Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer-focused title that stresses both CPU and GPU, and the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 produces a result that lands in the lower half of the database. The combo ranks 1460 out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the 81st percentile of all tested systems for this specific game. This is a pairing of a 2018 six-core processor with a 2021 RDNA 2 graphics card, and the benchmark results show a system that can deliver playable frame rates at 1080p but struggles to maintain smooth performance at higher resolutions and maximum settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. It features a 16 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 46.9 GB/s. The processor sits in the 77th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 19616, indicating it is a mid-range part by modern standards.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification platform that often relies on server-side logic and numerous scripted entities, the CPU's thread count and clock speeds matter significantly. The Ryzen 5 2600's 12 threads allow it to handle the multiple background tasks that Fivem typically runs, but its 3.90 GHz boost clock is modest compared to newer parts. The data shows that this CPU's performance is closely matched by several rivals: it trails the Intel Core i5-1345U by 0.4%, leads the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U by 0.6%, trails the Intel Core i5-11600KF by 0.6%, and leads the Intel Core i7-10700F by 0.7%. These negligible differences suggest that the CPU is not a bottleneck in most scenarios, but its older architecture may limit peak frame rates in CPU-bound situations typical of dense multiplayer sessions.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Ryzen 5 2600 and RX 6600 ranks 1460 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 19% of all tested systems, meaning that 332 other combinations perform worse. While the individual components are not bottom-tier — the CPU is in the 77th percentile and the GPU is in the 69th percentile — the combined result is dragged down by the game's demanding nature. This rank suggests that while the system can run the game, it does so at frame rates that are noticeably below what many other tested configurations achieve.

The ranking is particularly telling when compared to the GPU's standalone metrics. The RX 6600 has an average benchmark score of 25235, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 890M (0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (-0.2% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (0.2% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (0.5% delta). These are all within a narrow performance band, yet the combo's rank in Fivem is poor, indicating that the game's performance is not solely dependent on GPU compute power.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of resolution scaling that helps identify the bottleneck in this system. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 146.3 FPS, which drops to 94 FPS at 1440p and 54.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 35.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 42.0% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is less steep at higher settings: at Ultra, frame rates go from 70.1 FPS at 1080p to 45.6 FPS at 1440p (a 35.0% drop) and then to 28.1 FPS at 4K (a 38.4% drop).

The pattern suggests that at 1080p, the system is largely CPU-bound, as the frame rates are high but the GPU is not fully taxed. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, which is typical for a mid-range card like the RX 6600. The fact that the drop from 1080p to 1440p is more severe than the drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings (35.7% vs. 42.0% relative to the previous step) indicates that the CPU can still keep up at 1440p Low, but the GPU struggles to maintain the same efficiency as pixel count grows. This is a system that is balanced at 1080p, but becomes GPU-limited at 1440p and above.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 146.3 FPS, Medium produces 114.9 FPS, High produces 91.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 70.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 76.2 FPS, which is a 52.1% reduction in performance when moving to maximum settings. This indicates that settings have a significant impact at this resolution, and the system is capable of delivering smooth gameplay on Medium and High, but dips below 60 FPS only at Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop predictably: Low produces 94 FPS, Medium produces 73.5 FPS, High produces 58.4 FPS, and Ultra produces 45.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 48.4 FPS, a 51.5% reduction. At this resolution, the system maintains playable frame rates on Low and Medium, but High and Ultra fall below the 60 FPS threshold, making them less suitable for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are the lowest in the dataset: Low produces 54.5 FPS, Medium produces 42.7 FPS, High produces 34.5 FPS, and Ultra produces 28.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 26.4 FPS, a 48.4% reduction. None of the settings at 4K reach 60 FPS, and even Low settings are only marginally playable. The data shows that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combo in Fivem, as the GPU is unable to maintain consistent frame rates.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1626 MHz and a boost clock of 2491 MHz, with a game clock of 2044 MHz. It has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operations pipelines, along with 28 ray tracing cores. The card sits in the 69th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25235.

In Fivem, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's textures at 1080p and 1440p, but the 128-bit memory bus may limit performance at higher resolutions. The measured data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, where even Low settings only produce 54.5 FPS. The card's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 890M, performs identically (0% delta), while the RX 580 2048SP trails by 0.2% and the RX 6700M leads by 0.2%. This narrow performance band suggests that the RX 6600 is a solid mid-range card, but it cannot overcome the demands of Fivem at high resolutions. The GPU's FP32 performance of 8.928 TFLOPS is adequate for 1080p gaming, but the data indicates that the card is pushed to its limits when paired with the Ryzen 5 2600 in this specific title.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for this CPU/GPU pair in Fivem?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 with High settings produces 91.3 FPS, which is the highest frame rate above 60 FPS while maintaining reasonable visual quality. At 1440p, Medium settings produce 73.5 FPS, but High drops to 58.4 FPS, making 1080p High the optimal balance.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score?

A: The Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 19616. It trails the Intel Core i5-1345U by 0.4% (which scores 19691) and the Intel Core i5-11600KF by 0.6% (which scores 19740), but leads the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U by 0.6% (which scores 19508) and the Intel Core i7-10700F by 0.7% (which scores 19485).

Q: Is the GPU or CPU the limiting factor at 4K resolution?

A: At 3840x2160, the frame rates range from 28.1 FPS at Ultra to 54.5 FPS at Low. Since the CPU is capable of producing 146.3 FPS at 1080p Low, the dramatic drop at 4K indicates that the RX 6600 is the limiting component, as it cannot maintain adequate throughput at this pixel count.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Low settings produce 94 FPS, while Ultra settings produce 45.6 FPS. This is a difference of 48.4 FPS, representing a 51.5% reduction in performance when moving from the lowest to the highest settings.

Q: How does the RX 6600's performance compare to the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP?

A: The RX 6600 has an average benchmark score of 25235, while the RX 580 2048SP has a score of 25287. This means the RX 580 2048SP is 0.2% faster, a negligible difference that would not be noticeable in real-world gameplay.

Q: Does the system maintain 60 FPS at any 4K setting?

A: No. The highest frame rate at 3840x2160 is 54.5 FPS at Low settings. Medium produces 42.7 FPS, High produces 34.5 FPS, and Ultra produces 28.1 FPS, all of which fall below the 60 FPS threshold.
