At 1920x1080, the combination produces frame rates ranging from 99 FPS at Ultra settings to 201 FPS at Low, indicating that the system is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates remain strong, with Low settings hitting 133 FPS and Ultra still maintaining 65 FPS. However, at 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as Ultra settings drop to 36 FPS while Low settings manage 74 FPS. The measured data places this combo at rank 1637 out of 3707 tested combinations, which reflects a solid mid-to-upper-tier position for this specific game title.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured rows, the Medium preset at 1920x1080 offers the most compelling balance, delivering 159 FPS average with a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 183 FPS. This represents a 60 FPS improvement over High settings while sacrificing only 32 FPS compared to Low, making it the sweet spot for competitive play where smoothness matters more than absolute visual fidelity. The minimum frame rate of 135 FPS ensures that even during intense multiplayer moments in Fivem, the experience remains fluid without noticeable stuttering.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again emerges as the recommended choice, producing 105 FPS average with a minimum of 89 FPS and a maximum of 120 FPS. This resolution strikes an excellent balance between image clarity and performance, especially for users with 1440p displays who want to maintain high refresh rates without dropping to lower quality settings. The 89 FPS minimum is still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and the 120 FPS maximum shows headroom for less demanding scenes.

For 4K gaming at 3840x2160, the data suggests that Medium settings are the practical ceiling for this combination, yielding 58 FPS average with a minimum of 49 FPS and a maximum of 67 FPS. While this is playable, the 49 FPS minimum indicates occasional dips below the ideal 60 FPS target. The High preset at 4K drops to 46 FPS average, which may be acceptable for slower-paced exploration but will struggle in action-heavy scenarios. Low settings at 4K provide 74 FPS but sacrifice visual quality significantly, making Medium the best compromise between fidelity and performance at this resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This memory configuration is adequate for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results indicate that the GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth become significant constraints at higher resolutions. The GPU's base clock of 2280 MHz and boost clock of 2497 MHz contribute to its overall compute capability, which is reflected in its passmark G3D score of 20891 and its 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs.

The RTX 5060's performance characteristics are particularly evident when examining the scaling from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 201 FPS at 1080p to 74 FPS at 4K, representing a reduction of approximately 63%. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 99 FPS to 36 FPS, a reduction of about 64%. This consistent scaling pattern across settings suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the relative performance decline is similar regardless of graphical complexity. The GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity is likely a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where texture and geometry demands can exceed this allocation in a multiplayer environment like Fivem with many concurrent assets.

The RTX 5060's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the AMD Radeon 860M with a delta of -0.3%, the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 also at -0.3%, the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary at -0.8%, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT at 1.2%. These comparisons show that the RTX 5060 sits in a competitive performance band, though its specific strengths in Fivem are better understood through the measured FPS data rather than synthetic benchmarks alone. The GPU's 145 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate it is a mainstream-class part, and the 1x 8-pin power connector with a 300 W suggested PSU confirms its modest power requirements relative to higher-tier cards.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael codename), manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. With a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, this CPU provides substantial single-threaded and multi-threaded performance that is well-suited for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core help reduce memory latency, which is crucial for the many entities and scripts that Fivem servers typically run.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark results demonstrate its capabilities: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29300 and a single-core score of 2016.5, along with a Geekbench multicore score of 19267 and single-core score of 2617. These figures place the Ryzen 9 7900X in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53288. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7313P with a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 at -0.3%, the Intel Xeon 634 at 0.6%, and the Intel Core i7-14700F at -0.6%, showing that this CPU competes with both server-class and high-end desktop processors.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is particularly important because the game engine handles many physics and scripting tasks on the main thread. The Ryzen 9 7900X's high boost clock of 5.60 GHz ensures strong single-threaded performance, which is evident in the 1080p results where the CPU has more headroom to drive frame rates. At 1080p Low settings, the 201 FPS average suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with frames well beyond typical display refresh rates. However, the data also shows that at 4K, the frame rates drop significantly regardless of settings, indicating that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions while the CPU has sufficient capacity to handle the game's logic at all tested settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the progression from 201 FPS at 1080p to 133 FPS at 1440p to 74 FPS at 4K shows a consistent decline of approximately 34% from 1080p to 1440p and another 44% from 1440p to 4K. This pattern indicates that the GPU is increasingly stressed as resolution increases, even at the lowest settings where the CPU has ample headroom.

At High settings, the frame rates drop from 127 FPS at 1080p to 84 FPS at 1440p to 46 FPS at 4K, representing reductions of 34% and 45% respectively. The Ultra settings show a similar trend with 99 FPS at 1080p, 65 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K. The consistent percentage drops across all settings suggest that the resolution scaling is primarily GPU-bound, as the relative performance degradation remains stable regardless of the graphical load.

The 4K results particularly highlight the GPU's limitations with this game. Even at Low settings, the 74 FPS at 4K is less than half of the 201 FPS achieved at 1080p, demonstrating that the RTX 5060's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at this resolution. The Medium settings at 4K show a minimum FPS of 49, which indicates that frame pacing may become inconsistent during complex scenes. The data suggests that 1440p is the optimal resolution for this combination, as it provides high frame rates across all settings while still offering significantly more detail than 1080p.
