Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data offers a clear progression for optimizing the experience. For players targeting the highest refresh rates, the Low preset at 1920x1080 delivers an average of 175 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play. However, the Medium preset at 1080p provides a better balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 138 FPS and a minimum of 117 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay without sacrificing too much detail. This is the recommended preset for most users seeking a fluid experience.

Moving up to the High preset at 1920x1080 yields 111 FPS average, which remains highly playable and offers a significant visual upgrade over Medium. The data suggests that High at 1080p is the best choice for those prioritizing image quality while maintaining a frame rate well above the 60 FPS threshold. For users with 1440p monitors, the High preset at 2560x1440 produces an average of 73 FPS, which is acceptable for slower-paced exploration but may feel less responsive in fast-action scenarios; the Medium preset at 1440p, with an average of 91 FPS, offers a more comfortable margin.

At 4K resolution, the performance drops significantly. The High preset at 3840x2160 only averages 40 FPS, while the Ultra preset falls to 31 FPS. The Low preset at 4K averages 64 FPS, but this requires a substantial reduction in visual fidelity. Given the data, the optimal experience for this combo is to stick with 1080p or 1440p resolution, using the Medium or High presets. The High preset at 1080p appears to be the best overall compromise, offering strong visual quality with a high average frame rate.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is a discrete GPU based on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process. It features 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The card operates with a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2990 MHz. It is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. These specifications place it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16014.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution and settings increase. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 175, suggesting the GPU is not heavily taxed. However, as settings rise to Ultra at the same resolution, the average drops to 86 FPS. This trend is amplified at 3840x2160, where the GPU's limitations are clearly exposed; the average FPS falls from 64 on Low to 31 on Ultra. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K Ultra results indicate that the memory bandwidth and compute power are stretched thin at that resolution.

The GPU's benchmark scores corroborate its performance class. Its Passmark G3D score is 17631, and it achieves 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance. These figures align with its position relative to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which it trails by a mere 0.7% in average benchmark score. The data suggests that the RX 9060 is a capable mid-range card that can handle Fivem's demands at mainstream resolutions, but it is not designed for high-refresh 4K gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings presets.

At 1920x1080, the results are robust. The Low preset achieves an average of 175 FPS. The Medium preset averages 138 FPS, with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS. The High preset averages 111 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 86 FPS. This shows a steady decline of roughly 20-25% with each step up in settings, but even the lowest average (86 FPS on Ultra) remains comfortably above standard refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, performance scales downward as expected. The Low preset averages 115 FPS, which is still excellent for high-refresh monitors. The Medium preset averages 91 FPS, with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. The High preset averages 73 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 56 FPS. The data indicates that 1440p is viable for all settings, though the Ultra preset may require adaptive sync to mask the lower frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the obvious bottleneck. The Low preset averages 64 FPS, which is playable but a significant drop from the 115 FPS at 1440p. The Medium preset averages 50 FPS, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 58 FPS. The High preset averages 40 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages only 31 FPS. These numbers suggest that 4K gaming is only feasible with Low or Medium settings, and even then, the experience may not feel consistently smooth.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination ranks 1714 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 57th percentile of all tested systems, indicating a mid-pack performance tier. While the raw frame rates at 1080p are high, the overall ranking is influenced by the combination's performance across all resolutions and settings, including the weak 4K results.

The ranking suggests that while this combo is far from the top, it provides a solid baseline for the game. The CPU's percentile ranking of 71st against all CPUs is higher than the GPU's 59th percentile, implying that the processor is a relatively stronger component in this pairing. However, the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's struggle at higher resolutions. The data shows that this system is best utilized as a 1080p or 1440p machine, where it can compete favorably with other mid-range setups. It is not a high-end contender, but it is not a low-end outlier either, sitting firmly in the middle of the pack.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Renoir. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. It features 8 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU is built on a 7 nm process and sits in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507.

In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 175 FPS, a figure that is likely constrained by the CPU's single-thread performance rather than the GPU. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score is 726, and its Passmark single-thread score is 2653, indicating moderate single-core capability. Its multi-threaded performance is stronger, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593, which helps in handling the game's various background tasks and physics calculations.

The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases. At 4K, the frame rates are clearly limited by the GPU, as the CPU has more headroom to feed the graphics card. The data shows that the CPU is not a significant bottleneck at higher resolutions, but it may limit the maximum achievable frame rate at 1080p with Low settings. The 12 threads provide adequate support for the multiplayer aspects of Fivem, which often involve numerous connected players and dynamic world elements.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degredation as resolution increases, indicating a shift in the bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops by approximately 35-40% across all settings. For example, High settings fall from 111 FPS to 73 FPS, a 34% reduction. This scaling is consistent with the increased pixel count requiring more GPU processing power.

The transition from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 shows an even steeper decline, with High settings dropping from 73 FPS to 40 FPS, a 45% reduction. This accelerated drop at 4K is a strong indicator that the GPU is the limiting component at this resolution. The RX 9060's 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 191.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient to maintain playable frame rates at the highest detail settings in 4K.

Conversely, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p is less severe, suggesting that the system is still somewhat balanced at these resolutions. The fact that the CPU's performance is relatively consistent across resolutions, while the GPU's workload scales directly with pixel count, explains this behavior. The data indicates that for this combo, 1080p and 1440p are the optimal resolutions, as they allow the CPU and GPU to work together efficiently without one component becoming a severe bottleneck. The 4K results highlight the GPU's limitations, making it clear that this system is not intended for ultra-high-resolution gaming.
