Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination was benchmarked in Evolve, a 2015 FPS title. The measured data covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with all results representing average frame rates. The combo ranks 771st out of 1695 tested combinations in this game. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 part with a 3.50 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock, sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs and carries a launch MSRP of $199. The GPU, an Ampere-based RTX 3070 with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs and carries a launch MSRP of 499 USD. The CPU's average benchmark score is 21765, while the GPU's is 28238.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates in Evolve show a clear pattern as resolution increases. At High settings, the combo delivers 128.7 FPS at 1920x1080, 89.1 FPS at 2560x1440, and 51.9 FPS at 3840x2160. The 4K result is less than half of the 1080p result, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary limiting component as resolution climbs.

At Low settings, the trend is similar: 215.7 FPS at 1080p, 146.1 FPS at 1440p, and 84.2 FPS at 4K. Even at the lowest quality preset, the 4K frame rate is less than half of the 1080p figure. The Medium preset shows 168.8 FPS at 1080p, 114.9 FPS at 1440p, and 63.9 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows 88.5 FPS at 1080p, 61.9 FPS at 1440p, and 35.9 FPS at 4K.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all presets. The 1440p results are substantially lower than the 1080p results, and the 4K results are lower still. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K — 84.2 versus 35.9 — demonstrates that the GPU is heavily taxed by the highest quality settings at high resolution. At 1080p, the CPU has more headroom, as evidenced by the 215.7 FPS Low result, which is more than double the 88.5 FPS Ultra result at the same resolution.

The data indicates that this combination is GPU-bound at 4K across all settings, and GPU-bound at 1440p and 1080p when quality settings are raised. The 1080p Low result of 215.7 FPS suggests that the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates when the GPU load is light. The 1440p High result of 89.1 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Ultra result of 88.5 FPS, showing that the GPU is doing comparable work in both scenarios. Similarly, the 4K Low result of 84.2 FPS is close to the 1080p Ultra result of 88.5 FPS, reinforcing the conclusion that the GPU is the dominant constraint at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 771st out of 1695 tested combinations in Evolve, placing it slightly below the midpoint of the tested field. More than half of the tested combos ranked ahead of this configuration. This mid-pack result is notable given the hardware's general-purpose strengths: the CPU is at the 79th percentile and the GPU at the 72nd percentile. The gap between these percentile positions and the in-game rank suggests that Evolve's engine does not fully translate the hardware's synthetic benchmark performance into frame rate.

The CPU's nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER has an average score of 21635, just 0.6% ahead of the Ryzen 5 5600's 21765. The AMD EPYC 9554P and EPYC 9534 each score 21899 and 21900, respectively, both 0.6% behind. The Intel Core i7-11700F scores 21957, 0.9% behind. This clustering means the Ryzen 5 5600 is effectively tied with several very different processors in synthetic workloads, yet the in-game rank of 771 out of 1695 shows that synthetic parity does not guarantee identical game performance.

The GPU's nearest rivals are similarly close. The AMD FirePro S7150 scores 28409, 0.6% ahead of the RTX 3070's 28238. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT scores 27985, 0.9% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti scores 27956, 1% behind. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28541, 1.1% ahead. The RTX 3070's position in this cluster indicates that its synthetic benchmark performance is well within the noise of several very different GPU architectures, and the Evolve results reflect this tight grouping.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 215.7 FPS at Low, 168.8 FPS at Medium, 128.7 FPS at High, and 88.5 FPS at Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is substantial, with the Ultra preset producing less than half the frame rate of the Low preset. The 1080p results are the highest in the entire measured set, with all four presets exceeding 88 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are 146.1 FPS at Low, 114.9 FPS at Medium, 89.1 FPS at High, and 61.9 FPS at Ultra. The lowest 1440p result is 61.9 FPS, which remains comfortably above the 4K results. The 1440p High result of 89.1 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Ultra result of 88.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU is doing comparable work in both scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the results are 84.2 FPS at Low, 63.9 FPS at Medium, 51.9 FPS at High, and 35.9 FPS at Ultra. The 4K Low result of 84.2 FPS is close to the 1080p Ultra result of 88.5 FPS, again showing comparable GPU workloads. The 4K High result of 51.9 FPS and the 4K Ultra result of 35.9 FPS are the lowest in the measured set, with the Ultra preset falling below 40 FPS.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution reduces the frame rate by a similar proportion across all settings. The 4K Ultra result of 35.9 FPS is the only measured result below 40 FPS, indicating that this combination struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at the highest resolution and quality settings. The 4K Medium result of 63.9 FPS and the 4K High result of 51.9 FPS are the only other results below 70 FPS, suggesting that 4K gaming in Evolve requires reduced settings to stay fluid.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1500 MHz with a boost clock of 1725 MHz. The memory runs at 1750 MHz, or 14 Gbps effective. The GPU has 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. It also includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores. The GPU's FP32 performance is 20.31 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 165.6 GPixel/s.

In Evolve, the GPU's role is clearly dominant at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 35.9 FPS, compared to the 1080p Low result of 215.7 FPS, shows that the GPU is the limiting factor when resolution and quality settings are maximized. The 8 GB memory capacity is sufficient for this 2015 title, as the measured results do not indicate any memory-related performance degradation — though the data does not include minimum frame rate measurements to confirm this.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 28238 places it at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD FirePro S7150, is 0.6% ahead, while the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is 0.9% behind. The RTX 3070's 220 W TDP and suggested 550 W power supply are consistent with a high-performance card of this class. The dual-slot design and 242 mm length are typical for the GeForce 30-series. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which covers the API requirements of Evolve.

The GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is a key specification for a fast-paced FPS. The 256-bit bus and 14 Gbps effective memory speed provide ample bandwidth for the texture-heavy scenes in Evolve. The 5888 shading units and 184 TMUs handle the geometry and texture work required at 4K resolution, though the 35.9 FPS Ultra result shows that even this hardware is pushed to its limits by the game's highest settings. The 96 ROPs and 165.6 GPixel/s pixel rate contribute to the fill-rate demands at high resolutions, and the measured scaling from 1080p to 4K reflects these constraints.
