Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pairing delivers a stratified performance profile in Fivem, where frame rates scale more aggressively with resolution than with quality presets. Based on the measured rows, this combo ranks 1693rd out of 3005 tested configurations, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. The data indicates a system that is fundamentally GPU-limited at higher resolutions but increasingly CPU-capable at 1080p, where the processor’s cache architecture comes into play.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture using TSMC’s 5 nm process. It carries a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The defining feature here is the 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is substantial for a mainstream desktop chip and directly influences Fivem’s multiplayer workloads, where draw calls and entity updates often stress memory latency. The processor’s PassMark multithread score of 25047 and single-thread score of 3494 indicate balanced throughput, but its percentile rank of 89 versus all CPUs suggests it sits above the majority of tested processors.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role becomes more evident as resolution drops. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 175 FPS average, compared to 64 FPS at 3840x2160 with the same preset. That 111 FPS gap at identical settings is largely attributable to the GPU being overwhelmed at 4K, but the fact that the 1080p Low result exceeds 170 FPS shows the processor is not bottlenecking at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D’s nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scores include the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (0.2% higher score), Intel Core i9-13950HX (0.5% higher), and AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 (0.6% higher), while the Intel Core i5-14600 trails by 0.7%. These deltas are minimal, meaning the CPU’s raw compute is competitive with those parts, but Fivem’s specific workload — often single-thread-heavy in server-side scripting — favors the L3 cache over raw core count.

The 6-core, 12-thread configuration is adequate for Fivem’s typical load, which rarely scales beyond a handful of threads for game logic. The 96 MB L3 cache is the standout specification here, as it reduces memory access penalties when the game streams in new areas or spawns numerous NPCs. The PassMark physics score of 2779 and integer math score of 70774 suggest strong per-core performance, which aligns with the 175 FPS Low preset result at 1080p. However, the data also shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor at higher resolutions; the GPU takes over that role entirely, as evidenced by the steep FPS drop from 1080p to 4K at every preset level.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU built on TSMC’s 12 nm process, featuring 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The card’s PassMark G3D score is 18169, with a percentile rank of 65 versus all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarks include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (1% higher score), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (1.2% higher), Intel Arc B570 (1.3% higher), and Intel Arc A750 (1.5% higher). These small deltas place the RTX 2070 SUPER in a tight performance band, but Fivem’s measured results reveal how that translates to actual gameplay.

The GPU is clearly the dominant bottleneck in this pairing, particularly at 3840x2160. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 31 FPS average, while dropping to Low raises that to 64 FPS — a 33 FPS improvement that underscores the GPU’s struggle with pixel throughput. At 2560x1440, the gap narrows: Low produces 116 FPS, High produces 73 FPS, and Ultra produces 57 FPS. At 1920x1080, the GPU has more headroom, with Low hitting 175 FPS, High at 111 FPS, and Ultra at 86 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Fivem’s texture loads, but the 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is the more critical factor; the game’s open-world environment requires constant streaming, and the data shows that higher presets at 4K push the GPU to its limits, likely due to memory bandwidth saturation rather than raw shader throughput.

The RTX 2070 SUPER’s 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are largely irrelevant for Fivem, which does not utilize ray tracing or DLSS in the measured rows. The FP32 throughput of 9.062 TFLOPS is the more relevant specification, and the measured FPS at 1440p High (73 FPS) suggests the card is delivering roughly half its 1080p High performance when pixel count nearly doubles — a scaling pattern consistent with a GPU that is compute-bound rather than VRAM-bound. The card’s end-of-life status and 215 W TDP are noted in the data, but the measured rows are what matter for this analysis.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured FPS rows provide a clear hierarchy of presets across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 175 FPS average, Medium delivers 138 FPS, High delivers 111 FPS, and Ultra delivers 86 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs 37 FPS, while Medium to High costs 27 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 25 FPS. For competitive play or high-refresh monitors, the Low preset at 1080p is the optimal choice, as it clears the 144 Hz threshold comfortably. However, the Medium preset at 138 FPS still exceeds 120 FPS and offers better visual fidelity, with a minimum of 118 FPS and maximum of 159 FPS recorded, indicating stable frame pacing.

