Evolve

Benchmark data for Evolve combines the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Measured rows cover 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets, all reporting average FPS. The CPU is a 6-core/12-thread Zen 3 part with a 3.60 GHz base clock, 4.20 GHz boost clock, and a 79th-percentile standing among all CPUs. The GPU is an Ada Lovelace card with 12 GB GDDR6X and an 84th-percentile standing among all GPUs. The highest measured result is 265.7 FPS at 1080p Low; the lowest measured result is 46.1 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The data supports High as the strongest overall preset for this pairing. At 1080p High, the combo produces 177.6 FPS; at 1440p High, 121.2 FPS; and at 4K High, 68.6 FPS. High is the highest quality tier that still leaves meaningful headroom at every resolution, even though the 4K result is the weakest of the three.

Medium is the best alternative for players who prioritize smoothness at 4K. The 4K Medium result is 85.8 FPS, while 4K High is 68.6 FPS and 4K Ultra drops to 46.1 FPS. At 1080p and 1440p, Medium produces 225.1 and 154.2 FPS respectively, but High is close enough in the data to be the recommended experience. Low is the fastest preset at every resolution — 265.7 FPS at 1080p, 198.5 FPS at 1440p, and 108.7 FPS at 4K — but it sacrifices the visual settings that the High preset preserves. Ultra is the slowest tier at every resolution, with 123.3 FPS at 1080p, 82.9 FPS at 1440p, and the only measured result below 50 FPS at 46.1 FPS for 4K.

Because Ultra at 4K lands at 46.1 FPS, the measured data suggests that Ultra is best reserved for lower resolutions or scenarios where visual fidelity outweighs frame-rate smoothness. High offers the better balance across the full resolution range.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the AD104 chip with the Ada Lovelace architecture, a 5 nm process, 35,800 million transistors, and a die size of 294 mm². Its base clock is 1980 MHz and its boost clock is 2475 MHz. The memory subsystem uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1313 MHz — listed as 21 Gbps effective — and 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

These specifications map onto the Evolve results clearly. The 12 GB frame buffer is never a limiting factor in the measured rows: even the heaviest preset, 4K Ultra, completes with a measurable 46.1 FPS. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 42576, and its percentile versus all GPUs is 84. Its nearest rivals in the database are close: the NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 42653 with a deltaPct of -0.2, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 42723 with -0.3, the AMD Radeon Pro 580X scores 41991 with 1.4, and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 scores 41897 with 1.6.

The small synthetic deltas to these rivals suggest the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in a dense GPU performance band. Yet the measured Evolve FPS still falls sharply as settings increase, which indicates the game’s rendering workload is heavily engaging the GPU at higher presets. At 4K, for example, Low produces 108.7 FPS, Medium 85.8 FPS, High 68.6 FPS, and Ultra 46.1 FPS. The GPU is the component that scales those results.

How This Combo Ranks

In the measured Evolve table, this combination ranks 317th out of 1695 tested combos. That position is well inside the upper portion of the field, though not at the very top. The rank is consistent with the CPU and GPU percentile standings of 79 and 84 respectively.

The CPU’s nearest rival band is tightly packed. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 has an average benchmark score of 20875. The Intel Core i5-12500 scores 20897 with a deltaPct of -0.1, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE scores 20900 with -0.1, the AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20845 with 0.1, and the Intel Core i5-12600T scores 20917 with -0.2. Essentially, the CPU is within 0.2% of all four nearest rivals.

The GPU’s nearest rival band is similarly compact. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s average benchmark score is 42576, while the RTX A6000 sits at 42653 (-0.2), the RX 7650 GRE at 42723 (-0.3), the Radeon Pro 580X at 41991 (1.4), and the Tesla M40 at 41897 (1.6). The rankings reinforce the picture that this combo is not an outlier; it is a well-balanced mid-to-high-tier pairing that lands at 317 of 1695 in Evolve.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS drops monotonically from 1080p to 1440p to 4K on every settings tier. At Low, the results are 265.7, 198.5, and 108.7 FPS respectively. At Medium, they are 225.1, 154.2, and 85.8 FPS. At High, they are 177.6, 121.2, and 68.6 FPS. At Ultra, they are 123.3, 82.9, and 46.1 FPS.

This consistent resolution penalty indicates that the GPU is the predominant scaling component in Evolve. Each move to a higher pixel count reduces average FPS substantially, regardless of whether the preset is Low or Ultra. If the CPU were the main limiter, the 1080p and 4K results at the same preset would be closer together. Instead, the 4K figures are far below their 1080p counterparts, which points directly to GPU rendering load.

The 1080p Low result of 265.7 FPS is the highest point in the data and demonstrates that the CPU can drive a very high frame rate when the GPU is not heavily burdened. The 4K Ultra result of 46.1 FPS is the lowest point and shows that the GPU’s workload dominates once resolution and settings both rise. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB frame buffer and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth do not prevent either outcome; the FPS scaling is governed by the rendering cost of each resolution and preset combination.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 uses the Zen 3 architecture, codename Cezanne, on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz, a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, a TDP of 65 W, and a 16 MB L3 cache. Its average benchmark score is 20875, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 79.

Synthetic single-thread results include 3058 in PassMark single-thread, 2319 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 836 in 3dmark single-thread. Multithreaded results include 16429 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 5411 in 3dmark max threads. These numbers show a CPU with enough per-core performance to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER at high frame rates. The 1080p Low result of 265.7 FPS is the clearest evidence: achieving that FPS requires strong single-thread throughput.

The CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.2% of its average benchmark score, meaning the Ryzen 5 5500 is not an exceptional outlier in synthetic terms. Its role in Evolve is to keep up with the GPU at lower resolutions. At 1080p Medium and High, the combo still produces 225.1 and 177.6 FPS, which implies the CPU is not holding the platform back in those rows. At 4K Ultra, the CPU matters less because the GPU is the bottleneck, and the measured 46.1 FPS reflects that GPU-heavy workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured rows in the data set contain average FPS for three resolutions and four settings. All min and max FPS fields are null.

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |

| 1920x1080 | 265.7 | 225.1 | 177.6 | 123.3 |

| 2560x1440 | 198.5 | 154.2 | 121.2 | 82.9 |

| 3840x2160 | 108.7 | 85.8 | 68.6 | 46.1 |

At 1080p, Low delivers 265.7 FPS, Medium 225.1 FPS, High 177.6 FPS, and Ultra 123.3 FPS. At 1440p, Low delivers 198.5 FPS, Medium 154.2 FPS, High 121.2 FPS, and Ultra 82.9 FPS. At 4K, Low delivers 108.7 FPS, Medium 85.8 FPS, High 68.6 FPS, and Ultra 46.1 FPS.

The data shows a clear ordering at every resolution: Low is fastest, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The differences between presets are large enough that settings choice matters more than the synthetic benchmark gap between this CPU and its nearest rivals. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured point below 50 FPS, and the 1080p Low result is the only measured point above 250 FPS.
