Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination delivers extreme performance in Fivem, ranking 41st out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the top tier of systems for this multiplayer title. The measured data shows this pairing never drops below 60 FPS at any tested resolution or preset, making it a definitive enthusiast-class setup for Fivem.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 68.5 FPS. This is the only 4K result that dips below the 100 FPS mark, but it remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The data shows all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at 4K, with Low achieving 142.1 FPS, Medium hitting 107.1 FPS, and High reaching 88.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, producing an average of 119.5 FPS. This represents a substantial 74.5% performance increase over the 4K Ultra result, showing how resolution scaling benefits this combo. The 1440p results show High at 158.3 FPS, Medium at 200.6 FPS, and Low at 252 FPS, all far exceeding the 60 FPS threshold with significant headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver an outstanding 185.6 FPS average, which is more than triple the playability threshold. The 1080p results scale impressively: High achieves 237.4 FPS, Medium reaches 303.4 FPS, and Low produces 381.9 FPS. Every resolution and preset combination in the measured data exceeds 60 FPS, confirming that this combo has no playability concerns whatsoever in Fivem.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 41st out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 98.9th percentile of all tested systems. This ranking reflects the exceptional capability of both components working together in this specific game title.

The CPU itself holds a 92nd percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 57498. Similarly, the GPU sits at the 92nd percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 79842. Both components are near the top of their respective performance hierarchies, which translates directly into the strong combo ranking in Fivem.

The data indicates that only 40 other combinations of CPUs and GPUs outperform this pairing in Fivem, making it an elite-tier setup. Given that the measured FPS at 4K Ultra remains above 60 FPS and 1080p Ultra exceeds 180 FPS, the ranking reflects real-world headroom rather than marginal playability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 in Fivem shows consistent performance scaling across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 68.5 at Ultra to 142.1 at Low. The Medium preset produces 107.1 FPS, and High delivers 88.7 FPS. The performance delta from Low to Ultra at 4K is 73.6 FPS, representing a 51.8% reduction when moving to maximum settings.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern continues with Low producing 252 FPS, Medium at 200.6 FPS, High at 158.3 FPS, and Ultra at 119.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 132.5 FPS, a 52.6% reduction. This consistent percentage drop across resolutions suggests that the GPU is handling the settings scaling predictably, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom to avoid bottlenecking.

At 1920x1080, the results show Low at 381.9 FPS, Medium at 303.4 FPS, High at 237.4 FPS, and Ultra at 185.6 FPS. The reduction from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 196.3 FPS, a 51.4% decrease. The similarity in percentage reduction across all three resolutions—ranging from 51.4% to 52.6%—indicates that the performance penalty for increasing settings is consistent regardless of resolution.

Resolution scaling shows that moving from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings reduces average FPS from 185.6 to 119.5, a 35.6% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Ultra reduces FPS from 119.5 to 68.5, a 42.7% decrease. The larger percentage drop at 4K suggests that the GPU is becoming more heavily utilized at higher resolutions, though it remains capable of maintaining playable frame rates throughout.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD EPYC 9015 scores 57555 with a delta of -0.1% compared to the Ryzen 9 9900X's average benchmark score of 57498. The AMD EPYC 7313 scores 57399 with a delta of 0.2%, while the Intel Core i9-14900 scores 58115 with a delta of -1.1%. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M scores 58323 with a delta of -1.4%. These four CPUs all fall within 1.4% of the Ryzen 9 9900X's average score, meaning any of them would likely produce nearly identical FPS results in Fivem when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB with an average score of 79605 and a delta of 0.3%, the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB at 79396 with a delta of 0.6%, the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT at 78940 with a delta of 1.1%, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X at 80959 with a delta of -1.4%. These GPUs all perform within 1.4% of the RTX 5090's average benchmark score of 79842, suggesting that swapping to any of these alternatives would result in similar Fivem performance.

It is important to note that these rival comparisons are based on average benchmark scores, not Fivem-specific measurements. However, the small deltas indicate that users with these alternative components would experience nearly identical frame rates in this game, assuming the CPU and GPU pairings maintain similar balance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the CPU and GPU play distinct roles depending on the resolution and preset selected. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 381.9, which is an extremely high frame rate that suggests the CPU is the primary limiter. Moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces FPS by 51.4%, indicating that the GPU becomes more involved as settings increase.

At 2560x1440, the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 52.6% reduction in FPS, which is nearly identical to the 1080p reduction. This consistency suggests that the CPU remains a significant factor at 1440p, as the GPU is not yet fully saturated. The fact that 1440p Low produces 252 FPS while 1080p Ultra produces 185.6 FPS further indicates that resolution has a smaller impact than settings at these levels.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 51.8%, similar to other resolutions, but the absolute frame rates are much lower. The 4K Ultra result of 68.5 FPS is only 14.2% above the playability threshold, suggesting that the GPU is now the dominant constraint. The larger percentage drop from 1440p to 4K at Ultra (42.7%) compared to the 1080p to 1440p drop (35.6%) supports this interpretation.

The CPU's 12 cores and 24 threads, combined with its strong single-thread performance as evidenced by the 3DMark single-thread score of 1286 and Geekbench single-core score of 3010, provide ample processing power for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The GPU's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that texture streaming and asset loading at 4K Ultra settings never become a bottleneck, as evidenced by the playable 68.5 FPS result.

Across all resolutions, the data indicates that Fivem is more CPU-sensitive at lower resolutions and lower settings, while the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K with maximum settings. The 9900X's high single-thread performance and the 5090's massive compute resources complement each other well, resulting in no obvious bottleneck at any tested configuration.
