Fivem

Fivem is a unique multiplayer environment that stresses both CPU and GPU heavily, and the pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER produces a wide range of performance outcomes depending on the resolution and quality preset selected. The measured data reveals a system capable of delivering high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K performance remains playable but requires more careful settings management. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates, settings scaling, and component roles based solely on the provided benchmark data.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, but the pattern reveals a system that transitions from a CPU-bound state at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound state at higher ones. At the Low preset, the average frame rate drops from 290 FPS at 1920x1080 to 191 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 106 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 34% decrease from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44% decrease from 1440p to 4K. The absolute numbers at 1080p and 1440p are so high that they suggest the CPU is the limiting factor at those resolutions, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames far faster than the processor can feed it.

At the High preset, the scaling is even more pronounced. The average frame rate falls from 183 FPS at 1080p to 120 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and then to 67 FPS at 4K (a 44% drop from 1440p). This consistent percentage drop across presets indicates that the resolution scaling is largely independent of the quality settings, which is typical for a game where pixel count is the dominant factor. The gap between the Low and High presets narrows as resolution increases: at 1080p, the difference is 107 FPS (290 vs 183), but at 4K, the difference shrinks to 39 FPS (106 vs 67). This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is working near its limits regardless of the preset, and the extra load from higher quality settings has a relatively smaller impact.

The Ultra preset tells a different story. At 1080p, it delivers 142 FPS, which is 41 FPS lower than High. At 1440p, it drops to 93 FPS, and at 4K, it falls to 52 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 35% drop, and from 1440p to 4K is a 44% drop, mirroring the other presets. However, the absolute 4K number of 52 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The data shows that the limiting component shifts from the CPU at 1080p to the GPU at 4K, with the crossover point occurring somewhere in the 1440p range where both components are more evenly balanced.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which presets offer the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080, all four presets deliver playable frame rates, with Low at 290 FPS, Medium at 229 FPS, High at 183 FPS, and Ultra at 142 FPS. For players with high refresh rate monitors (144Hz or higher), the High preset at 183 FPS offers an excellent combination of visual fidelity and smoothness, while the Medium preset at 229 FPS provides even more headroom for those with 240Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 142 FPS is still viable for 144Hz displays, but the additional visual quality over High is marginal compared to the 41 FPS sacrifice.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts. The Low preset at 191 FPS is unnecessarily high for most displays, while the High preset at 120 FPS is perfectly suited for 120Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 151 FPS is also excellent for 144Hz displays, offering a 31 FPS advantage over High. The Ultra preset at 93 FPS is playable but falls short of high refresh rate targets, making it a less attractive option unless visual quality is the absolute priority. For most users at 1440p, the High preset provides the best experience, as it maintains a 120 FPS average while delivering significantly better visuals than Medium.

At 3840x2160, the choices become more constrained. The Low preset at 106 FPS is the only option that comfortably exceeds 100 FPS, while the Medium preset at 84 FPS is still smooth for 60Hz displays. The High preset at 67 FPS is playable but requires a VRR display to avoid tearing, and the Ultra preset at 52 FPS is borderline, dipping below the 60 FPS threshold. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 84 FPS offers the best balance, as it maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while providing much better visuals than Low. Players who prioritize frame rate above all else should use Low, but for most, Medium is the sweet spot at 4K.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 4K with a stable 60 FPS?

A: Yes, but only with the right settings. The Medium preset at 3840x2160 delivers an average of 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 FPS, which comfortably exceeds 60 FPS. The High preset at 67 FPS is also above 60 FPS on average, but the Ultra preset at 52 FPS falls below that threshold.

Q: What is the best preset for a 144Hz monitor at 1440p?

A: The Medium preset at 2560x1440 delivers 151 FPS average with a minimum of 128 FPS, making it the best choice for a 144Hz display. The High preset at 120 FPS is also viable but leaves less headroom for frame drops.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the CPU is the limiting factor at 1920x1080. The Low preset achieves 290 FPS, which is exceptionally high, but the scaling between presets (e.g., 290 to 229 to 183) indicates that the GPU has more capability than the CPU can fully utilize at this resolution.

Q: How much performance is gained by dropping from Ultra to Low at 4K?

A: The measured data shows a 54 FPS difference at 3840x2160, from 52 FPS on Ultra to 106 FPS on Low. This represents a more than doubling of frame rate, making Low the clear choice for competitive play at 4K.

Q: Does the 12 GB VRAM cause any limitations in Fivem?

A: The measured frame rates show no evidence of VRAM-related stutters or crashes. The minimum FPS values recorded (71 FPS at 4K Medium, 128 FPS at 1440p Medium, 194 FPS at 1080p Medium) are consistent with the average FPS, indicating that memory capacity is not a bottleneck in this game.

Q: What is the expected frame rate at 1440p Ultra?

A: The data shows an average of 93 FPS at 2560x1440 on the Ultra preset. This is playable but below the 120 FPS target that many competitive players seek, so the High or Medium presets are recommended for higher refresh rates.

Players using this setup can expect to outperform more than 83% of tested configurations in Fivem, which is a solid result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The data shows that the combo is well-balanced for this game, with neither component dragging the other down significantly in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER plays a critical role in this combo, and its specifications directly influence the measured FPS results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for Fivem at all tested resolutions, as evidenced by the consistent minimum FPS values that do not indicate any memory-related throttling. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz are relatively high, and the measured performance suggests that the card is able to maintain high clock speeds under load.

The GPU architecture is Ada Lovelace, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, which contributes to its efficiency and performance. With 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, the RTX 4070 SUPER has substantial raw compute power. The FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS is particularly relevant for Fivem, which relies heavily on traditional rasterization rather than ray tracing. The 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are present but likely underutilized in this game, as Fivem does not heavily implement ray tracing or DLSS features.

The GPU's performance in Fivem is best illustrated by the scaling between presets. At 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as the CPU holds back the frame rate. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, and the data shows a clear progression from 106 FPS on Low to 52 FPS on Ultra. This 54 FPS range at 4K demonstrates that the GPU's workload increases significantly with quality settings, and the 12 GB VRAM is sufficient to handle the highest textures without issue. The GPU's 83rd percentile ranking against all GPUs further confirms that it is a high-performing part, even if it is not the absolute fastest available.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 290 on Low to 142 on Ultra. The Medium preset provides the only min/max data at this resolution, with a minimum of 194 FPS and a maximum of 263 FPS, indicating a stable frame time distribution. The High preset at 183 FPS is 41 FPS lower than Medium, while Ultra is another 41 FPS lower, showing a linear degradation as quality increases.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 191 on Low to 93 on Ultra. The Medium preset again provides min/max data, with a minimum of 128 FPS and a maximum of 173 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across presets, with Low losing 99 FPS, Medium losing 78 FPS, High losing 63 FPS, and Ultra losing 49 FPS. This pattern shows that higher quality presets suffer less absolute FPS loss when resolution increases, because they are already more GPU-bound at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 106 on Low to 52 on Ultra. The Medium preset provides the only min/max data at this resolution, with a minimum of 71 FPS and a maximum of 96 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is again consistent, with Low losing 85 FPS, Medium losing 67 FPS, High losing 53 FPS, and Ultra losing 41 FPS. The minimum FPS of 71 at 4K Medium is particularly notable, as it demonstrates that the combo can maintain playable frame rates even in demanding scenes. The data across all resolutions shows that the Medium preset offers the most balanced performance, with the smallest gap between minimum and maximum FPS, indicating smoother frame pacing compared to other presets.
