CPU and GPU Roles

The RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, as evidenced by the scaling between resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 197. Moving to 2560x1440 Ultra reduces this to 130 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Ultra the average drops further to 72 FPS. This scaling pattern — a 34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a 44.6% reduction from 1440p to 4K — is characteristic of GPU-bound rendering, where the graphics card’s pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The CPU’s role becomes more apparent when examining the low-preset results. At 1920x1080 Low, the average FPS is 270, which is only 36.7% higher than the Ultra preset’s 197 FPS. This relatively modest gain from lowering settings suggests that at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5500’s 6-core, 12-thread configuration begins to factor into the equation. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429 and single-core score of 2319 indicate solid performance for a mid-range part, but Fivem’s multiplayer nature can create CPU-bound scenarios with many players and vehicles.

At 2560x1440, the gap between Low (235 FPS) and Ultra (130 FPS) widens to a 80.8% difference. This indicates the GPU is more heavily utilized at this resolution, and the RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 44065 places it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, confirming its position as a top-tier part.

The 3840x2160 results reinforce the GPU-centric nature of this combo. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 147, while Ultra drops to 72 FPS. The RTX 5090 D’s FP32 compute of 104.8 TFLOPS and 21760 shading units are clearly the primary drivers of performance here, as the resolution scaling demands massive increases in pixel and texture throughput.

These deltas are small enough that in practice, users of these GPUs paired with the Ryzen 5 5500 would experience nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. The Tesla P100 cards are datacenter-oriented parts, but their scores suggest they would handle Fivem similarly.

A system with the Ryzen 5 5500 and any of these rival GPUs would land within a narrow performance band. The measured FPS differences would be minimal — likely a few frames at most at any given resolution and preset. For example, at 2560x1440 Ultra, where the combo achieves 130 FPS, a GPU that is 1.1% faster would deliver approximately 131 FPS, while a GPU 2.4% faster would deliver approximately 133 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 270 FPS, which is the maximum measured in this configuration. Medium settings reduce this to 248 FPS, with a minimum of 210 FPS and a maximum of 285 FPS. High settings average 228 FPS, and Ultra averages 197 FPS. All presets at 1080p are far above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the lowest average (Ultra at 197 FPS) still tripling the requirement.
