Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 presents a compelling mid-range combination for Fivem, a multiplayer title that is known for its variable load. The measured data shows a hardware pairing that scales predictably across resolutions, with the 1080p experience being the standout, while 4K requires significant setting compromises to maintain smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the data indicates that the Low preset is the only setting that keeps the average frame rate above the 60 FPS playable threshold, achieving 68.1 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 53.4 FPS, and High falls further to 45.6 FPS, while Ultra is the most demanding at 36.2 FPS. For 4K gaming, the choice is clear: to maintain fluidity, the user must select Low, as no other preset clears the 60 FPS bar.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the situation improves dramatically. The High preset delivers an average of 76.1 FPS, which is the most demanding setting that remains playable. While Ultra sits just below the threshold at 58.2 FPS, the Medium preset averages 96 FPS, and Low reaches 122.6 FPS. The optimal choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing performance is High, as it provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS requirement.

At 1920x1080, the hardware is fully unleashed. The Ultra preset, the most demanding option, still produces an average of 92.9 FPS, making it the best setting for this resolution. The lower presets offer even higher headroom, with High at 118.8 FPS, Medium at 147.6 FPS, and Low at 188.3 FPS. For users seeking the maximum visual quality, Ultra is not only playable but also leaves a substantial performance buffer.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals a clear shift in the balance of responsibility between the CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, suggesting that the CPU is likely the primary driver, as the GPU has less work to do. The gap between the Low preset (188.3 FPS) and Ultra (92.9 FPS) at this resolution shows a 95.4 FPS difference, indicating that the GPU is still being taxed by higher settings, but the CPU is more than capable of feeding it frames.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more prominent. The frame rates drop across all presets, with Low falling to 122.6 FPS and Ultra to 58.2 FPS. The performance delta between presets remains similar, but the overall reduction in FPS points to the GPU now being the limiting factor. The CPU’s role is still significant, but it is no longer the bottleneck.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant component. The frame rates are dramatically lower across the board, with Low at 68.1 FPS and Ultra at 36.2 FPS. The CPU's workload does not increase with resolution in the same way, meaning the RTX 4060 is struggling to maintain output. The data shows a 32.1 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K, which is smaller in absolute terms than at 1080p, but the impact is more severe because the starting point is lower. This indicates that for this game, the GPU is the critical factor at 4K, while the CPU is more influential at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 holds a rank of 2047 out of 3707 combos for Fivem. This places it in the 55th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it performs better than a slight majority of configurations. The data suggests this is a solidly mid-pack performer, not a top-tier powerhouse but also far from a weak setup.

The ranking indicates that while this combo can handle the game, many other hardware pairings in the database will yield higher frame rates. This is not a criticism of the components themselves, but rather a reflection of the competitive landscape of PC hardware. The 5600X is a capable CPU, and the 4060 is a modern GPU, but other combinations with more powerful CPUs and GPUs will naturally rank higher.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H offers a nearly identical average benchmark score of 21749, a mere 0.1% difference from the Ryzen 5 5600X's 21771. This suggests that in CPU-bound scenarios, the 4800H would behave very similarly. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U and Intel Core i7-11700 are also close, with scores of 21874 and 21891 respectively, showing a -0.5% delta, meaning they are slightly faster. The AMD EPYC 9554P, despite being a server chip, has a comparable score of 21899, also a -0.6% delta.

For the GPU, the comparisons are more surprising. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 has an average score of 17666, which is -0.2% relative to the RTX 4060's 17639, indicating near-identical performance in synthetic benchmarks. The AMD Radeon 780M, an integrated graphics solution, is 0.3% faster with a score of 17588. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 also show negligible differences at 0.5% and 0.7% respectively. This suggests that in terms of raw compute, the RTX 4060's performance level is matched by a wide range of older and newer hardware, though the feature set and drivers differ significantly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average frame rates are as follows: Low runs at 188.3 FPS, Medium at 147.6 FPS, High at 118.8 FPS, and Ultra at 92.9 FPS. All presets provide a smooth experience well above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 122.6 FPS, Medium at 96 FPS, High at 76.1 FPS, and Ultra at 58.2 FPS. The first three presets are playable, but Ultra falls just short of the 60 FPS target.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 68.1 FPS, Medium at 53.4 FPS, High at 45.6 FPS, and Ultra at 36.2 FPS. Only the Low preset manages to stay above the playable threshold.
