# CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer) using TSMC's 7 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, offering a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework that often presents variable CPU load depending on server-side scripts and player counts, the Ryzen 5 5600's multi-threaded capabilities are relevant. Its benchmark scores demonstrate strong scaling: the 3DMark 16-thread score is 5641, while the max-thread score reaches 5659, indicating that the processor maintains consistent throughput even when all threads are engaged. The single-thread score of 882 in 3DMark, paired with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2584, suggests that the processor's per-core performance is robust — a factor that matters in Fivem, where game logic often relies on a limited number of primary threads.

The processor's PassMark single-thread score of 3256 and multithread score of 21541 reveal a balanced profile. When comparing to nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600 sits within a tight band: it is 0.6% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-1746TER (avg score 21635), and 0.9% behind the Intel Core i7-11700F (avg score 21957). The AMD EPYC 9554P and EPYC 9534 both score 21899 and 21900 respectively, placing the Ryzen 5 5600 just 0.6% behind them. This cluster of scores (within roughly 1.5% total spread) indicates that the CPU's overall benchmark average of 21765 is highly competitive, though not class-leading, positioning it at the 79th percentile among all CPUs.

Given Fivem's tendency to be sensitive to both single-thread responsiveness and multi-thread handling of background tasks, the Ryzen 5 5600's 6-core/12-thread configuration appears well-matched to the game's demands. The 32 MB shared L3 cache helps with data locality, which can be beneficial in the sprawling, mod-heavy environments typical of Fivem servers.

# GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is built on the Turing architecture with a TU116 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It features 1536 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster operation units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with memory running at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective). It is equipped with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s.

The GTX 1660 Ti's compute capabilities include an FP32 throughput of 5.437 TFLOPS and an FP16 rate of 10.87 TFLOPS (2:1). Its pixel rate is 84.96 GPixel/s and texture rate is 169.9 GTexel/s. In benchmark terms, the GPU achieves a PassMark G3D score of 12871 and a PassMark GPU compute score of 5226. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1061, while Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 60863 and 58014 respectively. The GPU sits at the 55th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 13925.

When compared to its nearest rivals, the GTX 1660 Ti is 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 570X (avg score 13871) and 0.8% ahead of both the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile (13821) and the GeForce GTX 680 (13812). It trails the NVIDIA Tesla K10 by 0.7% (14029). These deltas are minimal, indicating that the GTX 1660 Ti performs in a tightly contested tier of GPUs.

For Fivem, the 6 GB VRAM capacity is a critical consideration. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the measured average FPS is 59.7, which suggests that the VRAM allocation and memory bandwidth are sufficient for this resolution/settings combination. However, as resolution increases to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops to 37.4 FPS, and at 3840x2160, it falls to 20 FPS — indicating that the GPU becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions, likely due to both memory capacity and bandwidth constraints. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth appears adequate for 1080p gaming but becomes strained at 4K.
