Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers playable frame rates in Fivem, but the data shows a clear performance ceiling at higher resolutions. The benchmark results indicate that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it comfortably exceeds 60 FPS on most presets, while 4K remains a struggle.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance drop as resolution increases, which is typical for a system where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 162 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 102.1 FPS, a reduction of approximately 37%. At 4K Low, the average falls to 59.6 FPS, which is another 42% decrease from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU that is being pushed harder as pixel count rises.

The gap between settings widens significantly at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 84.3 FPS (162 vs 77.7). At 1440p, that spread narrows to 53.2 FPS (102.1 vs 48.9). By 4K, the difference shrinks to 31.6 FPS (59.6 vs 28). This convergence suggests that at 4K, the GPU is so heavily loaded that even dropping to Low settings cannot fully compensate for the pixel throughput demand. The data points to the RTX 2060 SUPER being the limiting component at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU has more headroom to push higher frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1267 out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle tier of all tested systems. The percentile ranking for the CPU alone is 79, meaning it outperforms 79% of all CPUs in the database. The GPU’s percentile is 63, indicating it sits above 63% of all GPUs tested.

The combo rank being substantially lower than either component’s individual percentile suggests that Fivem’s performance profile does not scale perfectly with the strengths of this hardware. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12500 with a deltaPct of -0.1, meaning the Ryzen 5 5500 is essentially tied with it. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE also shows a -0.1 deltaPct, while the AMD EPYC 7J13 and Intel Core i5-12600T are 0.1 and -0.2 percent away respectively. These tight margins indicate the CPU is well-matched against similar mid-range offerings.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier NVIDIA cards. The GeForce GTX TITAN has a deltaPct of 0.3, meaning the RTX 2060 SUPER is 0.3% faster. The RTX 2070 shows a 0.5 deltaPct, putting the 2060 SUPER slightly ahead despite being a lower-tier card in the same generation. The Quadro K5200 and Tesla K40m trail by 0.8 and 1.3 percent respectively. This positioning confirms the 2060 SUPER is a solid mid-range performer, but not exceptional.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It is built on the Zen 3 architecture using a 7 nm process from TSMC. The CPU’s benchmark results show strong multi-threaded capability, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429 and a single-core score of 2319. The PassMark multi-thread score of 19330 and single-thread score of 3058 further demonstrate its balanced performance.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V, the CPU’s role is significant for handling game logic, physics, and network synchronization. The 3DMark scores provide insight into thread scaling: the 2-thread score is 1645, the 4-thread score is 3151, the 8-thread score is 4593, and the max-thread score is 5411. This shows reasonably good scaling up to 8 threads, with diminishing returns beyond that. For a game like Fivem that may not fully utilize all 12 threads, the strong single-thread and 4-thread performance is more relevant.

The measured FPS at 1080p Low (162 FPS) suggests the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. However, the ranking of 1267 out of 1792 combos implies that other CPU configurations may offer better frame pacing or higher minimums in this specific game. The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s are adequate for this workload, but they do not push it into top-tier territory.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce an average of 162 FPS, Medium drops to 123.2 FPS, High manages 101.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 77.7 FPS. All of these are comfortably playable, with even Ultra exceeding the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains solid but the strain becomes visible. Low settings yield 102.1 FPS, which is still excellent. Medium produces 84.2 FPS, and High manages 66.1 FPS. Ultra is the first setting to fall below 60 FPS, averaging 48.9 FPS. This suggests that for 1440p gaming, High settings represent the upper limit for a consistently smooth experience.

The 3840x2160 results show a significant drop-off. Low settings average 59.6 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS target. Medium drops to 44.7 FPS, High falls to 38.5 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 28 FPS. These numbers indicate that 4K is only viable on Low settings, and even then, the margin above 60 FPS is non-existent. The data clearly shows that this combo is not designed for 4K gaming in Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is based on the TU106 chip with the Turing architecture, manufactured on a 12 nm process by TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its base clock is 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective).

The GPU’s benchmark results show a PassMark G3D score of 16462, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its closest rival is the GeForce GTX TITAN with a deltaPct of 0.3, meaning the 2060 SUPER is marginally faster. The RTX 2070, which is a higher-tier card, is 0.5% slower in this benchmark data, which is an unexpected but notable result. The GPU’s compute score of 6721 and DirectX 12 score of 61 indicate moderate performance for modern APIs.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes dominant at higher resolutions. The 4K results show that even Low settings only manage 59.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. This is likely due to the 8 GB VRAM being sufficient, but the raw compute power of 7.181 TFLOPS being insufficient for 4K pixel throughput. The memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s helps at lower resolutions, but the pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s are not enough to maintain high frame rates at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p, all settings are playable, but Ultra at 77.7 FPS provides the best visual quality while still staying above 60 FPS. Players seeking maximum smoothness can drop to High for 101.9 FPS, which is a 31% improvement over Ultra.

For 1440p, High settings at 66.1 FPS offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. Medium at 84.2 FPS is a viable alternative for those prioritizing frame rate, but the jump from Medium to High is only 18 FPS, so High is recommended. Ultra at 48.9 FPS is not recommended as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

For 4K, the only viable option is Low settings at 59.6 FPS. This is technically playable but leaves no headroom for frame drops. Medium at 44.7 FPS and High at 38.5 FPS are not recommended for smooth gameplay. Ultra at 28 FPS is effectively unplayable. Players with 4K displays should consider lowering resolution or upgrading the GPU.
