Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER lands at rank 1049 out of 1695 tested combinations in Evolve. This places the combo in the lower-middle tier of the database, indicating that while it can handle the game, it is far from the top of the performance charts. The data shows a system that is capable of delivering playable frame rates at most settings, but it struggles to maintain high refresh rates at maximum quality presets, particularly at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1049 out of 1695 tested combinations reflects a configuration that sits below the median of the tested pool. This positioning is primarily due to the CPU’s modest standing among processors and the GPU’s mid-range placement. The CPU holds a percentile of 75 against all tested processors, meaning it outperforms three-quarters of the field, yet its average benchmark score of 17489 is nearly identical to that of the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, which scores 17482 with a deltaPct of 0. The Intel Core i5-12450H is a close rival at 17475, just 0.1 percent behind, while the Intel Core i3-14100T and Intel Core i3-13100F are slightly ahead at 17636 and 17665, respectively. This suggests the processor is competitive but not exceptional for gaming workloads.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2070 SUPER achieves a percentile of 65 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307, which is 0.5 percent higher, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z trails by 0.9 percent. The RTX 4060 Mobile is 2.3 percent ahead, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 is 2.5 percent behind. These margins are small, indicating the GPU is well-matched with its direct competitors. Combined, the rank suggests the pairing is balanced for 1080p and 1440p play but will require compromises at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Renoir, and built on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The chip features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and an 8 MB shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and the CPU connects via PCIe Gen 3 with 20 lanes. The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are present, though this combo relies on the discrete GPU.

For Evolve, the CPU’s single-thread performance is critical for game logic and frame pacing. The 3dmark single-thread score is 726, and the passmark single-thread score is 2653, which are modest figures. In contrast, the multi-threaded results are stronger: the 3dmark max threads score is 4889, and the cinebench r23 multicore score is 13593. The Cinebench R20 multicore result of 5709 further shows the chip’s capability in heavily threaded workloads. The data suggests that while the CPU can handle the game’s demands, it may become a limiting factor in scenarios with many AI-controlled monsters or intense physics calculations, especially when the GPU is not fully saturated.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU104 chip fabricated on a 12 nm process. It packs 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The GPU also includes 40 ray tracing cores and 320 tensor cores, though Evolve does not utilize these features. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz, or 14 Gbps effective.

The GPU’s compute power is significant, with a FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s. The pixel rate is 113.3 GPixel/s, which supports high-resolution rendering. In the 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the GPU scores 1651, which is a moderate result. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 98316 and Vulkan score of 94918 indicate solid compute capabilities. The Passmark G3D score of 18169 confirms its standing as a capable mid-range card. For Evolve, the 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures, and the high bandwidth ensures smooth data transfer, though the GPU’s performance will degrade as resolution and settings increase.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates reveal a clear pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong performance: Low settings yield an average of 178.7 FPS, Medium produces 137.9 FPS, High reaches 109.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 75.4 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p is well within the system’s comfort zone, with even Ultra settings remaining above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates decline but remain playable. Low settings average 116.9 FPS, Medium delivers 92.4 FPS, High achieves 74.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.1 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at this resolution is significant, nearly 23 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset’s additional effects are taxing the GPU heavily.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 66.2 FPS, Medium produces 54.3 FPS, High drops to 39.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 28.6 FPS. The 4K results show that the combo is only suitable for Low or Medium settings if a smooth experience is desired, with High and Ultra being unplayable for most users.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K highlights the GPU as the primary bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 178.7 at 1080p to 116.9 at 1440p, a 34.6 percent reduction, and then to 66.2 at 4K, a further 43.4 percent drop. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s pixel throughput is being saturated as resolution increases. The same trend is visible at Medium settings, where FPS falls from 137.9 at 1080p to 92.4 at 1440p and then to 54.3 at 4K.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is more involved, as the frame rates are high enough to expose any CPU limitations. However, as resolution climbs, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The gap between High and Ultra settings widens at higher resolutions, with the 4K Ultra result of 28.6 FPS being nearly unplayable. This pattern shows that while the CPU is adequate for the game, the GPU’s performance ceiling is reached at 1440p with high settings, and 4K requires significant compromises. The combination of a 75th percentile CPU with a 65th percentile GPU results in a system that is best suited for 1080p gaming at high refresh rates, with 1440p being playable at medium to high settings, and 4K reserved for low to medium presets.
