Fivem

# Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER shows a clear pattern: the Medium preset delivers the best balance of smoothness and visual fidelity across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium produces 229 FPS average, which is only 29 FPS below the Low preset's 258 FPS but a substantial 87 FPS above High's 183 FPS. The story repeats at 1440p, where Medium reaches 151 FPS average compared to High's 120 FPS and Low's 191 FPS, while at 4K Medium holds 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 FPS and maximum of 96 FPS.

For players targeting the highest refresh rates, Low settings are the obvious choice — at 1080p it produces 258 FPS average, and even at 1440p it maintains 191 FPS. However, the frame time consistency at Medium is notably better, as it is the only preset with recorded minimum and maximum values. The Medium preset's measured range of 194-263 FPS at 1080p shows that the combo can sustain high frame rates without severe dips, whereas the Low preset's lack of min/max data suggests it may be hitting CPU limitations that create uneven frame pacing.

Ultra settings are difficult to recommend for competitive play. At 4K, Ultra drops to 52 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many players consider minimum for smooth gameplay. Even at 1440p, Ultra's 93 FPS average is workable but leaves little headroom for the frame drops that are common in Fivem's multiplayer servers with many players and vehicles. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot: it offers meaningful visual upgrades over Low while maintaining frame rates that are high enough for responsive gameplay at all tested resolutions.

# How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 668th out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 18% of all configurations tested in this game. The percentile ranking is strong, though not elite — the combo sits well above the median performer but below the top-tier configurations that dominate the leaderboard. Given that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D holds an 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the RTX 4070 SUPER holds an 83rd percentile among all GPUs, the combo's Fivem ranking is roughly in line with what the individual component percentiles would suggest.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution to this result. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37,018 in average benchmark, sitting just 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F (36,945) and 0.2% above the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (36,938). It trails the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 by 0.2% (37,093) and the Intel Core i9-12900T by 0.3% (37,112). These margins are negligible in real-world terms, meaning the 5500X3D is effectively performance-equivalent to these four rivals in general compute workloads. For Fivem specifically, the 96 MB of shared L3 cache on the 5500X3D likely helps with the game's server-side scripting and entity management, but the benchmark data cannot isolate this effect.

The GPU side shows a similar story. The RTX 4070 SUPER averages 43,223 in benchmark scores, sitting 0.1% below the Quadro M6000 24 GB (43,262) and the RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268), 0.2% below the Quadro M6000 (43,301), and 1% below the RTX 4090 Mobile (43,667). These are all effectively tied performances, indicating that the 4070 SUPER is a well-balanced mid-to-high-range card that trades blows with mobile and professional variants in synthetic tests. In Fivem, the measured FPS confirms that this GPU has ample headroom at 1080p and 1440p, with the CPU becoming the more significant factor at those resolutions.

# GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER's memory configuration plays a significant role in Fivem's performance. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, the card offers 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Fivem is known for loading large amounts of custom assets, scripts, and high-resolution textures from multiplayer servers, and the 12 GB capacity ensures that texture streaming does not become a bottleneck at 4K resolution. The card's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz provide the raw compute throughput needed to sustain high frame rates, with the 80 ROPs handling pixel output efficiently.

At 4K resolution, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor. The FPS drop from 106 at Low to 52 at Ultra settings demonstrates that the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering capabilities are being fully exercised at this resolution. The card's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 554.4 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient for High settings at 4K (67 FPS) but struggle with Ultra's increased geometry and shading demands. The 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are present but Fivem does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS, so these features contribute little to the measured results.

At 1080p and 1440p, the GPU is less stressed, and the CPU's 96 MB L3 cache becomes more relevant. The 5500X3D's six cores and 12 threads, running at 3.00 GHz base and 4.00 GHz boost, are sufficient to keep up with the GPU's frame output at these lower resolutions. The 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth of the DDR4 dual-channel configuration is adequate, though the data suggests that frame rates at 1080p Low (258 FPS) are approaching the CPU's practical limit for this workload. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM is more than enough even at 4K Ultra, where the 52 FPS result is compute-limited rather than memory-limited.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. Low settings yield 258 FPS average, Medium produces 229 FPS with a range of 194-263 FPS, High delivers 183 FPS, and Ultra drops to 142 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 116 FPS, representing a 45% reduction in performance when maxing out settings. The Medium preset's minimum of 194 FPS is particularly notable because it stays above the refresh rate of most high-end 1080p monitors, meaning players with 144Hz or even 165Hz displays will experience no screen tearing regardless of the Medium preset's average.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings produce 191 FPS average, Medium yields 151 FPS with a range of 128-173 FPS, High delivers 120 FPS, and Ultra drops to 93 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 128 FPS is still above 120Hz, making it viable for high-refresh 1440p displays. The gap between Low and Ultra is 98 FPS, a 51% reduction that shows the resolution increase amplifies the settings impact. At this resolution, the combo remains capable of competitive frame rates even at High settings, with 120 FPS providing a solid baseline for most multiplayer scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more modest. Low settings produce 106 FPS average, Medium yields 84 FPS with a range of 71-96 FPS, High delivers 67 FPS, and Ultra drops to 52 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 71 FPS is the first time the combo falls below the 72 FPS threshold that some players consider minimum for smooth gameplay on high-refresh 4K displays. High settings at 67 FPS are borderline, while Ultra at 52 FPS is playable but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 54 FPS, a 51% reduction that mirrors the 1440p scaling.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about where the bottleneck lies in this combo. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p (258 FPS) to 1440p (191 FPS) represents a 26% reduction, and from 1440p to 4K (106 FPS) a further 45% reduction. The overall drop from 1080p to 4K is 59%. At Medium settings, the drop is more pronounced: 1080p (229 FPS) to 1440p (151 FPS) is a 34% reduction, and 1440p to 4K (84 FPS) is a 44% reduction, totaling 63% from 1080p to 4K.

The pattern changes at High and Ultra settings. At High, 1080p (183 FPS) to 1440p (120 FPS) is a 34% reduction, and 1440p to 4K (67 FPS) is a 44% reduction, totaling 63%. At Ultra, 1080p (142 FPS) to 1440p (93 FPS) is a 35% reduction, and 1440p to 4K (52 FPS) is a 44% reduction, totaling 63%. The consistency of the resolution scaling across Medium, High, and Ultra settings — all showing approximately 63% total reduction from 1080p to 4K — indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at these settings. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the scaling would be less consistent because CPU workload does not scale directly with resolution.

The Low settings data tells a slightly different story. The 26% drop from 1080p to 1440p is smaller than the 34-35% drops seen at other settings, suggesting that at Low settings and 1080p, the CPU is partially limiting performance. The 258 FPS at 1080p Low is likely near the CPU's maximum frame output for Fivem's single-threaded game logic, and as resolution increases, the GPU load grows but the CPU load remains relatively constant. This explains why the 4K Low result (106 FPS) is closer to the 1440p Low result (191 FPS) than the resolution difference alone would suggest — at 4K Low, the GPU is still able to keep up with the CPU's frame output.
