Fivem

The pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D presents a striking imbalance in Fivem, a multiplayer title where the data reveals a clear and consistent bottleneck. Across all tested resolutions and settings, the measured frame rates are far lower than what the RTX 5090 D’s raw compute capabilities would suggest, indicating that the six-core Ryzen 5 5600G is the primary limiting factor. This analysis examines the measured FPS data to quantify the performance ceiling imposed by the CPU and to provide a clear picture of what users can expect from this specific configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows that Fivem’s performance with this combo scales inversely with resolution, but the rate of change is modest, pointing directly to a CPU-bound scenario. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 280 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops the average to 244 FPS, a reduction of approximately 13%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 147 FPS, representing a 40% decrease from the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern is unusual for a GPU as powerful as the RTX 5090 D; in a GPU-bound title, the drop from 1080p to 4K would typically be far more severe, often exceeding 50% or more.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is almost certainly the limiting factor, as the frame rate is capped at a level far below the GPU’s potential. The fact that 4K Low (147 FPS) is still higher than 1080p Ultra (197 FPS) in absolute terms, but the delta between resolutions is relatively small, suggests that the CPU is holding back performance at all settings. The GPU’s immense pixel throughput—evidenced by its 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance—is not being fully utilized. Instead, the game engine’s reliance on the CPU for game logic and draw calls in a multiplayer environment creates a hard ceiling. The 4K High result of 93 FPS versus the 1080p High result of 237 FPS shows a 61% drop, which is more pronounced, but the absolute numbers are still low for a GPU of this class, reinforcing that the CPU is the primary constraint even at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a data center-oriented variant of the flagship Blackwell architecture, featuring 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, yielding a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Its core specifications are staggering: 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. The boost clock is rated at 2407 MHz. In Fivem, this hardware is largely underutilized. The 32 GB VRAM allocation is far beyond what any current game requires, including Fivem, which is not known for being VRAM-intensive at the tested settings. The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s is also irrelevant to the performance bottleneck observed here.

The benchmark results for the RTX 5090 D show it ranks in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712. Its nearest rivals in terms of average score, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, deltaPct -1.6%), are far less powerful on paper. Yet, in Fivem, the measured FPS at 4K Ultra is just 72 FPS. This is a clear indicator that the GPU is not the limiting component. The GPU’s role in this configuration is to render frames that the CPU can feed it; the data shows that the Ryzen 5 5600G can only supply a limited number of frames per second, regardless of the graphical load. The GPU’s high clock speeds and massive compute resources are effectively idling, waiting for the CPU to catch up. This is a classic case of a high-end GPU being paired with a mid-range CPU, resulting in a severe performance mismatch.

FAQ

Q: Why is the 4K Ultra FPS (72 FPS) so low compared to the GPU's capabilities?

A: The measured data indicates that the CPU is the limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 5600G’s 6-core/12-thread configuration is insufficient to drive the RTX 5090 D to its full potential in Fivem’s multiplayer environment, capping performance well below what the GPU’s 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute would allow.

Q: Is there a significant difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: Yes, the data shows a 280 FPS average at Low settings versus a 197 FPS average at Ultra settings at 1920x1080. This 42% difference demonstrates that the GPU is doing more work at higher settings, but the absolute frame rates are still limited by the CPU.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 101st out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 3.4% of all tested configurations, which is impressive on paper but is largely attributable to the GPU’s raw power rather than the CPU’s contribution.

Q: Which resolution provides the best balance of performance and visual quality?

A: Based on the measured data, 2560x1440 with Medium settings appears to be a sweet spot, yielding an average of 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS. This provides a high refresh rate experience while still maintaining visual fidelity above Low settings.

Q: Does the GPU's 32 GB of VRAM make a difference in Fivem?

A: The benchmark data does not suggest that VRAM capacity is a factor. The performance differences between settings are more likely due to shader complexity and draw calls, not memory allocation. The 32 GB capacity is excessive for this title, as the frame rates are not limited by memory bandwidth or capacity.

Q: What is the main takeaway from the performance numbers?

