Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination. The measured data reveals a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with performance characteristics that shift the bottleneck between the CPU and GPU depending on the workload. This analysis examines the measured FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, contextualizing the results within the broader database of tested hardware combinations.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 247 FPS on average. Moving to 1440p Low drops that figure to 215 FPS, a reduction of approximately 13%. Stepping up to 4K Low yields 121 FPS, which represents a 44% decrease from the 1440p figure and a 51% drop from the 1080p baseline. This scaling behavior is typical of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the rendering load on the RTX 4080 SUPER increases substantially.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. For High settings, the progression goes from 209 FPS at 1080p, to 138 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 76 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% between 1080p and 1440p, and 45% between 1440p and 4K. Medium settings show a similar trajectory: 227 FPS at 1080p, 172 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings, the most demanding preset, moves from 162 FPS at 1080p, to 107 FPS at 1440p, and down to 59 FPS at 4K.

The diminishing returns at 4K are notable. The jump from Medium to High at 4K costs 19 FPS (95 to 76), while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 17 FPS (76 to 59). This indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER is being pushed to its limits at 4K Ultra, where the 59 FPS average is the only measured result below the 60 FPS threshold. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU is providing sufficient headroom for the GPU to operate efficiently, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting component.

Interestingly, the scaling from Low to Medium settings produces smaller FPS penalties at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (247 FPS) and Medium (227 FPS) is only 20 FPS, while at 4K, the same settings difference is 26 FPS (121 to 95). This widening gap implies that the increased pixel count at 4K amplifies the impact of each settings tier, making the GPU workload more sensitive to quality adjustments at higher resolutions.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this combo, and its specifications align with the measured FPS data. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 256-bit bus width and 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth. For a game like Fivem, which is based on a 2017 release but can feature heavily modified assets in multiplayer servers, this memory capacity provides substantial headroom for high-resolution textures and additional content.

The GPU's clock speeds are noteworthy: a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz. These frequencies, combined with 10240 shading units and 320 texture mapping units, enable the high FPS figures observed at lower resolutions. The 112 raster operation units contribute to the pixel throughput, rated at 285.6 GPixel/s, which helps explain the strong 4K performance at Medium settings where the average FPS reaches 95.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 52.22 TFLOPS places it firmly in the high-end segment, and the benchmark scores reflect this. The passmark G3D score of 34245 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 confirm the GPU's capabilities. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 260075 and OpenCL score of 219065 provide additional evidence of strong compute performance that can benefit Fivem's rendering pipeline.

The GPU's percentile rank of 86 indicates it outperforms 86% of all GPUs in the database. However, the measured FPS at 4K Ultra (59 FPS) suggests that even this powerful GPU faces challenges at the highest settings. The 16 GB VRAM is unlikely to be a limiting factor in Fivem, as the game's texture requirements, even with mods, typically fit within 8-12 GB at 4K. Instead, the rendering workload at 4K Ultra, with its increased pixel count and shadow quality demands, pushes the GPU to its limits.

The GPU's launch MSRP is 999 USD, positioning it as a premium product. Its production status is end-of-life, with the GeForce 50 series as its successor, which may affect its availability but does not diminish its measured performance in this analysis.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver playable performance, with even Ultra settings producing 162 FPS. For users with high-refresh-rate monitors, Medium settings at 227 FPS offer a sweet spot, balancing visual quality with performance that exceeds most displays' refresh rate capabilities. High settings at 209 FPS provide a marginal visual improvement with only an 18 FPS penalty compared to Medium.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts toward High settings. The 138 FPS average at High provides smooth gameplay for most monitors, while the jump to Ultra (107 FPS) costs 31 FPS for incremental visual gains. Medium settings at 172 FPS are also viable for competitive play, but High offers a better balance of visual fidelity and performance. Low settings at 215 FPS are available for users prioritizing maximum frame rates, though the visual compromise is significant.

At 3840x2160, the choices become more constrained. Medium settings at 95 FPS provide the best overall experience for 4K gaming, offering a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining reasonable visual quality. High settings at 76 FPS remain playable and provide better visuals, but the 19 FPS cost over Medium may not justify the improvement for all users. Ultra settings at 59 FPS fall below the 60 FPS threshold, making them unsuitable for users who prioritize consistent frame delivery, though the visual quality is the highest available.

The data suggests that Medium settings offer the most consistent performance across all resolutions, with the only complete min/max data recorded for this preset. The minimum FPS values of 193, 146, and 81 at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively provide a reliable baseline for frame time consistency. For most users, Medium at 4K or High at 1440p represents the best compromise between visual quality and performance.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. This configuration provides solid multi-threaded performance for Fivem's server-side processing and client-side simulation, though the 6-core design may limit performance in heavily populated multiplayer servers.

The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. This 32 MB L3 cache is particularly relevant for gaming performance, as it can hold frequently accessed game data, reducing memory latency. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a theoretical bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is adequate for feeding the GPU's demands in most scenarios.

Benchmark results show a single-thread score of 2872 and a multithread score of 19236 on PassMark. These figures place the CPU in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, indicating solid but not exceptional performance. The CPU's nearest rivals all score within 0.5% of the 5600F, confirming that it sits in a competitive performance band. However, the multithread score of 19236 is notably lower than what higher-core-count processors would achieve, which could impact Fivem's performance in scenarios with many concurrent entities or complex scripts.

The CPU's TDP of 65 W and the 7 nm TSMC process node contribute to efficient operation, with a die size of 74 mm² and 4,150 million transistors. The PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes provides adequate bandwidth for the RTX 4080 SUPER, which uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. This ensures that the GPU is not bandwidth-limited in its communication with the CPU.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is significant because the game's engine handles physics, AI, and network synchronization, which are primarily CPU-bound tasks. The 5600F's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for these tasks at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the high FPS at 1080p. However, the data suggests that at 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU's rendering demands. The boost clock of 4.00 GHz provides adequate single-thread performance for the game's main game loop, which is often single-threaded in older engines.

The CPU's release date of 2025-09-15 indicates it is a relatively recent addition to the market, despite being based on the older Zen 3 architecture. This combination of newer availability with established architecture makes it a viable option for budget-conscious builds, though the launch MSRP is not listed in the data. The multiplier is unlocked, allowing for overclocking headroom, though the 65 W TDP may limit extreme overclocking without additional cooling.
