Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a playable, but not exceptional, experience in Fivem. The data shows this pairing is heavily influenced by resolution, with the CPU providing a solid foundation while the GPU becomes the primary limiter at higher settings. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions and settings, interpreting what each frame rate means for the overall experience.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is significant and reveals the bottleneck dynamics of this system. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 159.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 105.1 FPS, a reduction of 54.1 FPS. The most dramatic decline occurs when jumping to 4K Low, where the average falls to 55.8 FPS. This scaling pattern indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiting factor, allowing the GPU to push high frame rates. As resolution increases, the workload shifts to the GPU, and the RTX 2060 SUPER's capabilities become the deciding factor.

Examining the High settings across resolutions clarifies this further. The system delivers 97.3 FPS at 1080p, 67.9 FPS at 1440p, and 34.5 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is 29.4 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is 33.4 FPS. This relatively consistent drop-off suggests the GPU is handling the added pixel load in a linear fashion, but the absolute values at 4K are too low for a smooth experience. The 4K High result of 34.5 FPS is below the threshold for comfortable playability, indicating the GPU is severely strained at this resolution and quality level.

The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution also shows how the GPU struggles. At 1080p, the difference between Low (159.2 FPS) and Ultra (74.4 FPS) is a substantial 84.8 FPS. At 1440p, this gap narrows to 53.9 FPS (105.1 to 51.2). At 4K, the gap is only 26.6 FPS (55.8 to 29.2). This pattern shows that as resolution increases, the GPU is already so taxed that raising settings has a diminishing impact on the final frame rate; the GPU is operating at its limits regardless of the quality preset. The data indicates the limiting component shifts from the CPU at 1080p Low to the GPU at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 2600 provides a capable foundation for Fivem, with 6 cores and 12 threads. Its architecture, based on Zen, runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 3.90 GHz. This configuration is sufficient to feed the RTX 2060 SUPER at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. The CPU's performance is further contextualized by its benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11186 and a single-core score of 1579. These scores place the CPU in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, showing it is a solid mid-range processor.

The CPU's role becomes less dominant as resolution increases. At 4K, the frame rates across all settings are GPU-bound, meaning the Ryzen 5 2600 is not the primary constraint. The system's overall average benchmark score is 19616, placing it near rivals like the Intel Core i5-1345U (19691) and AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (19508). This proximity in scores suggests the CPU's raw processing power is comparable to those parts, though its specific architecture and clock speeds will interact with Fivem's engine in its own way. The data indicates the CPU is a stable, mid-range performer that does not bottleneck the GPU at higher resolutions, but it also cannot push frame rates beyond what the GPU can render at 1080p.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for high frame rates with this combo?

A: The data shows 1080p is the only resolution where the system consistently achieves high frame rates. At Low settings, the average is 159.2 FPS, and even at High settings, it maintains 97.3 FPS. At 1440p, the High preset drops to 67.9 FPS, which is still playable, but 4K High at 34.5 FPS is not.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 19774, which is 0.5% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (19680) and 0.3% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (19706). This indicates the RTX 2060 SUPER performs nearly identically to those cards in synthetic tests.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 2600 a bottleneck for this GPU at 4K?

A: No, the benchmark results indicate the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The frame rates across all settings at 3840x2160 are relatively low (ranging from 29.2 to 55.8 FPS), which is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios. The CPU has enough headroom at this resolution.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The difference is substantial. At 1080p, the Low preset achieves 159.2 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 74.4 FPS. This is a reduction of 84.8 FPS, indicating that the quality settings have a major impact on performance at this resolution.

Q: How many cores does the CPU have, and what is its boost clock?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.90 GHz. This configuration is well-suited for multitasking and modern game engines.

Q: What is the combo's overall ranking among tested systems?

A: The combo ranks 1335 out of 1792 tested combinations. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, indicating that while it is not a top-tier performer, it is far from the bottom of the list.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1335 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This percentile placement, roughly the 25th percentile from the top, shows that the system is capable but not exceptional for this title. The rank reflects the combination's overall performance, which is capped by the GPU's struggles at 4K and the CPU's mid-range processing power. For context, the CPU alone sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile among all GPUs. The combined rank is lower than either individual component's percentile, which suggests that the pairing does not extract the maximum potential from both parts. The data implies that a stronger GPU would likely improve the ranking more than a CPU upgrade, given the GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across all settings and resolutions.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the system produces its lowest frame rates. The Low preset averages 55.8 FPS, which is playable but not smooth. Medium drops to 45.3 FPS, High to 34.5 FPS, and Ultra to 29.2 FPS. These numbers show that 4K is only viable for less demanding scenarios, and even the Low preset is below the ideal 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), performance improves significantly. The Low preset achieves 105.1 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play. Medium delivers 84.9 FPS, and High is at 67.9 FPS, both of which are smooth for most players. The Ultra preset drops to 51.2 FPS, which is still playable but shows the GPU starting to strain under the load.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system shows its best performance. The Low preset hits 159.2 FPS, which is exceptional for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium follows at 123.6 FPS, and High at 97.3 FPS, both of which are very playable. The Ultra preset drops to 74.4 FPS, which is still above the 60 FPS threshold but shows a significant performance cost for the highest quality settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate.

For 1080p users, the High preset at 97.3 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a smooth experience. If the user has a 144Hz monitor, the Low preset at 159.2 FPS is the best choice for maximum frame rates, though it sacrifices visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 123.6 FPS is a good middle ground for those wanting both quality and speed. The Ultra preset is not recommended, as the drop to 74.4 FPS does not justify the visual gains.

For 1440p users, the Medium preset at 84.9 FPS is the sweet spot. It provides a smooth experience with a good balance of quality and performance. The High preset at 67.9 FPS is also acceptable for those prioritizing visuals, but the Low preset at 105.1 FPS is preferred for competitive play. The Ultra preset at 51.2 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below the 60 FPS target.

For 4K users, the data suggests this combo is not well-suited for the resolution. The Low preset at 55.8 FPS is the only playable option, but even that is below 60 FPS. The Medium, High, and Ultra presets are all below 50 FPS and will result in a stuttery experience. Users with a 4K monitor should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for a better experience, or accept the performance limitations of this GPU at 4K.
