Evolve

The pairing of AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700G with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090 creates a stark contrast in capabilities. The CPU is a Zen 3-based 8-core, 16-thread processor with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, while the GPU is the flagship Ada Lovelace chip with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and a 384-bit bus. Benchmark results for Evolve, a 2015 FPS title, reveal how this combination behaves across resolutions and settings, with the data indicating that the GPU remains the dominant force even when paired with a more modest processor.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable yet pronounced drop as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that drop is heavily influenced by the graphics settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 284.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low reduces that to 247.2 FPS, and at 4K Low, the frame rate falls to 141.3 FPS. This represents a 50% reduction from 1080p Low to 4K Low, indicating that the GPU is still managing the workload effectively but is increasingly constrained by pixel count.

The scaling pattern changes dramatically at higher settings. At Ultra, the 1080p result is 155.7 FPS, which drops to 103.6 FPS at 1440p and then to 59.1 FPS at 4K. The reduction from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 62%, a much steeper decline than the 50% observed at Low settings. This suggests that at Ultra, the game’s graphical effects are placing a heavier load on the RTX 4090’s compute and memory subsystems, making resolution scaling less efficient. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 128.8 FPS (284.5 vs. 155.7), but at 4K, that gap narrows to 82.2 FPS (141.3 vs. 59.1). The data indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU can feed frames fast enough to expose the GPU’s raw rendering power, whereas at 4K, the GPU’s pixel throughput becomes the clear bottleneck regardless of settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the comprehensive database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 4090 holds a combo rank of 76 out of 1695 total combos for Evolve. That places it in the top 4.5% of all tested systems, which is a strong showing given the CPU’s mid-range positioning. The rank reflects the GPU’s overwhelming contribution to the final frame rates, as the RTX 4090 sits in the 91st percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 66473.

The CPU’s individual standing is weaker, with the Ryzen 7 5700G falling in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs with an average score of 25626. Its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark database are the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (avg score 25706, delta of -0.3%), the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (avg score 25532, delta of +0.4%), the Intel Core 5 210H (avg score 25490, delta of +0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (avg score 25485, delta of +0.6%). The differences are minuscule, all within a single percentage point, showing that the 5700G is statistically tied with these other chips in synthetic tests.

For the GPU, its nearest rivals are NVIDIA Tesla T4 (avg score 66733, delta of -0.4%), NVIDIA Tesla P40 (avg score 66127, delta of +0.5%), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (avg score 67097, delta of -0.9%), and NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (avg score 67320, delta of -1.3%). Again, these are all within a narrow band, but the RTX 4090’s raw score is competitive with professional-grade cards that cost significantly more in their respective markets. The combo’s high rank is therefore a direct consequence of the GPU’s elite status, with the CPU contributing enough to avoid becoming a severe limiting factor in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The RTX 4090 is built on the AD102 chip using a 5 nm process from TSMC, packing 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die. It features a base clock of 2235 MHz and a boost clock of 2520 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The 24 GB of GDDR6X memory is accessed via a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. These specifications translate into a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 82.58 TFLOPS.

In Evolve, the GPU’s memory capacity is far beyond what the game requires, as the title predates the high-resolution texture packs common in modern releases. The 24 GB VRAM is never a constraint at any tested setting. Instead, the data shows that the GPU’s clock speeds and compute throughput are the differentiators. At 4K Ultra, the combo produces 59.1 FPS, which is a playable frame rate but indicates that the game’s Ultra preset is pushing the GPU hard. The boost clock of 2520 MHz allows the card to sustain high throughput, but the 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 figure is what enables the high frame rates at lower resolutions.

The GPU’s benchmark scores further illustrate its role. In Passmark’s G3D test, it scores 38194, while in Geekbench OpenCL it hits 317684. These numbers place it in the 91st percentile of all GPUs, reinforcing that the RTX 4090 is the primary driver of the combo’s performance in this game. The GPU’s launch MSRP is 1,599 USD, which reflects its flagship status, and its production status is end-of-life as the successor GeForce 50 series has been announced.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings yield 284.5 FPS, Medium drops to 260.7 FPS, High produces 223.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 155.7 FPS. The step-down from Low to Medium is 23.8 FPS, from Medium to High is 37.2 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 67.8 FPS. The largest single drop occurs between High and Ultra, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are: Low at 247.2 FPS, Medium at 192 FPS, High at 153.2 FPS, and Ultra at 103.6 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium costs 55.2 FPS, a much larger penalty than at 1080p, showing that resolution amplifies the cost of each settings increment. The High to Ultra drop is 49.6 FPS, slightly smaller in absolute terms than at 1080p but larger in percentage (32.4% reduction).

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 141.3 FPS, Medium at 107.5 FPS, High at 87.9 FPS, and Ultra at 59.1 FPS. Here, the Low to Medium drop is 33.8 FPS, Medium to High is 19.6 FPS, and High to Ultra is 28.8 FPS. The pattern is less linear, with the Medium to High step being the smallest, suggesting that certain effects scale differently at 4K.

Comparing across resolutions, the 1080p Low result of 284.5 FPS is 2.01 times higher than the 4K Low result of 141.3 FPS. For Ultra, the 1080p result of 155.7 FPS is 2.63 times higher than the 4K result of 59.1 FPS. This discrepancy highlights that the Ultra preset is disproportionately more expensive at 4K, likely due to shader complexity and fill-rate demands that scale non-linearly with pixel count.

FAQ
