# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

The data reveals a pairing that behaves unusually for a modern multiplayer title: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Radeon RX 6800 XT combination exhibits a massive performance spread across resolutions, with the 1080p Low preset reaching 239.6 FPS while 4K Ultra drops to 44.5 FPS. This 5.4x gap between the fastest and slowest measured settings suggests the system transitions from a CPU-bound state at lower resolutions to a heavily GPU-bound state at 4K, a pattern worth investigating given the RX 6800 XT's substantial compute resources. The combo ranks 625th out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the 65th percentile overall, which is respectable but not elite for a high-end GPU paired with a capable 8-core processor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and consistent across all settings presets. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 239.6 FPS at 1920x1080 to 86.5 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a 63.9% reduction. Medium settings show a similar trajectory: 190.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 71.2 FPS at 4K, a 62.6% decline. High settings scale from 149.6 FPS to 55.1 FPS, a 63.2% reduction, while Ultra goes from 120.4 FPS to 44.5 FPS, a 63.0% decrease.

These remarkably consistent percentage drops — all hovering around 63% regardless of preset — indicate that resolution scaling is primarily determined by pixel count rather than settings complexity. The RX 6800 XT's 512.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 128 ROPs become the limiting factors at 4K, as the rendering workload quadruples from 1080p. The fact that even Low settings at 4K (86.5 FPS) cannot approach the 1080p Low result (239.6 FPS) suggests the GPU is fully saturated at higher resolutions, while at 1080p the Ryzen 7 5700G's single-thread performance becomes the bottleneck.

The 1440p results sit almost exactly midway between the two extremes. Low settings at 2560x1440 produce 158.7 FPS, while Ultra yields 75.6 FPS. This linear scaling pattern implies that Fivem is not unusually demanding on any specific hardware component — rather, it responds predictably to the total rendering load.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 625 out of 1792 tested configurations, this pairing sits comfortably in the upper-middle tier of all combinations. This ranking reflects a system that delivers high frame rates in absolute terms, particularly at 1080p where it exceeds 120 FPS on every preset including Ultra. However, the rank also indicates that many other combinations achieve higher average performance across the full test matrix.

The Ryzen 7 5700G's CPU benchmark scores help contextualize this ranking. Its average benchmark score of 25626 places it at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (25706, 0.3% ahead) and Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25532, 0.4% behind). The GPU's average score of 49982 sits at the 87th percentile among GPUs, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER trailing by 2.6% and the NVIDIA RTX A1000 leading by 1.7%. Both components are strong individually, but their combined rank suggests Fivem's specific workload does not fully leverage the RX 6800 XT's capabilities at lower resolutions.

The 65th percentile combo ranking, when compared to the 83rd percentile CPU and 87th percentile GPU standings, reveals a notable inefficiency. This gap implies that either the game is not optimized to use the full thread count of the 5700G (8 cores, 16 threads) or that the RX 6800 XT's potential is constrained by the CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface, which offers half the bandwidth of the GPU's native PCIe 4.0 x16 connection.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6800 XT brings substantial resources to this pairing: 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus providing 512.0 GB/s bandwidth, 4608 shading units, 288 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. The chip runs at a base clock of 1825 MHz, a game clock of 2015 MHz, and a boost clock of 2250 MHz, with memory operating at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective).

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p, the frame rates across settings (120.4 to 239.6 FPS) suggest the GPU has ample headroom, and the performance differences between presets reflect CPU-side limitations. At 4K, however, the GPU's raw throughput becomes the determining factor. The 44.5 FPS at Ultra settings indicates that the combination of 4K resolution and maximum detail exceeds the card's comfortable operating range for this game.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is unlikely to be a limiting factor in Fivem, as even at 4K Ultra the game's memory footprint rarely approaches this threshold. The GPU's 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49982, confirms it is a high-performing part that should excel in most titles. The PassMark G3D score of 24980 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3689 provide additional evidence of strong compute capabilities that translate well to demanding scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce 239.6 FPS, Medium 190.4 FPS, High 149.6 FPS, and Ultra 120.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 49.7% performance penalty for maximum visual fidelity, which is moderate for a multiplayer title where competitive players often favor lower settings for higher frame rates.

The 2560x1440 results demonstrate a clear step down. Low settings yield 158.7 FPS, Medium 127.7 FPS, High 98.6 FPS, and Ultra 75.6 FPS. The percentage drops from 1080p are 33.7% for Low, 32.9% for Medium, 34.1% for High, and 37.2% for Ultra. This slightly larger penalty at Ultra settings indicates the GPU is starting to feel the load at 1440p with maximum detail.

At 3840x2160, the system still maintains playable frame rates. Low settings achieve 86.5 FPS, Medium 71.2 FPS, High 55.1 FPS, and Ultra 44.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 48.6%, nearly identical to the 1080p spread, but the absolute numbers place 4K Ultra below the 60 FPS threshold commonly desired for smooth gameplay. The 1440p Ultra result of 75.6 FPS represents the highest resolution and settings combination that maintains comfortable frame rates above 60 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features 16 MB of L3 cache, 64 KB L1 per core, and 512 KB L2 per core, with a dual-channel DDR4 memory interface providing 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The 7 nm process node from TSMC houses 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die.

In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p where frame rates exceed 120 FPS across all settings. The 5700G's single-thread performance — evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and PassMark single-thread score of 3283 — becomes the limiting factor at these high frame rates. The 16 threads ensure that multiplayer scenarios with many players and entities do not cause stuttering, as the multi-threaded performance is strong: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and PassMark multithread score of 24419.

The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25626, indicates it performs well above the median. However, the 5700G's integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are not utilized in this configuration, and the PCIe Gen 3 interface (16 lanes) may slightly constrain the RX 6800 XT compared to a PCIe 4.0 platform. The 65W TDP suggests efficient operation, and the unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking potential that could improve the already strong 1080p performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to 1920x1080 with Medium settings as the most balanced configuration for this system in Fivem. At this combination, the system delivers 190.4 FPS — a 79% improvement over High settings at the same resolution, while still maintaining visual quality that is far superior to Low. For players with 144Hz monitors, 1440p High at 98.6 FPS provides an excellent experience, though those seeking maximum smoothness should opt for 1440p Low at 158.7 FPS.

For 4K gaming, the recommendation is Low settings at 86.5 FPS, as this is the only 4K preset that maintains frame rates above 60 FPS with reasonable consistency. Medium at 4K (71.2 FPS) is also viable for players who prioritize visual detail over a strict 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset at any resolution above 1080p should be avoided: 1440p Ultra drops to 75.6 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 44.5 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. At 1080p, Ultra at 120.4 FPS remains playable and is the recommended choice for players who want maximum visual fidelity while retaining triple-digit frame rates.
