Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 combination delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Fivem, ranging from a demanding 36 FPS at 4K Ultra to a fluid 197 FPS at 1080p Low. The data indicates that this pairing is capable of smooth gameplay at mainstream resolutions, but its performance characteristics shift significantly depending on the graphical load, revealing a system where the CPU and GPU trade the bottleneck role depending on the settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable progression as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop varies by preset. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 126 FPS at 1920x1080 to 83 FPS at 2560x1440, a 34% reduction, and then further to 46 FPS at 3840x2160, a 45% drop from 1440p. This indicates that at 4K High, the system is heavily taxed, and the frame rate dips below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting the GPU is the primary limiter at this resolution.

The scaling pattern shifts dramatically when looking at the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system produces 197 FPS, which drops to 132 FPS at 1440p Low, and then to 73 FPS at 4K Low. The percentage decrease from 1080p to 1440p is 33%, which is similar to the High preset, but the absolute numbers are much higher. However, the 4K Low result of 73 FPS is notably higher than the 4K High result of 46 FPS, showing that reducing settings can recover a significant amount of performance, even at the highest resolution.

The Medium preset provides the only complete data set with min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS; at 1440p Medium, the average drops to 104 FPS with a minimum of 88 FPS; and at 4K Medium, the average falls to 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS. The minimum FPS values at 1440p and 4K Medium stay above 49 FPS, indicating that while the average frame rate is playable, there can be noticeable dips into the 40s at 4K, which could be perceptible in a fast-paced multiplayer environment.

The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling, with 98 FPS at 1080p, 65 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%, mirroring the High preset's relative scaling. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS is the lowest in the dataset, confirming that this combination is not suitable for 4K gaming with maximum settings. The data suggests that the limiting component shifts from the CPU at lower resolutions to the GPU at 4K, as the performance gap between Low and Ultra presets widens significantly at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture and features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s. This large memory allocation is a notable asset for a game like Fivem, which often runs custom assets and mods that can be memory-intensive. The GPU's clock speeds are listed with a base of 1900 MHz, a game clock of 2041 MHz, and a boost clock of 2459 MHz, and the data shows that these clocks are capable of producing high frame rates at 1080p.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide context for its standing. Its Passmark G3D score is 20974, and its average benchmark score is 15852, placing it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals show a tight cluster of performance: the AMD Radeon R9 370X has an average score of 15862 with a deltaPct of -0.1%, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 16014 with a deltaPct of -1%, the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 scores 15679 with a deltaPct of 1.1%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 16129 with a deltaPct of -1.7%. This indicates that the RX 7700 is positioned very close to these cards in raw compute power, with performance deltas of less than 2% in either direction.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is clearly dominant at 4K, where frame rates are significantly lower than at 1440p or 1080p. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 36, which is a 63% reduction from the 1080p Ultra score of 98 FPS. This substantial drop is a classic sign of GPU limitation, as the rendering resolution increases the pixel fill rate demand. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the system achieves 197 FPS, and the fact that the CPU is a Ryzen 5 2600 with a 3.40 GHz base clock suggests that the frame rate is not being capped by the GPU at this lower resolution.

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. Its benchmark scores show a strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 1248 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 5648. Single-thread performance is less impressive, with a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 157.3 and a Geekbench single-core score of 1154.

The CPU's percentile ranking is 75th among all CPUs, and its average benchmark score is 21484. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V with a deltaPct of 0.2%, the Intel Core i9-11900H with a deltaPct of 0.5%, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER with a deltaPct of -0.7%, and the AMD EPYC 9454 with a deltaPct of 1.2%. This places the Ryzen 5 2600 in a competitive position for its generation, though it is several years old.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system produces 197 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that may be partially limited by the CPU's single-thread performance. The gap between 1080p Low (197 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (98 FPS) is 99 FPS, which is a larger absolute difference than at 4K, where the gap between Low (73 FPS) and Ultra (36 FPS) is 37 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to render frames quickly, and the CPU's ability to feed the game logic becomes a more significant factor. The CPU's 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 46.9 GB/s bandwidth are relevant for handling the game's world data.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the High preset offers an excellent balance, delivering an average of 126 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS standard and provides a significant visual upgrade over Medium, which averages 158 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 98 FPS, which is still smooth, but the 28 FPS drop from High may not justify the extra graphical fidelity for all users. The Medium preset at 1080p, with an average of 158 FPS and a minimum of 134 FPS, is the safest choice for high-refresh-rate monitors, as it maintains a minimum above 130 FPS.

For 1440p, the High preset is the recommended choice, producing an average of 83 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS and offers a good visual experience. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 104 FPS, but the drop to High is only 21 FPS, making High the better option for visual quality without a major performance penalty. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 65 FPS, which is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, so it is not recommended for consistent performance.

At 4K, the Low preset is the only viable option for a consistently smooth experience, with an average of 73 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 58 FPS, which is close to 60 FPS but may experience noticeable dips, as indicated by the minimum of 49 FPS. High and Ultra settings at 4K are not recommended, as they produce averages of 46 FPS and 36 FPS, respectively, which will result in a stuttery and unresponsive experience in a multiplayer game. The data suggests that users with 4K displays should prioritize the Low preset to maintain playability.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 ranks 1400th out of 3005 combos for Fivem. This places it in the upper half of all tested systems, indicating that it is a capable configuration for this game, but not at the top tier. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, where the older CPU may hold back the newer GPU in certain scenarios, particularly at lower resolutions where CPU overhead is more dominant.

The GPU's benchmark position, at the 58th percentile, is slightly above average, while the CPU's position, at the 75th percentile, is more robust. However, the combo rank of 1400 out of 3005 suggests that the overall system performance in Fivem is moderate. The measured FPS data supports this, showing strong performance at 1080p and 1440p, but a significant drop-off at 4K. This rank indicates that while the system can handle the game well at mainstream settings, there are many other combinations that provide higher frame rates, likely due to more modern CPU architectures or higher-tier GPUs. The data shows that this combo is a solid mid-range option, capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and good 1440p performance, but it is not optimized for 4K gaming.
