# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

The measured frame rates for this combination show a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth proving sufficient for Fivem's demands. The combo ranks 359th out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the top 20% of all pairings. This is a configuration that clearly favors high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p play, while 4K remains playable but demands careful settings selection.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial but not catastrophic. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 (282.9 FPS) to 3840x2160 (99.7 FPS) represents a 64.8% reduction in frame rate. This steep decline indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count rises, which is expected given the RTX 5070's 80 ROPs and 192-bit memory bus working harder at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern becomes more revealing when examining the High preset. Moving from 1080p High (177.9 FPS) to 1440p High (114.4 FPS) yields a 35.7% drop, while the jump to 4K High (67.2 FPS) costs another 41.3%. This progressive degradation suggests that neither the CPU nor GPU is a singular bottleneck—rather, the system shows balanced scaling where each resolution increase proportionally taxes the render pipeline.

At Ultra settings, the 4K result of 49.4 FPS versus 1080p's 136.7 FPS shows a 63.9% reduction, nearly identical to the Low preset's percentage drop. This consistency across presets implies that the limiting factor at 4K is primarily resolution-driven pixel throughput rather than specific settings features. The data indicates the RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 performance is adequate for 1440p gaming but reaches its practical ceiling at 4K with this CPU pairing.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals that Medium settings offer the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 224 FPS—79.3% of the Low preset's 282.9 FPS—while providing substantially better visual quality than Low. The trade-off becomes even more favorable at 1440p, where Medium's 148.4 FPS represents 81.1% of Low's 183.1 FPS, maintaining high refresh rate capability.

For 4K, High settings at 67.2 FPS provide the best compromise between visual fidelity and playability. The jump from Medium (80.5 FPS) to High costs 16.5% performance but delivers meaningful quality improvements. Ultra at 4K (49.4 FPS) falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider minimum for smooth gameplay, making it impractical for competitive multiplayer scenarios.

The data suggests that players prioritizing frame rate should select Low at 1440p (183.1 FPS) or 1080p (282.9 FPS), while those wanting visual quality should choose High at 1440p (114.4 FPS) or Medium at 4K (80.5 FPS). The Ultra preset appears intended for screenshots or single-player scenarios rather than competitive multiplayer given the significant performance cost.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070's memory configuration plays a crucial role in these results. With 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus delivering 672.0 GB/s, the card provides ample bandwidth for Fivem's asset streaming. The 1750 MHz memory clock translating to 28 Gbps effective speed ensures that texture loading and draw call processing don't become bottlenecks at higher resolutions.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base of 2325 MHz with a boost of 2512 MHz. The relatively modest boost headroom suggests the card operates near its thermal and power limits during extended gaming sessions, with the 250 W TDP reflecting the power draw necessary to sustain these clocks. The pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s indicate the card can handle Fivem's rendering requirements at 1080p and 1440p without issue.

The 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores present in this Blackwell 2.0 architecture provide future-proofing for games that implement ray tracing or DLSS features, though Fivem's current implementation doesn't appear to heavily utilize these specialized units based on the linear scaling observed. The card's 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41687, places it slightly ahead of the RTX 3090 (41441) by 0.6% and behind the Tesla M40 (41897) by 0.5%.
