Fivem

This analysis examines the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 in Fivem. The data provided includes FPS measurements across three resolutions and four quality presets, offering a clear picture of how this combination scales and where its strengths and limitations lie.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear progression as resolution increases, with the most significant performance drop occurring between 1440p and 4K. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers 295 FPS, which is an exceptionally high frame rate that suggests the CPU or game engine is the primary limiter, as the GPU is not being fully taxed. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 219 FPS, a reduction of approximately 26%, but still far above what most displays can show. At 4K Low, the average falls to 122 FPS, which is another 44% reduction from the 1440p figure.

This scaling pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the Ryzen 5 5600GT becomes the bottleneck, preventing the RTX 4080 from reaching its full potential. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with its 3.60 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clock, are capable but not top-tier for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p. The data supports this: the jump from 1080p Low (295 FPS) to 1440p Low (219 FPS) is a 76 FPS drop, while the jump from 1440p Low to 4K Low (122 FPS) is a 97 FPS drop. The latter is larger because the GPU begins to take on more of the workload at higher pixel counts.

Looking at High settings, the pattern shifts slightly. At 1080p High, the average is 210 FPS, dropping to 138 FPS at 1440p High, and then to 77 FPS at 4K High. The 4K High result is particularly telling—it is only 63% of the 1440p High score, showing that the RTX 4080 is now heavily engaged. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the rendering load at that resolution with High settings starts to challenge the card, which sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs.

The limiting component analysis is straightforward. At 1080p, the CPU is clearly the constraint—the GPU is idle much of the time, as evidenced by the relatively small FPS differences between Low and High settings at that resolution (295 vs 210 FPS). At 1440p, the balance shifts, and at 4K, the RTX 4080 becomes the primary driver, with the CPU still contributing but no longer holding the system back. This is typical for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU; the RTX 4080, with its 9728 shading units and 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance, needs high resolutions to stretch its legs.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. These specs place it firmly in the mid-range category, and its benchmark scores confirm this: it ranks at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, with a Passmark multi-thread score of 20325 and a single-thread score of 3348.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most pronounced at 1080p, where the measured FPS values are exceptionally high. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 295 FPS, which is a CPU-bound scenario. The game's engine, which is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance, benefits from the 5600GT's 4.60 GHz boost clock. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438 is respectable, and the Geekbench single-core score of 1843 supports the idea that this chip handles lightly-threaded workloads well.

However, the data also reveals the CPU's limits. The 3dmark single-thread score is 913, and the passmark single-thread score is 3348, both of which are mid-pack numbers. When comparing to its nearest rivals, the 5600GT's average benchmark score of 20733 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-12490F (20802, deltaPct -0.3%), indicating that these two chips are performance peers. This means that in CPU-bound scenarios, such as Fivem at 1080p, the 5600GT will not outperform a similarly priced Intel offering by any meaningful margin.

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are adequate for gaming, but they are not exceptional. The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are present but irrelevant in this configuration, as the discrete RTX 4080 handles all rendering. The 5600GT's PCIe Gen 3 interface is a potential limitation, as the RTX 4080 supports PCIe 4.0, but the practical impact on FPS is minimal in most games, and the data does not show any anomalies that would suggest a bandwidth bottleneck.

At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes as the GPU takes over. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 60, which aligns with the GPU being the limiting factor. The RTX 4080's 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores are not heavily utilized in Fivem, which is not a ray-tracing-heavy title, so the CPU's raw integer and floating-point performance (Passmark integer math: 69566, floating-point math: 39817) becomes more relevant. These scores indicate solid general-purpose compute, which helps with game logic and physics in a multiplayer environment.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 313 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 8.4% of all configurations tested, which is a strong showing given the CPU's mid-range positioning. The rank is heavily influenced by the GPU's high-end performance, as the RTX 4080 sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 54247.

The ranking suggests that this combo outperforms the vast majority of systems, but it is not at the very top. The top 300 or so combos likely feature higher-end CPUs, such as the Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 series, or Intel Core i7/i9 parts, which would provide better 1080p performance. The 5600GT's 74th percentile CPU ranking is the weak link here; if it were replaced with a chip at the 90th percentile, the combo rank would likely improve significantly.

