Fivem

The data places the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination in the 143rd position out of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 4% of all systems tested. This is a high-end pairing where the RTX 4090's raw graphics throughput meets a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 3 processor that still holds an 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The benchmark results show a system that is heavily overqualified for Fivem's demands, with the playable threshold of 60 FPS being cleared by a wide margin at every resolution and preset combination tested. What is particularly striking is how the frame rates scale — the gap between the weakest and strongest results spans from 66 FPS at 4K Ultra to 305 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating that the system's performance ceiling is rarely approached by this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured average frame rates show a clear progression through the four presets. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 66 FPS, which is exactly 6 FPS above the playable threshold of 60 FPS. Dropping to High raises the average to 85 FPS, a 28.8% improvement over Ultra. The Medium preset produces 106 FPS on average, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS, showing that even the frame dips stay far above the playable line. The Low preset at 4K reaches 135 FPS average, which is more than double the Ultra result. This 4K data suggests the RTX 4090 is the dominant factor here, as the resolution demands push the GPU to its limits, particularly at Ultra where the 66 FPS average is the only result that approaches the 60 FPS threshold.

The 2560x1440 results demonstrate a substantial leap in performance across all presets. The Ultra preset averages 119 FPS, which is 80% higher than the 4K Ultra result. High settings at 1440p reach 153 FPS average, while Medium produces 191 FPS with a minimum of 163 and a maximum of 220. The Low preset at 1440p is exceptionally fast at 242 FPS average. The scaling from 4K to 1440p shows a consistent pattern: every preset gains roughly 80% more performance, which is a typical indication that the GPU is becoming less constrained and the CPU's role is growing, though the Ryzen 9 5900X has ample headroom given its 24 threads.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates become extraordinarily high. The Ultra preset averages 180 FPS, which is 51% higher than the 1440p Ultra result. High settings produce 232 FPS average, while Medium reaches 280 FPS with a minimum of 238 and a maximum of 322. The Low preset tops out at 305 FPS average. These 1080p numbers suggest that the CPU is now playing a more significant role, as the frame rate growth from 1440p to 1080p is smaller than the growth from 4K to 1440p — the RTX 4090 is so fast at this resolution that the Ryzen 9 5900X's instruction throughput becomes a more meaningful constraint, particularly in multiplayer scenarios where Fivem's server-side logic can create CPU-bound sections.

FAQ

Q: Can this system maintain 60 FPS at 4K with Ultra settings?

A: Yes, the measured average at 3840x2160 Ultra is 66 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by 10%. However, this is the tightest margin in the entire dataset, and the lack of a reported minimum frame rate at this preset means there is no data on whether dips below 60 FPS occur during intense scenes.

Q: How much performance is gained by dropping from Ultra to High at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 119 FPS while High averages 153 FPS. This represents a 28.6% increase in average frame rate, which is a substantial improvement for a single preset step down, suggesting that Ultra at 1440p includes some particularly demanding effects that the RTX 4090 handles with less efficiency.

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded across all tests?

A: The 1920x1080 Low preset produces the highest average at 305 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p is close behind at 280 FPS, and even the maximum frame rate recorded in the dataset is 322 FPS, which occurs at 1080p Medium.

Q: Does the system show any signs of CPU bottlenecking at lower resolutions?

A: The frame rate growth from 1440p to 1080p is smaller than the growth from 4K to 1440p. For example, Ultra goes from 119 FPS at 1440p to 180 FPS at 1080p (a 51% increase), while the 4K to 1440p jump for Ultra is from 66 FPS to 119 FPS (an 80% increase). This diminishing return indicates the CPU is beginning to limit performance at 1080p, though the Ryzen 9 5900X's 24 threads still keep averages well above 180 FPS.

Q: How does the combo rank compare to other tested systems?

A: The combination ranks 143rd out of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the top 3.9% of all systems, which is consistent with the high measured frame rates but also shows that there are 142 other combinations that perform even better in this specific game.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded at 4K Medium?

A: The 3840x2160 Medium preset has a reported minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS, with an average of 106 FPS. This is the only 4K preset where both minimum and maximum values are provided, and the 90 FPS minimum is still 50% above the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in component responsibility as resolution changes. At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. The RTX 4090's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth are being fully utilized, as evidenced by the relatively modest frame rates at 4K Ultra (66 FPS) compared to lower resolutions. The Ryzen 9 5900X, with its 64 MB of L3 cache and 24 threads, has minimal influence at this resolution because the GPU's pixel and texture throughput becomes the bottleneck first.

