# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G + AMD Radeon RX 9060

The combination of AMD's Ryzen 7 5700G processor and Radeon RX 9060 graphics card delivers a distinctive performance profile in Fivem, a multiplayer title that demands both strong CPU throughput for simulation logic and capable GPU rendering for dense urban environments. The measured FPS data across resolutions and settings reveals a system that scales predictably with graphical load, but with notable characteristics that separate it from the broader benchmark pool. This analysis examines the raw measurements, contextualizes them against the hardware's theoretical capabilities, and explores what the numbers indicate about where bottlenecks emerge in this specific pairing.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K in Fivem follows a clear and consistent pattern across all four settings presets. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 111 FPS at 1920x1080 to 73 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 40 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 34% reduction when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45% reduction when stepping up to 4K. The total decline from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 64%, which indicates that the rendering pipeline becomes progressively more demanding as pixel count increases.

Low settings show the most dramatic absolute numbers but a similar relative trajectory: 175 FPS at 1080p, 115 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 44%. Medium settings follow with 138 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 50 FPS at 4K — reductions of 34% and 45% respectively. Ultra settings produce 86 FPS at 1080p, 56 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K, with percentage drops of 35% and 45%.

The remarkable consistency in these scaling percentages across all settings presets suggests that Fivem's rendering load scales nearly linearly with pixel count. The fact that the proportional drop from 1080p to 1440p is virtually identical to the drop from 1440p to 4K (around 34-35% and 44-45% respectively) indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the scaling would flatten out at higher resolutions as the GPU became less utilized. Instead, the data shows a smooth, predictable degradation that is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at 4K and increasingly GPU-bound at 1440p.

At 1080p, however, the picture becomes more nuanced. The gap between Low (175 FPS) and Ultra (86 FPS) settings is 89 FPS, which is a larger absolute spread than at higher resolutions. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at lower settings, allowing the graphics card to stretch its legs. The fact that Ultra settings at 1080p (86 FPS) are only slightly higher than High settings at 1440p (73 FPS) reinforces the idea that pixel throughput is the dominant constraint once resolution climbs.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock reaches 2990 MHz, with a game clock of 2400 MHz. These specifications position the card in the 59th percentile of all GPUs based on average benchmark scores. The GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 0.7% higher, and the AMD Radeon R9 370X, which scores 1% lower. The RX 9060 also sits close to the AMD Radeon RX 7700, which trails by 1%.

In Fivem, the 8 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient even at 4K Ultra settings, where the average FPS drops to 31. The memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s is likely a contributing factor to the smooth scaling observed across resolutions. At 1080p Ultra, the GPU produces 86 FPS, which is a respectable figure for a card in the 59th percentile. The card's 1792 shading units and 64 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s, which explains why the GPU can maintain playable frame rates at 1440p Medium (91 FPS) and even 4K Low (64 FPS).

The RX 9060's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility are relevant for Fivem, which leverages modern graphics APIs. The card's 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is a strong indicator of raw compute capability, and the benchmark results show this translating into playable performance across most settings. However, the 4K Ultra result of 31 FPS suggests that the card's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus begin to strain under maximum load at the highest resolution, likely due to memory bandwidth limitations rather than raw shader throughput.

This tight clustering around both components indicates that the combo's mid-tier ranking is a reflection of its constituent parts' positions in the broader market.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across twelve distinct configurations. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 175 FPS on Low settings, 138 FPS on Medium, 111 FPS on High, and 86 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset includes a minimum FPS of 117 and a maximum of 159, showing a 42 FPS variance during gameplay. At this resolution, even the Ultra preset maintains a playable 86 FPS, and the Low preset exceeds 144 Hz displays' capabilities.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same settings presets yield 115 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium, 73 FPS on High, and 56 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset's min and max FPS are 77 and 105 respectively, indicating a 28 FPS range. The 1440p results show that High settings remain comfortably above 60 FPS, while Ultra dips below that threshold. At 3840x2160, performance drops to 64 FPS on Low, 50 FPS on Medium, 40 FPS on High, and 31 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 4K has a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 58 FPS, which is a 15 FPS range.

The pattern across resolutions reveals that the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 89 FPS; at 1440p, it's 59 FPS; at 4K, it's 33 FPS. This narrowing absolute spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor, reducing the impact of settings changes that affect shader complexity rather than pixel count.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU's benchmark scores include a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 12830.5 and a single-core score of 1494, along with a Geekbench multicore score of 9950 and single-core score of 1894. The 3DMark results show strong scaling from 899 in single-thread to 6629 in 16-thread tests, indicating good multithreaded performance.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is evident in the 1080p performance. The fact that Low settings at 1080p reach 175 FPS suggests the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower graphical loads. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample processing power for the game's simulation and multiplayer networking logic. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking against all CPUs indicates it is a strong performer, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K, which scores 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core i7-1370P, which scores 0.6% higher.

The 16 MB L3 cache and 7 nm process node contribute to the CPU's efficiency. The PassMark multithread score of 24419 and single-thread score of 3283 further confirm its capability. However, the CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface (16 lanes) may limit bandwidth to the GPU compared to newer Gen 4 or Gen 5 platforms. Despite this, the measured FPS shows that at 1080p, the CPU is not a limiting factor, as evidenced by the high frame rates at Low settings. The bottleneck shifts to the GPU as resolution increases, which is typical for games where pixel throughput dominates.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 111 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The Ultra preset at 86 FPS is still smooth for most users, but the 25 FPS difference between High and Ultra may not justify the visual gains for competitive play. The Medium preset at 138 FPS offers a strong balance for those seeking maximum responsiveness, though the 117 FPS minimum suggests some dips under load.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 73 FPS is the recommended choice for a smooth experience, as it stays above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at 91 FPS provides additional headroom for displays with refresh rates above 60 Hz, while the Ultra preset at 56 FPS dips below 60 and may introduce noticeable stutter. The Low preset at 115 FPS is excessive for most 1440p displays and sacrifices visual quality unnecessarily.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset at 64 FPS is the only option that maintains an average above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 50 FPS is playable but may feel less responsive, and the High preset at 40 FPS is borderline. The Ultra preset at 31 FPS is not recommended for a playable experience at 4K. Given the data, the best experience at 4K would be Low settings, while 1440p High offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, and 1080p Ultra provides a high-quality experience without sacrificing smoothness.
