Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a combination of a 2020 entry-level CPU and a 2024 high-end GPU, and in Evolve this pairing produces a surprisingly robust 1080p experience, though 4K Ultra remains out of reach. Benchmark data shows the combo ranks 781st out of 3700 tested configurations, placing it in the top 21% of all tested combos for this game. The RTX 4070 SUPER carries nearly all the graphical load, while the 6-core Ryzen 5 4600G provides enough throughput to avoid major bottlenecks at lower resolutions.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Evolve?*

A: Based on measured FPS data, 1920x1080 is the sweet spot. At Medium settings, the combo delivers 211 FPS average with a minimum of 179 FPS and a maximum of 243 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame data places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at rank 781 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve. That puts the setup in the top 21.1% of all configurations tested, a strong showing for a system built around a 2020-era processor. The ranking reflects the balance between the Ryzen 5 4600G's modest multi-threaded capabilities and the RTX 4070 SUPER's high-end rasterization performance.

In practical terms, this rank means the combo outperforms roughly 79% of all tested systems in this game, but it is not at the very top tier. The gap to the top is explained by the CPU's age; the 4600G's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Evolve, but they do not provide the headroom that newer 8-core or higher processors would offer when paired with a GPU of this class. The GPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs is higher than the combo's overall game rank, which signals that the CPU is the limiting factor in achieving a higher position.

The deltaPct against nearest CPU rivals is tight—within 0.8%—which means swapping the 4600G for a similarly priced or newer chip like the Intel Core i3-14100T would not dramatically shift the overall game ranking. The GPU's nearest rivals, including the RTX 4090 Mobile and the Quadro M6000, are within 1% of its average score, reinforcing that the 4070 SUPER is a consistent performer regardless of the CPU attached to it.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, responsible for the vast majority of frame generation in Evolve. The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process from TSMC, with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth—plenty for a 2015 title like Evolve even at high resolutions.

Clock speeds are substantial: the base clock is 1980 MHz, boosting to 2475 MHz. The memory runs at 1313 MHz, which equates to 21 Gbps effective. These clocks, combined with 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, yield a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s. For a game like Evolve, which is not particularly demanding by modern standards, these specs translate to high frame rates even at 1440p.

The GPU's FP32 performance is 35.48 TFLOPS, with FP16 at the same figure (1:1 ratio). It also includes 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, though these are largely irrelevant for Evolve, which does not use ray tracing or DLSS. The 220 W TDP and dual-slot design require a 550 W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin power connector, making it a substantial but manageable addition to a system.

In benchmark terms, the GPU scores 29995 in Passmark G3D and 17108 in Passmark GPU Compute. Its 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs is reflected in the measured FPS: at 1080p Low, the combo hits 232 FPS average, showing the GPU is rarely the bottleneck at lower settings. At 4K Ultra, however, the GPU's limits become clear, with the average FPS dropping to 47.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data suggests that Medium settings offer the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 211 FPS average with a minimum of 179 FPS—a smooth, stutter-free experience that leaves headroom for background tasks. The maximum of 243 FPS indicates the GPU is not fully saturating, so there is room for higher settings if the monitor supports it.

At 2560x1440, Medium still delivers an excellent 152 FPS average with a minimum of 129 FPS. This is comfortably above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many 1440p monitors offer, making it the recommended setting for that resolution. The jump from Low (196 FPS) to Medium (152 FPS) costs about 22% performance but provides a noticeable improvement in visual fidelity in Evolve's jungle environments.

At 3840x2160, Medium drops to 86 FPS average with a minimum of 73 FPS. This is still playable on a 60 Hz display, but the margin is thinner. For 4K, Low settings (111 FPS average) are the safer choice if you want to guarantee no drops below 60 FPS, though Medium is acceptable if you prioritize visuals over a rock-solid frame rate.

Ultra settings are not recommended for any resolution. At 1080p, Ultra yields 123 FPS average—still playable but a 42% drop from Medium. At 1440p, Ultra falls to 82 FPS, and at 4K, it bottoms out at 47 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The performance cost of Ultra over Medium is steep, and the visual difference in a fast-paced FPS like Evolve is unlikely to justify it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings levels, providing a complete picture of the combo's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the results are consistently high: Low settings produce 232 FPS average, Medium produces 211 FPS (with a 179 FPS minimum and 243 FPS maximum), High produces 177 FPS, and Ultra produces 123 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 109 FPS, showing the GPU has significant headroom at 1080p.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but begin to show the GPU's workload. Low settings yield 196 FPS average, Medium yields 152 FPS (129 minimum, 174 maximum), High yields 119 FPS, and Ultra drops to 82 FPS. The 1440p results are roughly 15-25% lower than 1080p across the board, consistent with the increase in pixel count from 2.07 million to 3.69 million.

At 3840x2160, the performance gap widens. Low settings produce 111 FPS average, Medium produces 86 FPS (73 minimum, 99 maximum), High produces 68 FPS, and Ultra produces 47 FPS. The 4K results are about 50% lower than 1080p, which aligns with the 4x pixel count increase. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium (73 FPS) is still above 60, but the Ultra minimum is not recorded, suggesting it may be below playable thresholds.

The data shows a clear linear relationship between resolution and performance, with no anomalies or stutter issues. The Medium settings at each resolution have recorded minimum and maximum FPS values, and in all cases, the minimum is within 15% of the average, indicating stable frame pacing.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 4000 series, built on the Zen 2 architecture (codenamed Renoir) using a 7 nm process from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and it uses PCIe Gen 3 with 20 lanes.

In Evolve, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough draw calls and physics calculations to avoid bottlenecking. The game is not heavily threaded, so the 4600G's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient. Benchmark results support this: the CPU scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1919 in single-core, placing it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. The single-core score is particularly relevant for Evolve, which relies on a few main threads for game logic.

The CPU's Passmark scores show a strong balance: 50723 in integer math, 29947 in floating-point math, and 15992 in multithreaded tests. The single-thread score of 2653 is respectable for a 2020 chip, though it trails newer processors. In the context of Evolve, the CPU's performance is adequate—the measured FPS at 1080p Low (232 FPS) shows the GPU is not starved for data, and the frame rates scale predictably with resolution.

However, the CPU's age shows in the combo rank. At 781st out of 3700, the combo is held back by the 4600G's relatively modest single-thread performance compared to newer chips. The nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i3-14100T (0.8% faster) and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (0.6% faster), are all within a percentage point in average benchmark score, meaning a CPU swap would not yield a dramatic change in Evolve performance. The 4600G's integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are present but unused in this configuration, and its unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking, though the data does not include overclocked results.
