Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX combination presents a distinct performance profile in Fivem, a multiplayer title that relies heavily on both processor throughput and graphics rendering. The data shows a pairing of a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 processor with a flagship RDNA 3.0 graphics card, and the measured frame rates reveal how these components interact across various resolutions and settings. This analysis walks through the CPU and GPU contributions, scaling behavior, exact performance metrics, and how this specific combo ranks among the 3005 tested configurations.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a 5000-series desktop processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, using TSMC's 7 nm process. It features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The processor has a 105 W TDP and fits the AMD Socket AM4 platform. Its cache layout is notable: 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache. This large L3 pool is the defining characteristic of the X3D line and often benefits games with large, repetitive data sets.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Passmark single-thread score of 2941 and a multithread score of 20363. Its average benchmark score is 37018, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs tested. The nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, which scores 36945 (a 0.2% delta), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, also at 36938 (0.2% delta). The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (-0.2% delta), and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112 (-0.3% delta). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the 5500X3D sits in a tightly contested performance band.

For Fivem, the CPU's role is significant because the game's multiplayer nature often involves processing many entities, player positions, and network data. The boost clock of 4.00 GHz provides a solid foundation for single-threaded tasks, while the 12 threads handle background workloads. However, the measured FPS at lower resolutions suggests the GPU remains the primary driver of frame rates, as the 5500X3D's 96 MB L3 cache helps maintain data flow to the cores without becoming a bottleneck in the tested scenarios. The processor's 51.2 GB/s dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth is ample for this workload, and the data shows no signs of CPU limitation in the higher-resolution tests.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a Radeon RX 7000 series card based on the Navi 31 chip, using the RDNA 3.0 architecture and a 5 nm process. It packs 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 1929 MHz, a game clock of 2365 MHz, and a boost clock of 2498 MHz. Memory runs at 2500 MHz, which translates to 20 Gbps effective. The card’s compute resources include 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 192 ROPs, with 96 ray accelerators. Its pixel rate is 479.6 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 959.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 61.39 TFLOPS. The TDP is 355 W, and the card uses a dual-slot design with two 8-pin power connectors.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RX 7900 XTX posts a Passmark G3D score of 31238 and a Passmark GPU compute score of 17689. Its average benchmark score is 19410, which places it in the 64th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals in the database are notably lower-tier cards: the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3 GB scores 19334 (0.4% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 scores 19602 (-1% delta), and the AMD FirePro D300 scores 19637 (-1.2% delta). This indicates that the RX 7900 XTX's average benchmark score is dragged down by its compute tests, even though its raw gaming performance is far superior to those rivals.

For Fivem, the GPU's 24 GB VRAM is far more than the game requires, ensuring no memory capacity constraints at any resolution. The high boost clock of 2498 MHz and the massive memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s are the key drivers of frame rates. At 1080p with Low settings, the card achieves 258 FPS average, showing it can push very high frame rates when not constrained by graphical effects. The GPU's role becomes less demanding at lower resolutions, but at 4K, the rendering load increases, and the card's raw compute power is put to work, as evidenced by the measured FPS scaling.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, which indicates that the RX 7900 XTX is the limiting component in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 258. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 200 FPS, a 22.5% decrease. At 4K Low, the average falls to 111 FPS, which is a 57% drop from the 1080p Low figure. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload, where increasing pixel count directly impacts rendering time.

The same trend appears at other settings. For High settings, 1080p yields 192 FPS, 1440p yields 126 FPS (a 34.4% drop), and 4K yields 70 FPS (a 63.5% drop from 1080p). At Medium settings, the FPS goes from 237 at 1080p to 158 at 1440p (a 33.3% drop) and then to 88 at 4K (a 62.9% drop). Ultra settings show 149 FPS at 1080p, 98 at 1440p (a 34.2% drop), and 54 at 4K (a 63.8% drop). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests that the GPU is the primary limiter, as the CPU's workload does not scale with resolution.

