Fivem

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rate data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER shows a clear pattern across all three resolutions: the Low preset delivers the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra consistently last. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 121.6 FPS average, while Medium drops to 98.8 FPS, High falls to 80 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 62.6 FPS. This spread of roughly 59 FPS between Low and Ultra at 1080p indicates that the preset choice has a substantial impact on performance in this multiplayer title.

For players targeting high refresh-rate monitors, the Low preset at 1920x1080 is the only configuration that pushes past the 120 FPS mark, making it the optimal choice for competitive play. The Medium preset at 1080p still provides a smooth experience near 100 FPS, which may be preferable for users who want a balance between visual fidelity and responsiveness. At 2560x1440, the Low preset returns 84.1 FPS, which remains playable, but the Medium preset at 66.2 FPS starts to show the GPU's limits. The High preset at 1440p produces 52.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 40.5 FPS, both of which are less ideal for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

At 3840x2160, even the Low preset only manages 44.6 FPS, while Medium yields 34.5 FPS, High produces 28.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 24.4 FPS. None of the 4K configurations reach 60 FPS, indicating that this combo is not suited for 4K gaming in Fivem. The data suggests that the Low preset at 1080p offers the best overall experience for this hardware pairing, providing the highest headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium at 1080p is a viable alternative for users who prioritize visual quality over maximum frame rates, as it still maintains nearly 100 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER ranks 1531 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower portion of the database. This rank of 1531 out of 1792 means that roughly 85% of tested system configurations outperform this pairing in this specific game. The percentile position is noteworthy because both components individually hold respectable positions in their respective benchmarks — the CPU sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 55th percentile among all GPUs. The significant drop in combo ranking relative to component percentiles suggests that Fivem's multiplayer workload presents unique challenges that this pairing does not handle as well as other titles.

The data indicates that the GPU is likely the limiting factor in this combo, given that the GTX 1660 SUPER's 55th percentile is substantially lower than the CPU's 79th percentile. In Fivem, which appears to be heavily dependent on rendering performance, the GPU's mid-range standing drags the overall combo ranking down. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon D-1746TER with an average score of 21635 (0.6% higher), the AMD EPYC 9554P at 21899 (0.6% lower), and the Intel Core i7-11700F at 21957 (0.9% lower), showing that the Ryzen 5 5600 is competitive with these processors. However, the GPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 at 14314 (0.2% lower), Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics at 14315 (0.2% lower), and AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT at 14389 (0.7% lower) — are all closely matched, indicating the GTX 1660 SUPER sits in a crowded mid-range segment where small differences matter.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER brings 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 336.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1530 MHz with a boost clock of 1785 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed. These specifications place the GTX 1660 SUPER in the upper mid-range tier, and the benchmark results confirm its position: the PassMark G3D score of 12699 and an average benchmark score of 14286 put it at the 55th percentile of all GPUs.

In Fivem's measured performance, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is 59 FPS (from 121.6 down to 62.6), while at 1440p the spread narrows to 43.6 FPS (from 84.1 down to 40.5), and at 4K it further narrows to 20.2 FPS (from 44.6 down to 24.4). This pattern indicates that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck, and preset changes have diminishing returns because the GPU is already saturated. The 6 GB VRAM capacity, while sufficient for 1080p gaming, may be a constraint at higher resolutions with Ultra settings, as the data shows the GTX 1660 SUPER struggling to maintain playable frame rates at 4K across all presets.

A: The GTX 1660 SUPER has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 336.0 GB/s bandwidth. This configuration supports smooth 1080p play but becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions, as shown by the steep FPS drops at 1440p and 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 121.6 at 1080p to 84.1 at 1440p (a 30.8% reduction), then further to 44.6 at 4K (a 47% reduction from 1440p). The Medium preset follows a similar trajectory: 98.8 FPS at 1080p, 66.2 at 1440p (33% drop), and 34.5 at 4K (47.9% drop from 1440p). The High preset shows 80 FPS at 1080p, 52.5 at 1440p (34.4% drop), and 28.1 at 4K (46.5% drop from 1440p). The Ultra preset experiences the largest absolute decline: 62.6 FPS at 1080p, 40.5 at 1440p (35.3% drop), and 24.4 at 4K (39.8% drop from 1440p).

The percentage drops from 1080p to 1440p are relatively consistent across presets, ranging from 30.8% to 35.3%, which suggests the scaling is primarily resolution-driven rather than preset-driven. The drops from 1440p to 4K are more variable, with Low seeing a 47% reduction, Medium 47.9%, High 46.5%, and Ultra 39.8%. The smaller percentage drop for Ultra at 4K indicates that the GPU is already so heavily loaded at 1440p Ultra that the additional resolution increase has less relative impact. This pattern strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at resolutions above 1080p, as the CPU's performance headroom (evidenced by its higher percentile ranking) cannot compensate for the GPU's rendering limitations.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename), built on TSMC's 7 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Its benchmark results are strong for a mid-range desktop processor: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 18309, single-core scores 2584, and PassMark multi-thread scores 21541 with a single-thread score of 3256.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at most settings, but the data reveals its importance at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 121.6 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed frames quickly enough to approach high refresh rates. However, the fact that FPS scales significantly with resolution (dropping to 84.1 at 1440p and 44.6 at 4K on Low) indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with its nearest rivals being server and workstation processors (Intel Xeon D-1746TER, AMD EPYC 9554P, AMD EPYC 9534), shows that the Ryzen 5 5600 has substantial compute headroom that is not fully utilized in Fivem's GPU-bound scenarios. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, while not the highest core count, are sufficient for this game's multi-threaded workload, as evidenced by the smooth performance at 1080p where the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output.
