Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a consistent 60+ FPS experience across most configurations in Fivem, with the data indicating that the primary limitation emerges only at 4K with the Ultra preset. This combination places the CPU at the 92nd percentile among all tested processors and the GPU at the 81st percentile among all tested graphics cards, suggesting a balanced pairing where neither component bottlenecks the other in a dramatic fashion. The measured frame rates show a clear scaling pattern tied to both resolution and graphical preset, with the most demanding settings at the highest resolution being the only scenario where the average frame rate dips below the playable threshold of 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system exhibits its highest performance ceiling. The Low preset produces an average of 261.5 FPS, which is the fastest measured result across the entire test matrix. Moving to Medium reduces the average to 204.4 FPS, while High delivers 162.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p still maintains a robust 129.3 FPS average, which is more than double the playable threshold. This resolution shows the widest spread between the lowest and highest presets, with a difference of 132.2 FPS between Low and Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but the scaling becomes more pronounced. The Low preset averages 168.5 FPS, while Medium drops to 133.5 FPS. High settings yield 104.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 83.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 85.3 FPS, which is narrower than at 1080p but still substantial. All four presets at 1440p remain comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding Ultra preset providing a 23.2 FPS margin over the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens considerably. The Low preset produces 96.3 FPS, which is the only 4K result that approaches triple-digit performance. Medium drops to 74.9 FPS, and High falls to 61 FPS, which sits just one frame above the playable threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to maintain 60 FPS, averaging 45.1 FPS. This represents a 16.4 FPS deficit compared to High at the same resolution, illustrating the significant cost of enabling Ultra settings at 4K.

Across all resolutions, the data shows no min or max frame rate values, only averages. The differences between presets follow a consistent pattern: Low to Medium typically incurs a 16-21% performance penalty, Medium to High an additional 18-22% penalty, and High to Ultra a further 15-20% penalty, though these percentages vary by resolution. The 4K Ultra result is the outlier, showing a 26% drop from High to Ultra, which is the largest single-step decline in the dataset.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates reach 261.5 FPS on Low, which indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates. The 12-core, 24-thread processor with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz provides ample single-thread performance for Fivem's multiplayer environments, where server-side and client-side simulation logic often taxes the primary threads.

Moving from 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by roughly 35% on each preset, which is a typical indication that the GPU is becoming more involved in the rendering pipeline. The RTX 4070 with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and a 192-bit memory bus shows it can maintain high frame rates at this resolution, but the reduction from 261.5 to 168.5 FPS on Low suggests the GPU is now the limiting factor. The 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth becomes more relevant as pixel count increases.

At 4K, the GPU clearly dominates the performance equation. The Low preset drops to 96.3 FPS, which is a 42.9% reduction from the 1440p Low result. The Ultra preset at 4K falls to 45.1 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4070's 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient for the combined load of 8.3 million pixels and the most demanding settings. The CPU's role diminishes at this resolution, as the frame rate becomes constrained by the GPU's rendering throughput.

The preset scaling within each resolution further clarifies the component split. At 1080p, going from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 261.5 to 129.3 FPS, a 50.6% drop that reflects the GPU's increased workload from higher-quality textures, shadows, and effects. At 1440p, the same preset change results in a 50.6% reduction from 168.5 to 83.2 FPS. At 4K, the drop from Low to Ultra is 53.2% from 96.3 to 45.1 FPS. The consistency of these percentages suggests that the GPU is the dominant constraint across all resolutions, with the CPU contributing enough headroom that it does not become the primary bottleneck even at 1080p with the Low preset.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X provide context for its CPU-level performance. The AMD EPYC 9015 has an average score of 57555, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 9 9900X's average of 57498. The AMD EPYC 7313 scores 57399, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i9-14900 scores 58115, which is 1.1% higher, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M scores 58323, a 1.4% difference. These delta values indicate that the Ryzen 9 9900X sits in a tight performance band where the closest alternatives are within roughly 1.5% of its average score, meaning users would see negligible frame rate differences when swapping among these processors in Fivem.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070's nearest rivals show similar clustering. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, just 0.1% higher than the RTX 4070's 37648. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, a 0.4% difference. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, which is 1.3% higher, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157, a 1.3% difference. These alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, with the RTX 4080 Mobile offering a marginal improvement and the Radeon PRO W6400 a marginal deficit.

A user considering a system with any of these comparable components would expect Fivem performance within a very narrow band of the measured results. The combination of a CPU in the 57498-58323 average score range and a GPU in the 37157-38135 range would yield the same playable settings at each resolution, with the 4K Ultra preset remaining the only configuration below 60 FPS.

The Verdict

Based on the verdictByResolution data, this PC can run Fivem at all three tested resolutions with the High preset or lower. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium, with High providing an average of 61 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a single frame. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, averaging 45.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 83.2 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 129.3 FPS.

The system is unequivocally capable of running Fivem at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings. At 4K, users must choose between High settings at 61 FPS or Medium settings at 74.9 FPS to maintain a playable experience. The data shows a clear boundary: 4K Ultra is the only configuration where the RTX 4070's compute resources are insufficient, likely due to the combination of high pixel count and the most demanding visual effects.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best settings that remain at or above 60 FPS are High, with an average of 61 FPS. This is the only 4K preset that stays within the playable threshold while offering the highest visual quality. The Medium preset at 74.9 FPS provides more headroom but sacrifices the visual fidelity of High settings.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 83.2 FPS. This configuration delivers the maximum visual quality while maintaining a 23.2 FPS margin above the playable threshold. The 1440p Ultra result is 22.1 FPS higher than the 4K High result, indicating that the resolution reduction provides substantial performance headroom.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average of 129.3 FPS. This configuration provides the highest average frame rate among all Ultra presets, with a 69.3 FPS margin above the playable threshold. The 1080p Ultra result is 46.1 FPS higher than the 1440p Ultra result, confirming that the GPU has significant reserve capacity at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested hardware combinations in the Fivem benchmark database, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 963rd out of 3707 total combos. This places the system in the top 26% of all tested configurations, which is consistent with the CPU's 92nd percentile ranking and the GPU's 81st percentile ranking. The combination of a high-end processor and an upper-midrange graphics card produces a system that outperforms roughly three-quarters of all tested setups in this game.

The rank indicates that while this is not a top-tier configuration for Fivem, it is solidly above the median. The gap between the CPU's percentile and the GPU's percentile suggests that the graphics card is the limiting factor in determining the overall ranking, as the processor has more headroom relative to other CPUs than the GPU has relative to other GPUs. Users seeking higher rankings would need to pair a more powerful GPU with this CPU, while the CPU itself is unlikely to constrain performance in most Fivem scenarios.
