Fivem

Fivem’s performance profile on the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution, but is heavily influenced by the game’s CPU-bound nature at lower settings. The data indicates a strong pairing for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring a compromise on quality presets to maintain smooth frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear and consistent trend: Fivem’s performance drops significantly as resolution increases, but the rate of decline varies depending on the graphics preset. At Low settings, the average FPS scales from 270 at 1920x1080 down to 203 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 67 FPS (24.8%). Moving to 3840x2160 at Low settings yields an average of 112 FPS, which is a further drop of 91 FPS (44.8%) from the 1440p result. This steep decline suggests that at lower settings, the rendering load on the GPU grows substantially with pixel count, yet the absolute numbers remain high enough to be playable even at 4K.

At Medium settings, the trend is similar but with slightly narrower margins. The average FPS is 243 at 1080p, 160 at 1440p, and 89 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34.2%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 44.4%. This indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution climbs, but the CPU is still holding its own at the lower resolutions within this preset.

High settings present a different pattern. The average FPS is 194 at 1080p, 128 at 1440p, and 71 at 4K. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 34.0% decrease, and from 1440p to 4K, a 44.5% decrease. The consistency of these percentages across Medium and High presets suggests that the workload scaling is primarily resolution-driven, with the game engine adding a relatively fixed cost for the higher quality effects.

Ultra settings produce the most demanding scenario. The average FPS drops from 151 at 1080p to 99 at 1440p (a 34.4% reduction) and then to 55 at 4K (a 44.4% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS is the lowest recorded in the entire dataset, indicating that this combination is not suitable for maximum quality at 4K. The data shows that the scaling pattern is consistent, with a roughly 34% penalty for stepping up to 1440p and an additional 44% penalty for stepping up to 4K, regardless of the preset. This uniform scaling points to the GPU being the dominant constraint at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s role becomes more pronounced at 1080p where frame rates are exceptionally high.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its synthetic benchmark scores place it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19593. In the context of Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p and Low settings, where the average FPS reaches 270. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to avoid a bottleneck at lower resolutions.

The data shows that at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 119 FPS (270 vs 151), which is a substantial gap. This indicates that while the GPU is handling the increased visual complexity of Ultra settings, the CPU is still managing to keep up with the game’s simulation and network logic. However, the CPU’s limitations become apparent when comparing its performance to its nearest rivals. The Ryzen 5 5500 has an average score of 19593, which is 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 and 0.4% behind the Intel Core i5-12500, but 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i7-10700F and 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i5-11600KF. These are marginal differences, suggesting that the CPU is not a major differentiator in this game.

In Fivem, which is known for being a multiplayer modification that relies heavily on server-side and client-side scripting, the single-threaded performance is often critical. The Ryzen 5 5500 scores 2319 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 836 in 3DMark single-thread. These scores are adequate for maintaining high frame rates, as evidenced by the 270 FPS average at 1080p Low. However, the combination’s rank of 542 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem suggests that while this CPU is capable, other processors may offer better performance in this specific title. The 12 threads and 16 MB of L3 cache are sufficient for the game’s workload, but the data does not show a scenario where the CPU is the sole bottleneck until frame rates exceed 240 FPS, at which point the gap between 1080p and 1440p at the same settings becomes more pronounced.

The complete dataset shows that the combo never dips below 55 FPS on average, which means it remains playable at every setting, but only the Low and Medium presets at 4K offer a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience depends on the user’s display resolution. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset at 151 FPS is highly recommended, as it provides a fluid experience well above the 144Hz refresh rate common on many monitors. If a higher refresh rate (e.g., 240Hz) is the target, the Medium preset at 243 FPS is the best choice, as it offers a significant frame rate boost with only a moderate reduction in visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 128 FPS is the sweet spot for most users, balancing visual fidelity with a frame rate that is smooth on 120Hz or 144Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 99 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing image quality, but the data shows a 29 FPS drop from High, which may be noticeable in fast-paced scenarios. For competitive play at 1440p, the Medium preset at 160 FPS is recommended, as it provides a higher frame rate with acceptable visual trade-offs.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 89 FPS is the clear recommendation, as it is the highest quality setting that maintains an average above 60 FPS. The Low preset at 112 FPS is available for those seeking a higher frame rate, but the visual downgrade is substantial. The High preset at 71 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, while Ultra at 55 FPS is not recommended for a consistently smooth experience. The data indicates that for 4K gaming on this combo, Medium settings provide the best overall experience, balancing the GPU’s capabilities with the visual demands of the resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a high-end graphics card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring the AD103 chip. It has 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units, along with 66 ray tracing cores and 264 tensor cores. The GPU’s base clock is 2340 MHz, with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, and it is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s.

The GPU’s role in Fivem is clearly defined by the resolution scaling data. At 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as frame rates reach 270 FPS on Low settings, indicating that the CPU is the primary driver. However, as resolution increases, the GPU’s workload grows substantially. The pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s are theoretical maximums, but the measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the GPU can only manage 55 FPS, which is a 79.6% drop from the 1080p Low result. This demonstrates the GPU’s processing power is the dominant constraint at higher resolutions.

The 16 GB of VRAM is a notable asset for Fivem, which often has custom assets and textures in multiplayer servers. The GDDR6X memory provides ample bandwidth, and the data shows that at 4K Medium, the combo achieves 89 FPS, suggesting that memory capacity is not a bottleneck. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 31087 places it in the 76th percentile, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX, scores 1.9% higher. This indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a capable card, but its performance in Fivem is moderate relative to its synthetic scores. The data suggests that the GPU’s FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS is sufficient for the game’s graphics, but the engine’s optimization and CPU dependency prevent it from fully utilizing the GPU’s potential at lower resolutions.
