Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces a profoundly CPU-bound experience in Fivem, where the graphics card’s immense potential is consistently capped by the processor’s Zen 2 architecture. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the frame rate ceiling is set by the CPU, resulting in a narrow performance envelope that favors high refresh rate 1080p gaming but fails to scale meaningfully at 4K. This combination ranks in the 93rd percentile of all tested combos in Fivem, with a combo rank of 209 out of 3005, indicating that while it outperforms the vast majority of systems, the pairing is heavily imbalanced in favor of the GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic CPU bottleneck that intensifies as resolution increases, but not for the usual reasons. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 233 FPS, which drops to 203 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 147 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 37% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which is a relatively modest decline compared to what a GPU-bound system would show. The RTX 5090 D is capable of far higher frame rates, as evidenced by its average benchmark score of 77712, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. However, the Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, cannot feed the GPU fast enough.

The scaling pattern becomes more telling when examining the High settings row. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 198 FPS, at 1440p High it drops to 167 FPS, and at 4K High it falls to 93 FPS. The 1080p to 1440p drop is only 16%, which is unusually small, indicating that the CPU is already the limiting factor at 1080p. The 1440p to 4K drop is 44%, which is much steeper and suggests that the GPU is finally starting to become more relevant at higher resolutions. The limiting component analysis shows that the CPU is the primary constraint across all settings, but the GPU becomes increasingly engaged as pixel count rises.

The Medium settings data provides the clearest insight into the bottleneck. At 1080p Medium, the combo hits 214 FPS, at 1440p Medium it achieves 186 FPS, and at 4K Medium it drops to 116 FPS. The minimum FPS figures are particularly revealing: at 1080p Medium, the minimum is 182 FPS, which is remarkably high and indicates that the CPU maintains consistent frame pacing. At 1440p Medium, the minimum drops to 158 FPS, and at 4K Medium it falls to 99 FPS. The spread between average and minimum FPS widens as resolution increases, suggesting that the CPU’s frame time consistency degrades under higher GPU load. This is a sign that the Ryzen 5 4600G’s single-thread performance, with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 726, is the decisive factor.

Q: Is the RTX 5090 D being fully utilized in this configuration?

A: No, the data indicates significant underutilization. The RTX 5090 D has a PassMark G3D score of 44065 and an average benchmark score of 77712, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. However, in Fivem, the frame rates are capped by the CPU, which has a PassMark multi-thread score of 15992 and a single-thread score of 2653. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, scores 76904, a delta of 1.1%, but in Fivem, the 4600G prevents the 5090 D from demonstrating its full capability.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Fivem?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 provides the best experience. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 233 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded. At 1080p Medium, it still delivers 214 FPS with a minimum of 182 FPS. The 1440p results are also playable, with 203 FPS at Low settings, but the 4K results show a more pronounced drop, with 147 FPS at Low and 72 FPS at Ultra.

Q: How does the combo rank compared to other tested configurations in Fivem?

A: The combo ranks 209th out of 3005 tested combos, placing it in the top 7% of all configurations. This high ranking is primarily due to the RTX 5090 D’s raw power, but the CPU limits the absolute performance ceiling. The rank indicates that this system outperforms 93% of tested combos, but the imbalance between the CPU and GPU means there is untapped potential.

Q: Does the CPU’s integrated graphics affect performance in Fivem?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G includes Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics, but this is irrelevant when paired with the RTX 5090 D. The discrete GPU handles all rendering, and the integrated graphics do not appear in the measured FPS data. The CPU’s performance is defined by its 6 cores, 12 threads, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache, which are the relevant specifications for gaming performance.

Q: What is the impact of the CPU’s clock speed on Fivem performance?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The boost clock is particularly important for Fivem, as the game appears to be sensitive to single-thread performance. The 3dmark_2_threads score of 1430 and 3dmark_4_threads score of 2732 suggest that the CPU’s ability to boost to 4.20 GHz on a few cores is a key factor in achieving the high frame rates seen at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves a combo rank of 209 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all configurations. This is a strong result, but it is important to contextualize this ranking. The RTX 5090 D is a top-tier GPU, with an average benchmark score of 77712, which alone would place it in the 92nd percentile of GPUs. The CPU, while not a high-end part, still manages to rank in the 71st percentile of all CPUs with an average score of 17507.

The rank of 209 indicates that this combo outperforms 2796 other tested configurations, but it also suggests that there are 208 combos that perform better. These higher-ranked combos likely pair the RTX 5090 D with a more powerful CPU, such as a newer Zen 4 or Intel 13th/14th generation processor. The data reveals that the CPU is the limiting factor, as the frame rates in Fivem are not significantly higher than what a mid-range CPU paired with a mid-range GPU would achieve.

For example, at 1080p Ultra, this combo achieves 180 FPS. A system with a stronger CPU and a weaker GPU might achieve similar or better frame rates, as Fivem appears to be heavily CPU-bound. The 4600G’s PassMark single-thread score of 2653 and 3dmark_single_thread score of 726 are modest, and these scores directly correlate with the frame rates seen in the measured data. The combo’s high rank reflects the RTX 5090 D’s ability to maintain high frame rates even when the CPU is struggling, but it also highlights the inefficiency of pairing a $2,299 GPU with a $154 CPU.

