Fivem

Fivem with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT presents a clear picture of performance scaling across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves an average of 160.1 FPS, which drops to 122.7 FPS at Medium, 97.8 FPS at High, and 79.7 FPS at Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the averages fall to 105.1 FPS (Low), 79.5 FPS (Medium), 67.9 FPS (High), and 50.2 FPS (Ultra). At 4K, the numbers compress further: 56.8 FPS (Low), 44 FPS (Medium), 37.6 FPS (High), and 26.7 FPS (Ultra).

The scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K is steep, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. Going from 1080p Low to 4K Low, the frame rate drops by roughly 65%, while the drop from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra is about 66%. This consistent reduction across settings suggests that resolution is the dominant factor, not the preset. The gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases: at 1080p there is a 50% spread between the two, but at 4K the spread narrows to 47%. This means the CPU can still feed frames at 1080p, but the GPU's workload becomes so heavy at 4K that even lowering settings cannot recover playable framerates. The data indicates that 1440p is the practical ceiling for High settings, while 1080p is the only resolution where Ultra remains reasonably smooth.

Settings Recommendations

For this combination, the measured rows show a clear sweet spot at 1080p High, which delivers 97.8 FPS. This is a strong balance between visual fidelity and fluidity, especially for a multiplayer title where responsiveness matters. Dropping to Medium at 1080p yields 122.7 FPS, a 25% improvement, but the visual downgrade may not be worth it unless the player prioritizes maximum refresh rate. Ultra at 1080p falls to 79.7 FPS, which is still playable but begins to approach the lower end of competitive thresholds. At 1440p, High produces 67.9 FPS, which is acceptable for casual play but not ideal for fast-paced scenarios. The Low preset at 1440p hits 105.1 FPS, making it the best choice for high-refresh 1440p monitors, though the graphical sacrifice is substantial. 4K is not recommended for this game with this combo; even Low only reaches 56.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 26.7 FPS, which is below playable standards. The practical advice is to stick with 1080p High for balanced performance, or 1440p Low if the display requires it, as the measured data shows these presets offer the best experience relative to their resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. Its boost clock is 2589 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz, and it has 2048 shading units. The GPU's performance in Fivem is heavily influenced by resolution scaling, as the 4K results show a dramatic falloff. At 4K Ultra, the card produces 26.7 FPS, indicating that the 8 GB frame buffer and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the texture and geometry loads at that resolution. The 128-bit bus width is a limiting factor, as higher resolutions demand more memory throughput. The card's 64 ROPs and 128 TMUs help at lower resolutions, with 1080p Low reaching 160.1 FPS, but the pixel rate of 165.7 GPixel/s becomes the ceiling at 4K. The data shows the GPU is the dominant component in determining FPS at 1440p and above, as the CPU has headroom at those settings. The 10.60 TFLOPS FP32 performance is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the card's end-of-life status and 160 W TDP suggest it is best paired with a 1080p or modest 1440p display. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1804 places it in the 71st percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (0.1% slower) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (0.9% faster), which contextualizes its mid-range standing.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 7 3700X and Radeon RX 6600 XT ranks 1336 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. That places it in the 25th percentile of all combinations, meaning roughly three-quarters of tested systems perform better in this game. The rank reflects the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions, as the CPU is relatively strong. The Ryzen 7 3700X has an average benchmark score of 28631, putting it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the RX 6600 XT has an average score of 27985, in the 71st percentile of GPUs. The combo rank is dragged down by the GPU's mid-tier standing, not the CPU. Compared to other tested combos, this pairing is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it can deliver competitive frame rates. At 1440p, it falls behind combos with stronger GPUs, and at 4K it is clearly outclassed. The rank of 1336 suggests that users with this setup should not expect to dominate high-resolution benchmarks, but it is a capable 1080p machine. The data indicates that upgrading the GPU would yield a larger performance gain in Fivem than upgrading the CPU, given the measured FPS scaling.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has 32 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 160.1 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited, as the GPU has ample headroom. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide enough parallel processing for the game's multiplayer workloads, which often involve many NPCs and dynamic events. The CPU's single-thread performance, as shown in Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2694, is adequate for the game's main thread, but it is not exceptional. At 1080p Ultra, the FPS drops to 79.7, indicating that the GPU is now the limiting factor, not the CPU. The data suggests that the CPU can handle up to roughly 160 FPS in this game, but the GPU cannot sustain that at higher settings. The Ryzen 7 3700X's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12600 (0.1% faster) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (0.1% slower), showing it is a balanced mid-range performer. For Fivem, the CPU is not the primary constraint except at the lowest settings, where it allows the GPU to push high frame rates. The 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node make it efficient, but the architecture's IPC is modest by modern standards, which shows in the single-thread scores.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are: Low 160.1 FPS, Medium 122.7 FPS, High 97.8 FPS, and Ultra 79.7 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium costs 23% performance, while Medium to High costs another 20%, and High to Ultra costs 18%. This shows diminishing returns as settings increase, with the largest jump occurring between Low and Medium. At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 105.1 FPS, Medium 79.5 FPS, High 67.9 FPS, and Ultra 50.2 FPS. The percentage drops between settings are more consistent here: Low to Medium is 24%, Medium to High is 15%, and High to Ultra is 26%. The 1440p results show that Low is the only preset that maintains above 100 FPS, while Ultra falls below 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low 56.8 FPS, Medium 44 FPS, High 37.6 FPS, and Ultra 26.7 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 22%, Medium to High is 15%, and High to Ultra is 29%. None of the 4K presets reach 60 FPS, making this resolution impractical for smooth gameplay. The data reveals a consistent pattern: the GPU's performance degrades roughly linearly with resolution, while settings have a compounding effect. The largest absolute gap between Low and Ultra is at 1080p (80.4 FPS), while the smallest is at 4K (30.1 FPS), confirming that resolution scaling dominates over settings scaling.
