Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 shows clear scaling behavior as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers 297.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 249.8 FPS, a reduction of 47.6 FPS (approximately 16%). At 4K Low, the average falls to 137.7 FPS, which is 159.7 FPS below the 1080p figure. This pattern indicates that the RTX 5090 remains heavily utilized even at lower resolutions, but the frame rate ceiling at 1080p suggests the CPU is beginning to constrain performance.

The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is 47.6 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K at Low is 112.1 FPS. This nonlinear drop is typical of a system where the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count rises. At Ultra settings, the scaling is steeper: 1080p Ultra produces 183.7 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 122.9 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 64.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is less than a quarter of the 1080p Low figure, illustrating how dramatically the render load increases.

The limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p Low, the 297.4 FPS result is close to what a six-core, twelve-thread Ryzen 5 5600X can push in a multiplayer environment like Fivem, where server-side logic and player counts add CPU overhead. The Ryzen 5 5600X has a single-thread benchmark score of 917 in 3dmark and a passmark single-thread score of 3364, which positions it as a capable but not top-tier CPU for high-refresh gaming. At 4K Ultra, the 64.7 FPS result is clearly GPU-bound, as the RTX 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are being pushed hard by the resolution and settings combination.

How This Combo Ranks

In Fivem, this specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 48th out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the top 2.7% of all configurations in the database for this game. The percentile ranking reflects the RTX 5090's position in the GPU hierarchy: it sits at the 94th percentile versus all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600X sits at the 78th percentile versus all CPUs. The combination leverages a top-tier GPU with an upper-mid-range CPU, which in a multiplayer title like Fivem can create a slight imbalance.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT has an average benchmark score of 20740, which is 0.3% higher than the 5600X's 20680 average. The Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20746, also 0.3% higher. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20794, 0.5% higher. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20538, which is 0.7% lower. These deltas are small, meaning the 5600X is well-matched against its direct competitors, and none of these alternatives would meaningfully shift the combo's rank in Fivem.

The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The RTX 5090 D scores 84241, just 0.1% lower. The RTX 5050 Mobile scores 84171, 0.2% lower. The AMD Radeon PRO W6600 scores 83209, 1.3% lower. The NVIDIA CMP 40HX scores 85637, which is 1.6% higher. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, so the 48th rank is driven more by the game's engine and the CPU's multiplayer limitations than by the GPU choice.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB202 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process. It has 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. The boost clock is 2407 MHz, with a base clock of 2017 MHz. Memory runs at 1750 MHz, or 28 Gbps effective, across a 512-bit bus. This configuration yields 32 GB of GDDR7 VRAM and 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is substantial but not always dominant. At 1080p Low, the 297.4 FPS result suggests the GPU has ample headroom, and the CPU is likely the bottleneck. The 5600X's passmark multithread score of 21858 and 3dmark max-thread score of 5588 indicate a processor that can handle moderate thread counts, but Fivem's multiplayer nature often stresses single-thread performance. The 5600X's 3dmark single-thread score of 917 and cinebench r23 single-core score of 2622 are respectable but not class-leading.

At higher settings, the GPU's VRAM and bandwidth become more relevant. At 4K Ultra, the 64.7 FPS result shows the RTX 5090 is working hard, but the frame rate is still relatively low for such a powerful card. This suggests that Fivem's engine has inefficiencies that even a 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 GPU cannot overcome. The GPU's passmark g3d score of 39650 and 3dmark steel nomad score of 14411 confirm it is a top-tier part, but the game's optimization limits its real-world impact.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the settings sweep shows a clear progression. Low settings produce 297.4 FPS, Medium produces 272.3 FPS, High produces 239.9 FPS, and Ultra produces 183.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 113.7 FPS, meaning Ultra is 38.2% slower than Low. The step from Medium to High costs 32.4 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 56.2 FPS. This indicates that the Ultra preset adds significant visual effects that disproportionately impact performance.

At 2560x1440, the results are 249.8 FPS on Low, 196.9 FPS on Medium, 155.7 FPS on High, and 122.9 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 126.9 FPS, a 50.8% reduction. The step from Medium to High costs 41.2 FPS, and from High to Ultra costs 32.8 FPS. Compared to 1080p, the Medium setting loses 75.4 FPS, and the Ultra setting loses 60.8 FPS, showing that resolution scaling is more punishing at higher settings.

At 3840x2160, the results are 137.7 FPS on Low, 111.6 FPS on Medium, 88.6 FPS on High, and 64.7 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 73.0 FPS, a 53.0% reduction. The step from Medium to High costs 23.0 FPS, and from High to Ultra costs 23.9 FPS. At 4K, every settings tier costs roughly 20-25 FPS, which is a consistent pattern. The 4K Low result of 137.7 FPS is still above 60 FPS, but the 4K Ultra result of 64.7 FPS is barely playable for competitive multiplayer.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings depend on the target refresh rate. For 1080p displays, the High preset at 239.9 FPS offers a strong balance, as it is 55.5 FPS faster than Ultra while still providing most visual quality. The Medium preset at 272.3 FPS is a viable alternative for players with 240 Hz displays, but the visual difference between Medium and High is usually worth the 32.4 FPS cost.

For 1440p, the High preset at 155.7 FPS is the best choice for high-refresh monitors, as it stays above 144 FPS. The Medium preset at 196.9 FPS is better for 240 Hz panels, but the drop to High costs 41.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 122.9 FPS is playable but leaves performance on the table for a multiplayer title where frame timing matters.

For 4K, the Low preset at 137.7 FPS provides the smoothest experience, but the Medium preset at 111.6 FPS is a reasonable compromise for visual quality. The High preset at 88.6 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the Ultra preset at 64.7 FPS should be avoided for competitive play. The data shows that Fivem's Ultra settings are disproportionately expensive at 4K, costing 73.0 FPS compared to Low.
