Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 presents a specific performance profile in Fivem, a title that is heavily dependent on both CPU and GPU resources depending on the resolution and settings. The measured data reveals a system that is capable at 1080p but struggles significantly as resolution increases, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck in demanding scenarios. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across all configurations to detail where this combo excels and where it falls short.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and dramatic decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 74.5 FPS, which is the highest score in the entire dataset. This suggests that at this resolution and setting, the system has enough headroom to push a playable frame rate. However, the frame rate drops precipitously when moving to 4K. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average FPS falls to 29.4, a reduction of more than half from the 1080p Low result. This steep drop indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth demands outstrip what the RX 570 can provide.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly telling. At 2560x1440 with High settings, the average is 32.7 FPS, but at 3840x2160 with the same High settings, it falls to 14.6 FPS. That is a 55% performance loss from increasing the resolution by roughly 2.25 times the pixel count. This pattern is consistent across all settings, showing that the RX 570's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are simply overwhelmed at 4K. The data suggests that this resolution is not viable for any setting, as even the Low preset only manages 29.4 FPS, which is below a smooth 30 FPS threshold. The limiting factor at 4K is unambiguously the GPU, as the CPU's role diminishes when the system is bottlenecked by pixel throughput.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the dominant factor in this combo's performance, especially at higher resolutions. With a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz, the GPU is operating with a modest frequency that limits its raw compute power. The 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s, which is adequate for 1080p but becomes a significant constraint at 1440p and 4K. The benchmark results show the GPU's overall capability with an average benchmark score of 30158, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (0.2% ahead), AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (0.2% ahead), and NVIDIA Tesla M60 (0.6% ahead), which indicates that the RX 570's raw compute score is competitive with much newer architectures, but this does not translate to high-resolution gaming performance.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is clearly defined by the resolution scaling. At 1080p, the GPU can handle the load, and the system is more balanced. At 2560x1440, the frame rates become inconsistent, ranging from 23.6 FPS on Ultra to 48.4 FPS on Low. This shows that the GPU is struggling to maintain high frame rates as the pixel count increases, and the Ultra setting at 1440p is nearly unplayable. The 4K results are conclusive: the GPU is the sole bottleneck, and the data indicates that no setting adjustment can salvage a playable experience at this resolution. The card's 150 W TDP and 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are simply not sufficient for the demands of Fivem at 4K.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings for this combo to achieve over 60 FPS?

A: The only configuration that averages above 60 FPS is 1920x1080 with Low settings, which produces 74.5 FPS. The next closest is 1920x1080 with Medium settings at 58.8 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS mark.

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K with the highest settings?

A: At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 16.8. Even with Low settings at 4K, the average only reaches 29.4 FPS, indicating that 4K is not a viable resolution for this hardware.

Q: Is there a significant performance difference between Low and High settings at 1080p?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080, the average FPS drops from 74.5 on Low to 49.9 on High, a difference of 24.6 FPS. This shows a substantial performance cost for higher visual fidelity.

Q: What is the frame rate impact of moving from 1080p to 1440p at Medium settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average FPS is 58.8. At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the average FPS drops to 41.7. This represents a 29% reduction in performance when moving up in resolution.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested combinations in Fivem?

A: The combo ranks 1703 out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom 5% of all configurations tested for this game.

Q: Which component is more important for improving performance at 4K?

A: The data strongly indicates the GPU. The RX 570's scores in synthetic benchmarks, such as 880 in 3DMark Steel Nomad, are low, and its 4 GB memory capacity is insufficient for 4K textures, leading to the dramatic FPS drops seen at that resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels.

At 1920x1080, the combo shows its best performance. The Low setting yields an average of 74.5 FPS, making it the only playable configuration for high refresh rate monitors. The Medium setting follows with 58.8 FPS, which is borderline playable for smooth gameplay. The High setting produces 49.9 FPS, which is acceptable for less demanding players. The Ultra setting drops to 39.9 FPS, which is noticeably less smooth but still playable for some.

At 2560x1440, performance takes a significant hit across the board. The Low setting averages 48.4 FPS, which is a drop of 26.1 FPS from the 1080p Low result. The Medium setting averages 41.7 FPS, and the High setting averages 32.7 FPS. The Ultra setting is the worst performer at this resolution, with an average of just 23.6 FPS, making it difficult to play comfortably.

At 3840x2160, performance collapses. The Low setting is the only one that approaches playability, with an average of 29.4 FPS. The Medium setting drops to 23.0 FPS, the Ultra setting to 16.8 FPS, and the High setting to 14.6 FPS. These numbers are all below the threshold for smooth gameplay and indicate that 4K is not a viable option for this hardware combination. The data shows a clear pattern: the higher the resolution and the higher the settings, the more the frame rate drops, with the GPU being the primary cause.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall ranking for Fivem, this combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and the AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 1703 out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 5% of all configurations tested, indicating that it is a low-performance pairing for this specific game. The rank is a strong indicator that while the system may handle other tasks adequately, it is severely underpowered for Fivem, especially when compared to the vast majority of other tested systems. The data shows that this combo is far from the top of the performance charts, and users should expect significant limitations in frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 2000 series, based on the Zen architecture. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 11186 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1579 in single-core. Its average benchmark score is 19616, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-1345U (0.4% behind), AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (0.6% ahead), and Intel Core i5-11600KF (0.6% behind). This suggests the CPU is a mid-range performer with adequate multi-threading capabilities for modern games.

In Fivem, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p, where the GPU is less stressed, the CPU can keep up, allowing for the 74.5 FPS result on Low settings. However, as resolution increases and the GPU becomes the bottleneck, the CPU's performance becomes less relevant to the final frame rate. The 12 threads of the Ryzen 5 2600 are likely sufficient to handle the game's logic and physics, but the GPU's inability to render frames fast enough at 1440p and 4K masks any potential CPU limitations. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 16 MB of shared L3 cache are adequate for the game's demands, but the combination's overall rank suggests that the CPU is not the primary culprit for the low scores; the GPU is. The CPU's percentile rank of 77 is significantly higher than the GPU's percentile rank of 74, and the combo's rank of 1703 out of 1792 shows that together, they are insufficient for a good experience in Fivem.
