Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptional performance in Fivem, with measured frame rates that consistently exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold across all tested resolutions and settings. The data indicates this combination ranks in the 95th percentile of 3,707 tested combos, placing it among the top-tier configurations for this multiplayer title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces outstanding results across all four settings presets. The Low preset yields an average of 367 FPS, while Medium reaches 290.3 FPS. High settings deliver 233.6 FPS, and the most demanding Ultra preset still maintains a substantial 178.1 FPS average. These numbers demonstrate that at 1080p, the system has significant headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding preset delivering nearly three times the minimum playable frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains remarkably strong. The Low preset achieves 244.7 FPS, Medium delivers 192.4 FPS, and High settings produce 152.7 FPS. At Ultra, the system still maintains an average of 117.2 FPS, which is nearly double the playability threshold. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows approximately a 34% performance drop at Ultra settings, from 178.1 to 117.2 FPS, which is consistent with the increased pixel count requiring more GPU work.

At 3840x2160, the performance stays above 60 FPS across all presets, though the margins tighten considerably at higher settings. Low settings produce 133.8 FPS, Medium delivers 107.7 FPS, and High maintains 85.2 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 65 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold but with much less headroom than lower resolutions. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Ultra shows a 44.5% reduction, from 117.2 to 65 FPS, reflecting the fourfold increase in pixel count that stresses the GPU more heavily.

The resolution scaling pattern reveals that the RTX 4090's memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s and 24 GB of GDDR6X memory are sufficient to handle Fivem's demands at all tested configurations. The absence of min and max FPS data in the measured results means the analysis relies solely on average frame rates, which still provide a clear picture of the system's capabilities.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 65 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset comes close to the playability threshold, and the data shows it clears it by 5 FPS.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best choice, delivering an average of 117.2 FPS. This provides a substantial 57.2 FPS buffer above the threshold, making it a safe option for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings yield 178.1 FPS, making it the best preset at this resolution. The system has enough performance headroom to run the most demanding settings while still providing a frame rate that exceeds the needs of even high-refresh-rate gaming monitors.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 95th out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the configuration in the top 2.6% of all tested systems, indicating that the hardware pairing is exceptionally well-suited for this game's requirements.

The high rank reflects the synergy between the CPU and GPU. The Ryzen 9 9900X, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, provides strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 scores of 2,253 single-core and 32,172 multi-core. The RTX 4090, with its 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 16,384 shading units, ensures that GPU-bound scenarios at higher resolutions do not become bottlenecks.

The rank of 95 out of 3,707 is particularly notable because many of the higher-ranked combos likely include newer or more specialized hardware. For a multiplayer game like Fivem, which can be sensitive to CPU performance in populated areas, the Ryzen 9 9900X's strong single-core performance (3dmark single-thread score of 1,286) helps maintain consistent frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for what other processors would deliver similar results. The AMD EPYC 9015 has an average benchmark score of 57,555, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 9 9900X's average of 57,498. The AMD EPYC 7313 scores 57,399, representing a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i9-14900 achieves 58,115, which is 1.1% higher, while the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M scores 58,323, a 1.4% difference.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show that the RTX 4090 sits in a performance cluster with several professional-grade cards. The Intel Arc Pro A60 matches the RTX 4090's average benchmark score of 60,347 exactly, with a 0% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60,140, which is 0.3% lower, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M achieves 61,896, a 2.5% difference. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58,657, which is 2.9% lower.

These rival comparisons suggest that users with the Intel Core i9-14900 or the AMD EPYC 7313 could expect nearly identical performance in Fivem, as the CPU benchmark differences are within 1.4%. Similarly, the GPU alternatives listed would provide comparable frame rates, with the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M potentially offering slightly higher performance based on its 2.5% higher benchmark score.

The Verdict

This system can definitively run Fivem at playable frame rates across all tested conditions. At 3840x2160, all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) are playable, with the Ultra preset achieving 65 FPS. The 2560x1440 resolution also supports all presets, with Ultra delivering 117.2 FPS. At 1920x1080, every preset exceeds 60 FPS, with Ultra reaching 178.1 FPS.

The verdict data explicitly lists all settings as playable at every resolution, meaning there are no configurations where the system falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The lowest average frame rate recorded across the entire test suite is 65 FPS at 4K Ultra, which still clears the playability threshold by 5 FPS.

For users with 4K displays, the system can handle Ultra settings, but the 65 FPS average suggests that High settings at 85.2 FPS might provide a smoother experience if frame time consistency is a concern. At 1440p and below, the system has ample performance for high-refresh-rate monitors, with even the most demanding settings providing well over 100 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Fivem's frame rates. At 1920x1080, the GPU has less work to do per frame, allowing the CPU's performance to become more relevant. The Ryzen 9 9900X's single-thread score of 1,286 in 3dmark suggests strong per-core performance that helps maintain high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios common in multiplayer games.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings shows a 34.2% performance drop (178.1 to 117.2 FPS), while the transition from 1440p to 4K at Ultra shows a 44.5% drop (117.2 to 65 FPS). This increasing performance penalty at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more important as resolution increases, which is expected given the RTX 4090's role in rendering the additional pixels.

At Low settings, the scaling is more pronounced: 367 FPS at 1080p drops to 244.7 FPS at 1440p (33.3% reduction) and then to 133.8 FPS at 4K (45.3% reduction from 1440p). This pattern confirms that even at lower graphical settings, the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences across resolutions.

The CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low settings, where the 367 FPS average approaches the limits of what even the Ryzen 9 9900X can feed to the GPU. At higher resolutions and settings, the GPU's workload increases, and the CPU has more time to prepare frames, reducing the likelihood of CPU bottlenecks. The data indicates that for this game, the RTX 4090 is the dominant factor in determining frame rates, particularly at 4K, while the Ryzen 9 9900X provides sufficient headroom to avoid limiting performance at lower resolutions.
