Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 3840x2160, the High preset yields 72 FPS, which is playable, but if the user desires higher frame rates, the Medium preset provides 92 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS. For 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended setting for a smoother experience, as it maintains a minimum above 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 126 FPS, which is excellent, but the Medium preset offers 161 FPS with a minimum of 137 FPS, making it the better choice for users with 144Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 87 FPS, which is still playable but lower. For 1920x1080, the High preset gives 188 FPS, which is good, but the Medium preset reaches 240 FPS with a minimum of 204 FPS, ensuring a fluid experience on high refresh rate displays. The Low preset at 1080p hits 310 FPS, which is optimal for competitive play, but the visual quality is reduced. The data suggests that the Medium settings are the sweet spot for this game, providing high frame rates while maintaining a reasonable visual experience. At 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended choice; at 1440p, the Medium preset also; and at 1080p, the Medium preset is recommended for the best experience. The Ultra preset is not recommended for any resolution due to the lower frame rates: 50 FPS at 4K, 87 FPS at 1440p, and 130 FPS at 1080p, which are all below the smoothness threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern across resolutions and settings. At 3840x2160 (4K), the Low preset yields an average of 118 FPS, which is surprisingly high for a 4K resolution. The Medium preset provides 92 FPS with a minimum of 78 and a maximum of 105. The High preset averages 72 FPS, and the Ultra preset only reaches 50 FPS. The data shows that at 4K, the difference between Low and High is 46 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor. The Ultra preset is not recommended for 4K gaming, as it drops below 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 208 FPS, which is excellent for high refresh rate monitors. The Medium preset provides 161 FPS with a minimum of 137 and a maximum of 185. The High preset yields 126 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 87 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 121 FPS, showing that the settings have a significant impact on performance. The Medium preset is a strong choice for 1440p, as it maintains high frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset reaches 310 FPS, which is the highest measured frame rate. The Medium preset provides 240 FPS with a minimum of 204 and a maximum of 276. The High preset yields 188 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 130 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 180 FPS, indicating that the CPU and GPU are not limiting at these settings. The Medium preset at 1080p is the best balance, providing 240 FPS with a solid minimum.

The data shows that the combo is capable of high frame rates at all resolutions, but the settings have a substantial effect on performance. At 4K, the user must choose between High and Medium for a playable experience, while at 1080p, the settings can be set to Medium for a smooth experience. The measured FPS is consistent, with no signs of stuttering, as the minimum FPS values are relatively high.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the primary component driving performance in Evolve. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, with a memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU is based on the AD103 chip and has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It also includes 66 RT cores and 264 Tensor cores, which are enabled for ray tracing and AI features. The GPU's raw compute performance is 44.10 TFLOPS for FP32.

In Evolve, the GPU's performance is critical at 4K resolution, where the 16 GB memory is sufficient for the game's textures. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the bottleneck, as the FPS drops from the 118 FPS Low to 50 FPS Ultra. The data shows that the GPU's memory bandwidth is adequate for the game, as the 4K High settings still achieve 72 FPS. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz is a key factor in its ability to sustain high frame rates. The GPU's passmark G3D score is 31811, which is the 76th percentile of all GPUs. The GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M5000, which has a score of 31206 (-0.4%), and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX with a score of 31676 (-1.9%). The GPU's average benchmark score is 31087, which is slightly below its rivals, but its performance in Evolve is enhanced by its high boost clock and memory bandwidth. The GPU's TDP is 285 W, and it is a triple-slot card with a 16-pin power connector, requiring a 600 W PSU. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6, which are compatible with Evolve's engine. The GPU's performance is also supported by its 44.10 TFLOPS compute power, which helps with high settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread processor with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. It is built on the Alder Lake architecture and has a 25 MB shared L3 cache. The CPU has a TDP of 125 W, and it supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its performance in Evolve is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU's performance is the limiting factor, as the FPS reaches 310 at Low settings, which is a high frame rate. The CPU's single-thread performance is strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1850.5 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2308. The multi-core performance is also good, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19784 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 15790. The CPU's average benchmark score is 35287, which is the 84th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-13600T (35305, -0.1%), the i7-12700KF (35365, -0.2%), the i7-13700T (35403, -0.3%), and the Intel Core 5 213PE (35428, -0.4%). The CPU's performance is sufficient for the game, as the measured FPS at 4K is dependent on the GPU, but at 1080p, the CPU is more involved. The CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads are ample for Evolve, which is not a highly threaded game. The single-thread performance is the most important, and the 12700K's boost clock of 5.00 GHz provides a strong foundation. The CPU's cache size, 25 MB of L3, helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for gaming. The CPU's scores across various benchmarks indicate that it is a high-end processor, and it is well-matched with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The CPU's performance in gaming is limited by its single-thread speed, which is high, and the data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck in the tested scenarios. The CPU's memory support for DDR4 and DDR5 is a plus, but the game's performance is more dependent on the GPU and CPU single-thread speed. The CPU's TDP of 125 W is manageable with a capable air cooler or liquid cooler, but the system does not show any thermal throttling in the data. The CPU's overall performance in Evolve is sufficient to achieve high frame rates, and the data suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor at any resolution.

The analysis shows that the Intel Core i7-12700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combo is a high-end solution for Evolve. The rank of 417th out of 3700 combos reflects its performance. The settings recommendations point to Medium as the best preset, providing a high frame rate with good visuals. The measured FPS across resolutions shows that the GPU is the primary driver at 4K, while the CPU has a role at lower resolutions. The GPU's 16 GB memory and high bandwidth are sufficient for the game, and the CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads provide no bottleneck. The hardware is well-suited for the game, and the data shows that it can handle the game at high settings with room for. The overall performance is strong, and the combo is a good choice for a high-refresh monitor at 1440p or 1080p, and it can handle 4K at Medium settings. The benchmark results are measured, and the data is reliable. The combo's rank and the FPS numbers demonstrate its capability. The system is a solid performer. The data is clear.
