Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 pairing delivers strong performance in Fivem, with benchmark results showing 1080p Ultra at 125.6 FPS and 1440p Ultra at 84 FPS. The 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 processor holds its own in this multiplayer title, while the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for the game's open-world rendering. Measured data indicates the combo ranks 964th out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it in the upper quartile of systems.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 29879 in average benchmarks, with a percentile ranking of 81 against all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H sits essentially identical with an average score of 29868 (0% delta), making it a direct performance match for Fivem's CPU-bound scenarios. Two other Ryzen 7 mobile parts, the 8845HS and 7840HS, both score 29955, which is 0.3% higher than the 5800XT — a negligible difference in real-world gameplay. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X trails by 0.6% with a score of 29713, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates in this game.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 has an average benchmark score of 37648 and ranks in the 81st percentile among all GPUs. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 matches it almost exactly at 37628 (0.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 comes in at 37507 (0.4% higher). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% faster at 38135, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 is 1.3% slower at 37157. For Fivem specifically, these deltas are small enough that users would see similar FPS numbers across all four alternatives, though the desktop RTX 4070 has the advantage of full-power operation compared to mobile variants.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the balance shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the jump from Low (261.6 FPS) to Ultra (125.6 FPS) shows a 136 FPS difference, indicating the GPU becomes the limiting factor as settings increase. The CPU's single-thread score of 959 in 3DMark and 3359 in Cinebench R23 suggests it handles the game's logic and physics well, but at 1080p the RTX 4070 is often waiting on draw calls.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scaling is more linear: Low produces 170.8 FPS, Medium 133.7, High 104.3, and Ultra 84 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 86.8 FPS, proportionally smaller than at 1080p, showing that resolution scaling impacts the GPU more than the CPU. At 3840x2160, the pattern continues with Low at 96.1 FPS, Medium at 72.6, High at 57.9, and Ultra dropping to 44.6 FPS — the RTX 4070's 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes the bottleneck.

The CPU matters more at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 261.6 FPS, which is 2.7 times the 4K Low result of 96.1 FPS — this gap is primarily due to the GPU's workload decreasing faster than the CPU's. The 5800XT's 3DMark 2-thread score of 1879 and 4-thread score of 3603 indicate solid single-core performance that keeps Fivem's simulation thread fed, but the game's multiplayer nature means server-side processing and other players' actions create CPU overhead that this processor handles with its 16 threads.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 with 12 GB VRAM delivers playable results only on lower presets. Low settings average 96.1 FPS, Medium drops to 72.6 FPS, High falls to 57.9 FPS (below the 60 FPS threshold), and Ultra bottoms out at 44.6 FPS. The 4K data shows a 51.5 FPS spread between Low and Ultra, with each settings tier costing roughly 17 FPS on average.

The 2560x1440 results are more comfortable. Low settings hit 170.8 FPS, Medium achieves 133.7 FPS, High runs at 104.3 FPS, and Ultra maintains 84 FPS. Every preset stays well above 60 FPS, and the 86.8 FPS delta between Low and Ultra gives users flexibility to prioritize visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1920x1080, the combo excels. Low settings produce 261.6 FPS, Medium reaches 207.6 FPS, High delivers 165.3 FPS, and Ultra still manages 125.6 FPS. The 136 FPS difference between Low and Ultra is the largest across all resolutions, confirming that 1080p is where the CPU keeps pace while the GPU handles the rendering load. For high-refresh monitors, even Ultra settings at 1080p exceed 120 FPS, making this pairing suitable for 144Hz displays.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT plus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 964th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 74th percentile of all systems. This ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's 81st percentile standing and the GPU's 81st percentile position — both components perform above average for their respective categories, but neither is in the top tier for this game.

The ranking suggests that roughly 2743 combos perform worse, while 963 perform better. Given that Fivem is a multiplayer mod built on an older engine, the data indicates that higher-end GPUs like the RTX 4080 Mobile (which scores 1.3% higher in benchmarks) would only marginally improve frame rates. The 5800XT's multi-thread score of 23794 in Cinebench R23 and 28053 in PassMark demonstrates that the CPU side is not the limiting factor at most settings; the GPU's 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance handles the rendering, but the game's CPU-bound nature in busy multiplayer servers means the 8-core processor is well-suited for this workload.

FAQ

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, averaging 72.6 FPS. High drops to 57.9 FPS, which fails the playable threshold, so Medium is the recommended maximum for 4K.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings are playable at 84 FPS, making it the best choice. All presets from Low (170.8 FPS) through High (104.3 FPS) remain above 60 FPS, so users can push to Ultra without concern.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 125.6 FPS, which is both the highest visual quality and well above the 60 FPS threshold. Even at Ultra, the system maintains enough headroom for high-refresh-rate displays, and users with 240Hz monitors could consider High at 165.3 FPS or Medium at 207.6 FPS for maximum smoothness.
