Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT shows a pronounced dependency on resolution, with performance dropping steadily as pixel count rises. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 167.8 FPS, which falls to 110.6 FPS at 2560x1440 — a 34% reduction — and further to 59.0 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a 65% drop from the 1080p baseline. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as the resolution climbs, with the RX 6650 XT's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus width being exercised more heavily at higher pixel counts.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p is particularly telling. At High settings, the drop is from 106.4 FPS to 68.9 FPS, a 35% decrease that suggests the rendering load is scaling nearly linearly with pixel count. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings yields 37.5 FPS, another 46% reduction. These figures point to a system where the GPU is the primary bottleneck at all resolutions above 1080p, while the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads remain capable of feeding the graphics pipeline without becoming the limiting factor, especially at lower settings where frame rates exceed 160 FPS.

The difference between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution further emphasizes the GPU-bound nature of the workload. At 1080p, the gap between Low (167.8 FPS) and Ultra (80.1 FPS) is 87.7 FPS — more than a 2x spread — which grows to 58.1 FPS at 1440p (110.6 vs 52.5) and 30.7 FPS at 4K (59.0 vs 28.3). The narrowing absolute gap at higher resolutions reflects the GPU hitting its raw throughput ceiling, where even dropping settings cannot fully compensate for the pixel fill rate demands.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 architecture part built on TSMC's 7 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide adequate headroom for multiplayer game workloads like Fivem, which typically involve numerous entities and scripted interactions that can stress CPU threads.

Benchmark data for this CPU shows strong multi-threaded performance: it scores 20,655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,916 in single-core, with a 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,628. The processor's percentile ranking of 84 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27,220, places it in the upper tier of desktop processors. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27,043 (0.7% lower), the Intel Core i7-12700H at 27,006 (0.8% lower), and the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26,991 (0.8% lower), indicating the Ryzen 7 5700 sits at the top of this comparison group.

In the context of Fivem's measured frame rates, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but its 16 threads become relevant at 1080p Low where 167.8 FPS is achieved. At such high frame rates, the CPU must handle game logic and draw calls rapidly, and the Ryzen 7 5700's multi-threaded capabilities, evidenced by its PassMark multithread score of 24,303, provide sufficient processing power. The 4.60 GHz boost clock helps maintain responsiveness in single-threaded scenarios, as reflected in its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,916, which is competitive with the listed rivals.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU with 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. It operates with a base clock of 2055 MHz and a boost clock of 2635 MHz, with a game clock of 2410 MHz. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 280.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which becomes a critical factor at 4K resolutions where texture data and frame buffer demands increase substantially.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 10.79 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 168.6 GPixel/s, with a texture rate of 337.3 GTexel/s. These specifications translate to a PassMark G3D score of 17,166, placing the GPU at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 29,024. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M with a score of 29,011 (0% difference), the AMD Radeon RX 470 at 28,996 (0.1% higher), and the Intel Arc A370M at 29,175 (0.5% higher), showing the RX 6650 XT is closely matched with its immediate competition.

In Fivem, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for the measured settings, but the 128-bit memory interface may contribute to performance degradation at 4K Ultra where only 28.3 FPS is achieved. The boost clock of 2635 MHz helps maintain performance at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 167.8 FPS at 1080p Low, but the GPU's raw throughput limits become apparent when scaling to higher pixel counts. The 32 ray tracing cores are present, though Fivem's rendering workload appears to rely more on traditional rasterization given the frame rates observed.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT ranks 1,129 out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This ranking reflects the measured FPS data, which shows the combo achieving playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p but struggling at 4K, particularly with higher settings.

The rank of 1,129 out of 1,792 indicates that a significant number of other hardware combinations outperform this pairing in Fivem, likely due to more powerful GPUs in the database. However, the CPU's strong benchmark scores, including its 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs, suggest that the processor is not the primary constraint. The GPU's 72nd percentile ranking, while respectable, places it below many other graphics cards that could be paired with this CPU to achieve higher frame rates.

The deltaPct values for the CPU's nearest rivals — 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K, 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700H, and 1.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 — indicate that the Ryzen 7 5700 provides a slight edge over these alternatives in synthetic benchmarks. For the GPU, the 0% deltaPct against the AMD Radeon RX 6800M and 0.1% against the RX 470 suggest near-parity performance, meaning users could expect similar Fivem results with those GPUs. The combo's overall rank, when considered alongside the CPU's high percentile and the GPU's moderate percentile, points to the GPU as the component most likely to be upgraded for better Fivem performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 167.8 FPS, Medium settings yield 132.8 FPS, High settings achieve 106.4 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 80.1 FPS. These figures demonstrate that the system can handle competitive multiplayer gameplay at 1080p with headroom, even at Ultra settings where the 80.1 FPS result remains above the 60 FPS threshold typically sought for smooth gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440 resolution, performance scales down proportionally. Low settings produce 110.6 FPS, Medium settings achieve 87.1 FPS, High settings deliver 68.9 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 52.5 FPS. The 1440p results are notable because the High setting maintains a playable 68.9 FPS, while Ultra dips below 60 FPS, suggesting that users targeting 1440p gaming should consider dropping to High settings for a smoother experience.

At 3840x2160 resolution, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. Low settings yield 59.0 FPS, Medium settings achieve 45.7 FPS, High settings produce 37.5 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 28.3 FPS. Only the Low setting at 4K manages to stay above 30 FPS, and even that result is marginal for fluid gameplay. The progression from 1080p to 4K shows a consistent halving of frame rates at each settings tier: Low drops from 167.8 to 59.0, Medium from 132.8 to 45.7, High from 106.4 to 37.5, and Ultra from 80.1 to 28.3.

The spread between Low and Ultra settings widens at lower resolutions, from a 87.7 FPS gap at 1080p to a 30.7 FPS gap at 4K, indicating that the GPU's fixed performance ceiling compresses the settings-based variation as resolution increases. For users prioritizing high frame rates, the 1080p Low setting at 167.8 FPS offers the best competitive advantage, while those seeking visual fidelity at 1440p should use High settings to balance the 68.9 FPS result against image quality. At 4K, the data suggests that only Low settings provide a minimally playable experience, with 59.0 FPS — and even that may be inconsistent in demanding multiplayer scenarios.
