How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 440 out of 3005 tested combinations places this system in the upper echelon of Fivem performance. This percentile position—roughly the 85th percentile—indicates that the pairing delivers frame rates that are higher than the vast majority of tested systems. The ranking is particularly notable given the CPU's age and mid-range positioning, suggesting that Fivem's multiplayer workload is not entirely CPU-bound and allows the RTX 5090 D to flex its substantial rendering capabilities.

When examining the individual component contributions, the RTX 5090 D's average benchmark score of 77712 places it well above the CPU's average of 21484. This disparity in raw compute potential is reflected in the game's frame rates, where the GPU's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for Fivem's asset streaming and rendering demands. The CPU's nearest rivals—including the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V, Intel Core i9-11900H, Intel Xeon D-1746TER, and AMD EPYC 9454—all have average scores within 1.2% of the Ryzen 5 2600. This clustering indicates that the CPU's performance level is well understood, and its 75th percentile ranking is consistent with other processors in its class.

The combo's rank is likely influenced by the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, which are sufficient for Fivem's multiplayer environment but may limit performance in scenarios with many players or complex scripts. The data suggests that the RTX 5090 D is capable of much higher frame rates, as indicated by its 92nd percentile GPU ranking, but the CPU's single-thread performance—a Geekbench single-core score of 1154—creates a bottleneck that caps the overall system performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the clear performance driver in this Fivem configuration. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus delivers 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Fivem's open-world multiplayer environments that require rapid texture streaming and draw call processing. The GPU's base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz provide the raw processing speed needed to maintain high frame rates at demanding resolutions.

The GPU's architectural specifications further reinforce its dominant role. With 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units, the RTX 5090 D has the parallel processing capacity to handle Fivem's rendering workload with considerable ease. The 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores suggest that the card is future-proofed for any graphical enhancements, though Fivem's current implementation does not heavily utilize these features. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance ensures that even the most complex shader effects are processed without becoming the limiting factor.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's performance is evidenced by the measured frame rates. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 197 FPS, which drops to 152 FPS at Ultra settings. This 45 FPS spread across settings at the same resolution shows that the GPU handles the increased graphical load gracefully, with the Ultra preset still delivering a highly playable frame rate. The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77712, places it far above the CPU's capabilities, confirming that the graphics card is not the constraining component in this pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data reveals a consistent performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates, starting with 197 FPS at Low settings. The High preset achieves 167 FPS, Medium achieves 181 FPS, and Ultra achieves 152 FPS. The Medium setting at 1080p shows a minimum FPS of 154 and a maximum of 208, indicating smooth performance with occasional spikes. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 45 FPS, showing that the GPU has ample headroom to handle increased graphical demands.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the expected reduction from higher pixel counts. Low settings produce 171 FPS, High produces 145 FPS, Medium produces 157 FPS, and Ultra produces 130 FPS. The Medium setting at 1440p records a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 181 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is 26 FPS, while the drop at Ultra settings is 22 FPS. This relatively consistent reduction indicates that the GPU is still the primary performance driver at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the 4K resolution shows the most significant performance impact. Low settings achieve 141 FPS, Medium achieves 116 FPS, High achieves 93 FPS, and Ultra drops to 72 FPS. The Medium setting at 4K has a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 133 FPS, providing a playable range even at this demanding resolution. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 69 FPS, which is larger than at lower resolutions, suggesting that the CPU begins to play a more significant role as the GPU's workload increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 serves as the system's foundation but is clearly the weaker link in this pairing. Its 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Zen+ architecture, provide adequate multi-threaded performance for Fivem's multiplayer environment. The CPU's base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 3.90 GHz are modest by modern standards, and its single-thread performance—evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 1154—limits the system's ability to maintain high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

The CPU's benchmark scores illustrate its mid-range positioning. The Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1248 and single-core score of 157.3 show solid but not exceptional performance. The PassMark multithread score of 13160 and single-thread score of 2239 further confirm this assessment. The CPU's 75th percentile ranking among all tested CPUs places it above the median, but its nearest rivals—all scoring within 1.2% of its average—indicate that it is at the upper edge of its performance class.

In Fivem, the CPU's impact is most noticeable at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 197 FPS, but this frame rate is likely limited by the CPU's single-thread capabilities. At 4K Ultra settings, the frame rate drops to 72 FPS, where the CPU is no longer the primary constraint. The CPU's 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide adequate bandwidth for game data, but the architecture's limitations become apparent when the GPU is capable of producing frame rates above 200 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the Medium preset at 1920x1080 offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. This configuration achieves an average of 181 FPS with a minimum of 154 FPS and a maximum of 208 FPS. The minimum FPS is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay, and the average provides headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios. The High preset at 1080p achieves 167 FPS but lacks the reported minimum/maximum data, making it harder to evaluate consistency.

For users with 1440p displays, the Medium preset again appears optimal. It achieves 157 FPS average with a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 181 FPS. This provides a smooth experience while maintaining higher visual fidelity than Low settings. The High preset at 1440p achieves 145 FPS, which is still playable but offers less headroom for frame rate drops in busy areas. The Ultra preset at 1440p, with 130 FPS average, is acceptable but may experience more noticeable dips during intense action.

At 4K resolution, the Medium preset is the recommended choice. It achieves 116 FPS average with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 133 FPS. The minimum FPS is close to the 100 FPS mark, which is generally considered excellent for competitive play. The High preset at 4K drops to 93 FPS, which is still playable but closer to the edge of comfort. The Low preset at 4K achieves 141 FPS, but this sacrifices visual quality for frame rate. The Ultra preset at 4K, with 72 FPS average, is playable but may struggle to maintain smoothness in demanding multiplayer environments.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 197 FPS at 1080p to 171 FPS at 1440p and 141 FPS at 4K. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 28% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The consistent percentage drops suggest that the GPU is handling the increased pixel count efficiently, while the CPU maintains its performance ceiling.

At Ultra settings, the scaling shows a different pattern. The frame rate drops from 152 FPS at 1080p to 130 FPS at 1440p and 72 FPS at 4K. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is 14%, but the reduction from 1440p to 4K is 45%. This disproportionate drop at 4K Ultra indicates that the GPU is becoming more heavily utilized, and the CPU's limitations are no longer the primary constraint. The 4K Ultra workload demands significantly more from the GPU, and the RTX 5090 D's performance at this setting reflects its actual capabilities.

The data suggests that the CPU is the limiting component at 1080p and 1440p, particularly at lower settings where the GPU has spare capacity. At 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, especially at Ultra settings where the frame rate drops sharply. This transition point—where the limiting factor shifts from CPU to GPU—occurs between 1440p and 4K at higher settings. The practical implication is that users with this combo should favor higher resolutions and settings to maximize GPU utilization and achieve more balanced performance.
