Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers a remarkably consistent scaling curve in Evolve, with the GPU acting as the primary performance arbiter across all tested resolutions. At 1080p, the combo posts an average of 188 FPS on High settings, which climbs to 240 FPS on Medium and peaks at 309 FPS on Low. Stepping up to 1440p, those figures drop to 126 FPS on High, 161 FPS on Medium, and 208 FPS on Low. At 4K, the averages settle at 72 FPS on High, 92 FPS on Medium, and 118 FPS on Low. The transition from 1080p to 1440p represents a roughly 33% reduction in average FPS across all settings, while the jump from 1440p to 4K yields a further 43% drop. This pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's rendering pipeline becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises, with the Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8-core, 16-thread configuration providing ample headroom even at the lowest resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern that shifts from CPU-bound at 1080p to firmly GPU-bound at 4K. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 309 FPS, a figure that suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU far more frames than the graphics card can render. This is further supported by the 1080p Medium result of 240 FPS, which still leaves the Ryzen 7 5800XT with significant computational slack. The 1080p High average of 188 FPS and Ultra average of 130 FPS show that even at the highest settings, the CPU is not the bottleneck. Moving to 1440p, the scaling becomes more linear with resolution: Low produces 208 FPS, Medium 161 FPS, High 126 FPS, and Ultra 87 FPS. The 4K results—118 FPS on Low, 92 FPS on Medium, 72 FPS on High, and 50 FPS on Ultra—demonstrate that the GPU's workload is now the sole determinant of performance. The delta between 1440p and 4K at the same settings is consistent: roughly 43% lower FPS, which aligns with the pixel count increase from 3.7 million to 8.3 million. This scaling curve suggests that players targeting 4K should expect a playable experience at Medium settings, while 1440p users can comfortably run High settings, and 1080p users have enough overhead to enable Ultra without sacrificing smoothness.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s memory bandwidth play a critical role in the 4K results. Evolve's texture-heavy environments and particle effects place significant demands on VRAM capacity, and the 16 GB frame buffer ensures that the card does not spill over into system memory at any tested resolution. The GPU's base clock of 2340 MHz and boost clock of 2610 MHz, combined with its 8448 shading units, drive the observed performance. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz with a 21 Gbps effective rate, which provides the 256-bit bus with sufficient throughput to feed the 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 compute capacity. At 4K Ultra, the average of 50 FPS indicates that the GPU is operating at its limits, with the shading units and texture units—264 TMUs and 96 ROPs—fully saturated. The 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores do not appear to contribute to Evolve's rasterization workload, as the game does not utilize ray tracing or DLSS features in the measured scenarios. The GPU's 285 W TDP and triple-slot cooler design allow it to sustain boost clocks during prolonged sessions, which is consistent with the stable frame rates observed across all resolution tiers. Compared to the CPU's 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, the GPU's 672.3 GB/s is over 13 times higher, underscoring that the graphics card is the dominant data consumer in this combination.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimizing Evolve with this hardware combination. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset's 130 FPS average is already well above the 120 Hz refresh rate common among gaming monitors, making it the recommended choice for players who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rates. However, for esports-focused players, the Low preset's 309 FPS offers a substantial competitive advantage, though the visual trade-offs are significant. At 2560x1440, the High preset at 126 FPS presents the best experience per the measured rows, as it maintains a frame rate above 120 FPS while preserving most visual effects. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 87 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 31% reduction compared to High, making it less desirable for fast-paced gameplay. For 4K, the Medium preset's 92 FPS average with a minimum of 78 FPS is the sweet spot, as it provides a smooth experience without the visual degradation of Low settings. The High preset at 4K averages 72 FPS, which is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the Medium preset offers a more comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K, with its 50 FPS average, is not recommended for active play, as frame pacing issues can arise below 60 FPS. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the most balanced performance, with the 1080p Medium result of 240 FPS, 1440p Medium at 161 FPS, and 4K Medium at 92 FPS all providing excellent frame rates without the visual artifacts associated with Low settings.

The minimum and maximum FPS values are only provided for the Medium preset at each resolution, indicating that this setting was subjected to more rigorous frame time analysis. The 1080p Medium minimum of 204 FPS and maximum of 276 FPS show a frame time variance of 72 FPS, which represents a 30% deviation from the average. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 137 FPS and maximum of 185 FPS show a 48 FPS variance, or a 30% deviation from the 161 FPS average. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 78 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS show a 27 FPS variance, or a 29% deviation from the 92 FPS average. This consistent variance pattern across resolutions suggests that the Medium preset triggers similar levels of scene complexity variation in Evolve, regardless of resolution. The lack of min/max data for the other presets limits the analysis, but the average FPS figures alone provide sufficient information for performance evaluation. The data confirms that the combo is capable of exceeding 300 FPS at 1080p Low, which is a strong indicator of its suitability for high-refresh-rate displays, while the 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS marks the only preset where the combination falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the only scenario where performance would be considered suboptimal for competitive play.
