Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a wide spread of measured performance in Fivem, from 250 FPS at 1080p Low down to 45 FPS at 4K Ultra. Across the 12 tested configurations, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on every preset at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, while 4K requires a settings compromise to Low or Medium. The data places this combo at rank 1048 out of 3707 tested systems, confirming a strong but not top-tier result for a multiplayer-focused game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average frame rate starts at 250 FPS on Low and steps down to 197 on Medium, 157 on High, and 122 on Ultra. The Medium preset also reports a minimum of 167 FPS and a maximum of 226 FPS, which shows that even the lowest frame is far above the playable threshold. The spread between Low and Ultra is 128 FPS, a wide margin that indicates the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution, but also that the CPU is capable of feeding it without becoming a bottleneck at the higher presets.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 164 FPS on Low, 130 on Medium, 104 on High, and 80 on Ultra. The Medium preset again records min/max data: a minimum of 110 FPS and a maximum of 149 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra narrows to 84 FPS, reflecting the increased GPU load at a higher pixel count. Even the least demanding preset at this resolution stays well above 100 FPS, suggesting the system is not heavily taxed at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 91 FPS on Low, 72 on Medium, 58 on High, and 45 on Ultra. The Medium preset reports a minimum of 61 FPS and a maximum of 83 FPS, which is the only 4K setting where the worst-case frame remains above 60 FPS. High and Ultra both fall below the threshold, with High averaging 58 FPS and Ultra 45 FPS. The 4K data clearly shows that the RTX 3080 is the limiting factor once the resolution is raised, as the CPU has already been shown to drive much higher frame rates at lower resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS differs by resolution. At 1920x1080, Ultra is the highest playable setting, delivering an average of 122 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains playable, averaging 80 FPS. At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Medium, with an average of 72 FPS; High falls to 58 FPS and Ultra to 45 FPS. For a 4K display, Medium is the only preset that both looks reasonable and stays above the 60 FPS threshold, with its 61 FPS minimum confirming that even dips are playable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The frame rate data shows a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the average is 250 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the dataset. At 1440p Low, the average is 164 FPS, and at 4K Low it is 91 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K at the same preset is more than half, from 250 to 91 FPS, which is consistent with the GPU becoming the primary limiting factor at higher pixel counts. The relative scaling between Low and Ultra is nearly constant across resolutions: the average at Low is approximately double the average at Ultra for each resolution. This suggests that the settings cost is independent of resolution, while the absolute frame rate is governed by the GPU.

The CPU's role is best seen at 1080p, where even the Low preset produces 250 FPS. That level of performance would not be achievable if the CPU were constrained by its 6 cores and 12 threads. The 250 FPS result at 1080p Low indicates that the Ryzen 5 5500 is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates, and the 122 FPS at 1080p Ultra further confirms that the CPU does not bottleneck the system at any tested preset in this resolution range. At 4K, the CPU is clearly not the limiting factor, as the frame rates are constrained by the GPU’s rendering throughput.

How This Combo Ranks

In the Fivem benchmark database, this exact CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1048th out of 3707 tested combinations. That places it in the upper third of all systems, which is a strong showing for a mid-generation Ryzen 5 with an RTX 3080. The CPU itself holds a 73rd percentile rank among all CPUs, while the GPU holds a 68th percentile rank among all GPUs. These component-level percentiles align well with the combined rank, indicating that neither part is dragging the system down. The 1048th position is not a top-tier result, but it is comfortably above the median of tested systems.

Similar Performance Alternatives

If the Ryzen 5 5500 were swapped for a near-equivalent CPU, the in-game performance would be nearly identical. The nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430, which scores 0.1% higher, the Intel Core i5-12500 at 0.4% higher, the Intel Core i7-10700F at 0.5% lower, and the Intel Core i5-11600KF at 0.7% higher. All of these CPUs fall within 0.7% of the Ryzen 5 5500’s average score, so a system built with any of them would produce frame rates within a few FPS of the measured values.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3080’s nearest rivals are the NVIDIA P106-100, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, and the AMD Radeon R9 M290X. Each of these GPUs scores between 0.3% and 0.4% higher than the RTX 3080 on the same average benchmark scale. As with the CPU, the differences are so small that swapping the GPU for any of these would produce essentially the same FPS in Fivem. The practical takeaway is that this combo sits in a dense performance cluster, where the exact component choice matters less than the overall balance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 without any compromises. At 1080p, every preset stays well above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 122 FPS and Low at 250 FPS. At 1440p, all presets remain above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 80 FPS and Low at 164 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system is only playable on Low (91 FPS) and Medium (72 FPS), while High and Ultra fall below the 60 FPS line. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, this is a fully capable setup. For 4K, a Medium preset is the recommended ceiling, and even then the minimum frame rate of 61 FPS sits right at the playable threshold.
