How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 2345 out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem. This puts the setup in the bottom 22% of all tested systems, signaling that it is not an optimal configuration for this game. Benchmarks results indicate that a majority of other pairings are capable of producing higher frame rates. The percentile ranking is a direct reflection of the measured FPS data, which shows the system struggling to maintain high performance at the most demanding settings.

When looking at the raw scores, the CPU’s average benchmark score is 36945, which places it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs. In contrast, the GPU’s average benchmark score is 15290, placing it at the 58th percentile among all GPUs. This discrepancy is a critical indicator: the processor is a relatively stronger component in general compute tasks, while the graphics card is closer to the middle of the pack. In Fivem, this dynamic plays out in a way where the GPU becomes the primary limiter for achieving higher frame rates, especially as resolution and settings increase. The combo’s low rank is a consequence of this GPU-bound nature at the higher quality presets.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. It belongs to the 5000 series and uses the Zen 3 architecture on the AMD Socket AM4 platform. The processor’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 7 nm process node contribute to its strong synthetic benchmark results, including a single-thread score of 2872 and a multithread score of 19236.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is not as heavily taxed. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 145 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to keep it busy. However, as the resolution increases to 4K and the settings are raised to Ultra, the average FPS plummets to 26. This dramatic drop indicates that the system is no longer CPU-bound; rather, the GPU is struggling to render the increased number of pixels and visual effects.

The CPU’s performance relative to its rivals is noteworthy. Its average score of 36945 is nearly identical to the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (36938, deltaPct 0) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (37018, deltaPct -0.2). This means that in synthetic tests, the 5600F is essentially on par with these other processors. In Fivem, this translates to a CPU that is more than adequate for the task. The data suggests that the 5600F is not the bottleneck in this pairing, as the frame rate differences between settings at a fixed resolution are primarily driven by graphics load.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the system's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers strong results. With Low settings, the average FPS is 145. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 115 FPS, with a minimum of 97 and a maximum of 132. High settings produce an average of 92 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset yields an average of 71 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the performance degrades as expected. Low settings still provide a smooth experience with an average of 96 FPS. The Medium preset averages 75 FPS (min 64, max 87), while High settings drop to 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution brings the average down to 47 FPS, which is still playable but shows the system is under increasing strain.

The 3840x2160 results highlight the GPU's limitations. Low settings at 4K achieve an average of 53 FPS. The Medium preset averages 42 FPS (min 36, max 48), and High settings drop to 33 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the worst-case scenario, with an average of just 26 FPS. These numbers show a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution or settings takes a significant toll on performance, with the gap between Low and Ultra widening as resolution increases. For instance, the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 74 FPS, while at 4K it is only 27 FPS, due to the frame rate already being so low.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the graphics powerhouse of this combo, featuring 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. Its memory bandwidth is 336.0 GB/s, and it operates with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz. The GPU is based on the Turing architecture and has a TDP of 160 W.

The GPU’s role in Fivem is the primary driver of performance variation. The data shows that the frame rate is highly sensitive to both resolution and graphical settings, which points to a GPU-bound scenario in most cases. At 1080p Low, the GPU is able to push out 145 FPS, but this is likely near its limit for that resolution. As the resolution increases, the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth become the limiting factors. The move from 1080p to 1440p at High settings results in a 32 FPS drop (from 92 to 60), and the move from 1440p to 4K at High settings results in a further 27 FPS drop (from 60 to 33).

The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its mid-range position. It scores 14111 in Passmark G3D and 5488 in Passmark GPU Compute. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (15283, deltaPct 0) and the AMD Radeon 680M (15270, deltaPct 0.1). The RTX 2060's 6 GB VRAM is a significant factor; at 4K Ultra, Fivem’s texture and geometry requirements likely exceed what the GPU can render in real-time, leading to the observed 26 FPS average. The 160 W TDP and 450 W suggested PSU indicate the system's power requirements, but the performance ceiling is clearly defined by the GPU's compute and memory capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the High preset offers a balanced experience with an average of 92 FPS. This is a good target for high-refresh-rate monitors, as it stays well above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 115 FPS is even better for competitive play, but High provides a better visual experience.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers an average of 60 FPS, which is the standard for smooth gameplay. This is the recommended setting for this resolution, as it provides a perfect balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Medium preset at 75 FPS is also a viable option for those seeking a smoother experience, while the Ultra preset at 47 FPS may be too inconsistent for some users.

For 4K, the data suggests that the Ultra preset is not viable, with an average of only 26 FPS. The High preset at 33 FPS is also below the playable threshold for most users. The Medium preset at 42 FPS is the highest playable option, but it is still not ideal. The Low preset at 53 FPS is the most playable option at 4K, but it requires a significant sacrifice in visual quality. Given these numbers, the best experience is achieved at 1080p with High or Medium settings, or at 1440p with High settings, where the system can maintain a solid frame rate without compromising too much on visuals.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a clear and consistent drop as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the average FPS goes from 115 at 1080p, to 75 at 1440p, and finally to 42 at 4K. This represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the averages are 92, 60, and 33 FPS respectively, showing a similar percentage decline.

This scaling pattern is a classic indicator of a GPU-bound system. The CPU’s performance is relatively constant across these resolutions, as it is responsible for game logic and physics, not pixel rendering. The GPU, on the other hand, has to work exponentially harder as the pixel count increases. The RTX 2060’s 6 GB VRAM and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K, especially on the Ultra preset.

The fact that the FPS does not scale linearly with resolution suggests that the GPU is hitting a memory bandwidth or compute limit. The gap between Low and Ultra settings also narrows at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 74 FPS (145 vs 71). At 4K, this difference is only 27 FPS (53 vs 26). This is because at 4K, the GPU is so saturated that even lowering the settings cannot fully compensate for the sheer number of pixels, confirming that the limiting component is the GPU, not the Ryzen 5 5600F. The CPU has sufficient headroom, as evidenced by its high performance at lower resolutions where the GPU is less burdened.
