Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 + AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT combination lands at rank 1283 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle tier of the database, meaning there is substantial headroom above it, but it also outperforms roughly 28% of all tested configurations. The ranking reflects a pairing where neither component is a top-tier performer, yet they work together to deliver playable frame rates at most settings. The CPU holds a 79th percentile ranking among all processors, while the GPU sits at the 71st percentile among all graphics cards. These percentile positions indicate that the combo is balanced, with both parts contributing similarly to the overall result rather than one component dramatically outpacing the other. The data shows that this pairing is not designed for maximum competitive advantage in Fivem, but it is far from the bottom of the stack, offering a consistent baseline experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 1968 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz and a boost clock reaching 2589 MHz. These clocks are high for the RDNA 2.0 architecture, and the 2048 shading units process geometry and pixel data at a rate of 165.7 GPixel/s. The GPU's texture rate of 331.4 GTexel/s feeds the 128 TMUs, which is adequate for Fivem's world-detail demands. In benchmark terms, the GPU scores 16461 in Passmark G3D and 27985 in the average benchmark score, placing it at the 71st percentile. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, scores 27956, which is only 0.1% lower, indicating the RX 6600 XT is statistically tied with that older flagship. The data suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K resolution, where even Low settings produce only 55.7 FPS, while at 1080p Low the frame rate jumps to 158.8 FPS. This wide spread shows the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading power are sufficient for lower resolutions but begin to struggle as pixel count increases.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: dropping from 1080p to 4K cuts performance by more than half at every setting. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 101.5 at 1920x1080 to 65.9 at 2560x1440, and then to 36.3 at 3840x2160. This represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. The Low preset shows a similar trend, with 158.8 FPS at 1080p, 104.7 FPS at 1440p, and 55.7 FPS at 4K. The scaling is not linear, suggesting that the GPU's memory bus width and bandwidth become increasingly strained as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU's role becomes more pronounced, but at 4K the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where it can maintain smooth frame rates, while 4K should be reserved for Low or Medium settings at best.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. It operates at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts to 4.20 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The CPU has 16 MB of L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, which helps with game logic and physics calculations. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 16429 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2319 in single-core, placing it at the 79th percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 20875 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-12500, which scores 20897, a delta of only -0.1%. This means the Ryzen 5 5500 offers comparable CPU performance to that Intel rival. In Fivem, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p Low, where the frame rate reaches 158.8 FPS, indicating the processor can keep up with the GPU's output. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 28.5 FPS, showing that the GPU is overwhelmed regardless of CPU capability. The data suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this pairing, as even the highest frame rates are GPU-limited at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal experience depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers 127 FPS, which is a significant jump from High's 101.5 FPS, and it remains well above the 60 FPS threshold. For smoother gameplay, Low at 158.8 FPS is the best choice, but Medium offers a better visual quality-to-performance balance. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset produces 80.9 FPS, which is playable, while High drops to 65.9 FPS, still acceptable but closer to the edge. The Low preset at 1440p provides 104.7 FPS, making it the recommended setting for competitive play. At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only viable option, with 55.7 FPS, while Medium drops to 48.9 FPS and High falls to 36.3 FPS. Ultra is not recommended at any resolution above 1080p, as it produces 78.7 FPS at 1080p, but only 48.4 FPS at 1440p and 28.5 FPS at 4K. The data shows that Medium at 1080p or Low at 1440p are the sweet spots for this combo, offering a good mix of visuals and responsiveness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best performance across all settings. Low averages 158.8 FPS, Medium averages 127 FPS, High averages 101.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 78.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 80.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom at this resolution to handle higher presets without major frame rate penalties. At 2560x1440, the averages are 104.7 FPS for Low, 80.9 FPS for Medium, 65.9 FPS for High, and 48.4 FPS for Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings, with Low losing 54.1 FPS, Medium losing 46.1 FPS, High losing 35.6 FPS, and Ultra losing 30.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, the averages are 55.7 FPS for Low, 48.9 FPS for Medium, 36.3 FPS for High, and 28.5 FPS for Ultra. The 4K results show a severe performance penalty, with even Low settings failing to reach 60 FPS. The data indicates that this combo is best utilized at 1080p, where it can maintain high frame rates across all presets, and at 1440p with Medium or Low settings for a balanced experience. At 4K, only the Low preset approaches playability, and even then, it is borderline.
