Fivem

# Fivem with AMD Ryzen 5 5600X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces a highly capable Fivem configuration, ranking 65th out of 3005 tested combos. The data shows a system that delivers exceptionally high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, with performance scaling predictably as resolution increases. At 4K, the combination still maintains playable averages across all settings, though the Ultra preset drops significantly, suggesting a shift in bottleneck behavior at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, supported by a 32 MB L3 cache. This processor sits in the 75th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 21771. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (0.1% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U (0.5% behind), and the Intel Core i7-11700 (0.5% behind), placing it in a tightly contested mid-range performance bracket.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is evident when examining the frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 296 FPS average, while at 4K Low it drops to 147 FPS. This 149 FPS decline across a 4x pixel increase indicates that the CPU is not the primary limiting factor at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 5 5600X's single-thread performance, measured at 917 in 3dmark_single_thread and 1541 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, is sufficient to feed the GPU at high frame rates in this multiplayer title.

The processor's 12 threads and multi-core capabilities, reflected in a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 11838, help maintain stable frame delivery when multiple players and entities are active in Fivem's open-world environment. However, the data suggests that the CPU's influence wanes as resolution increases and GPU load becomes more dominant. The 4K Ultra result of 72 FPS, compared to 1080p Ultra at 197 FPS, shows a 125 FPS drop that aligns more closely with GPU-bound scaling than CPU limitation.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a formidable graphics card featuring 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock reaches 2407 MHz, and it contains 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. The card ranks in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77712. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (1.1% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.6% behind), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (2.1% behind), though the RTX 5090 D's massive memory capacity and bandwidth set it apart in gaming workloads.

Fivem's measured performance heavily reflects the GPU's capabilities. At 4K Medium, the card produces 116 FPS average with a minimum of 99 FPS and maximum of 133 FPS, demonstrating consistent frame delivery under moderate load. The 32 GB VRAM is far beyond what Fivem requires at any resolution, ensuring no memory-related stutters or texture pop-in. The GPU's texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s enable high-fill-rate scenarios typical of densely populated multiplayer areas.

The RTX 5090 D's raw compute power, rated at 104.8 TFLOPS FP32, becomes the dominant factor at 4K resolution. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at each setting level shows the GPU's workload increasing proportionally with pixel count, while the CPU remains relatively underutilized. This is particularly evident at Low settings, where the 4K result of 147 FPS is still 50 FPS higher than the 4K Ultra result, indicating that even at lower graphical loads, the GPU maintains high throughput.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as pixel count increases. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 251 FPS at 1080p to 167 FPS at 1440p, then to 93 FPS at 4K. This represents a 33.5% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a 44.3% decrease from 1440p to 4K. The proportional drops align closely with the pixel count increases (1.78x from 1080p to 1440p, 2.25x from 1440p to 4K), confirming that the RTX 5090 D is the primary scaling factor.

Low settings show the largest absolute drop, from 296 FPS at 1080p to 258 FPS at 1440p to 147 FPS at 4K. The 111 FPS difference between 1440p and 4K is notably larger than the 38 FPS difference between 1080p and 1440p, suggesting that at lower graphical loads, the CPU begins to impose a ceiling around 258 FPS at 1440p, which the GPU then overcomes at 4K where it becomes fully loaded. This indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600X can sustain roughly 250-300 FPS in Fivem before becoming a limiting factor.

Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic scaling, with 197 FPS at 1080p dropping to 130 FPS at 1440p and 72 FPS at 4K. The 58 FPS difference between 1440p and 4K Ultra is smaller than the 67 FPS difference between 1080p and 1440p, showing that the GPU's workload increases more proportionally at higher settings. The 4K Ultra result of 72 FPS is the only sub-90 FPS average in the entire dataset, highlighting that Ultra settings at 4K push even this high-end GPU to its limits.

FAQ

Q: Does the GPU's 32 GB VRAM affect Fivem performance?

A: The measured data shows no VRAM-related performance issues at any resolution or setting. The 32 GB GDDR7 memory with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth exceeds Fivem's requirements, and frame rates remain consistent without evidence of memory bottlenecks.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, Medium settings provide the best experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium achieves 272 FPS average with a minimum of 231 FPS, nearly matching Low's 296 FPS while offering improved visual quality. At 1440p, Medium delivers 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS, comfortably above high-refresh-rate display capabilities. At 4K, Medium maintains 116 FPS with a minimum of 99 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay without dipping below 100 FPS.

High settings are a viable alternative for users prioritizing visual fidelity, particularly at 1080p (251 FPS) and 1440p (167 FPS). However, at 4K, High drops to 93 FPS, which is still playable but less fluid than Medium. Ultra settings are not recommended at any resolution, as the data shows significant performance penalties: 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p, and only 72 FPS at 4K. The 72 FPS average at 4K Ultra approaches the minimum playable threshold for fast-paced multiplayer.

Low settings offer the highest frame rates but sacrifice visual quality unnecessarily, given that Medium provides substantial visual improvements with only modest FPS reductions. The data indicates that Medium at 4K (116 FPS) outperforms Ultra at 1440p (130 FPS) in terms of FPS-per-pixel efficiency, making Medium the clear choice for most users. For competitive play at 1080p, Low settings at 296 FPS provide the maximum frame rate advantage, but the 24 FPS difference between Low and Medium is unlikely to be perceptible in practice.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings achieve 296 FPS average, Medium reaches 272 FPS with a minimum of 231 FPS and maximum of 313 FPS, High produces 251 FPS, and Ultra yields 197 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 99 FPS, with each step up in settings costing between 21 and 54 FPS.

At 2560x1440 resolution, performance remains strong but shows expected scaling. Low settings produce 258 FPS average, Medium achieves 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS and maximum of 240 FPS, High delivers 167 FPS, and Ultra drops to 130 FPS. The 128 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1440p is larger than at 1080p, reflecting the increased GPU workload.

At 3840x2160 resolution, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. Low settings reach 147 FPS average, Medium achieves 116 FPS with a minimum of 99 FPS and maximum of 133 FPS, High produces 93 FPS, and Ultra falls to 72 FPS. The 75 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is the smallest of any resolution, indicating that even the RTX 5090 D struggles to maintain high frame rates at maximum settings in this resolution.

The Medium settings rows are the only ones with complete min/max data, showing consistent frame delivery: at 1080p, the range is 231-313 FPS (82 FPS spread); at 1440p, the range is 178-240 FPS (62 FPS spread); and at 4K, the range is 99-133 FPS (34 FPS spread). This narrowing range at higher resolutions further confirms the GPU-bound nature of 4K gameplay, where frame pacing becomes more consistent as the CPU bottleneck diminishes.
