Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER presents a striking contrast in FiveM: a last-generation six-core processor paired with a top-tier current-generation graphics card. The benchmark data reveals a combination that is heavily influenced by resolution, with the GPU's immense power only becoming fully utilized as the pixel count climbs. This analysis examines the measured FPS across all settings and resolutions to determine where this pairing excels and where its performance is constrained.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data in FiveM shows a clear and predictable pattern: performance scales inversely with resolution, but the rate of decline is not uniform across all settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 197 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 171 FPS, a 13% reduction. At 4K, the average falls to 121 FPS, a further 29% drop from 1440p. This scaling indicates that at lower resolutions, the system is not entirely GPU-bound; the CPU has enough headroom to push more frames, but the graphics card is still doing the primary work.

The trend becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the average is 152 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 107 FPS, a 30% reduction. At 4K Ultra, the average plummets to 59 FPS, a 45% drop from 1440p. This steeper decline at higher settings and resolutions is a classic indicator of the GPU becoming the limiting factor. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth are being taxed heavily by the increased detail and pixel count.

The most telling data point for identifying the bottleneck is the Low setting scaling. At 1080p Low, the system produces 197 FPS. At 1440p Low, it only drops to 171 FPS, a modest 13% decrease. This suggests that at 1080p Low, the CPU is likely nearing its limit for frame generation, preventing the GPU from stretching its legs fully. The Ryzen 5 2600, with a boost clock of 3.90 GHz and a Passmark single-thread score of 2239, is the more likely constraint in this scenario.date. However, by the time we reach 4K Low at 121 FPS, the GPU workload has increased enough to re-establish itself as the primary limiter.

In contrast, the jump from Low to Medium at 1080p is a 8% drop (197 to 181 FPS), while the jump from Medium to High is a 8% drop (181 to 167 FPS), and from High to Ultra is a 9% drop (167 to 152 FPS). These are relatively small incremental changes, suggesting that at 1080p, the CPU is providing a relatively stable platform, and the GPU has sufficient headroom to handle the increased graphical load without a massive FPS penalty. The data shows that the 4080 SUPER is capable of driving high frame rates even at 1080p, but the 2600 is holding back the absolute maximum potential. The resolution scaling analysis reveals a combo that is balanced at 4K, but increasingly CPU-limited as resolution decreases.

A: The benchmark data shows the RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54209, which is 0.1% lower than the RTX 4080's score of 54247. This makes the two cards effectively identical in general compute performance, despite the SUPER variant's higher model number.

Q: Does the 4K Ultra setting provide a playable experience?

A: At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo averages 59 FPS. This is just at the threshold of smooth gameplay for many, but it is the lowest measured average in the entire dataset. For a more consistent experience, the 4K High setting at 76 FPS is a safer choice.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for FiveM. Its role becomes more critical as resolution and settings increase. The GPU's capabilities are defined by its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This is a vast amount of memory and bandwidth for a game like FiveM, which is known for its modded environments and high-resolution texture packs. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system is firmly GPU-bound, producing 59 FPS, which is a 61% drop from the 152 FPS at 1080p Ultra. This indicates that the GPU is being fully utilized, and its performance is the sole determinant of the frame rate.

The GPU's clock speeds are also a factor. With a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, the RTX 4080 SUPER is running at high frequencies. The boost clock behavior is key; as the GPU handles more complex scenes at higher resolutions, it will boost to its maximum clock to maintain performance. The 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is immense, and the data confirms that it can handle the raw computational demands of FiveM even at 4K, albeit at lower settings. The 86th percentile ranking vs all GPUs places it firmly in the high-end tier, and its average benchmark score of 54209 is only 0.1% behind the RTX 4080, indicating it is a top-tier performer.

The data also shows how the GPU's role shifts relative to the CPU. At 1080p Low, the system produces 197 FPSholiday. While the GPU is certainly capable of more, the CPU's processing power is the limiting factor. At 4K Low, the GPU is still producing 121 FPS, which is a significant workload, but the Ultra setting at 59 FPS demonstrates the GPU's limits when combined with demanding settings. The 16 GB VRAM is a crucial asset here; it allows the GPU to handle large textures and draw distances without running out of memory, which would cause stuttering. The measured minimum FPS of 81 at 4K Medium and 134 at 1440p Medium further confirms that the GPU maintains stable frame delivery under moderate load, but the lack of min/max data for other settings prevents a full analysis of frame pacing. The GPU is the clear workhorse in this combo, and its performance scales predictably with the workload.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER holds a combined rank of 793 out of 3707 tested combos in FiveM. This places it in the top 21% of all systems tested, which is a strong showing given the age of the CPU. The rank is a measure of the overall performance of this specific pairing relative to all other CPU-GPU combinations in the database for this game.

This ranking is particularly interesting when considering the individual components. The Ryzen 5 2600 has a percentile ranking of 75 vs all CPUs, while the RTX 4080 SUPER has a percentile ranking of 86 vs all GPUs. If the system were perfectly balanced, one might expect a combined rank that is closer to the average of those two percentiles. However, the data shows the combo ranks at 793 out of 3707, which is better than the CPU's 75th percentile might suggest. This implies that in FiveM, the GPU's power is able to compensate for the CPU's relative weakness in many scenarios, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU is the primary bottleneck.

The combined rank of 793 reflects the raw power of the RTX 4080 SUPER. It is able to lift the overall performance of the system to a level that far exceeds what the Ryzen 5 2600 could achieve with a lesser graphics card. The deltaPct values for the CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i9-11900H (0.5% higher score) and the AMD EPYC 9454 (1.2% higher score), show that the 2600's performance is competitive with a wide range of other processors. However, the final rank in the game is determined by the total system performance, and the GPU is clearly the deciding factor here. This rank of 793 out of 3707 indicates that users can expect a better-than-average experience compared to other tested configurations, even with the older CPU.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the user's target resolution and desired frame rate.

For 1080p gaming, the system is so powerful that Ultra settings are a clear choice. The average of 152 FPS at Ultra is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of many monitors, and it provides the best visual experience. There is no need to compromise on settings at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset yields a very high frame rate. The data shows a 30% performance penalty for Ultra over Low, but the absolute frame rate is still excellent.

For 1440p gaming, High settings at 138 FPS offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. This is a 29% improvement over Ultra at 107 FPS, and the drop from High to Ultra is the largest single-tier penalty at this resolution (23%). The data suggests that Ultra is too demanding for a consistently smooth experience on higher refresh rate monitors, while High provides a near-optimal experience. Medium settings at 157 FPS are also viable, but the visual upgrade to High is worth the 12% performance cost.

For 4K gaming, the choices are more constrained. High settings at 76 FPS is the recommended starting point, as it provides a smooth experience on 60 Hz displays. Ultra settings at 59 FPS are playable but will be less consistent, and the 22% performance drop from High to Ultra is significant. Low settings at 121 FPS are ideal for competitive play or if the user prefers maximum frame rates, but the visual compromise is substantial. Medium settings at 95 FPS, with a minimum of 81 FPS, offer a safe middle ground that guarantees a frame rate above 60 FPS.

In summary, the RTX 4080 SUPER's power is best utilized at 1440p High or 4K High. The Ryzen 5 2600, while not a top-tier CPU, does not prevent the GPU from delivering a playable experience at any resolution. The data indicates that for a balanced experience, 1440p High is the sweet spot, offering high visual quality and a frame rate that exceeds the refresh rate of most standard monitors. For 4K users, High is the most reliable choice for a stable 60+ FPS experience.
