Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers a performance profile that is heavily dependent on resolution and graphics preset in Fivem. Measured data shows a clear hierarchy: at 1920x1080, the combo is overwhelmingly fast, while at 3840x2160, it requires settings adjustments to maintain smooth gameplay. The dataset provides average FPS figures for four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions, with the playable threshold set at 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combo begins to show its limits. With the Ultra preset, the average FPS drops to 42.1, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Stepping down to High raises the average to 55.9 FPS, still marginally under the threshold. The Medium preset achieves an average of 68.7 FPS, crossing the 60 FPS line with a comfortable margin. The Low preset delivers a significantly higher 91.1 FPS average, indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance picture improves substantially. The Ultra preset now averages 83.2 FPS, which is more than 20 FPS above the threshold. The High preset reaches 101.2 FPS average, while Medium hits 129.4 FPS. The Low preset produces an average of 164.2 FPS, showing that the combo has ample headroom at this resolution. All four presets exceed the 60 FPS threshold, making 2560x1440 a versatile resolution for this hardware pairing.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs exceptionally well across all settings. The Ultra preset averages 123 FPS, which is double the threshold. High settings yield 156.9 FPS average, Medium produces 198.6 FPS, and the Low preset reaches an average of 252.9 FPS. The scaling from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 is substantial, particularly at lower presets, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently at high frame rates.

The data shows a consistent pattern: as resolution decreases, the FPS gains become more pronounced at higher presets. For instance, moving from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080, the Ultra preset gains 39.8 FPS (from 83.2 to 123), while the Low preset gains 88.7 FPS (from 164.2 to 252.9). This suggests that the RTX 3080 has significant headroom that is unlocked at lower resolutions, and the Ryzen 7 9700X does not bottleneck this process.

How This Combo Ranks

In the Fivem benchmark database, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 holds a rank of 1078 out of 3707 tested combos. This positioning in the 29th percentile of all tested configurations suggests that while the combo is capable, there are many other hardware pairings that deliver higher frame rates in this game. The rank reflects the measured FPS data, which shows strong performance at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but weaker results at 3840x2160 on higher presets.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 68 among all GPUs, combined with the CPU's 86th percentile ranking, indicates that the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card when compared to their respective peers. This imbalance becomes apparent at 3840x2160, where the GPU's limitations are exposed. The combo's overall rank of 1078 suggests that other configurations with higher-performing GPUs would likely achieve better results at 4K, even if their CPUs are less powerful.

The data shows that the combo's rank is driven primarily by its strong 1080p and 1440p performance. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 123 FPS, which is competitive with many higher-ranked combos. The 2560x1440 results, with all presets above 83 FPS, also contribute positively to the rank. However, the 3840x2160 results, particularly the 42.1 FPS at Ultra, likely drag the overall rank down relative to combos with more powerful GPUs.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearestRivals data for both components, several alternative hardware combinations would likely behave similarly in Fivem. For the CPU, the Intel Core i9-14901E has an average benchmark score of 37911, which is only 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 7 9700X's 37943. This means that swapping the Ryzen 7 9700X for the Intel Core i9-14901E would produce nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (score 37904, deltaPct 0.1) and the Intel Core 5 211E (score 37829, deltaPct 0.3) are also extremely close in CPU performance, differing by less than 0.3%.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA P106-100 has an average benchmark score of 23249, which is -0.3% relative to the RTX 3080's 23172. This slight difference suggests that the P106-100 would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, though the RTX 3080's higher memory bandwidth (760.3 GB/s vs. the P106-100's unspecified) might lead to differences in texture-heavy scenarios. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M (score 23273, deltaPct -0.4) and AMD Radeon R9 M290X (score 23276, deltaPct -0.4) are also close in raw benchmark scores, but their different memory configurations and driver optimizations could cause minor variations in actual gameplay.