Moving to 2560x1440, the balance shifts noticeably. The average frame rates across all presets increase by roughly 80% compared to 4K, which closely matches the reduction in pixel count (8.3 million pixels at 4K versus 3.7 million at 1440p, a 55% reduction) — the GPU is still the primary constraint, but the CPU's role grows because the frame time budget shrinks. The Ryzen 9 5900X's single-thread score of 941 in 3dmark and 3,469 in Passmark becomes more relevant as frame rates approach 200 FPS, where per-frame CPU work takes a larger share of the total time.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's influence becomes unmistakable. The frame rate growth from 1440p is only about 50% despite a further 44% reduction in pixel count. This compression of scaling indicates that the Ryzen 9 5900X is approaching its throughput ceiling for Fivem's game logic and draw call processing. The 305 FPS at Low settings and 180 FPS at Ultra suggest that Fivem's engine has a practical frame rate limit around 300 FPS with this CPU, regardless of how much GPU headroom the RTX 4090 has. The multi-threaded performance of the 5900X, with a Passmark multithread score of 39,002, helps in crowded multiplayer areas, but the per-core performance (single-thread Passmark of 3,469) is what defines the upper ceiling at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 143 out of 3,707 places this system in the 96.1st percentile of all tested configurations for Fivem. This is a strong result, but the ranking is more modest than the raw hardware might suggest. The RTX 4090 sits in the 88th percentile among all GPUs, and the Ryzen 9 5900X is in the 87th percentile among all CPUs, so the combination performs slightly better than either component's individual percentile would predict. This suggests that Fivem's engine responds well to the combination of high single-threaded CPU performance and massive GPU bandwidth.

The 142 systems that rank above this combo likely include configurations with newer CPUs that have higher single-thread performance, such as the Ryzen 7000-series or Intel 13th/14th-gen parts, which would provide better 1080p performance in Fivem's CPU-bound moments. The data shows that the 5900X's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i7-14650HX with an average score of 41,576 (0.5% higher) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H at 41,263 (0.3% lower) — are all within a 1% performance band, meaning the CPU is not a distinguishing factor in this ranking. The GPU, similarly, has nearest rivals like the Intel Arc Pro A60 (0% delta) and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (0.3% higher) that are virtually identical in average benchmark scores, but the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth give it unique advantages in texture-heavy scenarios that Fivem may not fully exploit.

The Verdict

This system can run Fivem at every resolution and preset combination tested, with all twelve measured configurations clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 66 FPS, which clears the threshold by just 6 FPS — this is the only borderline result, and the lack of minimum frame data at Ultra makes it the only setting where temporary dips below 60 FPS are theoretically possible. The High preset at 4K is more comfortable at 85 FPS average, and Medium and Low are decisively above the line at 106 and 135 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, every preset delivers well above 60 FPS, with the lowest result being Ultra at 119 FPS average. The 1440p Medium preset, with its reported minimum of 163 FPS, shows that even the worst-case frame dips are nearly three times the playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the system is essentially unconstrained, with even the most demanding Ultra preset averaging 180 FPS. The verdict is clear: this PC is more than capable of running Fivem at maximum quality on any resolution, and only the 4K Ultra preset requires any consideration of the 60 FPS floor.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with a measured average of 66 FPS. This is the optimal choice for 4K because it provides the highest visual quality while still clearing the threshold, though the margin is slim. For users who prioritize frame rate stability over absolute visual fidelity, the High preset at 85 FPS average offers a much larger safety margin.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is again the best choice, averaging 119 FPS. This provides 59 FPS of headroom above the playable threshold, making it a safe and visually excellent option. The 1440p Medium preset at 191 FPS would be preferable for competitive play, but for general use, Ultra is the clear recommendation.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 180 FPS, which is three times the playable threshold. This is the best setting per the data — there is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution, as the system has massive headroom even at maximum quality. The 1080p Medium preset reaches 280 FPS, but the visual quality loss is not justified when Ultra still delivers 180 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X are all within a 0.5% performance delta. The Intel Core i7-14650HX has an average benchmark score of 41,576, which is 0.5% higher than the 5900X's 41,376 average. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H scores 41,263 (0.3% lower), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 scores 41,208 (0.4% lower). These four CPUs form a tight performance cluster, meaning that swapping the 5900X for any of these would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. The i7-14650HX would be the most direct upgrade in terms of raw CPU benchmark performance, though the difference is negligible in practice.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals to the RTX 4090 include the Intel Arc Pro A60 with an average score of 60,326 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60,140 (0.3% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61,896 (2.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 at 58,657 (2.9% lower). The Arc Pro A60 and Pro Vega 48 are essentially performance twins to the RTX 4090 in synthetic benchmarks, but they lack the 4090's 24 GB memory capacity and its 1.01 TB/s bandwidth. In Fivem specifically, the measured frame rates would likely be similar, though the 4090's superior texture throughput could provide an edge in heavily modded scenarios. The Radeon Pro W6600M, despite its higher average score, would not offer any tangible benefit in this game, and the PRO V710 would be a slight step down.
