Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B370 combination delivers a strictly entry-level experience in Evolve, with performance metrics that place it near the bottom of the database. The data shows a configuration that is consistently GPU-bound, where the integrated-class graphics solution is the primary constraint across all tested resolutions and settings. While the processor provides ample computational headroom, the frame rates indicate that the visual experience will require significant compromises to maintain playability.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This is a capable desktop CPU, as evidenced by its benchmark scores, which include a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438. The processor’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide adequate bandwidth for gaming workloads. In synthetic tests, the CPU’s percentile ranking against all CPUs is 74, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12490F, which scores only 0.3% higher in average benchmark score, indicating this processor is well-matched with mid-range competitors.

In the context of Evolve, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and manage game logic. Given the measured frame rates, the CPU is not the limiting factor. For instance, at 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 80 FPS, while at 4K with Low settings, it drops to 31 FPS. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU bottleneck, as the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant across resolutions, while the GPU’s pixel-pushing demands increase dramatically. The processor’s single-thread performance, as measured by a Geekbench single-core score of 1843, is more than sufficient for a 2015-era title like Evolve, which was released on 2015-02-09 and does not demand the multi-core throughput of modern AAA releases.

The data indicates that the CPU is effectively idle in this pairing. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 5523 and the max_threads score of 5554 show that the processor can handle heavy multi-threaded workloads, but Evolve does not appear to stress it. The bottleneck is unequivocally the GPU, which means that any performance tuning should focus on graphics settings rather than processor configurations. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it is a versatile part, but in this specific benchmark, its contribution to the final frame rate is indirect—it simply needs to stay out of the way, which it does effortlessly.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B370 ranks 2639 out of 2872 tested combos in Evolve. This places it in the bottom 8.1% of all configurations in the database, a position that underscores its limited gaming capability for this title. The rank reflects the aggregate performance across all measured settings and resolutions, and the data shows that this is a low-tier result, primarily due to the GPU’s weak absolute performance.

To contextualize the GPU’s contribution, the Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184, which places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 0.2% higher, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which scores 0.5% higher. This places the Arc B370 in the same performance class as integrated and entry-level discrete graphics solutions from over a decade ago. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 is the only benchmark recorded, and it confirms that this is not a part designed for high-refresh-rate gaming.

The combo rank of 2639 out of 2872 is a direct consequence of the GPU’s standing. While the CPU ranks in the 74th percentile, the GPU’s 5th percentile ranking drags the entire combo down. The data indicates that even a significantly weaker CPU would achieve similar frame rates in Evolve, as the GPU is saturated. The rank is not a reflection of the CPU’s capability but rather a measure of the system’s overall balance. For users looking at this combo, the expectation should be that it is suited for esports titles at low settings or older games, not for a demanding FPS like Evolve at high quality.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling data provides a clear picture of the system’s bottleneck. At 1080p, the combo achieves 80 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest recorded average. Moving to 1440p, the same Low settings yield 54 FPS, a drop of 32.5%. At 4K, the Low settings produce just 31 FPS, a further 42.6% reduction from 1440p. This scaling is non-linear and steep, indicating that the GPU is overwhelmed by the increasing pixel count.

A CPU-bound system would show relatively stable frame rates across resolutions, as the processor’s workload does not scale with resolution. Instead, the data shows a consistent and significant decline, which is the hallmark of a GPU bottleneck. For instance, at 1080p High, the average is 49 FPS; at 1440p High, it drops to 33 FPS; and at 4K High, it falls to 19 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 61.2%, which is substantial and confirms that the GPU’s fill rate and shader processing are the limiting factors.

