Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. At 1080p with High settings, the combo delivers 111 FPS, which drops to 73.7 FPS at 1440p and further to 38.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 33.6% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K under the High preset.

The scaling behavior across all settings presets indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p (175.7 FPS) to 1440p (115.3 FPS) shows a 34.4% drop, while the jump to 4K (63.3 FPS) represents a 64% loss from the 1080p baseline. This consistent pattern across presets suggests a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, where the rendering load overwhelms the graphics card's capabilities.

The Medium preset exhibits similar characteristics, with 140 FPS at 1080p, 89.7 FPS at 1440p, and 52.5 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the steepest relative decline, falling from 84.9 FPS at 1080p to 56.8 FPS at 1440p (a 33.1% drop) and then to 32.7 FPS at 4K (a 61.5% drop from 1080p). The fact that 4K Ultra produces sub-33 FPS performance confirms that this combination cannot sustain playable frame rates at the highest resolution with maximum settings.

What the data indicates is that the RTX 2070 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, provides sufficient throughput for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K results show a hard ceiling. The gap between 1440p and 4K performance is proportionally larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p, which is typical of a GPU that reaches its memory bandwidth and fill rate limits at ultra-high resolutions. The 4K Low result of 63.3 FPS versus the 1080p Low result of 175.7 FPS demonstrates that even at minimal graphical load, the resolution increase alone imposes a substantial penalty that cannot be mitigated by lowering settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with the TU104 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It contains 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The card operates at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). These specifications place the GPU in the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 22,206.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA RTX A400 (average score 22,307, a 0.5% difference), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (average score 22,006, a 0.9% difference), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (average score 22,729, a 2.3% difference). The RTX 2070 SUPER sits between these cards in raw compute performance, which explains its mid-pack positioning in the percentile ranking.

In the context of Fivem, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K results suggest that memory allocation becomes constrained at higher resolutions. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (32.7 FPS) versus 4K Low (63.3 FPS) shows a 48.3% performance swing purely from settings changes, which indicates that the GPU is working at its limits when rendering at 3840x2160. The texture fill rate of 283.2 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s are substantial, but they are insufficient to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K with the highest quality presets.

The FP32 compute capability of 9.062 TFLOPS provides a solid foundation for the game's physics and simulation workloads, which are often significant in multiplayer environments. However, the data shows that the GPU's raw compute power does not translate into linear performance gains at 4K, where the memory subsystem becomes the bottleneck. The 256-bit memory bus width and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are respectable, but they lag behind what would be needed for consistent 4K gameplay at high settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It features a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and connects via PCIe Gen 3.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16,429 and a single-core score of 2,319. Its average benchmark score of 20,875 places it in the 79th percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12500 (average score 20,897, a 0.1% difference), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE (average score 20,900, a 0.1% difference), and the AMD EPYC 7J13 (average score 20,845, a 0.1% difference). This tight clustering indicates that the Ryzen 5 5500 is competitively positioned in its performance class.

For Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often relies on single-threaded performance for game logic and network handling, the CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 836 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,058 are relevant. The processor's boost clock of 4.20 GHz provides adequate single-thread responsiveness, but the data suggests that at 1080p with Low settings (175.7 FPS), the CPU is likely approaching its limit in terms of frame generation capability. The 1080p Ultra result of 84.9 FPS shows that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher quality settings, but the Low preset result indicates that the CPU can sustain high frame rates when the GPU load is minimal.

The 12 threads available on the Ryzen 5 5500 help with background tasks and multi-threaded game components, as evidenced by the 3DMark 16-thread score of 5,386 and max-thread score of 5,411. The PassMark multithread score of 19,330 and physics score of 896 demonstrate solid multi-threaded throughput, which is beneficial for handling the various simulation systems present in Fivem's multiplayer environment.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset for this combination depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1080p, all presets deliver playable frame rates, with Low achieving 175.7 FPS, Medium reaching 140 FPS, High hitting 111 FPS, and Ultra still maintaining a respectable 84.9 FPS. The data indicates that 1080p Ultra provides the best visual experience while remaining above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for users with 1080p displays.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 73.7 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 89.7 FPS offers a higher frame rate with only a modest visual quality reduction, while Ultra drops to 56.8 FPS, which may be borderline for some users. The Low preset at 115.3 FPS provides the highest performance but sacrifices significant visual fidelity. For 1440p, the High preset represents the best balance of image quality and performance, with Medium as a viable alternative for those prioritizing frame rate.

At 4K, the data shows that only the Low preset (63.3 FPS) achieves frame rates above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 52.5 FPS is playable but noticeably less smooth, while High (38.9 FPS) and Ultra (32.7 FPS) fall below acceptable thresholds for most gamers. The recommendation for 4K is to use the Low preset for a playable experience, or to consider reducing the resolution to 1440p for higher quality settings. The substantial performance gap between Low and Medium at 4K (a 20.6% difference) suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth is the limiting factor when quality settings increase.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1,077 out of 1,792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the 60th percentile of all tested configurations. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where neither component is severely mismatched for the other in the context of this game.

The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicate that the processor is slightly stronger relative to its peers than the graphics card. This suggests that in Fivem, the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor, which aligns with the resolution scaling data showing significant FPS drops at 4K.

The mid-pack ranking of 1,077 out of 1,792 means that a substantial number of configurations outperform this combo in Fivem, primarily those with more powerful GPUs or newer CPU architectures. However, the combo still outperforms a significant portion of the tested field, and the measured FPS data confirms that it can deliver smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p with appropriate settings. The ranking reflects the GPU's end-of-life status, as indicated in the production status field, which means newer GPUs in the database benefit from architectural improvements and higher memory bandwidth.