The data also shows that the FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p is larger in percentage terms than the drop from 1440p to 4K at several settings. For example, at Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 58 FPS (22.5%), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 89 FPS (44.5%). This non-linear scaling is expected because 4K has over twice the pixels of 1440p, and the GPU's rendering load grows accordingly. The fact that the RX 7900 XTX maintains playable frame rates at 4K even on Ultra (54 FPS) confirms that no CPU bottleneck is present, as the GPU is clearly the component being stressed.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the average FPS ranges from 258 at Low settings to 149 at Ultra. The Medium preset produces an average of 237 FPS, with a minimum of 201 and a maximum of 272. High settings yield 192 FPS average. This shows that at 1080p, the combo is capable of very high frame rates, with Low and Medium presets exceeding 200 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops but remains high. Low settings deliver 200 FPS average, Medium delivers 158 FPS (with a minimum of 134 and maximum of 181), and High delivers 126 FPS. Ultra settings produce 98 FPS average. The 1440p results show that the combo handles this resolution comfortably, with even Ultra settings staying above 90 FPS, which is smooth for most users.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS is lower but still usable. Low settings achieve 111 FPS, Medium achieves 88 FPS (with a minimum of 74 and maximum of 101), and High achieves 70 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 54 FPS average. The 4K results show that the RX 7900 XTX can drive this resolution, but the playability depends on the settings preset. Low settings at 4K provide the best frame rate, while Ultra is only barely acceptable for slower-paced gameplay.

The data also reveals that the gaps between settings are consistent across resolutions. For instance, the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 109 FPS (258 vs 149), at 1440p it is 102 FPS (200 vs 98), and at 4K it is 57 FPS (111 vs 54). This indicates that the performance cost of each settings tier is relatively stable, with Ultra roughly halving the frame rate compared to Low at each resolution.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX combination ranks 431st out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places the combo in the top 14.3% of all configurations tested, which is a strong showing given the large number of possible CPU-GPU pairings. The rank reflects the combination's ability to produce high frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU's power is fully utilized.

The rank of 431 is influenced by the fact that many other combos include higher-end CPUs, even though the RX 7900 XTX is a top-tier GPU. The 5500X3D's 6-core, 12-thread configuration is competitive but not the fastest available, so the combo may trail configurations with more powerful processors in CPU-bound scenarios. However, the measured FPS data suggests that Fivem is not heavily CPU-bound, as the frame rates scale primarily with resolution, which is a GPU-driven factor.

In context, a rank of 431 out of 3005 means the combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems. The 85th percentile CPU score and 64th percentile GPU score indicate that both components are above average, and their combination places the system well within the upper tier of performance. The rank is a composite measure, and the FPS data supports that this combo is more than adequate for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, with solid 4K capability as well.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 192 FPS average, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate display. The Medium preset offers 237 FPS, which is even better for competitive play, but the jump from High to Medium is only 45 FPS. The Ultra preset at 149 FPS is also smooth, but the 43 FPS drop from High to Ultra may not be worth the visual gains for most users. Low at 258 FPS is the maximum, but it sacrifices visual quality substantially.

At 2560x1440, the High preset provides 126 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 158 FPS is a better choice for those prioritizing frame rate, while Ultra at 98 FPS is still playable but closer to the 60 FPS threshold. Low at 200 FPS is the highest, but again, the visual trade-off is significant. For the best balance, the Medium preset is recommended at 1440p, as it offers a 32 FPS advantage over High while retaining decent visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset yields 88 FPS average, which is the best option for a smooth 4K experience. Low at 111 FPS is even better for frame rate, but High at 70 FPS is acceptable for slower games, and Ultra at 54 FPS is borderline. Given that the Medium preset also has a recorded minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 101 FPS, it provides a stable experience without significant dips. Therefore, for 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it balances performance and quality, while High is suitable for those who prefer higher visual settings and can tolerate lower frame rates.
