Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 combination represents a pairing of a modern, capable processor with an older, entry-level graphics card. In Evolve, the benchmark data indicates that this system is heavily constrained by its GPU, producing playable results only at lower settings and resolutions, while struggling to maintain smooth performance at higher presets.

FAQ

*Q: What is the overall performance ranking of this CPU and GPU combo in Evolve?*

A: The data places this combination at rank 1620 out of 1695 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 5% of all tested configurations, indicating that it is one of the slower systems in the database for this specific title.

A: The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 yields the lowest average frame rate of 13.9 FPS. This is the most demanding configuration in the entire dataset.

Q: Does the CPU have integrated graphics?

A: Yes, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT includes Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics. However, in this benchmark scenario, it is paired with the discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, which is the primary graphics processor for rendering the game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and can boost up to 4.60 GHz. In synthetic testing, its performance is substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438. This level of processing power is far beyond what is typically needed for a game like Evolve.

The benchmark data strongly suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this configuration. Even at the lowest resolution and settings tested (1080p Low), the average frame rate is 78 FPS, which is a modest figure for a modern 6-core processor. The CPU's percentile rank of 78 and its near-identical performance to the Intel Core i7-10700 and Ryzen 5 5600X show it is a high-performing part. Given that the GPU is from the entry-level segment, the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames, meaning the bottleneck lies elsewhere.

The 16 MB of L3 cache and 12 threads are more than sufficient for the game's logic and physics calculations. The PassMark physics score of 875 further confirms that the processor can handle complex simulations without breaking a sweat. The data implies that the Ryzen 5 5600GT is effectively waiting on the graphics card, its potential untapped by the GPU's limitations in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1620 out of 1695 is a stark indicator of its overall performance level. This is not a ranking that suggests a balanced or capable gaming system for Evolve. It sits firmly in the lower tier of all possible configurations, a position dictated almost entirely by the graphics card.

Looking at the CPU's rivals, the performance parity with the Intel Core i7-10700 (0% delta) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (0.3% delta) confirms that the processor is not holding the system back. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a significant performance gap between these parts in the game's frame rates. Instead, the data shows the system's performance is consistently low across all settings, which points to the GPU as the primary constraint. The 1620th place ranking is a direct consequence of the GTX 1650's position in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs, a clear sign of its entry-level status.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy based on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system can deliver playable frame rates, but only at lower presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 78 FPS. Moving to Medium drops the average to 60.2 FPS. High is still mostly playable at 48.2 FPS, but the Ultra preset falls to an average of 31.1 FPS, which is below the smooth threshold for a fast-paced FPS.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. The Low preset averages 53.9 FPS, which is acceptable, but Medium falls to 40.4 FPS. High drops to 31.5 FPS, and Ultra becomes difficult at 19.7 FPS. The trend is clear: the GTX 1650's 4 GB of VRAM and limited bandwidth begin to be overwhelmed at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system is not viable for gaming. Even the Low preset only manages an average of 32 FPS. Medium is 22 FPS, High is 15.8 FPS, and Ultra is a slideshow at 13.9 FPS. The data shows a steep, consistent decline as resolution increases, confirming that the GPU's capabilities are exhausted quickly.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is the definitive bottleneck in this system. It is a Turing-architecture GPU with 896 shading units and 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. Its average benchmark score of 8713 places it in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs, and its performance is nearly identical to the Quadro P2200 (0.5% faster) and RTX 3050 A Mobile (0.4% slower).

The GPU's role in Evolve is to render the game's environments and effects. The data shows that it is severely outmatched at higher settings. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is likely a limiting factor at 1440p and 4K, where texture data exceeds its capacity, leading to the dramatic frame rate drops observed. The FP32 performance of 2.984 TFLOPS is simply not enough to handle the pixel and texture fill rates required by higher resolutions. The drop from 53.28 GPixel/s pixel rate is insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering, which explains the sub-20 FPS results at that resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this hardware is at 1920x1080 with the Medium preset. This setting achieves an average of 60.2 FPS, which is the threshold for smooth, playable performance in most games. It provides a significant improvement in visual fidelity over the Low preset (78 FPS) while maintaining a framerate that is 25% higher than the High preset (48.2 FPS).

For players who prioritize a higher frame rate, the Low preset at 1080p is the best choice, offering an average of 78 FPS. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that approaches a high-refresh-rate experience. The High preset at 1080p is playable but may feel less responsive, while the Ultra preset should be avoided due to its 31.1 FPS average. At 1440p, only the Low preset provides a playable experience. All 4K settings are not recommended for gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows how the system's performance degrades as resolution increases. From 1080p to 1440p, the average frame rate across all settings drops by approximately 33-40%. At the Low preset, the drop is from 78 FPS to 53.9 FPS (a 31% reduction). The decline is more pronounced at higher settings, with the High preset dropping from 48.2 FPS to 31.5 FPS (a 35% reduction).

Scaling to 4K is catastrophic. Compared to the 1440p results, the Low preset falls from 53.9 FPS to 32 FPS (a 41% drop). The High preset falls from 31.5 FPS to 15.8 FPS (a 50% drop). This non-linear scaling, particularly the massive drop from 1440p to 4K, is a classic sign of a GPU that is running out of memory bandwidth and raw compute power. The CPU's performance is unaffected by resolution, so this steep decline can be attributed almost entirely to the GTX 1650. The data indicates that the GPU is the sole limiting component, and its performance ceiling is firmly at 1080p.
