Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title that scales heavily with both CPU and GPU resources, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a strong, high-refresh-rate experience across most settings. The measured frame rates reveal a system that is well-balanced at 1440p, but the data also shows where each component becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution and graphical fidelity change.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data shows a clear and predictable drop as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that drop is heavily dependent on the selected quality preset. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a frame rate reduction from 298.2 FPS to 204.8 FPS, a substantial 31% decrease. Moving further to 4K at Low settings yields 110.7 FPS, which is a 46% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep scaling curve at Low settings indicates that the system is not purely GPU-limited at lower resolutions; the CPU is capable of pushing very high frame rates, and the GPU workload becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

The scaling pattern shifts when looking at High settings. At 1080p, the system produces 191.5 FPS, which drops to 126.9 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 71.7 FPS at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p). The 4K High result of 71.7 FPS is still playable, but it represents a significant departure from the high refresh rate territory seen at lower resolutions. The Ultra preset shows a similar trend, with 150.9 FPS at 1080p, 98.5 FPS at 1440p, and a more dramatic fall to 51.4 FPS at 4K. This 48% drop from 1440p to 4K at Ultra suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s compute and memory bandwidth are being heavily taxed by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings.

The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the dominant performance limiter at 4K across all presets, as the frame rates scale almost inversely with resolution. At 1080p, however, the CPU begins to show its influence. The difference between Low (298.2 FPS) and Ultra (150.9 FPS) at 1080p is a 49% spread, which is larger than the spread at 4K, where Low (110.7 FPS) and Ultra (51.4 FPS) differ by 54%. This indicates that at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600X can feed the GPU enough data to expose the GPU’s limitations, but the CPU’s 6-core, 12-thread configuration is still a factor in keeping frame rates from scaling linearly with GPU load.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the clear workhorse for Fivem, and its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides a substantial 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is a critical asset for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which often features large, densely populated environments and custom assets that can consume significant video memory. The data shows that the GPU’s architecture, based on the AD103 chip and Ada Lovelace design, is well-suited to the game’s demands, as it maintains respectable frame rates even at the most demanding settings.

The GPU’s boost clock of 2610 MHz, up from a base of 2340 MHz, allows it to sustain high throughput in extended sessions. In benchmark results, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 31,811 in Passmark G3D and 44.10 TFLOPS in FP32 compute, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. This raw compute power translates directly to Fivem performance, where the GPU’s shading units (8,448) and texture mapping units (264) are heavily utilized for the game’s visual effects and object rendering. The measured frame rates confirm this, as the GPU manages to deliver 126.9 FPS at 1440p High settings, a figure that is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER holds its ground. It is 1.6% faster than the NVIDIA RTX A2000 and 2% faster than the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, while being 0.7% slower than the NVIDIA CMP 50HX and 2.1% slower than the Intel Arc A550M. These deltas are small, but the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s advantage lies in its 16 GB memory capacity, which is more than double that of some competitors and provides headroom for high-resolution textures. The GPU’s 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores also ensure that any ray tracing or DLSS features are handled efficiently, though Fivem’s measured results do not specifically isolate those workloads.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a crucial role in Fivem’s frame pacing, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. The CPU’s Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer) operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 4.60 GHz, which provides strong single-thread performance for the game’s core logic and multiplayer synchronization. In single-thread benchmarks, the 5600X scores 917 in 3DMark and 2,622 in Cinebench R23, reflecting its ability to handle the per-frame calculations that Fivem’s simulation requires.

The CPU’s 32 MB of L3 cache is a significant asset, as it helps reduce memory latency when accessing frequently used game data. The 5600X’s benchmark results show a peak 3DMark score of 5,588 with max threads, and a Passmark multithread score of 21,858. This level of multi-threaded performance is adequate for Fivem, which can utilize multiple cores for AI, physics, and network processing. However, the data suggests that the CPU starts to become a limiting factor at 1080p Low settings, where the frame rate peaks at 298.2 FPS. This is a high number, but it indicates that the CPU is near its maximum throughput for the game’s thread scheduler.

In terms of its peer group, the Ryzen 5 5600X is nearly identical in average benchmark score to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT (0.3% slower) and the Intel Core i7-10700 (0.3% slower). It is 0.5% slower than the Intel Core i5-12490F and 0.7% faster than the Intel Xeon 6325P. These comparisons highlight that the 5600X is a middle-of-the-pack performer among its immediate rivals, but its 4.60 GHz boost clock and 65W TDP make it an efficient choice. For Fivem, the CPU’s single-core strength is more important than raw multi-thread scores, and the data shows that it can sustain frame rates above 190 FPS at 1080p High, which is more than sufficient for most displays.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the High preset at 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for the Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination. At 1440p High, the system delivers 126.9 FPS, which is well above the 100 FPS mark and provides a smooth, responsive experience for a multiplayer game. This setting also leaves headroom for occasional dips in busy areas, as the average is robust. The 4K High option, at 71.7 FPS, is playable but sits closer to the edge of what is ideal for fast-paced action, making it a secondary choice for users with 4K displays who prioritize visual fidelity.

For users seeking maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p yields 298.2 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play on high refresh rate monitors. However, the visual trade-off is significant. The Medium preset at 1440p provides a middle ground at 157.3 FPS, but the jump to High is only a 19% performance cost (from 157.3 FPS to 126.9 FPS) for a noticeable improvement in texture and shadow quality. The Ultra preset at 1440p, at 98.5 FPS, is the least recommended, as it delivers a frame rate below the 100 FPS target and the visual gains over High are often subtle in a multiplayer environment. At 4K, the High preset is the clear choice, as the Ultra preset’s 51.4 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold for consistent smoothness.
