Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination delivers a fundamentally constrained experience in Evolve, placing in the 3545th spot out of 3700 tested combos. This rank, which places it in the bottom 5% of all tested pairings, is the single most important takeaway: this is a pairing that struggles to maintain playable frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows a system that is decisively GPU-bound, where the RX 570’s 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth become the primary bottlenecks, while the 5700G’s 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 architecture provides ample headroom that goes largely unused. The measured FPS figures paint a clear picture: this combo is only viable at 1080p with Low or Medium settings, and even then, it cannot consistently hold 60 FPS under load. At 4K, the experience degrades to an unplayable slideshow, with the Ultra preset averaging just 12 FPS. For anyone analyzing this pairing for Evolve, the verdict is unambiguous: it is a low-end configuration that demands significant graphical compromises to function at all.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 3545 out of 3700 tested pairings is a stark indicator of this system’s standing. This places it in the 4.2% percentile of all tested configurations, meaning more than 95% of other CPU-GPU combinations delivered better performance in Evolve. The data is measured, not extrapolated, so this rank directly reflects the actual frame rates this pairing produces across the tested resolution and settings matrix. The rank is a product of the RX 570’s age and capability; it is an end-of-life GPU with a 14 nm process node and a 150 W TDP, and its benchmark scores confirm its mid-range positioning. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 28766 places it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, but its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (avg score 28874, deltaPct -0.4) and the AMD Radeon RX 470 (avg score 28996, deltaPct -0.8). These deltas are minuscule, showing the RX 570 is statistically tied with those parts, yet all of them are clearly insufficient for Evolve at high settings.

The CPU, in contrast, is not the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27051, which places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i9-9900K (avg score 27097, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (avg score 26936, deltaPct 0.4), the Intel Core i5-14400T (avg score 27166, deltaPct -0.4), and the Intel Core i7-1370P (avg score 26900, deltaPct 0.6). All of these delta percentages are within 0.6% of the 5700G’s score, meaning the CPU is competitive with high-end parts from multiple generations. This is a CPU that can handle Evolve’s processing demands with ease, but it is paired with a GPU that cannot keep pace. The 3545th rank out of 3700 is therefore a GPU-driven failure, not a CPU-driven one. The combination of a strong CPU and a weak GPU creates a situation where the CPU’s potential is wasted, as frame rates are capped by the GPU’s rendering limits.

The measured FPS data reinforces this ranking. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo averages 77 FPS, which is the highest score achieved in any configuration. Yet even this best-case scenario is barely above 60 FPS, and it comes at the cost of visual fidelity. At 1080p Ultra, the average drops to 32 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. At 1440p, the averages range from 52 FPS at Low to 22 FPS at Ultra, and at 4K, the averages are 29 FPS at Low and 12 FPS at Ultra. This pattern shows a system that cannot sustain playable frame rates at any resolution above 1080p with medium or higher settings. The rank of 3545 is not an anomaly; it is a direct consequence of these measured results.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution and settings combo for this pairing in Evolve?*

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 with Low settings produces the highest average FPS at 77 FPS. Medium settings at the same resolution yield 60 FPS, while High drops to 47 FPS and Ultra falls to 32 FPS. The only configuration that consistently exceeds 60 FPS is 1080p Low.

*Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this system for Evolve?*

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 5700G has 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and its average benchmark score of 27051 places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The RX 570, with only 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and a 224.0 GB/s bandwidth, produces frame rates that drop sharply as resolution increases, which is a signature of GPU limitation.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score?

A: The RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 28766, which is 0.4% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (score 28874), 0.7% higher than the AMD Radeon R9 M295X (score 28580), and 0.8% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 470 (score 28996). These differences are negligible, indicating that all these GPUs perform similarly in synthetic tests.

*Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming in Evolve?*

A: No. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 29 FPS at Low settings to 12 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset averages 23 FPS with a minimum of 19 FPS and a maximum of 26 FPS. These frame rates are far below what is needed for a playable experience, making 4K essentially unusable for this game.

