GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA107 chip manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 1545 MHz and a boost clock of 1740 MHz, with memory running at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective). The card features 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. With 2048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores, the GPU delivers 7.127 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

In Fivem, the GPU's memory configuration plays a critical role in determining performance ceilings. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is modest by modern standards, and the 192.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a bottleneck at higher resolutions where texture data and frame buffer requirements increase substantially. The pixel rate of 55.68 GPixel/s and texture rate of 111.4 GTexel/s provide adequate throughput for 1080p gaming but are stretched thin at 4K resolution.

The GPU's 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs reflects its mid-range positioning. At 1080p, the card demonstrates capable performance, with the data showing playable frame rates across all settings. However, the measured FPS figures reveal a steep performance cliff as resolution increases. The card's 90 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest efficient operation, but the 4 GB memory capacity limits texture-heavy scenarios common in multiplayer environments like Fivem, where numerous player models and dynamic objects compete for VRAM.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data reveals how this combo scales across three resolutions: 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. At Medium settings, the average FPS progression is 89 → 58 → 32, representing a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and another 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. This scaling pattern indicates that the system is heavily GPU-limited at higher resolutions, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to feed the graphics card at lower resolutions.

The Low preset shows a similar trajectory: 113 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 41 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 35% and 45% respectively, mirroring the Medium preset's scaling. This consistency suggests that resolution scaling is dominated by the GPU's rendering capabilities rather than settings changes. At High settings, the system achieves 71 FPS at 1080p, 47 FPS at 1440p, and 26 FPS at 4K, with drops of 34% and 45%.

The Ultra preset delivers 55 FPS at 1080p, 36 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K, with the same relative scaling pattern. This uniform behavior across all settings indicates that the limiting component shifts from the GPU at 1080p to a more balanced constraint at 4K, where both the GPU's compute throughput and memory bandwidth become insufficient. The 4K results, ranging from 20 to 41 FPS depending on settings, are consistently below playable thresholds, while 1440p offers a mixed experience depending on quality settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 113 FPS, which represents the highest measured value in the entire dataset. Medium settings average 89 FPS with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 102 FPS, providing a smooth experience with headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. High settings average 71 FPS, maintaining playability while offering improved visual quality. Ultra settings drop to 55 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS mark but remains within a range many players would find acceptable for a multiplayer title.

At 2560x1440, the performance landscape shifts. Low settings still deliver a respectable 74 FPS average, comfortably above 60 FPS. Medium settings average 58 FPS with a minimum of 50 and maximum of 67 FPS, placing the experience on the edge of the 60 FPS target. High settings average 47 FPS, which is playable but noticeably less smooth. Ultra settings drop to 36 FPS average, which may feel sluggish in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. The minimum and maximum values for Medium at this resolution (50-67 FPS) indicate noticeable frame time variance.

At 3840x2160, all settings produce sub-60 FPS averages. Low settings achieve 41 FPS, Medium averages 32 FPS (with a minimum of 28 and maximum of 37 FPS), High averages 26 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. These figures highlight that 4K gaming is not viable on this configuration for Fivem, as even the lowest settings fail to reach 45 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K shows a tight range of 28-37 FPS, suggesting consistent but low performance rather than erratic frame delivery.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 3252 out of 3707 tested combinations places it in the bottom 12% of all configurations evaluated in Fivem. This ranking reflects the combined limitations of the CPU and GPU in this specific game title. The CPU sits at the 73rd percentile among all processors, which is a solid mid-range position, while the GPU rests at the 50th percentile among all GPUs. The combination of a modestly performing CPU with an average GPU results in a system that trails most other tested configurations.

The ranking suggests that Fivem is particularly demanding on the hardware combination, likely due to the multiplayer nature of the game where many entities must be processed simultaneously. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads provide adequate multithreading capability, as evidenced by its 16429 score in Cinebench R23 multicore and 19330 in Passmark multithread. However, the GPU's 4 GB VRAM capacity and 192.0 GB/s bandwidth appear to be insufficient for the game's requirements at higher settings and resolutions.

Compared to other combos in the database, this configuration's performance is constrained more by the GPU than the CPU. The measured FPS data shows that lowering resolution has a dramatic positive effect, while lowering settings at a fixed resolution provides more modest gains. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, particularly at 1440p and 4K resolutions where the memory bandwidth and VRAM capacity limit performance.
