Evolve

The Intel Core i5-12600KF and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination ranks 867th out of 1695 tested combos in Evolve, placing it just past the midpoint of the database. This pairing sits in the 51st percentile of all tested configurations, indicating that while it is not a top-tier setup for this title, it delivers a fundamentally solid experience that outpaces a slight majority of alternatives. The data shows a system that is clearly capable of handling Evolve’s demands, though its ranking suggests that users seeking the absolute highest frame rates would need to look toward more powerful hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 867 out of 1695 places it squarely in the middle of the pack, a position that reflects the balanced nature of the CPU and GPU pairing. The Intel Core i5-12600KF achieves an average benchmark score of 27827, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i9-10900K (deltaPct 0) and the Intel Core i5-12600K (deltaPct -0.1). This indicates that the processor is a strong performer, nearly identical in synthetic workloads to its direct competitors. Meanwhile, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT posts an average benchmark score of 35327, sitting in the 79th percentile of all GPUs, with the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (deltaPct 0.2) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (deltaPct -0.3) as its closest rivals.

In Evolve specifically, the mid-pack ranking suggests that the combination’s performance is limited more by the GPU than the CPU, as the processor’s percentile ranking is notably higher than the graphics card’s. The measured FPS data supports this interpretation: at 1920x1080, the combo achieves 201.1 FPS on Low settings, which is an excellent result, but this drops to 82.7 FPS on Ultra, showing that the GPU becomes the bottleneck as graphical demands increase. The ranking reflects a system that can handle competitive play at lower settings but struggles to maintain high frame rates at maximum quality, a common trait for mid-range hardware in a 2015-era title like Evolve.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT plays the critical role in determining Evolve’s performance, as its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is ample for Evolve’s textures and assets, even at 3840x2160, though the data shows that the GPU’s compute capabilities are the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The card operates with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz, and these clock speeds directly influence the measured FPS across all settings.

The GPU’s 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units, combined with 64 ROPs, deliver a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s. These specifications translate into the performance seen in the measured data: at 2560x1440, the combo achieves 84.4 FPS on High settings, but this drops to 55.2 FPS on Ultra. The card’s 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is sufficient for smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p, but the 33.6 FPS result at 3840x2160 on Ultra indicates that 4K gaming is only viable at lower settings, where the 75.5 FPS at Low shows the GPU can still deliver playable frame rates. The 40 ray tracing cores are present, though Evolve does not utilize this feature, meaning they have no impact on these results.

FAQ

Q: How does this combo perform at 1920x1080 for competitive play?

A: At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 201.1 FPS on Low settings and 123.5 FPS on High settings, making it highly suitable for fast-paced competitive play where frame rates above 120 FPS are desirable.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this setup in Evolve?

A: At 3840x2160, the combo achieves 75.5 FPS on Low settings and 45 FPS on High settings, but drops to 33.6 FPS on Ultra. This indicates that 4K is only playable at lower quality presets, with Ultra settings falling below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best resolution to balance visual quality and performance?

A: The data shows that 2560x1440 on High settings produces 84.4 FPS, which offers a strong balance of visual fidelity and smoothness. At this resolution, even Ultra settings maintain 55.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast action.

Q: How does the CPU’s performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Core i5-12600KF has an average benchmark score of 27827, which is essentially tied with the Intel Core i9-10900K (27829, deltaPct 0) and slightly behind the Intel Core i5-12600K (27851, deltaPct -0.1). In single-threaded workloads like 3dmark_single_thread, it scores 1016, while its multicore score in 3dmark_max_threads is 7952.

Q: What settings preset provides the highest frame rate at 2560x1440?

A: At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers the highest average frame rate at 133.8 FPS, followed by Medium at 106.5 FPS. High settings produce 84.4 FPS, while Ultra drops to 55.2 FPS.

Q: Does the GPU’s memory bandwidth affect performance in Evolve?

A: The 432.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth from the 12 GB GDDR6 configuration supports the texture-heavy environments of Evolve. The data shows that performance scales predictably with resolution, indicating that bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but becomes a limiting factor at 4K Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the user’s resolution and performance priorities. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 123.5 FPS, which is an excellent balance of visual quality and speed, while Low settings push to 201.1 FPS for maximum responsiveness. For users with 2560x1440 monitors, the High preset at 84.4 FPS is the recommended choice, as it maintains smooth gameplay without sacrificing too much visual detail; Medium settings at 106.5 FPS are also viable for those prioritizing higher frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes significantly. The Ultra preset produces only 33.6 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, while High settings at 45 FPS are borderline. The Low preset at 75.5 FPS is the only option that delivers consistently smooth performance at 4K, making it the recommended choice for 4K users. Overall, the data indicates that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can run High settings comfortably, while 4K requires a significant reduction in quality to maintain playable frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its highest frame rates: 201.1 FPS on Low, 153.5 FPS on Medium, 123.5 FPS on High, and 82.7 FPS on Ultra. This resolution shows the most significant scaling, with a 118.4 FPS difference between Low and Ultra settings, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at maximum quality.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but drops noticeably: 133.8 FPS on Low, 106.5 FPS on Medium, 84.4 FPS on High, and 55.2 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 78.6 FPS, reflecting the increased resolution’s impact on the GPU. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles at higher settings: 75.5 FPS on Low, 58.9 FPS on Medium, 45 FPS on High, and 33.6 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show a 41.9 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, with only the Low preset exceeding 60 FPS. Across all resolutions, the data shows a consistent pattern of diminishing returns as settings increase, with the most substantial performance drops occurring between Medium and Ultra presets. This breakdown highlights that the combo is most effective at 1080p and 1440p with High settings, where it delivers frame rates well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.
