Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT delivers a highly playable experience in Fivem, though the data reveals a clear performance hierarchy dictated by resolution and preset. At 1080p, the combination is exceptionally strong, with the Low preset achieving a triple-digit average. However, the frame rate curve flattens considerably as resolution increases, and the Ultra preset consistently produces the lowest performance across all tested resolutions. This analysis breaks down the measured results, contextualizes the component roles, and provides actionable settings guidance based solely on the benchmark data.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a pronounced and predictable drop in performance as resolution scales from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the High preset, the average frame rate falls from 100 FPS at 1080p to 66 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 37 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44% reduction from 1440p to 4K, indicating that the rendering load increases steeply with pixel count. The pattern is consistent across all settings, with the Low preset dropping from 159 FPS at 1080p to 105 FPS at 1440p and 58 FPS at 4K.

The scaling behavior strongly suggests that the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the GPU has ample headroom, allowing the Ryzen 5 4600G to feed it efficiently, which is why the Low preset can reach 159 FPS. As resolution climbs to 4K, the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are stretched thin, leading to the sub-60 FPS results seen at High and Medium presets. The fact that the Ultra preset only manages 28 FPS at 4K, compared to 37 FPS at High, underscores how the combination of high pixel count and demanding settings overwhelms the GPU.

Interestingly, the frame rate differences between presets narrow at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the delta between Low and Ultra is 81 FPS (159 vs 78), whereas at 4K, that delta shrinks to 30 FPS (58 vs 28). This compression indicates that at 4K, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, and reducing settings yields diminishing returns compared to the dramatic gains seen at lower resolutions. For players targeting smooth gameplay, 1440p appears to be the sweet spot, as even the Medium preset holds an average of 83 FPS, while 4K requires significant compromises to stay above 30 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1919 in single-core, placing it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs. This level of multi-threaded performance is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the RX 6600 XT in Fivem, particularly at 1080p where the measured frame rates are high.

The data indicates that the CPU is not the primary constraint in this game, as frame rates scale heavily with resolution and settings—a hallmark of GPU-bound scenarios. At 1080p Low, the 159 FPS average suggests the CPU can sustain high instruction throughput, but the GPU is still managing to keep up. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 12 threads are more than adequate for a multiplayer title like Fivem, which typically relies on a few heavily loaded threads for game logic and physics. Its single-core score of 1919 in Cinebench R23 indicates solid per-thread performance, which is critical for maintaining stable minimums in CPU-intensive scenes.

However, the CPU's influence becomes more evident when comparing the 1080p results to those at higher resolutions. At 4K, the frame rate drops are entirely attributable to the GPU, as the CPU's workload remains relatively constant regardless of pixel count. The fact that the Low preset at 1080p achieves 159 FPS while the Ultra preset at the same resolution only reaches 78 FPS suggests that the GPU is also taxed at higher settings, but the CPU is never the limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 4600G's L3 cache of 8 MB shared across all cores is modest by modern standards, but it does not appear to hinder performance in this specific game based on the measured results.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT holds a rank of 2608 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This percentile placement, roughly in the 70th percentile from the bottom, indicates that the combo is mid-to-low tier when compared to the entire spectrum of tested hardware. The rank reflects the aggregate performance across all resolutions and settings, and it underscores that while this pairing is capable of smooth 1080p and 1440p gameplay, it falls behind in higher-resolution or max-settings scenarios.

The GPU's individual percentile rank of 70 among all GPUs is mirrored by the combo's overall position, but the CPU's percentile of 71 suggests a balanced pairing. However, the combo rank of 2608 out of 3707 is not directly proportional to these component percentiles, as game-specific optimization and CPU-GPU interplay play significant roles. In Fivem, the data shows that the combo excels at lower resolutions, but the 4K results drag down its overall standing. For reference, the nearest rivals to the CPU in synthetic benchmarks, such as the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, show negligible performance deltas (0.1%), reinforcing that the CPU is not the weak link. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630, is within 0.7% in average score, yet the combo's in-game rank suggests that real-world Fivem performance can deviate from synthetic averages.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 stands out as the optimal configuration from the measured data. It delivers an average of 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS, ensuring that gameplay remains fluid even in demanding scenes. This is superior to the High preset at the same resolution, which averages 66 FPS and offers no minimum FPS data, suggesting less consistent performance. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset provides an average of 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, though the Low preset at 159 FPS offers even higher headroom.

For players prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, the High preset at 1080p is the highest setting that maintains a 100 FPS average, but it sacrifices the smoothness of lower presets. The Ultra preset is not recommended for any resolution, as it drops below 80 FPS at 1080p and falls to 28 FPS at 4K, making it unsuitable for consistent play. At 4K, the Low preset is the only viable option, achieving 58 FPS, but even this requires a tolerance for sub-60 FPS gameplay. The data suggests that the Medium preset is the sweet spot across all resolutions, offering a 20% performance improvement over High at 1440p while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. The Low preset averages 159 FPS, followed by Medium at 126 FPS with a min of 107 and max of 144. High drops to 100 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 78 FPS. These numbers show a clear linear progression, with each step up in settings costing roughly 20-30 FPS. The 1080p results are the most playable, with even Ultra exceeding 60 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance halves in some cases. Low averages 105 FPS, Medium averages 83 FPS (min 70, max 95), High averages 66 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51 FPS. The 1440p results are still respectable, with Medium and Low providing smooth gameplay, but High and Ultra begin to show strain. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low averages 58 FPS, Medium averages 46 FPS (min 39, max 53), High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The 4K numbers indicate that this resolution is only feasible with the Low preset, and even then, the experience is marginal.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, is the dominant component in this pairing for Fivem. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock of 2589 MHz and game clock of 2359 MHz provide substantial compute throughput, with a pixel rate of 165.7 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 331.4 GTexel/s. These specifications are directly reflected in the game's performance scaling, as the GPU's ability to fill pixels and sample textures is the primary determinant of frame rates.

The data shows that the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K, as the frame rates across all settings are consistently low. At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to push high frame rates, but at 4K, the 8 GB VRAM capacity and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for high-detail rendering, leading to the observed averages of 37 FPS at High and 28 FPS at Ultra. The GPU's 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs are also taxed heavily at higher resolutions, explaining the steep drop from 1080p to 4K. The GPU's percentile rank of 70 among all GPUs aligns with its mid-range positioning, but in Fivem, its performance is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, while 4K remains out of reach for smooth play. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630, is within 0.7% in synthetic scores, yet the RX 6600 XT's superior memory bandwidth and compute capabilities are evident in the 1080p results.
