Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an extremely high-end combination for running Fivem, a multiplayer title that can be demanding due to its open-world nature and many concurrent players. The data shows this combo ranks in the 96th percentile among all tested combos, sitting at rank 146 out of 3707 total combinations. This places it firmly in the top tier of systems capable of running the game, with measured FPS figures that clear the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. The following analysis breaks down how this hardware behaves in Fivem, what alternatives exist, and which settings to use for the best experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 146 out of 3707 tested combinations puts this system in the top 4% of all hardware pairings evaluated for Fivem. That is an elite position, and it reflects the sheer capability of both components working together. The Ryzen 9 5950X itself holds a percentileVsAllCpus of 91, meaning it outperforms 91% of all CPUs in the database, while the RTX 4090 has a percentileVsAllGpus of 88, outperforming 88% of all GPUs. When combined, these two top-tier parts produce FPS numbers that are rarely matched.

Benchmark results indicate the system is not just playable but exceptionally smooth at all tested settings. At 1920x1080, the lowest average FPS recorded is 178 on the Ultra preset, while Low settings push that to 304.4 FPS. This is far beyond what a standard 60 Hz or even 144 Hz monitor can display. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still delivers 119.3 FPS, and Low settings reach 241.4 FPS. Even at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 65.8, just above the 60 FPS threshold, while High settings at 4K produce 82 FPS. The data clearly shows this combo never dips below the playable threshold in any tested configuration.

What makes this ranking more impressive is that it is measured data, not theoretical estimation. The measuredFps fields show actual average FPS from testing, and every value is above 60. The rank of 146 out of 3707 means there are only 145 other combinations that perform better across the entire database, which includes many other high-end CPUs and GPUs. For a multiplayer game like Fivem, where frame drops can occur during heavy player activity or complex scenes, having this kind of headroom is a significant advantage. The system is not merely adequate; it is overkill for most users, but that overkill translates into consistent, high-frame-rate gameplay.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearestRivals for the CPU, the Ryzen 9 5950X's average benchmark score is 51947, and the closest competitors are remarkably close. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX has an avgScore of 52073, which is a deltaPct of -0.2, meaning it is essentially identical in performance. The AMD EPYC 8124P scores 52121, a -0.3 deltaPct, also virtually the same. The Intel Core i9-13900F is slightly behind at 51730, a +0.4 deltaPct from the 5950X's perspective, and the Intel Core i7-14700 leads slightly at 52301, a -0.7 deltaPct. These four CPUs would all behave nearly identically in Fivem, with differences so small they would be imperceptible in real-world gameplay. If a builder already has one of these chips, they should expect the same level of CPU performance as the 5950X.

For the GPU, the RTX 4090 has an avgBenchmarkScore of 60347. Its nearestRivals include the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326, a 0 deltaPct, meaning it is essentially a tie. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140, a +0.3 deltaPct, also nearly identical. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is slightly faster at 61896, a -2.5 deltaPct from the 4090's perspective, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is a bit slower at 58657, a +2.9 deltaPct. These GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Fivem, though the RTX 4090's lead over the slower rivals is small. However, it is notably the RTX 4090 has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and a memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s, which could matter in texture-heavy scenes, but the benchmark scores suggest these alternatives are close in raw compute.

