Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Fivem, but the data shows a distinct wall at 4K. The combo ranks in the 55th percentile (990 out of 1792 tested combos), which is respectable but not top-tier. The measured results reveal a system that excels at high refresh rates on standard monitors but requires significant settings compromises for 4K displays.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, indicating that the Radeon RX 6700 XT becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate falls from 91.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 59.5 FPS at 2560x1440, a 35% reduction, and then plummets to 33.6 FPS at 3840x2160, which is a further 44% drop. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario where pixel throughput becomes the bottleneck.

The Low settings preset tells a clearer story about the CPU's headroom. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 189.4 FPS, but this falls to 126.1 FPS at 1440p and 69.2 FPS at 4K. The 33% reduction from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is smaller than the 47% reduction seen at Ultra settings, suggesting that the CPU can still push high frame rates when the GPU workload is lightened. However, the 4K Low result of 69.2 FPS demonstrates that even with minimal graphical demands, the GPU cannot maintain the frame rates seen at lower resolutions.

Medium settings show the most balanced scaling curve, with 150.6 FPS at 1080p, 97.7 FPS at 1440p, and 54.7 FPS at 4K. This represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The High preset follows a similar pattern, going from 121.6 FPS at 1080p to 81.5 FPS at 1440p (33% drop) and then to 43.6 FPS at 4K (47% drop). The consistent 33-47% reductions across all presets point squarely at the GPU as the primary limiter once resolution increases.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6700 XT brings 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is adequate for Fivem's open-world assets at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results suggest that the GPU's compute resources, not its memory capacity, are the limiting factor. The card's boost clock of 2581 MHz and game clock of 2424 MHz provide the raw throughput needed for the lower resolution presets.

The GPU's 2560 shading units and 40 ray accelerators are part of the RDNA 2.0 architecture. In Fivem, the benchmark results show that the card can deliver 189.4 FPS at 1080p Low, which is a strong indicator of its rasterization capabilities. However, at 4K Ultra, the average drops to 33.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most players target. The 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is clearly insufficient for 4K Ultra in this multiplayer title.

The data shows that the RX 6700 XT performs best in the 1080p and 1440p ranges. At 1440p High, it achieves 81.5 FPS, which is playable for most users, and at 1440p Medium it reaches 97.7 FPS. The card's 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 413.0 GTexel/s texture rate are well-suited for these resolutions. The GPU's nearest rival in the benchmark database is the AMD Radeon RX 6800, which scores 0.7% higher on average, indicating that the 6700 XT is positioned closely to its more expensive sibling in overall performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. With a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, it provides solid single-thread performance that is critical for Fivem's multiplayer simulations. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps with the game's dynamic world streaming, and the 65 W TDP indicates efficient power draw.

The CPU benchmark data shows a strong multi-threaded showing with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584. In Fivem, which often has CPU-bound moments during player interactions and scripted events, this processor can maintain high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The 1080p Low result of 189.4 FPS demonstrates that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions.

The Ryzen 5 5600's percentile ranking of 79 among all CPUs puts it above most mainstream processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, scores 0.6% higher on average, while the Intel Core i7-11700F is 0.9% ahead. This tight grouping means the 5600 is not leaving significant performance on the table in CPU-heavy scenarios. The processor's 12 threads allow it to handle background tasks while gaming, and the 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth is sufficient for the dual-channel DDR4 setup.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong results across all settings. Low settings produce 189.4 FPS, Medium 150.6 FPS, High 121.6 FPS, and Ultra 91.3 FPS. This 1080p range is where the system shines, with even the heaviest preset staying above 90 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 38.8 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 30.3 FPS, showing diminishing returns at the top end.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains respectable but the gaps narrow. Low settings hit 126.1 FPS, Medium 97.7 FPS, High 81.5 FPS, and Ultra 59.5 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result of 59.5 FPS is just below the 60 FPS mark, which could be a concern for users with high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 66.6 FPS, compared to 98.1 FPS at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates at higher presets. Low settings achieve 69.2 FPS, Medium 54.7 FPS, High 43.6 FPS, and Ultra 33.6 FPS. The 4K Low result is the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so by a slim margin. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Ultra shows a 25.9 FPS drop, which is the largest single-resolution penalty in the dataset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo holds position 990 out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the middle of the pack. This ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outperforms the other in Fivem. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs is higher than the GPU's 77th percentile ranking among all GPUs, suggesting the processor has slightly more headroom relative to its peers.

The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800 at 0.7% higher average score and the NVIDIA RTX A5000 at 1.3% higher, while the AMD Radeon HD 7950 and RX 480 both score 1% lower. This tight clustering means the RX 6700 XT is well-positioned within its performance class. The CPU's rival group shows similar clustering, with the Xeon D-1746TER 0.6% ahead and the EPYC 9554P 0.6% behind.

In the context of Fivem specifically, the combo's 55th percentile rank indicates that while many systems outperform it, a substantial number also fall behind. The data suggests this pairing is a competent mid-range choice for the game, capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and solid 1440p performance, but not designed for 4K gaming.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080 displays, Ultra settings are viable at 91.3 FPS, but High settings at 121.6 FPS provide a smoother experience with only minor visual differences. Players prioritizing frame rate should use Medium at 150.6 FPS, while Low at 189.4 FPS is reserved for competitive play.

At 2560x1440, the best balance is Medium settings at 97.7 FPS, which stays well above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining good visual quality. High settings at 81.5 FPS are also acceptable, but Ultra at 59.5 FPS dips below 60 FPS and is not recommended for standard 60 Hz monitors. Low at 126.1 FPS is the choice for high-refresh-rate displays.

For 3840x2160, only Low settings at 69.2 FPS provide a consistently playable experience. Medium at 54.7 FPS may be tolerable for some users, but High and Ultra at 43.6 and 33.6 FPS are below playable thresholds for most players. The data suggests that 4K users should either stick to Low settings or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for better performance.
