Fivem

Fivem places the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and AMD Radeon RX 570 combo at rank 1710 out of 1792 tested combinations. This position places it in the bottom 5% of all tested combos, indicating that while the CPU is strong, the pairing is severely constrained in this multiplayer title. The Ryzen 5 9600X’s strong synthetic showing—it sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs and averages a benchmark score of 28,246—cannot overcome the GPU’s limitations. The data clearly shows that this combo is held back by its graphics component, making it a poor fit for Fivem at higher resolutions or settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1710 out of 1792 tested combinations is a poor result, placing it in the bottom 4.6% of all CPU-GPU pairings tested for Fivem. This low ranking is particularly notable because the CPU component, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, is a modern 6-core, 12-thread processor with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz and an average benchmark score of 28,246. The CPU’s percentile rank against all CPUs is 85, which means it outperforms the vast majority of processors in general computing tasks. However, in Fivem, the pairing’s overall rank is dragged down almost entirely by the GPU.

The nearest rivals for the CPU—the Intel Core i5-13490F (deltaPct 0.3), AMD Ryzen 5 230 (deltaPct 0.3), AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (deltaPct -0.4), and Intel Core i5-14500T (deltaPct -0.5)—all have average scores within 0.5% of the 9600X. This indicates that the CPU is performing exactly as expected in isolation. Yet, when paired with the RX 570, the system’s in-game rank plummets. The discrepancy between the CPU’s high percentile (85) and the combo’s low rank (1710 of 1792) highlights a massive bottleneck. In this specific game, the data suggests that the CPU’s potential is largely untapped, as the GPU becomes the limiting factor at nearly every setting and resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is an end-of-life GPU built on the 14 nm Polaris 20 chip with GCN 4.0 architecture. It features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1168 MHz, with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, and memory running at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective). These specifications are modest by modern standards, and the GPU’s average benchmark score of 30,158 places it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. However, its nearest rivals—the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (deltaPct 0.2), AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (deltaPct 0.2), NVIDIA Tesla M60 (deltaPct 0.6), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (deltaPct 0.8)—are all significantly newer architectures with much higher performance in raw compute.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role is critical, but its 4 GB VRAM capacity becomes a severe constraint. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU struggles to maintain playable frame rates even at 1080p. The gap between the CPU’s capability and the GPU’s output is stark: while the CPU can push over 25,000 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core, the GPU’s FP32 performance of 5.095 TFLOPS is simply insufficient for a demanding multiplayer environment like Fivem. The GPU’s pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s are also low, contributing to the poor frame rates observed. The data indicates that the RX 570 is the primary bottleneck, as upgrading to a more capable GPU would likely yield substantial FPS improvements.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 74.4 FPS, which is the highest score recorded across all configurations. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 48 FPS, a reduction of 26.4 FPS (35.5%). At 4K Low, the average falls to 26.2 FPS, which is only about a third of the 1080p Low result. This scaling behavior is characteristic of a system where the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are insufficient for higher resolutions.

The drop from 1080p to 4K is even more pronounced at higher settings. For example, at High settings, the average FPS goes from 45.9 at 1080p to 32 at 1440p, and then to 15.3 at 4K. This is a 66.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU’s 4 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are completely overwhelmed at 4K. The data suggests that the limiting component is unambiguously the GPU, as the CPU’s strong single-thread performance (3,603 in Cinebench R23 single-core) would not cause such steep drops. The scaling curve shows that the combo is only viable at 1080p Low or Medium settings, and even then, it fails to maintain a high refresh rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results, but they are still inconsistent. With Low settings, the average FPS is 74.4, which is the only configuration to exceed 70 FPS. Medium settings yield 62.7 FPS, while High settings drop to 45.9 FPS. Ultra settings are the worst at 1080p, producing an average of 39.9 FPS. These numbers indicate that the GPU can handle 1080p only at lower presets; anything above Medium results in sub-60 FPS average frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance falls off significantly. Low settings produce an average of 48 FPS, which is a 35.5% drop from the 1080p Low result. Medium settings average 42.9 FPS, High settings 32 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 24.1 FPS. None of these results reach 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset is barely playable. At 3840x2160, the situation becomes dire. Low settings average 26.2 FPS, Medium 24.7 FPS, High 15.3 FPS, and Ultra 16.2 FPS. Every 4K configuration produces frame rates below 30 FPS, making the game effectively unplayable at that resolution. The data shows a consistent pattern: the RX 570 is only capable of delivering acceptable performance at 1080p Low or Medium, and even then, the margin is thin.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combo for this system in Fivem?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 with Low settings is the best configuration, yielding an average of 74.4 FPS. Medium settings at 1080p produce 62.7 FPS, which is also playable, but anything above that drops below 46 FPS.

Q: Why does the combo rank so low if the CPU is in the 85th percentile?

A: The combo ranks 1710 out of 1792 tested combinations because the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 570, is the limiting factor. While the Ryzen 5 9600X has a high average benchmark score of 28,246, the GPU’s 4 GB VRAM and 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 performance cannot keep up with the CPU’s capabilities in Fivem.

Q: Is this system capable of running Fivem at 4K?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS is 26.2 at Low settings, and the Ultra preset averages just 16.2 FPS. These frame rates are well below playable thresholds, indicating that 4K is not a viable option for this combo.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals in average score?

A: The RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 30,158. Its nearest rivals, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, have scores within 0.2% of it, with deltas of 0.2. The NVIDIA Tesla M60 is 0.6% ahead, and the RTX 5070 Mobile is 0.8% ahead.

Q: What is the impact of raising settings from Low to Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, raising settings from Low (74.4 FPS) to Ultra (39.9 FPS) results in a 46.4% drop in average frame rate. This indicates that the GPU’s resources are heavily taxed by higher graphical presets.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this pairing?

A: The data strongly indicates the GPU is the bottleneck. The CPU’s single-thread score in Cinebench R23 is 3,603, which is robust, but the GPU’s 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient. The steep FPS drops when increasing resolution from 1080p to 4K are characteristic of a GPU-limited system.
