Fivem

# Fivem with AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 produces a surprisingly balanced Fivem experience across resolutions, with the data showing that the 4090's immense GPU power is often held back by CPU-side limits at lower resolutions, while 4K Ultra still manages a playable 66 FPS average. The combo ranks 213th out of 3005 tested combinations, placing it in the top 7% of all configurations in this multiplayer title, and the measured frame rates reveal distinct scaling patterns that indicate where the bottleneck shifts between the six-core CPU and the flagship GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern across the three resolutions tested. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 247 FPS average, which drops to 215 FPS at 1440p and further to 135 FPS at 4K. This represents a 45% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count increases, but even at 4K Low the frame rates remain exceptionally high for a multiplayer title.

Moving to High settings, the scaling becomes more pronounced. The 1080p High average of 209 FPS drops to 153 FPS at 1440p and then to 85 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p High is 56 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K High is 68 FPS, showing that each resolution step takes a larger absolute toll on performance. This is a classic sign that the GPU workload is scaling super-linearly with pixel count, though the 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth keep the drops from being catastrophic.

The Medium settings row provides the only complete min/max data in the measured results, which helps contextualize the scaling. At 1080p Medium, the average is 227 FPS with a min of 193 and max of 261. At 1440p Medium, the average is 191 FPS with a min of 163 and max of 220. At 4K Medium, the average is 106 FPS with a min of 90 and max of 122. The min-to-max spread widens slightly at lower resolutions—68 FPS at 1080p versus 32 FPS at 4K—which suggests that at 1080p the CPU is introducing more frame-time variance, while at 4K the GPU-bound workload produces more consistent frame delivery.

Ultra settings show the steepest scaling curve. The 1080p Ultra average is 180 FPS, which falls to 119 FPS at 1440p and then to 66 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K Ultra is 63%, which is the largest relative decline across all settings tiers. This indicates that Ultra presets push the RTX 4090 hard enough that even its 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 1,290.2 GTexel/s texture rate begin to feel the strain, though 66 FPS at 4K Ultra remains entirely playable for a multiplayer game.

The limiting component shifts clearly between resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (247 FPS) and Ultra (180 FPS) is 67 FPS, which is relatively modest compared to the 4K spread of 69 FPS between Low (135 FPS) and Ultra (66 FPS). However, the absolute frame rates at 1080p—even at Ultra—are high enough that the six-core Ryzen 5 5600F with its 4.00 GHz boost clock is likely the primary constraint, as the RTX 4090 is capable of far higher output in synthetic benchmarks. At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant factor, and the data shows the 4090 delivering between 66 and 135 FPS depending on settings, which aligns with its 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 brings overwhelming specifications to Fivem, and the measured results reflect its top-tier status. With 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, the card offers 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth, which is crucial for a multiplayer game with large draw distances and many simultaneous actors. The 4090's boost clock of 2520 MHz and base clock of 2235 MHz, combined with 16,384 shading units and 512 TMUs, provide the raw throughput needed to maintain high frame rates even at 4K resolution.

In the context of Fivem's measured performance, the GPU's 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its average benchmark score of 60347 place it well above most competing cards. The nearest rivals in the benchmark data are the Intel Arc Pro A60 with an average score of 60326 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 (-2.5% delta), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 at 58657 (2.9% delta). This means the 4090 sits in a performance tier where its closest competitors are professional workstation cards, not consumer gaming GPUs, which underscores its dominance in this pairing.

The VRAM capacity of 24 GB is particularly relevant for Fivem, which is known for heavily modded servers that can exceed typical VRAM usage. The 4090's memory size ensures that texture streaming and high-resolution assets do not cause stuttering or texture pop-in, even at 4K Ultra settings where the GPU is most stressed. The 1.01 TB/s bandwidth also helps with the game's open-world streaming, as the GPU can quickly fetch geometry and textures from memory without becoming a bottleneck.

The measured FPS data shows the GPU's performance ceiling in this game. At 4K Low, the 135 FPS average demonstrates that even when CPU overhead is minimal, the 4090 can push well beyond standard 60 Hz displays. At 4K Ultra, the 66 FPS average shows that the card's limits are reached only when every visual feature is enabled, but the result is still comfortably playable. The RTX 4090's 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores do not appear to be heavily utilized in Fivem based on these results, as the frame rates scale more with raw rasterization throughput than with ray tracing or AI-enhanced features.

