Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a fascinating performance profile in Fivem, one that shifts its bottleneck characteristics dramatically depending on the resolution and settings selected. The measured data reveals a system capable of high refresh rates at 1080p but one that struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at 4K Ultra, painting a clear picture of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions and a more balanced, CPU-influenced situation at lower ones.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate deltas across resolutions tell a compelling story about where the performance ceiling lies. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 200 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 132 FPS, a 34% reduction. Pushing further to 4K Low yields 73 FPS, which is a 63.5% drop from the 1440p figure and a 63.5% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This scaling pattern is steep and consistent, strongly indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as pixel count increases.

When we examine the High settings preset, the trend continues but with a different slope. The 1080p High average is 126 FPS. At 1440p High, it falls to 83 FPS, a 34.1% decrease. At 4K High, the average plummets to 46 FPS, which is a 44.6% drop from 1440p and a 63.5% decline from 1080p. The scaling between 1080p and 1440p is nearly identical for Low and High, but the 1440p to 4K transition is slightly more punishing at High settings, suggesting the increased shading and texture work amplifies the GPU load.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic degradation. Fivem at 1080p Ultra averages 98 FPS, which is still playable. However, 1440p Ultra drops to 65 FPS, a 33.7% reduction. The 4K Ultra result is a mere 36 FPS, representing a 44.6% drop from 1440p and a 63.3% decrease from 1080p. This makes 4K Ultra an unplayable experience for most users, as the frame rate dips below the standard 60 FPS threshold.

The data implies that the RX 6750 XT, with its 12 GB of VRAM and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth, is the dominant constraint at 4K. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent ~34% penalty, but the jump to 4K introduces a more severe penalty at higher settings. This suggests that the GPU's compute throughput, not just its memory subsystem, is being saturated. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS is particularly telling, as it shows the RDNA 2 architecture struggling with the combined load of high resolution and maximum graphical features.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a 7 nm RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU with 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its memory configuration is 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The core clocks are listed as a base of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. These specifications position the GPU in the 71st percentile of all GPUs according to benchmark data.

The measured FPS results show a clear correlation between the GPU's workload and its performance. The jump from 1080p to 1440p incurs a roughly one-third penalty in frame rate across all settings, which is a typical scaling factor for a GPU of this class. However, the jump from 1440p to 4K is more variable, with a 44.6% penalty at High and Ultra settings but only a 44.7% penalty at Low settings. This indicates that the GPU's raw fillrate and compute capabilities are being taxed more heavily as both resolution and graphical complexity increase.

The VRAM capacity of 12 GB appears sufficient for the tested settings, as the data does not show any anomalies like sudden frame rate drops that would indicate memory swapping. The 432.0 GB/s bandwidth is a more likely bottleneck at 4K, where the demand for texture data increases exponentially. The benchmark results for the GPU show a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2548 and a Passmark G3D score of 20700, placing it in the 71st percentile. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon R9 M395X, is 0.5% slower in average benchmark score, indicating the RX 6750 XT is a competitive mid-range performer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that the best experience is a trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate. At 1080p, Medium settings offer an average of 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most gaming monitors and provides a smooth experience with good visuals. High settings at 1080p still deliver 126 FPS, which is also excellent, but Medium provides a larger safety margin for demanding multiplayer scenarios.

For 1440p users, Medium settings are the sweet spot. The average of 104 FPS and minimum of 88 FPS ensure that the experience remains fluid even during intense gameplay. High settings at 1440p drop to an average of 83 FPS, which is still playable but may be subject to noticeable dips in busy areas. Ultra settings at 1440p average 65 FPS, which is borderline for competitive play.

At 4K, the recommendations change drastically. Low settings average 73 FPS, which is playable but visually basic. Medium settings average 58 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. High and Ultra settings at 4K are not recommended, as they average 46 FPS and 36 FPS, respectively. For 4K, users should stick to Low or Medium settings to maintain a playable frame rate, accepting a significant reduction in visual quality.

The data indicates that Medium settings provide the best balance of performance and quality across all resolutions. It offers a minimum frame rate that is at least 49 FPS at 4K and 88 FPS at 1440p, ensuring a stable experience. The Medium preset appears to be the most optimized configuration for this hardware combination in Fivem.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a 105 W TDP. Its key feature is the 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is a defining characteristic of the X3D series. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 37018 on average, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Its performance is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with a 0.2% delta compared to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, and a -0.2% delta compared to the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450. The Passmark single-thread score is 2941, and the multithread score is 20363.

The CPU's role in Fivem becomes evident when examining the frame rates at 1080p. At this resolution, the GPU is less taxed, and the CPU's ability to feed frames becomes more critical. The 200 FPS average at Low settings shows that the CPU can handle high frame rates, but the drop to 98 FPS at Ultra suggests that the increased draw calls and physics calculations are starting to limit performance. The 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Fivem, as the game does not appear to be heavily multithreaded based on this data.

The large 96 MB L3 cache is likely beneficial for the game's open-world structure, where data locality and fast access to frequently used assets can improve frame pacing. The CPU's high percentile rank of 85 indicates it is a strong performer, but the Fivem-specific results show that it is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the CPU's frame rate ceiling is well above what the GPU can render. The data suggests that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D provides a solid foundation for this GPU, but the overall combo's rank of 1318 is more reflective of the GPU's mid-range positioning.
