Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER produces a spread of frame rates in Fivem that clearly delineates the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions. The data shows a pronounced scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions, with the most significant drop occurring between 1440p and 4K. At 1080p, the combination delivers playable performance, but the transition to 4K places the GTX 1660 SUPER under heavy strain.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent decline as resolution increases, which is expected, but the magnitude of the drop reveals the limiting component. At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 125.4 FPS, but this falls to 82.3 FPS at 1440p Low, and further to 43.6 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 34.4% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 47% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The pattern is similar across all settings, indicating that the scaling is resolution-bound rather than setting-bound.

At High settings, the frame rate drops from 78.4 FPS at 1080p to 54.2 FPS at 1440p, and then to 29.4 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result is particularly telling, as it falls below the 30 FPS threshold often considered the minimum for smooth gameplay. The 4K Ultra setting produces 25.1 FPS, which is the lowest figure in the entire dataset. This scaling behavior suggests that the GTX 1660 SUPER's 6 GB VRAM and 192-bit memory bus are being saturated at 4K, causing the sharp performance cliff between 1440p and 4K.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings also widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (125.4 FPS) and Ultra (59.8 FPS) is 65.6 FPS. At 1440p, the difference narrows to 42.3 FPS (82.3 vs 40). At 4K, the difference is only 18.5 FPS (43.6 vs 25.1). This compression of the settings range at 4K indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as increasing settings has diminishing impact when the resolution alone already overwhelms the graphics processor.

GPU Role

The GTX 1660 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU116 chip, featuring 1408 shading units, 88 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. Its clock speeds are 1530 MHz base and 1785 MHz boost, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications place the GPU at the 55th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 14286.

The benchmark results for the GPU show its compute capabilities: in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 1278, while Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 62664 and 59933 respectively. Passmark results include a G3D score of 12699 and a GPU compute score of 5076. These numbers indicate a mid-range GPU that is well-suited for 1080p gaming but struggles at higher resolutions, which aligns with the measured FPS data in Fivem.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 with an average score of 14314 and a delta of -0.2%, the Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics at 14315 (-0.2%), and the AMD Radeon Vega 11 at 14352 (-0.5%). The AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT scores 14389, representing a -0.7% delta. These closely grouped scores show that the GTX 1660 SUPER sits in a competitive segment where small performance differences separate products.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800XT and GTX 1660 SUPER ranks 1530 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 15th percentile of all tested configurations. This low ranking is notable given the CPU's strong benchmark scores. The Ryzen 7 5800XT achieves an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 29774, yet the combo ranking drops dramatically due to the GPU's limitations.

The CPU's benchmark scores are robust: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 23794, while single-core scores 3359. Passmark multithread scores 27988, and single-thread performance is 3538. The 3DMark results show 7683 for 16 threads and 7680 for max threads. These figures demonstrate that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this pairing, but rather the GPU holds back the overall combo performance in Fivem.

The delta between the combo rank and the individual component rankings highlights a significant imbalance. A CPU ranking at the 86th percentile combined with a GPU at the 55th percentile yields a combo rank at the 15th percentile, indicating that Fivem is heavily GPU-dependent and that the GTX 1660 SUPER cannot leverage the full potential of the Ryzen 7 5800XT.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 125.4 FPS, Medium settings achieve 98.3 FPS, High settings reach 78.4 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 59.8 FPS. These figures show that 1080p gaming is viable across all settings, with even Ultra maintaining near-60 FPS performance.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates decline noticeably. Low settings yield 82.3 FPS, Medium settings produce 65.1 FPS, High settings achieve 54.2 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 40 FPS. The 1440p results remain playable for most settings, but Ultra dips to exactly 40 FPS, which may be borderline for some users.

At 4K, the system struggles significantly. Low settings produce 43.6 FPS, Medium settings achieve 36.9 FPS, High settings drop to 29.4 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 25.1 FPS. Only the Low setting manages to stay above 40 FPS, while High and Ultra fall below the 30 FPS threshold. The 4K Ultra result of 25.1 FPS represents the worst-case scenario in the dataset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a TDP of 105 W. The processor features a 32 MB L3 cache, with 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core. It supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance. Cinebench R15 multicore scores 2398, while single-core reaches 338. Cinebench R20 produces 9993 multicore and 1410 single-core. The 3DMark results show 3603 for 4 threads, 6141 for 8 threads, and 7683 for 16 threads. Passmark tests show data compression at 350154, data encryption at 21370, and integer math at 93997.

In Fivem, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU bottleneck dominates at higher resolutions, but at 1080p Low settings, the 125.4 FPS result suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately. The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS at -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at 0.3%. These close deltas indicate that the 5800XT performs consistently within its peer group.
