Evolve

Evolve is a 2015 FPS. The tested combination is the Intel Core i5-12400 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, and the data is marked as measured rather than estimated. Measured FPS is available at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings. The highest recorded average is 303 fps at 1080p Low, while the lowest recorded average is 65.1 fps at 4K Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

At 1920x1080, the combo averages 303 fps on Low, 275.3 fps on Medium, 233.8 fps on High, and 160 fps on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the same settings produce 257.7 fps, 197 fps, 158.4 fps, and 109.4 fps, respectively. At 3840x2160, the results drop to 146.8 fps on Low, 114.3 fps on Medium, 90.1 fps on High, and 65.1 fps on Ultra.

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is large at every preset. Low falls from 303 to 146.8, Medium from 275.3 to 114.3, High from 233.8 to 90.1, and Ultra from 160 to 65.1. This pattern indicates that the RTX 5090 is the limiting component as resolution increases. The i5-12400 has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, but the frame-rate ceiling at 1080p Low is 303 fps. If the CPU were the primary bottleneck, the lower-resolution results would not climb that high; instead, the FPS scales directly with the GPU workload generated by resolution and settings.

At 4K, the situation is clearly GPU-intensive. Ultra averages 65.1 fps, High averages 90.1 fps, and Medium averages 114.3 fps. At 1440p, Ultra still averages 109.4 fps, while High reaches 158.4 fps. The data shows a consistent downward shift as both resolution and preset level increase. This is the expected signature of a GPU-bound game at high pixel counts.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 is built on the GB202 chip with a 5 nm process at TSMC. The die contains 92,200 million transistors and measures 750 mm². The shading array includes 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. The memory subsystem is 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz and 28 Gbps effective speed. That configuration produces 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth.

The measured Evolve results reflect this large GPU resource pool. At 4K High, the combo averages 90.1 fps; at 4K Medium, 114.3 fps; and at 4K Low, 146.8 fps. These numbers show that the GPU is still able to push high frame rates even at the highest resolution. At 1440p, the same GPU reaches 158.4 fps on High and 257.7 fps on Low. At 1080p, the ceiling is much higher: 233.8 fps on High and 303 fps on Low.

The clock speed relationship is visible in the data. The GPU’s 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost clocks, combined with 21760 shading units, are paired with a CPU that boosts to 4.40 GHz. At lower resolutions, the measured FPS is high enough that CPU performance becomes less relevant, while at 4K the GPU's rendering workload dominates. The RTX 5090's aggregate GPU benchmark score is 84306, placing it in the 94th percentile among all GPUs. That component-level strength supports the high frame rates seen across Evolve's resolution and settings range.

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 160 |

Each resolution step carries a clear FPS cost. At 1440p, the Medium preset averages 197 fps, while the Ultra preset averages 109.4 fps. At 4K, Medium averages 114.3 fps and Ultra averages 65.1 fps. At 1080p, Medium averages 275.3 fps and Ultra averages 160 fps. These values give a complete picture of how the combo behaves across the tested configuration space.
