Performance Analysis: Evolve on Your System
The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a high-end combination that delivers exceptional performance in Evolve, ranking in the 84th percentile of all tested combos. The data indicates this system is not merely capable of running the game; it is built to crush it at high resolutions and settings, with the primary limitation appearing only at 4K Ultra settings where frame rates dip below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
How This Combo Ranks
Out of 3,700 tested hardware combinations for Evolve, this specific pairing of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER holds the 616th position. This places it firmly in the top 17% of all combos, a strong indicator of its high-end status. The ranking reflects a balanced system where the CPU's substantial multi-threaded throughput complements the GPU's raw rasterization power, resulting in a combination that is far more likely to be bottlenecked by a monitor's refresh rate than by the hardware itself.
The CPU and GPU each contribute to this strong showing. The Core Ultra 7 265 sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with a benchmark average of 64,640. This is a top-tier processor, though its nearest rivals show that the field is competitive at this level. The RTX 4070 SUPER, while ranking slightly lower in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, is still a formidable performer with an average benchmark score of 43,223. The combo's overall rank of 616 suggests that the GPU is the more likely constraint in demanding scenarios, but in the context of Evolve, a game from 2015, the hardware is more than sufficient to provide a high-refresh-rate experience.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The benchmark data identifies several processors that deliver performance nearly identical to the Core Ultra 7 265. This is useful for understanding the system's capabilities in CPU-bound scenarios. The closest rival is the AMD EPYC 4464P, which scores a near-identical 64,823 average, a mere 0.3% difference. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is effectively the same chip without integrated graphics, scoring 64,438, which is 0.3% lower. The AMD EPYC 7343 and AMD EPYC 9124 are also within a 0.7% performance delta, indicating that any of these CPUs would produce similar results in Evolve, which is not heavily CPU-threaded.
On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rivals are a mixed bag of professional and mobile parts. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB and the standard Quadro M6000 score within 0.1% and 0.2% of the 4070 SUPER, respectively. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is also within 0.1%, and the RTX 4090 Mobile is a mere 1% faster. For a desktop gaming context, this means the RTX 4070 SUPER provides a level of performance that is comparable to a top-tier laptop GPU from a newer generation, making it a solid choice for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming and capable 4K gaming.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Evolve at 4K resolution?
A: Yes, the combination is playable at 4K on High settings, with an average frame rate of 68 FPS. It also runs at 4K Medium with an average of 86 FPS. However, at 4K Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops to 47 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?
A: At 2560x1440, the system can handle the Ultra preset while maintaining an average of 82 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS target with a comfortable margin.
Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?
A: The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 performs nearly identically to the AMD EPYC 4464P, with a score difference of only 0.3%. It is also within 0.7% of the AMD EPYC 7343 and EPYC 9124, making them all equivalent in performance for this title.
Q: Is the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance unique, or are there similar GPUs?
A: The benchmark data shows the RTX 4070 SUPER is closely matched by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile and the Quadro M6000 series. The RTX 4090 Mobile is the only listed rival that is faster, and only by 1%.
Q: What frame rates can be expected at 1080p with High settings?
A: At 1920x1080 with the High preset, the system achieves an average of 177 FPS. This is more than enough for a high-refresh-rate 1080p monitor and indicates the CPU and GPU have significant headroom.
Q: What is the best playable setting at 4K?
A: The High preset is the most demanding setting that remains playable at 4K, delivering an average of 68 FPS. The Medium preset is also playable with a higher average of 86 FPS, but High offers better visual fidelity while still exceeding the 60 FPS target.
The Verdict
The data unequivocally shows that the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and RTX 4070 SUPER can run Evolve. At 1920x1080, every preset, including Ultra, is playable, with Ultra averaging 123 FPS. Stepping up to 2560x1440, the system again clears the 60 FPS bar at all settings, with the Ultra preset delivering a strong 82 FPS average. At 4K (3840x2160), the system remains playable on High, Medium, and Low presets, with High being the best playable option at 68 FPS. The only setting that fails to reach the 60 FPS playable threshold is 4K Ultra, which drops to 47 FPS. For most users, this means the system can deliver a flawless high-refresh-rate experience at 1080p and 1440p, and a solid 60+ FPS experience at 4K with a modest reduction from the highest preset.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured performance data provides a clear picture of the system's capabilities across all common resolutions. The data shows a predictable scaling of performance as resolution and graphical load increase.
At 3840x2160 (4K):

Best Settings per Resolution
The objective is to find the highest visual quality preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. The results are as follows:
- 3840x2160 (4K): The best setting is High, which produces an average of 68 FPS. While Medium offers a higher average of 86 FPS, High provides superior visuals while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold.
- 2560x1440 (1440p): The best setting is Ultra, which maintains a solid average of 82 FPS. This allows for maximum graphical fidelity without sacrificing playability.
- 1920x1080 (1080p): The best setting is Ultra, which delivers an average of 123 FPS. This combination ensures that the game will be limited by the display's refresh rate rather than the hardware.
