Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a decisive performance class in Evolve, placing in the 83rd percentile of all tested CPU/GPU pairings. The data shows this combo ranks 294th out of 1695 tested configurations, placing it firmly in the top 18% of all systems. This pairing demonstrates exceptional headroom for high-refresh-rate displays, with the benchmark results indicating that the graphics card is the primary performance driver at higher resolutions while the processor provides ample support at lower settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data clearly indicates that the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, High settings deliver 177.1 FPS, which is 54.6 FPS higher than Ultra but still maintains visual fidelity. The gap between High and Ultra at 1080p is substantial — Ultra drops to 122.6 FPS, a 31% reduction — while the jump from Medium to High costs only 50.8 FPS. This suggests High is the sweet spot for competitive play.

For 1440p users, High settings produce 119.4 FPS, which remains comfortably above 60 FPS and approaches the refresh rate of many gaming monitors. The Medium preset at 150 FPS offers a viable alternative for those prioritizing frame rate over visual detail, but the 30.6 FPS difference between Medium and High is relatively modest. Ultra at 1440p drops to 81.5 FPS, which is playable but sacrifices the smoothness that the High preset provides.

At 4K, the High preset delivers 69.5 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 84.5 FPS provides additional headroom, but the visual quality difference may not justify the performance loss. Low settings at 4K produce 113 FPS, which is remarkable for this resolution, but the visual compromises are significant. The data indicates that High is the recommended preset for 4K, as it balances the 69.5 FPS result against the 47.2 FPS of Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 294th out of 1695 tested combinations, placing it in the top 17.3% of all systems tested for Evolve. This ranking reflects the synergy between the Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 4070 SUPER, which together provide a performance envelope that outperforms the vast majority of tested configurations. The percentile ranking of 83rd for the CPU and 84th for the GPU individually suggests that neither component is a bottleneck in this pairing.

The rank position indicates that this combo outperforms roughly 1400 other tested combinations. This is particularly notable given that the CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a 0.2% higher average score, and the Intel Core i9-12900HK with a 0.2% lower score. The GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 with a 0.2% higher score, meaning this combo sits in a performance tier that competes with workstation-class hardware.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz drive its 7168 shading units, which deliver 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance. The 224 texture units and 80 ROPs contribute to a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s.

The memory configuration is particularly relevant for Evolve's performance scaling. The 12 GB capacity proves sufficient even at 4K Ultra settings, where the GPU maintains 47.2 FPS. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth supports the 84.5 FPS result at 4K Medium, indicating that memory throughput is not a limiting factor. The GPU's 220 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU requirement are consistent with its performance class.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the performance drops from 177.1 FPS at 1080p to 119.4 FPS at 1440p (a 32.6% reduction), then to 69.5 FPS at 4K (a 60.8% reduction from 1080p). This scaling is consistent with the GPU becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases.

The Low settings show the most dramatic scaling: 292.7 FPS at 1080p drops to 195 FPS at 1440p (33.4% reduction) and 113 FPS at 4K (61.4% reduction). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the rendering pipeline is uniformly GPU-limited. The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest decline, falling from 122.6 FPS at 1080p to 81.5 FPS at 1440p and 47.2 FPS at 4K, with the 4K result representing a 61.5% reduction from 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the measured results span from 292.7 FPS at Low settings to 122.6 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset achieves 227.9 FPS, while High reaches 177.1 FPS. This represents a 58.1% performance difference between Low and Ultra, with each settings tier providing substantial FPS changes.

At 1440p, the range narrows: Low produces 195 FPS, Medium achieves 150 FPS, High reaches 119.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 81.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 58.2%, closely matching the 1080p scaling pattern. At 4K, the results compress further: Low delivers 113 FPS, Medium achieves 84.5 FPS, High reaches 69.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47.2 FPS. The 4K Low-to-Ultra spread is 58.2%, maintaining the consistent scaling pattern across all resolutions.

The data shows that each settings tier at each resolution provides meaningful performance differentiation, with the gaps between tiers remaining proportionally consistent. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, while the Low preset at 1080p is the only configuration exceeding 290 FPS. The measured FPS values indicate that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring the High preset or lower for optimal frame rates.
