Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile that is heavily influenced by server-side scripts, player count, and the underlying game engine. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination provides a clear picture of how this hardware handles the game's demands across different resolutions and presets. The results indicate a system with substantial headroom at lower resolutions, but one that becomes increasingly constrained by the graphics card as pixel count rises.

Resolution Scaling

The performance trajectory from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is steep and revealing. At 1080p with Low settings, the combination achieves an average of 189 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU and GPU are working efficiently, with neither component creating a significant bottleneck at this lower resolution. Moving to 2560x1440 on the same Low preset, the average FPS drops to 124, a reduction of 65 FPS or approximately 34%. This is a substantial decrease, signaling that the GPU is beginning to take on a heavier workload.

The scaling becomes more dramatic when jumping to 4K. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average FPS falls to 69. This represents a 44% drop from the 1440p result and a 63% drop from the 1080p result. This pattern demonstrates that Fivem is highly sensitive to resolution changes, particularly as the pixel count demands more from the graphics card's fill rate and memory bandwidth. The RTX 4060, with its 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, starts to show its limitations at 4K, where the sheer volume of pixels to process becomes a significant hurdle.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the system is likely balanced or slightly CPU-limited in certain scenarios, given the high frame rates. However, as resolution increases, the limiting component shifts decisively to the GPU. The difference between the 1080p Low (189 FPS) and 4K Low (69 FPS) is a stark 120 FPS gap, illustrating how quickly the GPU becomes the primary constraint. For users seeking high refresh-rate gaming at 4K, this combination would struggle to maintain fluid gameplay, while at 1080p and 1440p, it offers a much more comfortable experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the central figure in determining Fivem's visual fidelity and frame rate at higher resolutions. Its specifications, including 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but become a limiting factor at 4K. The GPU's boost clock of 2460 MHz and 3072 shading units provide the raw compute power necessary for the game's complex scenes, but the memory subsystem's 272.0 GB/s bandwidth is a critical constraint when pushing 4K pixel counts.

In Fivem, the game's open-world environments and dense urban areas can be demanding on VRAM. The 8 GB capacity is generally sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at most settings, but at 4K with High or Ultra presets, the memory may become a bottleneck, potentially leading to texture pop-in or reduced performance. The measured FPS data supports this: at 4K, the difference between Low (69 FPS) and Ultra (34 FPS) is a considerable 35 FPS, showing that the GPU's processing capabilities and memory bandwidth are strained by the higher visual loads.

The RTX 4060's architecture, based on Ada Lovelace, is efficient, but its position in the market is reflected in its 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 17639 places it close to integrated graphics like the AMD Radeon 780M, which has a deltaPct of 0.3. This indicates that while the RTX 4060 is a discrete solution, its performance is not dramatically different from top-tier integrated graphics in general compute tasks, though its dedicated memory and drivers likely provide a more consistent gaming experience. For Fivem specifically, the GPU's role is to manage the rendering load, and the data shows it excels at 1080p, performs well at 1440p, and is the primary reason for sub-60 FPS at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600, a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, serves as the foundation for this system. Its boost clock of 5.10 GHz and 32 MB of shared L3 cache are well-suited for gaming workloads. In Fivem, which can be sensitive to single-threaded performance due to the game engine's legacy, the Ryzen 5 7600's strong single-core capabilities are an asset. Its 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and Geekbench single-core score of 2521 indicate robust per-core performance.

The CPU's role in Fivem becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the 189 FPS average suggests the CPU is capable of processing the game's logic, physics, and draw calls at a high rate. However, the game's multiplayer nature means that server-side scripts and the actions of other players can add CPU overhead. The Ryzen 5 7600, with its 12 threads, provides enough parallelism to handle these tasks, but it may not be as future-proof as CPUs with more cores.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7600's average benchmark score of 26324 places it in a competitive position. It is 0.2% faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX and 0.4% faster than the Intel Core i9-11900KF, but 0.3% slower than the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS. This indicates that its multi-threaded performance is on par with these other options. For Fivem, the CPU's performance is sufficient to avoid being a limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the data shows the GPU becomes the primary constraint above 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a detailed view of the system's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak performance. The Low preset yields an average of 189 FPS, which is exceptionally high. The Medium preset averages 149 FPS, with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS, showing good consistency. The High preset averages 119 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 92 FPS. All presets at 1080p are playable, with even the most demanding Ultra setting providing a smooth experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows a clear step down. The Low preset averages 124 FPS, which is a significant drop from 1080p but still very playable. The Medium preset averages 98 FPS, with a range of 83 FPS to 113 FPS. The High preset averages 78 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 61 FPS. At this resolution, the Ultra preset is right at the edge of 60 FPS, while the other presets offer more headroom.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The Low preset is the only one to average above 60 FPS, at 69 FPS. The Medium preset averages 54 FPS, with a minimum of 46 FPS, which may be noticeable in fast-paced scenes. The High preset averages 44 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 34 FPS, both of which would struggle to provide a smooth experience. This resolution is best reserved for less demanding games or for users willing to accept lower frame rates and potentially lower visual settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience with this hardware depends on the user's display resolution and preference for frame rate versus visual fidelity.

For 1920x1080 displays, the Ultra preset is the best choice for visual quality, as the 92 FPS average remains well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. If a higher refresh rate monitor (144Hz or more) is in use, the High preset at 119 FPS or the Medium preset at 149 FPS would be better options to take advantage of the display's capabilities. The Low preset at 189 FPS is ideal for competitive play where maximum frame rate is paramount.

For 2560x1440 displays, the High preset at 78 FPS offers a good balance between visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 98 FPS is a strong alternative for those who prefer a higher frame rate. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS is playable but leaves little margin for dips in demanding scenes. The Low preset at 124 FPS is recommended for competitive play, but the visual compromise is significant.

For 3840x2160 displays, the options are limited. The Low preset at 69 FPS is the only preset that provides a consistently playable frame rate. The Medium preset at 54 FPS is borderline, and the High and Ultra presets at 44 FPS and 34 FPS respectively are not recommended for general play. Users with a 4K display should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for a better experience or stick to the Low preset at 4K. The data suggests that this hardware is not well-suited for high-fidelity 4K gaming in Fivem.
