Q: How does this combo's CPU benchmark score compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 has an average benchmark score of 21484. This is 0.2% higher than the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V (21440) and 0.5% higher than the Intel Core i9-11900H (21367), but 0.7% lower than the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (21635) and 1.2% lower than the AMD EPYC 9454 (21223).

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the primary driver of graphical performance in this configuration. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming at the tested resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 1665 MHz and its 4864 shading units are the key specifications influencing the measured frame rates.

The GPU's benchmark results corroborate its mid-range positioning. It scores 20349 in Passmark G3D and 78927 in Geekbench OpenCL, placing it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs. The data shows that the RTX 3060 Ti is not a bottleneck at lower settings; for instance, it achieves 196 FPS at 1080p Low. However, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 35, indicating that the GPU's computational throughput is the limiting factor at the highest fidelity and resolution.

Comparing to its direct rivals, the RTX 3060 Ti has an average benchmark score of 16129. This is 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 9060 (16014) and 1.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon R9 370X (15862), but 1.4% behind both the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (16351) and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16361). These close margins suggest that in raw compute, the card is on par with its immediate competitors, and the observed Fivem frame rates are a direct reflection of this balanced compute capability.

How This Combo Ranks

In the specific context of Fivem, this CPU-GPU combination holds the 1836th position out of 3707 tested combinations. This ranking places it just above the midpoint of all systems tested, signifying a balanced, mainstream setup. The percentile ranking of 50% indicates that half of all tested combos perform better in this game, while half perform worse.

This mid-pack standing is consistent with the individual component benchmarks. The CPU sits in the 75th percentile of all processors, while the GPU is in the 59th percentile. The resulting combo rank is lower than both individual percentiles, which suggests that the pairing is not perfectly optimized for Fivem's specific workload. The game may be sensitive to the CPU's single-thread performance or the GPU's pixel throughput, preventing the combo from achieving the same relative standing as its parts do individually.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured average FPS, the "High" preset at 1920x1080 provides the most balanced experience. It delivers an average of 124 FPS, which is sufficiently high for a smooth multiplayer experience in Fivem. While the "Low" preset offers a significantly higher 196 FPS, the jump to "Medium" at 155 FPS and then to "High" at 124 FPS shows a reasonable trade-off between visual quality and performance.

For 2560x1440, the "High" preset remains the recommended choice, producing an average of 81 FPS. This is a playable frame rate for most users. While "Medium" offers a higher 102 FPS, the "High" preset still maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, making it the better choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing fluidity. At 3840x2160, the "Low" preset is the only viable option for a smooth experience, yielding 72 FPS. The "Medium" preset at 56 FPS is borderline, and "High" (45 FPS) and "Ultra" (35 FPS) fall below the threshold for responsive gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS scales from 196 at Low to 155 at Medium, 124 at High, and 96 at Ultra. The Medium preset also records a minimum of 131 FPS and a maximum of 178 FPS, showing a consistent frame delivery. The difference between Low and Ultra is 100 FPS, a substantial 51% performance cost for the highest quality settings.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops to 129 at Low, 102 at Medium, 81 at High, and 63 at Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 87 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at the High preset reduces the average from 124 FPS to 81 FPS, a 35% decrease in performance.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS is 72 at Low, 56 at Medium, 45 at High, and 35 at Ultra. The Medium preset records a minimum of 48 FPS and a maximum of 65 FPS. The Ultra preset's 35 FPS average is the only measured result that falls below the 40 FPS threshold, indicating that this setting is not suitable for this combo.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. Its architecture, codenamed Zen, and its 16 MB of shared L3 cache are relevant for handling the many concurrent tasks and entity updates common in Fivem's multiplayer environment.

The CPU's benchmark scores show a strong multi-threaded capability, with a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 1248 and a Passmark multithread score of 13160. Its single-thread performance is more modest, with a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 157.3 and a Passmark single-thread score of 2239. This profile suggests the CPU can handle the game's background simulation tasks well, but its single-thread performance might become a limiting factor at high frame rates.

The data indicates that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this pairing. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 196 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that would stress most CPUs. The fact that it can reach this level suggests the Ryzen 5 2600 is sufficient for the task. However, the CPU's 75th percentile ranking, compared to the GPU's 59th, suggests it has relatively more headroom, meaning the GPU is more likely to be the first component to reach its limit in this setup.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is significant and reveals the nature of the system's bottleneck. At the High preset, the average FPS decreases from 124 at 1920x1080 to 81 at 2560x1440, and then to 45 at 3840x2160. This represents a 65% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K.

This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-limited system. As resolution increases, the workload on the GPU's pixel shaders and memory bandwidth grows proportionally, while the CPU load remains relatively static. The RTX 3060 Ti's 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 133.2 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply overwhelmed at 4K, particularly at higher quality settings. The data supports this: at the 4K Ultra preset, the average FPS collapses to 35, a clear sign that the GPU's compute resources are exhausted.

Conversely, the relatively smaller drop from 1080p to 1440p (a 35% decrease at High) indicates that the GPU still has enough headroom to handle the additional pixel count at this resolution. The system is well-balanced for 1440p gaming, but the 4K results show a hard ceiling imposed by the GPU. The CPU's role in this scaling is minimal, as it can maintain its frame delivery at all resolutions; the limiting component is unequivocally the graphics card.
