Fivem

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers exceptional performance across all tested resolutions and settings in Fivem. The data shows a clear pattern: this combination exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested, with headroom ranging from marginal at 4K Ultra to massive at 1080p Low.

3840x2160 (4K): At the highest resolution, the RTX 5080 maintains strong frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 128.7 FPS, while Medium settings yield 104 FPS. High settings drop to 83.2 FPS, and Ultra settings bring the average down to 61.5 FPS — still above the 60 FPS threshold, though with the least margin of any configuration tested. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a drop of 67.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the dominant factor at this resolution, with each preset tier exacting a significant performance cost.

2560x1440 (1440p): Performance at 1440p shows substantial improvement over 4K. Low settings average 234.4 FPS, Medium settings reach 182.8 FPS, and High settings deliver 147.8 FPS. Ultra settings still manage 112.9 FPS, which is nearly double the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 121.5 FPS, demonstrating that even the most demanding preset leaves considerable performance on the table.

1920x1080 (1080p): At 1080p, the system operates in extremely high frame rate territory. Low settings average 298.6 FPS, Medium settings produce 272.4 FPS, and High settings reach 221.1 FPS. Ultra settings still deliver 169.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 129.1 FPS, the largest absolute drop across all resolutions, yet even the lowest result at this resolution is nearly three times the playable threshold.

Across all resolutions, the delta between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution decreases: 67.2 FPS at 4K, 121.5 FPS at 1440p, and 129.1 FPS at 1080p. This pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU becomes more capable of feeding frames to the GPU, allowing the graphics card to fully stretch its legs at lower presets.

# Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provides context for what other hardware would produce similar results in Fivem.

CPU alternatives: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X has an average benchmark score of 21771. The closest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H scores 21749, just 0.1% behind; the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U scores 21874, 0.5% ahead; the Intel Core i7-11700 scores 21891, 0.5% ahead; and the AMD EPYC 9554P scores 21899, 0.6% ahead. These deltas are negligible in real-world gaming terms, meaning any of these processors would deliver effectively identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the RTX 5080. The Intel Core i7-11700 is particularly notable as a desktop equivalent that would slot into a similar build without meaningful performance differences.

GPU alternatives: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has an average benchmark score of 56083. The nearest rivals show slightly wider variation: the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, 0.6% behind; the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, 0.7% behind; the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, 2.3% behind; and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, 2.2% ahead. The RX 9070 GRE is the only rival that outperforms the RTX 5080, and only by a small margin. The Radeon 8060S and RX 6750 GRE would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, while the Pro W5700X would be slightly slower.

For a full system perspective, pairing any of the CPU rivals with any of the GPU rivals would yield frame rates within a few percentage points of the tested configuration. The tight clustering of scores across both components means that Fivem is not particularly sensitive to the specific hardware choices within these performance bands.

# The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem with clear authority. The verdict data confirms that all four settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at every resolution tested, with all average frame rates at or above 61.5 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system clears 60 FPS at all presets, with Ultra averaging 61.5 FPS. This is the only resolution where the margin is tight; players seeking consistent performance above 60 FPS should consider High settings at 83.2 FPS for additional headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings average 112.9 FPS, nearly double the playable threshold. All presets at this resolution deliver well above 60 FPS, with even the most demanding settings leaving substantial performance in reserve.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 169.5 FPS, and Low settings reach 298.6 FPS. This resolution is entirely comfortable for high-refresh-rate displays, with no preset dropping below 169 FPS.

The overall ranking of 203rd out of 3707 tested combinations places this system in the upper tier of configurations for Fivem. The CPU's 75th percentile and GPU's 87th percentile rankings support the conclusion that this is a high-performing combination, though not the absolute top-tier setup available.

# CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions and presets in Fivem.

Resolution scaling: The performance difference between 1080p and 4K is substantial at every preset. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 169.5 FPS at 1080p to 112.9 FPS at 1440p to 61.5 FPS at 4K. This progression indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as resolution increases, while the CPU's workload remains relatively constant. The RTX 5080's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient at all resolutions, but the raw compute load at 4K pushes the GPU harder.

Preset scaling: The performance cost of increasing settings varies by resolution. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs 129.1 FPS; at 1440p, the same settings change costs 121.5 FPS; at 4K, it costs 67.2 FPS. This pattern suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU can feed frames fast enough for the GPU to fully express the performance difference between presets. At 4K, the GPU is already heavily loaded even at Low settings (128.7 FPS), so the incremental cost of each preset tier is compressed.

Component dominance: At 1080p Low, the 298.6 FPS result approaches the practical limit of what the Ryzen 5 5600X can sustain in Fivem. The CPU's single-thread score of 3364 in Passmark and 1541 in Cinebench R23 indicates strong per-core performance, but the game's multiplayer nature likely introduces CPU overhead that caps frame rates below what the GPU could theoretically deliver. At 4K Ultra, the 61.5 FPS result shows the GPU is the limiting factor, as the same CPU easily drives 128.7 FPS at 4K Low.

The practical takeaway: at 1080p, the CPU is the primary constraint; at 4K, the GPU dominates; at 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU but the CPU still contributes meaningfully to frame rates. The RTX 5080's 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 84 RT cores are more than adequate for Fivem's rendering demands, while the Ryzen 5 5600X's 6 cores and 12 threads provide sufficient processing power for the game's simulation and networking workloads.

# Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average at each resolution:

3840x2160: Ultra settings at 61.5 FPS is the best playable preset. However, the 1.5 FPS margin above the threshold is minimal. High settings at 83.2 FPS provide a more comfortable buffer for multiplayer scenarios where frame times may spike. Players prioritizing stable performance over maximum visual quality should consider High; those accepting the risk of occasional drops below 60 FPS can run Ultra.

2560x1440: Ultra settings at 112.9 FPS is the clear choice. This delivers near-double the 60 FPS threshold with maximum visual quality. The large margin means even demanding multiplayer moments with many players or heavy effects should remain comfortably above 60 FPS. No settings compromise is necessary at this resolution.

1920x1080: Ultra settings at 169.5 FPS is the best playable preset. This is nearly triple the 60 FPS threshold, providing exceptional smoothness on high-refresh-rate displays. The system has so much performance headroom at 1080p that even the most demanding preset leaves performance to spare. Players with 144Hz or 240Hz monitors will be able to take full advantage of their display's capabilities.
