Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title, and the measured results for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT show a clear performance curve across resolutions and settings. The data indicates a system that is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but one that will require careful settings management for smooth 4K play. The average frame rates across twelve distinct test scenarios provide a comprehensive view of this combo's capabilities.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p with Low settings, this system produces an average of 158.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings, the average falls to 104.5 FPS, and at 4K it drops further to 57.8 FPS. This progression shows a heavy reliance on the GPU as the resolution increases.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets. At High settings, the frame rate goes from 101.1 FPS at 1080p to 68.3 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 37.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a significant 63% loss in average FPS from 1080p to 4K at High settings. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is doing more of the heavy lifting, as the frame rates are high enough that the graphics card isn't the sole limiting factor. However, as pixel count increases, the RX 6600 XT's workload becomes more demanding, and the performance curve steepens.

The shift in bottleneck is evident when comparing the frame rate deltas between resolutions. From 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, the average FPS drops by 54 FPS. From 1440p to 4K at the same settings, the drop is 46.7 FPS. This is a relatively even decline, indicating that both resolutions are still somewhat manageable. However, at Ultra settings, the 1080p to 1440p drop is 27 FPS, while the 1440p to 4K drop is 23.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 26.7 FPS is particularly telling, showing the GPU is completely saturated and the experience becomes marginal.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows suggest that Ultra settings are not a viable option for this combo at any resolution. The 4K Ultra average of 26.7 FPS is below playable thresholds, and even at 1080p Ultra, the 77.5 FPS average, while smooth, comes at a significant cost to headroom. The performance data indicates that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users.

At 1440p, High settings deliver a solid 68.3 FPS average, which is a sweet spot for this hardware. This provides a smooth experience without the steep performance penalty of Ultra. For those with 1080p displays, High settings at 101.1 FPS is excellent, leaving ample headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios. The Medium preset is a viable alternative for 4K, where it produces 46.6 FPS, a notable improvement over the 37.3 FPS of High settings, though still not ideal for fast-paced action.

The Low preset is the only way to approach a stable 60 FPS at 4K, with a 57.8 FPS average. However, the visual compromises are significant. The data clearly shows that the best experience is found at 1440p with the High preset, or at 1080p with High or Medium settings for those who prioritize higher frame rates. The 1440p Medium result of 81.1 FPS is also a strong choice for users who want a bit more performance headroom.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 4K?

A: Yes, but with limitations. At 4K with High settings, the average FPS is 37.3, which is playable but not smooth. To get closer to 60 FPS, you must drop to Low settings, where the average is 57.8 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K are not recommended, as the average is only 26.7 FPS.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: The data suggests 2560x1440 is the optimal resolution. It provides a strong balance between visual detail and performance, with High settings yielding a 68.3 FPS average and Medium settings achieving 81.1 FPS. This is a significant step up from the 1080p results without the severe performance drop seen at 4K.

Q: How much of a performance difference is there between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The difference is substantial. At 1080p, Low settings produce an average of 158.5 FPS, while Ultra settings produce an average of 77.5 FPS. This shows that the Ultra preset costs roughly half the frame rate compared to Low.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this game?

A: The bottleneck shifts depending on resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates (up to 158.5 FPS on Low) suggest the CPU is more involved. As resolution increases to 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor, as evidenced by the significant drop in average FPS.

Q: Is the High settings preset a good choice for 1440p?

A: Yes. The 1440p High preset delivers a 68.3 FPS average, which is a solid target for a smooth multiplayer experience. It offers a noticeable visual improvement over Medium while maintaining a playable frame rate.

Q: How does the 1080p Medium result compare to the 1440p High result?

A: The 1080p Medium preset averages 124.3 FPS, which is significantly higher than the 1440p High preset's 68.3 FPS. This shows that the resolution scaling has a major impact on performance, and the settings preset has less of an effect than dropping the resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT holds a rank of 1296 out of 1792 combos. This places it in the lower-middle portion of all tested systems. This rank is determined by the measured frame rates across all tested settings and resolutions.

The CPU itself is a strong performer, with an average benchmark score of 26214. Its nearest rivals show how close the competition is at this performance level. The Intel Core i9-11900KF has an average score of 26196, a delta of 0.1%, meaning the Ryzen 7 5700X is essentially tied with it. Similarly, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X scores 26272, a delta of -0.2%. This indicates that the CPU is not a weak point in the combo.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 27985. Its closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti with a score of 27956, a delta of 0.1%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 scores 28238, which is -0.9% delta from the RX 6600 XT. While the GPU is capable, its performance is not exceptional, and this likely contributes to the combo's overall rank. The system's standing suggests it is a mid-tier configuration for Fivem, capable of good performance but not competing with higher-end hardware.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is central to this system's performance. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1968 MHz and a boost clock of 2589 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz. These specifications directly influence the frame rates seen in the data.

The GPU's memory capacity is a key factor. The 8 GB frame buffer is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but at 4K, it can become a limiting factor as textures and assets demand more memory. This is reflected in the performance data, where the 4K results show a significant drop compared to 1440p. The card's 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs are also key determinants of its pixel and texture processing power.

The data shows a clear relationship between the GPU's workload and the average FPS. As the settings increase from Low to Ultra, the frame rate decreases consistently across all resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly overwhelmed, resulting in the lowest measured average of 26.7 FPS. The performance scaling indicates that the RX 6600 XT is a solid 1080p and 1440p card, but it is not designed for high-fidelity 4K gaming in a demanding title like Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates is as follows:

1920x1080:

• Low: 158.5 FPS average
• Medium: 124.3 FPS average
• High: 101.1 FPS average
• Ultra: 77.5 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 104.5 FPS average
• Medium: 81.1 FPS average

• High: 37.3 FPS average
• Ultra: 26.7 FPS average

These numbers illustrate a clear performance hierarchy. The best result is at 1080p Low with 158.5 FPS, while the worst is at 4K Ultra with 26.7 FPS. The data shows a consistent pattern: for every resolution, the Low preset offers the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, High, and finally Ultra. The performance gaps between presets are significant, with the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p being 81 FPS. The 1440p results offer a range from 50.5 FPS to 104.5 FPS, giving users a good range of options. The 4K results are all below 60 FPS, with only the Low preset coming close to that threshold.
