GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of frame rates in Evolve. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is sufficient for the textures and geometry at the tested resolutions. The GPU’s boost clock of 2475 MHz, combined with its 7168 shading units, allows it to process the game’s rendering workload efficiently. The data shows a clear scaling pattern where the GPU’s capabilities are the limiting factor at higher settings.

The most telling evidence of the GPU’s role is the frame rate progression across settings at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the average frame rate scales from 293.3 FPS on Low to 227.6 FPS on Medium, then 176.1 FPS on High, and finally 125.9 FPS on Ultra. This consistent drop with each settings tier indicates that the GPU’s compute and memory resources are being progressively taxed. At 4K, the trend is more pronounced: the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers 112.9 FPS on Low, but this falls to 47.7 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result suggests that the 12 GB frame buffer and the GPU’s raw throughput are being saturated by the combination of high resolution and maximum graphical effects.

The GPU’s 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the theoretical peak for its compute capability. In practical terms, the benchmark results show that the card is well-optimized for Evolve at lower settings, but the Ultra preset at 4K presents a workload that exceeds the card’s comfortable operating range. The card’s 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576, corroborates its position as a high-end part that nevertheless has limits when pushed to maximum settings at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X provides the computational foundation for this system. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer), the CPU operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache is a significant asset for game workloads that require rapid access to frequently used data. The CPU’s synthetic benchmark results, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22620 and a single-core score of 3193, indicate strong performance that is unlikely to bottleneck the GPU in Evolve.

The CPU’s role is best understood by examining the frame rate behavior at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work to do. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 293.3 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough draw calls and game logic updates to sustain very high performance. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6858 and the max-thread score of 6850 demonstrate that the CPU’s multi-threaded capability is consistent, which is important for a game that can utilize multiple cores for physics and AI.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks shows it is in a tightly contested performance tier. The Ryzen 7 5700X’s average score of 26214 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i9-11900KF (26196) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (26272). This indicates that for Evolve’s CPU demands, the 5700X provides a level of processing power that is fully competitive with other high-end desktop parts of its generation. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26214, reinforces its position as a capable processor for gaming workloads.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700X and RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 301 out of 1695 tested combinations in Evolve. This places the system in the upper echelon of tested hardware, with roughly 82% of all combos ranking below it. The high ranking is a direct result of the GPU’s strong performance, as the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 84th percentile ranking among GPUs is slightly higher than the CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among CPUs.

The rank reflects a balanced system where neither component is a clear weak link. The CPU’s performance relative to its rivals, such as being within 0.2% of the Intel Core i9-11900KF and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, ensures it can support the GPU’s output. The GPU’s performance relative to its rivals, such as being 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580X and 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla M40, shows it is a strong contributor to the overall result.

This ranking suggests that the combo is well-suited for Evolve at high refresh rates, but it is not at the absolute top tier. The 47.7 FPS result at 4K Ultra is a clear indicator that the system’s position in the rankings is not due to extreme performance at maximum settings, but rather its ability to deliver high frame rates at more moderate configurations. The ranking of 301 out of 1695 places it solidly in the upper quartile, making it a strong choice for competitive play or high-fidelity gaming at 1440p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for this combo in Evolve show a consistent pattern across all resolutions, with performance decreasing as settings are increased. The data is presented as average FPS for each combination of resolution and settings.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. On Low settings, the average is 293.3 FPS. Increasing to Medium settings yields 227.6 FPS, while High settings produce 176.1 FPS. The most demanding configuration at this resolution, Ultra, still achieves an average of 125.9 FPS. This demonstrates that the combo is capable of providing a very smooth experience on any settings at 1080p, with even the most demanding preset remaining well above the 120 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows a more significant drop at the highest settings. Low settings average 196.2 FPS, Medium settings average 149.8 FPS, and High settings average 118.8 FPS. Ultra settings at this resolution produce an average of 80.8 FPS. This indicates that 1440p is the sweet spot for this combo, as it can maintain high frame rates on High settings and still provide a playable experience on Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Low settings average 112.9 FPS, which is still a very playable frame rate. Medium settings average 83.6 FPS, and High settings average 65.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, with an average of 47.7 FPS. This result shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of memory and 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high performance with all graphical features enabled at 4K. Gamers targeting 4K will need to use High settings or lower to achieve a consistent 60 FPS experience.
