Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 presents an interesting combination for Fivem, a multiplayer title that often behaves differently from single-player benchmarks. The recorded data in the database shows a system that delivers very high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, but the relationship between the CPU and GPU shifts depending on the workload. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, answers common questions, and provides guidance on optimal settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains twelve measured FPS data points for this combo, covering three resolutions and four quality presets each. All readings are average FPS values; no minimum or maximum frame rate data was recorded.

At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the system produces extremely high frame rates. The Low preset averages 236.8 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combo. Medium settings drop to 212.9 FPS, while High settings average 196 FPS. The Ultra preset still maintains a strong 180.1 FPS average. The spread between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 56.7 FPS, indicating that the GPU has ample headroom and the CPU is likely the limiting factor at lower settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high but show a clearer scaling pattern. Low settings average 203.9 FPS, Medium settings average 186 FPS, and High settings average 151.5 FPS. Ultra settings produce 120.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 83.6 FPS, a larger gap than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU begins to take on more responsibility as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution, the system still clears the 60 FPS threshold comfortably at every preset. Low settings average 131.8 FPS, Medium settings average 105.6 FPS, High settings average 82.9 FPS, and Ultra settings average 68.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 63.6 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra settings fall below 70 FPS, though the average remains above the playable threshold.

The data shows a consistent pattern: frame rates scale down as resolution increases for every preset. The largest relative drop occurs between 1440p and 4K, where High settings fall from 151.5 to 82.9 FPS, a reduction of 45.3%. The smallest relative drop between resolutions occurs at Low settings, which only lose 32.1 FPS going from 1080p to 4K.

A: No. All twelve measured configurations, spanning three resolutions and four presets, stay at or above 68.2 FPS. The lowest recorded value is 68.2 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database identifies the best settings as the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. For this combo, every preset at every resolution clears that threshold, so the "best" setting is always Ultra.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 180.1 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while leaving enormous performance headroom. The frame rate is nearly three times the playable threshold, so there is no need to compromise on quality.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings average 120.3 FPS. This is exactly double the playable threshold, offering a smooth experience with maxed-out visuals. The drop from 1080p Ultra is 59.8 FPS, but the result remains excellent.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings average 68.2 FPS. This is the only configuration where the system approaches the 60 FPS threshold, but it still clears it by 8.2 FPS. For players who prioritize frame rate stability over maximum quality, High settings at 82.9 FPS would provide more margin, but Ultra remains playable.

The data indicates that this combo can run Fivem at maximum settings across all tested resolutions without dipping below the playable threshold. The only caveat is that 4K Ultra leaves less headroom for frame rate drops in busy multiplayer scenarios, though the recorded average does not reflect such transient dips.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for how this combo compares to other hardware pairings. These alternatives come from the database's benchmark scores, not from direct Fivem measurements.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, the closest rival is the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, with a benchmark score 0.1% higher. The AMD EPYC 4244P also sits 0.1% higher. The Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 0.5% higher. These deltas are tiny, meaning any of these CPUs would likely produce nearly identical results in Fivem when paired with the same GPU, assuming the game is not heavily CPU-bound at the tested settings.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, the nearest rival is the Intel Arc Pro A60, with a score 0% different. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 0.3% higher, the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 2.5% lower, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 2.9% higher. Again, these differences are small enough that the GPU performance in Fivem would be very similar, though the RTX 4090 has other advantages not captured in these aggregate scores.

The practical implication is that swapping the Ryzen 7 3700X for any of its nearest rivals would not meaningfully change the measured FPS in this game. Similarly, replacing the RTX 4090 with the Intel Arc Pro A60 or AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 would likely produce frame rates within a few percent of the recorded values. The system's overall performance is driven more by the combination's ability to keep FPS high across all settings, which these near-identical rivals would also achieve.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Fivem at different resolutions and presets. The key observation is how frame rates scale with resolution and quality settings.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high, with Low settings hitting 236.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 56.7 FPS, which is relatively small compared to the absolute values. This suggests the CPU is a limiting factor at this resolution because the GPU is capable of much higher frame rates than the CPU can feed. The RTX 4090's raw power is not fully utilized when the render resolution is low.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are lower but still very high. Low settings average 203.9 FPS, while Ultra averages 120.3 FPS. The gap between presets widens to 83.6 FPS, indicating the GPU is becoming a more significant contributor. The additional pixel count increases the GPU workload, allowing the CPU to keep up more easily.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop further, with Low settings at 131.8 FPS and Ultra at 68.2 FPS. The gap between presets is 63.6 FPS, which is narrower than at 1440p. This indicates the GPU is now the dominant constraint, especially at higher quality settings. The CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but the GPU's rendering capacity limits the frame rate.

The scaling between resolutions confirms this shift. Going from 1080p to 4K at Low settings reduces FPS by 105.0 FPS, while at Ultra settings the reduction is 111.9 FPS. The similar absolute drops suggest the GPU workload scales predictably with resolution, and the CPU is less of a factor at 4K. Conversely, at 1080p, the relatively small difference between Low and Ultra (56.7 FPS) indicates CPU involvement is higher.

For players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU will matter more. For players targeting 4K, the GPU is the primary driver of performance. This combo handles both scenarios well, but the bottleneck shifts as resolution changes.

The Verdict

The database's verdict is clear: this PC can run Fivem at every tested resolution and preset with an average FPS above 60. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and all twelve configurations exceed it.

At 3840x2160, all four presets are playable. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 68.2. This clears the threshold by 8.2 FPS, making 4K gaming viable at maximum quality, though the margin is modest.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 120.3. This doubles the threshold, providing a comfortable buffer for any frame rate fluctuations during intense multiplayer sessions.

At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 180.1. This is triple the threshold, ensuring smooth performance even in the busiest scenarios.

The system never drops below 68.2 FPS in any recorded configuration. For competitive play, the 1080p and 1440p results offer refresh rates that exceed most high-refresh monitors. For visual fidelity, the 4K Ultra result is playable but leaves less headroom. The overall assessment is that this combo is more than sufficient for Fivem, with the only consideration being the reduced margin at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of all tested combos for Fivem, this configuration ranks 340th out of 3,707 combinations. This places it in the top 9.2% of all tested systems, which is a strong result given the large number of possible pairings.

The rank reflects the combination's ability to maintain high frame rates across all settings. The RTX 4090 is a top-tier GPU, and while the Ryzen 7 3700X is older, it still provides enough CPU performance to avoid severe bottlenecks in this game. The high rank is driven primarily by the GPU's capability at higher resolutions, where the CPU's age matters less.

The fact that this combo ranks in the top tenth of all tested systems indicates that Fivem is not particularly demanding on the CPU when paired with a powerful GPU. The game's multiplayer nature may introduce CPU overhead from many connected players, but the recorded data shows that this CPU and GPU pairing handles it well.

The rank also suggests that many higher-ranked combos likely use newer CPUs, but the delta in Fivem performance is not large enough to push this combo significantly down the list. For practical purposes, a 340th place out of 3,707 means the system delivers near-top-tier performance in this specific game, with only a small fraction of tested systems performing better. The combination of a capable eight-core CPU and an extremely powerful GPU proves effective for Fivem across all tested resolutions and presets.