The nearest rival GPUs to the RTX 5090 D, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT with a delta of -1.6%, would likely produce very similar results in Fivem when paired with the same CPU, as the bottleneck is not the GPU. This further emphasizes that the combo rank is more a reflection of the GPU’s ceiling than its actual utilization in this specific game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS is 233, which is the maximum recorded in the entire dataset. Medium settings produce 214 FPS, with a minimum of 182 FPS and a maximum of 246 FPS. High settings drop to 198 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 180 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 53 FPS, which is a 23% reduction, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom to handle increased visual fidelity without a catastrophic frame rate loss.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a clear decline. Low settings deliver 203 FPS, Medium settings produce 186 FPS with a minimum of 158 FPS and a maximum of 214 FPS, High settings achieve 167 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 130 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 73 FPS, a 36% reduction. This is a larger percentage drop than at 1080p, which suggests that the GPU is starting to become more of a factor, but the CPU is still the primary constraint.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls significantly. Low settings deliver 147 FPS, Medium settings produce 116 FPS with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 133 FPS, High settings drop to 93 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 72 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 75 FPS, a 51% reduction. This is the largest percentage drop across all resolutions, indicating that the GPU is now heavily engaged. However, the absolute frame rates are still high enough for a playable experience, even at 4K Ultra with 72 FPS.

The minimum FPS data, available only for Medium settings, shows that the combo maintains reasonable frame pacing. At 1080p, the minimum of 182 FPS is 85% of the average, which is a solid result. At 1440p, the minimum of 158 FPS is 85% of the average, and at 4K, the minimum of 99 FPS is 85% of the average. This consistency suggests that the CPU’s frame time variations are not severe, even as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Renoir, manufactured on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. Its memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is dominant. The game is known for being CPU-intensive, and the data confirms this. The 4600G’s 3dmark_16_threads score of 4863 and 3dmark_max_threads score of 4889 are nearly identical, indicating that the CPU does not scale significantly beyond 8 threads. This is typical for gaming workloads, which often rely on fewer cores. The 3dmark_4_threads score of 2732 is particularly relevant, as it represents the CPU’s performance on four cores, which is often the sweet spot for gaming.

The CPU’s single-thread performance is modest, with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 726 and a PassMark single-thread score of 2653. These scores are lower than many modern CPUs, which is why the combo cannot achieve higher frame rates. The boost clock of 4.20 GHz is respectable, but the Zen 2 architecture is older and less efficient per clock than newer designs. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919 confirms this, as newer CPUs often exceed 2000 points.

The CPU’s 8 MB of L3 cache is also a factor. Fivem, as a multiplayer game, relies on consistent data access, and the smaller cache size can lead to more frequent memory accesses. The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is adequate but not exceptional. The CPU’s overall benchmark performance, with an average score of 17507, places it in the 71st percentile, but this is not enough to fully utilize the RTX 5090 D. The data shows that the CPU is the limiting factor in all tested scenarios, as the frame rates do not increase proportionally with the GPU’s capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which settings preset offers the best experience for this combo. The primary goal is to achieve high frame rates while maintaining visual quality, and the data shows that the CPU bottleneck means that higher settings do not significantly reduce performance at 1080p.

For 1920x1080, the Medium settings preset is the recommended choice. It delivers an average of 214 FPS with a minimum of 182 FPS, which provides a smooth and consistent experience. The High preset only reduces the average to 198 FPS, a 7% drop, while Ultra reduces it to 180 FPS, a 16% drop. Given that the CPU is the limiting factor, the GPU has enough headroom to handle the increased graphical load of Medium settings without a major frame rate penalty. The Medium preset’s minimum FPS of 182 is high enough to prevent noticeable stutters, making it the best balance of performance and visual quality.

For 2560x1440, the Low settings preset is the most practical choice. It delivers 203 FPS, which is the highest frame rate at this resolution. The Medium preset drops to 186 FPS, but the High preset falls to 167 FPS, and Ultra drops to 130 FPS. The 37 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is significant, and the CPU bottleneck means that the GPU’s extra power cannot compensate. The Low preset ensures that the frame rate remains above 200 FPS, which is ideal for high refresh rate monitors.

For 3840x2160, the Low settings preset is the only viable option for high frame rates. It delivers 147 FPS, which is still playable, but the Medium preset drops to 116 FPS, and High falls to 93 FPS. Ultra drops to 72 FPS, which may be acceptable for some users but is not ideal for a smooth experience. The data shows that the GPU is finally becoming the limiting factor at 4K, but the CPU still holds back performance. The Low preset is recommended for 4K to maintain frame rates above 140 FPS, as the visual differences between Low and Medium are less noticeable at this resolution.

Overall, the best experience is at 1080p with Medium settings, which provides the highest frame rates with a reasonable visual quality. For higher resolutions, the Low preset is recommended to maintain playable frame rates. The CPU bottleneck means that users should prioritize high refresh rates over graphical fidelity, as the GPU has more than enough power to handle the game’s demands.
