Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX delivers a measured performance profile in Evolve that places this combination at rank 237 out of 1695 tested combos. The data set includes average FPS at three resolutions and four quality presets, all measured rather than estimated. This analysis walks through the CPU and GPU contributions, resolution scaling, and preset recommendations based solely on the recorded numbers.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from AMD's 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) using a 5 nm process. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz and boost clock reaches 5.10 GHz. The CPU has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. These specifications position it as a modern desktop part, though Evolve is a 2015 FPS title that likely does not exploit many threads. The CPU's single-thread performance is indicated by a 3dmark single-thread score of 999 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3246. Multi-thread scores include a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 22992 and a Passmark multithread score of 27058.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 26617, placing it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, based on average score, are the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (26574, delta 0.2%), Intel Core i9-12900HK (26672, delta -0.2%), AMD EPYC 8024P (26555, delta 0.2%), and Intel Core i9-11900K (26546, delta 0.3%). These deltas are all within 0.3%, meaning the 7600 is effectively on par with those processors in aggregate benchmarks. In Evolve, the CPU's ability to drive high frame rates is evident from the 1080p Low result of 302.1 FPS, the highest measured in the entire data set. The boost clock of 5.10 GHz and the Zen 4 architecture likely contribute to strong single-thread responsiveness, which matters for a game that may rely on a few primary threads. The CPU's launch MSRP is $229.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a high-end GPU from the Radeon RX 7000 series, based on the Navi 31 chip and RDNA 3.0 architecture. It features 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1929 MHz, boost clock is 2498 MHz, and game clock is 2365 MHz. Memory runs at 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective). The GPU has 6144 shading units, 384 TMUs, 192 ROPs, and 96 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 479.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 959.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance of 61.39 TFLOPS. The TDP is 355 W, and the card requires a 750 W suggested PSU.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 44019, placing it in the 85th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (44195, delta -0.4%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667, delta 0.8%), NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43313, delta 1.6%), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (44900, delta -2%). These deltas range from -2% to 1.6%, indicating the 7900 XTX is closely matched with those cards in aggregate performance. In Evolve, the GPU's high memory capacity and bandwidth are far beyond what a 2015 title requires, so VRAM is not a limiting factor. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 51.6, which is below 60, suggesting the GPU is the primary constraint at that preset. At 1080p Low, the GPU is not stressed, achieving 302.1 FPS. The GPU's launch MSRP is 999 USD.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS values show a consistent pattern across all quality presets as resolution increases. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 185.8 at 1080p to 126.8 at 1440p to 69.4 at 4K. For Low settings, the progression is 302.1, 205.1, and 114.3. Medium settings yield 237.5, 157.7, and 88.6. Ultra settings produce 128.8, 86.5, and 51.6. In every case, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, and the drop from 1440p to 4K is even larger. For example, at High, the 4K average is less than half of the 1080p average (69.4 vs 185.8). This scaling behavior is typical of a GPU-bound scenario: as resolution increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the limiting factor. The fact that the relative drops are similar across all presets—from Low to Ultra—indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck at any resolution. Even at 1080p Low, where the CPU could theoretically be a constraint, the FPS reaches 302.1, which is far above typical display refresh rates. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant limiter, especially at Ultra where the FPS falls to 51.6.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the data set.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 69.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 114.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 88.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 51.6 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 126.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 205.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 157.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 86.5 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 185.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 302.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 237.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 128.8 |

At 1080p, all presets exceed 120 FPS, with Ultra still delivering 128.8 FPS. This means the CPU-GPU combination is more than capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at this resolution. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 86.5 FPS, which remains above 60, while High and Medium are even higher. At 4K, only Low (114.3) and Medium (88.6) stay comfortably above 60; High is 69.4, which is still above 60 but closer to the threshold, and Ultra falls to 51.6, below 60. The data shows that the system can handle 4K with reduced settings, but Ultra is not playable at a 60 FPS target.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p, all presets are above 120 FPS, so Ultra is the clear choice for maximum visual quality without sacrificing performance. For 1440p, Ultra still delivers 86.5 FPS, which is above 60, so Ultra remains the best option. For 4K, the situation is more nuanced. Low and Medium both exceed 60 FPS (114.3 and 88.6 respectively), while High is 69.4—still above 60 but with less headroom. Ultra is the only preset that falls below 60, at 51.6. Therefore, for a 4K display, High is the highest preset that maintains a 60+ FPS average, making it the recommended choice for players who prioritize visual fidelity while keeping a playable frame rate. If a more comfortable margin is desired, Medium offers 88.6 FPS and is also a strong option. The data does not include minimum FPS values, so these recommendations are based solely on average FPS.
