Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti combo lands near the bottom of the tested field for Fivem, ranking 3202 out of 3707 combos. This places it in the 14th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 86% of system pairings deliver higher frame rates in this multiplayer title. The pairing of a strong eight-core CPU with an older mid-range GPU creates a notable bottleneck ceiling, but the data reveals this is not a uniformly poor experience—it simply requires careful settings management to stay within playable territory.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 3202 out of 3707 tested pairs puts it in the lower tier of Fivem performance, and this is largely a GPU-driven outcome. The GTX 1660 Ti sits at the 41st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 7723, while the Ryzen 7 5700 ranks much higher at the 78th percentile among CPUs with an average score of 25517. This disparity is the core story: the processor has ample headroom, but the graphics card caps what the system can deliver.

Looking at the GPU’s nearest rivals clarifies its standing. The GTX 1660 Ti’s average score of 7723 is within 0.7% of the AMD Radeon 540 (7673), 1.9% above the AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 (7580), and 2.2% above the AMD Radeon R7 250 (7557). The Intel Arc A310 trails by 2.3% with a score of 7550. These are all low-end or entry-level cards, reinforcing that the 1660 Ti is positioned far below the mid-range and high-end GPUs that dominate the top of Fivem’s combo leaderboard.

The CPU side tells a different story. The Ryzen 7 5700’s average benchmark score of 25517 is statistically tied with its nearest rivals: it is 0.1% behind the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530), 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550), and 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485). It edges the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U by 0.3% (25446). In isolation, the CPU is a solid performer, but in this combo, its capabilities are largely wasted in Fivem’s most demanding settings.

The practical takeaway is that this system will consistently land in the lower third of Fivem performance charts. It is not a competitive pairing for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p or 4K, but at 1080p with reduced settings, it can hold its own against many lower-ranked combos. The rank reflects an overall average across all tested resolutions and settings, so individual scenarios will vary widely, as the FPS breakdown below demonstrates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti is the limiting factor in this combo, and its specifications explain why. It features 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 1500 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and memory runs at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective). This hardware configuration is Turing architecture on a 12 nm process, with 1536 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units.

In Fivem, these specs translate to a clear pattern: the GPU’s 6 GB frame buffer becomes strained at higher resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows the card’s limits plainly. At 1080p Ultra, the combo manages an average of 60 FPS, but at 1440p Ultra, this drops to 39 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to just 22 FPS. The 6 GB VRAM is likely a contributing factor at 4K, where texture-heavy multiplayer scenes can exceed this capacity, causing the card to struggle.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reinforce its mid-to-low standing. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1061, and its Passmark G3D score is 12871. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 51029 and Vulkan score of 5827 indicate decent compute capability, but the DirectX 12 Passmark score of just 51 shows weakness in modern API workloads. The GTX 1660 Ti lacks dedicated ray tracing and tensor cores, which is expected for its generation, but it does support DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

For Fivem specifically, the GPU’s role is to handle the game’s draw calls and shader work. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 122 FPS, indicating the GPU can push high frame rates when the load is light. However, at 4K High, it drops to 28 FPS, showing that the card quickly runs out of headroom as pixel count increases. The GPU’s 5.437 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 169.9 GTexel/s texture rate are simply insufficient for 4K gaming in this title.

Q: What FPS can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo averages 60 FPS. This is the minimum threshold for smooth gameplay, but the lack of min/max data for this setting means frame pacing could vary. For a more stable experience, Medium settings at 97 FPS average are recommended.

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the combo averages 28 FPS on High, 35 FPS on Medium, 45 FPS on Low, and 22 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting shows a min of 30 FPS and max of 41 FPS, indicating significant frame drops. None of these averages are suitable for competitive or smooth multiplayer play.

