Fivem

AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 deliver a highly playable Fivem experience across most settings, with the combination ranking in the 30th percentile of all tested combos. The data shows a clear pattern: this pairing is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K Ultra demands compromises. The system's performance ceiling is defined by the GPU at higher resolutions, while the CPU holds its own at lower settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance gradient as resolution increases, indicating a shift in the system's bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 246 FPS average, which drops to 194 FPS at Medium, 155 FPS at High, and 120 FPS at Ultra. This progression shows that even at 1080p, the GPU is already the primary limiter, as the CPU has ample headroom with its 6 cores and 12 threads.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS decreases by roughly 34-36% across all settings compared to 1080p. At Low settings, the system delivers 162 FPS, Medium produces 128 FPS, High yields 102 FPS, and Ultra drops to 79 FPS. The consistency of this scaling pattern—where each resolution step costs a similar percentage of performance—suggests the RX 9070's 16 GB memory buffer and 644.6 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to avoid capacity issues, but the GPU's compute throughput is being taxed progressively.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes more punishing. Low settings yield 90 FPS, Medium produces 71 FPS, High drops to 57 FPS, and Ultra falls to 44 FPS. The gap between 1440p and 4K is larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p, indicating that pixel count is overwhelming the GPU's 36.13 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The 4K Ultra result of 44 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold many consider the baseline for smooth gameplay, while 4K High at 57 FPS is borderline.

The scaling data indicates that this system is GPU-limited in all scenarios tested. The CPU's performance headroom is evident from the 1080p Low result of 246 FPS—a figure that would require substantial CPU capability to achieve, yet the GPU still manages to keep pace. At 4K, the CPU's workload diminishes relative to the GPU's, making the RX 9070 the clear bottleneck. For users targeting 4K, the data suggests Medium settings (71 FPS) are the practical ceiling, while 1440p High (102 FPS) offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain the measured results. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is more than adequate for Fivem at any resolution tested, as evidenced by the consistent frame times and lack of severe drops at 4K.

Clock speeds play a significant role in the performance profile. The GPU's base clock is 1330 MHz, with a game clock of 2070 MHz and a boost clock of 2520 MHz. The substantial gap between base and boost clocks—nearly 90%—indicates that the card can aggressively scale its frequency under load, which helps explain the strong 1080p performance. The RDNA 4.0 architecture on a 4 nm process from TSMC, with 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die, provides the underlying efficiency for these clock speeds.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its Fivem performance. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6290 and PassMark G3D score of 25381 place it in the 69th percentile of all GPUs. In the nearest rival comparison, the RX 9070 sits close to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (0.6% ahead), AMD Radeon RX 6800S (0.8% behind), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile (1.1% ahead), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (1.2% behind). These margins are narrow, suggesting that Fivem's performance is not uniquely dependent on any single GPU feature.

The 128 ROPs and 224 TMUs provide solid fill-rate capabilities, with a pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s. These figures support the observed 4K performance, where pixel throughput becomes critical. The 56 ray tracing cores are present, though Fivem's traditional rasterization workload means they likely play a minimal role in these results. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design are consistent with its performance class, though the data does not indicate any thermal throttling behavior at these settings.
