Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 produces a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphical settings. The measured data shows a clear scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K, with the RTX 2060 becoming the primary limiting factor as pixel count increases. This combination ranks in the 1425th position out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database for this specific multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals a dramatic drop in frame rates across all settings. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 93.8 at 1080p to 61.1 at 1440p, then to 32 at 4K. This represents a 65.9% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is struggling to maintain throughput as resolution increases. The Low settings preset shows a similar pattern, dropping from 143.7 FPS at 1080p to 97.8 at 1440p and 54.1 at 4K.

The scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p, the system is relatively balanced, but the gap between the CPU and GPU capabilities widens significantly at higher resolutions. The 4K results are particularly telling: even at Low settings, the average FPS of 54.1 is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered smooth gameplay. At Ultra settings in 4K, the average drops to 25.3 FPS, which is nearly unplayable for most users. The data indicates that 1440p represents the practical ceiling for this combo, with High settings achieving 61.1 FPS and Medium reaching 75.7 FPS.

The resolution scaling pattern points to the RTX 2060 as the limiting component. The GPU's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus width become stressed as the framebuffer demands increase. The 4K results show that even the CPU's strong single-thread performance cannot compensate for the GPU's bandwidth constraints. The difference between 1080p Low (143.7 FPS) and 4K Low (54.1 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU is the bottleneck, as a CPU-limited scenario would show much smaller performance deltas across resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 operates with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz, built on the TU106 chip using the Turing architecture. The GPU's 6 GB GDDR6 memory provides 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but insufficient for smooth 4K performance in Fivem. The card's 1920 shading units and 48 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 80.64 GPixel/s, yet the measured FPS data shows that High settings at 4K only achieve 32 FPS.

The RTX 2060's memory allocation becomes a factor at higher resolutions. With 6 GB of VRAM, the card may encounter capacity constraints when rendering detailed scenes at 4K, particularly with Ultra settings that typically increase texture memory usage. The benchmark results show a steep drop from Medium (44.9 FPS) to High (32 FPS) at 4K, and a further decline to 25.3 FPS at Ultra. This suggests that the GPU's compute resources and memory bandwidth are being saturated, not just its VRAM capacity.

The GPU's overall benchmark percentile stands at 58, placing it in the middle of the database's GPU population. Its Passmark G3D score of 14111 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1242 provide context for its capabilities, but the Fivem-specific results reveal how this GPU performs in a real-world multiplayer scenario. The RTX 2060's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (0.5% higher average score) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (1.7% lower), indicating it sits in a competitive performance band.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 9600X and RTX 2060 achieves a rank of 1425 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 79.5th percentile of all combinations. This ranking reflects the GPU's limitations more than the CPU's capabilities, as the Ryzen 5 9600X's average benchmark score of 28246 places it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs. The disparity between the CPU's strong relative position and the combo's lower ranking underscores how the RTX 2060 drags down overall performance.

The combo rank suggests that many other pairings deliver better Fivem performance, likely those with more powerful GPUs. However, the data shows that this combo still achieves playable frame rates at 1080p across all settings, with Ultra reaching 70.2 FPS. The rank is influenced by the fact that the database includes many high-end GPU pairings that naturally outperform this mid-range configuration. The CPU's nearest rivals—the Intel Core i5-13490F (0.3% higher score), AMD Ryzen 5 230 (0.3% higher), AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (0.4% lower), and Intel Core i5-14500T (0.5% lower)—all fall within a narrow performance band, indicating that the CPU is not the differentiating factor in this combo's ranking.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 143.7 FPS, Medium reaches 117.9 FPS, High achieves 93.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 70.2 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p gaming is well within the system's capabilities, with even the most demanding preset maintaining a smooth experience. The spread from Low to Ultra is 73.5 FPS, showing that settings have a significant but manageable impact at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops considerably but remains playable for most settings. Low settings yield 97.8 FPS, Medium achieves 75.7 FPS, High reaches 61.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the first instance where the average FPS dips below 60, suggesting that users seeking consistent high refresh rates should stick to High or below. The 1440p results show a 50.6 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, demonstrating that the GPU's headroom shrinks as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes marginal. Low settings produce 54.1 FPS, Medium reaches 44.9 FPS, High achieves 32 FPS, and Ultra drops to 25.3 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach 60 FPS, and only Low settings approach playability. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 28.8 FPS, which is the smallest absolute spread across all resolutions, indicating that the GPU is hitting a hard performance ceiling regardless of settings.
