Fivem

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti produces a very constrained experience in Fivem, with the measured frames indicating that playable performance is limited to the lowest settings at 1080p. The data positions this pairing near the very bottom of the database, ranking 1784 out of 1792 tested combos, which suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck across most configurations.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data clearly indicates that the Low preset is the only viable option for a smooth experience, and even then, it is only at 1920x1080. At this resolution, the Low preset delivers an average of 58.6 FPS, which is the only measured result that approaches typical 60 Hz display refresh rates. The Medium preset at 1080p drops to 47 FPS, a 19.8% reduction from Low, which may be noticeable in a fast-paced multiplayer environment. High and Ultra at 1080p produce 36.6 and 31.9 FPS respectively, both of which fall below the threshold for comfortable play.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset yields 38.3 FPS, which is playable but not ideal, while Medium drops to 34.5 FPS. The High and Ultra presets at 1440p are largely impractical, with 23.4 and 19.6 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, all settings produce results below 23 FPS, making 4K unusable for this game. The data suggests that users should prioritize the Low preset at 1080p as the primary recommendation, with the Medium preset at the same resolution being a secondary option for those who accept a lower frame rate for better visuals.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the limiting factor in this pairing, evidenced by the dramatic FPS differences between resolution and settings. The GPU features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 112.1 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 1291 MHz with a boost of 1392 MHz, and the card has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The measured data shows that moving from Low to Medium settings at 1080p costs 11.6 FPS (58.6 to 47), while moving from Medium to High costs another 10.4 FPS (47 to 36.6). This pattern indicates that the GPU's compute resources, rather than its memory capacity, are being saturated as visual complexity increases.

The GPU's benchmark percentile of 30 versus all GPUs places it in the lower third, with an average benchmark score of 5316. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce 930A (score 5317, delta 0%), the NVIDIA GeForce 940M (score 5297, delta 0.4%), and the AMD Radeon R7 240 (score 5280, delta 0.7%). The GTX 1050 Ti's 4 GB VRAM is sufficient for Fivem at 1080p Low, but the card's raw throughput becomes the bottleneck at higher settings. The 2.138 TFLOPS of FP32 performance appears inadequate for this game's demands beyond the simplest preset.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for this hardware?

A: The measured data shows that 1920x1080 with the Low preset is the only configuration that achieves an average above 58 FPS, specifically 58.6 FPS. All other resolution and settings combinations fall below 47 FPS.

Q: How does the GTX 1050 Ti compare to its closest rivals in the benchmark database?

A: The GTX 1050 Ti has an average benchmark score of 5316, sitting just below the NVIDIA GeForce 930A at 5317 (0% delta) and above the AMD Radeon R7 240 at 5280 (0.7% delta). Its performance is essentially tied with these lower-tier parts.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5500 CPU holding back the GTX 1050 Ti in Fivem?

A: The CPU's benchmark data shows it performs at the 79th percentile versus all CPUs with an average score of 20875, which is far above the GPU's 30th percentile. This indicates the CPU is not the primary constraint; the GPU is.

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest measured average is 22.5 FPS on Low settings, with High, Medium, and Ultra producing 12, 20.2, and 12.8 FPS respectively. These are all below playable thresholds.

Q: What is the FPS difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The Low preset averages 58.6 FPS, while Ultra averages 31.9 FPS. This represents a 26.7 FPS difference, meaning Ultra is roughly 45.6% slower than Low at the same resolution.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5500's multi-threaded performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 5500 achieves an average benchmark score of 20875, which is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-12500 at 20897 (-0.1% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE at 20900 (-0.1% delta). The differences are negligible.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti ranks 1784 out of 1792 total tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 0.4% of all systems in the database. This extremely low ranking is almost entirely attributable to the GPU, as the CPU alone would rank much higher based on its 79th percentile performance. The measured FPS data confirms this analysis: even at the lowest settings and resolution, the system only achieves 58.6 FPS, which is far below what the CPU could theoretically support.

The ranking suggests that this pairing is severely mismatched for Fivem. The GPU's 30th percentile standing means it competes with integrated and entry-level mobile graphics solutions, while the CPU's 79th percentile places it in the upper tier of desktop processors. In practical terms, the system is GPU-bound in virtually every scenario, with the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads remaining underutilized. Users would see significant improvements by upgrading the GPU to a more capable model, as the CPU has substantial headroom to support higher frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance penalty as resolution increases, which is characteristic of a GPU-limited system. At the Low preset, average FPS drops from 58.6 at 1080p to 38.3 at 1440p, a reduction of 34.6%. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Low further reduces performance to 22.5 FPS, another 41.3% drop. The scaling pattern for other presets is similar: High settings drop from 36.6 FPS at 1080p to 23.4 FPS at 1440p (36.1% reduction), then to 12 FPS at 4K (48.7% reduction).

This steep decline with resolution strongly indicates that the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The GTX 1050 Ti's 112.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 44.54 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient for higher resolutions in this game. The CPU's role in resolution scaling is minimal, as its performance is consistent regardless of pixel count. The data suggests that the system's performance ceiling is fundamentally tied to the GPU's ability to process frames, which diminishes rapidly as the pixel workload increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 58.6 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all configurations. Medium follows at 47 FPS, High at 36.6 FPS, and Ultra at 31.9 FPS. The differences are substantial: Low to Medium represents an 11.6 FPS gap, Medium to High a 10.4 FPS gap, and High to Ultra a 4.7 FPS gap. This pattern shows diminishing returns as settings increase, with the largest performance cost occurring between Low and Medium.

At 2560x1440, Low produces 38.3 FPS, Medium 34.5 FPS, High 23.4 FPS, and Ultra 19.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium narrows to 3.8 FPS, but the drop from Medium to High is 11.1 FPS. This suggests that the High preset introduces graphical effects that are disproportionately expensive on this GPU. At 3840x2160, all settings are significantly below playable levels: Low at 22.5 FPS, Medium at 20.2 FPS, High at 12 FPS, and Ultra at 12.8 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is negligible at 0.8 FPS, indicating the GPU is completely saturated.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 plays a secondary role in this system's Fivem performance, as the measured FPS data shows the GPU is the dominant constraint. The CPU features 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 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 dual-channel memory bandwidth provide ample resources for gaming workloads. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a single-thread score of 836 in 3DMark and a multi-thread score of 5411, with Cinebench R23 results of 2319 single-core and 16429 multi-core.

These scores position the Ryzen 5 5500 well above the GPU in relative performance, with the CPU ranking at the 79th percentile versus all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, has an average score of 20897 versus the Ryzen's 20875, a delta of only -0.1%. The CPU's performance is effectively identical to its closest competitors, meaning it is not the source of the system's low ranking. In Fivem, the CPU's 12 threads are likely sufficient for the multiplayer workloads, but the GPU's inability to render frames quickly means the CPU spends much of its time idle, waiting for the GPU to complete its work.
