Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT presents a classic mid-range 2019 pairing, and the measured FPS data for Fivem reveals a system that is heavily influenced by both resolution and graphical presets. This combination sits at rank 1361 out of 1792 tested combos in this game, placing it in the lower half of the database, yet the raw frame rates suggest it remains viable for many playstyles. The data indicates a system where the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, but the CPU’s capabilities become more relevant at lower settings and resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS shows a dramatic scaling curve as resolution increases, which is a clear indicator of where the performance ceiling lies. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 157.2 FPS, but moving to 1440p drops that to 102.7 FPS (a 34.7% reduction), and at 4K it falls to 54.7 FPS (a 65.2% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline is typical of a GPU-bound scenario; the RX 5700 XT’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated as pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

When we look at the High preset, the scaling is slightly less aggressive but still pronounced: 97.9 FPS at 1080p drops to 65.3 FPS at 1440p and then to 36.1 FPS at 4K. The pattern suggests that the GPU’s compute throughput (9.754 TFLOPS FP32) is the limiting factor at 4K, as the frame rate nearly quarters from the lowest to highest resolution. Conversely, the relatively small gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings (157.2 vs 102.7 FPS) hints that the CPU might start to become a co-limiter at lower resolutions, but the data does not show a hard CPU wall until we push past the 157.2 FPS mark.

The scaling from Low to Ultra at any given resolution is also telling. At 4K, going from Low (54.7 FPS) to Ultra (28.4 FPS) cuts performance nearly in half, which aligns with the GPU’s 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs being pushed harder with each preset. This resolution scaling data strongly implies that for 4K gaming, the RX 5700 XT is the definitive bottleneck, while the Ryzen 5 3600 has headroom to spare.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

With a combo rank of 1361 out of 1792, this pairing falls into the 24th percentile of tested configurations for Fivem. This is a low ranking, meaning the majority of tested combos outperform it, but it is important to contextualize this against the component’s absolute scores. The CPU itself sits at the 76th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 68th percentile among all GPUs; the combined rank being lower suggests that Fivem is particularly sensitive to the GPU’s weaknesses or that the pairing creates an imbalance.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Ryzen 5 3600’s average benchmark score of 18129 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-11400 (18150, deltaPct -0.1) and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (18158, deltaPct -0.2). This indicates that in synthetic tests, the 3600 is essentially tied with those parts, but in Fivem’s real-world measurements, the combo rank suffers. For the GPU, the RX 5700 XT’s average score of 24731 is within 0.3% of the Intel Arc A350M (24647) and 0.6% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile (24592), yet those mobile parts likely pair with different CPUs, producing better overall results.

The low combo rank suggests that while each component is individually capable (as shown by their percentiles), Fivem’s engine may not scale well with this specific configuration. The data implies that other combos at similar component price points achieve higher FPS, likely due to better CPU-GPU balance or architectural advantages in Fivem’s workload.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Radeon RX 5700 XT features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is the first thing to examine when looking at Fivem’s results. The game’s open-world multiplayer nature often involves large texture streaming, but the 8 GB capacity is sufficient to avoid VRAM overflow at 1080p and 1440p, as evidenced by the playable frame rates. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 28.4 suggests that the memory bandwidth might be stretched thin, though the compute units are also under heavy load.

The GPU’s clocks are notable: a base of 1605 MHz, a game clock of 1755 MHz, and a boost of 1905 MHz. The boost clock is what the card sustains under load, and the 14 Gbps effective memory speed translates to the 448.0 GB/s figure. In Fivem, the performance scaling from Low to High at 1080p (157.2 to 97.9 FPS) shows that the card’s shader units (2560) and TMUs (160) are being utilized progressively more.

The GPU’s percentile rank of 68 places it above average, and its passmark G3D score of 16277 confirms its mid-range position. The fact that the combo rank is much lower (24th percentile) than the GPU’s individual rank (68th percentile) suggests that the GPU is not the sole problem; rather, the pairing with the CPU might be creating a bottleneck in Fivem’s specific engine. The RX 5700 XT’s 64 ROPs are likely the limiting factor at 4K, as fill-rate-heavy scenes in Fivem’s city environments could be taxing those units.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1080p, the data is rich with detail. With Low settings, the system achieves 157.2 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play. Medium settings drop this to 127 FPS, a 19.2% decrease, while High settings yield 97.9 FPS (a 37.7% decrease from Low). Ultra settings bring the frame rate down to 74.4 FPS, which is 52.7% lower than Low. This shows a smooth, predictable decline as settings increase, indicating that the GPU is handling the workload without any sudden cliffs.

Moving to 1440p, the pattern continues. Low settings produce 102.7 FPS, which is still very smooth. Medium settings yield 80.7 FPS, High gives 65.3 FPS, and Ultra settles at 51.2 FPS. The percentage drops from Low to Ultra at 1440p (50.1%) are similar to 1080p, suggesting the GPU is still the primary driver.

At 4K, the frame rates become more challenging. Low settings manage 54.7 FPS, which is borderline playable. Medium settings drop to 44.8 FPS, High to 36.1 FPS, and Ultra to 28.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is below the 30 FPS threshold, making it essentially unplayable for a smooth experience. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is a 46.7% drop, which is steeper than the 1080p to 1440p drop of 34.7%, reinforcing that the GPU is being overwhelmed at 4K.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For players targeting high refresh rates, the 1080p Low preset is the clear winner, delivering 157.2 FPS, which is ideal for competitive multiplayer where response time matters more than visual fidelity. If visual quality is a priority, 1080p High at 97.9 FPS provides an excellent balance, offering a 37.7% reduction from Low but still maintaining a very smooth experience above 90 FPS. The 1080p Ultra preset at 74.4 FPS is also viable for those who want maximum eye candy without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 1440p, the Medium preset at 80.7 FPS is the recommended sweet spot for a mixed experience, as it provides a solid frame rate while offering improved detail over Low. The 1440p High preset at 65.3 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the Ultra preset at 51.2 FPS should be avoided if frame rate stability is a concern. At 4K, the Low preset at 54.7 FPS is the only playable option, but even that requires a tolerance for lower visual fidelity; the Medium preset at 44.8 FPS is marginal, and High and Ultra are not recommended for smooth gameplay.

The data suggests that players should prioritize 1080p for the best experience, with the High preset offering the best visual-to-performance ratio. For 1440p, Medium is the pragmatic choice, allowing for a high frame rate without sacrificing too much detail.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache is a key feature for gaming, as it reduces memory latency. In Fivem, which is known for CPU-heavy multiplayer scenarios, the 12 threads are beneficial, but the measured FPS data suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at most settings.

The CPU’s synthetic benchmarks show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15045 and a single-core score of 2124. These scores indicate that the 3600 is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions. The fact that the system achieves 157.2 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU can handle high frame rates, but the performance gap between 1080p Low (157.2) and 1440p Low (102.7) is primarily due to the GPU’s resolution scaling.

However, the CPU’s percentile rank of 76 and its average benchmark score of 18129, which is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-11400 (18150), show that it is a competitive part. The combo rank being low (1361/1792) despite the CPU’s strong individual performance points to a potential mismatch in Fivem’s engine. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 3.60 GHz base clock may not be ideal for Fivem’s specific single-threaded or lightly-threaded workloads, even though the boost clock of 4.20 GHz helps. The data indicates that the CPU is capable of driving high frame rates at 1080p, but its contribution to the overall combo rank is limited by how the game utilizes its resources.
