Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination delivers a robust experience in Fivem, positioning itself in the 91st percentile of all tested system configurations for this multiplayer title. With a combo rank of 260 out of 3005 tested pairs, this setup demonstrates strong overall capability, though the data reveals a clear narrative about where the performance ceiling lies depending on resolution and settings. The measured frames per second across a matrix of three resolutions and four quality presets provide a detailed look into how this specific CPU and GPU pair handles Fivem’s engine, with the results indicating a system that is well-balanced at higher resolutions but increasingly CPU-bound as the load shifts.

Resolution Scaling

Analyzing the measured FPS data reveals a distinct pattern in how this combination scales from 1080p to 4K. At the High settings preset, the average frame rate drops from 209 FPS at 1920x1080 to 138 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 76 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 34% performance hit when moving from 1440p to 4K, and a more substantial 64% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The scaling behavior is consistent across other presets; for instance, Medium settings yield 237 FPS at 1080p, 172 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K, showing a similar proportional decline.

The shape of this scaling curve is telling. The difference between 1080p and 1440p is relatively smaller (approximately 31 FPS at High settings) compared to the gap between 1440p and 4K (approximately 62 FPS at High settings). This non-linear degradation suggests that the graphics card becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises, with the 4K resolution pushing the GPU to its limits. However, the fact that the system still maintains playable frame rates at 4K High (76 FPS) and even approaches the 60 FPS threshold at 4K Ultra (59 FPS) indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB frame buffer and 736.3 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to handle the texture and geometry loads typical of Fivem’s multiplayer environments.

Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the spread from Low (258 FPS) to Ultra (162 FPS) is 96 FPS, while at 4K that spread grows to 62 FPS (from 121 FPS at Low to 59 FPS at Ultra). This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiter, as even the lowest settings cannot push the frame rate higher than 258 FPS, while the GPU has headroom to render more frames. At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint, as the absolute frame rates drop across all settings, and the relative performance difference between presets shrinks, indicating that the rendering pipeline is saturated.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field places this specific pairing at rank 260 out of 3005 tested combinations, which translates to roughly the top 8.6% of all systems benchmarked in Fivem. This is a strong showing, especially considering the CPU’s position in the broader market. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D has a percentileVsAllCpus score of 85, meaning it outperforms 85% of all CPUs in the database, while the RTX 4080 SUPER has a percentileVsAllGpus score of 86. The combination of two components that each sit in the mid-80s percentile yields a system that ranks higher than 91% of all combos tested in this specific game, suggesting that Fivem’s workload is well-suited to this particular balance of CPU and GPU resources.

The ranking also implies that there are 259 other combinations that achieve higher average frame rates in Fivem, which likely include systems with more powerful CPUs (higher core counts or newer architectures) paired with the same or similar GPUs. However, the delta between this combo and the top 260 is not necessarily large, as the game’s performance is often limited by server-side simulation and single-threaded script execution in multiplayer scenarios. The data indicates that this combo is far from the bottom of the pack, and the measured FPS numbers at 1080p (ranging from 162 to 258 FPS) confirm that the system is capable of delivering very high refresh rates, which is often the primary goal for Fivem players who prioritize smoothness in competitive or roleplay servers.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is a key contributor to this combo’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is a substantial resource for Fivem, which can be memory-hungry when loading custom assets, high-resolution textures, and player-created content common in multiplayer servers. The memory operates at 1438 MHz with 23 Gbps effective speed across a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This bandwidth is critical for streaming geometry and textures in dense urban environments, and the data suggests it is sufficient to avoid major stuttering, as evidenced by the min FPS values recorded at Medium settings (81 FPS at 4K and 146 FPS at 1440p).

The GPU’s clock speeds are also relevant to the measured results. With a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, the RTX 4080 SUPER maintains high utilization even when the CPU is delivering frames at a fast pace. The chip’s transistor count of 45,900 million on a 5 nm process from TSMC allows for high shader throughput, with 10240 shading units and 320 texture mapping units. These specifications translate into a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s, which are more than adequate for Fivem’s graphics load, even at Ultra settings where the average FPS drops to 59 at 4K.

The GPU’s benchmark scores corroborate its strong performance. Its passmark_g3d score of 34245 places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals include the RTX 4080 (with a deltaPct of -0.1%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (with a deltaPct of -2.7%). This indicates that the 4080 SUPER is marginally slower than the standard 4080 in synthetic tests, but the difference is negligible in real-world gaming. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 further confirms its high-end positioning, and the data shows that it is the primary driver of frame rates at 4K, where the CPU’s influence diminishes.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For players using a 1080p monitor with a 144 Hz or 240 Hz refresh rate, the High preset (209 FPS) is the clear choice, as it provides a significant visual upgrade over Low (258 FPS) while still exceeding 200 FPS, ensuring compatibility with high-refresh-rate displays. The Ultra preset at 1080p (162 FPS) is also viable for those with 144 Hz panels, but the drop to 162 FPS suggests that the CPU is becoming the bottleneck, as the GPU has enough headroom to render more frames if the processor could deliver them.

