Fivem

Fivem presents a demanding workload for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 pairing. The measured data reveals a configuration that is heavily constrained by its graphics processor, with frame rates that collapse under higher resolutions and settings. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, contextualizes the combo’s standing, and offers guidance based strictly on the provided figures.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is stark and reveals a GPU-bound scenario. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 75.6 FPS at 1920x1080 to 50.2 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 25.4 FPS. Moving further to 3840x2160, the average plummets to 26.9 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that the GTX 1650’s rendering capabilities are the primary bottleneck, as the CPU cannot compensate for the increased pixel workload.

The pattern persists across all settings. At High, the average drops from 48.4 FPS at 1080p to 32.4 FPS at 1440p, then to 19.3 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K is consistently large, suggesting that the graphics card’s memory bandwidth and shading power are insufficient for 4K output. The data implies that 4K gaming is not viable for this combo, as even the lowest preset fails to maintain a playable 30 FPS average.

Interestingly, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p is less punishing than from 1440p to 4K. For example, at Medium settings, 1080p yields 60.9 FPS, 1440p yields 39.9 FPS, and 4K yields 19.5 FPS. The incremental cost of 4K over 1440p is roughly 20 FPS, which is a significant penalty. This highlights that the GTX 1650’s 4 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are overwhelmed by the sheer number of pixels, leading to a sub-20 FPS experience at Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position in the database is precarious. With a combo rank of 1720 out of 1792 tested combinations, this pairing sits in the bottom 4% of all tested systems for Fivem. This rank is a direct reflection of the measured FPS data, which shows that even at 1080p Low, the average of 75.6 FPS is only moderately playable, and higher settings push it into uncomfortable territory.

This low rank is not surprising given the individual component standings. The GTX 1650 has a percentile rank of 43 among all GPUs, placing it in the lower half of graphics cards. Its average benchmark score of 8713 is closely matched by rivals like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile (8746, delta -0.4%) and the AMD Radeon 550X (8749, delta -0.4%), but this proximity to mobile and entry-level parts underscores its limited headroom. The CPU performs slightly better, with a percentile rank of 77 and an average score of 19616, but this does little to boost the overall gaming experience when the GPU is the limiting factor.

The rank suggests that for Fivem, this hardware combination is near the bottom of what is acceptable. The data shows that the combo is more suited for 1080p gaming at lower presets, and any ambition beyond that is met with significant frame rate penalties. This is a critical insight for users seeking a smooth multiplayer experience, as the game’s performance is directly tied to this weak link.

GPU Role

The GTX 1650 is the definitive bottleneck in this configuration. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 128-bit memory bus provide a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s, which is insufficient for high-resolution textures. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 4K Ultra, the average is 15.8 FPS, which is a slideshow. Even at 1080p Ultra, the average of 35.1 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold many players target.

The GPU’s clock speeds are modest, with a base of 1485 MHz and a boost of 1665 MHz. These clocks, combined with 896 shading units, yield a pixel rate of 53.28 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 93.24 GTexel/s. These specifications are simply not enough to drive Fivem’s complex scenes at high resolutions. The data shows that lowering settings from Ultra to Low at 1080p improves the average from 35.1 FPS to 75.6 FPS, a gain of 40.5 FPS. This indicates that the GPU’s shading and memory are the primary constraints, and reducing the workload directly translates to better performance.

Comparatively, the GTX 1650’s nearest rivals in the database do not offer a significant performance advantage. The NVIDIA Quadro P2200 has an average score of 8671 (delta 0.5%), while the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 scores 8761 (delta -0.5%). These negligible differences suggest that swapping to a similar-tier card would not meaningfully change the FPS outcomes measured here. The GPU’s 43rd percentile ranking aligns with its observed performance, making it a low-to-mid-range part that struggles with modern multiplayer titles at high settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to a clear strategy for this combo: prioritize resolution over quality. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 75.6 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded across all tests. This is the only configuration that approaches a truly smooth experience, and it is the recommended baseline for competitive play.

For users who prefer better visuals, the Medium preset at 1080p offers a reasonable compromise, with an average of 60.9 FPS. This is a playable frame rate, though it is 14.7 FPS lower than Low. The High preset drops to 48.4 FPS, which is still functional but begins to show the GPU’s strain. The Ultra preset at 1080p is not recommended, as the 35.1 FPS average is below the 60 FPS target and will likely feel sluggish in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

At 2560x1440, the situation worsens. The Low preset provides 50.2 FPS, which is borderline, while Medium drops to 39.9 FPS and High to 32.4 FPS. Ultra at 1440p is nearly unplayable at 26 FPS. The data suggests that 1440p is only viable at Low settings, and even then, the frame rate is not ideal. For 3840x2160, no preset is viable, as the highest average is 26.9 FPS at Low, which is below playable thresholds.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 plays a supporting role in this analysis, as the data shows it is not the primary constraint. With 6 cores and 12 threads, the CPU has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. Its benchmark scores are respectable, including a cinebench r23 multicore score of 11186 and a passmark multithread score of 13160. The CPU’s percentile rank of 77 indicates it performs above average compared to all CPUs, which is a stark contrast to the GPU’s lower standing.

The CPU’s influence on Fivem’s performance is likely limited to scenes with high numbers of player characters or complex physics, but the measured FPS data does not show a CPU bottleneck. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect frame rates to remain relatively constant across resolutions, but instead, they drop sharply as resolution increases. This is a classic sign of GPU limitation.

The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-1345U (delta -0.4%) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (delta 0.6%), show that the Ryzen 5 2600 is competitive in synthetic benchmarks. However, this does not translate to higher frame rates in Fivem because the GTX 1650 cannot keep up. For users considering an upgrade, the data suggests that the GPU should be the first component replaced, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to support a more powerful graphics card.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS table is as follows:

• 3840x2160: High 19.3, Low 26.9, Medium 19.5, Ultra 15.8
• 2560x1440: High 32.4, Low 50.2, Medium 39.9, Ultra 26
• 1920x1080: High 48.4, Low 75.6, Medium 60.9, Ultra 35.1

The data shows a consistent trend: lowering settings at any resolution yields a proportional increase in average FPS. At 1080p, the jump from Ultra to Low is 40.5 FPS, while at 1440p, the same change yields a 24.2 FPS increase. At 4K, the improvement from Ultra to Low is 11.1 FPS, but the absolute values remain too low for practical use.

The only configuration that exceeds 60 FPS is 1080p Low at 75.6 FPS. The 1080p Medium preset is just at the edge at 60.9 FPS. All other combinations fall below 60 FPS, with many dipping below 30 FPS. This breakdown reinforces the conclusion that this system is best suited for 1080p gaming at low to medium settings, and any higher resolution or quality preset will result in a degraded experience.
