Evolve

Evolve, a 2015 FPS title, is analyzed here with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination. The measured data is real, not synthetic, and the combo ranks 3545 out of 3700 testedCombos in the game, placing it near the bottom tier of all recorded configurations. The GPU is a much older limb (2017) with 4GB GDDR5, while the CPU is a fresh Zen 5 desktop part released in 2025. This pairing yields a uniquely unbalanced profile: the CPU is many tiers stronger than the GPU, and Evolve's 4K numbers make that bottleneck obvious.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS across resolutions shows a predictable video-memory-limited decline. At 1920×1080 the combo reports 77 FPS at Low settings, 60 FPS at Medium, 47 FPS at High, and 32 FPS at Ultra. At 2560×1440 those figures drop to 52/40/31/22 respectively. At 3840×2160 (4K) they compress to 29/23/18/12. The pattern is monotonic: raising resolution or quality level pushes the RX 570 further out of its comfort zone. The Low preset at 1080p yields a reflux 77 FPS, but that top value soon collapses to 52 at 1440p Low and 29 at 4K Low, a reduction of 48 percentixels per screen. The Medium preset at 4K presents a min-AvG of 19-26, but the overall average(23) is barely half of the same preset at 1080p (60). The Ultra curve is extreme: 32 FPS at 1080p, 22 at 1440p, and only 12 at 4K. None of the Ultra rows at 4K reach a replicable or smooth threshold. The data strongly suggests that the 4 GB frame buffer and 224 GB/s memory bandwidth on the 570 become the binding constraint prior to any CPU limitation. At 1080p Low, the CPU can push the GPU to 77, but even there the Ultra preset drops to 32, leaving headroom that the GPU cannot fill. This is a textbook GPU-bound scenario, with the resolution scaler hurting more than any CPU involvement.

How This Combo Ranks

In Evolve's combination database, this specific CPU+GPU pairing holds rank 3545 among 3700 tested combos. That means it is better than a very small slice—approximately 155 other lower-scoring provenCombs—while significantly worse than the vast majority (3544). For clarity: only ~4% of tested combos sit below it. The CPU itself stands in a high percentile (94th among all CPUs), but the GPU performs in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, which is a mid-range result. The furious gap between the two components' relative strength and the game's raw FPS shows that Evolve’s measured results are overwhelmingly driven by the GPU. The combo ranks near the bottom because the GPU severely caps overall output. When the CPU alone has an average benchmark score of 69996 and sits near rivals like the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (69875, delta 0.2) and Intel Core i7-14700KF (70163, −0.2), it’s clear that raw CPU muscle is not the problem. The game’s single-digit and teen FPS at 4K says it all: the 🐢 GPU is the entire fight. This rank does not mean the CPU fails; it means the combination as a whole is a poor fit for Evolve at modern resolutions.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest measured FPS you can get from this combo in Evolve?

A: The highest measured average is 77 FPS, achieved at 1080p (1920×1080) with Low settings.

Q: What is the lowest measured FPS?

A: The lowest average is 12 FPS, which occurs at 4K (3840×2160) with Ultra settings.

Q: Is there a 60 FPS point?

A: Yes, the 1080p Medium preset hits exactly 60 FPS on average, with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69.

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 9700F rank against its nearest CPU rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The 9700F’s average benchmark score is 69996. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX is at 69875 with a deltaPct of 0.2, the Intel Core i7-14700KF is at 70163 with –0.2, the Ryzen 9 7950X at 69515 (0.7), and the Core i7-14700K at 69355 (0.9). Thus, it is nearly identical to the top four rivals, differing by less than 1% in all cases.

Q: Which resolution profile offers the best mix of FPS and quality?

A: From the measured rows, 1080p Low gives 77 FPS, Medium 60, High 47, and Ultra 32. The Medium preset stands out as a 60 FPS baseline, while Low is higher but visibly degraded. 1440p Low is 52, but 1440p Medium presents only a 40 FPS average with min of 34. For a responsive frame rate, 1080p Medium is the only measured option that simultaneously reaches 60 FPS and retains a quality level higher than Low.

Q: How much does the GPU contribute to the game’s numerical result?

