Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination presents a study in balance within Fivem, a multiplayer title where frame rates are heavily influenced by both the CPU and GPU. The measured data reveals a system that can deliver high refresh rates at 1080p, but which progressively becomes more GPU-limited as resolution increases. The Ryzen 5 4600G, a 6-core/12-thread processor from the 4000 series based on the Zen 2 architecture, pairs with the RTX 4060, an Ada Lovelace GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, the role each component plays, and what the data indicates about the limiting factors in this configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior of this CPU-GPU pair is clearly defined by the measured FPS data. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 186.5 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low settings, the average drops to 121.4 FPS, a reduction of approximately 35%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 66.3 FPS, which is a 45% drop from the 1440p figure and a 64% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline as resolution increases strongly indicates that the rendering load is scaling with pixel count, and the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern shifts when examining higher quality settings. For High settings, the frame rate drops from 117.5 FPS at 1080p, to 76.1 FPS at 1440p (a 35% decrease), and then to 41.9 FPS at 4K (a further 45% decrease). The consistent percentage drops across setting levels suggest that the game’s engine is scaling its workload predictably with resolution. The data shows that at 1080p, the system is capable of exceeding 90 FPS even on Ultra settings, indicating that the CPU is able to feed the GPU sufficiently at this resolution. However, at 4K with Ultra settings, the average FPS falls to 35.9, which is a reduction of 62% from the 1080p Ultra score of 93.5 FPS. This reveals that the RTX 4060, with its 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus, is the limiting component at 4K, as the pixel throughput demands outpace its capabilities.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G’s specifications play a critical role in Fivem’s performance. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it provides a solid foundation for the game’s multiplayer workloads. The processor has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its Zen 2 architecture, built on a 7 nm process, is a mature design that balances power and efficiency. The 8 MB of shared L3 cache is a moderate amount, which can affect performance in scenarios that require frequent data access. In synthetic benchmarks, the processor scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1919 in single-core tests. This places it in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, indicating it is a capable mid-range processor.

The 3DMark results show a scaling pattern that is relevant to gaming. The score for 2 threads is 1430, which jumps to 2732 for 4 threads, and 4138 for 8 threads. The maximum thread score is 4889, which is only slightly higher than the 8-thread score. This indicates that the CPU’s performance scaling diminishes beyond 8 threads, which is typical for games like Fivem that may not fully utilize all 12 threads. The data suggests that the CPU is not the primary constraint at 1080p, as the system delivers 186.5 FPS at Low settings. However, the 186.5 FPS figure at Low settings likely represents a ceiling imposed by the CPU’s single-thread performance, as the GPU would be underutilized at such low settings. The single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark and 1919 in Cinebench R23 support this, as these tasks are critical for game logic and frame pacing.

Comparing to its rivals, the Ryzen 5 4600G is positioned closely to several other processors. It is 0.1% slower than the Intel Core i5-12450H, which has an average score of 17475. It is also 0.8% faster than the Intel Core i3-14100T, which scores 17636. The data shows the 4600G is 1% slower than the Intel Core i3-13100F. These tight margins indicate that the 4600G is competitive with these processors in general compute tasks, but its performance in Fivem will be dependent on the game’s specific engine optimizations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across different resolutions and settings.

At 1920x1080, the system is highly capable. With Low settings, the average FPS is 186.5, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings reduce the average to 148.7 FPS, a decrease of 20% from Low. High settings yield 117.5 FPS, which is still very smooth. Ultra settings produce an average of 93.5 FPS, which is playable for most users. The gap between Low and Ultra is 93 FPS, representing a 50% performance drop.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU’s limits. Low settings average 121.4 FPS, which is a 35% drop from the 1080p Low score. Medium settings average 96 FPS, a 35% drop from the 1080p Medium score. High settings average 76.1 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 59 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution is a 51% reduction in frame rate.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the RTX 4060 becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings average 66.3 FPS, which is a 45% drop from 1440p Low. Medium settings average 54 FPS, High settings average 41.9 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 35.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 30.4 FPS, a 46% reduction. The data shows that even at Low settings, 4K is demanding for this GPU, as the frame rate drops below 70 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the primary driver of graphical performance in this configuration. It is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC. The GPU has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz. It features 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key factor in its performance at higher resolutions.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4060 scores 19545 in Passmark G3D and 9213 in Passmark GPU Compute. Its average benchmark score is 23181, placing it in the 66th percentile among all GPUs. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23321, making the RTX 4060 0.6% slower. It is also 0.7% slower than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti, which scores 23338. Conversely, it is 0.7% faster than the Intel Arc B580 and 0.8% faster than the AMD Radeon 760M.

The GPU’s role in Fivem is clearly demonstrated by the resolution scaling data. At 1080p, the GPU is able to render frames at an average of 186.5 FPS on Low settings, which is likely limited by the CPU. However, as the resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU’s workload increases, and the frame rates drop accordingly. The 4K results, which range from 35.9 FPS on Ultra to 66.3 FPS on Low, show that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are insufficient for high-resolution gaming at high settings in this title. The data indicates that the RTX 4060 is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver high frame rates. The lack of measured minimum FPS data means that stutter or frame pacing cannot be assessed, but the average FPS figures provide a clear picture of overall performance.