When examining the GPU's nearest rivals, the RTX 4080 is effectively tied with the RTX 4080 SUPER (deltaPct 0.1%), which means the combo rank would be nearly identical if a SUPER were used. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X and RX 6750 GRE 12 GB are 1.1% and 2.6% ahead in average score, respectively, but those are workstation and mid-range cards, respectively, not direct competitors in this tier.

The combo rank of 313 also implies that there is headroom for improvement. With a stronger CPU, the same GPU could achieve a higher rank, particularly in CPU-bound scenarios like Fivem at 1080p. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 295 FPS, but a more powerful CPU could potentially push that closer to the 300+ FPS mark, improving the overall rank.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. The following is a detailed breakdown:

1920x1080:

• Low: 295 FPS average
• Medium: 263 FPS average (min 223, max 302)
• High: 210 FPS average
• Ultra: 163 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 219 FPS average
• Medium: 173 FPS average (min 147, max 199)
• High: 138 FPS average
• Ultra: 107 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low: 122 FPS average
• Medium: 96 FPS average (min 82, max 110)
• High: 77 FPS average
• Ultra: 60 FPS average

At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 132 FPS (295 to 163), which is the largest absolute difference across all resolutions. This indicates that the CPU is the primary limiter at this resolution, as the GPU can easily handle the rendering load even at Ultra settings. The Medium preset's minimum FPS of 223 is still higher than the Ultra average, showing that even demanding settings do not cause severe frame drops at 1080p.

At 1440p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 112 FPS (219 to 107). The Medium preset shows a minimum of 147 FPS, which is above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many monitors support. This makes 1440p Medium a good target for high-refresh-rate gaming, as the average of 173 FPS provides a comfortable margin above 144 FPS.

At 4K, the spread from Low to Ultra is 62 FPS (122 to 60). The Ultra preset's 60 FPS average is exactly at the standard 60 Hz refresh rate threshold, but it lacks any minimum FPS data, which means there could be dips below 60. The Medium preset, with a minimum of 82 FPS and an average of 96 FPS, is a safer choice for 4K, providing a consistent experience without risking frame drops.

The Medium preset at each resolution offers the most balanced performance, with the 4K Medium result (96 FPS) being particularly impressive for a 4K resolution. The Low preset at 4K (122 FPS) is also viable for those prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the user's display and performance priorities.

For 1080p displays, the High preset (210 FPS average) is the best recommendation. It offers a substantial visual improvement over Low without sacrificing the high frame rate that competitive multiplayer games benefit from. The Ultra preset (163 FPS) is also viable, but the 47 FPS drop from High to Ultra is not justified for most players, as the visual difference is often subtle in Fivem. The Medium preset (263 FPS) is overkill for most 1080p monitors, which typically max out at 144 Hz or 240 Hz, so the extra frames are wasted.

For 1440p displays, the Medium preset (173 FPS average, 147 FPS minimum) is the clear winner. It exceeds the 144 Hz refresh rate threshold and provides a smooth experience. The High preset (138 FPS) is also good, but it falls short of 144 Hz, which may cause screen tearing on high-refresh monitors without V-Sync. The Ultra preset (107 FPS) is playable but not ideal for fast-paced gameplay, as the 107 FPS average is below the 120 FPS that many competitive players prefer.

For 4K displays, the Medium preset (96 FPS average, 82 FPS minimum) is the recommended choice. It provides a smooth experience above 60 FPS and maintains acceptable minimums. The Low preset (122 FPS) is an option for those who prioritize frame rate, but the visual quality reduction is significant. The High preset (77 FPS) is borderline, as it is above 60 but may dip in heavy scenes. The Ultra preset (60 FPS) should be avoided unless the user has a 60 Hz display and is willing to accept potential frame drops, as the lack of minimum FPS data suggests there could be stutters.

In summary, the data suggests that Medium settings offer the best balance of visual quality and performance at all resolutions, with 1440p Medium (173 FPS) being the standout choice for high-refresh-rate gaming and 4K Medium (96 FPS) being the best option for 4K users. The High preset is a solid alternative at 1080p (210 FPS) for those who want better visuals without a major FPS hit.
