# Evolve with AMD Ryzen 5 7400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Evolve, with the data showing a clear GPU-bound pattern as resolution climbs. At 1080p High, the combo produces 188 FPS, which rises to 208 FPS at 1440p Low and 310 FPS at 1080p Low. These numbers indicate that the CPU has ample headroom, while the GPU becomes the limiting factor primarily at 4K Ultra, where the average drops to 50 FPS. The combo ranks 417th out of 3,700 tested combinations in this game, placing it in the top 11.3% of all tested systems.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable scaling curve across the three tested resolutions. At 1080p, the combo delivers 310 FPS on Low settings, 240 FPS on Medium, 188 FPS on High, and 130 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, those numbers become 208 FPS on Low, 161 FPS on Medium, 126 FPS on High, and 87 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the averages settle at 118 FPS on Low, 92 FPS on Medium, 72 FPS on High, and 50 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a performance drop of approximately 33% on Low settings (from 310 to 208 FPS), 33% on Medium (240 to 161 FPS), 33% on High (188 to 126 FPS), and 33% on Ultra (130 to 87 FPS). This uniform reduction across all presets suggests that the GPU is the primary driver of performance even at lower resolutions, with the CPU not introducing a bottleneck at any point.

When moving from 1440p to 4K, the drops become more pronounced: Low falls from 208 to 118 FPS (a 43% reduction), Medium from 161 to 92 FPS (43%), High from 126 to 72 FPS (43%), and Ultra from 87 to 50 FPS (43%). The consistency of these percentage drops across all four settings indicates that the scaling is purely resolution-driven, with no unexpected CPU or memory constraints appearing at higher pixel counts.

The minimum FPS data available only for Medium settings further illustrates this pattern. At 1080p Medium, the combo maintains a minimum of 204 FPS with a maximum of 276 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the minimum falls to 137 FPS with a maximum of 185 FPS. At 4K Medium, the minimum drops to 78 FPS with a maximum of 105 FPS. These minimums are all well above playable thresholds, showing that frame pacing remains stable even as resolution increases.

The data suggests that the limiting component shifts from CPU at 1080p to GPU at 4K. At 1080p Low, the 310 FPS result indicates the CPU can feed frames faster than most displays can show, while the 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS shows the GPU struggling with the highest pixel count and settings combination. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth appears sufficient for all tested configurations, as no memory-related stutters are evident in the minimum FPS data.

Given that the combo ranks 417th out of 3,700, and both components sit near the 80th percentile in their respective categories, the in-game ranking aligns well with what the synthetic benchmarks predict. The gap between the CPU's 83rd percentile and GPU's 76th percentile suggests that the GPU is the more limiting factor in Evolve, which is consistent with the resolution scaling analysis showing GPU-bound behavior at higher settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. At 1080p, all settings deliver playable framerates, with Ultra producing 130 FPS and High at 188 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs 58 FPS (a 31% reduction), which may not be justified by the visual improvements in Evolve. The Medium preset at 240 FPS offers a massive headroom for high-refresh-rate displays, while Low at 310 FPS is only useful for competitive play where every frame matters.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 126 FPS, which is excellent for most gaming monitors. The Ultra preset drops to 87 FPS, which is still smooth but represents a 31% performance hit from High. Medium at 161 FPS provides the best balance for players with 144Hz or 165Hz displays, as the minimum FPS of 137 on Medium stays above the typical refresh rate threshold. Low at 208 FPS is overkill for most 1440p monitors but demonstrates the combo's capability.

At 4K, the recommendations change dramatically. High settings produce 72 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced FPS action. Medium at 92 FPS is the sweet spot for 4K gaming, with a minimum of 78 FPS ensuring consistent frame delivery. Ultra drops to 50 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most players consider acceptable for smooth gameplay. Low at 118 FPS is surprisingly capable at 4K, making it a viable option for players who prioritize framerate over visual fidelity.

For the best overall experience, the data supports using Medium settings at 4K (92 FPS), High at 1440p (126 FPS), and High at 1080p (188 FPS). The Ultra preset at any resolution represents diminishing returns, with the 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS being particularly problematic for a game like Evolve where quick reactions matter.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER plays the dominant role in determining Evolve's performance, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory operating on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the texture and geometry demands of this 2015 FPS title. The memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) ensures that data transfer is not a limiting factor in any of the tested configurations.

The GPU's base clock of 2340 MHz and boost clock of 2610 MHz translate to a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s. These specifications explain why the combo can achieve 310 FPS at 1080p Low: the GPU has massive raw throughput that remains underutilized at lower resolutions. The 8,448 shading units and 264 texture mapping units provide the computational horsepower needed for Evolve's effects, while the 96 ROPs handle the final pixel output.

At 4K Ultra, the GPU's limits become apparent. The 50 FPS average at this setting suggests that the combination of 8.3 million pixels and maximum quality settings overwhelms the GPU's capabilities. The 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 performance is substantial, but Evolve's Ultra preset appears to include effects that are particularly demanding on the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's architecture. The GPU's 76th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 31,087, is consistent with this observed behavior.

The GPU's memory capacity of 16 GB is noteworthy for a game from 2015, as it provides significant headroom for high-resolution textures. The measured FPS data shows no evidence of memory capacity being exceeded, as minimum FPS values remain stable even at 4K Medium (78 FPS minimum). The 256-bit memory bus, while narrower than some high-end cards, delivers sufficient bandwidth to avoid bottlenecks, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 1080p to 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F serves as a capable pairing for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in Evolve, with its 6 cores and 12 threads proving sufficient for this game's workload. The CPU's base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz, combined with 32 MB of shared L3 cache, provide the single-threaded performance that Evolve requires. The 5 nm Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, delivers strong per-core performance that prevents CPU bottlenecks at lower resolutions.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark results paint a picture of a well-rounded processor. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21,765 in multi-core and 3,072 in single-core. The Passmark multi-thread score of 25,645 and single-thread score of 3,689 indicate balanced performance across different workload types. The data compression score of 289,999 and floating-point math score of 45,799 show strong computational capability, though these are more relevant to productivity than gaming.

In Evolve, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 310 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the CPU can handle high frame rates without becoming a limiting factor. The 6 cores and 12 threads are more than adequate for Evolve, which was designed in 2015 and does not heavily utilize multi-threading. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking, with an average benchmark score of 32,750, places it alongside the Intel Core i5-14600T and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, all within 0.3% of each other.

The CPU's memory support for DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures that memory latency does not become a bottleneck. The L3 cache size of 32 MB is generous for a gaming CPU, helping to keep frequently accessed data close to the cores. The 65 W TDP and 5 nm process node indicate efficient operation, though these factors do not directly impact gaming performance. The CPU's release date of 2025-01-08 makes it a modern component, and its high boost clock of 4.70 GHz ensures responsive gameplay even in CPU-intensive scenarios.
