Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is a formidable combination for Fivem, delivering a playable experience across nearly all tested settings, with the sole exception being Ultra at 4K. The data shows this combo ranks in the 1085th position out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it comfortably within the top third of all systems, a strong indicator of its overall capability. This pairing excels at 1440p and 1080p, where it not only meets but often doubles the 60 FPS threshold, making it a top-tier choice for high-refresh-rate multiplayer gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured performance of the Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 3080 combination places it at rank 1085 out of 3707 tested combos, which puts it in the 71st percentile of all systems tested. This is a strong standing, indicating that this pairing outperforms the majority of hardware configurations in Fivem. While it is not at the absolute top of the charts, its position suggests it handles the game's demands with significant headroom, particularly when compared to the lower half of the field. The rank reflects a balance where neither the CPU nor the GPU is a severe bottleneck, allowing the system to scale well with graphical demands.

The benchmark scores for the individual components corroborate this mid-to-high-tier ranking. The CPU's average benchmark score of 29123 places it in the 81st percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU's average score of 23172 places it in the 68th percentile against all GPUs. When combined, these two components create a system that is more capable than the sum of its parts in Fivem, as the game's performance is not heavily skewed toward one component. The rank of 1085 confirms the synergy between the 8-core, 16-thread processor and the 10 GB graphics card, resulting in a smooth and responsive experience in most scenarios.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals a clear pattern about which component is more influential in Fivem. At 4K, the GPU is the primary driver, as evidenced by the significant drop in frame rates with higher settings. The average FPS at 4K goes from 90.4 on Low to 71.1 on Medium, and then down to 55.7 on High and 47 on Ultra. This steep decline with increased graphical load indicates that the RTX 3080 is working at its limit, and the CPU has enough headroom to feed it. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is over 43 FPS, a massive swing that is almost entirely attributable to the GPU's rendering workload.

Moving down to 1440p, the balance shifts. The frame rates are substantially higher, with Low settings hitting 166.6 FPS and Ultra still maintaining a very playable 78.4 FPS. The scaling between presets is still present, but the overall performance is less constrained. This suggests that while the GPU still matters, the CPU is now more capable of keeping up, as the frame rates are not as limited by the pixel count. At 1080p, the CPU becomes even more relevant. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows proportionally, with Low achieving 249 FPS and Ultra still hitting 120.8 FPS. The fact that Ultra at 1080p is nearly double the 4K Ultra score indicates that the system is no longer GPU-bound, and the Ryzen 7 5800X's strong single-thread performance is helping to sustain higher frame rates.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K with high settings?

A: No, not at a stable 60 FPS. The data shows an average of 55.7 FPS at 4K High, which falls just short of the 60 FPS playable threshold. The system is better suited for 4K Medium, which averages 71.1 FPS.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to achieve maximum visual quality?

A: 2560x1440 is the sweet spot. At this resolution, the system can run Ultra settings with an average of 78.4 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold, providing both high visual fidelity and smooth gameplay.

Q: How much performance is lost when going from 1080p to 4K?

A: The impact is significant. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 120.8 FPS at 1080p to 47 FPS at 4K, a reduction of over 73 FPS. This highlights the heavy load that 4K resolution places on the GPU.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for Fivem at 1080p?

A: At 1080p, the CPU plays a larger role in maximizing frame rates. The system achieves 249 FPS on Low settings, indicating the CPU can push high frame rates when the GPU load is light. The scaling from Low to Ultra is less dramatic than at 4K, showing the CPU's ability to maintain performance.

Q: Does the system ever drop below the 60 FPS threshold in the tested configurations?

A: Yes, but only at 4K with High (55.7 FPS) and Ultra (47 FPS) settings. All other tested settings at 4K (Low and Medium) and all settings at 1440p and 1080p remain at or above 71.1 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 3080 compare to its nearest rivals in raw compute performance?

A: The RTX 3080's average benchmark score is 23172. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA P106-100, scores 23249, which is 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 is also 0.3% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 6600M is 0.4% lower, indicating the RTX 3080 is very closely matched to these competitors in synthetic tests.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Fivem exceptionally well, with clear verdicts for each resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is a powerhouse, clearing the 60 FPS threshold with ease at all presets. The most demanding setting, Ultra, achieves an average of 120.8 FPS, providing a highly fluid experience for competitive play. At 2560x1440, the verdict is also a definitive yes, with all settings including Ultra staying above 60 FPS. The average of 78.4 FPS at Ultra ensures that users can enjoy maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

The 4K resolution is where the system's limits are tested. The verdict is that it can run Fivem, but not at the highest settings. The playable settings at 3840x2160 are Low and Medium, with Medium providing the best experience at an average of 71.1 FPS. High and Ultra settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 55.7 and 47 FPS respectively. For users with a 4K display, selecting Medium settings is recommended to maintain a consistent and playable frame rate, while those prioritizing frame rate over resolution will find 1440p to be the optimal choice.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is closely matched by the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which has an average score of 29093, a mere 0.1% difference. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 and Intel Core i5-13500HX are also within a half-percent of its performance, with scores of 29245 (-0.4%) and 29270 (-0.5%) respectively. Systems using any of these CPUs would likely deliver very similar frame rates in Fivem, as the performance delta is negligible. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT is also a close match, with a score of 28940, just 0.6% lower, indicating it would provide a nearly identical experience.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3080's nearest rivals are a mix of older and mobile parts. The NVIDIA P106-100 and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 both score slightly higher, with deltas of -0.3%, while the AMD Radeon RX 6600M is just 0.4% lower. These results suggest that a system with one of these GPUs would perform almost identically to the RTX 3080 in Fivem. However, it is important to note that these are synthetic benchmark scores, and the actual in-game performance could vary. For users looking for similar behavior, any of these CPUs or GPUs would be a reasonable alternative, depending on platform and availability.

Best Settings per Resolution

For optimal performance, the goal is to use the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At each resolution, the data points to a specific setting that balances visual quality and smoothness.

• 3840x2160 (4K): The best setting is Medium, which achieves an average of 71.1 FPS. This is the highest preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold, providing a playable experience with better visuals than Low. High and Ultra are not recommended as they drop to 55.7 and 47 FPS, respectively.

• 2560x1440 (1440p): The best setting is Ultra, with an average of 78.4 FPS. This resolution allows for the full visual experience without compromising on frame rate, making it the ideal choice for this system. All presets from Low to Ultra are playable, but Ultra offers the best visual fidelity while staying well above the 60 FPS target.

• 1920x1080 (1080p): The best setting is Ultra, with an impressive average of 120.8 FPS. This is the highest possible preset and it more than doubles the 60 FPS threshold. Users with high-refresh-rate monitors will benefit most from this configuration, as the system has ample performance headroom to drive smooth and responsive gameplay.
