Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a wide performance envelope in Fivem, ranging from a demanding 4K experience to a high-refresh-rate 1080p setup. The measured data shows this combo is highly capable at standard resolutions, though 4K Ultra settings push it below the 60 FPS threshold. This analysis breaks down the exact frame rates, optimal settings, and component roles based strictly on the benchmark results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination of the Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 5060 produces excellent results across all presets. The average frame rate at Low settings is 200.3 FPS, which represents the absolute ceiling for this configuration at this resolution. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 160 FPS, still a very high level for competitive play. High settings yield an average of 125.4 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 100.2 FPS. The scaling between Low and Ultra shows a performance reduction of exactly 100.1 FPS, indicating that the graphics card has substantial headroom even when fully utilized.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains robust but begins to show the expected impact of increased pixel count. The Low preset delivers an average of 133.6 FPS, which is still well above the playable threshold. Medium settings produce an average of 102.3 FPS, and High settings achieve 84 FPS. The Ultra preset manages an average of 66.6 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS mark but with less margin than at 1080p. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 67 FPS, a smaller absolute gap than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU is becoming a more significant factor.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes dramatically. The Low preset is the only option that maintains a comfortable average, hitting 75 FPS. Medium settings drop to an average of 56.4 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. High settings average 45.7 FPS, and Ultra settings average just 36.7 FPS. The transition from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a 38.3 FPS reduction, and the data indicates that this resolution stresses the GPU far more than the CPU. The 8 GB GDDR7 memory buffer and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely contributing factors to this steep drop-off at higher presets.

The measured data includes only average frame rates, with no minimum or maximum values recorded for any preset or resolution. This means the analysis relies solely on mean performance, which can mask occasional stutters or frame-time spikes. However, the consistency of the averages across multiple presets suggests a stable performance profile for this game.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 100.2 FPS. This is the clear choice for maximizing visual quality without sacrificing playability. The data shows that all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold at this resolution, so users can prioritize visuals without concern.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also achieves the best balance, with an average of 66.6 FPS. While this is above the 60 FPS threshold, the margin is narrower than at 1080p. The High preset, averaging 84 FPS, offers a more comfortable buffer for users who prefer consistent frame rates over maximum visual fidelity. The verdict data confirms that all four presets are playable at 1440p, but Ultra is the recommended setting for those who want the highest quality.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more restrictive. The only preset that meets the 60 FPS playable threshold is Low, with an average of 75 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 56.4, 45.7, and 36.7 FPS, respectively. For 4K gaming, users must accept Low settings to maintain smooth performance, or they must be willing to tolerate frame rates below the playable threshold.

These GPUs would exhibit very similar performance characteristics in Fivem, though the RTX 5060's 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 128-bit bus are specific to this model.

For the full combo, the benchmark rank of 1660 out of 3707 tested configurations places this pairing in the 55th percentile of all tested combos for Fivem. This indicates that while it is a solid performer, there are many faster combinations available. The data shows that the RTX 5060's GPU benchmark score of 26331 is roughly 1.34 times the CPU's average score of 19593, suggesting a balanced pairing for this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination ranks 1660 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the upper half of all tested configurations, specifically at the 55.2% mark. The rank reflects the combo's ability to handle the game across multiple resolutions, with strong performance at 1080p and 1440p but limitations at 4K Ultra. The GPU's 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs is higher than the CPU's 73rd percentile ranking, indicating that the graphics card is slightly more capable relative to its peers. This suggests that the GPU is the more influential component in determining overall game performance, particularly at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the combo achieves 100.2 FPS on Ultra, which is 67% above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, the Ultra average of 66.6 FPS is just 11% above the threshold, showing a tighter margin. At 4K, only the Low preset clears the threshold with 75 FPS, which is 25% above the minimum. This progression illustrates how the combo's rank is driven by its ability to maintain playable frame rates as resolution increases, with the 4K results being the primary limitation.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem at 60 FPS or above at both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 across all presets. The verdict data confirms that at 1080p, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 100.2 FPS, and at 1440p, the best settings are also Ultra with an average of 66.6 FPS. For 4K, the situation is more constrained: the only playable preset is Low, which achieves 75 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra at 4K all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 56.4, 45.7, and 36.7 FPS, respectively.

For users targeting 1080p or 1440p, this combo is a strong choice, delivering high frame rates at maximum settings. For 4K, users must compromise on visual quality, selecting Low settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The 8 GB GDDR7 memory may also be a limiting factor at 4K with higher presets, though the measured data does not isolate this variable. Overall, the verdict is clear: this system excels at mainstream resolutions but struggles with 4K Ultra.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU plays a more significant role as resolution increases. At 1080p, the combo achieves 200.3 FPS on Low settings, which suggests the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates when the GPU is not heavily loaded. The Ryzen 5 5500's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429 and single-core score of 2319 indicate a strong processor for gaming, and the 6-core, 12-thread configuration is well-suited to Fivem's multi-threaded nature.

As resolution increases to 1440p, the GPU becomes more important. The frame rate drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 67 FPS, compared to a 100.1 FPS drop at 1080p. This smaller absolute difference suggests that the GPU is beginning to saturate its capabilities, while the CPU still has headroom. At 4K, the GPU's dominance is clear: the frame rate drops from 75 FPS on Low to 36.7 FPS on Ultra, a 38.3 FPS reduction. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 5060's 19.18 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are the primary constraints at this resolution.

The CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low, where the combo achieves 200.3 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the Ryzen 5 5500 can keep up with the GPU's output, even at very high frame rates. The CPU's average benchmark score of 19593 and its 73rd percentile ranking support this, showing it is a capable processor for this game. However, at 4K, the CPU's performance becomes less relevant, as the GPU is the limiting factor. The scaling between resolutions—from 200.3 FPS at 1080p Low to 75 FPS at 4K Low—shows a 62.5% reduction, which is primarily attributable to the GPU's rendering load. In summary, the CPU drives performance at lower resolutions, while the GPU dominates at higher resolutions, with the crossover point occurring somewhere between 1440p and 4K.
