Summary tanks
Evolve is developed by the same studio that originally invented the popular Left 4 Dead, which is particularly noticeable on large coop focus. Aged graphics engine Source, however, scrapped for much more modern CryEngine 4, known from Ryse and upcoming Star Citizen.

Despite this, the game is relatively easy run, even when controls turned up to max. Anyone who is willing to compromise on image quality can easily be dragging around Evolve on a graphics card in the middle class, and a faster version can handle 60 fps in most situations.

Evolve
Otherwise feels Evolve after the daily fresh update fairly well polished, especially set against the wretched launch standard for many titles. The game does not crash during vBulletin tests and offer nor on some serious weirdness.

The frame rate is consistent with generally good render times, and subjective, few unexpected performance dips. The exception is possibly the GeForce-based graphics cards perform worse than expected, especially considering that it is about a Gameworks title. There may be some hidden bug or other hassles that can be addressed going forward.

On the whole, however, the eager monster hunter is not really very technical which prevents further adventures. Load the gun, gillra traps and get out on Goliath-hunting!

So another GameWorks title and another game that runs well on AMD. Good to see that a company "can" use GameWorks and get it running well on AMD.

Still not buying into the gameworks conspiracy myself. Yet.

What games are there that use it, that run badly on AMD, that run well on Nvidia at the same time?

Edit: and thanks for fixing the images - they were making my eyes bleed :D

Don't judge the game on the previously available beta, there is so much more in the full version. My son has been raving about it and playing nonstop since it launched.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion on the game, but just as myself I don't think much of counter strike, it doesn't make it a rubbish game.

Run bad on both, but as long as they run worse on AMD then the job is done, because no matter how bad it runs, people will still want to use the card that it runs the best on even if its still bad, gets users to go from old NV and AMD cards alike to go 970/980.

Ahhh ok. Well, from the first GameWorks title (which is Batman Arkham Origins), it seems that they can optimise it very well and it runs so quick on AMD, that a 290X is top of our bench table. Then you get games like FarCry 4 that doesn't run very well on nVidia or AMD for the most and then you get a GameWorks title like TitanFall that plays well on both.

Too many people blame GameWorks or nVidia and I tend to look at the publisher and blame them. GameWorks is a set of libraries that were made to help out the game devs and free up valuble time. As can be seen, the effects are great and some of the games look awesome but seems that some publishers look at it as a time saver and release the game flat out broken and look for as much revenue as possible.

Still, AMD fanboys will continue to blame nVidia I guess (funny to me) instead of looking a bit deeper. AMD have not exactly been on the ball recently with drivers and a few games still need optimised drivers and crossfire profiles and I don't see these same people blaming AMD for being lazy :D
 
To be fair it doesn't really have any gameworks features according to Nvidia at least.

Im blaming All parties involved.
UBIsoft, NV and GameWorks because the black box nature does not help matters in any way.

UBIsoft and NV are peas in a pod they really do deserve each others and while AMD has not been all the ball with driver release cycle, NV has not been on the ball with quality.
