Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT places at rank 604 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem. That places this combo in the top third of all tested pairings, a strong result for a multiplayer title where frame consistency matters as much as raw peak output. The ranking reflects a system that is clearly capable of high-refresh 1080p play and respectable 1440p performance, while 4K remains a stretch at higher quality settings. The data shows a combo that is well-balanced for its intended use case, though the CPU side of the equation becomes a more meaningful factor at lower resolutions where the GPU has headroom to spare.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is the dominant component here, and its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth provides ample headroom for Fivem’s large multiplayer environments. The GPU’s boost clock of 2250 MHz and game clock of 2015 MHz are high for the RDNA 2.0 architecture, and the 4608 shading units give it substantial compute throughput. The card’s 128 ROPS and 288 TMUs handle the draw calls and texture work that Fivem’s user-generated content demands. The GPU sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 49982 places it just 0.5% ahead of the Intel Arc A550M and 1.9% ahead of the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, while trailing the NVIDIA RTX A1000 by 1.7%. In practice, the 16 GB frame buffer means memory capacity is never the limiting factor, even at 3840x2160 where the card still delivers playable results at lower presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the balance shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo hits 240.5 FPS, but that drops to 88 FPS at 3840x2160 with Low settings — a 63.4% reduction. The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets. At High settings, the drop from 1080p to 4K is from 153.5 FPS down to 57.7 FPS, a 62.4% decrease. This steep decline indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the RX 6800 XT must render roughly four times the pixel count. At 1080p, the numbers suggest the CPU is starting to limit performance, particularly at Low settings where the frame rate reaches 240.5 FPS — a figure that approaches the practical ceiling for the Ryzen 5 5500’s single-thread performance in game logic. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is 119.6 FPS, while at 4K that same gap narrows to 42.5 FPS, confirming that resolution scaling increasingly taxes the GPU rather than the processor.

Settings Recommendations

For the best measured experience, Medium settings at 2560x1440 deliver 122.8 FPS, which is the sweet spot for smooth multiplayer gameplay without sacrificing too much visual fidelity. At 1080p, Medium hits 192.2 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors, while High still manages a strong 153.5 FPS. The data suggests that Ultra settings are not worth the frame cost: at 1440p, Ultra drops to 79.9 FPS, a 34.9% reduction from Medium, and at 4K, Ultra falls to 45.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most players target. Low settings at 1440p reach 161 FPS, but the visual compromise is substantial; Medium provides a better balance. For 4K, High is the only viable preset at 57.7 FPS, though players seeking higher frame rates would need to drop to Low at 88 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured results are: Low averages 88 FPS, Medium averages 70.7 FPS, High averages 57.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 45.5 FPS. The progression shows a 42.5 FPS difference between the lowest and highest presets, with each step up in quality costing roughly 14-16 FPS. At 2560x1440, the numbers scale upward considerably: Low delivers 161 FPS, Medium 122.8 FPS, High 101.4 FPS, and Ultra 79.9 FPS. The delta from Low to Ultra is 81.1 FPS, a much larger spread that indicates the GPU has more headroom at this resolution. At 1920x1080, the combo pushes well into high-refresh territory: Low reaches 240.5 FPS, Medium 192.2 FPS, High 153.5 FPS, and Ultra 120.9 FPS. The 1080p results show a 119.6 FPS spread between Low and Ultra, the largest of any resolution, which points to the CPU becoming a more significant factor as the GPU load lightens.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 brings 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 Cezanne architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s of dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth are modest by modern standards, but sufficient for Fivem’s workload. The CPU sits in the 79th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 20875 that lands within 0.2% of the Intel Core i5-12600T and 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE. In Fivem, the CPU’s role becomes apparent at 1080p Low settings, where the 240.5 FPS result is likely near the ceiling of what the processor can feed to the GPU. The single-thread score of 836 in 3DMark and 2319 in Cinebench R23 single-core indicate that the CPU can handle the game’s main thread, but the 16 MB L3 cache is small for a multiplayer title with many entities. The data shows that at 1440p and 4K, the CPU is less of a factor, as the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck.
