# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1276th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. That places this configuration in the lower third of all tested combinations, which is a modest standing for a CPU that sits in the 94th percentile among all processors. The GPU, however, holds only the 63rd percentile among all graphics cards, and that imbalance largely explains the combo's overall position. The CPU is clearly the stronger component in this pairing, but Fivem's measured frame rates show that the GPU frequently becomes the limiting factor, especially at higher resolutions and quality settings.

Benchmark results indicate that this combo's ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU's age and tier. The RTX 2060 SUPER's average benchmark score of 19774 is within 1.3% of several nearest rivals, including the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN at 19706 and the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 at 19623. This tight clustering around the 19700-19800 score range suggests that the GPU is performing exactly where expected for its class, neither overachieving nor falling behind. The CPU, by contrast, posts an average benchmark score of 54450, which is only 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D at 54681 and 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700F at 54097. In synthetic tests the CPU is competitive with much newer parts, but in Fivem the combo rank suffers because the GPU cannot translate that CPU headroom into proportionally higher frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective. The GPU's base clock is 1470 MHz, with a boost clock of 1650 MHz. These specifications place it firmly in the mid-range of the GeForce 20-series, built on the Turing architecture with 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. It also includes 34 ray tracing cores and 272 tensor cores, though Fivem's measured results suggest these features have limited impact on this particular title.

In Fivem, the RTX 2060 SUPER's role is defined by its 8 GB VRAM capacity and its pixel throughput. The GPU achieves a pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s, which are the raw throughput figures that matter most for a multiplayer game like Fivem. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 158.2 FPS on average, but at 4K Ultra it falls to 27.5 FPS. This steep drop across the resolution and settings spectrum indicates that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being saturated long before the CPU's 12 cores and 24 threads become a constraint. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 16462 and passmark GPU compute score of 6721 are modest, reinforcing that this card is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming rather than 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 158.2 FPS, which drops to 106.9 FPS at 1440p Low — a 32.4% reduction. Moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low, the average falls to 58.1 FPS, another 45.7% drop. This scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component at every resolution, because the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread performance (as shown by its 3dmark single-thread score of 1286 and max-thread score of 13929) is more than capable of feeding frames at these rates.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (158.2 FPS) and Ultra (77.4 FPS) is 80.8 FPS — a 104.4% performance penalty for maxing out settings. At 1440p, that gap grows to 56.9 FPS (from 106.9 down to 50.0), and at 4K it reaches 30.6 FPS (from 58.1 down to 27.5). The percentage penalty for Ultra versus Low increases from 104.4% at 1080p to 111.3% at 4K, suggesting that the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading resources are being strained more heavily as pixel count rises. Benchmark results indicate that 1080p is the sweet spot for this combo, with 1440p being playable at medium-to-high settings, while 4K should be reserved for Low or Medium presets if playable frame rates are the goal.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 158.2 FPS, Medium drops to 123.2 FPS, High comes in at 97.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 77.4 FPS. The 1080p results show that even at Ultra, the frame rate remains above the 60 FPS threshold, making this resolution fully playable across all settings. The step from Low to Medium costs 35 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 20.3 FPS, indicating that the most expensive transition in performance terms is moving from Low to Medium.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 106.9 FPS on Low, 84.9 FPS on Medium, 67.0 FPS on High, and 50.0 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results show a more balanced scaling, with each settings tier costing roughly 17-18 FPS. High settings remain comfortably above 60 FPS, but Ultra dips below that threshold, making it a less desirable choice for competitive play. The 1440p Medium result of 84.9 FPS is particularly notable, as it offers a high refresh rate experience without requiring the Low preset.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 58.1 FPS on Low, 49.0 FPS on Medium, 36.1 FPS on High, and 27.5 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show that only Low settings clear the 60 FPS bar, and even then only barely. Medium is playable at just under 50 FPS, but High and Ultra are not suitable for smooth multiplayer gameplay. The drop from 1440p Low (106.9 FPS) to 4K Low (58.1 FPS) is a 48.8 FPS reduction, which represents the single largest resolution penalty across the entire measured dataset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It features 64 MB of shared L3 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The CPU's benchmark scores are impressive: it achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 46438 and a single-core score of 6555, along with a Geekbench multicore score of 19827 and single-core score of 3341. Its 3dmark single-thread score of 1286 and 16-thread score of 12552 indicate strong per-core performance and solid scaling across cores.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic updates. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (158.2 FPS) shows that the CPU can push well over 150 frames per second in this title, suggesting that its single-thread performance is more than adequate. The CPU's passmark single-thread score of 4672 and passmark physics score of 3381 further support this conclusion. However, because the combo rank is 1276th out of 1792, it is clear that the GPU is holding back the overall system in Fivem. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D (0.4% higher average score) and the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (1.5% lower average score), would likely produce similar FPS results when paired with the same GPU, since the bottleneck is on the graphics side.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience for this combo is achieved at 1080p with High settings, which yields 97.7 FPS on average. This setting strikes the optimal balance between visual quality and frame rate, staying well above the 60 FPS threshold while providing a significant visual upgrade over Low. For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p Low at 158.2 FPS is the clear choice, especially for competitive multiplayer scenarios where responsiveness matters more than fidelity.

At 1440p, the recommended preset is Medium, which delivers 84.9 FPS. This is the only 1440p setting that combines a high refresh rate with moderate visual quality; High at 67.0 FPS is also playable but starts to approach the lower bound of smooth gameplay. For 4K, Low settings at 58.1 FPS are the only viable option, and even then the frame rate is marginal. The data suggests that players should avoid Ultra at 1440p and 4K entirely, as the 50.0 FPS and 27.5 FPS averages, respectively, fall below playable thresholds. The step from Medium to High at 4K costs 12.9 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 8.6 FPS, both of which represent poor returns on visual investment.
