Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a broad spectrum of frame rates in Fivem, ranging from a highly playable 56.3 FPS at 4K Ultra to a blistering 266.4 FPS at 1080p Low. The data shows a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings, but the relationship between the CPU and GPU shifts dramatically depending on the workload. This analysis walks through the measured FPS rows to understand where the bottleneck lies and what the user can expect from this combination.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, indicating that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 191.7 at 1920x1080 to 124.7 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 67.0 FPS. Moving further to 3840x2160, the score drops to 72.8 FPS, representing a total decline of 118.9 FPS from 1080p. This pattern of diminishing returns is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, where the pixel count increase directly taxes the graphics card's shading units and memory bandwidth.

The Low preset shows an even more dramatic scaling curve, starting at 266.4 FPS at 1080p and falling to 199.3 FPS at 1440p, then to 109.7 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is approximately 58.8%, which is slightly steeper than the High preset's 62.0% retention. This suggests that at Low settings, the GPU is still doing significant work, but the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are more capable of keeping up with the lower graphical load, allowing the GPU's raw power to shine. The 4K Ultra result of 56.3 FPS is the only measurement that dips below the 60 FPS threshold, highlighting that this combo is not suited for maximum graphical fidelity at the highest resolution.

Interestingly, the Medium preset at 4K (85.6 FPS) is nearly identical in scaling behavior to High, with both showing roughly a 44% performance drop from 1440p. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for these workloads, but the 192-bit bus width and 80 ROPs create a ceiling that the CPU cannot overcome at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are so high that the Ryzen 5 5500's single-thread performance, reflected in its 3dmark_single_thread score of 836, becomes a more relevant factor, though the data does not show a hard plateau.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500's role in Fivem is best understood through its core and clock characteristics. With 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, the CPU provides a solid foundation for the game's multiplayer workload. The benchmark results show a passmark_single_thread score of 3058 and a 3dmark_2_threads score of 1645, which are moderate figures that suggest the CPU can handle the game's primary thread reasonably well, but it is not a top-tier performer in this regard. The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 79 indicates it sits above most processors, but its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12500, which has a nearly identical average score (20897 vs 20875, a delta of -0.1%).

In Fivem, which is known for being sensitive to CPU performance in populated areas, the Ryzen 5 5500's 16 MB of L3 cache and Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne) are adequate, but not exceptional. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 266.4 FPS, which is 44% higher than the 1080p High result of 191.7 FPS. This gap is larger than the difference between Medium and High at the same resolution (242.6 vs 191.7), suggesting that the CPU is not the bottleneck at Low settings; otherwise, the frame rate would cap out similarly regardless of GPU load. Instead, the GPU's ability to render simpler shaders and fewer effects allows the CPU to feed frames faster, but the single-threaded nature of the game engine likely limits the absolute ceiling.

The cinebench_r23_multicore score of 16429 and singlecore score of 2319 provide context for the CPU's overall capability. The multicore score is respectable for a 6-core part, but the singlecore score is modest compared to higher-tier rivals, which matters for Fivem's typical behavior. The data does not show a scenario where the CPU forces a hard cap on FPS, as the 1080p Low result is significantly higher than the 1440p Low result, indicating that the GPU is still the limiting factor even at lower resolutions. However, the delta between 1080p Medium (242.6) and 1080p High (191.7) is 50.9 FPS, which is a larger jump than the delta between 1440p Medium (156.2) and 1440p High (124.7) at 31.5 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU's ability to handle the game's logic is more exposed, as the GPU has spare capacity to render the increased settings without a proportional FPS hit.

The GPU's percentileVsAllGpus of 85 and average benchmark score of 44900 are strong indicators of its performance class, while the CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 79 and average score of 20875 are respectable but not elite.

In practical terms, this rank means that a large majority of tested combos (1513 of them) will deliver lower average FPS in Fivem, but there are 278 combos that perform better. The data shows that the CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-12500 and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE, have nearly identical average scores, suggesting that swapping the CPU for one of these would not meaningfully change the combo's rank. Conversely, the GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, which scores 45152 (0.6% higher), and the Intel Arc A730M, which scores 45592 (1.5% higher), indicating that the GPU is well-positioned within its own tier. The rank of 279 suggests that this system is well-balanced for Fivem, with neither component drastically holding back the other, though the 1080p results hint that a stronger CPU could push higher frame rates in low-settings scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset leads with an average of 266.4 FPS, followed by Medium at 242.6 FPS, High at 191.7 FPS, and Ultra at 150.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 116.1 FPS, which is the largest of any resolution, demonstrating that the GPU has significant headroom at this pixel count and the settings have a pronounced impact on performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show a clear step down. Low averages 199.3 FPS, Medium 156.2 FPS, High 124.7 FPS, and Ultra 95.5 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is 67.1 FPS, which is a 25.2% reduction, while the drop at Ultra settings is 54.8 FPS, a 36.5% reduction. This indicates that higher settings are more sensitive to resolution increases, likely due to the increased pixel shading requirements.

At 3840x2160, the configuration begins to struggle at the highest settings. Low still manages 109.7 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 85.6 FPS, High to 72.8 FPS, and Ultra to 56.3 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: Low loses 89.6 FPS (45.0%), Medium loses 70.6 FPS (45.2%), High loses 51.9 FPS (41.6%), and Ultra loses 39.2 FPS (41.0%). The 4K Ultra result is the only measurement below 60 FPS, making it the least viable option for smooth gameplay. Overall, the data shows that this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K requires settings compromises to maintain high frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p is the clear choice, delivering 266.4 FPS, which is well above any high-refresh-rate monitor's needs. However, the Medium preset at 1080p offers a more balanced experience at 242.6 FPS, providing better visual quality with only a 23.8 FPS penalty compared to Low. The High preset at 1080p (191.7 FPS) is also excellent and is recommended for users with 144Hz displays, as it maintains a comfortable margin above the refresh rate while offering improved visuals over Medium.

At 1440p, the Medium preset (156.2 FPS) is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate gaming, as it stays above 144 FPS, while High (124.7 FPS) is suitable for 120Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 1440p (95.5 FPS) is still very playable and is the best option for users who prioritize image quality over raw speed, as it remains above 90 FPS. For 4K gaming, the High preset (72.8 FPS) is the best recommendation, as it balances visual fidelity with a playable frame rate, while Medium (85.6 FPS) is better for those who want a higher margin above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K (56.3 FPS) should be avoided unless the user is willing to tolerate occasional dips below 60 FPS, as the measured average is already below that threshold.

In summary, the data indicates that this combo is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p with Medium to High settings, where it provides excellent performance. For 4K, users should stick to Medium or High settings to ensure smooth gameplay, as the Ultra preset's frame rate is not consistently high enough for a competitive or immersive experience.