Q: Does the CPU’s 8-core/16-thread configuration matter for Fivem?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700 has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This configuration is more than sufficient for Fivem’s CPU demands, but the GPU limits overall performance. The CPU’s single-thread score of 901 in 3DMark and 2916 in Cinebench R23 suggest it is not the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of what this combo can achieve across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system performs admirably at lower settings. Low settings yield an average of 122 FPS, Medium settings produce 97 FPS (with min 82 and max 111), High settings reach 77 FPS, and Ultra drops to 60 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot, offering playable frame rates even at the highest quality preset.

At 2560x1440, performance takes a significant hit. Low settings average 81 FPS, which is still smooth, but Medium drops to 64 FPS (min 54, max 73), High falls to 51 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 39 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30-40% performance across settings, highlighting the GPU’s limitations as pixel count rises.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 45 FPS, Medium averages 35 FPS (min 30, max 41), High averages 28 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. The min FPS of 30 on Medium shows that even at this setting, the system can dip below acceptable levels during intense scenes. The data indicates that 4K is not a viable option for this pairing in Fivem.

The Ultra settings at each resolution show the GPU’s ceiling: 60 FPS at 1080p, 39 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K. The Medium settings provide the most balanced experience, but only at 1080p does it exceed 90 FPS. For players prioritizing frame rate, Low settings at 1080p deliver the highest average at 122 FPS, though this sacrifices visual quality.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is severe, and the pattern reveals the GPU as the dominant bottleneck. At Low settings, the combo averages 122 FPS at 1080p, 81 FPS at 1440p, and 45 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is roughly linear with pixel count, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario.

At Medium settings, the averages are 97 FPS at 1080p, 64 FPS at 1440p, and 35 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%. High settings show 77 FPS at 1080p, 51 FPS at 1440p, and 28 FPS at 4K, with similar percentage drops. Ultra settings follow the same trend: 60 FPS at 1080p, 39 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K.

This consistent pattern across all settings indicates that the limiting component is the GPU, not the CPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see diminishing returns as resolution increases, with FPS staying relatively flat. Instead, the FPS drops proportionally with pixel count, confirming the GTX 1660 Ti is the primary constraint. The CPU’s strong performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916, ensures it can feed the GPU enough data, but the GPU cannot keep up at higher resolutions.

The practical implication is that players should target 1080p for a smooth experience. At 1440p, only Low settings provide frame rates above 60 FPS, and at 4K, no setting achieves even 50 FPS. The resolution scaling data suggests that upgrading the GPU would yield significant gains, but with this current pairing, resolution compromises are necessary for acceptable performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 architecture processor built on a 7 nm process, with 8 cores and 16 threads. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 65W. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, AI, and physics calculations, which in a multiplayer title can be substantial. The Ryzen 7 5700’s benchmark scores show it is well-equipped for this task. Its 3DMark 16-thread score is 6628, and its max-thread score is 6617, while the single-thread score is 901. Cinebench R23 results show a multicore score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916. Passmark multithread score is 24303, with a single-thread score of 3296.

These numbers position the CPU well above the GPU in relative performance. The CPU’s percentile rank of 78 among all CPUs contrasts sharply with the GPU’s 41st percentile. The nearest CPU rivals are all within 0.3% of the Ryzen 7 5700’s average score, confirming it is a solid mid-range processor. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530) is 0.1% higher, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550) is 0.1% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485) is 0.1% lower.

In practical Fivem terms, the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom for the game’s multi-threaded workloads. The 4.60 GHz boost clock ensures strong single-thread performance, which is critical for games that rely on a primary thread. However, the measured FPS data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 122 FPS, which is well above what the GPU can sustain at higher settings, indicating the CPU can push far beyond the GPU’s capabilities.

The CPU’s L3 cache of 16 MB and Zen 3 architecture contribute to efficient data handling, but this advantage is masked by the GPU bottleneck. For players considering upgrades, the data suggests keeping the Ryzen 7 5700 and replacing the GTX 1660 Ti would yield the most significant performance gains. The CPU has room to support a much stronger GPU without becoming a constraint, as evidenced by its high percentile ranking and benchmark scores relative to the GPU.
