Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 produces a distinct performance profile in Fivem. The data shows a system that is heavily influenced by both the CPU’s massive multi-threading capacity and the GPU’s 6 GB VRAM allocation. The measured frame rates reveal a clear hierarchy across resolutions and settings, with the RTX 2060 becoming the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions while the Ryzen 9 5950X provides ample headroom at 1080p.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the defining component for this system’s Fivem performance, particularly as resolution increases. The GPU is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip and features 1920 shading units. Its memory configuration consists of 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, offering a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s. The base clock is 1365 MHz with a boost clock of 1680 MHz. These specifications place the GPU in the 58th percentile of all GPUs, with a Passmark G3D score of 14111.

The 6 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor in Fivem’s high-resolution performance. The data shows a steep decline in frame rates as resolution scales up, which is consistent with the GPU hitting its memory capacity limits. At 2560x1440, the GPU manages an average of 62.9 FPS on High settings, but this falls to 33.7 FPS at 3840x2160 under the same preset. The 336.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the GPU can push frame rates above 60 FPS on Medium and High settings, but the 4K results suggest the VRAM buffer is being saturated.

The RTX 2060’s performance relative to its rivals is tight. It sits just 0.5% above the AMD Radeon RX 7600S, which scores 15996, and 1.8% above the AMD Radeon Pro W5500, which scores 15786. However, it is 1.7% behind both the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M and the AMD Radeon Pro 5700, which each score 16351. This indicates that the RTX 2060 is a mid-range performer in the current database, and its role in Fivem is to deliver playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, while struggling at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data illustrates a clear and consistent scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates strong performance across all settings, ranging from 72.1 FPS on Ultra to 146.3 FPS on Low. Moving up to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop by a predictable margin: High falls from 89.6 to 62.9 FPS, Medium from 116.1 to 73.9 FPS, and Low from 146.3 to 95.3 FPS. This represents roughly a 30% reduction in average FPS when moving from 1080p to 1440p, which is a typical scaling factor for a GPU-bound scenario.

The transition to 3840x2160 reveals a more severe penalty. At 4K, the High preset drops to 33.7 FPS, which is a 46% reduction from the 1440p High result of 62.9 FPS. Similarly, Low settings fall from 95.3 to 53.7 FPS, a 44% drop. This accelerated decline at 4K points to the GPU becoming the limiting component. The CPU, with its 16 cores and 32 threads, is not the bottleneck here; the RTX 2060’s 6 GB VRAM and 192-bit memory bus cannot sustain the pixel throughput required at 3840x2160.

The data suggests that the system is balanced at 1080p, where the CPU’s high single-thread score of 3470 in Passmark can feed the GPU effectively. However, at 4K, the RTX 2060’s compute capabilities (6.451 TFLOPS FP32) are insufficient, and the frame rates plummet. The scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter for this combination beyond 1080p, and users should expect a significant performance cliff when attempting 4K gaming.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal experience for this system is achieved at 1920x1080 with Medium settings, which delivers an average of 116.1 FPS. This preset offers a substantial improvement over High settings (89.6 FPS) while maintaining visual fidelity that is superior to Low (146.3 FPS). The jump from Medium to High costs 26.5 FPS, which is a significant trade-off for marginal visual gains in a multiplayer title like Fivem.

For users prioritizing smoothness at 1440p, the Low preset is the only viable option, yielding 95.3 FPS. The Medium preset at 2560x1440 produces 73.9 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS and may be acceptable for some. However, High settings at 1440p drop to 62.9 FPS, which is borderline, and Ultra falls to 43.9 FPS, which is not recommended for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the data shows no settings preset achieves a consistently smooth experience. The Low preset manages 53.7 FPS, but this is below the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K is the worst-performing configuration in the dataset, with an average of 26.3 FPS. Therefore, the recommendation is to avoid 4K entirely and focus on 1080p Medium or 1440p Low, depending on the user’s display preference. The balance between frame rate and visual quality is clearly optimized at 1080p Medium.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all combinations. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 146.3 FPS, Medium produces 116.1 FPS, High produces 89.6 FPS, and Ultra produces 72.1 FPS. The spread between the lowest and highest presets is 74.2 FPS, indicating that the CPU and GPU have enough headroom to scale with settings changes.

At 2560x1440, the results show a tighter grouping: Low averages 95.3 FPS, Medium averages 73.9 FPS, High averages 62.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 43.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution is the first configuration to drop below 60 FPS, signaling that the GPU is starting to struggle. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 51.4 FPS, which is less pronounced than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the performance collapses. Low averages 53.7 FPS, Medium averages 40.4 FPS, High averages 33.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 26.3 FPS. Every preset at 4K falls below 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset is the only configuration in the entire dataset to drop below 30 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is severe, with the High preset losing 29.2 FPS and the Low preset losing 41.6 FPS. This breakdown confirms that the RTX 2060 is not suited for 4K gaming in Fivem, and the data strongly favors 1080p as the native resolution for this combo.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, with a 64 MB L3 cache. The CPU’s benchmark scores are exceptional: it achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 38607 and a single-core score of 5450. In the database, it sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49062. Its closest rival is the Intel Core i5-14600K, which scores 49166, a negligible 0.2% difference.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is to provide consistent frame pacing and handle the game’s multiplayer logic. The 5950X’s high single-thread performance (Passmark single-thread score of 3470) ensures that the game’s primary thread is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. The data supports this: at 1080p, the system achieves 116.1 FPS on Medium settings, which is a strong result that indicates the CPU is feeding the GPU adequately. The 16 cores and 32 threads also provide ample headroom for background tasks and streaming, which is common in multiplayer environments.

However, the CPU’s influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 4K, the frame rates are primarily limited by the GPU, and the 5950X’s massive multi-threading capabilities (Cinebench R23 multicore score of 38607) are underutilized. The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in any measured configuration; the GPU is. The 5950X’s performance relative to its rivals is essentially a tie, with the Intel Core i5-14600K and AMD EPYC 4345P all within 1.1% of each other. This indicates that for Fivem, the CPU choice has less impact than the GPU, and the 5950X provides more than enough computational power to support the RTX 2060 in this game.
