Fivem

Fivem, the multiplayer modification platform, presents a demanding workload that shifts between CPU and GPU limits depending on resolution and settings. With the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, the data reveals a system that is exceptionally capable at 1080p, strongly competitive at 1440p, and only begins to show strain at 4K with higher presets. The performance profile is defined by a clear scaling pattern: the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, while the CPU’s strong single-thread performance keeps frame rates high at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable and significant drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, indicating that the RTX 3070 is the limiting component at higher pixel counts. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 216.9 FPS at 1080p to 142.5 FPS at 1440p, and then to 77.8 FPS at 4K. This represents a 64% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, a steep decline that highlights the immense pixel throughput required at 3840x2160.

The scaling pattern becomes even more pronounced at higher settings. With Ultra settings, the system delivers 107.1 FPS at 1080p, drops to 71 FPS at 1440p, and then plunges to 40.1 FPS at 4K. The delta between 1080p and 4K at Ultra is a 63% performance loss, similar to the Low setting's percentage drop. However, the absolute numbers reveal that 4K Ultra is only marginally playable, while 1080p Ultra remains smooth. At Medium settings, the progression is 169.8 FPS (1080p) to 111.4 FPS (1440p) to 60.3 FPS (4K), showing a consistent pattern where each resolution step costs roughly 30-40% of the previous frame rate.

This behavior indicates that the RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the sheer pixel count at 4K overwhelms the GPU. The fact that Low settings at 4K (77.8 FPS) outperform Ultra settings at 1440p (71 FPS) by 9.6% suggests that the GPU is more sensitive to resolution than to the preset's graphical complexity. This is characteristic of a game where the render resolution is the dominant cost factor, rather than shader complexity or texture detail.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 achieves a combo rank of 802 out of 1792 tested combinations for Fivem. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all systems, which is a strong result given the CPU's integrated graphics heritage — the 5600G is a Zen 3 part with 6 cores and 12 threads, but its primary design focus includes the Radeon Vega 7 iGPU, which is irrelevant here.

The rank position implies that roughly 55% of tested combos deliver higher average frame rates in Fivem, while 45% deliver lower results. This is a respectable standing, especially considering that the RTX 3070's average benchmark score of 28238 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU's average score of 19983 places it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. The combination of two above-average components yields a system that is not top-tier but is clearly capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at mainstream resolutions.

The data indicates that the bottleneck is not the CPU in most scenarios. The 5600G's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11600H (deltaPct 0.2%), Intel Core i7-11800H (deltaPct -0.2%), and AMD EPYC 7713P (deltaPct -0.2%), showing that the CPU's multi-threaded performance is essentially on par with those parts. In Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance, the 5600G's 3.90 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clocks provide a solid foundation that does not hold back the RTX 3070 at 1080p or 1440p.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is the star of this pairing, and its specifications directly explain the measured results. With a boost clock of 1725 MHz and 5888 shading units, the GPU delivers 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This raw power translates into the high frame rates observed at 1080p, where the GPU is not pixel-bound. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for 1440p but becomes a limiting factor at 4K.

The GPU's memory capacity is a critical detail. At 4K Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 40.1, which suggests that the 8 GB frame buffer is being stressed by the combination of high resolution and high-detail textures. The fact that 4K Low (77.8 FPS) is 94% faster than 4K Ultra (40.1 FPS) indicates that texture streaming and memory allocation are the primary bottlenecks at 4K, not the GPU's compute cores. This is reinforced by the 4K Medium result of 60.3 FPS, which sits between Low and Ultra, showing a linear response to settings that reduce memory pressure.

The RTX 3070's percentile rank of 72 vs all GPUs is modest, but its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (deltaPct 0.9%) and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (deltaPct 1%). This suggests that the 3070 is only marginally faster than those older or lower-tier cards in synthetic benchmarks, yet in Fivem, the measured FPS at 1080p Low (216.9) is exceptionally high, indicating that the game's engine scales well with the 3070's Ampere architecture. The GPU's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are not directly utilized by Fivem, but they do not detract from performance either.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings for this combination depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p displays, the data shows that Ultra settings (107.1 FPS) are perfectly playable and provide the best visual experience without sacrificing smoothness. The 137.9 FPS at High settings offers a 28.7% improvement over Ultra, but the visual difference between High and Ultra is often minimal in Fivem, making High a better choice for 144Hz monitors. At 1080p, Medium (169.8 FPS) and Low (216.9 FPS) are only recommended for competitive play where maximum frame rates matter more than visuals.

For 1440p, the recommendation shifts to High settings, which delivers 90.1 FPS — a smooth experience for most gamers. Ultra at 1440p (71 FPS) is borderline for 60Hz displays but will struggle on 144Hz panels. The Medium preset (111.4 FPS) is an excellent middle ground, offering a 23.6% boost over High while still looking respectable. Low at 1440p (142.5 FPS) is overkill for most users but is the only option that consistently exceeds 140 FPS.

At 4K, the data strongly recommends Low settings, as it is the only preset that achieves a playable average of 77.8 FPS. Medium (60.3 FPS) is acceptable for 60Hz displays, but High (47.5 FPS) and Ultra (40.1 FPS) fall below the 60 FPS threshold and are not recommended for a smooth experience. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K (17.5 FPS) is smaller than the gap between Medium and High (12.8 FPS), suggesting diminishing returns as settings increase.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 216.9 FPS, which is 27.7% higher than Medium (169.8 FPS). High settings reach 137.9 FPS, while Ultra drops to 107.1 FPS — a 50.5% reduction from Low to Ultra. This is the only resolution where all presets exceed 100 FPS, making 1080p the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show a more pronounced settings impact. Low (142.5 FPS) is 28.0% faster than Medium (111.4 FPS), which is 23.6% faster than High (90.1 FPS). Ultra (71 FPS) is 21.2% slower than High, and the total drop from Low to Ultra is 50.2%. The 1440p results are consistently about 65-70% of the 1080p numbers at the same settings, confirming the GPU's scaling with pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles at higher settings. Low (77.8 FPS) is the only preset that clears 60 FPS, with Medium (60.3 FPS) just barely making the cut. High (47.5 FPS) and Ultra (40.1 FPS) are both below playable thresholds for most users. The drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is 48.5%, which is slightly less severe than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is running out of memory bandwidth rather than compute capacity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G's role in Fivem is to provide consistent frame delivery without bottlenecking the RTX 3070. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, the CPU operates at a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boosts to 4.40 GHz. This single-thread performance is critical for Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often relies on a few heavily-threaded processes for game logic and physics.

The CPU's benchmark scores support its capability. In Cinebench R23, the 5600G scores 16758 in multi-core and 2365 in single-core, while in Geekbench it scores 7693 multi-core and 1933 single-core. These numbers place it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 78% of tested processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11600H, is only 0.2% faster in average benchmark score, indicating that the 5600G is a competitive mid-range part.

In Fivem, the CPU's impact is most visible at 1080p with Low settings, where the frame rate of 216.9 FPS is likely near the CPU's limit. At this point, the 5600G's 4.40 GHz boost clock is what keeps the frame rate from climbing higher. However, at 4K with any preset, the GPU becomes the sole bottleneck, and the CPU's performance is largely irrelevant. The 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s provide adequate data transfer for the game's world streaming, but they do not appear to be limiting factors in any measured scenario.
