Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER delivers a playable but resolution-sensitive experience in Fivem. The data shows a clear progression from excellent 1080p performance to a struggle at 4K, with the balance between the six-core CPU and the 6 GB GPU shifting significantly as the pixel count increases.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 123 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low settings drops the average to 81 FPS, a reduction of 42 FPS or roughly 34%. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average falls further to 45 FPS, which is only 37% of the 1080p result.

This scaling pattern indicates that the GTX 1660 SUPER becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 42 FPS is substantial, but the 1440p to 4K drop of 36 FPS shows the GPU hitting a wall where fill rate and memory bandwidth constrain performance. The 6 GB GDDR6 memory with 336.0 GB/s bandwidth is likely saturated at 4K, causing the frame rate to collapse to near-unplayable levels.

The High settings row tells a similar story. At 1080p, the average is 77 FPS, which drops to 51 FPS at 1440p and 28 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1440p to 4K (45%) is steeper than from 1080p to 1440p (34%), confirming that the GPU's rendering capabilities degrade disproportionately at higher resolutions. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, appears capable of feeding frames at 1080p but is not the bottleneck at 4K where the GPU is clearly overwhelmed.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 2569 out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the lower half of all configs. This percentile position reflects the GTX 1660 SUPER's age and mid-range positioning rather than a deficiency in the CPU. The GPU's benchmark data shows a Passmark G3D score of 12699, with a percentile ranking of 53 against all GPUs, meaning it sits just above the median.

The CPU's benchmark results are stronger. The Ryzen 5 5600F achieves a Passmark multithread score of 19236 and a single-thread score of 2872, placing it in the 85th percentile against all CPUs. This disparity between the CPU's strong showing and the overall combo's low rank suggests that the GPU is dragging the pairing down in this specific title. The nearest rival GPUs to the GTX 1660 SUPER include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile with an average score of 12940, and the AMD Radeon RX 580 at 12928, both within 0.4% of the 1660 SUPER's average score of 12986.

GPU Role

The GTX 1660 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU116 chip manufactured on a 12 nm process. It features 1408 shading units, 88 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. The core clocks run at 1530 MHz base and 1785 MHz boost, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). This configuration produces a pixel rate of 85.68 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 157.1 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 5.027 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's 6 GB VRAM capacity and 192-bit memory bus are likely the critical constraints at higher settings. The measured data shows Ultra settings producing 60 FPS at 1080p, 40 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K. The gap between High and Ultra at 1080p (77 vs 60 FPS) suggests that the extra graphical features in Ultra tax the GPU's compute units significantly. At 4K, Ultra dips to 22 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay and indicates that the GPU's 48 ROPs cannot keep up with the pixel output demand.

The 12 nm process node and 6,600 million transistors contribute to a TDP of 125 W, requiring a single 8-pin power connector. The GPU's predecessor is the GeForce 10 series and its successor is the GeForce 20 series, placing it in a transitional generation that lacks ray tracing cores but supports DirectX 12 (12_1).

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. At 1920x1080, Medium settings deliver 97 FPS average with a minimum of 82 FPS and maximum of 111 FPS, providing a smooth experience with only a 26 FPS penalty compared to Low. High settings at 1080p still maintain 77 FPS average, which is acceptable for competitive play, but Medium offers a better balance of visual quality and headroom.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings produce 64 FPS average with a minimum of 54 FPS and maximum of 73 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for 1440p as it stays above 60 FPS on average while keeping the minimum frame rate playable. High settings at 1440p drop to 51 FPS average, which introduces noticeable stutter in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. Low settings at 1440p reach 81 FPS but sacrifice too much visual fidelity for the modest gain over Medium.

At 3840x2160, none of the settings achieve a consistently smooth experience. Low settings produce 45 FPS average, which is borderline playable but will drop during intense scenes. Medium at 4K falls to 35 FPS average with a minimum of 30 FPS and maximum of 41 FPS, making it the best balance if 4K is mandatory. High and Ultra at 4K are effectively unplayable at 28 FPS and 22 FPS respectively, so users should avoid those configurations entirely.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It operates at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boosts to 4.00 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. It is manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die.

The CPU's benchmark performance is strong across various workloads. It scores 232836 in data compression, 13839 in data encryption, and 16266 in extended instructions. The floating point math score is 34548, integer math is 59339, and the multithread score is 19236. The single-thread score of 2872 places it in the 85th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36945.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not saturated. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 123 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed frames at a rate exceeding 120 FPS. The 12 threads likely handle the multiplayer game's simulation and network code efficiently. The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, scores 36938, a 0% delta, indicating comparable overall processing power.

The CPU's release date is listed as 2025-09-15, making it a recent addition to AMD's lineup despite using the older Zen 3 architecture. It supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes and has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. The 32 MB L3 cache is shared across all cores, which benefits workloads that require frequent data sharing between threads, such as game physics and AI computations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full range of settings produces playable results. Low settings average 123 FPS, Medium averages 97 FPS with a minimum of 82 and maximum of 111, High averages 77 FPS, and Ultra averages 60 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs 26 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 20 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 17 FPS. This linear degradation suggests the GPU scales predictably with graphical load at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops are more pronounced. Low averages 81 FPS, Medium averages 64 FPS with a minimum of 54 and maximum of 73, High averages 51 FPS, and Ultra averages 40 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium is 17 FPS, Medium to High is 13 FPS, and High to Ultra is 11 FPS. The diminishing returns indicate that the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, performance falls below acceptable levels for most settings. Low averages 45 FPS, Medium averages 35 FPS with a minimum of 30 and maximum of 41, High averages 28 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. The gaps between settings shrink further: Low to Medium is 10 FPS, Medium to High is 7 FPS, and High to Ultra is 6 FPS. This compression of performance differences indicates that the GPU is fully saturated and cannot differentiate between settings effectively at 4K.

The Medium settings row is the only one with min and max FPS data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the spread is 29 FPS (82 to 111), at 1440p the spread is 19 FPS (54 to 73), and at 4K the spread is 11 FPS (30 to 41). The narrowing spread at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU's performance becomes more consistent but at a lower overall level, as the bottleneck shifts from frame-to-frame CPU variance to sustained GPU limits.
