Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Fivem, and the data shows a clear pattern: the higher the resolution, the more the GPU becomes the deciding factor. At 3840x2160, the combo starts at 77 FPS on High settings. Dropping to Medium yields 96 FPS average, with a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS. Low settings push the average to 122 FPS, while Ultra sits at exactly 60 FPS average — right at the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance headroom expands considerably. Low settings produce 219 FPS average, Medium hits 173 FPS with a 147 FPS minimum and 199 FPS maximum, and High reaches 138 FPS. Ultra at this resolution still manages 107 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS playability floor. The gap between Low and Ultra here is roughly 112 FPS, indicating that the GPU has ample headroom even when settings are maxed out.

The 1920x1080 results are where this combo truly stretches its legs. Low settings deliver a staggering 333 FPS average, Medium hits 263 FPS with a 223 FPS minimum and 302 FPS maximum, and High reaches 210 FPS. Ultra at 1080p still produces 163 FPS average. Notably, the min-to-max spread at Medium settings narrows as resolution drops — from a 28 FPS spread at 4K to a 79 FPS spread at 1080p — suggesting that CPU-side bottlenecks become more relevant at lower resolutions where the GPU is less taxed.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem, this specific pairing ranks 220th. That places it in the top 6% of all configurations tested, which is a strong showing for a multiplayer title that often favors raw thread performance. The CPU's percentile versus all processors sits at 92, while the GPU's percentile versus all graphics cards is 86 — both well above average, but the CPU is marginally stronger relative to its own field.

The rank of 220 out of 3,707 means there are 219 combos that outperform this one in Fivem, but the overwhelming majority of tested systems fall behind. Given that Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform, the data suggests this combo is positioned for high-refresh-rate play at most settings, with the 4K Ultra result being the only scenario that touches the 60 FPS line. The combination of a 12-core, 24-thread CPU with a 16 GB GPU places it in the upper echelon, though not at the absolute top — the top 219 combos likely include newer or more specialized hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, average FPS at Ultra drops from 163 to 107 — a 34% decrease. From 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, Ultra drops from 107 to 60 — a 44% decrease. This steepening curve indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is doing more of the heavy lifting, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

The Ryzen 9 9900X, with its Zen 5 architecture and 12 cores, provides substantial single-thread and multi-thread headroom. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 32,172 and single-core score of 2,253 suggest that Fivem's often CPU-intensive multiplayer logic benefits from this processor. At 1080p Low, the 333 FPS result is likely CPU-bound — the GPU could render more frames, but the CPU's per-thread performance sets the ceiling.

At 4K, the RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth come into play. The 77 FPS at High settings versus 60 FPS at Ultra shows that the GPU's shading and rasterization throughput is the primary constraint at this resolution. The medium preset's 96 FPS average with an 82 FPS minimum suggests that even at 4K, there's enough GPU headroom for smooth gameplay as long as settings don't max out.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Fivem — and it clears the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution and preset. At 3840x2160, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with Ultra averaging exactly 60 FPS. That's the tightest margin in the dataset, but it still meets the playability bar. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 107 FPS, which is nearly double the threshold and leaves substantial room for frame drops without dipping below 60. At 1920x1080, even the most demanding preset averages 163 FPS, making this combo ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

The verdict is straightforward: this system is overkill for 1080p play, comfortable at 1440p with maxed settings, and capable at 4K only if you're willing to accept 60 FPS at Ultra or higher frame rates at slightly reduced settings. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that sits exactly at the playable threshold, so players seeking a safety margin at 4K might prefer High settings, which deliver 77 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provides context for what else would behave similarly. The Ryzen 9 9900X's closest competitors include the AMD EPYC 9015, which scores 57,555 in avg benchmark — just 0.1% slower — and the AMD EPYC 7313 at 57,399, which is 0.2% faster. The Intel Core i9-14900 posts 58,115, or 1.1% ahead, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M reaches 58,323, 1.4% faster. Any of these processors paired with the RTX 4080 would deliver nearly identical Fivem performance, with differences well under 2%.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080's nearest rival is the RTX 4080 SUPER, which scores 54,209 — just 0.1% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% faster at 54,828, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and AMD Radeon 8060S are 2.6% and 2.7% faster, respectively, at 55,698 and 55,757. These deltas are small enough that in real-world Fivem gameplay, the differences would be imperceptible. A system with the RTX 4080 SUPER instead of the RTX 4080 would produce nearly identical frame rates, as would a build swapping the Ryzen 9 9900X for an Intel Core i9-14900.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages exactly 60 FPS. This is the maximum visual quality available at 4K, but players who want headroom should consider High at 77 FPS or Medium at 96 FPS. The data shows that Ultra at 4K is a borderline case — it meets the threshold but has no margin for demanding multiplayer scenarios.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, averaging 107 FPS. This gives players the full visual experience while maintaining nearly double the playable frame rate. The gap between Ultra and High at this resolution is 31 FPS, so dropping to High would yield 138 FPS for those prioritizing refresh rate over fidelity.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is again the best setting, delivering 163 FPS average. This is the clear sweet spot for this combo — maximum settings with frame rates that exceed most 144 Hz monitors' refresh rates. The 1080p Low preset reaches 333 FPS, which is useful for competitive play but far beyond what most displays can show. For the best balance of visual quality and performance at each resolution, the recommendation is Ultra at 1080p and 1440p, with Ultra at 4K only if 60 FPS is acceptable as a hard target.