When considering a similar overall combo, replacing the 5950X with any of its rivals would not change Fivem performance meaningfully, since the FPS is likely GPU-bound at lower resolutions and CPU-bound at higher ones, but the deltaPct values are all under 3%. Similarly, swapping the RTX 4090 for one of its rivals would keep average FPS within a few percent. In practical terms, a system with an Intel Core i9-13900F and an Intel Arc Pro A60 would behave similarly to this combo, though the specific FPS figures in the measuredFps would vary slightly.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data from measuredFps reveals how the CPU and GPU split the workload in Fivem across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the game is heavily CPU-bound. The difference between Low settings at 304.4 FPS and Ultra settings at 178 FPS is substantial, but note that even at Low, the FPS is capped by CPU performance rather than GPU capability. The GPU has so much headroom at 1080p that it is not the limiting factor. The Ryzen 9 5950X, with its 16 cores and 32 threads, is doing the heavy lifting here. Its 3dmark_8_threads score of 6598 and 3dmark_16_threads score of 10810 suggest strong multi-threaded performance, which is relevant for Fivem's many simulated entities. The single-thread performance, with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 944 and a passmark_single_thread score of 3470, is also solid, ensuring that the main game thread is not a bottleneck.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts. Low settings produce 241.4 FPS, Medium 192 FPS, High 152.1 FPS, and Ultra 119.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 50% reduction in FPS, indicating that the GPU is starting to become more important as resolution increases. But the CPU is still contributing significantly, as the 5950X's strong multi-threaded scores keep the frame rate high even at Ultra. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. Low settings drop to 136.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 65.8 FPS. The 4K resolution demands much more from the RTX 4090, and the FPS scales clearly with preset. The RTX 4090's 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 score of 9223 and passmark_g3d score of 38194 reflect its ability to handle 4K, but the demands of Fivem at 4K Ultra push it near the 60 FPS threshold.

The key insight is that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU matters more relative to the GPU, because the RTX 4090 is not stressed. At 4K, the GPU matters more, and the CPU's role diminishes. For users with a 4K monitor, the RTX 4090 is the critical component; for 1080p or 1440p gaming, the Ryzen 9 5950X's CPU performance is what allows such massive frame rates. The scaling between resolutions shows this: at Low settings, going from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS from 304.4 to 241.4 (a 21% drop), and from 1440p to 4K reduces it from 241.4 to 136.3 (a 44% drop). At Ultra settings, the drops are 178 to 119.3 (33%) and then 119.3 to 65.8 (45%). The larger drop at 4K confirms the GPU becomes the bottleneck there.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Fivem, and it does so exceptionally well. The verdictByResolution data is unambiguous: at every resolution and every preset, the average FPS exceeds the playableThresholdFps of 60. At 3840x2160, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are listed as playable, with Ultra delivering an average of 65.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true, with Ultra at 119.3 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra hits 178 FPS, and even the lowest preset (Low) produces 304.4 FPS. There is no configuration where this combo fails to clear 60 FPS, which is the standard for smooth gameplay.

For 4K users, the Ultra preset is playable but leaves little headroom. The 65.8 FPS average means that in demanding scenes with many players or heavy effects, the frame rate could dip below 60, though the data does not provide minimum FPS values to confirm. To maintain a more comfortable margin, High settings at 4K produce 82 FPS, which is safer. For 1440p and 1080p, Ultra is not just playable but far above 60 FPS, so users can enable maximum settings without concern. This system is effectively a top-tier choice for Fivem, capable of running the game at its highest visual quality at any resolution tested.

A: The best settings for 2560x1440 are Ultra, which deliver an average of 119.3 FPS. All presets are playable, but Ultra provides the highest visual quality while remaining well above 60 FPS.

Q: Does the game use the CPU's 16 cores effectively?

A: The 5950X's multi-threaded benchmark scores, such as a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 26017 and a passmark_multithread score of 45424, are strong. The measured FPS at 1080p, where the CPU is the bottleneck, shows that the processor handles Fivem's workload effectively, but the data does not specify core utilization.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 65.8 FPS. This is the highest preset available, and it just clears the playable threshold. However, users who want a larger safety margin might consider High settings, which average 82 FPS, but Ultra is technically playable and the best visual option.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, delivering an average of 119.3 FPS. This is far above 60 FPS, so there is no reason to reduce quality. The 119.3 FPS figure provides excellent smoothness on high refresh rate monitors, and the system handles the resolution with ease.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 178 FPS. This is more than enough for any monitor, including 165 Hz or 240 Hz displays. The 178 FPS at Ultra means users can enable all visual features without sacrificing playability. For those with very high refresh rate monitors, Low settings reach 304.4 FPS, but that is not necessary for a smooth experience. The data recommends Ultra for the best balance of visual fidelity and performance at each resolution.
