Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT presents a striking imbalance in Fivem. The data shows a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 processor from the Cezanne generation anchoring a top-tier RDNA 3.0 graphics card with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory. This combination yields playable frame rates across all tested settings, but the scaling patterns reveal exactly where the bottleneck lies.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent, indicating that the graphics card is doing the heavy lifting at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the measured average FPS falls from 277.3 at 1920x1080 to 186 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 91.3 FPS. Moving to 3840x2160, the average drops further to 104.4 FPS. This represents a 62.4% decrease from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, a clear sign that the RX 7900 XT is being pushed hard by the pixel count.

The scaling is more moderate at higher quality presets. With High settings, the average FPS goes from 178.1 at 1080p to 115.8 at 1440p, then to 62 at 4K. The 4K result is just over a third of the 1080p figure. At Ultra settings, the trend continues: 139.8 FPS at 1080p, 88.7 at 1440p, and 52.3 at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K at Ultra is 36.4 FPS, which is larger than the 51.1 FPS gap seen at Low settings between the same resolutions.

These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the CPU is likely limiting performance, especially at lower settings where the GPU has headroom. The 5600G’s 3.90 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock, combined with 16 MB of L3 cache, provide solid single-thread performance for a multiplayer game, but the data indicates that the RX 7900 XT is not fully utilized at 1920x1080 Low. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, as evidenced by the dramatic FPS drops. The 4K Ultra result of 52.3 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K High at 62 FPS just clears it.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing ranks 375th out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places it in the top 21% of all tested configurations, which is a strong showing given the CPU’s mid-range positioning. The CPU itself sits at the 78th percentile against all processors, while the GPU is at the 82nd percentile against all graphics cards. The combination’s rank is slightly lower than either component’s individual percentile, which suggests that the CPU is holding the GPU back in this particular game.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks provide context. The Ryzen 5 5600G scores 19983 on average, which is 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11600H and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX. It trails the Intel Core i7-11800H and AMD EPYC 7713P by 0.2%. These are marginal differences, within noise, but they show that the 5600G is competitive with mobile and enterprise parts in raw throughput. The GPU’s nearest rivals are equally close: the RX 7900 XT’s average score of 38358 is exactly level with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile, 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA CMP 70HX, and 0.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile. It trails the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 by 0.4%, though that comparison is likely an anomaly in the dataset.

The combo rank of 375 out of 1792 implies that many other pairings, likely those with stronger CPUs, achieve higher FPS in Fivem. This is a multiplayer title where CPU performance matters for physics and entity simulation, and the 5600G’s Zen 3 architecture, while capable, is not top-tier. The data shows that the GPU is the star of this pairing, but the CPU prevents it from reaching its full potential at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7900 XT is a formidable piece of hardware, built on the 5 nm process with 57,700 million transistors. Its 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus delivers 800.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Fivem’s textures and draw distances. The memory clock is listed at 2500 MHz, with an effective speed of 20 Gbps. The GPU’s base clock is 1387 MHz, with a game clock of 2025 MHz and a boost clock of 2394 MHz.

These clocks are relevant to the measured FPS. The boost clock of 2394 MHz is the maximum the card can achieve, and the data suggests it is being exercised heavily at 4K. At 1080p Low, the card is likely running well below its boost clock because the CPU cannot feed it enough frames. The 277.3 FPS average at 1080p Low is high, but it is not the ceiling for this GPU, which can push much further in less CPU-bound titles.

The GPU’s compute capabilities are substantial: 51.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 103.0 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1). The 84 ray tracing cores and 192 ROPs are also present, though Fivem is not a ray tracing showcase. The card’s 82nd percentile against all GPUs confirms its position as a high-end part. The nearest rival scores show that the RX 7900 XT is essentially tied with the RTX 5080 Mobile in synthetic tests, which reflects its raw power.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the 52.3 FPS average shows the card is working hard, but it falls short of the 60 FPS target. The 4K Low result of 104.4 FPS shows that the card has plenty of headroom if settings are reduced. The VRAM capacity of 20 GB is not a limiting factor in any of the tested configurations; the game does not appear to exceed this allocation even at 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 178.1 FPS, which is more than enough for a smooth multiplayer experience. The Medium preset at 220.1 FPS and Low at 277.3 FPS offer higher frame rates, but the visual quality trade-off is likely not worth it for most players. The Ultra preset at 139.8 FPS is still excellent and provides the best visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 115.8 FPS is the sweet spot. It maintains a high refresh rate experience while offering good visual quality. The Medium preset at 145.8 FPS is also viable for competitive play, while Ultra at 88.7 FPS is borderline for high-refresh monitors. The Low preset at 186 FPS is overkill and sacrifices too much visual detail for a game that is often played for its open-world immersion.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. The High preset at 62 FPS is the only one that hits the 60 FPS target, and it does so narrowly. The Medium preset at 77.6 FPS provides a small buffer above 60 FPS and is the recommended choice for 4K. The Low preset at 104.4 FPS is surprisingly high and could be used by players who prioritize frame rate over visuals. The Ultra preset at 52.3 FPS is the only sub-60 FPS result in the entire dataset, and it should be avoided unless a VRR display is used.

Overall, the High preset offers the best balance across all resolutions. At 1080p and 1440p, it provides well over 100 FPS, and at 4K it just manages 60 FPS. Players with 144 Hz monitors at 1440p should consider Medium for the extra headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full dataset of measured FPS is presented below, organized by resolution and settings.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 277.3 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 220.1 FPS, a reduction of 57.2 FPS. The High preset comes in at 178.1 FPS, which is 42 FPS below Medium. The Ultra preset is the slowest at 139.8 FPS, a further drop of 38.3 FPS. The total spread from Low to Ultra is 137.5 FPS at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 186 FPS. The Medium preset is at 145.8 FPS, a 40.2 FPS decrease. The High preset follows at 115.8 FPS, which is 30 FPS below Medium. The Ultra preset is at 88.7 FPS, a reduction of 27.1 FPS from High. The total spread at 1440p is 97.3 FPS, narrower than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 104.4 FPS. The Medium preset is at 77.6 FPS, a 26.8 FPS drop. The High preset is at 62 FPS, which is 15.6 FPS below Medium. The Ultra preset is at 52.3 FPS, a 9.7 FPS reduction from High. The total spread at 4K is 52.1 FPS, the smallest of all resolutions.

The per-setting comparison across resolutions shows the following: Low settings lose 91.3 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, then 81.6 FPS from 1440p to 4K. Medium settings lose 74.3 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, then 68.2 FPS from 1440p to 4K. High settings lose 62.3 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, then 53.8 FPS from 1440p to 4K. Ultra settings lose 51.1 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, then 36.4 FPS from 1440p to 4K.

These numbers confirm that the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K, while the CPU becomes more limiting at 1080p. The diminishing returns of lowering settings at 4K are evident: the difference between High and Ultra at 4K is only 9.7 FPS, while at 1080p it is 38.3 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is saturated at 4K, and visual quality settings have less impact on performance than at lower resolutions. The data supports the conclusion that this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it delivers high frame rates across all settings without the CPU limitation seen at 1080p or the GPU strain seen at 4K.
