Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks 341st out of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 9% of all configurations in the database. This is a strong result for a multiplayer title where frame pacing and consistency matter as much as raw peak throughput.

The ranking reflects a pairing that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet the CPU still holds its own in lighter settings. The RTX 4080 SUPER sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5500 lands at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs. That gap matters: the graphics card is the star, but the six-core processor does not become a bottleneck until frame rates climb past 200 FPS.

Relative to its closest rivals, the Ryzen 5 5500 posts an average benchmark score of 19,593. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 sits essentially tied at 19,617 (-0.1% delta), while the Intel Core i5-12500 is 0.4% ahead at 19,668. The Intel Core i7-10700F trails by 0.5% at 19,499, and the Intel Core i5-11600KF leads the group at 19,723 (-0.7% delta from the Ryzen). These are margin-of-error differences, meaning the CPU is not the differentiator in this combo.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 54,209 is matched almost exactly by the RTX 4080 at 54,247 (-0.1%). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X comes in 1.1% higher at 54,828, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB sits 2.7% above at 55,698. The AMD Radeon 8060S is the top rival at 55,757, a 2.8% gap. None of these differences are dramatic in real-world Fivem play, but they indicate the 4080 SUPER is performing right in line with its expected tier.

# FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Fivem?

A: The data shows 1440p High delivers 138 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining visual fidelity. It is the sweet spot for this pairing, as 4K High drops to 76 FPS and 1080p Ultra only reaches 162 FPS, leaving headroom on the table.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5500 compare to its nearest CPU rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 5500's average benchmark score of 19,593 is within 0.7% of all four nearest rivals. The Intel Core i5-11600KF leads at 19,723, but the delta is negligible for gaming. This means users should not expect meaningful FPS differences from CPU swaps in this tier.

Q: Is the RTX 4080 SUPER significantly faster than the RTX 4080?

A: Based on average benchmark scores, the difference is nearly zero. The RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 versus the RTX 4080's 54,247, a delta of -0.1%. In practice, the SUPER variant offers no measurable advantage in this dataset.

Q: Does the combo hit 144 FPS at 4K?

A: No. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 59, and at 4K High it is 76. Only 4K Low breaks past 120 FPS with an average of 121. For 144 FPS gameplay, users must step down to 1440p High at 138 FPS or 1080p High at 209 FPS.

Q: What settings preset gives the highest frame rate at 1080p?

A: Low preset at 1080p yields 270 FPS average, which is the highest measured result across all resolutions and settings. Medium comes in at 248 FPS, High at 209 FPS, and Ultra at 162 FPS.

Q: How much does the CPU limit performance at 1080p Low?

A: The 270 FPS average at 1080p Low approaches the practical limit for the Ryzen 5 5500's six cores and 12 threads. The CPU's single-thread score of 836 in 3DMark and 2,319 in Cinebench R23 suggests it can drive high frame rates, but the 4K Low result of 121 FPS shows the GPU is still the primary limiter at higher resolutions.

# Settings Recommendations

For this specific combo, the measured data points to 1440p High as the best overall experience. The 138 FPS average comfortably exceeds the 120 FPS refresh rate common on modern displays, and the High preset retains visual quality without the steep cost of Ultra. At 4K, High drops to 76 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive multiplayer.

If the user prioritizes maximum frame rate over visuals, 1080p Low delivers 270 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the dataset. However, this comes at the cost of visual fidelity in a game where seeing distant objects can matter. Medium at 1080p provides a compromise at 248 FPS, but the jump from Low to Medium only costs 22 FPS, making Medium a reasonable choice for esports-style play.

At 1440p, the Medium preset offers 172 FPS with a minimum of 146 FPS, which is the only 1440p setting with a recorded minimum. This suggests Medium at 1440p provides both high averages and stable frame pacing. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 107 FPS, which is a significant 35 FPS reduction from High for marginal visual gains.

For users with 4K displays, the choice is starker. Low at 121 FPS is the only 4K setting that clears 100 FPS, while Medium sits at 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS. High and Ultra at 76 and 59 FPS respectively are better suited for slower-paced exploration rather than competitive play.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 4080 SUPER show a clear scaling curve. The Low preset averages 270 FPS, Medium drops to 248 FPS with a minimum of 210 and maximum of 285, High falls to 209 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 162 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 108 FPS, or exactly 40% lower, which indicates the GPU is still doing heavy lifting even at this resolution.