*Q: What is the CPU’s single-thread performance, and does it matter for Evolve?*

A: The CPU’s single-thread score in 3dMark is 899, and its 3dMark 2-thread score is 1758. Its Passmark single-thread score is 3283. These scores are strong for a desktop CPU, and given that the GPU is the bottleneck, the CPU’s single-thread capabilities are not the limiting factor in this game.

Q: What is the frame time consistency at 1080p Medium settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average FPS is 60, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. This shows a 9 FPS spread between the minimum and average, indicating some frame pacing variability but not catastrophic stuttering.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals a system that is severely constrained by its GPU, with frame rates dropping precipitously as pixel count increases. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average FPS falls from 47 to 31, a reduction of 16 FPS or 34%. At Low settings, the drop is from 77 to 52 FPS, a loss of 25 FPS or 32.5%. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is even more punishing. At High settings, the average goes from 31 FPS at 2560x1440 to 18 FPS at 3840x2160, a 42% decrease. At Low settings, it goes from 52 to 29 FPS, a 44% decrease. This pattern indicates that the RX 570’s rendering capabilities are overwhelmed by the increase in pixel workload, and the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s becomes a limiting factor.

The fact that the CPU is not the constraint is evident from the scaling behavior. If the CPU were the bottleneck, frame rates would remain relatively flat across resolutions, as the CPU’s workload does not change significantly with resolution. Instead, the frame rates drop dramatically, which is a classic sign of GPU limitation. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and its 3dMark max-thread score is 6627. This processing power is far more than Evolve requires, and the CPU’s percentile rank of 79 versus the GPU’s percentile rank of 74 suggests that both are mid-to-high tier, but the GPU’s absolute performance is insufficient for the game’s demands.

The 1080p to 1440p scaling is particularly telling. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 60 at 1080p to 40 at 1440p, a 33% reduction. At Ultra settings, it drops from 32 to 22 FPS, a 31% reduction. This consistent ~30-40% performance loss across all settings when moving from 1080p to 1440p indicates that the GPU is operating at its limits even at 1080p, and any increase in resolution directly taxes its pixel throughput. The RX 570’s pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 159.2 GTexel/s, and these figures are simply not enough to handle 1440p or 4K in a demanding FPS title like Evolve. The data shows that 1080p is the only resolution where this combo can achieve playable frame rates, and even then, only at lower settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of this combo’s performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 77 FPS, Medium produces 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 and a maximum of 69, High produces 47 FPS, and Ultra produces 32 FPS. This is the only resolution where any setting reaches or exceeds 60 FPS on average, and that is only at Low. The Medium setting at 1080p is borderline playable, with an average of 60 FPS but a minimum of 51 FPS, which indicates that there will be noticeable dips during intense action. High and Ultra settings at 1080p are not recommended, as they fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. Low settings average 52 FPS, Medium averages 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 46, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. None of these configurations reach 60 FPS, and even the Low setting struggles to maintain a smooth experience. The Medium setting at 1440p has a minimum of 34 FPS, which is below the 40 FPS average and indicates that frame times can become quite long. High and Ultra at 1440p are effectively unplayable, with averages of 31 and 22 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, the results are dire. Low settings average 29 FPS, Medium averages 23 FPS with a minimum of 19 and a maximum of 26, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 12 FPS. These frame rates are all well below the threshold for smooth gameplay, and even the Low setting cannot maintain 30 FPS consistently. The Medium setting at 4K has a minimum of 19 FPS, which is a stuttery mess. The 4K Ultra setting, at 12 FPS, is effectively a slideshow. This resolution is entirely unsuitable for this combo in Evolve.

The data shows a clear pattern: the RX 570’s performance is capped by its memory bandwidth and pixel throughput. The GPU’s 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 256-bit bus provide 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, but this is insufficient for 1440p and 4K in a modern FPS. The 5700G’s performance, in contrast, is more than adequate, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5 and single-core score of 1494. These CPU scores are not the limiting factor; the GPU simply cannot keep up with the game’s rendering demands at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a desktop processor built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. This is a substantial amount of processing power, and its benchmark results confirm its high-end status. The CPU’s 3dMark 16-thread score is 6629, its 8-thread score is 5648, and its single-thread score is 899. In Cinebench R23, it scores 12830.5 in multicore and 1494 in single-core. In Geekbench, it scores 9950 multicore and 1894 single-core.

