GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU built on a 12 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 1530 MHz and a boost clock of 1785 MHz. Its memory configuration consists of 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications position the card as a mid-range part, and the benchmark data confirms its 55th percentile standing among all GPUs.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1080p, the GTX 1660 SUPER can push frame rates above 125 FPS on Low settings, but the gap between presets narrows at higher resolutions. The card's 48 ROPs and 1408 shading units handle the game's geometry and pixel shading, but the 6 GB VRAM capacity appears to be a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS collapses to 20.6.

The GPU's memory bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s is adequate for 1080p and 1440p workloads, but the data shows a clear degradation at 3840x2160. The GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12699 in Passmark G3D and 5076 in Passmark GPU Compute, indicating moderate compute capability. The pixel rate of 85.68 GPixel/s and texture rate of 157.1 GTexel/s are consistent with its Turing architecture, but Fivem's demanding draw calls at high resolutions expose the card's limitations.

The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11, scores only 0.2% higher on average, yet the 1660 SUPER's discrete design and dedicated memory give it an edge in sustained gaming workloads. In Fivem, the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, where even Medium settings only achieve 36.4 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

Fivem shows a predictable FPS drop as resolution increases, but the magnitude varies by preset. At Low settings, the combo delivers 125.5 FPS at 1080p, which falls to 84.2 FPS at 1440p and 45.4 FPS at 4K. This represents a 64% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GTX 1660 SUPER is being pushed to its limits at higher pixel counts.

At High settings, the scaling is steeper: 79 FPS at 1080p drops to 50.5 FPS at 1440p and 27.7 FPS at 4K. The 4K figure is 65% lower than the 1080p result, showing that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are insufficient for high-quality rendering at this resolution.

The data reveals that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the Ryzen 7 3700X's 8 cores and 16 threads can feed the GPU adequately, allowing the GTX 1660 SUPER to reach its potential. At 4K, the GPU's 6 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus become the bottleneck, as evidenced by the Ultra preset dropping to 20.6 FPS.

The scaling pattern suggests that Fivem is not purely GPU-bound at lower resolutions. The 1080p Low result of 125.5 FPS is close to what a 1660 SUPER can deliver, but the 1080p Ultra score of 57.8 FPS indicates that the game's draw distance and texture quality settings place significant load on the GPU. The 1440p results sit in a middle ground, with Medium achieving 65.7 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its strongest results. Low settings yield an average of 125.5 FPS, Medium achieves 97.2 FPS, High reaches 79 FPS, and Ultra drops to 57.8 FPS. The 1080p Low result is the highest frame rate across all tested configurations, providing a smooth experience for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

At 2560x1440, performance degrades noticeably. Low settings average 84.2 FPS, Medium at 65.7 FPS, High at 50.5 FPS, and Ultra at 40.8 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is still above 60 FPS thresholds for many users, but the gap between Low and Ultra is 43.4 FPS, highlighting the GPU's sensitivity to quality settings.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles. Low settings average 45.4 FPS, Medium at 36.4 FPS, High at 27.7 FPS, and Ultra at 20.6 FPS. Only the Low preset is consistently above 30 FPS, and even that is borderline. The 4K Ultra result is 20.6 FPS, which is unplayable for most users.

The data shows that the GTX 1660 SUPER has a maximum performance ceiling of 125.5 FPS in Fivem at 1080p Low. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 67.7 FPS, representing a 54% drop. At 1440p, the drop from Low to Ultra is 43.4 FPS (52%), and at 4K, it is 24.8 FPS (55%). This consistency suggests that the GPU's relative performance across presets is stable, but the absolute numbers fall as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a Zen 2 architecture processor built on a 7 nm process. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The CPU has 32 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Its TDP is 65 W, and it is unlocked for overclocking.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p, where the GPU is not the sole bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 3700X's 8 cores allow for efficient multi-threaded processing, which is important for a multiplayer game like Fivem that simulates many entities. The CPU's single-thread performance, as shown by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2694, is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at lower resolutions.

The CPU's benchmark scores place it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average score of 28631. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12600, which scores 28654 (0.1% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, which scores 28591 (0.1% lower). These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, but the Ryzen 7's higher core count may provide an advantage in Fivem's server-side simulation.

The CPU's Passmark multithread score of 22458 and Passmark physics score of 1181 indicate strong multi-threaded capability. In Fivem, this translates to stable frame pacing at 1080p, where the measured FPS of 79 on High settings suggests the CPU can maintain frame delivery without stuttering. At 4K, the CPU becomes less relevant, as the GPU's limitations dominate the performance profile.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the Medium preset at 1920x1080 is the recommended choice. It delivers 97.2 FPS on average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while providing better visual fidelity than Low. The High preset at 1080p offers 79 FPS, which is also playable, but the 18.2 FPS drop from Medium to High is noticeable in fast-paced scenarios.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the highest quality option that maintains smooth performance. It averages 65.7 FPS, which is above 60 FPS. The High preset at 50.5 FPS is playable but may exhibit occasional dips below 60 FPS during intense moments. For competitive play, the Low preset at 84.2 FPS is the safest choice.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is recommended, as it achieves 45.4 FPS. The Medium preset at 36.4 FPS is borderline playable, but the High and Ultra presets at 27.7 and 20.6 FPS respectively are too slow for a responsive experience. Users targeting 4K should prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity.

The data indicates that the GTX 1660 SUPER cannot sustain 60 FPS at any preset above Low at 4K. At 1440p, the Medium preset is the sweet spot, offering 65.7 FPS with moderate visual enhancements. At 1080p, the Medium preset provides the best experience, with the High preset as a viable alternative for users who prefer higher quality.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + GTX 1660 SUPER combo ranks 1553 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the 13th percentile of all tested systems. This ranking reflects the GPU's mid-range positioning (55th percentile) and the CPU's strong showing (85th percentile), but the GPU ultimately limits the system's gaming performance.

The combo's ranking is consistent with its measured FPS data. At 1080p Medium, it achieves 97.2 FPS, which is competitive with many mid-range systems. However, the GTX 1660 SUPER's 6 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus prevent it from competing with higher-tier GPUs at 1440p and 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 20.6 FPS is a clear indicator of this limitation.

Relative to the GPU's nearest rivals, the combo's performance in Fivem is slightly below what the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 would achieve (based on the 0.2% higher average score), but the 1660 SUPER's discrete design and dedicated GDDR6 memory provide more consistent frame delivery. The CPU's 0.1% deficit to the Intel Core i5-12600 is within measurement error and does not meaningfully impact Fivem performance.

The ranking of 1553 out of 1792 indicates that this combo is better suited for 1080p gaming, where it can deliver frame rates above 90 FPS on Low and Medium presets. Users with 1440p monitors can achieve playable results on Medium settings, but 4K gaming is not viable beyond Low settings. The data confirms that the GTX 1660 SUPER is the limiting component, while the Ryzen 7 3700X provides ample headroom for future GPU upgrades.
