Fivem

This analysis examines the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 in Fivem, based on benchmark data collected for this specific configuration. The data covers four graphics presets across three resolutions, providing a comprehensive view of how this combination handles the game. The results are clear and consistent, showing strong performance at lower resolutions with predictable scaling as load increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo in Fivem shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptionally high frame rates, starting at 251.6 FPS on Low settings. This drops to 197.6 FPS on Medium, 154.3 FPS on High, and 120.7 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, representing a 52% reduction in average FPS, yet even the most demanding preset at this resolution remains far above playable thresholds.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern persists with more moderate absolute numbers. Low settings produce 162.6 FPS, Medium produces 129.3 FPS, High produces 106 FPS, and Ultra produces 81.2 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows an average reduction of roughly 35% across presets, indicating that the GPU is becoming more involved in the rendering workload as pixel count increases. The Ultra preset at 1440p still maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, which is notable for a multiplayer title with potentially many concurrent entities.

At 3840x2160, performance drops more sharply. Low settings yield 92.7 FPS, Medium yields 71.6 FPS, High yields 59.5 FPS, and Ultra yields 46.8 FPS. This resolution reveals the limits of this combination, as the High preset falls just below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra dips to under 47 FPS. The difference between Medium and High at 4K is only 12.1 FPS, suggesting the GPU is hitting a bandwidth or compute ceiling rather than being limited by the CPU’s processing capacity.

The data shows no min or max FPS values were recorded, so this analysis relies solely on average FPS. Notably, the step from Medium to High at 4K costs more in relative terms (17% drop) than the step from High to Ultra at 1080p (22% drop). This indicates that the game’s Ultra preset introduces effects that scale disproportionately with resolution, likely related to shadow quality and draw distance.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that still achieves at least 60 FPS average is identified. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering 120.7 FPS. This is more than double the playable threshold, leaving ample headroom for multiplayer scenarios where frame times can spike. At 2560x1440, Ultra also qualifies with 81.2 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS line. This allows users to run the game at maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Ultra falls far below the threshold at 46.8 FPS, and High is also insufficient at 59.5 FPS, missing the target by just 0.5 FPS. The best playable setting at 4K is Medium, which produces 71.6 FPS. This means users targeting 4K must compromise on visual fidelity, dropping from High to Medium, to maintain a playable experience. The Low preset at 4K also works at 92.7 FPS, but Medium offers a better balance of quality and performance. The verdict data confirms these findings, listing Medium as the best 4K setting, Ultra as the best 1440p setting, and Ultra as the best 1080p setting.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates in this game at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays the primary role. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 1212 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2080, allows the RTX 3080 to push very high frame rates even at Ultra settings. The 120.7 FPS at 1080p Ultra suggests the GPU is not fully saturated, as the frame rate is high but not near the GPU’s theoretical ceiling.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The 35% average FPS drop from 1080p indicates that the RTX 3080’s rendering throughput is becoming a limiting factor. The GPU’s 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this resolution, but the increased pixel count demands more from the rasterization pipeline. The CPU still keeps up, as evidenced by the relatively small drop between Low and Ultra presets at 1440p (81.2 FPS vs 162.6 FPS, a 50% reduction, which is less than the 52% reduction at 1080p).

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The RTX 3080’s 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 164.2 GPixel/s pixel rate are stressed by the four times the pixel count of 1080p. The CPU’s role diminishes, as even the strongest processor cannot compensate for the GPU’s inability to fill frames at 4K. This is evident from the fact that moving from Medium to High at 4K costs 12.1 FPS, while moving from High to Ultra costs another 12.7 FPS. The CPU is not the constraint here; the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute units are saturated.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly. For the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the closest matches in average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (with a deltaPct of -0.8%), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (deltaPct -0.7%), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS (deltaPct 0.4%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 (deltaPct 0.7%). These CPUs have average scores ranging from 39485 to 40081, compared to the 9800X3D’s 39768. In Fivem, these processors would likely produce similar frame rates at 1080p where the CPU is more influential, though the 9800X3D’s 3D V-Cache may provide advantages in specific multiplayer scenarios.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon R9 M290X (deltaPct -0.4%), the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (deltaPct -0.4%), the NVIDIA P106-100 (deltaPct -0.3%), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 (deltaPct -0.3%). These GPUs have average scores from 23249 to 23276, compared to the RTX 3080’s 23172. This is a tight cluster, suggesting these cards would produce nearly identical FPS in Fivem, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU is the limiting factor. The tiny deltas mean users with these alternatives would see less than 1% difference in average performance.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ranks 1039 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 72nd percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 28% of tested combos perform better. Given the CPU’s high percentile (87th among all CPUs) and the GPU’s more modest percentile (68th among all GPUs), the ranking is likely held back by the GPU. The RTX 3080, while capable, is not top-tier in 2024, and the 4K results reflect this. The combo’s rank suggests it is a solid mid-to-high-end system for Fivem, but not an elite one. The 3707 total combos represent a wide range of hardware, and this setup sits comfortably above the median.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem effectively across all tested resolutions, with specific caveats at 4K. At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent performance, with every preset clearing 60 FPS, and Ultra achieving 120.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system also performs strongly, with Ultra hitting 81.2 FPS, making it a viable choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 3840x2160, the system is playable but requires settings adjustments: Medium is the best preset at 71.6 FPS, while High falls just short at 59.5 FPS, and Ultra is not recommended at 46.8 FPS.
