Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Fivem across all tested resolutions, with the data showing that even the most demanding presets remain well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The measured results place this configuration in the 156th position out of 3707 tested combos, indicating top-tier performance for this multiplayer title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 64.4. While this clears the threshold, the margin is relatively slim compared to lower settings. The High preset at this resolution delivers 79.8 FPS, Medium reaches 98.5 FPS, and Low scales up to 130.5 FPS. For players prioritizing visual fidelity at 4K, Ultra is the ceiling for maintaining playable performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 114.5 FPS, comfortably surpassing the 60 FPS target. This represents the best visual quality option that still provides a substantial performance buffer. The High setting produces 145.7 FPS, Medium delivers 185.2 FPS, and Low reaches 230.4 FPS. At this resolution, all settings provide headroom above the threshold, but Ultra offers the highest quality without compromising smoothness.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 170.2 FPS, which is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality. The performance scaling is impressive: High delivers 223.4 FPS, Medium hits 275.5 FPS, and Low reaches 355.5 FPS. This resolution provides such abundant performance that even the most demanding settings leave significant margin above 60 FPS, making Ultra the clear choice for competitive and immersive play.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a distinct pattern in component utilization across resolutions. The RTX 5080 paired with the Ryzen 9 9950X3D shows that GPU load becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises, while the CPU maintains strong performance headroom due to its 16 cores and 32 threads. At 1920x1080, the frame rates scale dramatically with settings changes—from 170.2 FPS at Ultra to 355.5 FPS at Low—indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions, as the CPU has ample capacity to feed frames.

The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 shows a predictable decline in frame rates across all settings, with Ultra dropping from 170.2 to 114.5 FPS, a reduction of approximately 33%. This scaling suggests that the GPU is increasingly taxed as pixel count rises, while the CPU's role remains relatively constant. The 9950X3D's high single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 1292, ensures that CPU-bound scenarios are minimized even at lower resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor, with Ultra falling to 64.4 FPS and Low reaching 130.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 66.1 FPS, compared to a 185.3 FPS difference at 1080p. This narrowing gap confirms that the RTX 5080's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 9 9950X3D provides consistent CPU performance regardless of resolution. The data indicates that players seeking maximum frame rates at 1080p or 1440p will benefit from the CPU's strength, while 4K performance is governed almost entirely by GPU throughput.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 130.5 FPS, Medium achieves 98.5 FPS, High delivers 79.8 FPS, and Ultra yields 64.4 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline, with each settings tier reducing performance by roughly 15-20 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 18.7 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 15.4 FPS, indicating that the rendering overhead increases steadily with quality settings.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are substantially higher: Low reaches 230.4 FPS, Medium delivers 185.2 FPS, High produces 145.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 114.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 115.9 FPS, showing that settings choices have a major impact at this resolution. The step from High to Ultra represents a 31.2 FPS drop, which is the largest single-tier reduction, suggesting that Ultra introduces significant additional rendering work.

At 1920x1080, performance is exceptional across all settings: Low hits 355.5 FPS, Medium reaches 275.5 FPS, High delivers 223.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 170.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 185.3 FPS difference, with the largest drop occurring between Medium and High at 52.1 FPS. The data shows that even the most demanding settings at 1080p provide frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS threshold, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.
