Evolve

Evolve has a measured dataset for the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. The database records average frame rates at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 under Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. This combo ranks 501st out of 1695 tested combinations, with a CPU average benchmark score of 31580 and a GPU average benchmark score of 35787.

Resolution Scaling

The strongest pattern in the Evolve data is the frame-rate drop as resolution moves from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 251.5 at 1080p to 166.4 at 1440p and then to 99.2 at 4K. At Medium settings, the sequence is 194.2, 131.9, and 75.9. High settings produce 154.1 at 1080p, 102.1 at 1440p, and 58.8 at 4K. Ultra settings yield 106.9 at 1080p, 73.8 at 1440p, and 41.8 at 4K.

All four settings keep the same ordering: 1080p is fastest, 1440p is slower, and 4K is slowest. The drop from 1080p to 4K is large even at Low, where the average falls from 251.5 to 99.2. At Ultra, the same resolution step drops the frame rate from 106.9 to 41.8. This consistent decline indicates that the rendering workload scales strongly with resolution, which points to the GPU as the primary constraint at higher pixel counts. At 1080p, the averages remain high enough to show that the CPU is not capping the result in a severe way; at 4K, the frame rates compress into a range that reflects the GPU’s output limits.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured combo rank for Evolve is 501 out of 1695. This places the pairing in the upper portion of the tested field, with a large group of combinations faster and an even larger group slower. The CPU’s percentile versus all CPUs is 87, and the GPU’s percentile versus all GPUs is 80, so both components sit above the midpoint of their respective pools.

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 31580. Its nearest rivals bracket that result closely: the Intel Core i7-12700F scores 31543 with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX scores 31495 with a delta of 0.3%, and both the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX score 31407 and 31402 respectively with deltas of 0.6%. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 35787. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro Duo at 35860 with a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Radeon 880M at 35646 with a delta of 0.4%, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 36101 with a delta of -0.9%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile at 35435 with a delta of 1%. These component-level scores are consistent with a pairing that sits near the middle of the upper range in Evolve’s combo table.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is built on Samsung’s 8 nm process using the GA102 chip, with 28300 million transistors and a die size of 628 mm². The GPU has 8704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Its base clock is 1440 MHz, and its boost clock is 1710 MHz. The memory subsystem is 10 GB of GDDR6X on a 320-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1188 MHz and 19 Gbps effective, yielding 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The pixel rate is 164.2 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 465.1 GTexel/s.

In Evolve, the GPU’s influence is most visible at 4K. At 4K Ultra, the measured average is 41.8 FPS. Lowering the setting to High increases the average to 58.8, Medium to 75.9, and Low to 99.2. That 41.8-to-99.2 spread at a fixed resolution shows that graphics settings directly change the GPU workload. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest average in the entire measured set, which aligns with the GPU’s compute and memory throughput limits. At 1440p, the GPU still dominates the outcome: 73.8 at Ultra, 102.1 at High, 131.9 at Medium, and 166.4 at Low. At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to produce 106.9 at Ultra, 154.1 at High, 194.2 at Medium, and 251.5 at Low. The data shows no sudden FPS discontinuity from 1440p to 4K, meaning the memory interface and frame buffer are not visibly capping the results before the render pipeline does.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

| --- | --- | --- |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 251.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 194.2 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 154.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 106.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 166.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 131.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 102.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 73.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 99.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 75.9 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 58.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 41.8 |

The table shows a monotonic pattern within every resolution: Ultra is slowest, then High, then Medium, and Low is fastest. Across resolutions, 1080p is fastest for each setting, 1440p follows, and 4K is slowest. The highest measured average is 251.5 at 1080p Low, and the lowest measured average is 41.8 at 4K Ultra. The dataset records only average FPS; the min and max fields are null. The overall shape of the results indicates a system that can deliver smooth high-refresh-rate performance at 1080p, strong 1440p performance, and playable but much lower frame rates at 4K depending on settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a 7000-series processor based on Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU is built on TSMC’s 5 nm process with 11270 million transistors and a die size of 71 mm². It uses AMD Socket AM5, supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, and has a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s.

The CPU’s role in Evolve can be inferred from the 1080p Low result of 251.5. That is the highest average in the measured set, and it is substantially above the 106.9 result at 1080p Ultra. This shows that the CPU can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU is not the main limiter. Synthetic results reinforce that capability: the processor scores 29149 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4115 in Cinebench R23 single-core. Geekbench multi-core is 15101 and single-core is 2725. In 3DMark, the 16-thread score is 7980, the max-thread score is 7967, and the single-thread score is 959. The closeness of the 16-thread and max-thread scores suggests the CPU’s multi-thread scaling is already saturated by 16 threads. At 4K Ultra, where the GPU produces 41.8 FPS, the CPU has far more performance headroom than the game demands in that configuration. The 96 MB shared L3 cache and DDR5 memory bandwidth provide CPU-side resources that help explain why the 1080p Low result can reach 251.5 without the processor becoming the limiting component in this title.
