Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER produces a performance profile in Evolve that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphical settings. The dataset indicates a system capable of extremely high frame rates at 1080p, with a predictable and steep decline as resolution scales to 4K, highlighting the increasing burden on the GPU. This combination ranks in the 94th percentile of all tested configurations for this title, placing it among the top 100 of 1,695 combos.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic scaling curve where the RTX 4080 SUPER remains the dominant performance factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's capability becomes more apparent at lower ones. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 336.2 FPS. This figure is exceptionally high and suggests that the game engine is heavily CPU-bound at this point, as the frame rate is likely limited by the Ryzen 5 7600X's ability to feed the GPU with draw calls rather than the GPU's rendering capacity.

Moving to 1440p, the average FPS at Low settings drops to 227.0, a reduction of 109.2 FPS or roughly 32.5% from the 1080p result. This is a substantial drop that indicates the GPU is now becoming a more significant constraint, though the system still delivers a very high refresh-rate experience. At 4K with Low settings, the average falls further to 126.6 FPS. This represents a 62.3% decrease from the 1080p Low figure, demonstrating the massive increase in pixel throughput required at 4K, which firmly places the rendering load on the RTX 4080 SUPER.

The scaling pattern across settings at each resolution confirms this analysis. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra settings is 194.6 FPS (336.2 vs. 141.6), showing a wide performance envelope. However, at 4K, this gap narrows significantly to 71.1 FPS (126.6 vs. 55.5). This narrowing is a clear indicator that at 4K, the GPU's raw pixel-pushing capabilities are the limiting factor, regardless of the complexity of the scene. The data shows a system that is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming, but at 4K, the Ultra preset proves to be a demanding workload, pushing the average down to 55.5 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested hardware combinations for Evolve, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER configuration holds a rank of 98 out of 1,695. This position places it in the 94.2nd percentile of all combos, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of systems tested for this game. The data shows this is an elite-tier pairing, with only 97 other configurations achieving higher average frame rates across the test suite.

The rank is particularly impressive given the age of the game, as Evolve was released in early 2015. The high placement suggests that the combination of the Ryzen 5 7600X's strong single-thread performance on the Zen 4 architecture and the massive compute power of the RTX 4080 SUPER allows for frame rates that far exceed what most systems can produce. For context, the CPU's average benchmark score of 26,272 places it just 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, its closest rival in the database, while the GPU's score of 53,610 is 2.9% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The synergy of these two high-performing components results in a combo rank that reflects their combined capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. The results are presented as average FPS values, with no minimum or maximum frame rate data provided in the dataset.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset yields an average of 336.2 FPS. Increasing the settings to Medium reduces the average to 260.3 FPS, a 22.6% drop. The High preset brings the average down to 202.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset produces an average of 141.6 FPS. The performance scaling from Low to Ultra shows a total reduction of 57.9%, indicating that the game engine's visual effects at higher presets have a significant impact on the frame rate, even at this lower resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages remain very high, making this resolution well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Low preset records an average of 227.0 FPS. The Medium preset averages 175.1 FPS, while the High preset averages 135.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to an average of 96.1 FPS, which is still smooth but demonstrates the cost of maximum visual fidelity. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at the Ultra preset is 45.5 FPS, highlighting the GPU workload increase.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. The Low preset averages 126.6 FPS, which is a solid result for 4K gaming. The Medium preset averages exactly 100.0 FPS. The High preset averages 76.4 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 55.5 FPS. This final figure is the lowest in the dataset and indicates that 4K Ultra settings are a demanding scenario for this combo, though the average remains above 60 FPS only at the Medium preset and below.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER plays a central role in the higher-resolution results, where its memory bandwidth and compute throughput are fully utilized. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This substantial memory subsystem is a key factor in maintaining playable frame rates at 4K, where the data requirements for textures and geometry are immense. The 16 GB capacity ensures that the game's assets fit entirely within VRAM, preventing potential stutters or texture pop-in that could occur with smaller memory pools.

The GPU's clock speeds also contribute to its performance. The base clock is 2295 MHz, with a boost clock of 2550 MHz. These high operating frequencies, combined with the 10,240 shading units, allow the card to execute the massive parallel workloads required for 4K rendering. The card's FP32 compute rating of 52.22 TFLOPS indicates its raw mathematical throughput, which directly translates to pixel and shader processing capability. In the context of Evolve, the RTX 4080 SUPER's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases; at 1080p Low, the CPU is likely the bottleneck, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU's performance ceiling is what determines the final average FPS of 55.5. The GPU's average benchmark score of 53,610 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, and it outperforms its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, by a margin of 0.2%.
