Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti presents an interesting study in bottleneck dynamics within Fivem. This combination delivers playable frame rates across most settings, but the data reveals a clear shift in performance limitations as resolution and graphical load change. The measured results indicate a system that is well-balanced at lower resolutions but becomes progressively more GPU-bound at 4K, with specific settings dictating whether the processor or the graphics card is the primary constraint.

Resolution Scaling

The performance trajectory from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates the changing role of each component. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 228.7 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops this to 148 FPS, a reduction of approximately 35%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 83.5 FPS, which is a 64% decrease from the 1080p figure. This steep decline at lower settings suggests the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly, but the processor cannot feed it data fast enough to maintain higher rates.

The scaling behavior changes dramatically when graphical settings are increased. At Ultra settings, the average FPS at 1080p is 109.5. This drops to 72.6 at 1440p and then to 37.7 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is roughly 66%, which is similar to the Low setting drop. However, the absolute values are much lower, indicating that the GPU is now the dominant bottleneck. The RTX 3070 Ti is being pushed to its limits at 4K Ultra, and the CPU's performance is less relevant because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to expose any processor limitation.

The intermediate settings tell a similar story. At Medium settings, the FPS drops from 175.3 at 1080p to 115.2 at 1440p and 63.1 at 4K. At High settings, the progression is 143.9 to 95.7 to 49.7. The consistent pattern here is that the performance penalty for increasing resolution is more severe at lower settings. This indicates that at 1080p Low, the system is heavily CPU-bound, and adding resolution gives the GPU more work, which helps hide the processor's limitations. As settings increase, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, and resolution scaling follows a more predictable, GPU-limited curve.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader context of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 3070 Ti holds a rank of 717 out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places it in the upper half of all tested configurations, which is a commendable result given the CPU's position in its own market segment. The processor itself sits at the 75th percentile when compared to all CPUs, suggesting it is a solid mid-range performer. The GPU, however, is at the 74th percentile, indicating it is also a strong contender.

The combination's rank of 717 suggests that while both components are individually respectable, the pairing does not break into the top tier of performance for this game. This is likely due to the CPU's older architecture and lower core count relative to more modern high-end processors. The data shows that many other combinations are able to achieve higher frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU's performance ceiling becomes apparent. The rank is a holistic measure, and the system's performance is clearly held back by the processor in CPU-bound scenarios, preventing it from climbing higher in the rankings despite the GPU's capabilities.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. These specifications are relevant to Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to single-threaded performance in many scenarios. The processor's single-thread score in Geekbench is 1575, and its multi-core score is 6093. In Cinebench R23, it scores 1919 in single-core and 13593 in multi-core. These scores indicate a capable processor, but not one that dominates in single-threaded tasks.

In this game, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p with Low settings, where the system achieves 228.7 FPS. This high frame rate is a direct result of the GPU being underutilized, allowing the CPU to dictate the maximum output. The 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and the Passmark single-thread score of 2653 provide context for its processing power. While the 4600G is not a top-tier gaming CPU, it is sufficient to drive high frame rates in Fivem when the graphics load is low, as seen with the 228.7 FPS result. The 8 MB of shared L3 cache is also a factor, though its impact is difficult to isolate from the measured data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full set of measured results provides a detailed look at the system's performance across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from a low of 109.5 at Ultra to a high of 228.7 at Low. The Medium setting yields 175.3 FPS, and High produces 143.9 FPS. This data shows a clear gradient, with each step up in settings costing a significant number of frames.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 72.6 FPS at Ultra, 95.7 FPS at High, 115.2 FPS at Medium, and 148 FPS at Low. The pattern is consistent with 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower. The gap between Low and Ultra is 75.4 FPS, which is slightly narrower than the 119.2 FPS gap at 1080p, indicating the GPU is starting to become a more significant factor. At 3840x2160, the averages drop further to 37.7 FPS at Ultra, 49.7 FPS at High, 63.1 FPS at Medium, and 83.5 FPS at Low. The difference between Low and Ultra is now 45.8 FPS, which is the smallest gap across all resolutions. This is a strong indicator that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at 4K, as the performance scaling between settings is compressed.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus. Its memory bandwidth is 608.3 GB/s, which is substantial and helps with high-resolution textures. The GPU has a base clock of 1575 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz. Its raw compute power is rated at 21.75 TFLOPS for FP32 operations. These specifications are all relevant to Fivem, which can be demanding on memory bandwidth and raw fill rate at higher resolutions.

The GPU's role is most clearly demonstrated at 4K resolution. At 4K Ultra, the system only manages 37.7 FPS, which is the lowest result in the entire dataset. This is a clear indication that the RTX 3070 Ti is struggling to maintain playable frame rates at the highest settings. The Passmark G3D score of 23356 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3478 provide a synthetic benchmark context for this performance. When compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 3070 Ti shows a delta of -0.8% against the AMD Radeon RX 6700, indicating they perform nearly identically in synthetic benchmarks. However, in Fivem, the GPU's 8 GB of VRAM may become a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, as the game's textures and effects can consume a significant amount of memory. The data suggests the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, as the CPU is likely not the limiting factor when the frame rate is so low.
