The fact that the CPU's multi-core scores are high (e.g., PassMark multithread score of 27988) suggests it can handle these frame rates without becoming a limiting factor, leaving the GPU as the primary performance driver.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this configuration for Evolve, with its performance characteristics directly dictating the frame rates across all settings. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is sufficient to feed the 7168 shading units at all tested resolutions. The data shows a clear correlation between GPU load and settings; as the visual workload increases, the average frame rates drop consistently.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 1980 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz, allow it to maintain high throughput in this FPS title. This is evident in the 1080p Medium result of 228.3 FPS, which is a demanding scenario for any GPU. The RTX 4070 SUPER's compute capabilities, rated at 35.48 TFLOPS for FP32, are fully utilized when moving from Low to Ultra presets. For example, at 1440p, the average FPS scales from 196.4 on Low down to 80.9 on Ultra, a drop of 115.5 FPS, which is directly attributable to the increased pixel and shader workload placed on the GPU.

At 4K, the GPU's role becomes even more critical. The 4K High average of 66.8 FPS shows that the GPU is still capable of playable frame rates, but the 4K Ultra average of 48 FPS indicates that the card is reaching its limits with the most demanding settings. The 4K Low result of 112 FPS demonstrates that when the GPU is not heavily taxed by graphical effects, it can still push high frame rates even at the highest resolution. The benchmark results for the GPU, such as a PassMark G3D score of 29995, support this interpretation, positioning it as a high-end part that excels when not bottlenecked by other components.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the performance scales from 1080p to 4K, highlighting the GPU as the primary limiting component. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 175.2 FPS at 1080p to 119.8 FPS at 1440p, a 31.6% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the average FPS drops to 66.8, a further 44.2% decrease. This steep decline from 1440p to 4K is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering resolution significantly increases the pixel count.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings. For the Low preset, the average FPS goes from 289.8 at 1080p to 196.4 at 1440p, and then to 112 at 4K. This shows that even at the lowest graphical load, the resolution increase from 1440p to 4K still cuts performance nearly in half. The Medium preset follows a similar trend, with averages of 228.3, 148.3, and 85.9 FPS for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, respectively.

The Ultra preset shows the most significant scaling impact. The average FPS drops from 124.4 at 1080p to 80.9 at 1440p, and finally to 48 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only tested configuration that falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold. This scaling behavior confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER's performance is the deciding factor; the CPU's capabilities are not exposed as a bottleneck because the frame rate drops are directly proportional to the increased GPU workload from higher resolutions.
