Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for Fivem span three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 248.8 FPS on Low, 196.1 FPS on Medium, 159.3 FPS on High, and 123.7 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 50.3% reduction in frame rate, but even the most demanding preset remains far above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers drop predictably. Low settings produce 165 FPS, Medium yields 126.9 FPS, High reaches 100.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 79.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 85.1 FPS, or 51.6% of the Low figure. Every preset clears 60 FPS by a comfortable margin, with the smallest headroom being 19.9 FPS at Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings still deliver a strong 91.3 FPS, and Medium manages 72.5 FPS. However, High falls to 55.2 FPS and Ultra drops to 42.5 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 48.8 FPS, representing a 53.4% decrease. This resolution exposes the RTX 3080's 10 GB GDDR6X memory and 320-bit bus limitations, as the frame rate collapses when texture quality increases beyond Medium.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the performance delta between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 125.1 FPS. At 1440p, it is 85.1 FPS. At 4K, it is 48.8 FPS. This indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU's 6-core/12-thread configuration has ample headroom to drive high frame rates at lower resolutions.

The Verdict

This system can run Fivem at 60 FPS or above at 1080p and 1440p with every settings preset. At 1920x1080, the lowest measured average is 123.7 FPS on Ultra, providing 63.7 FPS of headroom over the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra yields 79.9 FPS, which is 19.9 FPS above the threshold. Both resolutions offer a fully playable experience with no compromises required.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is conditional. Low settings (91.3 FPS) and Medium settings (72.5 FPS) both clear 60 FPS, making 4K playable. High settings (55.2 FPS) and Ultra settings (42.5 FPS) fall short. For 4K gaming, the user must accept Medium as the maximum quality preset. The best settings at 4K are Medium, which delivers 72.5 FPS on average.

The overall verdict is that this PC is a capable Fivem machine. It excels at 1080p and 1440p, where it can push well beyond 60 FPS even at maximum quality. At 4K, it remains playable but requires a reduction from Ultra to Medium settings to maintain smooth frame rates. The system ranks 1090 out of 3707 combos, placing it in the top 29.4% of tested configurations for this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a distinct shift in bottleneck behavior across resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance is the limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 5600's 3dmark single-thread score of 882 and passmark single-thread score of 3256 allow it to drive 248.8 FPS on Low settings, but the frame rate drops to 123.7 FPS on Ultra. This 50.3% reduction is caused by the GPU becoming more heavily loaded with pixel shading and texture work, but the CPU still has to feed the render pipeline fast enough.

At 1440p, the GPU starts to take on a larger role. The difference between Low (165 FPS) and Ultra (79.9 FPS) is 85.1 FPS, which is a larger absolute gap than at 1080p but a similar percentage. The CPU is still capable of pushing high frame rates, as evidenced by the 165 FPS at Low settings, but the GPU's workload at Ultra begins to constrain the output.

At 4K, the GPU is unequivocally the dominant factor. The RTX 3080's 10 GB VRAM and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are stretched thin at 3840x2160. The frame rate drops from 91.3 FPS at Low to 42.5 FPS at Ultra, a 53.4% reduction. The CPU's role diminishes because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to saturate the CPU's capabilities. The 12-thread processor has headroom to spare at 4K, as multiplayer logic and physics simulation are not the primary bottleneck.

The scaling between presets confirms this. At 1080p, the CPU's multicore performance (cinebench R23 multicore score of 18309) ensures that even the most demanding frame rates are achievable. At 4K, the GPU's raw compute (29.77 TFLOPS FP32) and memory bandwidth determine the outcome. For Fivem, which is a multiplayer title with dynamic player counts, the CPU's consistent performance across resolutions is valuable, but the GPU's VRAM capacity becomes the deciding factor at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 123.7 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, and it provides 63.7 FPS of headroom above the playable threshold. Users can confidently enable every visual option without concern for frame rate drops.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also remain playable, delivering 79.9 FPS. This is 19.9 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The system has enough spare performance to handle the dynamic nature of multiplayer lobbies, where player count and script activity can cause transient frame rate dips. The 79.9 FPS average provides a safety margin.

At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Medium, which averages 72.5 FPS. This is 12.5 FPS above the threshold. Low settings would provide more headroom at 91.3 FPS, but Medium offers a better visual experience while still maintaining playability. High (55.2 FPS) and Ultra (42.5 FPS) are not viable options at 4K, as both fall below 60 FPS.

The recommended configurations are straightforward: Ultra at 1080p and 1440p, and Medium at 4K. These settings maximize visual quality while ensuring the frame rate stays above the playable threshold. The 4K Medium setting is the only compromise required from this hardware combination, and it still delivers a smooth experience in Fivem.
