GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz, with 21 Gbps effective speed. The GPU's base clock is 1920 MHz, boosting to 2475 MHz, and it draws 200 W of power. With 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, the card is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process.

In Fivem, the data shows a clear GPU scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 260 FPS, but at 4K Low, it drops to 95 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra settings grows with resolution: at 1080p, the difference is 132 FPS (260 vs 128), while at 4K, it shrinks to 48 FPS (95 vs 47). This narrowing delta suggests that at 4K, the GPU is becoming the limiting factor, as raising settings has a proportionally smaller impact on frame rate.

The RTX 4070's 12 GB VRAM capacity is substantial for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which often involves large, detailed maps and numerous player models. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures texture streaming keeps up with fast movement across the game world. At 4K Ultra, the average of 47 FPS indicates the GPU is heavily loaded, likely maxing out its compute and memory resources. The card's 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 throughput provides ample raw compute, but the 4K Ultra result shows that even this level of performance has limits in Fivem's most demanding configuration.

Benchmark results indicate the GPU is the performance bottleneck at higher resolutions. The 4K Medium result of 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS shows some frame pacing variance, but the overall trend is consistent: the RTX 4070 delivers playable frame rates at 4K with adjusted settings. The card's 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs underscores its position as a high-end part, yet Fivem's Ultra preset at 4K still pushes it below the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, specifically the Cezanne codename. It runs at a 3.60 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB L1 cache per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The chip uses the AM4 socket and PCIe Gen 3 interface, built on TSMC's 7 nm process.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5500 shows strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 16,429, while single-core reaches 2,319. The Geekbench multicore result is 7,976, with single-core at 1,730. These numbers indicate a balanced processor that handles both heavily-threaded workloads and single-thread tasks competently. The CPU's 73rd percentile ranking places it mid-to-high among all processors, but its nearest rivals are all within 1% in average score.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 260 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suggests the CPU is keeping up with the GPU's output. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 FPS, showing consistent frame delivery. The jump from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings sees a drop from 260 to 171 FPS, a 34% reduction that points to the GPU beginning to take over the workload.

The data implies that the Ryzen 5 5500 is sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 at 1080p without becoming a bottleneck. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration handles Fivem's multi-player logic, which can involve many concurrent entities and scripts. The CPU's 16 MB L3 cache is moderate but adequate for this game's working set. However, the 3.60 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost are modest compared to higher-end parts, and the 3dmark single-thread score of 836 suggests that extremely CPU-bound scenarios might show limitations, though the measured FPS data does not indicate a CPU bottleneck at any tested setting.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 + RTX 4070 combination ranks 851st out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 23% of all configurations. This is a strong result, especially considering the CPU is not a flagship part. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking is notably higher than the CPU's 73rd percentile, which suggests the combo's performance is driven more by the graphics card than the processor.

The rank of 851 out of 3,707 indicates that there are 2,856 combos that perform better, likely featuring more powerful CPUs and GPUs. However, the measured FPS numbers in Fivem are impressive for most use cases. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 108 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay. The 4K Medium result of 75 FPS is also respectable, indicating the combo can handle 4K with some settings adjustments.

The data shows that this combo is well-balanced for Fivem, with the GPU providing most of the performance headroom. The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 1% of its average score, meaning any of those CPUs paired with the RTX 4070 would likely produce nearly identical results in this game. The combo's rank suggests it is a solid mid-to-high-tier option, though not at the top of the charts where more expensive CPUs and GPUs reside.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo depends on the user's priority: maximum frame rate or visual fidelity. At 1080p, the Medium preset offers the best balance with 205 FPS average and a minimum of 175 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even in intense multiplayer moments. The High preset at 164 FPS is also excellent, while Ultra at 128 FPS is still very playable for competitive gaming.

For 1440p, Medium delivers 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. High at 108 FPS is also strong, while Ultra at 84 FPS remains above the 60 FPS threshold. Low at 171 FPS maximizes frame rates but sacrifices visual quality unnecessarily given the available headroom.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, yielding 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS. This configuration maintains acceptable frame pacing while providing better visuals than Low. High at 60 FPS is exactly at the 60 FPS mark, which is playable but leaves no headroom for dips. Ultra at 47 FPS is not recommended for a smooth experience, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold and may cause noticeable stuttering in fast-paced scenarios.

The data indicates that Medium settings provide the most consistent experience across all resolutions, with minimum FPS values that are close to the averages. This suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo, balancing GPU load and visual quality without pushing the hardware to its limits.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings average 260 FPS, Medium averages 205 FPS with a range of 175–236 FPS, High averages 164 FPS, and Ultra averages 128 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 132 FPS, showing a wide performance range at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop significantly. Low yields 171 FPS, Medium averages 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 and maximum of 156, High averages 108 FPS, and Ultra averages 84 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 87 FPS, indicating the GPU is becoming more involved as pixel count rises.

At 3840x2160, the performance gap narrows further. Low averages 95 FPS, Medium averages 75 FPS with a range of 64–86, High averages 60 FPS, and Ultra averages 47 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 48 FPS, the smallest spread across all resolutions Situation. The 4K Medium result is the only 4K configuration with min/max data, showing a 22 FPS range that suggests some variance in demanding scenes.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: as resolution increases, the absolute FPS values drop, and the relative impact of settings changes diminishes. At 1080p, the CPU can push very high frame rates at Low settings, but at 4K, the GPU's workload dominates, and even Low settings cannot exceed 95 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings. At Low, the average falls from 260 to 95 FPS, a 63.5% reduction. Medium drops from 205 to 75 FPS, a 63.4% reduction. High goes from 164 to 60 FPS, a 63.4% reduction. Ultra falls from 128 to 47 FPS, a 63.3% reduction. The consistency of these percentage drops across settings is striking, suggesting a uniform scaling behavior.

This uniform drop indicates that the limiting component is the GPU at higher resolutions. The RTX 4070's workload scales with pixel count, and the 4K resolution requires four times the pixels of 1080p. The measured FPS at 4K are roughly one-third of the 1080p values, which aligns with the expected performance degradation from increased pixel throughput demands.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a less severe drop: Low goes from 260 to 171 FPS (34.2% reduction), Medium from 205 to 135 (34.1%), High from 164 to 108 (34.1%), and Ultra from 128 to 84 (34.4%). This consistent reduction across settings reinforces that the GPU is the bottleneck, as the CPU's workload does not change significantly with resolution.

The fact that the percentage drop is nearly identical for all settings at each resolution step strongly implies that the system is GPU-bound in Fivem at these resolutions. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect the drop to be less pronounced at lower settings where the GPU has less work to do. Instead, the data shows a linear relationship between resolution and FPS, which is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario. This means that users with a more powerful GPU could see further improvements at 4K, while upgrading the CPU would likely yield minimal gains in this game.
