Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an exceptionally powerful combination for Fivem, delivering well above the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution and preset tested. The data shows this combo ranks in the top tier of all tested configurations, with the only meaningful limitation being that even at 4K Ultra, the average frame rate remains above 60 FPS, making this a definitive high-refresh-rate and high-fidelity solution for the game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4090 demonstrates its dominance, though Fivem’s engine scaling shows clear diminishing returns at higher settings. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 133.3 FPS, providing a massive cushion above the 60 FPS threshold. Moving to Medium reduces the average to 107.5 FPS, a 19.4% drop that still leaves substantial headroom. High settings yield 83.2 FPS average, which remains comfortably playable for smooth gameplay, while Ultra settings bring the average down to 66.7 FPS. This last figure is critical: it is the only tested configuration that approaches the playability floor, yet it still clears it by 11.2%. The absence of min/max data means the data cannot confirm frame-time consistency, but the average at Ultra is sufficient for a stable experience.

Stepping down to 2560x1440 reveals the GPU’s strength at lower pixel counts. Low settings produce an average of 243.8 FPS, which is nearly four times the playability threshold. Medium settings reduce this to 188.5 FPS, a 22.7% decrease, while High settings deliver 153.9 FPS. Ultra at 1440p achieves 118.9 FPS average, which is 98.2% higher than the 4K Ultra result. The scaling from 4K to 1440p at Ultra settings shows a 78.3% performance uplift, indicating that the GPU is heavily pixel-bound at 4K, whereas at 1440p the workload becomes more balanced.

At 1920x1080, the combination reaches its peak throughput. Low settings hit an extraordinary 303.2 FPS average, which is more than five times the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings follow at 278.5 FPS, and High settings at 234.3 FPS. Even Ultra settings at 1080p produce an average of 181.2 FPS, which is higher than the 4K Low result. The 1080p Ultra figure represents a 171.7% improvement over 4K Ultra, confirming that this configuration is overkill for 1080p gaming in Fivem, as even the most demanding preset leaves massive performance reserves.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which scores 29093 against the 5800X’s 29123 average, a negligible 0.1% difference. This means that swapping in the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H would yield nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, assuming the GPU remains constant. Similarly, the Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 29270, which is 0.5% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT scores 28940, which is 0.6% lower. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 scores 29245, 0.4% higher than the 5800X. For gaming, these deltas are within the margin of error, so any of these CPUs would behave similarly in Fivem, though the 5800X’s Zen 3 architecture with 8 cores and 16 threads remains a strong match.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4090’s nearest rivals are all professional or workstation-class cards. The Intel Arc Pro A60 matches with a 0% delta, scoring 60326 against the 4090’s 60347. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 is 0.3% lower at 60140, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 2.9% higher at 58657, though this latter figure is counterintuitive given the Pro V710’s lower raw score. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% higher at 61896. In practice, none of these are gaming cards, so the RTX 4090 remains the clear choice for Fivem, but the benchmark data suggests that if a system were configured with one of these alternatives, the frame rates would be within a few percent of the tested results. The 4090’s percentile rank of 88 among all GPUs indicates it sits well above most consumer hardware, and its 24 GB GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for Fivem’s multiplayer environments.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes more relevant at lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops by 50.0% from Low to Ultra (133.3 to 66.7), which is a direct consequence of the GPU’s pixel and shading workload increasing with settings. The CPU’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.70 GHz boost clock is sufficient to feed the RTX 4090 at 4K, as evidenced by the fact that even at Ultra, the frame rate remains above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 51.2% reduction (243.8 to 118.9), which is similar to 4K, but the absolute frame rates are much higher. The fact that 1440p Ultra (118.9 FPS) exceeds 4K Low (133.3 FPS) by a smaller margin than expected suggests that at 1440p, the CPU begins to exert more influence, particularly in multiplayer scenarios where Fivem’s server-side logic and many-player interactions can create CPU overhead. The Ryzen 7 5800X’s single-thread score of 1574.5 in Cinebench R23 and its 3DMark single-thread score of 943 indicate strong per-core performance that helps maintain high FPS in CPU-bound moments.

At 1920x1080, the GPU is no longer the limiting factor at any setting. The difference between Low (303.2 FPS) and Ultra (181.2 FPS) is 40.2%, which is smaller than at higher resolutions, indicating that the CPU is starting to cap the maximum frame rate. The 5800X’s multi-threaded performance, with a PassMark multithread score of 27732 and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15476, ensures that it can handle Fivem’s single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads simultaneously. However, the scaling from 1440p to 1080p at Ultra (118.9 to 181.2 FPS, a 52.4% increase) shows that the GPU still has headroom, meaning the CPU is not fully saturated until around 300 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of 3707 tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 144th overall for Fivem. This places it in the top 3.9% of all tested combos, a remarkable position given that the RTX 4090 is marked as end-of-life and the CPU is from the 2020-era 5000 series. The combo’s average benchmark score, derived from the CPU’s 29123 and the GPU’s 60347, is not a simple sum, but the rank reflects the measured FPS across all resolutions.

The rank of 144 is particularly notable because the RTX 4090, despite being a generation old, still outperforms nearly all other GPUs in the database, and the 5800X, while not the newest, provides enough single-thread performance to avoid capping the GPU at most settings. The data shows that combos ranked higher than this are likely using newer CPUs like the Ryzen 7000 or Intel 13th/14th gen parts, but the performance difference in Fivem is minimal because the game is not heavily CPU-bound at 4K. At 1080p, a faster CPU might push the average FPS from 303.2 to 320 or higher, but such gains would be imperceptible on most monitors. The 5800X’s percentile rank of 81 among all CPUs and the 4090’s percentile rank of 88 both contribute to this strong overall position.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem flawlessly at all tested resolutions and settings. The verdict by resolution confirms that 3840x2160 Ultra is playable with an average of 66.7 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by 11.2%. At this resolution, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra being the best visual option that still maintains smooth gameplay. For gamers with 4K displays, the RTX 4090’s 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute ensure that even the most demanding multiplayer scenes with many vehicles and players will stay above 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is even more decisive. Ultra settings deliver 118.9 FPS average, which is nearly double the playability threshold, and all lower settings are playable with frame rates ranging from 153.9 to 243.8. This resolution is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate monitors, as the GPU provides enough performance to drive 144Hz or even 240Hz displays at High or Medium settings. At 1920x1080, every setting is playable, with Ultra achieving 181.2 FPS and Low reaching 303.2 FPS, making this combination suitable for 360Hz competitive monitors in less demanding scenes. The conclusion is unambiguous: there is no configuration in the test matrix where this system fails to reach 60 FPS, and the only trade-off at 4K Ultra is that the average frame rate is closer to the threshold, leaving less headroom for future updates to Fivem that might increase GPU load.
