Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a versatile Fivem experience, with the data showing that 1440p and 1080p are fully playable at maximum settings, while 4K requires a settings compromise to stay above the 60 FPS threshold. Benchmark results indicate this combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, where it consistently clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with significant headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS data shows exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset delivers an average of 214 FPS, which is the highest measured average in the entire dataset. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 169 FPS, with a minimum of 144 FPS and a maximum of 194 FPS, indicating that even the lowest frame rates remain well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The High preset achieves 135 FPS on average, while the Ultra preset still maintains a strong 105 FPS average. This progression shows that the RTX 3070 has substantial headroom at 1080p, with the Ultra preset still delivering nearly double the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains robust but shows a predictable scaling penalty. The Low preset averages 141 FPS, which is a 34% reduction compared to the 1080p Low result. Medium settings produce an average of 111 FPS, with a minimum of 94 FPS and a maximum of 128 FPS, keeping the lowest frame rates comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. High settings average 89 FPS, while Ultra settings average 69 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the most demanding configuration that still clears the playable threshold, with the average sitting just 9 FPS above the 60 FPS mark.

At 3840x2160, the resolution scaling becomes more pronounced. The Low preset averages 78 FPS, which is the only 4K setting that provides substantial headroom above the playable threshold. Medium settings average 62 FPS, with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS, meaning the average is barely above the playable threshold but the minimum dips below it. High settings drop to 49 FPS, and Ultra settings average only 38 FPS. The data shows that 4K Ultra is not viable for maintaining 60 FPS, and even High settings fall short of the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals the distinct roles of the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is substantial, going from 214 FPS down to 105 FPS, which represents a 51% performance reduction. This large spread suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions, as the CPU has enough headroom to feed the graphics card at these frame rates. The 1080p Medium result of 169 FPS, compared to the 1440p Medium result of 111 FPS, shows a 34% drop when moving to a higher resolution, further indicating GPU-bound behavior.

At 1440p, the preset scaling shows a similar pattern, with Low at 141 FPS and Ultra at 69 FPS, a 51% reduction. The 4K results demonstrate an even more pronounced GPU bottleneck. Moving from 1440p Ultra at 69 FPS to 4K Ultra at 38 FPS represents a 45% drop, which is consistent with the increased pixel count demanding more from the RTX 3070. The CPU, with its Zen 3 architecture and 12 cores, appears to be less of a limiting factor at these settings, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the Ryzen 9 5900X is sufficient to keep the RTX 3070 well-fed, as evidenced by the 214 FPS Low preset result. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor, with the CPU's role diminishing as the pixel workload increases. The fact that 4K Medium produces 62 FPS while 4K High drops to 49 FPS indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute capabilities are the primary constraints at this resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, but only with reduced settings. The data shows that at 3840x2160, Low settings average 78 FPS and Medium settings average 62 FPS, both clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. However, High settings drop to 49 FPS and Ultra to 38 FPS, which are below the playable threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?

A: The verdict data indicates that Ultra settings at 2560x1440 produce an average of 69 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This makes Ultra the best playable setting at 1440p, as it provides the highest visual quality while maintaining playable frame rates.

Q: How does the 1080p performance compare to the 1440p performance?

A: At 1080p Ultra, the average is 105 FPS, while at 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 69 FPS. This represents a 34% reduction in performance when moving from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings preset.

Q: Is the RTX 3070 the bottleneck at 4K resolution?

A: The benchmark results indicate that at 3840x2160, the GPU is the limiting factor. The frame rates scale significantly with resolution, and the 4K Ultra preset only achieves 38 FPS, which is far below the playable threshold. The CPU's performance appears sufficient, as the frame rate drop from 1440p to 4K aligns with the increased pixel workload.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded across all tested settings?

A: The lowest minimum FPS recorded in the measured data is 52 FPS, which occurs at 4K Medium settings. This is below the playable threshold, even though the average for this setting is 62 FPS.

Q: Does the 1080p Low preset provide enough performance for high-refresh-rate monitors?

A: Yes, the 1080p Low preset averages 214 FPS, which is more than enough for 144Hz or even 240Hz monitors. The 1080p Medium preset also provides an average of 169 FPS, which is suitable for high-refresh-rate displays.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Fivem at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions, with the caveat that 4K requires specific settings. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with the Ultra preset achieving an average of 105 FPS. This makes 1080p the most versatile resolution for this combo, allowing players to use maximum settings while maintaining nearly double the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is equally positive, with all four presets clearing the 60 FPS mark. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 69 FPS, which is the best visual quality available while staying above the playable threshold. This makes 1440p an excellent choice for players who want a balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more nuanced. The verdict data lists Low and Medium as playable settings, with Medium being the best playable option at an average of 62 FPS. However, the minimum FPS at Medium is 52 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. Players seeking consistent 60 FPS at 4K should consider the Low preset, which averages 78 FPS. For those willing to accept occasional dips below 60 FPS, Medium provides better visual quality while still maintaining a playable average.
