Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the limiting factor at 1080p Ultra?

A: The 37.2 FPS average at 1080p Ultra suggests GPU limitation, as the Ryzen 5 5600G's multi-threaded capabilities (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16758) far exceed what is needed to drive this frame rate, while the RX 570's 4 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth become constraining.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its nearest rival in average benchmark score?

A: The RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 30158, which is 0.2% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060's score of 30109. This places the two cards nearly identical in synthetic performance, despite their generational differences.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is built on the Polaris 20 chip using a 14 nm process from GlobalFoundries, featuring 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output pipelines. Its base clock runs at 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, while the 4 GB of GDDR5 memory operates at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. This configuration delivers 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, a figure that appears insufficient for Fivem's demands at higher resolutions.

The benchmark data shows a clear pattern: at 3840x2160, even Low settings only produce 28.7 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 14.3 FPS. This dramatic scaling indicates the GPU's pixel fill rate (39.81 GPixel/s) and texture rate (159.2 GTexel/s) become overwhelmed as pixel count rises. The 4 GB VRAM capacity likely contributes to the severe performance degradation at 4K, as texture data exceeds available memory and forces slower memory operations. Interestingly, the GPU's average benchmark score of 30158 places it within 0.2% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT in synthetic tests, yet its real-world Fivem performance reveals the limitations of its older architecture and memory configuration.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G provides six cores and twelve threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz can boost up to 4.40 GHz, supported by a 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The processor's benchmark results demonstrate robust computational power, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16758 and a single-core score of 2365, alongside a Geekbench multi-core score of 7693.

In Fivem, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU across most tested configurations. The 1080p Low result of 74.4 FPS suggests the processor can handle the game's logic and physics at moderate frame rates, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck when settings increase. The CPU's 3DMark scores — 5451 for 16 threads and 872 for single thread — indicate sufficient headroom for the game's multi-threaded workload. The processor ranks in the 78th percentile against all CPUs, with its nearest rival being the Intel Core i7-11600H (0.2% higher score) and the AMD EPYC 7713P (0.2% lower score). This positioning shows the 5600G holds its own computationally, yet the system's overall Fivem performance is constrained by the graphics subsystem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers average FPS values of 74.4 (Low), 60.8 (Medium), 50.5 (High), and 37.2 (Ultra). The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 50% performance reduction, with each quality tier costing roughly 12-15 FPS. This resolution provides the most playable experience, with Low and Medium presets crossing the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance drops significantly: Low averages 47.8 FPS, Medium 40.5, High 33.6, and Ultra 26.9. The scaling pattern remains consistent, but the absolute values fall below what most would consider smooth gameplay. At 3840x2160, the results become marginal: Low produces 28.7 FPS, Medium 21.7, High 18.4, and Ultra 14.3. None of these 4K configurations achieve even 30 FPS, indicating the RX 570 lacks the resources for playable 4K performance in Fivem.

The data shows a consistent relationship between settings presets across resolutions: Ultra is roughly 50% slower than Low at every resolution tested. This uniformity suggests the GPU's architectural limitations manifest proportionally regardless of resolution, pointing to compute and memory bandwidth constraints rather than specific setting bottlenecks.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS decline from 1080p to 4K follows a steep curve. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 74.4 at 1920x1080, to 47.8 at 2560x1440, and finally to 28.7 at 3840x2160. This represents a 36% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 40% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The total loss from 1080p to 4K is approximately 61%, which aligns closely with the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 8.29 million pixels (a 4x increase).

This scaling pattern strongly indicates GPU-bound performance. The CPU's capabilities remain constant across resolutions, yet the FPS drops proportionally with pixel count, suggesting the graphics card's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The RX 570's 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 39.81 GPixel/s pixel rate simply cannot sustain higher resolutions in Fivem's environment. The gap between Low and Ultra settings also widens at higher resolutions — at 1080p the spread is 37.2 FPS, while at 4K it narrows to 14.4 FPS — suggesting that at 4K, even Low settings overwhelm the GPU's resources, making further quality reductions less impactful.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience with this hardware, the 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings offers the highest average FPS at 74.4, providing the smoothest gameplay among all measured configurations. The Medium preset at 1080p still maintains 60.8 FPS, which may be acceptable for players prioritizing visual quality over maximum frame rates. High settings at 1080p drop to 50.5 FPS, while Ultra falls to 37.2, both below the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, only Low settings (47.8 FPS) come close to playable frame rates, while Medium (40.5 FPS) and High (33.6 FPS) require compromises. The 3840x2160 resolution is not viable for this combo, as even Low settings only achieve 28.7 FPS, making all 4K configurations unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The data suggests that players should prioritize 1080p with Low or Medium settings to balance visual fidelity and performance, accepting that higher resolutions will require significant quality reductions or are simply not feasible with this GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 1699 out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the bottom 5% of all systems. This low ranking reflects the GPU's limitations, as the processor's individual performance (78th percentile among CPUs) suggests it is not the primary constraint. The GPU's 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs further indicates that while it is not the weakest component ever tested, its capabilities do not align well with Fivem's specific demands.

The ranking implies that this system is suited for low-resolution, low-settings gaming in Fivem, with the 1080p Low configuration being the only setting that approaches modern gaming standards. The gap between this combo and higher-ranked systems likely stems from the RX 570's 4 GB VRAM and aging GCN architecture, which struggle with the game's streaming and draw-call requirements. The CPU's headroom — evidenced by its near-parity with rivals like the Intel Core i7-11800H (0.2% lower score) — suggests that upgrading the GPU alone could significantly improve Fivem performance, while keeping the Ryzen 5 5600G intact. However, without such upgrades, this combo remains a low-end option for Fivem players who prioritize frame rates over visual quality.
