FAQ

*Q: What is the overall performance ranking of this CPU and GPU combo in Evolve?*

A: The combo ranks 315th out of 1,695 tested combos, placing it in the 81st percentile of all tested systems.

Q: How does the CPU's multi-threaded performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 3700X scores 19,087 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, which is within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-12600 (28,654) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (28,591) in average benchmark scores. The deltaPct against these rivals is -0.1% and +0.1%, respectively.

Q: What is the measured average FPS at 1440p with High settings?

A: At 2560x1440 with High settings, the measured average FPS is 125.6. This represents a significant drop from the 188.1 FPS recorded at 1080p with the same settings.

Q: Does the GPU's 16 GB VRAM capacity impact 4K Ultra performance?

A: The 16 GB GDDR6X memory provides ample capacity for Evolve. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 49.3, which indicates the limiting factor is raw GPU compute throughput rather than VRAM capacity, as lower settings at 4K yield much higher frame rates.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 230.1 on Low settings to 128.8 on Ultra settings. This represents a 44% reduction in frame rate when moving from the lowest to the highest quality preset.

Q: How does the GPU's benchmark score compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has an average benchmark score of 48,704. This is 1.6% lower than the NVIDIA RTX A2000 (47,915) and 2.1% higher than the Intel Arc A550M (49,737), based on the deltaPct values.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory operates across a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock reaches 2610 MHz, with a base clock of 2340 MHz. The AD103 chip, built on a 5 nm process, contains 8,448 shading units and 96 ROPs, which are directly responsible for pixel output.

In Evolve, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings increase. The data shows that the GPU's compute capabilities, rated at 44.10 TFLOPS FP32, are the primary driver of frame rate differences between presets. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 49.3 suggests the GPU is heavily loaded, while at 1080p Low, the 230.1 FPS average indicates the GPU is not the bottleneck. The GPU's pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s provide the raw fill rates needed to handle the game's visual effects.

The 16 GB memory capacity is substantial for a game released in 2015, and the measured data indicates that capacity is not a limiting factor. The transition from Medium to High settings at 1440p results in a 21.5% FPS drop (159.9 to 125.6), while the transition from High to Ultra at the same resolution results in a 30.9% drop (125.6 to 86.8). These diminishing returns point to the GPU's shading and texture processing limits, not memory constraints.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 315 out of 1,695 places this system in the 81.4th percentile of all tested configurations. This ranking reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU. The CPU's average benchmark score of 28,631 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rival being the Intel Core i5-12600 at 28,654 (a 0.1% difference). The GPU's average score of 48,704 places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with the NVIDIA CMP 50HX slightly ahead at 49,071.

The ranking indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems in Evolve. The CPU's multi-threaded performance, evidenced by its 8,016 Cinebench R20 score and 29,6379 Passmark data compression score, ensures that the system can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions. However, the ranking relative to higher-tier combinations suggests that the Ryzen 7 3700X may limit the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER at 1080p, where the GPU's potential is not fully utilized.

The deltaPct values for the GPU's rivals show a tight cluster. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 2% faster than the RTX A1000 Mobile (47,743) and 1.6% faster than the RTX A2000 (47,915), but 2.1% slower than the Intel Arc A550M (49,737). This mid-range positioning within the GPU hierarchy explains why the combo ranks where it does—it is not at the absolute top, but it is far above the median.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers consistently high frame rates across all presets. The Low preset yields an average of 230.1 FPS, Medium produces 210.4 FPS, High reaches 188.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 128.8 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 101.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution. Even at Ultra, the frame rate exceeds 120 FPS, which is suitable for high refresh rate displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show a more pronounced impact from settings. The Low preset averages 201.7 FPS, Medium 159.9 FPS, High 125.6 FPS, and Ultra 86.8 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 114.9 FPS, which is a 57% reduction. This indicates that the GPU is becoming more stressed at this resolution, particularly with higher quality settings.

At 3840x2160, the performance landscape changes dramatically. The Low preset still manages an average of 120.4 FPS, which is playable and smooth. Medium drops to 88.4 FPS, High to 71.6 FPS, and Ultra to 49.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K falls below the 60 FPS threshold, which may be noticeable in a fast-paced FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 71.1 FPS, representing a 59% reduction. This data suggests that for 4K gaming, users should stick to Medium or High settings to maintain smooth frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear pattern of resolution scaling. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 188.1 FPS at 1080p to 125.6 FPS at 1440p, a 33% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings, the frame rate drops further to 71.6 FPS, a 43% reduction. The total drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 116.5 FPS, or 62%.

At Low settings, the scaling is more linear. The frame rate drops from 230.1 FPS at 1080p to 201.7 FPS at 1440p (a 12% reduction) and then to 120.4 FPS at 4K (a 40% reduction from 1440p). The smaller drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings indicates that the CPU may be a limiting factor at these lower resolutions, as the GPU has spare capacity.

At Ultra settings, the resolution scaling is steepest. The frame rate drops from 128.8 FPS at 1080p to 86.8 FPS at 1440p (a 33% reduction) and then to 49.3 FPS at 4K (a 43% reduction). This pattern points to the GPU being the primary limiting component at higher resolutions and quality settings. The 4K Ultra result of 49.3 FPS is the lowest measured frame rate in the dataset, confirming that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is pushed to its limits in this scenario.

The scaling behavior suggests that the Ryzen 7 3700X provides sufficient performance at 1080p to avoid bottlenecking the GPU, but the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as resolution increases. The 16 GB VRAM does not appear to be a bottleneck at any tested setting, as the frame rate scaling correlates with GPU compute load rather than memory capacity. This system is best suited for high refresh rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring reduced settings for optimal performance.
