Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 produces a distinctive frame rate curve in Fivem, one that clearly separates GPU-bound scenarios from CPU-bound ones. This combination ranks 183rd out of 3005 tested combos, placing it in the top 6.1% of all configurations in the database. The measured data reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution but shows interesting behavior at lower settings where the CPU becomes the primary limiter.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial but not uniform across all settings presets. At High settings, average FPS falls from 209 at 1920x1080 to 157 at 2560x1440, then to 87 at 3840x2160. This represents a 24.9% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a 44.6% further reduction from 1440p to 4K. The total scaling from 1080p to 4K at High settings is a 58.4% drop, which indicates a strongly GPU-limited scenario as pixel count increases.

Low settings show a different pattern. At 1080p, the system achieves 247 FPS average, dropping to 215 at 1440p (a 13.0% reduction) and then to 138 at 4K (a 35.8% reduction from 1440p). The total 1080p-to-4K drop at Low settings is 44.1%, which is noticeably smaller than the High preset's 58.4% drop. This smaller scaling factor suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is beginning to constrain performance, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is less burdened.

Medium settings provide the most complete data with min and max FPS recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 227 FPS with a minimum of 193 and maximum of 261. Moving to 1440p Medium drops the average to 196 (a 13.7% reduction), while 4K Medium averages 109 FPS (a 44.4% reduction from 1440p). The 52.0% total drop from 1080p to 4K at Medium settings sits between the Low and High presets, consistent with a workload that becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases.

Ultra settings show the steepest scaling curve. From 185 FPS at 1080p, the average falls to 122 at 1440p (a 34.1% reduction) and then to 67 at 4K (a 45.1% reduction from 1440p). The total 1080p-to-4K drop at Ultra is 63.8%, the largest of all presets. This confirms that the Ultra preset pushes the GPU hardest, making resolution scaling most apparent at the highest visual quality settings.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 brings substantial resources to this game, including 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs provide the raw throughput needed for high-resolution rendering. Clock speeds are listed at 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective).

The VRAM capacity of 32 GB is far beyond what Fivem typically requires, even at 4K Ultra settings. The data supports this observation: the most demanding configuration in the measured set (4K Ultra) achieves 67 FPS average, which is not a memory-capacity problem but rather a raw compute limitation. The 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and asset loading are unlikely to become bottlenecks, even in multiplayer scenarios with many unique objects and vehicles.

The GPU's passmark G3D score of 39650 and its 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs place it in elite territory. However, the nearest rival comparisons show interesting context: the Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605 in average benchmark score versus the RTX 5090's 79842, a delta of 0.3%. The RX 6850M XT is 1.1% behind, while the Radeon Pro Vega 64X is 1.4% ahead. These small deltas in synthetic benchmarks don't translate to equal gaming performance, as the measured FPS data shows the RTX 5090 delivering playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra.

At 4K resolution, the GPU is clearly the limiting component across all settings. The spread from 67 FPS at Ultra to 138 FPS at Low represents a 106.0% performance range, showing how much headroom remains when visual quality is reduced. This pattern indicates that the RTX 5090's compute resources — 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate — are fully utilized at 4K, with the GPU becoming the primary determinant of frame rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The CPU has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Its passmark multithread score of 19236 and single-thread score of 2872 place it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs.

The CPU's benchmark performance shows a mixed picture. The passmark physics score of 1043 and floating point math score of 34548 indicate solid computational capability, but the nearest rival comparisons reveal tight competition. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36938 versus the 5600F's 36945 average benchmark score, a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is 0.2% behind, the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is 0.4% behind, and the Core i9-12900T is 0.5% behind. These sub-1% differences suggest that the 5600F is positioned in a highly competitive segment of the CPU market.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 247 FPS, which is only 19.6% higher than the 4K Low result of 138 FPS. This relatively small gap at Low settings suggests that the CPU is approaching its limit around 247 FPS. Similarly, at 1080p Medium, the average is 227 FPS with a minimum of 193, showing that even when the GPU has less work, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads constrain maximum frame rates.

The 1080p Ultra result of 185 FPS is interesting because it's lower than the 1080p Medium result of 227 FPS, but this gap (18.5%) is smaller than the corresponding 4K gap between Medium (109 FPS) and Ultra (67 FPS), which is 38.5%. This compression of the settings-based performance gap at 1080p further indicates CPU involvement — as the GPU becomes less overloaded at lower resolutions, the CPU's ability to feed frames becomes more significant.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 227 FPS average with a minimum of 193 and maximum of 261, providing smooth gameplay with substantial headroom. The 1440p Medium result of 196 FPS (minimum 166, maximum 225) remains well above typical display refresh rates.

For 4K users, Medium is the recommended starting point at 109 FPS average with a minimum of 92 FPS. This frame rate is playable on high-refresh displays and maintains visual quality above the Low preset. The jump from Medium to High at 4K costs 22 FPS (from 109 to 87), which may not be worth the visual improvement for competitive play. Conversely, the jump from Medium to Low at 4K gains 29 FPS (from 109 to 138), which could benefit players prioritizing maximum frame rates.

At 1440p, the High preset at 157 FPS offers an excellent experience, and even Ultra at 122 FPS remains highly playable. The 1080p Ultra preset at 185 FPS is the best visual quality option for users with 1080p displays, though the 42 FPS gap between Ultra and Medium at this resolution (185 vs 227) suggests diminishing returns from the highest preset.

Ultra averages 67 FPS, a 23.0% reduction from High. The total range at 4K is 71 FPS, or 51.4% of the Low value, representing the largest relative spread across presets.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the spread from minimum to maximum is 68 FPS. At 1440p, this spread is 59 FPS. At 4K, the spread narrows to 33 FPS, indicating more consistent frame pacing at higher resolutions where the GPU workload is more uniform.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 183rd out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 6.1% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the system's ability to deliver high frame rates across all measured resolutions and settings, with even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset achieving 67 FPS average.

The ranking is notable given the CPU's position in the market. The Ryzen 5 5600F sits in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36945. Its nearest rivals — the Core Ultra 5 225, Ryzen 5 5500X3D, Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and Core i9-12900T — all score within 0.5% of each other, indicating the 5600F is competitive but not exceptional in synthetic workloads. The RTX 5090, however, ranks in the 92nd percentile among GPUs, with a passmark G3D score of 39650 and an average benchmark score of 79842.

The combination's rank of 183 suggests that while the RTX 5090 provides exceptional GPU performance, the Ryzen 5 5600F limits the system's potential in CPU-bound scenarios like 1080p Low. The measured FPS data supports this interpretation: at 1080p Low, the system achieves 247 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame delivery capability. In contrast, at 4K Ultra, the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 67 FPS, a scenario where the CPU has ample headroom.

The ranking also reflects the game's multiplayer nature. Fivem's performance depends on both server-side and client-side processing, with the CPU handling game logic and physics alongside the GPU's rendering duties. The 5600F's 6 cores and 12 threads provide adequate parallelism for these tasks, but the 4.00 GHz boost clock and 32 MB L3 cache determine single-thread performance, which is critical for Fivem's simulation tick rate. The combination of a top-tier GPU with a mid-range CPU results in a system that excels at high resolutions but shows CPU limitations at lower settings, a characteristic reflected in its 183rd overall ranking.
