Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 presents a compelling dataset for Evolve, a 2015 FPS title. The measured frame rates reveal a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the GPU acting as the primary performance arbiter at higher graphical presets. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions, contextualizes the combo's standing against other tested systems, and examines the CPU's contribution to the results.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a steep performance curve as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, which is typical for a GPU-bound title. At the "Low" settings preset, the average frame rate drops from 189.7 FPS at 1080p to 127.7 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of approximately 32.7%. Scaling further to 4K, the average falls to 73.5 FPS, representing a 61.3% decline from the 1080p baseline. This dramatic drop at 4K with low settings indicates that pixel throughput capacity becomes the limiting factor, even when the graphical workload is light.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced at higher quality presets. For "High" settings, the average FPS moves from 114.9 at 1080p to 77.1 at 1440p (a 32.9% decrease) and then to 43.5 at 4K (a 62.1% decrease from 1080p). The "Ultra" preset shows the most severe scaling: 83 FPS at 1080p drops to 56.4 at 1440p (32.0% decrease) and bottoms out at 34.1 FPS at 4K (58.9% decrease). These consistent percentage drops across presets suggest that the RTX 4060's memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s and its 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer are the dominant constraints when moving to higher resolutions, rather than the CPU's processing power.

The data indicates that the 1080p to 1440p transition is the most efficient operating point for this combo. At 1440p with "Medium" settings, the average FPS is 100.1, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. However, pushing to 4K with "Ultra" settings yields an average of only 34.1 FPS, which would likely result in a stuttering experience. The resolution scaling analysis reveals a system optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for lower quality presets where the 73.5 FPS "Low" setting average remains playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is ranked 953rd out of 1695 tested combos for Evolve. This places it in the upper-middle portion of the database, indicating that while it is not a top-tier configuration for this specific title, it outperforms a majority of the tested systems. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU's 83rd percentile standing among all CPUs and the GPU's 66th percentile among all GPUs.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its position. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, with a score 0.3% higher, and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, with a score 0.4% lower, are essentially performance peers. This suggests that the 5700G's processing capabilities are not a bottleneck in this ranking. On the GPU side, the RTX 4060's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 0.6% higher, while the Intel Arc B580 scores 0.7% lower. The tight clustering of these scores indicates that the GPU is performing as expected for its class, and the combo's rank is likely determined by how well these two components work together in Evolve's specific engine.

Given the measured FPS data, the rank of 953 out of 1695 is consistent with a system that can handle the game at high frame rates in 1080p and 1440p but struggles at 4K with maxed-out settings. The combo sits in the 56th percentile of all tested combos, meaning it is faster than roughly 56% of the systems tested, but slower than the top 44% which likely feature higher-end GPUs with more memory bandwidth.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of this combo's performance across all settings and resolutions.

1920x1080: The lowest resolution tested shows the highest frame rates. The "Low" preset averages 189.7 FPS, providing an extremely smooth experience. "Medium" follows at 147.2 FPS, and "High" at 114.9 FPS. The "Ultra" preset drops to 83 FPS, which is still well above the standard 60 FPS target. This resolution is clearly where the combo excels, with all presets delivering playable-to-excellent performance.

2560x1440: At 1440p, the performance remains strong but shows the GPU's limits. "Low" settings average 127.7 FPS, and "Medium" hits 100.1 FPS. "High" settings produce 77.1 FPS, which is still comfortable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The "Ultra" preset at 56.4 FPS is the first configuration to dip below 60 FPS, indicating that the GPU's shading units (3072) and 128-bit memory bus are starting to be strained.

3840x2160: At 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. "Low" settings yield 73.5 FPS, which is playable. "Medium" drops to 58.4 FPS, and "High" falls to 43.5 FPS. The "Ultra" preset produces only 34.1 FPS, which would be a compromised experience. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at "High" settings (77.1 to 43.5) shows a 43.6% performance drop, highlighting the GPU's inability to maintain frame rates as pixel count increases substantially.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the RTX 4060's 8 GB memory capacity and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K resolution requires more memory bandwidth than the 128-bit bus can provide, leading to the significant FPS drops seen in the numbers.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The CPU's benchmark scores are robust: it achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930. In synthetic tests, it scores 6629 in 3DMark with 16 threads and 899 in the single-thread test.

For Evolve, a game released in 2015, the CPU's processing power is likely more than sufficient. The game's engine was designed for the multi-core CPUs of that era, and the 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom. The measured FPS scaling with resolution confirms this: at 1080p with "Low" settings, the FPS reaches 189.7, which is likely near the engine's frame rate cap or limited by the GPU even at low settings. If the CPU were a bottleneck, we would expect to see similar FPS numbers across different resolutions, but the data shows a clear decline as resolution increases, indicating the GPU is the limiting factor.

The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, has a nearly identical average benchmark score (25706 vs 25626), but that CPU is a mobile part with lower sustained clocks. The 5700G's desktop design, with a 65W TDP and access to dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, ensures stable performance. In this configuration, the CPU's role is to feed the RTX 4060 with draw calls and game logic. Given the high FPS numbers at 1080p, it is clear the 5700G is not hindering the GPU's performance in Evolve. The 16 MB of L3 cache and 4.60 GHz boost clock are more than adequate for this title's demands, allowing the RTX 4060 to operate at its full potential until the GPU itself runs out of memory bandwidth at higher resolutions.
