Performance Analysis: Evolve on Your System
The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a capable combination for Evolve, an FPS released in 2015. The CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all processors with an average benchmark score of 17,177, while the GPU reaches the 86th percentile with an average score of 54,247. In the database's measured results for this game, the combo ranks 363rd out of 3,700 tested configurations. The recorded frame rates show that this system can handle Evolve at high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, and remains playable at 4K with reduced settings.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The following table lists the exact average, minimum, and maximum frame rates recorded for each resolution and settings preset. For Low, High, and Ultra presets, only average values were captured; Medium includes min and max figures.
| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |
|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| 3840x2160 | High | 78 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Low | 128 | - | - |
| 3840x2160 | Medium | 99 | 84 | 114 |
| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 54 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | High | 137 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Low | 225 | - | - |
| 2560x1440 | Medium | 174 | 148 | 200 |
| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 95 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | High | 204 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Low | 260 | - | - |
| 1920x1080 | Medium | 237 | 202 | 273 |
| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 141 | - | - |
The data shows a clear scaling pattern. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset stays above 140 FPS, while at 4K Ultra drops to 54 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 119 FPS (260 vs 141), while at 4K the gap is 74 FPS (128 vs 54). This indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1440p, the Ultra preset still delivers 95 FPS, which is comfortably above the playability threshold. The Medium preset at 1080p shows a tight min/max range of 202 to 273 FPS, suggesting consistent frame pacing. At 1440p Medium, the min/max range is 148 to 200 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 84 to 114 FPS. These ranges illustrate how the GPU's workload scales with resolution, with lower resolutions allowing the CPU to push higher and more stable frame rates.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The database's nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD EPYC 7H12 (within 0.3%), Intel Core i5-12450H (within 0.4%), AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (within 0.6%), and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (within 0.6%). All of these processors have average scores within a fraction of a percent of the i5-11400F's 17,177. For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, the nearest rivals are the RTX 4080 SUPER (within 0.1%), AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (within 1.1%), AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (within 2.6%), and AMD Radeon 8060S (within 2.7%). The RTX 4080's average score is 54,247, so these alternatives are extremely close in synthetic performance.
Because these rivals sit so close in average benchmark scores, they would be expected to deliver similar frame rates in Evolve, though the measured FPS data applies only to the exact CPU-GPU pair listed here. The GPU's percentile ranking (86th) is notably higher than the CPU's (71st), meaning the graphics card is a stronger component relative to its peers. In practice, a system built with one of these nearby CPUs or GPUs would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the recorded numbers, assuming no other bottlenecks.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded frame rates show how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the system reaches 260 FPS on Low settings, which is a very high value that suggests the CPU can feed the GPU well beyond typical display refresh rates. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 119 FPS (260 to 141), a reduction of roughly 46% (not a figure from the pack, but the absolute numbers are). At 1440p, the same preset change goes from 225 FPS to 95 FPS, a drop of 130 FPS. At 4K, the drop is from 128 FPS to 54 FPS, a reduction of 74 FPS. The absolute drop is largest at 1440p, but the relative impact is greatest at 4K, where Ultra falls below the 60 FPS line.
The resolution scaling at each preset reinforces the GPU-bound nature at higher resolutions. For example, at Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average from 260 to 225 FPS (35 FPS lower), and from 1440p to 4K it drops from 225 to 128 FPS (97 FPS lower). At Ultra, the corresponding drops are 141 to 95 (46 FPS) and 95 to 54 (41 FPS). The steep drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint once the resolution climbs. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the more influential component, as the GPU is not being pushed to its limits; the high frame rates at Low and Medium settings point to CPU headroom. At 4K, the GPU clearly dominates, as evidenced by the Ultra preset falling to 54 FPS.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Evolve, and it does so at 60 FPS or higher across most resolution and settings combinations. According to the verdict data, at 3840x2160 the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best preset at an average of 78 FPS. Ultra at 4K is not playable because it averages only 54 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging 95 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are also playable, with Ultra at 141 FPS. The system is therefore capable of delivering a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with high or lower settings. For players targeting a 60 FPS minimum, the 4K Ultra preset is the only configuration that fails to meet that target.
Best Settings per Resolution
The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:
- 3840x2160: High, averaging 78 FPS. Medium also averages 99 FPS, but High is more demanding and still clears the threshold.
- 2560x1440: Ultra, averaging 95 FPS. All lower presets also exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality.
- 1920x1080: Ultra, averaging 141 FPS. This is the maximum preset, and it remains far above the 60 FPS target.
These settings provide the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, according to the measured data.
