Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly capable Fivem experience, with the data showing a clear hierarchy where 1080p and 1440p gaming are the primary strengths. The measured frame rates indicate that this combination can push high refresh rates at lower resolutions, while 4K remains a challenge that requires specific settings compromises.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data for this combination spans three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a comprehensive look at its scaling behavior. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally strong. The Low preset yields an average of 189 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure across the entire testing matrix. Moving up the quality ladder, the Medium preset delivers 149 FPS on average, with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS. The High preset produces 119 FPS average, and the most demanding Ultra preset still manages a solid 92 FPS average. This indicates that at 1080p, the RTX 4060 has ample headroom to handle even the most graphically intensive scenes without dipping near the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected drop-off as pixel count increases. The Low preset averages 124 FPS, while Medium delivers 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High settings produce 78 FPS on average, and Ultra settings land at 61 FPS. The minimum frame rate data for the Medium preset at 83 FPS is particularly telling, as it shows the system maintains comfortable margins above the playable threshold even during demanding moments. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS average is right at the edge of the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that while playable, there is little room for error in complex multiplayer scenarios.

The 3840x2160 results reveal the most significant performance constraints. Low settings average 69 FPS, which clears the threshold but by a slim margin. Medium settings drop to 54 FPS average, with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS. High settings fall to 44 FPS average, and Ultra settings bottom out at 34 FPS. The gap between the 1440p and 4K results is substantial, with the 4K High preset delivering roughly half the frame rate of its 1440p counterpart. This pattern is consistent with a GPU that has sufficient bandwidth for mainstream resolutions but is strained by the pixel throughput demands of 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 7 9700F and the RTX 4060 shifts noticeably across the resolution spectrum. At 1920x1080, the data suggests a more balanced workload, where the CPU's capabilities are more likely to surface. The Ryzen 7 9700F, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, posts a PassMark single-thread score of 4691 and a multithread score of 36470, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. At lower resolutions where the GPU is less saturated, the CPU's strong single-thread performance helps maintain the high frame rates observed, such as the 189 FPS average at Low settings.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on a more dominant role. The frame rate drop from 124 FPS at Low to 78 FPS at High represents a 37% reduction, which is primarily driven by the increased pixel shading workload on the RTX 4060. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle these demands, as evidenced by the playable Ultra performance at 61 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p shows a gradual, predictable decline, indicating a GPU-bound scenario.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4060 becomes the clear bottleneck. The 69 FPS at Low settings drops to 34 FPS at Ultra, a 51% reduction that highlights the GPU's struggle with the 8.3 million pixel count. The CPU's contribution at this resolution is minimal, as the frame rates are almost entirely dictated by the GPU's fill rate and compute throughput. The Ryzen 7 9700F's Zen 5 architecture and 5.50 GHz boost clock are more than adequate to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but at 4K the GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the limiting factor. The measured data shows that the CPU overhead is rarely a constraint, with the GPU being the primary driver of performance differences across all resolutions and presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS determines the optimal configuration. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 92 FPS on average, making it the clear choice for maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability. This is the highest quality setting available, and the 92 FPS average provides a comfortable cushion above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies, with an average of 61 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that remains playable, though the margin is tight. The 61 FPS average means that while the system can handle Ultra settings at this resolution, users should expect occasional dips in demanding multiplayer scenarios. The High preset at 78 FPS offers a more comfortable experience if frame rate stability is a priority.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only option that clears the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 69 FPS. The Medium preset falls short at 54 FPS, making Low the highest playable quality level at this resolution. This represents a significant visual compromise, but the 69 FPS average ensures a smooth experience for those who prioritize resolution over detail. The verdict data confirms this, listing Low as the best playable setting at 4K with an average of 69 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 7 9700F provide useful context for the CPU's performance tier. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875 on average, a mere 0.2% difference from the 9700F's 69996. The Intel Core i7-14700KF is also closely matched at 70163, with a delta of -0.2%. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515, representing a 0.7% gap, and the Intel Core i7-14700K scores 69355, a 0.9% difference. These results indicate that the 9700F sits in a tightly contested performance bracket where any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem.

For the GPU, the RTX 4060's nearest rivals are surprisingly modest given its 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, a -0.2% delta from the 4060's 17639. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, a 0.3% difference, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 score 17551 and 17509 respectively, with deltas of 0.5% and 0.7%. These comparisons suggest that in terms of raw benchmark scores, the RTX 4060's performance is bracketed by a mix of older discrete GPUs and modern integrated graphics. However, the 4060's modern feature set, including Ada Lovelace architecture and DirectX 12 Ultimate support, means its Fivem performance could differ from these rivals in ways not fully captured by the aggregate scores.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested combinations for Fivem, this pairing ranks 1993 out of 3707 total configurations. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the overall ranking, which is somewhat surprising given the strong 1080p and 1440p results. The ranking likely reflects that Fivem, as a multiplayer title, is frequently tested with higher-end GPUs that can handle 4K Ultra settings more effectively. The RTX 4060's 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs drags the overall combination down, even though the CPU is in the 94th percentile. The 1993rd rank suggests that while this combo is far from the bottom, there are many more powerful GPU-centric builds that achieve better 4K performance and therefore rank higher.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Fivem, with the data showing playable performance across all tested resolutions when appropriate settings are selected. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset delivering 92 FPS on average. This is the ideal resolution for this combination, offering both high visual quality and smooth frame rates. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear the 60 FPS mark, with Ultra achieving 61 FPS. This makes 1440p a viable option, though users who prefer a larger frame rate buffer should consider High settings at 78 FPS.

The 4K experience is more limited. The Low preset is the only playable option, averaging 69 FPS. The Medium preset falls below the threshold at 54 FPS, and High and Ultra are not viable at 44 and 34 FPS respectively. For users with 4K displays, the system will require a significant graphical compromise to maintain playability. The verdict by resolution confirms these findings: 1080p and 1440p are fully playable across all settings, while 4K is restricted to Low settings. The Ryzen 7 9700F provides ample CPU headroom for the multiplayer scenarios Fivem is known for, while the RTX 4060 is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. This is a well-balanced combo for mainstream gaming, with clear strengths at 1080p and 1440p and acceptable, if compromised, performance at 4K.
