Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination ranks at position 300 out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the top 17.7% of all configurations analyzed. This is a strong showing for a pairing that pairs a Zen 2-based processor with a high-end Ada Lovelace GPU, indicating that the system delivers competitive frame rates without being held back by its older CPU architecture. The ranking reflects a balanced system where neither component is drastically underperforming relative to the other, though the data suggests the GPU is doing the heavy lifting at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 300 out of 1695 places it firmly in the upper tier of tested systems, but it is not near the top. The CPU itself sits at the 75th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 17489. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (score 17482, delta 0%), the Intel Core i5-12450H (score 17475, delta 0.1%), and the Intel Core i3-14100T (score 17636, delta -0.8%). These deltas are minuscule, showing that the 4600G is essentially performance-equivalent to those chips in synthetic workloads, but none of them are particularly high-end parts. The GPU, meanwhile, sits at the 86th percentile with an average score of 48704, and its nearest rivals show a slightly wider spread: the NVIDIA CMP 50HX (score 49071, delta -0.7%), the NVIDIA RTX A2000 (score 47915, delta 1.6%), and the Intel Arc A550M (score 49737, delta -2.1%). This suggests the GPU is a more capable component than the CPU, and the game’s ranking reflects that dynamic—the combo lands in a solid but not elite position, likely because the 4600G limits performance in CPU-bound scenarios.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing. It comes with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 2340 MHz, boosting to 2610 MHz, which are high figures that support its strong compute throughput: 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. These specifications translate into a GPU that is well-suited for Evolve’s rendering demands, particularly at higher resolutions where memory capacity and bandwidth become critical. The 16 GB VRAM is notably generous for a game from 2015, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER will not be constrained by texture memory even at 4K with high-quality assets. The data confirms this: at 4K Ultra, the combo still manages 49.7 FPS, a figure that drops from the 4K High result of 73.2 FPS, showing the GPU’s capability is being exercised but not exhausted. The GPU’s percentile ranking (86th) and its benchmark scores—such as 31811 in Passmark G3D and 18372 in Passmark GPU Compute—underscore its role as the primary driver of frame rates in this system.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, with the GPU becoming more of a bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 232.3 FPS, which drops to 205.5 FPS at 1440p Low, a reduction of 26.8 FPS (approximately 11.5%). Moving to 4K Low, the frame rate falls further to 119.4 FPS, a 52.7% drop from the 1080p Low figure. This steep decline at 4K indicates the system is transitioning from a CPU-bound state at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound state at 4K. At 1080p High, the system hits 187.9 FPS, which is still very high, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU well enough at that resolution. However, at 4K High, the frame rate drops to 73.2 FPS, a 61% reduction, showcasing the GPU’s workload increasing dramatically. The Ultra preset shows similar behavior: 130.2 FPS at 1080p, 88.9 FPS at 1440p, and 49.7 FPS at 4K. These numbers indicate that while the CPU is sufficient for high refresh rate gaming at 1080p, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting factor at 4K, where its raw compute and memory bandwidth are stretched.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the High preset at 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, delivering 126.1 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and the 1440p resolution provides a significant visual upgrade over 1080p without the steep performance cost of 4K. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Medium at 213 FPS is an excellent choice, as it maintains high refresh rate compatibility while still offering better visuals than Low. The Ultra preset is only viable at 1080p, where it hits 130.2 FPS, but at 1440p it drops to 88.9 FPS, which is still playable but less ideal for competitive play. At 4K, High settings at 73.2 FPS are the recommended option, as Ultra falls below 50 FPS, which is too low for a fast-paced FPS. The Low preset, while reaching 232.3 FPS at 1080p, sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a marginal gain over Medium, making it a poor trade-off unless the user has a 240 Hz monitor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 232.3 FPS, Medium reaches 213 FPS, High achieves 187.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 130.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 102.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution, and even the most demanding preset remains well above 100 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates are still strong but show a clear step down. Low settings yield 205.5 FPS, Medium 163.5 FPS, High 126.1 FPS, and Ultra 88.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the first point where the system drops below 100 FPS, suggesting that the combination of higher resolution and maximum settings begins to tax the GPU significantly. At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens considerably. Low settings manage 119.4 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium falls to 88.6 FPS, High drops to 73.2 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 49.7 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 69.7 FPS, highlighting how much the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are stressed at this resolution. Overall, the data shows a system that is capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, but requires careful settings management at 4K to maintain acceptable performance.
