Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rate data for Fivem covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with the most complete data available for Medium settings where minimum and maximum frame rates are recorded.

At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 175 FPS on Low, 138 FPS on Medium, 111 FPS on High, and 86 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS, indicating reasonable frame time consistency. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 89 FPS drop, with each settings tier reducing performance by roughly 25-27 FPS.

The 2560x1440 results show 115 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium, 73 FPS on High, and 56 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset records a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 59 FPS, with the step from Medium to High costing 18 FPS and the step from High to Ultra costing 17 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates fall to 64 FPS on Low, 50 FPS on Medium, 40 FPS on High, and 31 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 58 FPS. This resolution demonstrates the steepest performance degradation, with Ultra settings delivering less than half the frame rate of Low settings.

The overall pattern across all resolutions shows consistent scaling: each settings tier costs approximately 20-30% of the previous tier's performance. The Medium preset consistently provides the mid-point between Low and Ultra, making it a balanced choice for players seeking both visual quality and responsive gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the RX 9060 becomes the limiting component as resolution increases. At High settings, the transition from 1920x1080 (111 FPS) to 2560x1440 (73 FPS) represents a 34% performance drop, while moving from 1440p to 3840x2160 (40 FPS) costs another 45% of the frame rate. This steep decline indicates that the GPU's 8 GB memory and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K workloads.

The Low settings preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with 175 FPS at 1080p dropping to 115 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 64 FPS at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p). This suggests that even at minimal graphical load, the GPU's memory subsystem cannot sustain high frame rates at 4K.

Medium settings follow a similar pattern: 138 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 50 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% and 45% respectively, matching the High settings pattern closely. Ultra settings show 86 FPS at 1080p, 56 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K, representing 35% and 45% reductions.

The consistent 34-35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 44-45% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicates that resolution scaling is the dominant factor. The CPU's strong single-thread and multithread scores suggest it can keep pace with the GPU's demands, but the RX 9060's mid-range positioning means 4K gaming requires significant settings compromises to maintain acceptable frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080 gaming, the High preset at 111 FPS average offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. Players seeking maximum smoothness can use Low settings for 175 FPS, while those prioritizing image quality can push Ultra at 86 FPS, which remains playable. The Medium preset at 138 FPS provides a strong middle ground with good frame time consistency (117-159 FPS range).

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 73 FPS average, which is suitable for most multiplayer scenarios. The Medium preset at 91 FPS offers better headroom for demanding moments, with a minimum of 77 FPS ensuring smoother gameplay in crowded areas. Low settings at 115 FPS provide the most competitive advantage, while Ultra at 56 FPS is borderline for fast-paced multiplayer action.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset at 64 FPS is the only configuration that maintains playable performance. Medium at 50 FPS and High at 40 FPS may be acceptable for less demanding scenarios, but the Ultra preset at 31 FPS falls below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The measured minimum of 43 FPS on Medium settings suggests that even this preset can experience frame drops in intense moments.

The data supports choosing Medium settings at 1440p as the optimal configuration for this hardware combination, offering 91 FPS average with a 77-105 FPS range. This provides sufficient visual fidelity while maintaining the frame rate headroom necessary for Fivem's multiplayer environments where other players and dynamic events can cause performance fluctuations.
