Evolve

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a desktop combination that has been measured in Evolve, a 2015 FPS. The data shows an average FPS ranging from 20.6 at 4K Ultra to 122.2 at 1080p Low. This combo ranks 1514th out of 1695 tested combinations for this game, with measured data confirming its performance profile.

CPU Role

The i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake processor with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost of 4.40 GHz. It has 12 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score is 868, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 14372. It sits at the 75th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17181. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (delta 0%) and the Intel Core i7-1260P (delta -0.2%). In Evolve, the CPU's strong single-thread performance is evident: at 1080p Low, the average FPS is 122.2, indicating that the CPU can drive high frame rates when the GPU is not stressed. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient for a 2015 title, and the data shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's launch MSRP is $157.

GPU Role

The GTX 1660 SUPER is a Turing-based GPU with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1530 MHz and boost is 1785 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). It has 1408 shading units, 88 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1278, and its PassMark G3D score is 12699. It sits at the 55th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14286. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 (delta -0.2%) and the Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics (delta -0.2%). In Evolve, the GPU's performance drops sharply as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 122.2, but at 4K Ultra it falls to 20.6. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at high resolutions and quality settings. The GPU's launch MSRP is 229 USD.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values for this combo in Evolve. Min and max FPS were not recorded.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 29.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 47.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 37.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 20.6 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 47.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 80.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 65.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 32.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 76.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 122.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 96 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 51.5 |

The highest average is 122.2 at 1080p Low, and the lowest is 20.6 at 4K Ultra. At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 70.7 FPS, while at 4K the spread is 27.3 FPS, showing that settings have a larger absolute impact at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS scales inversely with resolution. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 122.2 at 1080p to 80.7 at 1440p and 47.9 at 4K. At Ultra, it drops from 51.5 at 1080p to 32.6 at 1440p and 20.6 at 4K. The consistent decline across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU's performance is relatively constant across resolutions. The CPU's high single-thread score (Cinebench R23 single 2029) suggests it can handle the game's logic at high frame rates, but the GPU's rendering capacity is exhausted at higher pixel counts. The 6 GB VRAM and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p, but the 4K Ultra result of 20.6 FPS shows the GPU's limits. The data also reveals that the gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases: at 1080p, Low is 122.2 and Ultra is 51.5, a difference of 70.7 FPS; at 4K, Low is 47.9 and Ultra is 20.6, a difference of 27.3 FPS. This suggests that at 4K, even the lowest settings cannot overcome the GPU's pixel throughput ceiling, while at 1080p the CPU can still push high frame rates when the GPU is not fully saturated.