A: The RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 28766, with nearest rivals within 1.2%: RX 6800M (28874, −0.4), Radeon RX 470640 (28996, −0.8), and AMD Radeon R9 M295X (28580, 0.7). Its 4 GB VRAM and 224 GB/s bandwidth put a hard ceiling on resolution scaling, which the AI confirms by the severe drop from 77 FPS at 1080p Low to 29 at 4K Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

For each resolution and preset, the average (and min/max where provided) is as follows:

• 1920×1080
• Low: 77 FPS
• Medium: 60 FPS (min 51, max 69)
• High: 47 FPS
• Ultra: 32 FPS
• 2560×1440
• Low: 52 FPS
• Medium: 40 FPS (min 34, max 46)
• High: 31 FPS
• Ultra: 22 FPS

• 3840×2160
• Low: 29 FPS
• Medium: 23 FPS (min 19, max 26)
• High: 18 FPS
• Ultra: 12 FPS

The data contains no min/max for Low, High, or Ultra presets except for Medium, so different reliability for those modes is absent. At 1080p Medium, the 51–69 range shows playable headroom; the 4K Medium range of 19–26 is uniformly sub-30. The 4K High and Ultra averages (18 and 12) are single-digit effective experiences. Overall, the measured rows paint a clear vertical curve: 1080p Medium is the only preset to break 60 FPS; 1440p Low exceeds 50; and the 4K column jumps 23 to 29 at the bottom of the settings gradient. The lack of min/max data for other presets prevents deeper variance analysis, but the available Medium rows indicate that stability improves with lower resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For players who want a responsive experience, 1080p Medium is the most balanced measured choice. It delivers exactly 60 FPS on average, with a minimum of 51, which stays well above the motion-smooth 30 that marks such a game. Going to Low at 1080p adds 17 FPS (77 instead of 60) and might suit need for maximum might, but it sacrifices visual variety. 1080p High drops to 47 FPS, which is still playable but less consistent than the Medium row. At 1440p, Low gives 52 FPS, which can be viable if motion clarity is primary, but the Medium profile only reaches 40 and dips to 34 min, making stutter more likely. 4K performance is uniformly poor—even Low averages only 29 FPS. Therefore, 1080p Medium is the measured sweet spot that balances quality and frame time. Ultra presets, regardless of resolution, offer no fps benefit (32 at 1080p, 22 at 1440p, 12 at 4K) and should be avoided for any real-time play. The 14 nm Polaris GPU simply lacks the shader or memory raw horsepower to sustain Ultra settings. A user requiring more than 77 FPS at 1080p would need to cap with a MonitorRefresh upgrade, because the combo’s lowest latency (Low preset) already reaches only 77.

CPU Role

The CPU is the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F, a Zen 5 chip on the AM5 socket, bearing 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz and sings to 5.50 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, and it has a memory bandwidth to 89.6 GB/s via DDR5. Combined with a PassMark multi-thread score of 36470 and a single-thread score of 4691, it is an obviously capable processor. In Evolve, this silicon is not the limiting factor; the GPU drowns first. At 1080p Low, the CPU can feed 77 FPS, which corresponds to an IPC2certcent of 94% of all CPUs. With the same CPU, one could expect higher frame counts if only a stronger GPU were used; the data example at 4K places the CPU idle while GPU polygons cadence caps. The 8-core/16-thread configuration is more than sufficient for this 2015 title, which uses relatively moderate core budgets. The nearest rival data confirms the performance ball: within ±0.9% (core shift) of the flagship AMD and Intel parts for average score, so Gen 5 power is clearly not this combo’s =weak. The result is entirely a CPU-lag scenario, where the uncut CPU upgrades do not turn into higher measured FPS because the RX 5700 lacks the processing shaders for 4K or Ultra work. At 1080p Low, the CPU’s single-thread advantage shows its best 900p= 4691 PassMark single-threaded score directly supports the ability to hit 77 FPS. In a strict sense, the 9700F is a top-tier processor in a procedural bottlenecked GPU pairing.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 is an older GCN 4.0 part with 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, giving 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 2.0 GB/s effective. The GPU clocks at base 1168 MHz and boost 1244 MHz, with 2048 shading units and 128 TMUs. Its pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s and texture rate 159.2 GTexel/s, with an FP32 output of 5.095 TFLOPS. These numbers do not remotely meet the demands of Evolve at high resolution: the 4K Ultra row logs 12 FPS, which is a noninteractive experience. The GPU’s measured average benchmark score is 28276, and athlete rivals such as the RX 6800M (28874, −0.4pct) and RX 470 (28996, −0.8) show that within its own generation, it is a mid-range card. But those are late-21ery products; in Evolve, the GPU holds back any high-refresh or high-resolution goal. The 4GB video memory is probably a heavy constraint, and the data supports that: even at Low preset, 4K averages only 29 FPS, whereas Memory bandwidth constraints produce the same thing as polygon bill. At 1080p, the GPU can—even with Ultra—produce 32 FPS, but for 60+ it requires the MHz and minimal settings. The GPU also trails the CPU’s relative strength in percentile terms: it’s the 74th, while the CPU sits efficiently at 94th. Evolve’s measuredFPS field contains no high-frequency outliers; everything above 100 FPS is absent, unders Amplgeb above 90. If the user wants a past 5000, the combo should be replaced or the resolution reduced to 1080p Med or Low. The 5700’s 4GB frame buffer, and the 113 FPS compaction, create the precise reason this Result is placed at the bottom of the combination stack.
