Fivem

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER reveals a clear progression of performance degradation as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers 270 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 191 FPS, a reduction of approximately 29%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 106 FPS, which is another 45% drop from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count rises, but the CPU still has headroom at lower resolutions.

The Medium settings row provides the most complete picture, as it includes minimum and maximum FPS values alongside averages. At 1080p Medium, the average is 229 FPS with a minimum of 194 FPS and maximum of 263 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 151 FPS with a range of 128 to 173 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 FPS and maximum of 96 FPS. The frame time consistency, indicated by the spread between minimum and maximum, remains relatively stable across resolutions, suggesting that the bottleneck shifts smoothly rather than causing stutter.

The High settings row shows 183 FPS at 1080p, 120 FPS at 1440p, and 67 FPS at 4K. The Ultra settings row demonstrates the heaviest load: 142 FPS at 1080p, 93 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra produces a 63% reduction in average FPS, which is the steepest drop among all settings presets. This indicates that at Ultra, the GPU is the limiting component, as the added detail and effects at 4K overwhelm the RTX 4070 SUPER's capabilities despite its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth.

Analyzing the resolution scaling more closely, the ratio between 1080p and 1440p performance is narrower than the ratio between 1440p and 4K at every settings level. For example, at High settings, the 1080p-to-1440p drop is 34%, while the 1440p-to-4K drop is 44%. This nonlinear scaling suggests that the CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with 6 cores and 12 threads) can still feed the GPU adequately at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the dominant constraint. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 198.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 performance are substantial, yet Fivem's multiplayer environment with many dynamic objects and other players creates rendering workloads that scale aggressively with resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process node. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with 16 MB of L3 cache. The CPU's benchmark scores provide context for its gaming performance: in Cinebench R23, it scores 16429 multicore and 2319 single-core. The Passmark single-thread score is 3058, while the multithread score is 19330. These figures place the CPU in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19593.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical for handling the multiplayer game logic, physics, and AI for other players and NPCs. The 3dmark scores show scaling from 836 (single-thread) to 5411 (max threads), indicating that the processor benefits from multithreaded workloads but also has solid single-thread performance. For a game like Fivem, which is built on a modified GTA V engine and runs on a server-client model, the CPU must process network data, player positions, and world state updates every frame.

The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 270 FPS average. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is near its limit, as pushing beyond this would require more single-thread throughput. The Intel Core i5-12500, one of the nearest rivals with a deltaPct of -0.4 in average benchmark score, offers similar performance, confirming that the Ryzen 5 5500 is competitive in this class. The Intel Core i7-10700F has a deltaPct of 0.5, meaning it scores slightly higher on average, but the difference is marginal (less than 1%).

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for Fivem's memory access patterns. The PCIe Gen 3 interface, while not the latest standard, is sufficient for the RTX 4070 SUPER, which uses PCIe 4.0 x16 but is backward compatible. At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck, evidenced by the larger FPS drops at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 270 FPS average, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 229 FPS average, with a minimum of 194 FPS and maximum of 263 FPS, showing tight frame pacing. High settings achieve 183 FPS average, while Ultra settings drop to 142 FPS average. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 128 FPS, representing a 47% reduction in performance when maxing out settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. Low settings deliver 191 FPS average, which is still exceptionally smooth for competitive play. Medium settings produce 151 FPS average, with a minimum of 128 FPS and maximum of 173 FPS. High settings achieve 120 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 93 FPS average. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 98 FPS, a 51% reduction, which is slightly steeper than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is starting to feel the resolution increase.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 SUPER's limits become apparent. Low settings produce 106 FPS average, which is still playable but significantly lower than lower resolutions. Medium settings yield 84 FPS average, with a minimum of 71 FPS and maximum of 96 FPS. High settings achieve 67 FPS average, while Ultra settings drop to 52 FPS average. The Ultra figure is the lowest in the dataset, representing a 54% drop from Low settings at the same resolution. The minimum FPS of 71 at Medium 4K confirms that even in demanding scenes, the combo does not stutter below 60 FPS.

The Medium settings rows are particularly useful for analysis because they include min and max FPS. Across all three resolutions, the min-to-max spread is consistent: 69 FPS at 1080p, 45 FPS at 1440p, and 25 FPS at 4K. This narrowing spread at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU's frame rendering becomes more consistent as it becomes the bottleneck, whereas at 1080p, CPU-side variability creates larger frame time swings.

All of these are within 1% of the RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 43223, confirming that the desktop GPU's performance is well-established.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, all settings presets deliver playable frame rates, with even Ultra achieving 142 FPS average. For competitive play where high frame rates matter, Low settings at 270 FPS provide the smoothest experience. For visual quality with still-excellent performance, High settings at 183 FPS offer a good balance, as the jump to Ultra only adds 41 FPS reduction while likely providing marginal visual improvements in a multiplayer game.

At 1440p, High settings at 120 FPS represent the sweet spot for most players. This provides a high refresh rate experience while maintaining visual fidelity. Medium settings at 151 FPS offer additional headroom for those with 144Hz or 165Hz displays, and the minimum of 128 FPS ensures no drops below triple-digit frame rates. Ultra at 93 FPS is still playable but falls below the 100 FPS threshold that many competitive players prefer. Low at 191 FPS is overkill for most displays and sacrifices too much visual quality.

At 4K, the recommendations shift. Medium settings at 84 FPS average with a 71 FPS minimum provide the best experience, as they stay above the 60 FPS playability threshold while offering better visuals than Low. High at 67 FPS is acceptable for casual play but may feel less responsive. Ultra at 52 FPS is the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS and should be avoided for smooth gameplay. Low at 106 FPS is viable for players who prioritize frame rate over visuals at 4K.

The Medium preset appears to be the most balanced overall, as it consistently maintains frame rates that are 55-60% of the Low preset's performance while providing significantly better visuals. The min FPS data for Medium settings shows that even in the most demanding scenes, the combo stays above 71 FPS at 4K, which is the critical floor for maintaining a consistent experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation processors. The GPU has 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6. Its base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and it has a TDP of 220 W.

The GPU's memory subsystem is a key strength: 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. This is ample for Fivem's texture-heavy environments and large draw distances. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz, or 21 Gbps effective. For a game that often features dense urban areas with many unique textures and player-created content, the 12 GB capacity ensures that the GPU does not run out of memory at 4K Ultra settings, as evidenced by the 52 FPS average rather than a catastrophic drop.

In benchmark tests, the RTX 4070 SUPER scores 29995 in Passmark G3D, 17108 in Passmark GPU Compute, and 172795 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 4627. The GPU's pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for high-resolution rendering. The FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS is substantial for compute-heavy effects.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's performance scales predictably with settings. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 54 FPS (106 vs 52), which reflects the additional shading, texture filtering, and post-processing effects. The GPU's 80 ROPs are sufficient for 4K rasterization, and the 224 TMUs handle texture sampling efficiently. The RT cores, while not directly relevant to Fivem's rendering (which does not heavily use ray tracing), contribute to the GPU's overall compute capabilities.

The GPU's nearest rival comparisons show it is within 1% of the RTX 4090 Mobile's average benchmark score, which is remarkable given the mobile chip's power constraints. This indicates that the desktop RTX 4070 SUPER delivers exceptional performance per watt, though the data does not include specific power efficiency metrics. The end-of-life production status suggests this is a mature product with well-established drivers, which is beneficial for game compatibility.
