Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and AMD Radeon RX 9070 combination ranks 548th out of 1,695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the upper third of all configurations. This is a strong result for a pairing that pairs a Zen 3 six-core processor with a current-generation RDNA 4 graphics card. The rank indicates that this combo delivers a smooth experience at most settings, though it falls short of the top-tier configurations that dominate the highest refresh-rate 4K play. The data shows a system that is well-balanced for this title, with the GPU doing the heavy lifting at higher resolutions while the CPU keeps pace at lower settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s 548th place out of 1,695 tested configurations puts it in the 68th percentile of all pairings tested for Evolve. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT itself sits in the 78th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 20,740. Its nearest rivals in synthetic CPU tests are the Intel Core i7-10700 (20,746, 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-12490F (20,794, -0.3% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (20,680, 0.3% delta). This means the processor is essentially performance-equivalent to those three chips, with a negligible difference of less than one percent in either direction.

On the GPU side, the Radeon RX 9070 holds the 79th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34,780. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA A2 (34,866, -0.2% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (34,677, 0.3% delta), and the AMD Radeon HD 7970 (34,541, 0.7% delta). While the RX 9070 is technically ahead of the HD 7970 by a fraction of a percent in aggregate benchmarks, the gap in Evolve is far more pronounced due to modern architecture advantages. The CPU’s 78th percentile ranking and the GPU’s 79th percentile ranking are closely matched, which suggests a balanced pairing that avoids a significant bottleneck in either direction. The 548th combo rank reflects this balance: not a top-tier flagship setup, but comfortably above the median tested configuration.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 9070’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Evolve’s textures and geometry at all tested resolutions. The GPU’s boost clock reaches 2520 MHz, with a game clock of 2070 MHz and a base clock of 1330 MHz. These clocks are relevant because the measured frame rates show a clear scaling pattern: at 1080p Low, the combo hits 249.9 FPS, which is close to the practical limit for many displays. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 38.9 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint at the highest settings.

The GPU’s 3584 shading units and 128 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s. These specifications translate into strong fill-rate performance, which is critical for a fast-paced FPS like Evolve. The 56 ray accelerators are present but largely irrelevant for this game, as the title does not heavily utilize ray tracing. The FP32 throughput of 36.13 TFLOPS provides the raw compute power needed to sustain high frame rates, and the data confirms this: the frame rate at 1440p High (99.6 FPS) is significantly higher than at 4K High (60 FPS), a 66% improvement that aligns with the pixel count difference between the two resolutions. The GPU’s role is dominant; the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, where the 249.9 FPS Low result suggests the GPU is still the limiter rather than the processor.

FAQ

*Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 4K gaming in Evolve?*

A: The measured FPS data clearly favors 1080p. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 107.1 FPS, which is playable, but at 4K Ultra the average drops to 38.9 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The 1440p results are a middle ground, with High settings yielding 99.6 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600GT’s average benchmark score is 20,740. The Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20,746 (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20,794 (-0.3% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X scores 20,680 (0.3% delta). The differences are within one percent, meaning the 5600GT is effectively tied with these processors.

*Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combo in Evolve?*

A: The highest measured average FPS is 249.9, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This is just below the 250 FPS mark, indicating the combo can push very high refresh rates at the lowest preset.

Q: Does the GPU’s 16 GB VRAM provide any tangible benefit in this game?

A: At the tested settings and resolutions, the 16 GB frame buffer is not a limiting factor. The frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings, suggesting that the GPU’s compute and memory bandwidth, rather than VRAM capacity, are the primary determinants of performance in Evolve.

Q: How does the combo rank relative to all other tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 548th out of 1,695 tested combos. This places it above the median, with roughly 68% of tested configurations performing worse in Evolve.

Q: What is the difference in average FPS between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 164.8 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 69 FPS. This is a 95.8 FPS difference, or a 139% improvement when switching from Ultra to Low.

Settings Recommendations

The data indicates that the Ultra preset is generally not the best choice for this combo, as it pushes the average FPS below 60 at 4K (38.9 FPS) and only reaches 69 FPS at 1440p. For a smooth experience, the High preset is the sweet spot: it delivers 60 FPS at 4K, 99.6 FPS at 1440p, and 149.6 FPS at 1080p. This preset balances visual fidelity with playability across all three resolutions. If the target is 1440p at 100+ FPS, the Medium preset is a viable alternative, producing 129.8 FPS at that resolution. The Low preset offers the highest frame rates (249.9 FPS at 1080p, 164.8 FPS at 1440p, 94.2 FPS at 4K) but sacrifices significant visual quality. For competitive play, the Low preset at 1080p is the best option due to its near-250 FPS average, which exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. For a single-player or casual experience, the High preset at 1440p is recommended, as it provides a 99.6 FPS average while maintaining a higher level of graphical detail than Medium or Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo shows strong scaling across presets. The Low setting averages 249.9 FPS, which is the highest measured result for any resolution and settings combination. Medium drops to 190.8 FPS, a 24% reduction from Low. High averages 149.6 FPS, which is still well above the 144 Hz threshold. The Ultra preset averages 107.1 FPS, which is a 52% decrease from Low but remains comfortably playable on a 60 Hz display.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales similarly but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 164.8 FPS, Medium averages 129.8 FPS, and High averages 99.6 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 69 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS baseline but may experience noticeable dips during heavy action. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 34% of the frame rate at each preset, which is consistent with the increased pixel load.

At 3840x2160, the combo begins to struggle at higher settings. Low averages 94.2 FPS, which is still smooth. Medium averages 72.1 FPS, and High averages 60 FPS exactly, hitting the target for a standard 60 Hz display. The Ultra preset averages 38.9 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for most users and indicates that the GPU is saturated. The data shows a clear pattern: the combo is capable of 4K gaming at High settings (60 FPS), but Ultra is not recommended at this resolution. The 1440p results show a balanced pairing, while 1080p results demonstrate the combo’s ability to drive high-refresh-rate monitors with the High preset or above.
