A: At 4K Ultra, the combo averages only 32.9 FPS, while 4K High produces 42.4 FPS. The substantial drop from 1080p Ultra (89.5 FPS) to 4K Ultra (32.9 FPS) suggests the GPU’s memory capacity and bandwidth are significant factors at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration, combined with the GPU’s 1830 MHz base and 2460 MHz boost clocks, determines how the card handles Fivem’s rendering load. The GPU’s 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores are present but Fivem’s data shows traditional rasterization performance matters most.

The RTX 4060’s 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate are the key specifications driving Fivem’s frame rates. At 1080p, the GPU delivers 118 FPS on High settings and 89.5 FPS on Ultra, demonstrating sufficient headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors. The 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes more relevant at 1440p and 4K, where pixel throughput directly impacts performance.

The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for 1080p and 1440p in Fivem, where the measured data shows playable frame rates. At 4K, however, the combination of higher resolution demands and the 128-bit memory bus becomes apparent — the 42.4 FPS average at 4K High is below the 60 FPS threshold, and 4K Ultra drops to 32.9 FPS. The GPU’s 272.0 GB/s bandwidth appears to be a limiting factor at 4K.

The GPU’s percentile ranking against all tested GPUs is 66, indicating it performs better than two-thirds of the database’s GPU collection. Its architecture, based on the AD107 chip with 18,900 million transistors on a 5 nm process, provides efficient performance per watt — the 115 W TDP suggests thermal headroom is not a concern in most systems.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p, the combo averages 189.9 FPS on Low, 150.1 on Medium, 118 on High, and 89.5 on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, these figures drop to 122.3, 100.4, 78.8, and 58.5 respectively. At 4K, the averages fall to 68.1, 54.3, 42.4, and 32.9.

The percentage drops between 1080p and 1440p are consistent across settings: 35.6% for Low, 33.1% for Medium, 33.2% for High, and 34.6% for Ultra. This uniformity suggests the scaling is resolution-driven rather than setting-dependent. The 1440p to 4K transition shows larger drops: 44.3% for Low, 45.9% for Medium, 46.2% for High, and 43.8% for Ultra.

These patterns indicate the system is CPU-limited at 1080p Low, where the 189.9 FPS average exceeds what the Ryzen 5 3600’s single-thread performance (2,124 in Cinebench R23 single-core) can sustain. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the bottleneck — the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle to maintain frame rates at 4K.

The data shows that even at 4K Low, the combo achieves 68.1 FPS, which is playable. However, the 4K Ultra result of 32.9 FPS demonstrates the GPU’s limitations at maximum settings. The 1080p Ultra result of 89.5 FPS suggests the system is well-balanced for high-refresh gaming at this resolution, with neither component severely limiting the other.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1024th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 57th percentile. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing — the CPU’s 76th percentile performance (average benchmark score of 18,129) is slightly below the GPU’s 66th percentile, but the combination still lands above the median of all tested systems.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks provide context for its performance ceiling. The Intel Core i5-11400 scores 18,150, a mere 0.1% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores 18,101, 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 scores 18,158 (0.2% higher) and the AMD EPYC 9274F scores 18,189 (0.3% higher). These margins are negligible, meaning the Ryzen 5 3600’s Fivem performance should be comparable to these CPUs.

The RTX 4060’s nearest rivals show similar tight clustering. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 23,321 (0.6% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti scores 23,338 (0.7% higher), the Intel Arc B580 scores 23,021 (0.7% lower), and the AMD Radeon 760M scores 22,999 (0.8% lower). This indicates the GPU is squarely in the middle of its performance class.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 189.9 FPS average on Low settings, 150.1 FPS on Medium, 118 FPS on High, and 89.5 FPS on Ultra. These results show a 52.9% performance drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 122.3 FPS (Low), 100.4 FPS (Medium), 78.8 FPS (High), and 58.5 FPS (Ultra). The drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 52.2%, nearly identical to the 1080p scaling. This consistency suggests the settings scaling is resolution-independent.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 68.1 FPS (Low), 54.3 FPS (Medium), 42.4 FPS (High), and 32.9 FPS (Ultra). The Low to Ultra drop at 4K is 51.7%, again consistent with lower resolutions. However, the absolute values show that only Low and Medium settings at 4K achieve playable frame rates above 50 FPS.

The 1080p results are particularly notable for high-refresh-rate displays. The 189.9 FPS Low average and 150.1 FPS Medium average both exceed 144 Hz, while the 118 FPS High average approaches it. Only Ultra settings at 1080p fall below 100 FPS, indicating the combo is capable of driving 144 Hz monitors at most settings.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gaming, High settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance — the 118 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS threshold and close to 144 Hz. Ultra settings drop to 89.5 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices 24.2% of the High setting’s frame rate for marginal visual gains. Low settings at 189.9 FPS are unnecessary unless chasing maximum frame rates.

At 1440p, Medium settings deliver 100.4 FPS average, which is the best combination of smoothness and visual fidelity. High settings at 78.8 FPS remain playable, while Ultra drops to 58.5 FPS — below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider minimum for smooth gameplay. Low settings at 122.3 FPS are viable for competitive play.

For 4K, the data shows that only Low settings (68.1 FPS) provide a consistently smooth experience. Medium settings at 54.3 FPS are borderline playable, while High (42.4 FPS) and Ultra (32.9 FPS) fall below acceptable thresholds for most players. Users targeting 4K should expect to use Low settings or consider reducing resolution to 1440p for higher quality.

The overall recommendation is to prioritize 1080p with High settings or 1440p with Medium settings. Both configurations maintain frame rates above 100 FPS while preserving visual quality. For users with 4K displays, the data indicates that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are insufficient for high-quality Fivem at that resolution, making 1440p the practical ceiling for this combo.