At 2560x1440, the recommended preset is High, which produces 73 FPS average. This is the highest preset that maintains a playable frame rate above 60 FPS at this resolution. The Medium preset at 91 FPS is also viable but sacrifices visual quality for a 18 FPS gain. The Ultra preset at 57 FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold and is not recommended for smooth gameplay. At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS; the best is Low at 64 FPS, which is the only 4K preset above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 51 FPS is borderline, with a minimum of 43 FPS, while High at 40 FPS and Ultra at 31 FPS are not viable for sustained play.

The data suggests that the optimal experience balances preset quality with frame rate targets. For 1080p users, the Medium preset offers the best compromise between visual fidelity and performance, as it stays above 120 FPS. For 1440p users, High is the sweet spot, staying above 70 FPS. For 4K users, Low is the only playable option, and even then, the 64 FPS average will dip in crowded multiplayer scenarios. There is no measured row for 4K High with a minimum FPS, but the 40 FPS average indicates that preset is unsuitable for a game like Fivem, where frame drops in busy areas are common.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1693rd out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 56th percentile of all configurations. That rank is below the midpoint, which is consistent with the RTX 2070 SUPER being an older, end-of-life GPU while the Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a newer, active processor. The rank reflects the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions, but the CPU’s strength is evident in the 1080p results, where the combo outperforms what the GPU’s aggregate benchmark score might suggest.

The combo rank of 1693 out of 3005 means that roughly 56% of tested configurations deliver higher average FPS in Fivem. This is a mid-pack result, but the data shows that the rank is heavily influenced by resolution. At 1080p, the combo’s 175 FPS Low result would likely place it in the top quartile, while at 4K, the 31 FPS Ultra result would drag it down. The GPU’s percentile rank of 65 versus all GPUs is higher than the combo’s overall rank, indicating that the CPU is not the limiting factor in the pairing’s placement. The CPU’s percentile rank of 89 versus all CPUs is notably higher, reinforcing that the GPU holds the combo back in Fivem’s most demanding settings.

The nearest rival GPUs, such as the Intel Arc B570 and Arc A750, have aggregate scores within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER, but their performance in Fivem would depend on driver optimization and VRAM usage. The measured data for this combo shows a clear pattern: the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, while the CPU is sufficient to push high frame rates at 1080p. This imbalance suggests that pairing the Ryzen 5 7500X3D with a stronger GPU would yield a much higher combo rank, but within this specific configuration, the 1693rd position is a fair representation of its mixed capabilities.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a steep scaling curve that clearly identifies the GPU as the limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 175 at 1080p to 116 at 1440p (a 33.7% reduction) and then to 64 at 4K (a 44.8% reduction from 1440p). At High settings, the drop is from 111 at 1080p to 73 at 1440p (34.2% reduction) and then to 40 at 4K (45.2% reduction). At Ultra settings, the drop is from 86 at 1080p to 57 at 1440p (33.7% reduction) and then to 31 at 4K (45.6% reduction).

This pattern — roughly a one-third reduction from 1080p to 1440p and another one-third reduction from 1440p to 4K — is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain relatively flat as resolution increases, because the CPU would be processing the same game logic regardless of pixel count. Instead, the consistent percentage drops indicate that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s rendering throughput is being exhausted as pixel count rises. The 4K results are particularly telling: even at Low settings, the GPU only manages 64 FPS, which is barely above the 60 FPS threshold, while at Ultra it falls to 31 FPS.

The data also shows that the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is likely a contributing factor at 4K, where the larger frame buffer demands more bandwidth. The 8 GB VRAM is not exceeded at these settings, but the bandwidth limitation becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions. The CPU’s role in this scaling is minimal, as evidenced by the 1080p Low result of 175 FPS, which indicates the Ryzen 5 7500X3D is not holding the system back at lower resolutions. The resolution scaling analysis strongly suggests that any performance upgrades for this combo should focus on the GPU, not the CPU.
