The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a -0.1% difference. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, a 0.4% difference. The AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, a -0.5% difference. This clustering indicates the B570 sits in a tight performance band. In Evolve, this rank suggests that while the hardware is competent for many tasks, it does not deliver top-tier frame rates in this specific game, especially when compared to higher-ranked combos that likely feature more powerful GPUs or CPUs better suited to the game’s engine.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture with the BMG-G21 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2500 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz, effectively 19 Gbps. The 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. These specifications yield a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance at 11.52 TFLOPS.

In Evolve, the GPU’s role is critical at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that at 3840x2160, the average frame rate drops from 52 FPS at Low settings to 32 FPS at High and just 22 FPS at Ultra. This steep decline with increasing graphical fidelity indicates that the B570’s compute resources are saturated by the game’s rendering demands at 4K. The 10 GB VRAM is likely sufficient, as the game does not appear to exceed it even at Ultra, but the GPU’s raw throughput cannot maintain high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the GPU performs better, with an average of 92 FPS at Low and 56 FPS at High. At 1920x1080, the B570 shows its strength, delivering 137 FPS at Low and 83 FPS at High. The GPU’s benchmark scores support this behavior. In 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12, the B570 scores 2649. In geekbench_opencl, it scores 83514, and in geekbench_vulkan, it scores 96844. The passmark_directx_11 score is 118, while directx_12 scores 72. These figures suggest the GPU is more efficient in Vulkan and OpenCL workloads than in some DirectX scenarios, which may influence Evolve’s performance depending on the API used.

The GPU’s 150 W TDP and dual-slot design with a single 8-pin power connector, along with a suggested 450 W PSU, indicate it is a mid-range card. Its PCIe 4.0 x8 interface is adequate for the B570’s bandwidth needs. The GPU’s percentile rank of 65 among all GPUs, combined with its average benchmark score of 20556, positions it slightly above the median, but in Evolve, the measured FPS shows that higher settings quickly become unplayable at 4K, reinforcing that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at high resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 + Intel Arc B570 in Evolve is presented across three resolutions and four settings levels, providing a comprehensive view of performance.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 137 FPS at Low settings. This is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo. At Medium settings, the average drops to 106 FPS, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS. High settings yield an average of 83 FPS. Ultra settings produce an average of 58 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p gaming is viable across all settings, with even Ultra maintaining above 60 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 79 FPS, showing a significant impact from graphical settings.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down. Low settings achieve an average of 92 FPS, which is a 45 FPS drop from 1080p Low. Medium settings average 71 FPS, with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 82. High settings average 56 FPS. Ultra settings average 39 FPS. At this resolution, Medium settings remain playable, but Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating the GPU is beginning to struggle with the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the combo’s limitations become apparent. Low settings average 52 FPS, which is just above the playable threshold but not smooth. Medium settings average 40 FPS, with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 47. High settings average 32 FPS. Ultra settings average 22 FPS. None of these averages reach 60 FPS, making 4K gaming impractical for this combo in Evolve. The data shows that even at Low settings, the 4K resolution demands more from the GPU than the B570 can deliver, with a 52 FPS average being the best case scenario.

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K at each setting level is consistent. For Low settings, the drop from 137 FPS to 92 FPS to 52 FPS represents a 38% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 62% reduction from 1080p to 4K. For Medium settings, the drop from 106 FPS to 71 FPS to 40 FPS shows a 33% reduction to 1440p and a 62% reduction to 4K. For High settings, the drop from 83 FPS to 56 FPS to 32 FPS is a 33% reduction to 1440p and a 61% reduction to 4K. For Ultra settings, the drop from 58 FPS to 39 FPS to 22 FPS is a 33% reduction to 1440p and a 62% reduction to 4K. This near-consistent scaling pattern indicates that the GPU’s workload scales predictably with resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior of this combo in Evolve reveals a clear pattern. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops by approximately 33% across all settings. From 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the average FPS drops by an additional 44% to 45%. The overall drop from 1080p to 4K is around 62%, regardless of the settings preset.

This consistent scaling suggests that the limiting component in this combo is the GPU. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600, has 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. Its benchmark scores, such as a multicore score of 12735 in cinebench_r23 and a single-core score of 1852, indicate strong processing power. The CPU’s passmark_multithread score of 27058 and passmark_single_thread score of 3910 further confirm its capability. At 1080p, the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to reach 137 FPS at Low settings, suggesting the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions.

However, as resolution increases, the GPU’s workload expands, and the frame rates drop proportionally. The fact that the percentage drop is nearly identical across all settings points to a GPU that is fully utilized at each resolution. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a larger drop at 1080p where the GPU has less work, but the data shows the opposite. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 137 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s limit for this game, but as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

The 4K results, with averages ranging from 22 FPS at Ultra to 52 FPS at Low, clearly indicate that the Intel Arc B570 does not have enough compute power for this game at 4K. The GPU’s 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient for Evolve’s demands at that resolution. The 10 GB VRAM is not the issue, as the game does not appear to exceed it, but the shading and texturing capabilities are stretched thin. This combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it delivers high frame rates even at Ultra, and can manage 1440p at Medium to High settings for a playable experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. It has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU is manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die.

In Evolve, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI, while the GPU renders the frames. The CPU’s benchmark scores show it is a capable processor for gaming. In 3dmark tests, it scores 6499 in 16 threads, 1938 in 2 threads, 3686 in 4 threads, 5508 in 8 threads, and 6503 in max threads. The single-thread score is 999. In cinebench_r23, the multicore score is 12735 and the single-core score is 1852. In geekbench, the multicore score is 13413 and the single-core score is 2521. The passmark tests show a multithread score of 27058 and a single-thread score of 3910.

These scores place the Ryzen 5 7600 in the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26324. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, which scores 26274, and the Intel Core i9-11900KF, which scores 26212. The CPU’s performance is within 0.5% of these rivals, meaning it is competitive with high-end mobile and older desktop processors.

In the context of Evolve, the CPU’s impact on frame rates is most evident at 1080p. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 137 FPS, which is a high frame rate that suggests the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output. At 1080p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 58 FPS, but this is due to the GPU’s workload, not the CPU. The CPU’s 12 threads and high boost clock of 5.10 GHz are sufficient for this game, which likely does not heavily utilize more than a few cores. The passmark_data_compression score of 304942 and passmark_data_encryption score of 17704 indicate strong general-purpose performance, but gaming-specific workloads are better reflected in the 3dmark and cinebench scores.

The CPU’s 32 MB of L3 cache is shared across all cores, which helps with data locality in games. The 5 nm process and 65 W TDP mean it runs efficiently, reducing the risk of thermal throttling that could impact frame rates. The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s is adequate for the GPU’s needs, though the GPU’s own 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is much higher, meaning the CPU is not the limiting factor for data transfer.

At 1440p and 4K, the CPU’s role diminishes. The frame rates at these resolutions are primarily determined by the GPU, as shown by the consistent scaling patterns. The CPU’s performance is more than enough to avoid becoming a bottleneck, as evidenced by the 92 FPS at 1440p Low, which is still a high frame rate. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 7600 provides a solid foundation for this combo, but the Intel Arc B570 is the component that dictates the overall gaming experience in Evolve. For users seeking higher frame rates at 4K, a more powerful GPU would be necessary, while the CPU would not need to be upgraded for this game.
