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. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a 105 W TDP. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache. This large L3 cache is critical for Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V and frequently loads and re-loads game assets, scripts, and player data. The CPU’s PassMark data compression score of 230392 and integer math score of 60033 indicate strong throughput for the sort of background tasks and server-side processing that Fivem environments generate.

In Fivem, the CPU’s single-thread performance is often the bottleneck in crowded areas with many players and vehicles. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D’s single-thread score of 2941 places it in a competitive position. Its nearest rivals by average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F (36945, delta 0.2%), Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (36938, delta 0.2%), and Intel Core i9-12900T (37112, delta -0.3%). The 5500X3D’s score of 37018 is effectively tied with these chips, meaning Fivem’s frame times should be similar in CPU-limited scenarios at lower resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 258 FPS, suggesting the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with frames well beyond typical 144 Hz monitor refresh rates.

The CPU’s 96 MB L3 cache is a standout feature. While the data does not directly measure cache hit rates in Fivem, the benchmark results show strong performance in floating-point math (34511) and physics (2282), both of which are relevant to Fivem’s vehicle physics and environmental interactions. The PassMark extended instructions score of 15925 also indicates the CPU handles AVX and other modern instruction sets efficiently, which can help with the many modded scripts that run concurrently. The CPU’s memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is sufficient for this game’s data streaming needs. For players at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor, as evidenced by the high frame rates at Low and Medium settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 684th out of 3005 tested combos for Fivem. This places the system in the top 22.8% of all tested combinations, which is a strong result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank reflects the fact that Fivem’s performance is heavily influenced by both CPU and GPU, and this combo provides a balanced profile. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs means it outperforms the vast majority of processors in general benchmarks, while the GPU’s 81st percentile ranking shows similar strength on the graphics side.

The combo’s rank of 684 is notable because it suggests that there are 683 combinations that perform better in Fivem. These likely include CPUs with higher single-thread scores (such as newer Intel or AMD parts) paired with GPUs like the RTX 4080 or higher. However, the 5500X3D’s large L3 cache and the RTX 4070’s 12 GB VRAM make this combo particularly well-suited for Fivem’s typical load of modded assets and high player counts. The data shows that at 1440p Medium, the combo maintains a minimum FPS of 115, which is well above the threshold for competitive play. At 1080p, the combo exceeds 200 FPS on Medium (205 FPS) and 250 FPS on Low (258 FPS), indicating that for most esports-style Fivem servers, this combo will not be the bottleneck.

Compared to other combos in the database, the 684th rank is impressive given that the CPU was released in June 2025 and the GPU is from April 2023. The RTX 4070’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (avg score 38135, delta -1.3%), which is faster but consumes more power, and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (avg score 37507, delta 0.4%), which is slower. The CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its score, meaning that swapping to a Ryzen 5 5600F or Intel Core Ultra 5 225 would yield nearly identical Fivem performance. The combo’s rank is therefore more dependent on the GPU’s raw rendering power than on marginal CPU differences.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with some rows including minimum and maximum FPS values.

1920x1080: At this resolution, the combo is heavily GPU-bound at higher settings. Low settings produce an average of 258 FPS, which is the highest recorded for any configuration. Medium settings yield 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and a maximum of 236, indicating smooth performance even in busy scenes. High settings drop to 164 FPS, still well above 144 Hz. Ultra settings produce 128 FPS, which is playable but shows the game’s demanding nature at max quality. The jump from Low to Medium is 53 FPS (258 to 205), while the jump from Medium to High is 41 FPS (205 to 164), and from High to Ultra is 36 FPS (164 to 128). This suggests diminishing returns as settings increase, but the combo never falls below 128 FPS at 1080p.

2560x1440: At 1440p, the GPU’s workload increases significantly. Low settings produce 171 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings yield 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 and a maximum of 156, providing a solid 60+ FPS experience without any noticeable stutter. High settings produce 108 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for most monitors. Ultra settings drop to 84 FPS, which is acceptable for single-player or less competitive modes. The scaling from Low to Medium is 36 FPS (171 to 135), from Medium to High is 27 FPS (135 to 108), and from High to Ultra is 24 FPS (108 to 84). At 1440p, the combo performs best at Medium settings, where the minimum FPS of 115 ensures consistent frame delivery.

3840x2160: At 4K, the RTX 4070’s 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are tested to their limits. Low settings produce 95 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K and indicates the game is well-optimized at low settings. Medium settings yield 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 86, providing a playable experience just above 60 FPS. High settings drop to 60 FPS, which is exactly the threshold for smooth gameplay but leaves no headroom for dips. Ultra settings produce 47 FPS, which is below 60 and may cause noticeable stuttering in fast-paced scenes. The scaling at 4K is more severe: from Low to Medium is 20 FPS (95 to 75), from Medium to High is 15 FPS (75 to 60), and from High to Ultra is 13 FPS (60 to 47). The minimum FPS of 64 at Medium settings suggests that this is the highest quality preset that can maintain 60+ FPS at 4K.

The GPU’s PassMark DirectX 12 score of 103 and DirectX 11 score of 244 indicate strong compatibility with modern APIs. The GPU’s ray tracing cores (46) and tensor cores (184) are not directly tested in Fivem, but they provide headroom for other games. The GPU’s power draw is 200 W with a suggested PSU of 550 W, which is reasonable for a dual-slot card.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the user’s resolution and refresh rate.

For 1920x1080 (1080p): The combo can handle Ultra settings at 128 FPS, which is above 60 FPS and suitable for 144 Hz displays. However, for maximum smoothness, Medium settings at 205 FPS (min 175) provide a significant margin above any refresh rate, ensuring no frame drops even in chaotic multiplayer lobbies. High settings at 164 FPS are a balanced choice for users who want visual quality without sacrificing frame headroom. Low settings are unnecessary at 1080p unless targeting 240 Hz displays, where 258 FPS would be beneficial.

For 2560x1440 (1440p): Medium settings are the clear recommendation, delivering 135 FPS average with a minimum of 115 FPS. This provides a smooth experience on 144 Hz monitors with no risk of drops below 100 FPS. High settings at 108 FPS are still excellent for 60 Hz or 120 Hz displays, but the lower minimum FPS (not provided) could introduce occasional stutters in dense areas. Ultra settings at 84 FPS are playable but not ideal for competitive play; they are best reserved for single-player or low-population servers. Low settings at 171 FPS are recommended only for users with 165 Hz or higher refresh rate monitors who prioritize frame rate over visuals.

For 3840x2160 (4K): Medium settings are the only preset that maintains an average FPS above 60 (75 FPS) with a minimum of 64 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K gaming. Low settings at 95 FPS offer a higher margin but sacrifice visual fidelity. High settings at 60 FPS are borderline, as any dip below 60 will cause noticeable judder. Ultra settings at 47 FPS are not recommended for Fivem, as the game’s fast-paced multiplayer nature requires at least 60 FPS for responsive gameplay. Users with 4K displays should stick to Medium or Low settings and consider lowering resolution to 1440p if they prefer Ultra quality.

In summary, the best experience per the measured rows is 1440p Medium, which combines high resolution, good visual quality, and a minimum FPS of 115. For 1080p users, Medium or High settings provide the best balance, while 4K users should use Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS. The combo’s strong CPU and GPU performance ensures that no setting preset at 1080p or 1440p falls below playable thresholds, and only 4K Ultra pushes the system beyond its limits.