A combination of the Intel Core i9-14901E with the NVIDIA P106-100 would likely produce FPS figures within 1% of the measured values for the Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 3080 combo. Similarly, pairing the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with the AMD Radeon RX 6600M would provide a comparable experience, though the RX 6600M's lower memory bandwidth might reduce performance at 3840x2160 with higher presets.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The difference between Low and Ultra presets is substantial: 91.1 FPS at Low versus 42.1 FPS at Ultra, a drop of 49 FPS. This indicates that the RTX 3080's rendering workload increases dramatically with higher settings, and the CPU has sufficient headroom to keep up. The fact that the combo ranks in the 86th percentile for CPU performance while the GPU is in the 68th percentile supports this interpretation.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts. The spread between Low (164.2 FPS) and Ultra (83.2 FPS) is 81 FPS, showing that the GPU still dominates the scaling. However, the absolute FPS values are high enough that the CPU's single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 1280) becomes more relevant. The Ryzen 7 9700X's boost clock of 5.50 GHz likely helps maintain high frame rates in multiplayer scenarios where CPU-bound logic (physics, AI, network) can be demanding.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's role becomes more significant. The Low preset averages 252.9 FPS, which is exceptionally high. The scaling from Low to Ultra (252.9 to 123 FPS) shows the GPU still matters, but the absolute numbers suggest that the CPU is capable of pushing frame rates well beyond what most displays can show. The data indicates that at 1920x1080, the combo is not CPU-limited at any preset, as even the Ultra preset averages 123 FPS.

The resolution scaling provides further insight. Moving from 3840x2160 to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset improves from 42.1 to 83.2 FPS, a 97.6% increase. Moving from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080, the Ultra preset improves from 83.2 to 123 FPS, a 47.8% increase. This diminishing return as resolution decreases indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes more relevant as resolution drops.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the experience varies significantly by resolution and preset. The verdictByResolution data provides clear guidance:

• 3840x2160: The combo is playable only at Low (91.1 FPS) and Medium (68.7 FPS) presets. High (55.9 FPS) and Ultra (42.1 FPS) fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable setting is Medium, which averages 68.7 FPS.

• 2560x1440: All four presets are playable. The best setting is Ultra, which averages 83.2 FPS. This resolution offers the best balance between visual quality and performance, with even the most demanding preset clearing the 60 FPS threshold by a 23.2 FPS margin.

• 1920x1080: All four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 123 FPS. This is the most comfortable resolution for this combo, providing more than double the 60 FPS threshold at maximum settings.

The data shows that this combo is well-suited for 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 gaming in Fivem, where it can handle Ultra settings without issue. At 3840x2160, users will need to compromise on visual quality, using Medium settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The GPU's 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K at Medium settings, but the 42.1 FPS at Ultra indicates that the RTX 3080's raw compute power (29.77 TFLOPS FP32) is not enough for maximum settings at this resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

The optimal settings for each resolution, based on the measured FPS data and the playable threshold of 60 FPS, are as follows:

• 3840x2160: The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which averages 68.7 FPS. While Low averages 91.1 FPS, Medium provides a better visual experience while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the threshold. High (55.9 FPS) and Ultra (42.1 FPS) are not recommended at this resolution.

• 2560x1440: The best setting is Ultra, which averages 83.2 FPS. This is the highest preset available and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a significant margin. All other presets (Low, Medium, High) are also playable, but Ultra offers the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

• 1920x1080: The best setting is also Ultra, with an average of 123 FPS. This provides excellent visual quality and a frame rate that is more than double the threshold. The combo has enough headroom at this resolution to handle any preset, so users can select Ultra for the best experience.

These recommendations are based solely on the measured FPS data and the 60 FPS playable threshold. For users with high refresh rate monitors (144 Hz or above), the 1920x1080 Low preset at 252.9 FPS would be the best choice, while at 2560x1440, the Low preset at 164.2 FPS offers the highest frame rate. However, for the most balanced experience across visual quality and performance, the settings listed above are the optimal choices.
