Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Fivem, a multiplayer title that scales aggressively with GPU power. Measured data across three resolutions and four quality presets shows this combination rarely dips below the 60 FPS playability threshold, with average frame rates ranging from 66 FPS at 4K Ultra to 287 FPS at 1080p Low. The data indicates a system that is overqualified for most display configurations, offering headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors even at demanding settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4090 maintains strong performance across all presets. The Low preset produces an average of 135 FPS, while Medium reaches 106 FPS with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS. High settings average 85 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset still holds an average of 66 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 69 FPS, which represents a significant performance cost for maximum visual fidelity, yet even the lowest figure remains above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, frame rates increase substantially. Low settings achieve an average of 242 FPS, while Medium hits 191 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 220 FPS. High averages 153 FPS, and Ultra produces 119 FPS. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is notable: at Ultra, the average jumps from 66 FPS to 119 FPS, a gain of 53 FPS. At Low, the increase from 135 FPS to 242 FPS represents a 107 FPS improvement, indicating that Fivem becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution drops.

At 1920x1080, the combination becomes nearly unrestricted. Low settings yield an average of 287 FPS, while Medium delivers 263 FPS with a minimum of 224 FPS and a maximum of 303 FPS. High settings average 232 FPS, and Ultra still produces 180 FPS. The minimum frame rate recorded across all 1080p presets is 224 FPS at Medium, which means even the worst-case scenario in this dataset vastly exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 107 FPS, mirroring the delta seen between 4K Low and 1440p Low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a system where the GPU dominates performance scaling, but the CPU still matters at lower resolutions. At 4K, the RTX 4090 is the clear bottleneck: dropping from Ultra to Low increases average FPS from 66 to 135, a 2.05x improvement that reflects the GPU's workload reduction. The Ryzen 5 5600 with 6 cores and 12 threads provides sufficient throughput to keep the GPU fed, but the resolution-driven frame rate changes are almost entirely attributable to pixel count and shading load.

At 1440p and 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more visible. The Ryzen 5 5600's single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 882, passmark_single_thread score of 3256) supports high frame rates, but the scaling between 1440p and 1080p is not linear with pixel count alone. For example, 1440p Ultra averages 119 FPS while 1080p Ultra averages 180 FPS, a 51% increase despite a 44% reduction in pixels. This suggests diminishing GPU gains at lower resolutions, where the CPU's physics and draw-call processing begin to impose a ceiling. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 5641 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18309 indicate a mid-range CPU that can handle multiplayer scenarios with many entities, but it is not the limiting factor at 4K.

The preset scaling at each resolution further clarifies roles. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium only drops average FPS from 287 to 263 (8.4% reduction), while moving from Medium to Ultra drops it to 180 (31.6% reduction). This nonlinear response suggests that Ultra settings introduce GPU-intensive effects that outweigh CPU-related costs, whereas Low and Medium presets are partially CPU-limited at 1080p.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 66 FPS. This is the only resolution where the system approaches the threshold, but it still clears it by 6 FPS. High (85 FPS), Medium (106 FPS), and Low (135 FPS) also remain playable, but Ultra offers the highest visual quality without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, averaging 119 FPS. This gives substantial headroom above 60 FPS, allowing for smooth gameplay even in heavy multiplayer scenes. Medium (191 FPS) and High (153 FPS) are also viable, but Ultra provides the best visual experience with no risk of dropping below the threshold.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 180 FPS, making it the clear recommendation. The system can run the most demanding preset at nearly three times the playable threshold, which means users with high-refresh-rate monitors (144Hz or 240Hz) can take full advantage of the display. Lower presets like High (232 FPS), Medium (263 FPS), and Low (287 FPS) offer even higher frame rates, but they trade visual fidelity for marginal gains in smoothness that most players will not perceive.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Fivem, and it does so with exceptional margin. According to the verdictByResolution data, all four presets at all three tested resolutions are playable, meaning the average FPS never falls below 60. At 4K, the worst case is Ultra at 66 FPS average, which is above the playable threshold. At 1440p, all presets exceed 119 FPS, and at 1080p, all presets exceed 180 FPS. The combination ranks 173rd out of 3707 tested combos in this game, placing it in the top 5% of configurations.

The data shows no scenario where the user must compromise on settings or resolution to achieve playable frame rates. Even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains 66 FPS average, which is suitable for most displays. For competitive play on high-refresh monitors, 1440p or 1080p with Ultra settings delivers frame rates well above 100 FPS. The only caveat is that the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are excessive for Fivem's current requirements, indicating that this GPU is overprovisioned for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 5 5600 provide context for CPU performance. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V scores 20454 in average benchmark, a 0.1% delta from the Ryzen's 20468. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425 (0.2% delta), and the AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20422 (0.2% delta). These alternatives would produce nearly identical CPU-bound frame rates in Fivem, meaning any of them paired with the RTX 4090 would yield similar results at 4K where the GPU dominates.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show interesting clustering. The Intel Arc Pro A60 scores 60326 (0% delta from the RTX 4090's 60347), while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140 (0.3% delta). The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896, which is 2.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, which is 2.9% lower. In practice, these GPUs would produce frame rates within a few percent of the RTX 4090 in Fivem, though the professional-grade cards may lack the gaming optimizations of the GeForce lineup. The RTX 4090's 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates it outperforms the vast majority of hardware, and its nearest rivals are not typical gaming cards.
