Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a playable but resolution-sensitive experience in Fivem, with the data showing a clear transition from a GPU-bound state at 4K to a more balanced load at 1080p. The measured frame rates indicate that this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it maintains solid performance across all settings, while 4K demands significant compromises to stay fluid.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, revealing that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 156.7 FPS at 1920x1080 to 106 FPS at 2560x1440, a 32.4% reduction, and then plummets to 58 FPS at 3840x2160, a further 45.3% decline. This pattern strongly indicates that the GPU’s pixel-pushing capability is exhausted as resolution increases, with the 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth struggling to feed the larger framebuffers.

The scaling is even more pronounced at Ultra settings, where the average drops from 75.4 FPS at 1080p to 49.2 FPS at 1440p (a 34.7% loss) and then to 30.1 FPS at 4K (a 38.8% further drop). The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution: at 1080p, Ultra is 51.9% slower than Low, but at 4K, the deficit grows to 48.1% slower, suggesting the GPU is so saturated that even reducing settings yields diminishing returns. The data shows that the Ryzen 7 9700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is not the bottleneck here; the consistent frame rate collapses across all presets point squarely at the RTX 2060 SUPER’s 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 64 ROPs.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the High preset delivers an average of 36.8 FPS, which is borderline playable but not smooth. Dropping to Medium improves this to 47.5 FPS, a 29.1% uplift, while Low reaches 58 FPS. Given the steep cost of Ultra (30.1 FPS), the data suggests Medium is the sweet spot at 3840x2160, offering a 57.8% improvement over Ultra while maintaining visual fidelity above the bare minimum.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 67.2 FPS, which is comfortable for most gameplay, but Medium pushes to 84.9 FPS, a 26.3% gain. The Low preset hits 106 FPS, making it ideal for competitive scenarios. The Ultra preset at 49.2 FPS is playable but falls below the 60 FPS threshold, so the data recommends High as the best balance for 1440p, with Medium as a strong alternative for those prioritizing higher frame rates.

At 1920x1080, High delivers 97.9 FPS, which is excellent, and Medium reaches 124.8 FPS. Low hits 156.7 FPS, providing a substantial margin for high-refresh-rate displays. Ultra at 75.4 FPS is still very smooth, so the data indicates that 1080p is the only resolution where Ultra is fully viable. For the best experience per the measured rows, High at 1440p offers the optimal combination of visual quality and performance, while 1080p Ultra is the choice for maximum fidelity without sacrificing fluidity.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, built on the Turing architecture with a 12 nm process, features 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for Fivem’s texture-heavy multiplayer environments. The GPU’s boost clock of 1650 MHz and base clock of 1470 MHz are modest by modern standards, and the benchmark results reflect this: the GPU scores 16462 in Passmark G3D, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs.

The data shows that the RTX 2060 SUPER’s memory bandwidth is a key constraint at 4K. The 8 GB frame buffer is sufficient for most scenarios, but the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor when rendering at 3840x2160, where the fill rate demands are high. The GPU’s pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, these figures are insufficient to maintain high frame rates, as evidenced by the 36.8 FPS average at High settings.

The FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS is a clear indicator of the GPU’s mid-range positioning. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 2060 SUPER scores 0.3% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN and 0.5% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, showing it sits in a tight competitive cluster. In Fivem, this translates to a GPU that can handle 1440p with ease but requires settings reductions at 4K to remain playable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its best results. Low settings average 156.7 FPS, Medium averages 124.8 FPS, High averages 97.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 75.4 FPS. These numbers indicate a 51.9% performance gap between Low and Ultra, showing that the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 106 FPS at Low, 84.9 FPS at Medium, 67.2 FPS at High, and 49.2 FPS at Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 53.6%, slightly larger than at 1080p, confirming the GPU is becoming more stressed. At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 58 FPS at Low, 47.5 FPS at Medium, 36.8 FPS at High, and 30.1 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 48.1%, which is smaller than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is so saturated that even reducing settings cannot fully compensate for the pixel count.

The data reveals that the jump from 1440p to 4K is the most punishing, with High settings dropping from 67.2 FPS to 36.8 FPS, a 45.2% reduction. This is a critical threshold for users, as 4K High falls below the 40 FPS mark, which many consider the minimum for a smooth experience. The 1080p to 1440p transition is more manageable, with High settings dropping from 97.9 FPS to 67.2 FPS, a 31.4% reduction that still leaves the game playable.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combos for Fivem, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1292 out of 1792 combinations. This places it in the 72nd percentile, indicating that it outperforms roughly 28% of tested systems but is outclassed by a significant majority. The ranking reflects the GPU’s mid-range status; the CPU is a top-tier performer, sitting in the 89th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 36029, but the GPU’s 63rd percentile ranking drags the overall combo down.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14500HX, which scores 0.2% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, which scores 0.6% lower. This shows the 9700X is highly competitive in CPU-bound scenarios, but in Fivem, the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The GPU’s nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070, scores 0.5% lower, highlighting that the 2060 SUPER is nearly on par with its more expensive sibling, yet both are outmatched by newer generations.

Given that this combo ranks in the bottom half of tested systems, the data suggests it is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but will struggle at 4K. Users seeking higher 4K performance would need a more powerful GPU, as the CPU is unlikely to be the bottleneck in this title.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is a Zen 5 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, built on a 4 nm process. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz are high for a 65 W TDP part, and the 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps with multiplayer scenarios where many entities are active. The CPU’s benchmark results are strong: it scores 31588 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4459 in single-core, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, physics, and entity management, which are often heavily threaded in multiplayer modes. The 3dmark scores show a scaling from 2525 in 2-thread tests to 9771 in max-thread tests, indicating efficient multi-threading. The Passmark multithread score of 37161 and floating point math score of 78999 further confirm its capability.

However, the measured frame rates show that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 156.7 FPS, which is well above typical display refresh rates, and the frame rate drops consistently as resolution increases, pointing to GPU saturation. The CPU’s 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and DDR5 support ensure it can feed the GPU without stalling, but the RTX 2060 SUPER’s 448.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes the constraint at higher resolutions.

The CPU’s nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14500HX, scores 0.2% higher in average benchmarks, but this difference is negligible in gaming. The Ryzen 7 9700X’s boost clock of 5.50 GHz gives it a single-thread advantage that is beneficial for Fivem’s server-side processing, though the data suggests that even a weaker CPU would not significantly change the frame rates at 4K, given the GPU’s limitations.
