Evolve

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER places 646th out of 3,700 tested combos in Evolve. That puts it in the top 17.5% of all combinations tested, which is a strong position for a game from 2015. The ranking reflects a pairing where the GPU does the heavy lifting at higher resolutions, while the CPU's eight cores keep frame pacing consistent.

Benchmark results indicate this combo sits well above the median tested system. The RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 43,223 places it in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27,051 average score lands in the 79th percentile among all CPUs. Neither component is a bottleneck in the traditional sense for this title, though the gap between the two becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the CPU's single-thread performance matters more.

Compared to its nearest CPU rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700G is effectively tied with the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 27,097 (a 0.2% difference). It also sits within a narrow band of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (26,936, 0.4% ahead) and the Intel Core i5-14400T (27,166, 0.4% behind). This clustering means the 5700G is not leaving performance on the table relative to other capable desktop and mobile parts from different generations.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rivals are all within 1% of its average score. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43,262) is 0.1% behind, the RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268) is 0.1% behind, and the RTX 4090 Mobile (43,667) is 1% ahead. This tight grouping suggests the 4070 SUPER is a well-balanced card that does not dramatically outclass or underperform its direct competitors in synthetic benchmarks.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Evolve. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, it delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory configuration is more than sufficient for a 2015 FPS title, even at 4K resolution with high texture settings. The card's 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs handle the game's rasterization demands without strain.

Clock speeds are notable: a base of 1980 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz. These clocks translate to a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s. For Evolve, which is not particularly demanding by modern standards, these figures mean the GPU can push frame rates far beyond what the game's engine can cap in most scenarios. The FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS gives the card ample headroom for the game's particle effects and monster animations.

The card's Ada Lovelace architecture includes 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, though Evolve does not use ray tracing or DLSS. Those features sit idle in this title, meaning the raw rasterization performance is what drives the measured results. The 12 GB VRAM is never a limiting factor here; even at 4K Ultra, the game's memory footprint stays well within the card's capacity.

Power draw is a consideration for system builders: the card has a 220 W TDP and recommends a 550 W PSU. It requires a single 16-pin power connector. The dual-slot cooler at 267 mm length should fit in most mid-tower cases, but check clearance against drive cages.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700G brings eight cores and sixteen threads to this combo, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosting to 4.60 GHz. Based on the Zen 3 architecture on TSMC's 7 nm process, this CPU has 16 MB of L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 per core. For Evolve, which is a 2015 game optimized for fewer threads, the single-thread performance matters more than raw multi-core throughput.

Benchmark data shows the CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1494. These numbers are solid for a desktop APU, though not class-leading. In Evolve, the game's physics and AI systems benefit from the eight physical cores, but the 16 threads are largely underutilized. The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 3283 confirms it can handle the game's main thread without becoming a bottleneck at 1080p.

The integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are present but irrelevant in this configuration since the RTX 4070 SUPER handles all rendering. The CPU's 65 W TDP and DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the GPU at high frame rates. At 1080p Low, where the game is heavily CPU-bound, the 5700G's single-thread performance is the limiting factor — the measured 287 FPS average suggests the game engine is hitting its own limits rather than the CPU's.

Compared to its rivals, the 5700G's multi-threaded scores are competitive. Its Passmark multithread score of 24,419 is within 0.4% of the Intel Core i9-9900K (27,097 average), which is a notable result for a chip with a lower TDP. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,629 and max-thread score of 6,627 show consistent scaling across core counts.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, giving a clear picture of how this combo scales. At 1080p, the system is rarely GPU-limited. Low settings produce 287 FPS average, Medium drops to 226 FPS (min 192, max 260), High sits at 177 FPS, and Ultra manages 123 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 61 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 54 FPS — both are significant reductions, but the absolute numbers remain playable at every preset.

At 1440p, the GPU begins to show its strength. Low settings hit 196 FPS average, Medium delivers 152 FPS (min 129, max 174), High reaches 119 FPS, and Ultra drops to 82 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 33 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 37 FPS. These numbers suggest that 1440p High is the sweet spot for competitive play, offering well over 100 FPS while maintaining visual quality.

At 4K, the system remains surprisingly capable. Low settings produce 111 FPS average, Medium delivers 86 FPS (min 73, max 99), High manages 68 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 21 FPS, which is the largest relative drop at this resolution. The 4K Medium result with a minimum of 73 FPS is particularly impressive for a game from 2015, showing that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient.

Comparing resolutions at the same settings, the scaling is consistent. At High settings, 1080p (177 FPS) to 1440p (119 FPS) is a 33% drop, and 1440p to 4K (68 FPS) is a 43% drop. At Medium settings, the drops are 33% and 43% respectively. This linear scaling indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes more relevant at 1080p Low where the 287 FPS result likely approaches the game engine's frame rate cap.

Settings Recommendations

For competitive play at 1080p, Low settings deliver 287 FPS, which is far beyond any monitor's refresh rate. Medium settings at 226 FPS (min 192) still provide a massive competitive advantage while improving visual fidelity. High settings at 177 FPS are the best balance of visual quality and performance for most players. Ultra at 123 FPS is unnecessary for this resolution.

At 1440p, High settings at 119 FPS are the recommended choice. This preset offers a significant visual upgrade over Medium (152 FPS) while maintaining a frame rate that exceeds most 1440p monitors' refresh rates. Ultra at 82 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced play but introduces a 37 FPS penalty over High. Low at 196 FPS is overkill for this resolution.

At 4K, Medium settings at 86 FPS (min 73) are the clear winner. This preset provides smooth gameplay with a minimum above 70 FPS, which is a comfortable margin for the game's action sequences. High at 68 FPS is playable but risks dipping below 60 FPS in heavy scenes. Low at 111 FPS sacrifices too much visual quality for the extra headroom. Ultra at 47 FPS is not recommended due to the sub-60 FPS average.

The data shows that the optimal experience depends on the display resolution. For 1080p, High settings offer the best mix of visuals and speed. For 1440p, High is again the sweet spot. For 4K, Medium provides the most consistent performance with acceptable visual quality. In all cases, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM and the Ryzen 7 5700G's eight cores combine to keep frame rates well above playable thresholds.