Moving to 1440p, the pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 218 FPS, Medium delivers 172 FPS with a 146 FPS minimum and 198 FPS maximum, High reaches 138 FPS, and Ultra drops to 107 FPS. The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 52 FPS, while the drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 55 FPS, showing consistent scaling across settings.

At 4K, the performance curve steepens significantly. Low averages 121 FPS, Medium drops to 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 and maximum of 110, High falls to 76 FPS, and Ultra averages just 59 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 62 FPS, which is a 51% reduction. This is the largest relative drop across all resolutions, confirming that 4K Ultra stresses the GPU heavily.

The Medium preset is the only one with min/max data at every resolution, which allows for frame pacing analysis. At 1080p Medium, the spread is 75 FPS (210 to 285). At 1440p Medium, the spread narrows to 52 FPS (146 to 198). At 4K Medium, the spread tightens further to 29 FPS (81 to 110). This trend suggests that as the GPU becomes more loaded, frame times become more consistent, which is counterintuitive but typical for GPU-bound scenarios.

# Resolution Scaling

From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings drops by roughly 18-20%. For example, High goes from 209 to 138 FPS (a 34% reduction), while Low goes from 270 to 218 FPS (a 19% reduction). This indicates that the GPU is still the primary limiting factor at 1440p, as the 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are not yet saturated.

The jump from 1440p to 4K is more punishing. High drops from 138 to 76 FPS (a 45% reduction), Medium from 172 to 95 FPS (a 45% reduction), and Low from 218 to 121 FPS (a 44% reduction). Ultra falls from 107 to 59 FPS, a 45% drop. This consistent 45% penalty across all settings points to a purely GPU-bound scenario where the RTX 4080 SUPER's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the ceiling.

The scaling behavior reveals that the CPU is not the bottleneck until frame rates exceed roughly 200 FPS. At 1080p Low, the 270 FPS average suggests the Ryzen 5 5500's six Zen 3 cores are nearing their limit. The CPU's boost clock of 4.20 GHz and 16 MB of L3 cache provide adequate single-thread performance, but the 3DMark single-thread score of 836 indicates there is a hard ceiling around this frame rate.

The 4K Low result of 121 FPS is particularly telling. This setting removes most GPU load, yet the frame rate is still 149 FPS lower than 1080p Low. This proves that even at Low settings, the 4K pixel count (8.3 million pixels versus 2.1 million at 1080p) is enough to saturate the GPU's fill rate. The pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s are the limiting factors here.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 brings six cores and 12 threads from the Zen 3 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with a 65 W TDP. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz are modest by modern standards, and the 16 MB L3 cache is half of what some Ryzen 5000 siblings offer. The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s over dual-channel DDR4 is a potential constraint for a game like Fivem, which is built on the GTA V engine and often stresses memory subsystems in populated servers.

The CPU's benchmark scores paint a picture of a solid mid-range processor. Cinebench R23 multicore hits 16,429, while single-core reaches 2,319. Geekbench multicore scores 7,976 and single-core 1,730. In 3DMark, the max-thread score of 5,411 is only slightly above the 8-thread score of 4,593, showing that the 12 threads provide diminishing returns beyond eight. This is typical for a game that primarily uses 4-8 threads.

In Fivem specifically, the measured results show the CPU is adequate for 60-144 FPS gameplay. At 1440p High, the 138 FPS average is likely CPU-limited at times, as the GPU is capable of more. The 4K Ultra result of 59 FPS, however, is purely GPU-bound, as the CPU has plenty of headroom at that load. The PassMark multithread score of 19,330 and single-thread score of 3,058 confirm the CPU can handle the game's logic and physics threads without becoming a major constraint.

The nearest rival data reinforces that the Ryzen 5 5500 is not a performance outlier. Its average benchmark score of 19,593 is within 0.7% of all four closest competitors, including the Intel Core i5-12500 and Core i7-10700F. This means that in Fivem, the CPU choice matters less than the GPU, and users should focus their upgrade budget on graphics cards rather than processors if they already own a six-core Zen 3 or equivalent part.

The RTX 4080 SUPER, by contrast, is a high-end GPU with 10,240 shading units, 80 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 256-bit bus provide ample bandwidth for 4K textures. The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs is the primary driver of this combo's strong 341st overall rank in Fivem. The CPU's 73rd percentile is secondary, but not limiting enough to drag the combo down significantly.
