Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti pairing produces a wide spectrum of frame rates in Evolve, ranging from a highly playable 71.6 FPS at 4K High to a blistering 287.9 FPS at 1080p Low. The data places this combination at rank 239 out of 1695 tested combos, firmly in the top tier for this title. The benchmark results reveal a system that is consistently GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s Zen 3 architecture provides enough headroom to push extreme frame rates at lower settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows how Evolve’s graphical load scales with resolution, and the pattern is classic for a high-end GPU paired with a mid-range processor. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average frame rate drops from 185.5 FPS to 126.6 FPS, a reduction of roughly 32%. Scaling further to 3840x2160, the frame rate falls to 71.6 FPS, another 43% decline from the 1440p figure. This progressive drop indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the GPU’s pixel throughput becomes the bottleneck.

At Low settings, the scaling behavior shifts. The 1080p Low result of 287.9 FPS drops to 208 FPS at 1440p (down 28%) and then to 116.7 FPS at 4K (down 44% from 1440p). The smaller relative drop between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings suggests the CPU is keeping pace, but the 4K result still shows the GPU struggling to maintain the same efficiency. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution highlights the GPU’s workload: at 1080p, the difference is 160.5 FPS (287.9 vs 127.4), while at 4K it narrows to 65.1 FPS (116.7 vs 51.6). This compression at higher resolutions confirms that pixel count dominates over settings complexity, making the RTX 4070 Ti the decisive factor in 4K performance.

The Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, appear sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 280 FPS. However, the data cannot isolate CPU limits precisely, as the lowest tested settings still show frame rates that would strain many processors. The 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and multi-thread score of 6629 suggest a capable processor, but the game’s performance scaling indicates that resolution, not CPU capability, is the dominant variable across the tested range.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Evolve?

A: The data shows 2560x1440 as the sweet spot, delivering 126.6 FPS at High settings and 87 FPS at Ultra. This provides a balance between visual fidelity and smooth gameplay, as 4K Ultra drops to 51.6 FPS, which may feel less fluid.

Q: How much faster is Low compared to Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 287.9 FPS, which is 160.5 FPS higher than the Ultra preset’s 127.4 FPS. This represents a 126% improvement in frame rate when dropping from Ultra to Low.

Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU at 1080p?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.60 GHz boost clock produces 287.9 FPS at 1080p Low, suggesting minimal CPU bottleneck. However, the 3DMark 2-thread score of 1758 indicates that single-thread performance could be a factor at even higher frame rates, though the data does not show a definitive limit.

Q: Is this combo better than the nearest rival CPUs?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G’s average benchmark score of 25626 is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 25706, a delta of -0.3%. It is 0.4% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core 5 210H, making these CPUs functionally equivalent in synthetic tests.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 Ti compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti’s average benchmark score of 44900 is 0.6% lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile’s 45152. It is 1.5% behind the Intel Arc A730M and 1.6% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, but 1.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 4K Medium?

A: At 3840x2160 with Medium settings, the measured average is 94.1 FPS. This is 22.5 FPS higher than High settings at the same resolution, indicating that Medium is a viable option for 4K gaming on this hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti achieves a rank of 239 out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the 86th percentile of all configurations. This is a strong showing for a pairing that pairs a 2021 CPU with a 2023 GPU, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti’s Ada Lovelace architecture compensates for the older processor. The GPU’s percentile rank of 85 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44900, is the primary driver of this high combo ranking.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 83 among all CPUs, with an average score of 25626, is slightly lower but still competitive. The nearest rival CPUs—the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, Intel Xeon D-2752TER, and Intel Core 5 210H—all score within 0.6% of the 5700G, meaning the processor is not a differentiator in this ranking. The combo’s position at 239 suggests that many higher-ranked configurations use newer, higher-end CPUs, but the measured FPS data shows that this pairing is more than adequate for Evolve’s demands.

The 4K Ultra result of 51.6 FPS is the weakest point, but the 1440p High result of 126.6 FPS and 1080p High result of 185.5 FPS demonstrate that the combo excels in mainstream resolutions. The rank of 239 out of 1695 means roughly 86% of tested combos are slower, making this a top-tier configuration for Evolve despite the CPU’s age.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 Ti delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset averages 287.9 FPS, Medium drops to 238.9 FPS, High achieves 185.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 127.4 FPS. The step between Low and Medium is 49 FPS, while the step between High and Ultra is 58.1 FPS, showing that Ultra imposes a significant load. The 1080p results indicate that the GPU has ample headroom, with even Ultra exceeding 120 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the expected decline. Low averages 208 FPS, Medium 158.7 FPS, High 126.6 FPS, and Ultra 87 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at High settings is 58.9 FPS, which is a 32% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is 40.4 FPS, a 32% reduction as well, indicating a consistent scaling factor across settings. The 1440p Ultra result of 87 FPS is still smooth for most displays, and Medium at 158.7 FPS is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low averages 116.7 FPS, Medium 94.1 FPS, High 71.6 FPS, and Ultra 51.6 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-60 FPS measurement in the entire dataset, making it the only configuration that may require settings adjustments for a 60 Hz display. The 4K Low result of 116.7 FPS shows that the GPU can handle 4K when visual effects are minimized, but the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 65.1 FPS, highlighting the heavy cost of Ultra settings at this resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on TSMC’s 7 nm process with a Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide the computational throughput needed for Evolve’s AI and physics calculations. The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the GPU, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p.

The benchmark data shows the 5700G’s strengths: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930 indicate strong multi-threaded performance for its class. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6629 and 8-thread score of 5648 show that the CPU scales well with thread count, which is relevant for Evolve’s multi-threaded game engine. However, the 3DMark 2-thread score of 1758 and single-thread score of 899 are modest, suggesting that the CPU could be a limiting factor in scenarios where frame rates exceed 300 FPS, though the measured data tops out at 287.9 FPS.

The CPU’s integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are irrelevant for this discrete GPU configuration, but the processor’s 65W TDP and PCIe Gen 3 interface are noteworthy. The PCIe Gen 3 x16 connection to the RTX 4070 Ti, which supports PCIe 4.0, could theoretically reduce bandwidth, but the measured FPS data does not show any bottleneck at 1080p or 1440p. The CPU’s percentile rank of 83 and average benchmark score of 25626 place it in the upper tier of processors, and its nearest rivals—all scoring within 0.6%—confirm that it is a well-balanced choice for this GPU. The data indicates that the 5700G is not the limiting factor in Evolve until frame rates approach the 300 FPS range, which this GPU cannot reach at the tested settings anyway.
