Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB combination delivers a robust 1080p experience in Evolve, with performance scaling predictably into 1440p, while 4K Ultra remains the only setting that pushes the GPU past comfortable playability. The data shows a clear hierarchy where the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 974) pairs well with the GPU’s capabilities, but the 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors at higher resolutions and quality presets.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: The combination achieves an average of 92.3 FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, which is identical to the 1440p High preset result.

Q: How much faster is the Low preset compared to Ultra at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 148.6 FPS average, which is 148.7% higher than the Ultra preset’s 59.8 FPS average.

Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM cause any measurable issue at 4K?

A: The data indicates a steep drop-off at 3840x2160 Ultra, where the average FPS falls to 38.1, suggesting the 8 GB VRAM and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle with the combined resolution and texture load.

Q: What is the best preset for 60+ FPS at 4K?

A: It ranks 703rd out of 1695 tested combinations, placing it in the 58.5th percentile of all combos tested in this game.

Q: What is the FPS difference between 1080p Low and 4K Low?

A: The 1080p Low preset averages 224 FPS, while 4K Low drops to 84.2 FPS, representing a 62.4% reduction in average framerate.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is the primary driver of Evolve’s visual output, with its 2310 MHz base clock and 2535 MHz boost clock providing the computational foundation. The GPU’s 4352 shading units and 136 texture mapping units process the game’s effects, while 48 ROPs handle pixel output at a rate of 121.7 GPixel/s. The 8 GB GDDR6 memory operates at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) across a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth — sufficient for 1080p and most 1440p scenarios but strained at 4K Ultra.

The data reveals the GPU’s role shifts with resolution. At 1080p Low, the system produces 224 FPS average, showing the GPU is not the bottleneck; the CPU’s 3.70 GHz base clock and 5.00 GHz boost clock likely keep up with frame generation. However, at 4K Ultra, the average drops to 38.1 FPS, a 83.0% reduction from the 1080p Low result. This pattern indicates the GPU’s memory subsystem and compute throughput become the limiting factor as pixel count and texture detail increase.

The RTX 4060 Ti’s 22.06 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is substantial, but Evolve’s demands at 4K Ultra exceed what the 8 GB VRAM can efficiently handle. The GPU’s 17th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database (avgBenchmarkScore of 2913) suggests it sits in a mid-range position, yet its nearest rivals include the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB (0.2% higher score) and GTX 860M (1.5% lower), indicating the 8 GB variant performs nearly identically to its 16 GB sibling in synthetic tests — but the measured FPS data shows VRAM capacity matters more in real gameplay at high resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K follows a consistent pattern across all settings, but the magnitude of the drop varies dramatically. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 224 at 1080p to 148.6 at 1440p (a 33.7% decrease), then to 84.2 at 4K (a 43.3% further decrease). This progressive decline indicates the GPU becomes increasingly bottlenecked as resolution rises, even at minimal quality settings.

For High settings, the scaling is steeper: 132 FPS at 1080p, 92.3 at 1440p (30.1% drop), and 50.2 at 4K (45.6% drop). The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling: 92.3 FPS at 1080p, 59.8 at 1440p (35.2% drop), and 38.1 at 4K (36.3% drop). The consistent ~30-35% drop from 1080p to 1440p across settings suggests a balanced load shift, while the larger drops to 4K indicate the GPU’s memory bandwidth (288.0 GB/s) and 8 GB capacity are the limiting components.

The resolution scaling data reveals the CPU is not the primary constraint in this pairing. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 224 FPS, which would require the CPU to handle frame generation at a very high rate — the Ryzen 5 7500F’s 3dmark_single_thread score of 974 and passmark_single_thread score of 3841 suggest it can sustain this. However, at 4K, the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth cap performance, as evidenced by the 38.1 FPS Ultra result — a 63.9% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result of 92.3 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB delivers playable framerates across all presets. The Low preset averages 224 FPS, providing headroom for high refresh rate monitors. Medium averages 173.4 FPS, High averages 132 FPS, and Ultra averages 92.3 FPS — all well above the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows a 58.8% drop from Low to Ultra, indicating that Evolve’s Ultra settings impose a significant load on the GPU even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but the gaps widen. Low averages 148.6 FPS, Medium 114.2 FPS, and High 92.3 FPS. Ultra drops to 59.8 FPS, which is still playable but close to the 60 FPS boundary. The 1440p results show a 59.8% reduction from Low to Ultra, similar to 1080p, suggesting the GPU handles the resolution increase without disproportionate penalties until Ultra settings are enabled.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limitations become apparent. Low averages 84.2 FPS, Medium 67.2 FPS, and High 50.2 FPS. Ultra drops to 38.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playability standard. The 4K data shows a 54.8% drop from Low to Ultra, and critically, the gap between 1440p Ultra (59.8 FPS) and 4K High (50.2 FPS) is only 16.0%, indicating that resolution affects performance more than preset changes at this level.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 703rd out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it just above the median of all configurations. This ranking reflects the pairing’s balanced but not exceptional performance. The CPU’s 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs (avgBenchmarkScore of 24993) suggests strong processing capability, while the GPU’s 17th percentile ranking (avgBenchmarkScore of 2913) indicates it lags behind most modern GPUs in synthetic benchmarks.

The CPU’s nearest rivals show a tight cluster: the Intel Core i7-11850H sits 0.1% higher, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X is 0.3% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is 0.3% lower. This indicates the Ryzen 5 7500F delivers performance consistent with its price segment, though the data does not include pricing analysis. The GPU’s nearest rivals show a similar pattern: the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB is 0.2% higher, the GT 555M is exactly equal, and the GTX 860M is 1.5% lower — but these are synthetic benchmark comparisons, not Evolve-specific results.

The combo’s 703rd rank out of 1695 combos means it outperforms 58.5% of all tested configurations in Evolve. This mid-pack ranking is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows strong 1080p and 1440p performance but 4K Ultra results that fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The ranking suggests that while the CPU provides solid foundation, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus limit the combo’s upper ceiling in this game, particularly at higher resolutions where texture memory demands exceed what the card can efficiently provide.
