Fivem

Fivem, in its multiplayer form, is a demanding title that often behaves differently from single-player benchmarks. This analysis looks at how the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination handles the game across three resolutions and four quality presets. The data shows a system capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K performance requiring careful settings management.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 247 FPS at 1920x1080 to 164 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 83 FPS. The drop continues to 91 FPS at 3840x2160, meaning the 4K result is less than half of the 1080p figure. This indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is becoming a significant limiting factor as pixel count increases.

With Medium settings, the scaling is similar but less steep in absolute terms. The average FPS goes from 197 at 1080p to 130 at 1440p, then down to 72 at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K is 58 FPS, while the gap between 1080p and 1440p is 67 FPS. This suggests that the performance cost of moving to 4K is substantial regardless of the quality preset.

High settings show a different behavior. The average FPS is 157 at 1080p, 104 at 1440p, and 58 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is approximately 63%, which is consistent with the GPU-bound scaling seen at other settings. The RTX 3080’s 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are likely contributing factors here, as Fivem’s multiplayer environments with many players and vehicles can be memory-intensive.

Ultra settings produce the most dramatic scaling. The average FPS falls from 122 at 1080p to 80 at 1440p, and then to 45 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest recorded in the entire dataset. This confirms that the extreme preset is best reserved for lower resolutions with this hardware combo.

The pattern across all presets shows that the RTX 3080 is the primary bottleneck at 4K, while at 1080p, the CPU has more headroom to push higher frame rates. The Ryzen 5 5600F’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, appear sufficient to keep up with the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s workload at 4K limits overall performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock is 3.00 GHz and it boosts to 4.00 GHz. In Fivem, which is known for being sensitive to single-thread performance due to its game engine, the CPU’s PassMark single-thread score of 2872 is relevant. The processor’s overall benchmark score of 36945 places it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, indicating it is a solid performer.

Looking at the nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600F is essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, which has an average score of 36938 and a deltaPct of 0. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is slightly faster with a score of 37018 (deltaPct -0.2), meaning the 5600F is 0.2% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 and Intel Core i9-12900T are also close, with scores of 37093 and 37112 respectively. This cluster of processors all perform within 0.5% of each other, so the 5600F is not a weak link in a gaming system.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU’s role is more pronounced at lower resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 247, which is likely near the CPU’s practical limit for this game. The frame rate at 1080p Ultra (122 FPS) is lower than at 1440p Low (164 FPS), suggesting that the GPU is handling the extra graphical work in the Ultra preset, not the CPU.

The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600F provides enough processing power to feed the RTX 3080 at 1080p and 1440p for most settings. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are typical for this class of processor. The PassMark multithread score of 19236 shows it can handle multiple background tasks, but Fivem’s performance is more dependent on the single-thread score of 2872.

At 4K, the CPU’s contribution diminishes. The average FPS at 4K Low is 91, which is higher than the 4K High result of 58 FPS. This gap shows that the GPU is the dominant factor at this resolution. The CPU is not holding back the system in this configuration; it is the RTX 3080 that determines the final frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, all presets are playable. Ultra settings average 122 FPS, which is above the 120 FPS mark that many competitive players target. High settings at 157 FPS offer a smoother experience, while Medium at 197 FPS is excellent for high refresh rate monitors. Low at 247 FPS is the maximum, but the visual quality is likely too poor for most users. For most players at 1080p, High or Ultra provides the best balance of visuals and speed.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts. Ultra settings average 80 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer. High settings at 104 FPS are better, providing a smooth experience on a 100 Hz or 144 Hz monitor. Medium settings at 130 FPS are the sweet spot for players who prioritize frame rate over visual detail. Low at 164 FPS is very fast, but may look too bare. The data suggests that High is the best overall preset for 1440p, offering a 104 FPS average without the graphical compromises of Medium.

For 3840x2160, the options are more constrained. Ultra at 45 FPS is not recommended for a game like Fivem, where quick reactions matter. High at 58 FPS is borderline, and may be acceptable for less intense sessions. Medium at 72 FPS is the best compromise, offering a playable frame rate with reasonable visual quality. Low at 91 FPS is the smoothest option, but the reduction in draw distance and effects may put players at a disadvantage. For 4K, Medium is the recommended preset, as it delivers the highest average FPS above 60 without resorting to the lowest settings.

The Medium settings row consistently shows a stable frame rate with min and max values close to the average. At 1080p, the range is 167-226 FPS. At 1440p, it is 110-149 FPS. At 4K, it is 61-83 FPS. This consistency makes Medium a reliable choice for multiplayer, where frame time spikes can be more problematic than a lower average FPS.
