Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 shows a clear hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the combination delivers an average of 44 FPS on High settings, 69 FPS on Low, 54 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS, and 34 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result falls well below the 60 FPS playable threshold, while the Low preset is the only setting at this resolution that comfortably clears it.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same hardware produces 78 FPS on High, 124 FPS on Low, 98 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS, and 61 FPS on Ultra. Every preset at this resolution stays at or above the 60 FPS mark, though Ultra only barely crosses it. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 63 FPS, showing that the settings scaling has a substantial impact on frame delivery.

At 1920x1080, the results are broadly smooth across the board. The combo reaches 119 FPS on High, 189 FPS on Low, 149 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS, and 92 FPS on Ultra. The 1080p Ultra result is the most demanding configuration tested at this resolution, yet it still delivers nearly 50% headroom above the playable threshold. The Low preset at 1080p is the single highest average FPS recorded in the entire dataset at 189 FPS, indicating that the combination scales well when graphical load is reduced.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the RTX 4060 is the dominant factor at lower resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 2600 becomes more influential as resolution rises. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 92 to 189 depending on the preset, which suggests that the GPU is not the limiting factor even at Ultra settings, given the large headroom above 60 FPS. The jump from 1080p Low (189 FPS) to 1440p Low (124 FPS) is a 65 FPS drop, and from 1080p Ultra (92 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (61 FPS) is a 31 FPS drop, indicating that pixel count heavily taxes the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset lands at 61 FPS, which is barely above the playable threshold. This suggests that the GPU is nearing its practical ceiling for this game at this resolution with maximum settings. At 3840x2160, the situation reverses further: even the Medium preset only averages 54 FPS, and High drops to 44 FPS, while Ultra falls to 34 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings (78 to 44 FPS) is a 44% reduction, and at Ultra settings (61 to 34 FPS) is a 44% reduction as well, which points to the GPU being the primary constraint at 4K.

The Ryzen 5 2600, with its six cores and twelve threads, shows adequate headroom in this dataset. The fact that 1080p Low reaches 189 FPS and 1440p Low reaches 124 FPS indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU enough frames at lower graphical loads. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, as the frame rates drop proportionally more with each preset increase, while the CPU load likely stays relatively constant. The recorded data does not include separate CPU utilization figures, but the FPS scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions and a more balanced distribution at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 1993 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 54th percentile of all recorded pairings. This is a mid-table position, meaning that roughly half of the tested configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this specific game. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's modest single-thread performance and the GPU's strong rasterization capabilities.

For context, the CPU alone sits at the 75th percentile against all CPUs in the database, while the GPU sits at the 61st percentile against all GPUs. The combo rank being lower than both individual percentiles suggests that Fivem's performance is sensitive to the interaction between the two components, and that the CPU may be holding the GPU back in certain scenarios. The rank of 1993 out of 3707 indicates that there are many combinations with faster processors that would push the RTX 4060 further, particularly at 1080p where the CPU has more room to influence frame delivery.

The measured FPS data supports this interpretation. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 92 FPS, which is respectable but not exceptional for a GPU of this class. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 61 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 34 FPS. These results are consistent with a pairing where the GPU is capable but the CPU limits peak frame rates in lighter loads. The database's playable threshold is 60 FPS, and this combo crosses it at 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra, but fails at 4K Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 5 2600 in the database are processors with comparable average benchmark scores. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V scores 21440, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 2600's 21484 average, a negligible difference. The Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367, which is 0.5% lower. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, which is 0.7% higher, and the AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, which is 1.2% lower. These deltas are all within a narrow band, meaning that swapping the Ryzen 5 2600 for any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical performance in Fivem, assuming the same RTX 4060 is used.

For the GPU side, the RTX 4060's nearest rivals are older or integrated solutions with similar average benchmark scores. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, which is 0.2% higher than the RTX 4060's 17639 average. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, which is 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, which is 0.5% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, which is 0.7% lower. These comparisons are based on aggregate benchmark scores, not Fivem-specific frame rates, so the actual in-game performance could vary, but the database indicates that these GPUs fall within a similar performance envelope.

In practical terms, a user with an RTX 4060 paired with any of the listed CPU rivals would see FPS numbers within a few percentage points of the recorded values. Likewise, a user with a Ryzen 5 2600 paired with a Radeon 780M or Radeon Pro 560 would likely experience similar frame rates in Fivem, though the integrated nature of the 780M and the older architecture of the HD 7790 could introduce differences not captured by the aggregate scores.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Low, which delivers 69 FPS. The Medium preset averages 54 FPS, High averages 44 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS, so none of those higher presets meet the playable threshold at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 61 FPS. High averages 78 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS, and Low averages 124 FPS, so the user has full freedom to choose settings at this resolution, with Ultra being the only one that is marginal.

At 1920x1080, the same situation applies: all presets are playable, and the most demanding preset is Ultra, which averages 92 FPS. High averages 119 FPS, Medium averages 149 FPS, and Low averages 189 FPS. The 1080p Ultra result provides a comfortable 32 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a safe choice for smooth gameplay.