At 1440p, the Medium preset (172 FPS) offers the best balance, with a minimum FPS of 146 and a maximum of 198, providing smooth performance on 144 Hz monitors. The High preset (138 FPS) is also acceptable, though it approaches the refresh rate limit of standard 144 Hz panels. The Ultra preset at 1440p (107 FPS) is still playable and may be preferred for visual fidelity, but it does not fully utilize a 144 Hz display. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset (95 FPS) is the sweet spot, as it maintains an average above 90 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS, which is suitable for most 4K displays that operate at 60 Hz. The High preset (76 FPS) is also viable, but the Ultra preset (59 FPS) dips below the 60 FPS threshold, which may result in noticeable frame pacing issues on fixed-refresh-rate displays.

The data shows that the Low preset is rarely the best choice, as the frame rate gains over Medium are modest (e.g., 121 vs 95 FPS at 4K) while the visual quality reduction is substantial. The Medium preset appears to be the most efficient setting across all resolutions, offering the best ratio of visual quality to performance, with the caveat that 1080p Medium (237 FPS) may be unnecessary for most monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full measured FPS dataset provides a comprehensive view of this combo’s performance across nine distinct configurations. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 258 FPS on Low settings, 237 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 201 FPS and maximum of 272 FPS), 209 FPS on High, and 162 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate a heavily CPU-bound scenario, as the frame rates are exceptionally high and the GPU is not the limiting factor. The 96 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is notable, but even the lowest frame rate (162 FPS) is well above the refresh rate of most gaming monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales as expected, with Low settings producing 218 FPS, Medium producing 172 FPS (minimum 146, maximum 198), High producing 138 FPS, and Ultra producing 107 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is approximately 19% for Low settings (258 to 218 FPS) and 34% for High settings (209 to 138 FPS), indicating that the GPU is beginning to take on more of the workload. The Medium preset’s minimum FPS of 146 ensures a smooth experience even in demanding scenes with many players or vehicles.

At 3840x2160, the system delivers 121 FPS on Low, 95 FPS on Medium (minimum 81, maximum 110), 76 FPS on High, and 59 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show the GPU becoming the dominant bottleneck, as the frame rates drop more sharply with each preset change. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 62 FPS, which is smaller than the 96 FPS gap at 1080p, confirming that the GPU’s rendering capacity is being fully utilized at this resolution. The Medium preset’s minimum FPS of 81 is still respectable, but the Ultra preset’s average of 59 FPS suggests that players seeking a locked 60 FPS experience should avoid the highest settings at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D plays a crucial role in this combo’s performance, particularly at 1080p where the measured frame rates exceed 200 FPS. This 6-core, 12-thread processor is based on the Zen 3 architecture and codenamed Vermeer, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. Its defining feature is the large 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is substantial for a desktop CPU and likely benefits Fivem’s workload, which involves frequent access to game state data and script execution. The CPU’s passmark_single_thread score of 2941 and passmark_multithread score of 20363 place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F (deltaPct 0.2%) and the Intel Core i9-12900T (deltaPct -0.3%).

The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting component. The frame rates at Low settings (258 FPS) are only 21 FPS higher than at Medium settings (237 FPS), and the gap between Low and Ultra (96 FPS) is substantial, but the absolute numbers suggest that the CPU cannot push beyond a certain threshold. This is consistent with the CPU’s 3.00 GHz base clock, which is modest compared to newer processors, and its 6-core configuration, which may limit performance in Fivem’s multiplayer environments where server-side logic and physics simulations can be single-threaded. However, the 96 MB L3 cache is an advantage, as it reduces memory latency and improves cache hit rates for frequently accessed data, which is likely why the CPU still achieves high frame rates.

At 1440p and 4K, the CPU’s role diminishes, as the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck. The frame rate differential between Low and Ultra settings shrinks from 96 FPS at 1080p to 62 FPS at 4K, indicating that the GPU’s rendering workload dominates. The CPU’s memory support of DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient to feed the GPU, and the PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes provides adequate bandwidth for the RTX 4080 SUPER. The CPU’s TDP of 105 W suggests it is power-efficient, allowing sustained boost clocks without thermal throttling, which is important for maintaining consistent frame rates in long gaming sessions. Overall, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D provides ample processing power for Fivem, especially when paired with a high-end GPU, and its performance is well-matched to the GPU’s capabilities at standard gaming resolutions.
