Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a solid 1080p experience in Evolve, with performance scaling predictably across resolution and quality presets. The measured data shows this combination is best suited for high-refresh-rate play at 1920x1080, where it maintains comfortable frame rates even at the highest settings, while 4K Ultra remains demanding.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data across all resolutions indicates that the High preset offers the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance for this combo. At 1920x1080, High delivers an average of 110.1 FPS, which is only 29.1% lower than the Low preset’s 179 FPS but provides substantially better image quality. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 72.8 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 33.9% reduction from High, making it a less attractive option for competitive play.

At 2560x1440, the High preset maintains a strong 71 FPS average, while Medium achieves 89.9 FPS. The data shows that Low at 1440p reaches 120.8 FPS, but the visual compromise is significant for only a 41.2% gain over High. For players prioritizing frame rate over fidelity, Medium at 1440p is the recommended choice, as it stays above 60 FPS while retaining more visual detail than Low.

The 3840x2160 results show this combo is not ideal for 4K gaming. The High preset averages 42.2 FPS, which dips below the 60 FPS threshold many consider minimum for smooth gameplay. Medium at 4K hits exactly 50 FPS, while Low reaches 70.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the worst performer at 28.1 FPS, making it effectively unplayable. For 4K usage, the Low preset is the only option that approaches acceptable smoothness, but even then, the visual quality reduction is substantial.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This Zen 3 architecture processor, built on TSMC’s 7 nm process, provides strong single-thread performance that is relevant for Evolve’s gameplay. The benchmark data shows a single-thread score of 913 in 3dmark and 2438 in Cinebench R23 single-core, indicating the CPU can handle the game’s primary simulation thread efficiently.

The processor’s multi-threaded capabilities are also substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17272 and a 3dmark max-threads score of 5554. While Evolve is primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, the CPU’s 12 threads ensure that background tasks and game logic do not create bottlenecks. The 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for the game’s asset streaming.

The 5600GT’s percentile ranking of 78 among all CPUs places it in the upper quartile of processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, has an average score of 20746, which is virtually identical to the 5600GT’s 20740 average, resulting in a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X trails slightly at 20680 with a deltaPct of 0.3, while the Intel Core i5-12490F leads by 0.3% at 20794. These close margins indicate the CPU is well-matched to its peers, providing consistent performance without being a limiting factor in Evolve.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a 12 nm process and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock of 1605 MHz and boost clock of 1770 MHz, combined with 2560 shading units, provide substantial rasterization power for Evolve. The measured benchmark scores include a Passmark G3D score of 18169 and a 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Evolve’s textures at all tested presets, as evidenced by the consistent performance scaling across settings. The GPU’s 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs handle pixel and texture throughput effectively, with a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s. The 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but not heavily utilized in this non-ray-traced title, meaning the GPU’s traditional rasterization performance is the primary driver of results.

The RTX 2070 SUPER’s percentile ranking of 65 among all GPUs places it in the upper-middle tier. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307, which is 0.5% higher than the 2070 SUPER’s 22206 average. The GeForce GTX TITAN Z trails by 0.9% at 22006, while the RTX 4060 Mobile leads by 2.3% at 22729. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 sits 2.5% behind at 21670. These margins show the GPU is competitively positioned, though not at the top of its class.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1054 out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the 62nd percentile of system configurations. This ranking reflects a mid-tier position, meaning there are 641 combos that perform better, but also 641 that perform worse. The ranking is driven primarily by the GPU’s performance, as the CPU’s strong benchmark scores are sufficient for the game’s requirements.

The measured FPS data demonstrates that this combo excels at 1080p, where it maintains over 100 FPS on High settings and approaches 180 FPS on Low. At 1440p, the combo remains capable, with High settings delivering 71 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. The 4K results are less impressive, with only the Low preset achieving playable frame rates. This ranking and performance profile suggest the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver a smooth experience without requiring significant settings compromises.

Compared to other combos in the database, the 62nd percentile ranking indicates that while this system is not a top-tier performer, it is far from the bottom. The gap between the 1080p High result of 110.1 FPS and the 4K Ultra result of 28.1 FPS highlights the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions, but within its optimal resolution range, the combo delivers solid results.
