Evolve

Evolve, an FPS released on 2015-02-09, is measured with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB. The dataset reports only average FPS values, with no minimum or maximum frame rates. Across the measured resolutions, the combo is strong at 1080p, usable at 1440p on Low, and below 60 FPS at every 4K setting. The CPU sits at the 78th percentile of all CPUs, but the GPU’s 50th-percentile standing and 4 GB memory size determine how this game scales.

Resolution Scaling

Average FPS falls in a regular pattern as resolution moves from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the values are 115.3, 75.9, and 40.6. At Medium, they are 91, 58.8, and 31.5. At High, they are 72.2, 44.4, and 28.2. At Ultra, they are 50.5, 31.3, and 17.2.

No 4K measurement reaches 60 FPS. The highest 4K result is Low at 40.6, while the lowest is Ultra at 17.2. At 1440p, only Low clears 60 FPS with 75.9; Medium lands at 58.8, High at 44.4, and Ultra at 31.3. At 1080p, Low reaches 115.3, Medium 91, and High 72.2, while Ultra drops to 50.5.

This pattern points to the GPU as the limiting component. The CPU alone can feed 115.3 FPS at 1080p Low, so the frame-rate collapse at higher resolutions is not caused by the processor. Instead, the 4 GB graphics card loses ground as pixel count rises. The drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low is roughly from 115.3 to 40.6, and the Ultra setting tightens the gap even more at 4K, where the card averages 17.2 FPS.

The resolution scaling also shows that settings matter at every resolution. At 1080p, changing from Ultra to Low raises the average from 50.5 to 115.3. At 1440p, the same change raises from 31.3 to 75.9. At 4K, Low still only produces 40.6 FPS. That makes sense for a GPU-bound result: lowering settings helps, but the pixel load at 4K is too heavy for the 4 GB card to produce a smooth frame rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB is an Ampere-generation GPU using the GA107 chip on Samsung’s 8 nm process. The card contains 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die. It has 2048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores. The base clock is 1545 MHz, and the boost clock is 1740 MHz. FP32 compute is rated at 7.127 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 55.68 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 111.4 GTexel/s.

Memory is 4 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1500 MHz and 12 Gbps effective speed. Memory bandwidth is 192.0 GB/s. These are moderate numbers for a desktop GPU, and the card sits at the 50th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

In Evolve, the GPU’s memory capacity is the most visible constraint. At 4K Ultra, the average is 17.2 FPS. 4K High produces 28.2, 4K Medium 31.5, and 4K Low 40.6. None of those results cross 60 FPS. At 1440p, Low reaches 75.9, but Medium stays at 58.8, High at 44.4, and Ultra at 31.3. At 1080p, Ultra is still only 50.5 FPS, while Low reaches 115.3. The 4 GB memory size and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth leave little headroom for high-resolution textures and detail levels.

The measured pattern fits the GPU’s mid-pack position. The card is fast enough for 1080p and for 1440p on lower settings, but the higher the resolution and settings, the more the 4 GB frame buffer becomes the deciding factor.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture with the codename Vermeer. It fits AMD Socket AM4, uses a 7 nm process from TSMC, and has a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. TDP is 65 W. The cache layout includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB L3. Memory support is DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

Synthetic data shows a strong processor. The 5600X has an average benchmark score of 20680 and sits at the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Single-thread scores include 917 in 3DMark single-thread, 2622 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 3364 in Passmark single-thread. Multi-thread results include 18578 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 21858 in Passmark multithread.

The nearest CPU rivals are tightly grouped. The Ryzen 5 5600GT scores 20740, the Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20746, the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20794, and the Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20538. The deltaPct values are -0.3, -0.3, -0.5, and 0.7 respectively, which places the 5600X in a narrow performance band around those chips.

In game data, the CPU’s strength is visible at low resolution and low settings. The combo produces 115.3 FPS at 1080p Low, the highest measured result in the set. At 1080p Ultra, the same CPU/GPU pair falls to 50.5 FPS. Since only the graphics settings changed, the GPU is the bottleneck in that comparison. The 5600X has enough single-thread performance to drive Evolve beyond what the RTX 3050 4 GB can deliver at high settings.

FAQ

Q: What average FPS does this combo deliver at 1080p on High settings?

A: 72.2 FPS. Low averages 115.3, Medium 91, and Ultra 50.5.

Q: Can this combination maintain 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: Only on Low, where the average is 75.9 FPS. Medium averages 58.8, High 44.4, and Ultra 31.3.

Q: How well does the 4 GB GPU run Evolve at 4K?

A: The highest 4K average is Low at 40.6 FPS. Medium is 31.5, High 28.2, and Ultra 17.2. No 4K setting reaches 60 FPS.

Q: Why does the combo rank lower than the CPU alone might suggest?

A: The CPU is at the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 50th percentile. The combo ranks 1529 out of 1695 tested configurations, which indicates the GPU’s 4 GB memory size and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth restrict the measured game performance.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5600X compare to its nearest CPU rivals?

A: The 5600X has an average benchmark score of 20680. The nearest rivals are the Ryzen 5 5600GT at 20740, Intel Core i7-10700 at 20746, Intel Core i5-12490F at 20794, and Intel Xeon 6325P at 20538, with deltaPct values of -0.3, -0.3, -0.5, and 0.7.

Q: What is the best measured result in the data set?

A: 1080p Low, with an average of 115.3 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1529 out of 1695 tested combinations in Evolve. That is a low placement, putting this pairing in the lower portion of the tested field. The CPU alone is well above average, with a 78th-percentile standing among all CPUs, but the GPU sits at exactly the 50th percentile. The measured game performance follows the GPU’s position rather than the CPU’s.

The rank disparity makes sense from the FPS data. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 115.3 FPS. At 4K Ultra, it falls to 17.2. This is not a CPU-limited setup; the 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 5600X has enough performance to feed high frame rates. The 4 GB graphics card is the part that holds the combo back at higher resolutions and settings.

The result is a configuration that performs best where the GPU load is light. The CPU’s strong synthetic scores and 78th-percentile ranking do not translate into a high rank in this game because Evolve’s measured frame rates are tied to the GPU’s 50th-percentile position. Raising the combo’s rank in this game would require a stronger graphics solution, not a stronger processor.
