# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a compelling Fivem experience, with measured results showing a clear progression from 55 FPS at 4K Ultra to 258 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination ranks 428th out of 3005 tested configurations in Fivem, placing it in the top 15% of all systems. The data reveals a system that is consistently playable across all tested settings, though the scaling patterns indicate where each component takes the lead.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows how Fivem responds to resolution changes with this hardware. At 1080p, the system produces 258 FPS on Low settings, dropping to 201 FPS at 1440p and 112 FPS at 4K. This represents a 56.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count increases. The same trend appears across all quality presets, though the percentage drops vary.

At High settings, the system delivers 193 FPS at 1080p, 127 FPS at 1440p, and 70 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34.2%, while 1440p to 4K shows a 44.9% reduction. This steeper decline at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is the limiting factor as resolution increases. The Ultra preset tells a similar story: 150 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and just 55 FPS at 4K — a 63.3% loss from 1080p to 4K.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data with min and max FPS measurements. At 1080p Medium, the average is 237 FPS with a minimum of 201 and maximum of 272. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 159 FPS with a range of 135 to 182. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 101. The consistency of these ranges shows that frame pacing remains stable across resolutions, with the spread between min and max staying proportionally similar.

The scaling behavior points to the RTX 4070 Ti as the primary bottleneck at 4K. The 55 FPS at Ultra and 70 FPS at High demonstrate that 4K gaming pushes this GPU to its limits in Fivem. Conversely, at 1080p, the CPU's influence becomes more apparent — the difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is only 108 FPS (258 versus 150), suggesting that even at lower graphical loads, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D's six cores and twelve threads keep the system from reaching higher frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock of 3.00 GHz boosts to 4.00 GHz, and it carries 96 MB of shared L3 cache — a substantial amount that benefits gaming workloads. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score is 2941, while the multithread score reaches 20363, placing it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs.

The nearest rivals show how tightly grouped this processor is in the broader market. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F scores 36945 on average, just 0.2% lower than the 5500X3D's 37018 average. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, a 0.2% advantage over the 5500X3D. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 matches at 36938 (0.2% lower), and the Intel Core i9-12900T sits at 37112 (0.3% higher). This clustering indicates that the 5500X3D performs within a narrow band of its direct competitors, with no single rival holding a meaningful advantage.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the 1080p results. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 258 FPS, which is the highest measured value across all configurations. However, the jump from 1080p Low to 1080p Ultra only reduces performance to 150 FPS — a 41.9% drop. This suggests that while the CPU can feed the GPU at lower settings, the graphical load at Ultra does not fully saturate the CPU's capabilities, and the GPU's rendering demands take over.

The L3 cache configuration is notable for a gaming-focused processor. The 96 MB shared L3 cache is significantly larger than typical desktop CPUs, and this likely contributes to the processor's strong PassMark integer math score of 60033 and floating point score of 34511. The data compression score of 230392 and random string sorting score of 23675 further indicate robust computational throughput, which helps maintain consistent frame rates in a multiplayer environment like Fivem where server-side data processing can create CPU spikes.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip on a 5 nm process with 35,800 million transistors. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock runs at 2310 MHz with a boost of 2610 MHz, and memory operates at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU has 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores supporting ray tracing and AI workloads.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 31624 places it at the 84th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile at 45152 (0.8% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45384 (1.3% higher), the NVIDIA RTX A6000 at 44075 (1.6% lower), and the Intel Arc A730M at 45592 (1.7% higher). These deltas are remarkably small, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti sits in a competitive performance tier despite being an end-of-life product.

In Fivem, the GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth prove sufficient even at 4K Ultra, where the system still delivers 55 FPS. The 4K results across all presets show the GPU's scaling: 112 FPS at Low, 88 FPS at Medium, 70 FPS at High, and 55 FPS at Ultra. This 50.9% reduction from Low to Ultra at 4K demonstrates how the GPU's rendering workload scales with graphical complexity.

The 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate provide ample compute for Fivem's world rendering. The 208.8 GPixel/s pixel rate supports high-resolution output, which is reflected in the playable 4K numbers. At 1440p, the GPU shows more headroom: 201 FPS at Low and 98 FPS at Ultra, suggesting that 1440p is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate monitors with this hardware.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data supports Ultra settings as the best experience for visual quality at 1080p, where the system maintains 150 FPS — well above the 144 Hz threshold for most gaming monitors. At 1440p, High settings deliver 127 FPS, which remains smooth for high-refresh displays, while Ultra drops to 98 FPS and sacrifices some fluidity. For 4K, High settings at 70 FPS provide the best balance, as Ultra at 55 FPS approaches the edge of comfortable playability for fast-paced multiplayer.

The Medium preset offers the most consistent frame pacing across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the 237 FPS average with a 201 minimum ensures no noticeable stutter. At 1440p Medium, 159 FPS with a 135 minimum keeps gameplay fluid. At 4K Medium, 88 FPS with a 75 minimum is acceptable for less competitive play. The measured min/max data for Medium shows narrower variance than other presets, making it the safest choice for maintaining stable performance.

For competitive play, Low settings at 1080p produce 258 FPS, which maximizes responsiveness. The 1440p Low result of 201 FPS also supports high-refresh competitive gaming. However, the visual compromise may not be worth the frame rate gain for most players, given that High at 1440p already achieves 127 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p (150 FPS) and High at 1440p (127 FPS) represent the best compromises between image quality and performance.
