Fivem

The data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX shows a configuration where the GPU is decisively the dominant component, yet the CPU's capabilities set a ceiling that becomes clearly visible at lower resolutions. The measured frame rates across the three resolutions and four quality presets provide a complete picture of where the bottleneck lies and what users can expect from this pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic pattern of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions, with the CPU becoming more relevant as resolution drops. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo produces 149.7 FPS. Moving to 1440p Ultra drops this to 98.8 FPS, a 34% reduction, and then to 54.4 FPS at 4K Ultra, a further 45% reduction from 1440p. This steep decline with increasing pixel count is a clear indicator that the RX 7900 XTX is the limiting factor at 4K, where its raw throughput cannot keep pace with the demands of the resolution.

However, the scaling pattern changes dramatically when examining the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 234.8 FPS. At 1440p Low, it still manages 199.1 FPS, a modest 15% drop. At 4K Low, the frame rate falls to 109.7 FPS, which is a 45% reduction from 1440p. The relatively small difference between 1080p and 1440p Low (234.8 vs 199.1 FPS) suggests that the CPU is beginning to limit performance at these lower loads, preventing the GPU from fully stretching its legs. The 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 4600G with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost of 4.20 GHz appears to be the constraint in these lighter scenarios.

The data shows that the gap between resolutions narrows as settings are lowered. At Ultra, the 1080p to 1440p drop is 34%, but at Low, it is only 15%. This compression indicates that the CPU is holding the system back at 1080p Low, as the GPU could theoretically render more frames if the processor could feed it faster. The 4K results, conversely, show the GPU struggling regardless of settings, with the Ultra preset only reaching 54.4 FPS versus 109.7 FPS at Low, a 50% difference that underscores the GPU's workload at this resolution.

Q: Does the 24 GB VRAM of the RX 7900 XTX appear to be a factor in the results?

A: The benchmark results show a clear performance drop at 4K Ultra (54.4 FPS) compared to 4K Low (109.7 FPS). This suggests the GPU's processing power, rather than its memory capacity, is the primary constraint, as the frame rate scales with the computational load of the settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the clear performance driver in this setup. Its specifications point to a high-end part: 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus with 960.0 GB/s bandwidth, and a boost clock of 2498 MHz. The GPU's 6144 shading units and 192 ROPs provide the raw compute necessary for high-resolution rendering. The data shows that at 4K, the GPU is the dominant bottleneck across all settings, with frame rates ranging from 54.4 FPS at Ultra to 109.7 FPS at Low.

The GPU's role becomes more nuanced at lower resolutions. At 1080p and 1440p, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU's limitations surface. For instance, at 1080p Medium, the system hits 216.4 FPS, which is only 18.4 FPS higher than 1440p Medium's 155 FPS. This relatively small gain from a resolution drop suggests the GPU is not fully saturated at 1080p. The RX 7900 XTX's performance is also reflected in its benchmark scores, with a Passmark G3D score of 31238 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6841. These scores place it in the 85th percentile of all GPUs, highlighting its capability.

The memory configuration of the RX 7900 XTX is substantial, but the measured FPS data does not indicate that VRAM capacity is a limiting factor. The frame rate differences between settings at the same resolution are driven by shader complexity and fill rate demands, not memory size. At 4K Ultra, the 54.4 FPS result is likely due to the GPU's compute units being overwhelmed, not a lack of memory. The GPU's 355 W TDP and 750 W suggested PSU indicate a power-hungry component, but these figures do not directly translate to the frame rate outcomes observed.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested configurations for Fivem, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX achieves a rank of 324 out of 1792 combos. This places it in the top 18% of all tested setups, which is a strong showing given the CPU's mid-range positioning. The CPU itself sits in the 75th percentile of all CPUs based on its average benchmark score of 17489, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a deltaPct of 0, the Intel Core i5-12450H with a deltaPct of 0.1, and the Intel Core i3-14100T with a deltaPct of -0.8. These scores indicate the 4600G is competitive with those processors, but it is not a top-tier part.

The GPU, on the other hand, is a high-end component. It ranks in the 85th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 44019. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 with a deltaPct of -0.4, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile with a deltaPct of 0.8, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 with a deltaPct of 1.6. The RX 7900 XTX's performance is clearly above average, yet the combo's rank of 324 suggests that the CPU is holding it back from the very top positions. A system with a more powerful processor would likely rank higher, as the GPU's potential is not fully realized in CPU-bound scenarios.

The rank of 324 out of 1792 is a solid result for a system built around a 4000-series CPU. It indicates that the GPU carries the load effectively, but the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Fivem's multiplayer environment. The combo's position reflects the GPU's strength, as it compensates for the CPU's moderate performance in most scenarios, except at very low settings where the CPU's limits are exposed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides 12 data points across three resolutions and four settings. At 1920x1080, the results are: Low 234.8 FPS, Medium 216.4 FPS, High 190 FPS, and Ultra 149.7 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with Ultra being 36% slower than Low. At 2560x1440, the figures are: Low 199.1 FPS, Medium 155 FPS, High 124.3 FPS, and Ultra 98.8 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra here is 50%, which is more pronounced than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is working harder. At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 109.7 FPS, Medium 89.1 FPS, High 70.4 FPS, and Ultra 54.4 FPS. The decline from Low to Ultra is again 50%, showing a consistent pattern of the GPU being the primary constraint at 4K.

Comparing across resolutions, the impact of lowering settings is clear. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 85.1 FPS. At 1440p, that difference grows to 100.3 FPS. At 4K, the difference is 55.3 FPS. This non-linear scaling suggests that at 4K, even the Low preset is demanding enough to keep the GPU busy, whereas at 1080p, the CPU's limits are hit first at Low settings. The 1080p Low result of 234.8 FPS is notably higher than the 1440p Low of 199.1 FPS, but the gap is smaller than the pixel count difference would suggest, reinforcing the CPU bottleneck at these lower loads.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 4K gaming, the data shows that the Low preset is the only viable option for smooth play, as it achieves 109.7 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K drops to 89.1 FPS, which is still playable, but High and Ultra fall below 70.4 FPS and 54.4 FPS respectively, which may be too low for fast-paced multiplayer. At 1440p, the Medium preset offers a good balance at 155 FPS, while High delivers 124.3 FPS and Ultra 98.8 FPS. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 199.1 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play but sacrifices visual quality.

At 1080p, the High preset provides 190 FPS, which is a strong result for most users, while Ultra still manages 149.7 FPS. The Medium preset at 216.4 FPS and Low at 234.8 FPS are excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors, but the CPU is likely limiting the maximum achievable frame rate. For a balanced experience, the Medium preset at 1440p appears to be the sweet spot, offering 155 FPS with better visual fidelity than Low. For 4K, the Low preset is recommended to maintain a high frame rate, as the GPU cannot handle higher settings without dropping below 90 FPS. The Ultra preset is only suitable for 1080p, where it still delivers 149.7 FPS, but the visual gains over High are marginal relative to the 40.3 FPS loss.
