Fivem

# Fivem with AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + AMD Radeon RX 9060

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers a playable but varied experience in Fivem, with average frame rates ranging from 31 FPS at 4K Ultra to 175 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination sits at rank 1714 out of 3005 tested combos for this game, indicating a mid-pack position. The CPU, a 6-core/12-thread Zen 3 part with a 3.90 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clock, holds its own in lighter settings, while the GPU, based on RDNA 4.0 with 8 GB GDDR6 memory, becomes the decisive factor as resolution and quality demands increase.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a clear scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1080p, the system delivers 175 FPS on Low, 138 FPS on Medium, 111 FPS on High, and 86 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, those figures drop to 115 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium, 73 FPS on High, and 56 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the same settings produce 64 FPS on Low, 50 FPS on Medium, 40 FPS on High, and 31 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction of roughly 34-35% across all settings. For example, High settings drop from 111 FPS at 1080p to 73 FPS at 1440p, a 34% decrease. Low settings fall from 175 FPS to 115 FPS, a 34% reduction. This proportional drop indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary performance limiter as pixel count increases, since the frame rate reduction closely tracks the 2.25x increase in pixel count from 1080p to 1440p.

The jump from 1440p to 4K is even more punishing. High settings go from 73 FPS at 1440p to 40 FPS at 4K, a 45% decrease. Low settings drop from 115 FPS to 64 FPS, a 44% reduction. The 4K resolution contains 2.25x the pixels of 1440p, and the observed frame rate penalties align closely with this ratio, confirming that the RX 9060's rendering throughput is the limiting component at higher resolutions.

The delta between settings widens at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 89 FPS (175 vs 86), while at 4K that gap narrows to 33 FPS (64 vs 31). This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU across all quality tiers, whereas at 4K the GPU is saturated even on Low settings, compressing the performance differences.

FAQ

Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM on the RX 9060 cause issues in Fivem?

A: The measured results do not indicate VRAM-related stuttering or frame drops. The minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings (117 FPS at 1080p, 77 FPS at 1440p, 43 FPS at 4K) are proportional to the average FPS, suggesting no memory capacity bottleneck at these settings.

Q: How does the CPU stack up against its closest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600G's average benchmark score of 21088 is 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i3-1220P (21066), 0.1% lower than the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (21112), 0.2% lower than the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (21133), and 0.4% lower than the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U (21174).

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the decisive component in Fivem's performance envelope, as evidenced by the steep frame rate declines when moving up in resolution. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient across all tested settings, with no anomalous minimum FPS readings that would indicate memory pressure.

The GPU's clock behavior spans a wide range: a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2990 MHz. The 2990 MHz boost ceiling is notably aggressive, and the measured performance at 1080p Low (175 FPS) suggests the GPU is able to sustain high clocks when the workload is light. At 4K Ultra, the 31 FPS result indicates the GPU is heavily loaded and likely running at its sustained game clock rather than peak boost.

The RX 9060's compute resources include 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s. These raw throughput figures explain the GPU's behavior: at 4K, the 31 FPS Ultra result aligns with the GPU's pixel throughput limits, while the 64 FPS Low result at the same resolution shows the GPU can still deliver playable performance when quality effects are reduced.

The GPU's 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 compute places it in a competitive position against its nearest rivals, though the measured Fivem results show that real-world performance is more nuanced than raw compute suggests. The 0.7% deficit to the RTX 3060 Ti in average benchmark score translates to a GPU that is effectively neck-and-neck with that older but well-established card in synthetic tests.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p displays, the data supports using High settings as the sweet spot. The 111 FPS average at High is 25 FPS below the 138 FPS Medium result but provides significantly better visual quality, and the 86 FPS Ultra result is still playable but offers diminishing returns for the 25 FPS penalty over High. Players with 144 Hz or higher refresh monitors may prefer Medium (138 FPS) or even Low (175 FPS) to maximize smoothness.

At 1440p, Medium settings offer the best measured experience. The 91 FPS average with a 77 FPS minimum keeps the frame rate above common 60 FPS thresholds, while High (73 FPS) and Low (115 FPS) represent the trade-off between visual fidelity and responsiveness. Ultra at 56 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it a poor choice for competitive play.

For 4K, no setting achieves a 60 FPS average, so players must accept compromises. Low settings at 64 FPS is the only option above 60 FPS, while Medium (50 FPS), High (40 FPS), and Ultra (31 FPS) all require accepting sub-60 FPS gameplay. The 40 FPS High result may be acceptable for single-player exploration, but the 31 FPS Ultra result will feel sluggish in action sequences.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces its highest frame rates. Low settings average 175 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS with a minimum of 117 FPS and maximum of 159 FPS, High averages 111 FPS, and Ultra averages 86 FPS. The 31 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at this resolution indicates the GPU has ample headroom to render the game at high quality without dropping below playable thresholds.

At 2560x1440, the performance curve shifts downward. Low averages 115 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS, High averages 73 FPS, and Ultra averages 56 FPS. The 59 FPS gap between Low and Ultra widens slightly compared to 1080p, showing that the GPU's workload is becoming more demanding but the CPU is still keeping pace.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low averages 64 FPS, Medium averages 50 FPS with a minimum of 43 FPS and maximum of 58 FPS, High averages 40 FPS, and Ultra averages 31 FPS. The 33 FPS difference between Low and Ultra compresses significantly, indicating that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at this resolution. The Medium setting's minimum FPS of 43 suggests occasional dips that could be noticeable during intense multiplayer moments.

The data also reveals the scaling consistency: Medium settings show the only recorded minimum and maximum FPS values across all resolutions, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 117-159 FPS range shows a 42 FPS spread, while at 1440p Medium the 77-105 FPS range narrows to 28 FPS, and at 4K Medium the 43-58 FPS range tightens to just 15 FPS. This pattern indicates that as the GPU becomes more saturated, frame pacing becomes more consistent.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G's 6 cores and 12 threads provide the computational foundation for Fivem's game logic and multiplayer networking. With a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, the CPU demonstrates strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 1409 Cinebench R23 single-core score and 872 3DMark single-thread score.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are respectable for a 6-core part. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10551 and Geekbench multi-core score of 8428 place it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21088. This places it in a tight cluster with its nearest rivals: 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i3-1220P, 0.1% behind the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, 0.2% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U, and 0.4% behind the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role becomes clearer when examining the frame rate deltas at 1080p. The jump from 86 FPS at Ultra to 175 FPS at Low shows a 89 FPS improvement, which is larger than the 4K delta of 33 FPS between the same settings. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to reach 175 FPS on Low, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as quality settings increase.

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are adequate for Fivem's demands. The 65W TDP and 7 nm process node contribute to efficient operation, and the CPU's passmark scores—including 67344 in integer math and 37830 in floating point math—indicate solid computational throughput for the game's simulation and physics workloads.

The Ryzen 5 5600G's integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are not a factor in these measured results since the discrete RX 9060 handles all rendering duties. The CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface with 16 lanes provides sufficient bandwidth for the GPU, as evidenced by the consistent scaling patterns observed across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 175 FPS result suggests the CPU is nearing its practical limit for this game, as most 6-core processors begin to show diminishing returns at such high frame rates.
