Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers a highly capable Fivem experience, with the data indicating that the Medium preset at 1920x1080 offers the most balanced experience. At this setting, the combo produces 160 FPS, which is substantially above the 100.2 FPS at Ultra and 200.3 FPS at Low. The 59.7 FPS gap between Medium and Ultra is significant, while the jump from Medium to Low yields 40.3 FPS, suggesting that Medium provides the best compromise between visual fidelity and raw performance. For users prioritizing frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1920x1080 achieves 200.3 FPS, but the Medium preset represents the sweet spot where the GPU and CPU are both sufficiently engaged without the diminishing returns seen at Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows reveal a clear hierarchy of performance across presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 200.3 FPS, Medium at 160 FPS, High at 125.4 FPS, and Ultra at 100.2 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium costs 40.3 FPS, while Medium to High costs 34.6 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 25.2 FPS. This pattern indicates that each step up in settings has a progressively smaller performance penalty, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. However, the data suggests that Medium is the optimal choice because it maintains a frame rate well above the 144Hz refresh rate common in modern displays while still offering improved visuals over Low. The 160 FPS at Medium is 59.8 FPS higher than Ultra, making it a far more responsive experience without a proportional visual sacrifice.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again stands out with 102.3 FPS, which is comfortably above 60 FPS and close to 100 FPS thresholds. The High preset at 84 FPS is still playable, but the Ultra preset drops to 66.6 FPS, which may introduce noticeable stutter in a multiplayer environment. For 3840x2160, the data shows that all presets struggle to maintain high frame rates, with Medium at 56.4 FPS and High at 45.7 FPS being the only viable options for a playable experience, though neither reaches 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 36.7 FPS is likely too demanding for smooth gameplay.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2497 MHz, with 3840 shading units and 48 ROPs. These specifications directly influence Fivem's performance, as the game's open-world multiplayer nature demands both memory bandwidth for texture streaming and raw compute for rendering many simultaneous entities. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor at higher resolutions; the data shows that at 3840x2160, the average FPS drops sharply regardless of settings, suggesting that the memory capacity and bandwidth become limiting factors. The GPU's FP32 performance of 19.18 TFLOPS provides ample compute headroom, but the 128-bit bus may constrain performance in scenes with heavy texture loads, which is evident in the 36.7 FPS at Ultra 4K.

The RTX 5060's benchmark scores place it in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30109. Its closest rival in the data is the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, which scores 30097, a negligible 0% deltaPct. This indicates that the RTX 5060 is positioned at a competitive performance tier, but its memory configuration is more modest than some alternatives. The GPU's memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) is high, but the 8 GB capacity is the more pressing constraint for Fivem's large multiplayer maps, which can exceed this limit at high resolutions and Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a clear and predictable decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the Medium preset, the average FPS drops from 160 at 1080p to 102.3 at 1440p (a 36.1% decrease) and then to 56.4 at 4K (a 44.9% decrease from 1440p). This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the number of pixels to render quadruples from 1080p to 4K. At the Low preset, the same resolution scaling shows 200.3 FPS at 1080p, 133.6 FPS at 1440p, and 75 FPS at 4K, demonstrating that even at the lowest settings, the GPU's rendering throughput cannot keep pace with the pixel count increase.

The differential between resolutions is more pronounced at lower settings, which suggests that the CPU is better able to feed the GPU at 1080p Low (200.3 FPS) but becomes less of a factor as resolution increases. At Ultra settings, the 4K performance of 36.7 FPS is barely playable, while the 1080p Ultra at 100.2 FPS shows that the GPU is still capable of high frame rates when the resolution is manageable. This scaling behavior implies that users targeting 4K will need to compromise heavily on settings, while 1440p and 1080p provide ample headroom for high refresh rate monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS across settings is as follows: Low at 200.3 FPS, Medium at 160 FPS, High at 125.4 FPS, and Ultra at 100.2 FPS. The data shows a nearly linear progression with diminishing returns at the high end. The 74.9 FPS difference between Low and High is substantial, but the 25.2 FPS difference between High and Ultra is smaller, indicating that the Ultra preset adds significant visual complexity without a proportional performance cost.

At 2560x1440, the FPS values are: Low at 133.6 FPS, Medium at 102.3 FPS, High at 84 FPS, and Ultra at 66.6 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by approximately 33-36% across all settings, which aligns with the increased pixel count. The 1440p Medium at 102.3 FPS is particularly notable as it exceeds the 100 FPS threshold, making it suitable for high refresh rate displays.

At 3840x2160, the FPS drops to: Low at 75 FPS, Medium at 56.4 FPS, High at 45.7 FPS, and Ultra at 36.7 FPS. The 4K Low preset at 75 FPS is the only setting that approaches smooth gameplay, while Medium at 56.4 FPS is borderline. The Ultra preset at 36.7 FPS is well below the 60 FPS target and would likely result in a suboptimal experience in Fivem's fast-paced multiplayer environments.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor 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 dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the RTX 5060 in Fivem. The CPU's benchmark scores show a single-thread performance of 836 in 3dmark and 2319 in Cinebench R23, while multi-thread scores reach 5411 in 3dmark and 16429 in Cinebench R23. These figures indicate that the CPU is capable of handling the game's physics and AI workloads, but the data suggests that at 1080p Low settings (200.3 FPS), the CPU may become a limiting factor in very high frame rate scenarios.

The Ryzen 5 5500's closest rival in the data is the Intel Core i5-12500, which scores 20897, a deltaPct of -0.1% relative to the AMD processor's 20875 average score. This near-parity indicates that the CPU is well-matched to its competition in synthetic benchmarks. In Fivem, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for the game's multi-threaded workload, though the 16 MB L3 cache may be less than ideal for large multiplayer maps with many entities. The CPU's 65 W TDP and PCIe Gen 3 interface are modest, but they do not appear to bottleneck the GPU based on the measured FPS data.
