Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 presents a stark contrast in component tiers within the multiplayer environment of Fivem. This configuration combines a 2020 entry-level desktop processor with a flagship 2025 graphics card, and the measured frame rates reveal a system heavily constrained by the CPU at lower resolutions while the GPU begins to assert its dominance at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression across resolutions clearly identifies where the bottleneck lies in this pairing. At 1080p with High settings, the system produces an average of 194.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the average only drops to 157.7 FPS, a reduction of roughly 19%. However, the jump to 4K yields a more dramatic decline to 87.2 FPS, which is 45% lower than the 1440p result.

This scaling pattern is indicative of a CPU-limited scenario at 1080p and 1440p. The relatively small performance penalty between those two resolutions suggests the Ryzen 5 4600G is already near its ceiling, unable to feed the RTX 5090 enough data to push frame rates significantly higher. The 4K result shows the GPU finally becoming the limiting factor, as the massive increase in pixel workload overwhelms the graphics card's capacity, even with its substantial 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth.

The trend continues across other settings. At Low settings, the system averages 231.5 FPS at 1080p but only 200.8 FPS at 1440p and 138.1 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is 13%, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is 31%. This widening delta at higher resolutions confirms that the graphics card's workload scales more aggressively with pixel count, while the CPU's performance ceiling remains constant regardless of resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 5090 sits at rank 127 out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the top 7% of all configurations tested, which is notable given the significant generational gap between the two components.

The ranking reflects the strength of the GPU, which sits at the 94th percentile of all GPUs in the database. However, the CPU is at the 75th percentile of all CPUs, suggesting that the processor is the weaker link in this pairing. The combo's position at 127th indicates that while the RTX 5090 provides a substantial performance foundation, the Ryzen 5 4600G prevents this system from reaching the upper echelons of the rankings where newer, higher-clocked CPUs would typically reside.

The discrepancy between the GPU's high percentile and the combo's overall rank quantifies the extent of the CPU limitation. A more balanced pairing would likely place this GPU much higher in the rankings, but the 4600G's 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock creates a bottleneck that the benchmark data clearly exposes.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process. With a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, it offers a modest 8 MB of shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1919 in single-core tests, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 6093.

These numbers place the 4600G at the 75th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rivals including the Intel Core i3-14100T and Intel Core i3-13100F. The deltaPct values show the 4600G is essentially on par with these competitors, trailing the Core i3-13100F by 1% and the Core i3-14100T by 0.8% in average benchmark scores.

The CPU's single-thread performance, measured at 726 in 3DMark single-thread and 2653 in Passmark single-thread, is critical for Fivem's multiplayer environment. The data indicates that at 1080p, the processor's throughput becomes the limiting factor, capping performance well below what the GPU could theoretically deliver. The 200.8 FPS average at 1440p Low settings versus 231.5 FPS at 1080p Low shows only a 13% improvement when reducing resolution, suggesting the CPU is near its maximum frame output capability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. The average FPS ranges from 179.8 at Ultra settings to 231.5 at Low settings. The progression shows 194.5 FPS at High and 216.2 FPS at Medium. The relatively small gap between Low and Ultra settings, approximately 22%, indicates that the CPU is the primary constraint at this resolution, as the GPU has ample headroom to handle the varying graphical loads.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages shift downward but remain substantial. Low settings produce 200.8 FPS, Medium produces 184 FPS, High produces 157.7 FPS, and Ultra produces 124.9 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 38%, which is wider than at 1080p. This suggests the GPU is beginning to take on more responsibility for frame production, though the CPU still exerts influence.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The averages drop to 138.1 FPS at Low, 109.3 FPS at Medium, 87.2 FPS at High, and 67.2 FPS at Ultra. The 51% reduction from Low to Ultra at 4K highlights the GPU's workload scaling with settings, whereas the CPU's contribution remains constant. The 4K Ultra result of 67.2 FPS is still playable, but it represents a 71% decrease from the 1080p Low result of 231.5 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a flagship graphics card based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process. It features 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units, with 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores. The card operates at a base clock of 2017 MHz and boosts to 2407 MHz, paired with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus.

The GPU's synthetic performance is exceptional, scoring 14411 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and 39650 in Passmark G3D. It sits at the 94th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rival being the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D at a 0.1% deltaPct. The card's thermal design power is 575 W, requiring a 950 W suggested power supply and a single 16-pin power connector.

The measured frame rates demonstrate that the RTX 5090's capabilities are only partially utilized in this configuration. At 4K Ultra, the 67.2 FPS average is respectable but falls short of what the GPU could deliver with a more capable processor. The card's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth provide immense headroom that the Ryzen 5 4600G cannot fully exploit. The benchmark data suggests that the GPU's role becomes increasingly significant as resolution and settings increase, but the CPU's limitations prevent the system from achieving the frame rates that the RTX 5090's specifications would otherwise indicate.