A: The primary takeaway is that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a severe bottleneck for the RTX 5090 D in Fivem. Even at 4K, the CPU limits performance to 147 FPS on Low settings, indicating that upgrading the CPU would yield significant performance gains.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field places this specific configuration at rank 101 out of 3,005 tested combos. This places it in the top 3.4% of all tested combinations, which seems like a strong result. However, this ranking is heavily skewed by the presence of the RTX 5090 D. The GPU itself ranks in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 77,712 is significantly higher than its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, deltaPct -1.6%) and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, deltaPct -2.4%).

The high combo rank reflects the GPU’s sheer power, but the measured FPS data reveals that the CPU is holding the combo back from achieving its true potential. In a game like Fivem, which is CPU-intensive in multiplayer scenarios, the Ryzen 5 5600G’s average benchmark score of 21,088 places it in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, with its nearest rival being the Intel Core i3-1220P (21,066, deltaPct 0.1%). This puts the CPU in the mid-range tier, and it is simply not powerful enough to feed the RTX 5090 D. The rank of 101 suggests that there are 100 other combos that perform better, many of which likely feature more powerful CPUs. The data strongly suggests that this combo is underperforming relative to what the GPU alone could achieve with a stronger CPU.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combination depend on the user’s target frame rate and resolution. At 1920x1080, all settings provide playable frame rates, but the CPU bottleneck is most evident. Low settings yield 280 FPS, Medium yields 257 FPS (min 219, max 296), High yields 237 FPS, and Ultra yields 197 FPS. For competitive play on a high refresh rate monitor, Low settings provide the highest frame rates, but the difference between Low and High is only 43 FPS, which is relatively small. Medium settings offer a good balance, with a minimum of 219 FPS ensuring smooth performance.

At 2560x1440, the data shows a similar pattern. Low settings provide 244 FPS, Medium provides 209 FPS (min 178, max 240), High provides 167 FPS, and Ultra drops to 130 FPS. For a 144Hz monitor, Medium or High settings are the best choice, as they provide frame rates above the refresh rate threshold. Ultra settings are still playable but may cause dips below 144 FPS in demanding scenarios. At 3840x2160, the CPU bottleneck becomes more pronounced. Low settings provide 147 FPS, Medium provides 116 FPS (min 99, max 133), High provides 93 FPS, and Ultra drops to 72 FPS. For 4K gaming, Medium settings are recommended to stay above the 100 FPS mark, while High settings are acceptable for a 60-90 FPS experience. Ultra settings should be avoided unless the user prioritizes visual fidelity over frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table summarizes the exact measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK, with minimum and maximum values where available.

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 257 | 219 | 296 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 237 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 197 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 244 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 209 | 178 | 240 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 167 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 130 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 147 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 116 | 99 | 133 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 93 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 72 | - | - |

The data shows a consistent trend: the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference is 83 FPS (280 vs 197), at 1440p it is 114 FPS (244 vs 130), and at 4K it is 75 FPS (147 vs 72). This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU is more heavily taxed by the higher frame rates, while at 4K, the GPU is finally starting to become a more significant factor, though the CPU still limits overall performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne). It has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with 16 MB of L3 cache. Its TDP is 65W. In terms of synthetic benchmarks, it scores 10,551 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1,409 in single-core. Its average benchmark score is 21,088, ranking it in the 74th percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rivals in terms of average score include the Intel Core i3-1220P (21,066, deltaPct 0.1%) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (21,112, deltaPct -0.1%), which shows it is clustered with other mid-range mobile and low-power desktop parts.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is critical. The game’s multiplayer nature means that the CPU must handle network traffic, player positions, and game logic, which are largely single-threaded or lightly-threaded tasks. The Ryzen 5 5600G’s single-thread performance, as indicated by its Geekbench single-core score of 1,801, is adequate but not exceptional. The measured FPS data shows that this CPU is the bottleneck, as the frame rates do not scale with the GPU’s massive compute resources. For instance, the RTX 5090 D has a passmark G3D score of 44,065, but the combo’s 4K Ultra FPS is just 72. If the CPU were not the limiting factor, the 4K Ultra FPS would be expected to be much higher, given the GPU’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The data clearly indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600G’s 6 cores and 12 threads are insufficient to feed the RTX 5090 D in Fivem, resulting in a performance ceiling that prevents the GPU from being fully utilized. Upgrading to a CPU with higher single-thread performance and more cores would likely yield substantial FPS gains in this title.
