CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 2 architecture (Renoir) using TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This is a 65 W part on the AM4 socket, and it includes Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics, though in this configuration the discrete GPU handles rendering. The CPU's L3 cache is 8 MB shared, which is modest by modern standards but adequate for many multiplayer titles.

Benchmark data shows this CPU sits at the 75th percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 17489. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (avg score 17482, delta 0%), the Intel Core i5-12450H (17475, +0.1%), and the Intel Core i3-14100T (17636, -0.8%). In multithreaded workloads, the 4600G achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593, while its single-core score is 1919. Geekbench results show 6093 multicore and 1575 single-core. These numbers place it as a solid mid-range performer, clearly capable of feeding a modern GPU in most scenarios.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification of Grand Theft Auto V, CPU performance matters greatly due to the heavy scripting and entity simulation that occurs in populated servers. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combination reaches 231.6 FPS average, which suggests the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions. However, the gap between 1080p and 4K results reveals how the CPU's capabilities interact with GPU load. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 42 FPS, indicating that the GPU is struggling at that extreme setting, but the CPU's single-thread performance—measured at 726 in 3DMark single-thread and 2653 in PassMark single-thread—will still matter for maintaining consistent frame times in busy areas of the game world.

The 4600G's 12 threads provide enough parallelism for Fivem's background tasks, but its Zen 2 architecture and 8 MB L3 cache are not top-tier. In a game where large numbers of players, vehicles, and scripts interact, the CPU's per-core efficiency is crucial. The data indicates that this processor can push high frame rates at 1080p, but the user should expect some CPU-related frame dips in densely populated servers, particularly when paired with a high-end GPU like the RX 9070.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture (Navi 48 chip) using a 4 nm process from TSMC. It has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1330 MHz, with a boost clock of 2520 MHz and a game clock of 2070 MHz. Memory runs at 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective). The card features 3584 shading units, 224 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, with 56 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 performance is 36.13 TFLOPS, and it draws up to 220 W via dual 8-pin connectors.

This GPU ranks at the 79th percentile among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 34780. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA A2 (34866, -0.2%), NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (34677, +0.3%), AMD Radeon HD 7970 (34541, +0.7%), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (34511, +0.8%). The RX 9070's 16 GB VRAM is generous for Fivem, which is not typically a VRAM-heavy title, but it provides headroom for high-resolution textures and modded content.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes dominant at higher resolutions and settings. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 42 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 1080p Ultra result of 122.9 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K Ultra. The RX 9070's memory bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s is substantial, but Fivem's engine and the added overhead of multiplayer mods can tax even powerful GPUs at extreme settings. At 1080p Low, the GPU achieves 231.6 FPS, showing that it can easily handle the game at lower loads, but the CPU becomes more relevant at these settings.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of diminishing performance as resolution increases. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 231.6 at 1080p to 159.6 at 1440p, then to 87.8 at 4K. That is a 31% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. At Medium settings, the numbers go from 194.7 at 1080p to 125 at 1440p to 71.4 at 4K. High settings show 155.3 at 1080p, 99 at 1440p, and 58.5 at 4K. Ultra settings produce 122.9 at 1080p, 80 at 1440p, and 42 at 4K.

These scaling patterns indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The percentage drops are consistent with a GPU-bound scenario: as pixel count increases, the RX 9070's rendering workload grows, and frame rates fall accordingly. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence, as evidenced by the relatively high frame rates across all settings—even Ultra stays above 120 FPS. The fact that 1080p Low yields 231.6 FPS suggests the CPU can keep up with the GPU at that resolution, but the 4600G's limits would likely show in frame time consistency rather than average FPS.

The data points to a balanced pairing at 1440p, where the CPU and GPU share the workload more evenly. At 4K, the GPU's limitations are clear, as even Low settings only produce 87.8 FPS. This suggests that users targeting 4K should stick to Medium or High settings, or consider a more powerful GPU if they want Ultra performance. Conversely, 1080p users will find this combo highly capable, with the CPU becoming the more likely source of frame drops in heavy multiplayer scenarios.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 194.7 FPS, which is comfortable for high-refresh-rate monitors and leaves headroom for CPU-heavy moments in multiplayer. At 1440p, Medium produces 125 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. At 4K, Medium drops to 71.4 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play.

High settings are also viable, especially for users who prioritize visual fidelity. At 1080p, High reaches 155.3 FPS, and at 1440p it hits 99 FPS. The 4K High result of 58.5 FPS is borderline, but it could be acceptable for single-player or less demanding servers. Ultra settings should be avoided at 4K, where the 42 FPS average will feel sluggish. At 1080p Ultra (122.9 FPS) and 1440p Ultra (80 FPS), the experience is playable, but the performance cost over High settings is significant.

For most users, Medium at 1440p appears to be the sweet spot, offering 125 FPS with a good balance of visual quality and responsiveness. If the user has a 1080p monitor with a 144Hz or higher refresh rate, High settings at 155.3 FPS would be the better choice, providing more visual detail without sacrificing smoothness. The Low preset, while delivering the highest frame rates (231.6 at 1080p), sacrifices too much visual quality for the modest performance gain over Medium.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 ranks 608th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. That places it in the 66th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of the combos in the database. This is a respectable ranking, given that the CPU is a mid-range part from 2020 while the GPU is a high-end card from 2025.

The ranking reflects the balanced nature of this pairing. While the RX 9070 is capable of much higher performance in GPU-bound scenarios, the 4600G's limitations in single-threaded tasks (3DMark single-thread score of 726) prevent the combo from reaching the upper echelons of the ranking. Combos with newer, higher-clocked CPUs would likely rank higher, as Fivem's multiplayer nature rewards strong single-core performance.

The 608th rank out of 1792 combos suggests that this configuration is a reasonable mid-tier choice. It is not a top performer, but it is far from the bottom. Users should understand that the CPU is the weaker link in this pairing, and upgrading to a more powerful processor would likely improve the combo's ranking more than upgrading the GPU would. The data supports this interpretation, as the GPU at 79th percentile is significantly stronger relative to its peers than the CPU at 75th percentile.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The following table presents the exact measured average FPS values for this combo in Fivem:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 (4K) | Low | 87.8 |

| 3840x2160 (4K) | Medium | 71.4 |

| 3840x2160 (4K) | High | 58.5 |

| 3840x2160 (4K) | Ultra | 42 |

| 2560x1440 (1440p) | Low | 159.6 |

| 2560x1440 (1440p) | Medium | 125 |

| 2560x1440 (1440p) | High | 99 |

| 2560x1440 (1440p) | Ultra | 80 |

| 1920x1080 (1080p) | Low | 231.6 |

| 1920x1080 (1080p) | Medium | 194.7 |

| 1920x1080 (1080p) | High | 155.3 |

| 1920x1080 (1080p) | Ultra | 122.9 |

At 1080p, the combo delivers excellent performance across all settings, with even Ultra staying above 120 FPS. The jump from Low to Ultra costs roughly 109 FPS, which is a substantial trade-off for visual quality. At 1440p, the range spans from 80 FPS at Ultra to 159.6 FPS at Low, making this resolution the most flexible for different preferences. At 4K, the performance drops significantly, with only Low settings exceeding 80 FPS. Ultra at 4K is the weakest result at 42 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay.

These numbers confirm that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. At 4K, users will need to compromise on settings to maintain playable frame rates. The data also shows that the scaling from Low to Ultra is not linear—the largest performance penalty occurs when moving from High to Ultra, particularly at higher resolutions. This suggests that Ultra settings should be reserved for users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, while Medium or High provides the best overall experience for most players.