The GPU's 450 W TDP and triple-slot design are worth noting for system builders, as the card requires substantial cooling and power delivery. The suggested PSU of 850 W and 1x 16-pin power connector are standard for this class of GPU, and the 4090's 304 mm length means case compatibility should be checked before purchase. The card's production status is end-of-life, but its benchmark performance remains near the top of the charts. Its predecessor, GeForce 30, and successor, GeForce 50, bracket this generation, but the data shows the 4090 still delivers exceptional Fivem performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 213 out of 3005 tested combinations places this pairing in the top 7.1% of all configurations tested for Fivem. This is a strong result, but it is not the absolute top tier, which suggests that other CPU-GPU pairings can achieve higher frame rates in this specific title. The rank reflects the balance between the Ryzen 5 5600F and the RTX 4090, where the GPU is clearly the stronger component in absolute terms but the CPU's six cores and 12 threads may limit performance in CPU-bound scenarios.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 85th among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36945, places it in the upper tier of processors. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with a score of 36938 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at 37018 (-0.2% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37093 (-0.4% delta), and the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112 (-0.5% delta). This clustering shows that the 5600F is competitive with a range of modern and previous-generation processors, but it does not stand out as a leader in raw CPU performance.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 88th among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 60347, is slightly higher than the CPU's percentile. This mismatch suggests that the GPU is the stronger component in this pairing, and the combo rank of 213 likely reflects instances where the CPU becomes the limiting factor. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer game with significant CPU overhead for network synchronization and entity management, the 5600F's performance is critical. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 indicate solid single-core performance, which is essential for Fivem's game logic, but the 4.00 GHz boost clock is modest compared to higher-end CPUs.

The fact that this combo ranks 213th out of 3005 means there are 212 configurations that achieve better Fivem performance. These likely include pairings with higher-end CPUs such as the Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 series, or Intel Core i7 and i9 chips, which can feed the RTX 4090 more effectively at lower resolutions. The data suggests that the 5600F is a capable partner for the 4090, but it is not the ideal match for maximizing frame rates in Fivem, particularly at 1080p where CPU overhead dominates. At 4K, the combo's rank is likely more favorable, as the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck and the CPU's limitations are less impactful.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers 227 FPS average with a min of 193 FPS, which is the best balance of visual quality and performance for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Low preset at 247 FPS offers only a 20 FPS improvement over Medium, which is not worth the visual downgrade. The High preset at 209 FPS and Ultra at 180 FPS are both playable, but they do not provide enough additional visual benefit to justify the frame rate reduction from Medium. For competitive play at 1080p, Medium is the recommended setting.

At 1440p, the Medium preset again stands out with 191 FPS average and a min of 163 FPS. This provides a smooth experience on 144 Hz monitors with room to spare. The High preset at 153 FPS is also excellent and offers better visual fidelity, while the Low preset at 215 FPS is only necessary for the most competitive players. The Ultra preset at 119 FPS is playable but represents a significant drop from Medium, making it a less optimal choice for this resolution. The recommendation is High for most players, with Medium for those who prioritize frame rate consistency.

At 4K, the Medium preset at 106 FPS with a min of 90 FPS is the clear sweet spot. It maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while providing solid visual quality. The High preset at 85 FPS is also viable for players who want better visuals, and the Low preset at 135 FPS is available for those seeking maximum smoothness. The Ultra preset at 66 FPS is playable but sits close to the 60 FPS threshold, which could result in noticeable frame drops during busy multiplayer moments. For 4K, Medium is the recommended setting, with High as a reasonable alternative for visual enthusiasts.

The data shows that the Medium preset consistently provides the best measured frame time consistency across all resolutions, as it is the only setting with complete min/max data. At 1080p Medium, the 193 FPS min ensures no drops below high refresh rates. At 1440p Medium, the 163 FPS min keeps gameplay smooth on most displays. At 4K Medium, the 90 FPS min provides a safety margin above 60 FPS. The Medium preset is the safest choice for a consistent experience, while High offers better visuals with a modest frame rate penalty.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a six-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and it uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform with PCIe Gen 4 connectivity. These specifications are modest by 2025 standards, but they are sufficient for Fivem's requirements.

The CPU's PassMark benchmarks reveal its strengths and weaknesses. The single-thread score of 2872 is respectable, which is important for Fivem's game logic that relies heavily on one or two cores. The multithread score of 19236 shows that the six cores scale well in multi-threaded workloads, but the 5600F's 65 W TDP and 74 mm² die size indicate that it is not a high-end part. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36945, places it in the upper-middle tier of processors, but it is not a flagship.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical because multiplayer games have significant overhead for network synchronization, player position tracking, and server-client communication. The 5600F's six cores handle these tasks adequately, but the 4.00 GHz boost clock is the limiting factor. At 1080p, the measured FPS data shows a ceiling around 247 FPS on Low settings, which likely corresponds to the CPU's maximum frame generation rate in this game. The GPU's 88th percentile ranking suggests it could push higher frame rates if the CPU were faster.

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores are all within 0.5% of its average score, which indicates that the 5600F is perfectly competitive with the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and Intel Core i9-12900T. However, none of these rivals represent a significant upgrade, so the 5600F is not a weak link in this pairing. The bottleneck at 1080p is more about the game's CPU requirements than the CPU's absolute performance.

The CPU's 12 threads and 32 MB L3 cache help with Fivem's asset streaming and entity management, but the dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is a potential limitation compared to newer platforms with DDR5. Despite this, the measured data shows that the combo achieves excellent frame rates at all resolutions, and the CPU's performance is sufficient for a smooth experience. The 5600F is a solid partner for the RTX 4090, even if it is not the ideal match for pushing the GPU to its absolute limits at 1080p.
