Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 578th out of 3,707 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the 84th percentile of all combos tested. This is a strong position, indicating that the pairing delivers performance well above the median for this multiplayer title. The data shows a system that is firmly in the upper tier of results, though not at the very top, suggesting that while the hardware is capable, there are other combinations that achieve higher frame rates in this specific game.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 578 out of 3,707 combos places this pairing in the top 15.6% of all tested systems. This is a notable achievement, as it shows the combination of the Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 4080 is well-matched for Fivem, producing frame rates that outperform the vast majority of other hardware pairings. The rank reflects a system that can handle the game’s demands with authority, even if it does not reach the absolute peak of performance charts. The data indicates the bottleneck is not severe enough to drag the combo down into mid-tier territory, and the results are consistent with a high-end GPU paired with a mid-range CPU that is still capable of feeding it adequate data in this title. In percentile terms, the combo sits comfortably above the 80th percentile, which underscores its effectiveness for this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM4 platform. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, and it has a 32 MB shared L3 cache. The CPU’s benchmark scores show a balanced profile: it achieves a 3DMark single-thread score of 696 and a max-thread score of 4,603. In Cinebench R23, it scores 2,124 in single-core and 15,045 in multi-core. The CPU’s percentile vs all CPUs is 71, with an average benchmark score of 17,035, placing it very close to rivals like the Intel Core i7-1260P (17,007, deltaPct 0.2) and the Intel Core i5-11400 (17,067, deltaPct -0.2).

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer title with significant CPU overhead due to the number of connected players and dynamic world events, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is a relevant factor. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 225 FPS, which is the highest average recorded in any configuration. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU is able to keep up with the GPU’s demand for frames, as the GPU is not yet the limiting factor. The single-thread performance, which is crucial for game logic and physics, is adequate, but the CPU’s age is evident when looking at the 4K Ultra results, where the frame rate drops to 60 FPS, indicating that the CPU may struggle to maintain the high instruction throughput required at the highest settings. The boost clock of 4.20 GHz is a modest figure by modern standards, and the data implies that while the CPU does not cripple performance, it does set a ceiling that the RTX 4080 cannot fully overcome in every scenario.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a high-end graphics card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, with a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. The GPU’s raw computational power is substantial, with 9,728 shading units and a FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS. Its benchmark results are strong, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,567 and a Passmark G3D score of 34,457. The GPU’s percentile vs all GPUs is 86, and its average benchmark score is 54,247, which is only 0.1% behind the RTX 4080 SUPER (54,209) and 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828, deltaPct -1.1).

In the context of Fivem, the RTX 4080’s role is to render the game world at high resolutions and settings. The data shows that at 4K High settings, the system achieves 77 FPS, while at 4K Ultra, it drops to 60 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is capable of delivering playable frame rates at 4K, but the margins are tight. The 16 GB VRAM is ample for the game’s textures, and the boost clock of 2505 MHz is high enough to process the draw calls efficiently. However, the GPU’s performance is often capped by the CPU in this pairing, especially at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system hits 225 FPS, which is a GPU-limited scenario where the card is pushing as many frames as the CPU can feed it. The GPU is clearly the dominant component in this system, but the data suggests that Fivem’s engine does not always allow the RTX 4080 to stretch its legs fully, as the frame rate differences between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p (225 vs 163 FPS) are significant, pointing to a mix of CPU and GPU workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 225 FPS on Low settings, 207 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 176 FPS and maximum of 238 FPS), 191 FPS on High, and 163 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a consistent scaling, with a 27.5% drop in frame rate from Low to Ultra, indicating that the GPU is still the primary driver at this resolution, but the CPU’s limits start to appear at Ultra settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system delivers 196 FPS on Low, 173 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 147 FPS and maximum of 199 FPS), 138 FPS on High, and 107 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is noticeable but not drastic, with the Ultra setting losing 34.4% of its frame rate compared to 1080p Ultra. This suggests that the GPU is becoming more stressed, but the CPU is still keeping pace.

At 3840x2160, the system manages 122 FPS on Low, 96 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 82 FPS and maximum of 110 FPS), 77 FPS on High, and 60 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show a significant performance hit, with the Ultra setting achieving exactly 60 FPS, which is the minimum for a smooth experience on most displays. The data indicates that at 4K, the GPU is heavily utilized, and the CPU’s limitations are less of a factor, as the frame rate is mostly dictated by the graphics card’s rendering capacity Mend.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals how the system’s performance degrades as pixel count increases. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings drops by approximately 30%, while from 1440p to 4K, the drop is another 40%. For example, at High settings, the system goes from 191 FPS at 1080p to 138 FPS at 1440p (a 27.7% decrease) and then to 77 FPS at 4K (a 44.2% decrease from 1440p). This pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as the frame rate scales almost inversely with the pixel count.

However, the data also shows that the CPU becomes a limiting factor at 1080p. At Low settings, the system achieves 225 FPS at 1080p, but only 196 FPS at 1440p and 122 FPS at 4K. The 1080p Low result is remarkably high, suggesting that the CPU is able to feed the GPU enough frames to reach this level, but it cannot push beyond it due to its single-thread performance. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is a 45.8% drop, which is less than the 61.5% drop at High settings (from 191 to 77 FPS), indicating that at lower settings, the CPU’s limitations are more exposed. At 4K Ultra, the system hits a hard 60 FPS, which is likely a combination of GPU load and CPU bottleneck, as the game’s logic becomes more demanding at the highest settings.

Settings Recommendations

The data points to Medium settings as the sweet spot for this combo. At 1080p Medium, the system achieves 207 FPS with a minimum of 176 FPS, which is very close to the Low setting’s 225 FPS but with better visual quality. At 1440p Medium, the system delivers 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. Even at 4K Medium, the system manages 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS, which is playable and offers a good balance between frame rate and visual fidelity.

Choosing Ultra settings comes with a significant performance cost. At 4K Ultra, the system drops to 60 FPS, which is the bare minimum for a playable experience, while at 1440p Ultra, it achieves 107 FPS, which is still good but represents a 38% drop from Medium. For players who prioritize frame rate, the data suggests that Medium settings provide the best experience, as the frame rate is high enough to avoid any stutter, and the visual improvement from Low to Medium is tangible. High settings are a viable middle ground, but the FPS at 4K (77) is noticeably lower than Medium (96), making Medium the more consistent choice across all resolutions.
