Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly capable Fivem experience across the board, though the data reveals that 4K gaming requires careful settings management. This combination sits at rank 2046 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the upper half of the database but not at the absolute top tier. The measured frame rates show a system that excels at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K demands compromises.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a complete picture of this combo's performance envelope. At 1920x1080, the system produces outstanding results. Low settings yield an average of 186.5 FPS, Medium reaches 147.6 FPS, High hits 119 FPS, and even Ultra maintains a strong 91.6 FPS average. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 4060 has plenty of headroom, and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D ensures no CPU bottleneck occurs even at the highest preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains very playable across all settings. Low settings produce 126.3 FPS average, Medium delivers 97.1 FPS, High achieves 80.2 FPS, and Ultra still clears the 60 FPS threshold with 62.6 FPS average. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is noticeable but not drastic, with the Ultra preset losing roughly 29 FPS. This suggests the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor at this resolution, though the CPU's strong single-thread performance helps maintain high minimums.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings produce a playable 68.8 FPS average, but Medium drops to 52.2 FPS, High falls to 40.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 31.4 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep, with Ultra losing about 31 FPS. The RTX 4060's 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become evident at this resolution, as the data shows a clear GPU-bound scenario. The 4K results demonstrate that this combo is not designed for high-fidelity 4K gaming in Fivem, but low settings remain viable.

The lack of min and max FPS data in the measured results means the analysis relies on averages, but the pattern across resolutions is consistent and predictable. The delta between Low and Ultra presets grows with resolution: at 1080p the gap is 94.9 FPS, at 1440p it is 63.7 FPS, and at 4K it is 37.4 FPS. This shrinking gap at higher resolutions further confirms the GPU becomes the primary constraint as pixel count increases.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 2046 out of 3707 tested combinations, this Ryzen 7 9800X3D plus RTX 4060 pairing sits just past the midpoint of the database, at approximately the 55th percentile. This ranking reflects the balance between the extremely capable CPU and the mid-range GPU. The CPU alone ranks in the 87th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile among all graphics cards, so the combo's overall position makes sense given the GPU drags down the average.

The rank indicates that many combinations with stronger GPUs will outperform this setup in Fivem, which is a game that scales significantly with graphics hardware at higher resolutions. However, the ranking also shows that this combo beats a substantial number of alternatives, particularly those with weaker CPUs or older graphics architectures. The data suggests that for 1080p gaming, this combo would rank much higher than its overall position, as the CPU's strengths are fully utilized at lower resolutions.

In the context of the database, this rank means the combo is neither a standout nor a laggard. It represents a sensible pairing where the CPU has longevity for future GPU upgrades, but the current GPU limits the system's peak performance in demanding scenarios. The 3707 total combos tested provide a broad comparison pool, and the 2046 rank places this setup in the middle of the pack, with plenty of room for improvement if the GPU were upgraded.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data clearly shows how the balance of responsibility shifts between the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 4060 as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a dominant role. The high frame rates across all presets—from 186.5 FPS at Low to 91.6 FPS at Ultra—indicate that the CPU's 8 cores, 16 threads, and 96 MB of L3 cache are feeding the GPU efficiently. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its Passmark single-thread score of 4430, ensures Fivem's game logic and simulation threads are handled without bottleneck.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. The frame rate drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 35-38% across presets, which aligns with the increased pixel count. The RTX 4060's 3072 shading units and 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance become more relevant here. The Ultra preset at 1440p still achieves 62.6 FPS, showing that the GPU can keep up with the CPU at this resolution, but the margin above 60 FPS is slim compared to 1080p.

The 4K results decisively show the GPU as the limiting factor. The RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth struggle with the 3840x2160 pixel count. The fact that Low settings produce 68.8 FPS while High drops to 40.7 FPS indicates the GPU is overwhelmed by the rendering load. Meanwhile, the CPU likely has significant headroom at 4K, as the frame rates are far below what the Ryzen 7 9800X3D could theoretically support. The scaling between resolutions confirms that this is a GPU-bound system at 4K, CPU-bound at 1080p, and balanced at 1440p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components helps contextualize the performance. For the CPU, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's average benchmark score of 39768 is closely matched by several alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS scores 39603, just 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40048, which is 0.7% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 scores 39485, 0.7% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 scores 40081, 0.8% higher. These deltas are all within 1%, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Fivem, assuming the GPU remains the same.

For the GPU, the RTX 4060's average benchmark score of 17639 is similarly bracketed by close rivals. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, just 0.2% higher. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% lower. These GPUs would all produce very similar frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same CPU. The tight clustering of these scores means that swapping to any of these alternatives would yield less than a 1% change in overall performance.

The practical implication is that this combo's performance profile is reproducible with several hardware combinations. A system using a Ryzen 7 7700 instead of the 9800X3D would behave almost identically in Fivem, as would a system with a Radeon 780M instead of the RTX 4060. This makes the combo's performance characteristics fairly representative of a broad range of mid-range to upper-mid-range hardware from the same era.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, producing 91.6 FPS average. This is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, and the high frame rate means the system has headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios where many players and vehicles are on screen. The data shows that even at Ultra, this combo delivers a smooth experience at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with 62.6 FPS average. This just clears the 60 FPS threshold, making it a viable choice for players who prioritize visual quality. However, the margin is thin, so players who want more consistent performance might prefer High settings at 80.2 FPS average. The data suggests that Ultra at 1440p is playable but leaves little room for FPS drops in busy areas.

At 3840x2160, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Low, with 68.8 FPS average. Medium settings drop to 52.2 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. This means 4K players must accept significant visual compromises to maintain smooth gameplay. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 16.6 FPS, indicating that the step up in quality comes at a steep performance cost.

The verdict by resolution confirms these findings. At 1080p, all four presets are playable, with Ultra being the best option. At 1440p, all presets are playable, with Ultra just clearing 60 FPS. At 4K, only Low is playable, making it the recommended choice for 4K displays.

The Verdict

This PC can definitely run Fivem, and it runs it well at most resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra stays above 60 FPS, with Ultra delivering 91.6 FPS average. This means players can max out the game's visual settings at 1080p without worrying about performance. At 2560x1440, the system also handles all presets, with Ultra achieving 62.6 FPS average, which is playable but close to the threshold. Players who prefer a safety margin at 1440p should consider High settings at 80.2 FPS.

The only problematic scenario is 3840x2160 with medium or higher presets. At 4K, Medium drops to 52.2 FPS, High to 40.7 FPS, and Ultra to 31.4 FPS, all below the 60 FPS playable threshold. However, Low settings at 4K produce 68.8 FPS, so the game remains playable on a 4K display if visual quality is sacrificed. The data shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it provides excellent performance across all settings.

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D's strong CPU performance ensures that Fivem's multiplayer components, which can be demanding on the processor, are handled with ease. The RTX 4060 is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, but for the majority of players using 1080p or 1440p monitors, this combination delivers a smooth, high-quality experience. The system's rank of 2046 out of 3707 confirms it is a solid mid-pack performer, capable of running Fivem without issues at the most common gaming resolutions.
