Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 shows a consistent pattern: this combination delivers high average frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings. The database includes measurements at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, each with Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets. All figures represent average FPS, as minimum and maximum values were not recorded for this configuration.

At 1920x1080, the lowest preset yields the highest average at 196.8 FPS. Moving up through the settings ladder, Medium produces 182.4 FPS, High drops to 166.6 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a strong 154.7 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 42.1 FPS, which indicates that even the most demanding preset leaves substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the same ordering holds but with slightly lower absolute numbers. Low averages 174.1 FPS, Medium reaches 159.9 FPS, High lands at 145.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 119.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 54.3 FPS, a wider margin than at 1080p, suggesting that resolution scaling has a measurable impact on the upper end of the settings range.

At 3840x2160, the 4K results are the most telling. Low still produces a very playable 135.2 FPS, Medium drops to 104.2 FPS, High comes in at 86.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 66.5 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 68.7 FPS, the largest spread across all resolutions. Notably, even at Ultra with 4K resolution, the average remains above 60 FPS, which is a key finding for this combination.

The data reveals that the RTX 4090 is doing the heavy lifting in raw frame generation, while the Ryzen 5 2600, despite being an older six-core processor, does not bottleneck the GPU to the point of failing the playable threshold at any tested configuration. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is smooth and predictable, with each step down in resolution yielding higher averages across every preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this CPU and GPU pairing at position 656 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem. That places it in the upper quintile of all recorded combos, roughly in the 82nd percentile of tested systems. This is a strong showing for a processor that launched in 2018 paired with a GPU from 2022.

The rank reflects the reality that Fivem, being a multiplayer modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V, is not among the most demanding titles in the database. The RTX 4090's immense compute resources are somewhat underutilized by this game's engine, which explains why this combo ranks below where the GPU alone would suggest. The Ryzen 5 2600's single-thread performance, measured at 2239 in Passmark single-thread tests, is adequate but not exceptional, and the game's server-side logic can be sensitive to CPU throughput.

Compared to other combos in the database, being in the top 18% is notable but not dominant. The data shows that many newer CPUs paired with mid-range GPUs achieve similar or better Fivem performance because the game is not heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions. The fact that this combo still reaches 154.7 FPS at 1080p Ultra indicates that the RTX 4090 compensates for any CPU limitations in most scenarios.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates Fivem performance. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 42.1 FPS (196.8 versus 154.7). At 2560x1440, that difference grows to 54.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, it expands further to 68.7 FPS. This widening gap as resolution increases points to the GPU becoming more influential at higher pixel counts, which is expected given the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth.

Conversely, the CPU's role is most visible at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 196.8 FPS, which is likely near the engine's frame rate ceiling for this processor. The Ryzen 5 2600's 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost of 3.90 GHz, provide enough throughput for the game's simulation and networking layers, but the data implies that a faster CPU could push even higher frame rates at 1080p. However, the database does not include a comparison against a different CPU with the same GPU, so this remains an inference from the scaling pattern.

At 4K, the GPU takes over as the primary determinant. The RTX 4090's 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 16384 shading units drive the frame rates, and the CPU's influence diminishes. The fact that Ultra at 4K still hits 66.5 FPS, above the 60 FPS threshold, indicates that the GPU has enough headroom to compensate for the older CPU's limitations even in the most demanding preset.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Fivem, and it does so with room to spare. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: all four presets at all three resolutions clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best settings per resolution are Ultra everywhere, with average FPS of 154.7 at 1920x1080, 119.8 at 2560x1440, and 66.5 at 3840x2160.

For players who own a 1080p or 1440p monitor, this combination delivers an exceptionally fluid experience. Even at 4K Ultra, the average of 66.5 FPS is above the threshold, though it leaves less margin for dips in busy multiplayer scenes. The database does not record minimum FPS values, so transient stutters cannot be quantified, but the averages suggest a generally smooth experience.

The only caveat is that the Ryzen 5 2600, with its Passmark multithread score of 13160 and Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1248, is not a modern high-end processor. In heavily populated Fivem servers with many players and scripts, CPU-bound scenarios could cause frame rate drops that the averages do not capture. Still, based on the recorded data, this combo is playable at every tested setting.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide context for what other processors would behave similarly. The Intel Core Ultra 5 228V has an average benchmark score of 21440, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 2600's 21484. The Intel Core i9-11900H scores 21367, or 0.5% lower. The Intel Xeon D-1746TER scores 21635, which is 0.7% higher than the Ryzen. The AMD EPYC 9454 scores 21223, coming in 1.2% lower. These deltas are all within a narrow band, meaning any of these CPUs paired with an RTX 4090 would likely produce nearly identical Fivem frame rates.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The Intel Arc Pro A60 has an average score of 60326, essentially identical to the RTX 4090's 60347 with a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140, 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896, which is 2.5% higher. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, coming in 2.9% lower. These are professional workstation cards, but the benchmark scores indicate that they would deliver comparable Fivem performance to the RTX 4090 in this specific game, despite having very different specifications.

The practical takeaway is that swapping the Ryzen 5 2600 for any of its nearest rivals would not meaningfully change Fivem performance. Similarly, replacing the RTX 4090 with one of its nearest rivals would keep frame rates in the same range. This suggests that the combo's rank of 656 out of 3707 is stable across a cluster of similar hardware.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, and the average FPS at that preset is recorded in the verdict data.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 154.7 FPS. This leaves enormous headroom above the playable threshold, so players could also choose High (166.6 FPS) or Medium (182.4 FPS) for even higher frame rates on high refresh rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, Ultra remains the best choice with an average of 119.8 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS and still leaves room for demanding server environments. High at 145.6 FPS or Medium at 159.9 FPS are viable alternatives for those prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, Ultra still qualifies as the best settings with an average of 66.5 FPS. This is only 6.5 FPS above the threshold, so it is the least safe option. High at 86.9 FPS provides a more comfortable margin, and Medium at 104.2 FPS offers excellent visual quality with substantial headroom. For players who want maximum stability at 4K, Low at 135.2 FPS is the safest choice.
