Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with this AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination covers three resolutions and four quality presets. The database only records average FPS values for this title; minimum and maximum frame rate data are not available in the measured set.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. The Low preset averages 145.4 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this configuration. Medium settings drop to 117.2 FPS, while High runs at 90.4 FPS. The most demanding preset at this resolution, Ultra, still produces 70.9 FPS, keeping the experience comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales down in a predictable manner. Low averages 95.2 FPS, Medium drops to 75.4 FPS, and High settles at 60.8 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the playability threshold at 47.9 FPS, which is the only sub-60 result at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the configuration struggles to maintain playable frame rates across all presets. Low averages 50.8 FPS, Medium drops to 42.6 FPS, High manages 32.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 24.1 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach the 60 FPS threshold, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay with this hardware.

The scaling pattern between presets is consistent. At 1080p, shifting from Low to Ultra costs roughly half the frame rate, going from 145.4 down to 70.9 FPS. At 1440p, the same preset range sees a drop from 95.2 to 47.9 FPS. At 4K, the range tightens in absolute terms but the percentage loss is similar, from 50.8 down to 24.1 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear shift in component responsibility as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that both the CPU and GPU have headroom, but the gap between Low and Ultra (145.4 versus 70.9 FPS) indicates that the GPU is doing substantial work as settings increase. The CPU, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 part with a 3.40 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clock, provides enough thread throughput for the multiplayer simulation aspects of Fivem.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more clearly the limiting factor. The RTX 2060, with its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus, delivers 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The measured scaling shows that going from 1080p to 1440p at High settings costs roughly 33% of the frame rate (90.4 down to 60.8 FPS). This is a typical resolution penalty for a mid-range GPU, indicating that the graphics card is now the primary constraint.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is heavily overloaded. The RTX 2060 only manages 32.7 FPS at High settings, which is less than half of the 1440p result. The CPU has much less influence here; even at Low settings, the 4K result of 50.8 FPS is well below the 1440p Low result of 95.2 FPS. This suggests that pixel throughput, not processor compute, is the bottleneck at 4K.

The benchmark data for the CPU reinforces that it is not the weak link. The Ryzen 7 5700X scores 6858 in 3DMark 16-thread tests and 921 in single-thread tests. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13184 and single-core score of 1499 place it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. For a multiplayer title like Fivem, which often has variable CPU load from other players and server-side scripting, this processor provides ample margin.

The RTX 2060 sits in the 58th percentile of all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 14111. Its compute score of 5488 in PassMark GPU Compute indicates solid general capability, but the 4K results show that it lacks the raw fill rate and bandwidth for ultra-high-resolution gaming. The GPU's pixel rate of 80.64 GPixel/s and texture rate of 201.6 GTexel/s are the relevant figures here, and they are simply insufficient for 3840x2160 at acceptable frame rates.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are the Ultra preset, which averages 70.9 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available, and it clears the playability threshold with approximately 11 FPS of headroom. All four presets at this resolution are playable, so users can choose based on visual preference rather than performance necessity.

At 2560x1440, the best playable settings are High, which averages 60.8 FPS. This is a tight margin above the 60 FPS threshold, so users who want more stability might prefer Medium at 75.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 47.9 FPS is not recommended for 1440p gaming on this hardware.

At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The closest result is Low at 50.8 FPS, which is nearly 10 FPS short of the threshold. This resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay with this CPU and GPU combination, regardless of preset selection.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, the 1080p Low preset at 145.4 FPS offers a high-refresh-rate experience. The 1440p Low preset at 95.2 FPS is also a strong option for competitive play where responsiveness matters more than detail.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU nearest rivals show that this Ryzen 7 5700X performs nearly identically to several other processors. The Intel Core i5-12600K matches the average benchmark score exactly at 27578 with a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is 0.2% ahead at 27636, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.2% behind at 27535. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is 0.3% ahead at 27507. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Fivem, so the choice between them comes down to platform features rather than gaming performance.

The GPU nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 with a 0% delta at 15283, the AMD Radeon 680M at 0.1% ahead with 15270, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM at 0.6% ahead with 15199, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 at 0.8% ahead with 15171. These results are remarkably close, within a 0.8% band. Users with any of these GPUs should expect similar Fivem performance to the RTX 2060, though architectural differences might cause minor variance in specific scenes.

The combo rank in the database is 2953 out of 3707 tested combinations, placing this setup in the lower third of all recorded CPU and GPU pairings. This is consistent with the mid-range positioning of the RTX 2060, which was released in 2019 and is now end-of-life, paired with a newer but still mainstream Ryzen 7 5700X.