The pattern is consistent across all settings. At Medium, the frame rates are 62 FPS (1080p), 42 FPS (1440p), and 24 FPS (4K), representing a 61.3% drop from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra, the numbers are 34 FPS, 23 FPS, and 13 FPS, a 61.8% drop. This uniformity suggests that the GPU is operating at its maximum capacity regardless of the preset, and the resolution scaling is purely a function of pixel throughput. The Intel Arc B370’s memory is "System Shared," meaning it relies on the CPU’s DDR4 memory, which has a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. This shared memory architecture likely contributes to the performance collapse at higher resolutions, as the memory bandwidth is insufficient for the data demands of 4K rendering.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo’s capabilities. At 1920x1080, the performance ranges from 80 FPS on Low to 34 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values, showing an average of 62 FPS with a minimum of 53 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. The High preset averages 49 FPS, while Low averages 80 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p is the only resolution where the system can approach playable frame rates, and only at Low settings does it exceed the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. The Low preset averages 54 FPS, while Medium averages 42 FPS (with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS). High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. None of the 1440p presets achieve a consistent 60 FPS, and even the Low preset falls below that mark, suggesting that this resolution is only viable for users who can tolerate sub-60 FPS gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates. The Low preset averages 31 FPS, Medium averages 24 FPS (with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 27 FPS), High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 13 FPS. These numbers are all below the standard 30 FPS threshold for playability, except for the Low preset, which barely scrapes by. The data shows that 4K is not a feasible resolution for this combo in Evolve, regardless of settings, as even the lowest quality preset cannot deliver a smooth experience.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the user’s performance target. For a 60 FPS experience, the only viable option is 1080p with Low settings, which averages 80 FPS. This preset provides the highest headroom and ensures smooth gameplay, though it sacrifices visual quality. The Medium preset at 1080p averages 62 FPS, which is also above 60 FPS, but the minimum recorded FPS is 53, indicating occasional dips below the target. For users who prefer a balance between visual fidelity and performance, the Medium preset at 1080p is the best choice, as it delivers playable frame rates while offering better graphics than Low.

At 1440p, the data shows that no preset achieves a consistent 60 FPS. The Low preset averages 54 FPS, which is close but not stable, and the Medium preset averages 42 FPS. For 1440p, the Low preset is the only option that approaches playability, but users must accept frame rates below 60 FPS. At 4K, the data indicates that the system is not capable of delivering a smooth experience, with the Low preset averaging 31 FPS. This is not recommended for competitive play, but it may be acceptable for users who prioritize resolution over frame rate.

The data also shows that the Ultra preset is consistently the worst performer across all resolutions, with averages of 34 FPS at 1080p, 23 FPS at 1440p, and 13 FPS at 4K. This preset should be avoided entirely, as it does not provide a playable experience even at 1080p. The High preset offers a middle ground, with averages of 49 FPS at 1080p, 33 FPS at 1440p, and 19 FPS at 4K, but it still falls short of the 60 FPS target. For the best experience per the measured rows, the recommendation is to use 1080p with Medium settings, as it provides a good balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 62 FPS and a minimum of 53 FPS.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated GPU based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. It has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units, along with 10 ray tracing cores. The GPU’s memory is "System Shared," meaning it uses the system’s DDR4 memory, which has a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. This shared memory architecture is a significant limitation, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth, which can lead to performance degradation, especially at higher resolutions.

The GPU’s compute capabilities are modest, with an FP32 throughput of 6.144 TFLOPS and a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s. These specifications are reflected in its benchmark performance, where it scores 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals, such as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and ATI Radeon HD 5770, are legacy parts from the early 2010s, indicating that the Arc B370’s performance is comparable to entry-level discrete graphics from that era.

In Evolve, the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The measured FPS data shows that the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates even at 1080p with High settings (49 FPS). The GPU’s low fill rate and shared memory bandwidth are the likely causes of the performance collapse at higher resolutions. At 4K, the system’s average FPS ranges from 13 to 31, which is well below playable thresholds. The GPU’s 25 W TDP and IGP slot width indicate that it is designed for low-power portable devices, not for gaming. The data confirms that the Intel Arc B370 is not suited for Evolve at any resolution above 1080p, and even at 1080p, users must lower settings to achieve smooth gameplay.
