Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT combination produces a wide spread of frame rates in Fivem, ranging from 42.8 FPS at 4K Ultra to 241.1 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured data indicates a system that is heavily influenced by both resolution and graphics settings, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions while the CPU demonstrates strong headroom at lower settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Built on the Zen 5 architecture with a 4 nm process, this processor belongs to the 9000 series and is designed for the AMD Socket AM5 platform. In synthetic testing, the CPU demonstrates strong single-thread performance with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 1253, and scales effectively up to its maximum thread count, achieving a 3dmark_max_threads score of 7590 versus 7585 for 16 threads. This scaling pattern suggests that the 6-core/12-thread configuration is well-balanced for workloads that can utilize multiple threads.

Cinebench results reinforce this picture: the R23 multicore score of 25525 and single-core score of 3603 indicate a processor that excels in both lightly-threaded and fully-threaded scenarios. In Fivem, a multiplayer game that often relies on a few primary threads for simulation and network handling, the single-core strength is particularly relevant. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 241.1 FPS, which is substantially higher than at 4K Low (88.6 FPS), suggesting that at low resolutions the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with frames far beyond what the GPU can render at 4K.

The Ryzen 5 9600X sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs in the benchmark database, with an average benchmark score of 28246. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-13490F with a deltaPct of 0.3% and the AMD Ryzen 5 230 with a deltaPct of 0.3%, meaning the 9600X is statistically tied with these processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS trails by 0.4%, and the Intel Core i5-14500T trails by 0.5%. This clustering indicates that the 9600X is firmly positioned in a competitive mid-range performance tier, and its 6-core/12-thread layout with high boost clocks is well-suited to Fivem's mixed workload of game logic and rendering.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1825 MHz, a game clock of 2015 MHz, and a boost clock of 2250 MHz. With 4608 shading units, 288 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units, the card delivers 20.74 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Memory runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p, the frame rate scales from 116.6 FPS at Ultra to 241.1 FPS at Low, a range that reflects the GPU's ability to handle the game's rendering demands when resolution is not the limiting factor. However, at 4K, the frame rates drop to 42.8 FPS at Ultra and 88.6 FPS at Low, indicating that the GPU is being pushed to its limits at the higher pixel count. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming, but the raw compute throughput becomes the constraint at 4K Ultra.

The RX 6800 XT holds the 87th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49982. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc A550M (0.5% higher), NVIDIA RTX A1000 (1.7% higher), NVIDIA CMP 50HX (1.9% lower), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (2.6% lower). This places the 6800 XT in a strong position relative to its peers, and the measured Fivem results show that it can maintain playable frame rates at 1440p across all settings, with the Ultra preset still delivering 75 FPS.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured data reveals a clear pattern of frame rate degradation as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop varies significantly by settings preset. At Low settings, the system delivers 241.1 FPS at 1080p, 158.1 FPS at 1440p, and 88.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34.4% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 63.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The consistent scaling suggests that at Low settings, the GPU is the primary bottleneck across all resolutions, while the CPU has ample headroom.

At Ultra settings, the frame rates are 116.6 FPS at 1080p, 75 FPS at 1440p, and 42.8 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are steeper: a 35.7% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 63.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The parallelism in these percentage drops across Low and Ultra settings is notable — it indicates that the limiting component shifts consistently with resolution rather than with settings complexity. The GPU is clearly the limiting factor at 4K, as even the jump from Medium (68.3 FPS) to High (56 FPS) to Ultra (42.8 FPS) shows a predictable decline in performance as rendering load increases.

When comparing 1080p to 4K at Medium settings, the drop is from 188.3 FPS to 68.3 FPS, a 63.7% reduction. This consistency across presets — roughly a two-thirds reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K — points to a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At 1080p, however, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (evidenced by the 3dmark_single_thread score of 1253 and Cinebench R23 single-core of 3603) allows the system to push beyond 240 FPS at Low settings, demonstrating that the processor is not holding back the GPU in lower-resolution scenarios.

Q: Does the CPU show any signs of bottlenecking at 1080p Low settings?

A: The 241.1 FPS at 1080p Low is the highest measured result across all configurations, and given that the CPU's 3dmark_max_threads score of 7590 is nearly identical to its 16-thread score of 7585, there is no indication of a CPU limitation at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 149.5 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate commonly found in gaming monitors, making it the best balance of visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset at 116.6 FPS is also viable for 120 Hz displays, but the 28.1% drop from High to Ultra in average FPS may not justify the visual gains in Fivem's multiplayer environments where consistency matters.

At 1440p, the Medium preset provides 126.5 FPS, which is a strong option for high-refresh-rate gaming. The High preset at 99.8 FPS is also acceptable for 100 Hz displays, while Ultra at 75 FPS is suitable for 75 Hz monitors but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The Low preset at 158.1 FPS offers the highest frame rate but sacrifices visual fidelity in a game where player visibility and environment detail can be important.

For 4K gaming, the Low preset at 88.6 FPS is the only configuration that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 68.3 FPS is playable but may dip below 60 FPS in intense multiplayer moments. The High preset at 56 FPS and Ultra at 42.8 FPS are not recommended for competitive play, as they fall below the 60 FPS threshold and would likely result in noticeable stuttering in Fivem's open-world multiplayer setting.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured average FPS values across all resolutions and settings is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the system achieves 241.1 FPS on Low settings, 188.3 FPS on Medium, 149.5 FPS on High, and 116.6 FPS on Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline, with each preset tier representing a roughly 20-25% reduction in frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the results are 158.1 FPS on Low, 126.5 FPS on Medium, 99.8 FPS on High, and 75 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 83.1 FPS, representing a 52.5% reduction from the lowest to highest quality preset.

At 3840x2160, the system delivers 88.6 FPS on Low, 68.3 FPS on Medium, 56 FPS on High, and 42.8 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra preset at 4K produces less than half the frame rate of the Low preset at 4K, and less than one-fifth of the maximum 1080p Low result.

The data reveals that the combo ranks 640th out of 1792 total combinations tested in Fivem, placing it in the upper third of all tested systems. The measured results confirm that the Ryzen 5 9600X and RX 6800 XT pairing is well-matched for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem, with the GPU becoming the limiting factor at 4K resolutions.