For Evolve, an FPS game released in February 2015, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, physics, AI, and the rendering thread. The 5700G’s 16 threads provide ample parallel processing capacity, and its boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensures strong single-thread performance, which is often critical for game engines. The CPU’s Passmark multithread score is 24419, and its Passmark single-thread score is 3283, both of which are robust figures. The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this pairing, as the frame rates scale heavily with resolution, which is a GPU-driven effect.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K (avg score 27097, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (avg score 26936, deltaPct 0.4), the Intel Core i5-14400T (avg score 27166, deltaPct -0.4), and the Intel Core i7-1370P (avg score 26900, deltaPct 0.6). These delta percentages are tiny, showing that the 5700G is competitive with these parts. The CPU’s percentile rank of 79 versus the GPU’s percentile rank of 74 further illustrates that the CPU is the stronger component. However, in Evolve, the GPU is the limiting factor, so the CPU’s performance advantage does not translate into higher frame rates. The CPU’s 3dMark 2-thread score of 1758 and 4-thread score of 3389 show that it can handle lightly-threaded workloads well, but the game’s frame rate is capped by the GPU’s rendering speed.

The CPU’s memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. This is a standard configuration for the AM4 socket, and it does not constrain the GPU’s performance in this game. The CPU also has integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, but this is not used when the RX 570 is installed. The CPU’s TDP is 65 W, which is low for a desktop part, but this does not affect gaming performance. The data confirms that the 5700G is a capable gaming CPU, but its potential is wasted when paired with the RX 570 in Evolve.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the only viable configuration for this combo in Evolve is 1920x1080 with Low settings, which produces an average of 77 FPS. This is the only tested setting that delivers a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, allowing for smooth gameplay without frequent dips. The Medium setting at 1080p is a secondary option, with an average of 60 FPS, but its minimum of 51 FPS means that frame rates will occasionally drop below the 60 FPS threshold, which can cause noticeable stutter. For players who prefer higher visual fidelity, the High setting at 1080p (47 FPS) is a compromise, but it is not recommended for competitive play where frame rate consistency is paramount.

At 2560x1440, the Low setting averages 52 FPS, which is playable but not ideal, as it is below the 60 FPS target. The Medium setting at 1440p averages 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for many users. High and Ultra at 1440p are not recommended, as they produce averages of 31 and 22 FPS respectively, which are unplayable. At 3840x2160, all settings are unplayable, with the Low setting averaging 29 FPS and the Ultra setting averaging 12 FPS. There is no configuration at 4K that provides an acceptable experience.

The data suggests that the best experience is achieved by prioritizing frame rate over visual quality. The RX 570’s 4 GB of memory is a limiting factor, as higher settings and resolutions increase the memory footprint, potentially causing texture loading issues. The GPU’s FP32 performance is 5.095 TFLOPS, and its memory bandwidth is 224.0 GB/s, both of which are modest by modern standards. For this reason, the recommended preset is 1080p Low, which gives the highest average FPS and the most consistent performance. If a player insists on Medium settings, they should accept the 60 FPS average with occasional dips to 51 FPS. Any setting above Medium at 1080p, or any setting at 1440p or 4K, will result in a degraded experience that falls short of what most users consider playable.

The measured rows show that the performance gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 45 FPS (77 vs. 32), which is a 58% reduction. At 1440p, the gap is 30 FPS (52 vs. 22), a 58% reduction as well. At 4K, the gap is 17 FPS (29 vs. 12), a 59% reduction. This consistent ~58-59% drop from Low to Ultra across all resolutions indicates that the GPU is uniformly taxed by the higher settings, and there is no resolution where Ultra settings are feasible. The recommendation is therefore clear: use Low settings at 1080p for the best playable experience, or Medium at 1080p if visual quality is more important than absolute frame rate consistency.
