Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer modification that stresses both CPU and GPU, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT combo delivers a playable but resolution-sensitive experience. Benchmark results show a clear scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K, with the system transitioning from a CPU-bound state at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound state at higher ones. The data indicates that this pairing is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can hit high refresh rates, while 4K requires significant settings compromises.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance drop as resolution increases, which is typical for a mid-range GPU like the RX 6600 XT. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 159 FPS, which drops to 105 FPS at 1440p and further to 58 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count rises.

Looking at High settings, the pattern continues: 100 FPS at 1080p, 66 FPS at 1440p, and 37 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 44% drop, while the 1080p to 1440p transition costs 34% of performance. This non-linear drop suggests that the RX 6600 XT's 8 GB VRAM and 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are increasingly strained at higher resolutions, particularly when texture quality and other memory-intensive settings are enabled.

The Medium preset row shows the most complete data, including minimum and maximum frame times. At 4K Medium, the average is 46 FPS with a minimum of 39 FPS and maximum of 53 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average jumps to 83 FPS with a range of 70-95 FPS. At 1080p Medium, the average reaches 126 FPS with a range of 107-144 FPS. The consistency of these ranges suggests that the frame pacing remains stable even when the GPU is under heavy load, which is important for a multiplayer game where sudden frame drops can be detrimental.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 78 FPS at 1080p, 51 FPS at 1440p, and just 28 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is below the playable threshold for most gamers, while the 1080p Ultra result remains smooth. This indicates that the combo can handle max settings at 1080p but falls apart at 4K, where the GPU's 10.60 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is insufficient for the pixel workload.

The data shows that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p Low, the 159 FPS result is likely CPU-limited, as the Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads are handling game logic and physics while the GPU has headroom. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as evidenced by the dramatic FPS drops regardless of settings. The sweet spot for this combo appears to be 1440p, where the CPU can still push enough frames and the GPU maintains reasonable performance across all presets.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, manufactured on a 7 nm process from TSMC. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operations units, with 32 ray tracing cores. The GPU's base clock is 1968 MHz, with a boost clock of 2589 MHz and a game clock of 2359 MHz. These clock speeds are relatively high for a mid-range card, which helps explain its strong 1080p performance.

The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory operates at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective) across a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but becomes a limiting factor at 4K, especially with High or Ultra settings. The measured FPS data supports this, as the 4K Ultra result of 28 FPS suggests the card is both compute-bound and memory-bandwidth-limited.

In terms of synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 16461 in Passmark G3D and 7520 in Passmark GPU Compute. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1804. The GPU's percentile ranking versus all GPUs is 70, placing it above the majority of cards but below high-end options. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630 (0.7% faster), Intel Arc A350M (0.8% slower), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (0.8% faster), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (1.1% faster). This grouping shows that the RX 6600 XT sits in a tight performance band, with its closest competitors within a couple of percentage points.

The GPU's memory clock of 2000 MHz is notable because it directly impacts how quickly textures and geometry can be streamed. In Fivem, which features dense city environments with many objects and dynamic elements, this bandwidth is crucial. The 4K results show that when the resolution demands more texture data, the card's throughput becomes insufficient, leading to the observed FPS drops.

The GPU also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which means it can handle modern rendering techniques used in modified versions of the game. The 190 mm length and dual-slot design make it a compact card, but its 160 W TDP and 1x 8-pin power connector require a 450 W PSU, which is a reasonable requirement for a gaming system.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT ranks 2608 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the 30th percentile of all tested combos, meaning roughly 70% of other CPU-GPU pairings perform better in this specific game. This ranking is lower than what the individual component percentiles might suggest, as the CPU sits at the 78th percentile and the GPU at the 70th percentile.

The discrepancy between component rankings and combo ranking highlights the CPU-intensive nature of Fivem. The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads are capable, but the game's multiplayer architecture may not fully utilize them. The CPU's benchmark scores are respectable — a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916 — but these don't translate perfectly to Fivem's specific workload.

The combo's nearest rival CPUs include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (0.1% slower), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (0.1% faster), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (0.3% slower). These rivals span different market segments, but the performance deltas are minimal, indicating that the CPU's overall compute capability is well-balanced for its class.

Given the 2608th rank out of 3707 combos, the data suggests that this pairing is on the lower end of tested configurations for Fivem. This is likely because the game prioritizes single-thread performance and specific CPU features that the Ryzen 7 5700 provides only moderately. Users with higher-ranked combos likely have CPUs with better single-core performance or GPUs with more memory bandwidth.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. The 83 FPS average with a minimum of 70 FPS provides a smooth experience that stays above most display refresh rates, while the visual fidelity is acceptable for a multiplayer game where competitive play is common.

For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 100 FPS is the recommended choice. This provides excellent frame rates that exceed standard 60 Hz displays and approaches the 144 Hz threshold. The Ultra preset at 78 FPS is also viable at 1080p for those who prioritize visual quality, as the frame rate remains above 60 FPS.

At 1440p, the High preset yields 66 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced competitive scenarios. The Medium preset at 83 FPS is the better option here. At 4K, the only playable option is Low at 58 FPS, which is borderline but may be acceptable for casual play. The Medium preset at 4K gives 46 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target, and High at 37 FPS is too low for smooth gameplay.

The Ultra preset should be avoided at 1440p and above, as the 51 FPS at 1440p and 28 FPS at 4K are insufficient. At 1080p Ultra, the 78 FPS result is acceptable but not ideal. The data shows that the Medium preset provides the most consistent frame times, as evidenced by the minimum and maximum FPS values being closer together compared to other settings.
