Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT lands at rank 593 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places the combination comfortably in the top 20% of all tested systems, a strong showing for a 6-core processor paired with a high-end Radeon GPU. The rank suggests that while this combo is not at the absolute pinnacle of Fivem performance, it sits well above the median experience.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 85 among all processors indicates that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in general benchmark workloads. However, the GPU's percentile of 55 among all GPUs is notably lower, which hints at an interesting dynamic: the CPU is comparatively stronger in the broader market than the GPU. In Fivem specifically, the measured data shows the combo achieving playable frame rates across all tested settings, which aligns with its mid-to-upper tier ranking.

Benchmark results indicate the CPU's average benchmark score of 37018 places it nearly identical to its closest rivals, with deltas of only 0.2% to -0.3%. This tight clustering suggests that within this performance band, the CPU choice matters less than the GPU for Fivem's frame output. The GPU's average benchmark score of 13745, while modest compared to its nearest rivals (deltas of -0.5% to 1.5%), still delivers the measured FPS figures seen in the data.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT brings substantial memory resources to Fivem, with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 320-bit bus. This configuration yields a memory bandwidth of 800.0 GB/s, which is more than sufficient for the asset streaming demands of a multiplayer environment like Fivem. The GPU's clock behavior shows a base clock of 1387 MHz, a game clock of 2025 MHz, and a boost clock reaching 2394 MHz, with memory running at 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective).

The GPU's architecture is RDNA 3.0 on the Navi 31 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. With 5376 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 192 ROPs, the RX 7900 XT has substantial raw throughput capabilities. The FP32 performance of 51.48 TFLOPS and texture rate of 804.4 GTexel/s indicate a GPU that can handle demanding rendering workloads. In Fivem, which is based on the older GTA V engine, these specifications translate to the measured frame rates observed.

The data shows the GPU's passmark G3D score of 29009, which is its strongest single benchmark result. Interestingly, the GPU's percentile ranking of 55 among all GPUs is mediocre, yet the measured FPS in Fivem are quite high at 1080p and 1440p. This discrepancy suggests that Fivem's rendering workload may not fully stress the GPU's compute capabilities, or that the game engine has specific bottlenecks that favor certain GPU features. The VRAM capacity of 20 GB is particularly noteworthy for a multiplayer mod platform like Fivem, where custom assets and textures can consume significant memory.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 258 FPS, which drops to 185 FPS at 1440p (a 28% decrease) and further to 103 FPS at 4K (a 60% decrease from 1080p). This scaling pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the system is likely CPU-limited, as the frame rates are extremely high but the GPU has headroom to render more pixels.

At Medium settings, the progression from 221 FPS at 1080p to 146 FPS at 1440p (34% drop) and 81 FPS at 4K (63% drop) shows a similar trend. The High settings row follows suit: 177 FPS at 1080p, 117 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 65 FPS at 4K (63% drop). This consistent percentage drop across settings suggests that the scaling behavior is resolution-driven rather than settings-driven.

The Ultra preset tells a slightly different story: 137 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 50 FPS at 4K (64% drop). The fact that the drop percentages remain nearly constant across all settings indicates that the limiting component shifts gradually as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads may be the primary constraint, given the high frame rates. At 4K, the GPU's rendering workload becomes more dominant, as evidenced by the Ultra preset dropping to exactly 50 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on settings optimization. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 258 FPS, Medium delivers 221 FPS, High delivers 177 FPS, and Ultra delivers 137 FPS. All presets are well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but the jump from High to Ultra costs 40 FPS (23% reduction), which may not be worthwhile for the visual gains in a multiplayer context where competitive frame rates matter.

At 1440p, the spread narrows: Low gives 185 FPS, Medium gives 146 FPS, High gives 117 FPS, and Ultra gives 90 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p offers a balanced experience with 146 FPS average and a minimum of 124 FPS, ensuring consistent performance during busy multiplayer scenes. The High preset at 1440p still delivers 117 FPS, which is excellent for most displays.

The 4K results show more variance: Low achieves 103 FPS, Medium achieves 81 FPS (with min 69 and max 93), High achieves 65 FPS, and Ultra drops to 50 FPS. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot, maintaining an average of 81 FPS with a minimum of 69 FPS that stays above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 65 FPS is playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes, while Ultra at 50 FPS falls below the ideal smoothness threshold.

A: The Ryzen 5 5500X3D has 64 KB L1 cache per core, 512 KB L2 cache per core, and 96 MB shared L3 cache, with a 3.00 GHz base clock and 4.00 GHz boost clock.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer codename), manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock of 3.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.00 GHz are modest by modern standards, but the 96 MB shared L3 cache is substantial and likely beneficial for Fivem's multiplayer workloads, where repeated access to game state data and player positions can benefit from large caches.

The CPU's passmark scores show a mixed profile: single-thread score of 2941, multithread score of 20363, and physics score of 2282. The data compression score of 230392 and integer math score of 60033 suggest strong computational throughput, while the find prime numbers score of 170 indicates weaker algorithmic performance in specific workloads. These benchmarks collectively position the CPU at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with a TDP of 105 W and DDR4 memory support with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Fivem, the CPU's role appears significant at lower resolutions. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (258 FPS) far exceeds what the GPU's relative benchmark position would suggest, implying the CPU is driving frame rates to heights that the GPU can accommodate. The 6 cores and 12 threads are likely sufficient for Fivem's typical player count and script workloads, though the lack of an unlocked multiplier means overclocking is not an option. The CPU's release date of June 2025 and production status of Active indicate it is a current-generation product for the AM4 socket.

The data reveals that the Medium preset is the only configuration with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values, providing a complete picture of frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range spans from 188 to 255 FPS, a 67 FPS spread that indicates some scene-to-scene variance but remains entirely playable. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 124-168 FPS (44 FPS spread), showing better consistency at higher resolution. At 4K Medium, the range tightens further to 69-93 FPS (24 FPS spread), suggesting that as resolution increases, the system becomes more stable in its frame delivery.

The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows consistent incremental drops. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 37 FPS (14% reduction), Medium to High costs 44 FPS (20% reduction), and High to Ultra costs 40 FPS (23% reduction). At 1440p, the same transitions cost 39 FPS (21%), 29 FPS (20%), and 27 FPS (23%) respectively. At 4K, the costs are 22 FPS (21%), 16 FPS (20%), and 15 FPS (23%). This pattern suggests that the relative cost of each settings tier remains consistent regardless of resolution, indicating the game engine applies these settings in a resolution-independent manner.

The minimum FPS values at Medium settings show that the 4K configuration maintains a minimum of 69 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered the baseline for smooth gameplay. The 1440p Medium minimum of 124 FPS provides ample headroom, while the 1080p Medium minimum of 188 FPS ensures ultra-smooth performance even in demanding multiplayer scenarios. These measured values confirm that this combo is well-suited for Fivem across a wide range of display configurations and quality preferences.
