Evolve

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the Intel Arc B580 lands at rank 1311 out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This is a combination where the CPU, despite being a capable six-core Zen 3 part, shows its age relative to the GPU's needs. The Ryzen 5 5600G sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19983, while the Arc B580 holds the 66th percentile among GPUs with an average score of 23021. The delta between these two components is telling: the GPU has more headroom than the CPU can consistently feed in this title.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals clarifies the picture. The Ryzen 5 5600G's average score of 19983 is a hair above the Intel Core i7-11600H (19949, +0.2%) and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (19928, +0.3%), while trailing the Intel Core i7-11800H and AMD EPYC 7713P (both 20024, -0.2%). These are all essentially neck-and-neck results, meaning the 5600G is not a bottleneck outlier—it is simply an average performer for its class. On the GPU side, the Arc B580's 23021 average score puts it 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon 760M (22999) and 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA P106-100 (22950), but 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (23181) and 1.3% ahead of the RTX 4060 Mobile (22729). The B580 is competitive, but not dominant.

In Evolve specifically, the combo's rank suggests that the measured frame rates are more constrained by the CPU than the GPU in most settings. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 155.6 FPS, which is strong, but the scaling from there to higher settings and resolutions reveals diminishing returns that point to CPU limitations. The overall rank of 1311 out of 1695 indicates that many other combos—likely those with newer or higher-clocked CPUs—deliver better consistency in this game, even if the GPU is comparable.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of CPU constraint at lower resolutions, transitioning to a more balanced load as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo delivers 155.6 FPS, which is an excellent result for a 60Hz or even 144Hz display. Scaling to 1440p Low, the average drops to 104.9 FPS—a 32.6% reduction. Moving to 4K Low, the average falls to 60.9 FPS, another 41.9% drop from 1440p. These steep declines from 1080p to 1440p and 1440p to 4K indicate that the GPU is being progressively taxed more, but the initial 1080p ceiling is set by the CPU.

At High settings, the pattern shifts. 1080p High yields 93.5 FPS, 1440p High drops to 65.3 FPS (-30.2%), and 4K High falls to 37.9 FPS (-42.0%). The percentage drops are similar to Low settings, suggesting that the CPU is still a limiting factor at High, since the GPU's workload increases but the frame rate declines in proportion. At Ultra settings, the numbers are lower overall: 1080p Ultra gives 66.3 FPS, 1440p Ultra gives 43.7 FPS (-34.1%), and 4K Ultra gives 28.2 FPS (-35.5%). The Ultra scaling is more moderate, indicating that at this preset, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, as the CPU has more room to feed frames.

The limiting component analysis is clear: at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600G's single-thread performance caps the combo, evidenced by the 155.6 FPS ceiling at Low settings. As resolution increases, the Arc B580's workload grows, and the frame rate drops in a way that reflects GPU-bound behavior. The fact that 4K Low (60.9 FPS) is higher than 1080p Ultra (66.3 FPS) is telling—the GPU can handle 4K if settings are low, but the CPU cannot push much beyond 155.6 FPS regardless of resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience for this combo depends on the target display and frame rate. At 1080p, Low settings deliver 155.6 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors, but Medium at 117 FPS offers a better balance of visual quality and smoothness—still well above 60 FPS. High at 93.5 FPS is also playable, but Ultra at 66.3 FPS begins to dip into less comfortable territory for competitive play. For 1080p, Medium is the recommended preset, as it provides a 117 FPS average while retaining more visual fidelity than Low, and the gap to High (93.5 FPS) is not worth the quality loss for most users.

At 1440p, the situation tightens. Low settings produce 104.9 FPS, which is excellent for 1440p, but Medium at 82.7 FPS is still very smooth and looks noticeably better. High at 65.3 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced modes, while Ultra at 43.7 FPS is not recommended for consistent play. The sweet spot at 1440p is Medium, offering 82.7 FPS—a 21.2% drop from Low but a significant visual upgrade. For 4K, Low is the only viable preset, yielding 60.9 FPS, which is just at the edge of playability. Medium at 46.3 FPS and High at 37.9 FPS are too low for a smooth experience, and Ultra at 28.2 FPS is unplayable. Thus, the data recommends Medium at 1080p, Medium at 1440p, and Low at 4K as the best experience per preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 155.6 FPS, making it the only preset to exceed 150 FPS. Medium follows at 117 FPS, a 24.8% reduction from Low. High settings yield 93.5 FPS, another 20.1% drop from Medium. Ultra is the lowest at 1080p, with 66.3 FPS—a 29.1% reduction from High. The spread from Low to Ultra is 89.3 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not the sole bottleneck at this resolution, as the GPU's workload increases with each preset.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are more compressed. Low settings average 104.9 FPS, which is 32.6% lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium drops to 82.7 FPS, a 21.2% reduction from Low at the same resolution. High comes in at 65.3 FPS, a 21.0% decrease from Medium. Ultra is significantly lower at 43.7 FPS, a 33.1% drop from High. The total spread from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 61.2 FPS, showing that the GPU is becoming a more dominant factor as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 60.9 FPS, which is the only 4K preset above 60 FPS. Medium drops to 46.3 FPS, a 24.0% reduction from Low. High falls to 37.9 FPS, an 18.1% decrease from Medium. Ultra is the lowest measured result in the entire dataset at 28.2 FPS, a 25.6% drop from High. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 32.7 FPS, the smallest of any resolution, confirming that the GPU is heavily taxed and the CPU is no longer the primary constraint. Across all resolutions, the data shows a consistent pattern: Low settings offer the highest frame rates, Ultra the lowest, and the gap between presets narrows as resolution rises.
