Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers a strong, consistently playable experience in Evolve, placing in the 407th position out of 1695 tested combos. This upper-quartile ranking indicates the pairing is well-suited for the game’s demands, offering a balance of high frame rates and visual fidelity that should satisfy most players. The benchmark data confirms that this combo is neither severely bottlenecked nor overkill, but rather a harmonious match that scales predictably with resolution and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 407 out of 1695 places it in the top 24% of all tested systems for Evolve. This is a strong showing, suggesting that the combination of the Ryzen 5 5600GT and RTX 4070 is more than adequate for the game’s engine. The data shows this pairing sits comfortably ahead of the median, indicating that players can expect a high-performance experience without needing to compromise heavily on settings. Given that the GPU alone holds an 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU holds a 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs, the resulting combo rank is consistent with what one would expect from two above-average components working in tandem. The combined score suggests the system is well-balanced for this specific title, avoiding the pitfalls of a severely mismatched pairing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of frame rates in Evolve, and its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides ample bandwidth for the game’s textures and geometry. The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is a substantial resource, ensuring that high-resolution textures do not cause stuttering or frame drops. Operating at a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, the RTX 4070’s Ada Lovelace architecture shows its strength in this title. The data reveals a clear hierarchy in performance scaling with settings, which is a direct consequence of the GPU’s workload. For instance, at 1080p, the jump from Low to Ultra settings reduces the average frame rate from 264 FPS to 109.9 FPS, a drop of over 58%. This indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor when pushing the highest visual quality, even at lower resolutions. The GPU’s benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 26927, further underscore its capability, placing it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable and significant impact as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 159.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 109.8 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 61.4 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 61% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, a scaling pattern that is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. The pattern is even more pronounced at Low settings, where the average frame rate falls from 264 FPS at 1080p to 99 FPS at 4K, a 62.5% decrease. This consistent proportional drop indicates that the RTX 4070’s rendering pipeline is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The 4K High setting result of 61.4 FPS is particularly telling, as it shows the system is still capable of delivering a smooth experience at the highest common resolution, though it is nearing the limit of what the GPU can handle without sacrificing visual quality. The data strongly suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this game, as the frame rate scales almost entirely with the GPU’s workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide a comprehensive look at performance across all common resolutions and settings.

At 1920x1080, the combo is exceptionally fast. Low settings produce an average of 264 FPS, while Medium settings yield 205.6 FPS. High settings still deliver a very high 159.2 FPS, and even Ultra settings maintain a smooth 109.9 FPS. This makes 1080p gaming effortless for this pairing, with headroom for high refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings achieve 174.6 FPS, and Medium settings follow at 138.8 FPS. High settings are still very playable at 109.8 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 72.7 FPS. The 1440p results show a clear step down from 1080p, but the system remains fully capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at this resolution with most settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limits become more apparent. Low settings produce 99 FPS, and Medium settings deliver 76.6 FPS. High settings average 61.4 FPS, which is still playable, but Ultra settings fall to 44.9 FPS, which may feel less smooth for some players. This resolution is where the RTX 4070 starts to struggle with the highest quality presets, but it still offers a very usable experience at Medium or High settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, plays a supporting role that is largely sufficient for Evolve. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide solid single-threaded performance, which is often critical for game logic and physics. The CPU’s benchmark results, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438, demonstrate that it is a capable processor. The data indicates that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck, as the frame rate scaling between resolutions is almost entirely attributable to the GPU. For example, the 1080p Low setting result of 264 FPS is likely near the CPU’s maximum throughput for the game’s simulation thread, but it is still high enough to not hinder the overall experience. The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are adequate for feeding the GPU with data. While a more powerful CPU might push frame rates slightly higher at 1080p Low settings, the practical difference is minimal, as the system is already delivering exceptionally high performance. The Ryzen 5 5600GT is clearly a well-matched partner for the RTX 4070 in this title, ensuring that the GPU’s capabilities are fully utilized without being held back.
