Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT delivers a solid 1080p experience in Evolve, but the data shows that 4K gaming is only viable at lower settings. This combination places in the 36th percentile of tested combos for this title, indicating a system that is capable but not top-tier. The measured results reveal a clear performance hierarchy where the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution increases.

FAQ

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is the workhorse of this configuration, and its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with a bandwidth of 280.3 GB/s is a key factor in Evolve's performance. The GPU's clock speeds are substantial, with a base clock of 2055 MHz and a boost clock of 2635 MHz, allowing for significant processing throughput. This card, based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture (Navi 23 chip), employs 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units to handle the game's FPS rendering.

The GPU's performance, measured by a Passmark G3D score of 17166, places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. This score is effectively tied with the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, which has a deltaPct of 0%. It is also within a 0.6% range of the Intel Arc A370M and AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH. In Evolve, the GPU's capability directly dictates the frame rate ceilings. At 4K Ultra, the card's resources are overwhelmed, resulting in an average of 26.5 FPS. Dropping to 4K Low relieves the pressure, pushing the average up to 64.6 FPS. This shows that while the card has enough raw power for high-refresh 1080p, its 8 GB VRAM and memory bandwidth become limiting factors at higher resolutions and detail settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested configurations for Evolve, this pairing of the Ryzen 7 5700G and RX 6650 XT holds a rank of 1076 out of 1695 combos. This places it in the lower half of all tested systems, specifically in the 36th percentile of performance. This rank indicates that while this setup is far from the bottom, there are many more powerful combinations that achieve higher frame rates.

The data suggests that this combination is a competent mid-range performer. It is capable of delivering excellent frame rates at 1080p, making it more than adequate for competitive play on standard monitors. However, its ranking reflects that it will not be able to compete with high-end systems in demanding scenarios like 4K Ultra. The benchmark results indicate a system that is well-balanced for its class, but it does not offer the headroom needed to be considered a top-tier performer in this specific game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo provides a detailed look at its performance across different resolutions and settings in Evolve.

• 1080p: This is the strongest resolution for this combo. At Low settings, the average FPS is an impressive 167.4. Moving to Medium yields 130.9 FPS, and High settings still provide a very smooth 104 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset at 1080p drops the average to 68.2 FPS, which is still playable.
• 1440p: At 2560x1440, performance takes a noticeable hit. Low settings produce a solid 114.7 FPS, while Medium averages 85.9 FPS. High settings remain respectable at 71.1 FPS. Ultra settings, however, bring the average down to 47.9 FPS, which is on the edge of smooth gameplay.
• 4K: At 3840x2160, the system struggles with higher settings. Low settings are the most viable, achieving an average of 64.6 FPS. Medium settings average 49 FPS, and High drops to 41.7 FPS. Ultra settings are nearly unplayable, with an average of just 26.5 FPS.

The performance deltas between settings are consistent. Dropping from Ultra to High at 1080p yields a significant 35.8 FPS improvement. The gap between Low and Ultra is most pronounced at 1080p, where the difference is 99.2 FPS, highlighting the GPU's workload at higher detail levels.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates where the bottleneck lies in this system. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 167.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low reduces this to 114.7 FPS, a 31.5% decrease. At 4K Low, the average FPS falls to 64.6, which is a 61.4% decrease from the 1080p result.

This pattern is consistent across all settings. For example, at High settings, the average FPS goes from 104 at 1080p to 71.1 at 1440p, and then to 41.7 at 4K. The dramatic scaling penalty between 1440p and 4K is particularly telling. The number of pixels being rendered quadruples from 1080p to 4K, and the GPU's performance does not scale linearly, indicating that the RX 6650 XT's processing power and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors.

The CPU's role in this scaling is minimal. The Ryzen 7 5700G has ample headroom to feed the GPU frames at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the very high 167.4 FPS at 1080p Low. However, as resolution increases, the GPU becomes saturated, and the FPS drops are solely attributable to the graphics card's inability to keep up with the increased rendering load. The data points to a GPU-bound scenario at 1440p and 4K, while at 1080p the system is better balanced.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne). It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This processing power ensures that the CPU will not be a bottleneck in Evolve, a game that is more dependent on GPU performance. The CPU's benchmark scores support this; it achieves a strong Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930.

The CPU's overall benchmark average is 25626, which places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. This performance is very close to its nearest rivals, with a deltaPct of -0.3% against the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and +0.4% against the Intel Xeon D-2752TER. In the context of Evolve, the CPU's 16 threads are more than sufficient to handle the game's logic and physics calculations.

The evidence of a balanced system at 1080p, where FPS can reach 167.4, shows the CPU is capable of high throughput. However, the lack of a significant performance drop between 1080p and 1440p at lower settings suggests the CPU is not the primary limiter. The data indicates that the Ryzen 7 5700G provides a stable foundation, but the overall frame rates in this title are overwhelmingly determined by the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT.
