Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER pairing delivers a robust Fivem experience, but the data reveals a clear hierarchy in how performance scales with resolution and settings. This analysis examines the measured FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, focusing on where the CPU and GPU each become the limiting factor. The combination ranks 287th out of 3005 tested configurations in Fivem, placing it in the top tier of systems for this multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a predictable but steep performance decline as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 308 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 203 FPS, a reduction of 105 FPS or roughly 34%. At 4K Low, the average falls to 112 FPS, which is 64% lower than the 1080p Low result. This pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, as the pixel count demands more from the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Medium settings shows a similar trend: 243 FPS down to 160 FPS, a drop of 83 FPS. The 4K Medium result of 89 FPS represents a 63% reduction from the 1080p Medium figure. This consistent percentage drop across presets suggests the GPU is scaling predictably with resolution, and the CPU has enough headroom to keep feeding frames even at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed.

At High settings, the scaling is slightly less severe in percentage terms. The system produces 194 FPS at 1080p, 128 FPS at 1440p, and 71 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 66 FPS (34%), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 57 FPS (45%). This indicates that the High preset is more balanced, with the GPU still being the bottleneck but the CPU contributing more to the overall frame rate than at Low settings where the GPU is heavily loaded.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p, the system manages 151 FPS, but 1440p Ultra drops to 99 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 55 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured in the entire dataset, and the gap between 1440p and 4K at this preset is 44 FPS, a 44% reduction. This suggests that Ultra settings impose a significant GPU load that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER can only partially offset at 4K, making this preset less viable at higher resolutions.

The limiting component shifts clearly with resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates (up to 308 FPS on Low) suggest the CPU is keeping pace, but the GPU is still the primary constraint since even the Ryzen 5 7500X3D's 6 cores and 12 threads can push well beyond 300 FPS in lighter scenes. At 4K, the GPU is unambiguously the bottleneck, with the 71 FPS High result and 55 FPS Ultra result indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated by the increased pixel workload.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, based on the Raphael codename and Zen 4 architecture. It has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with 96 MB of shared L3 cache. This cache configuration is notable for gaming, as the large L3 pool helps reduce memory latency in scenarios where data is repeatedly accessed, which is common in Fivem's multiplayer environments with many entities and scripts.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions where the GPU is less burdened. At 1080p Low, the system hits 308 FPS, which indicates the CPU can feed frames at a very high rate. The single-thread score of 3494 on PassMark's single-thread test is strong, and the multi-thread score of 25047 shows the 12 threads provide adequate throughput for the game's simulation and networking tasks. The CPU's percentile of 89 versus all CPUs places it in the top 11% of processors, which is a strong showing.

The nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H with an average score of 44466, which is 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core i5-14600 with a score of 44889, which is 0.7% higher. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D's average benchmark score is 44573, meaning it sits right between these competitors. In Fivem, this CPU performance translates to smooth frame delivery even at 1440p, where the system still achieves 203 FPS on Low settings.

The 3D V-Cache technology, while not explicitly named in the cache specifications, is implied by the X3D designation and the 96 MB shared L3 cache. This large cache is a key advantage in Fivem, as the game's open-world nature often involves streaming in new assets and processing many player interactions simultaneously. The data supports this: at 1080p Medium, the system maintains 243 FPS, and even at 4K Medium, it stays above 85 FPS, indicating the CPU is not a limiting factor at these settings.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and 5 nm process node contribute to thermal efficiency, which is beneficial for sustained gaming sessions. The dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient memory throughput for the game's data streaming requirements. The PassMark integer math score of 70774 and floating point score of 43594 suggest the CPU handles the arithmetic operations Fivem's physics and scripting systems demand without becoming a bottleneck.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features the AD103 chip. It has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. The GPU's clock speeds are a base of 2340 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). This configuration delivers a FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS, which is substantial for a mainstream enthusiast card.

The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory capacity is critical for Fivem at high resolutions, as the game's detailed textures and draw distances can consume significant VRAM. The measured results show that at 4K Ultra, the system drops to 55 FPS, which suggests the GPU is heavily loaded and possibly memory bandwidth constrained. The High preset at 4K produces 71 FPS, indicating that reducing texture quality and effects eases the GPU load considerably.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score is 31811, with a percentile of 76 versus all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA TITAN RTX with a score of 31676, which is 1.9% lower, and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell with a score of 31532, which is 1.4% lower. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score is 31087, and its Quadro M5000 rival scores 31206, a 0.4% difference. These numbers show the GPU is competitive with high-end workstation cards in raw compute, but its gaming performance is what matters for Fivem.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most apparent at 4K resolution, where the pixel count stresses the shading units. The 4K Low result of 112 FPS shows the GPU can handle the resolution when settings are reduced, but the jump to Medium (89 FPS) and High (71 FPS) demonstrates the cost of additional effects. The Ultra preset at 4K yields 55 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer, indicating this setting is not ideal for 4K gaming on this hardware.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 285 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU requirement are practical considerations for system builders. The triple-slot cooler and 310 mm length mean case compatibility is a factor, but the performance data justifies the physical footprint. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure Fivem can utilize modern rendering features, though the game's engine may not fully exploit all of them.

The 308 FPS Low result shows the CPU can push high frame rates, but the 151 FPS Ultra result suggests the GPU is limiting at higher settings. The system never hits a CPU wall, as the 6-core/12-thread configuration provides enough processing power.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High in Fivem?

A: The Ultra preset is significantly more demanding. At 1080p, Ultra produces 151 FPS versus 194 FPS on High, a 43 FPS difference. At 1440p, the gap widens to 29 FPS (99 vs 128), and at 4K, it narrows to 16 FPS (55 vs 71). The Ultra preset's visual gains may not justify the performance cost at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For players seeking the best experience per the measured rows, the High preset at 1440p is the recommended starting point. This combination delivers 128 FPS, which is smooth on most high-refresh-rate monitors, and the visual quality is high enough to appreciate the game's detail without the performance penalty of Ultra. The 1440p Medium result of 160 FPS is also viable for competitive players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity.

At 1080p, the High preset at 194 FPS is the sweet spot for esports-style play, offering near-maximum frame rates without the visual compromises of Low. The Ultra preset at 1080p (151 FPS) is acceptable, but the 43 FPS loss compared to High is substantial for marginal visual improvements. The Low preset at 308 FPS is only recommended for players with 300 Hz monitors who want to maximize refresh rate at the expense of visuals.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 89 FPS is the only viable option that maintains playable frame rates. The High preset at 71 FPS is borderline, and the Ultra preset at 55 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold. Players with 4K displays should accept Medium settings to achieve a smooth experience, as the visual difference between Medium and High is less impactful than the 18 FPS performance gap.

The Medium preset consistently offers the best balance across all resolutions. At 1080p it delivers 243 FPS, at 1440p it reaches 160 FPS, and at 4K it maintains 89 FPS. This preset includes enough detail to look good while providing headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios. The min FPS data for Medium settings (206 at 1080p, 136 at 1440p, 75 at 4K) confirms this preset has the most stable frame pacing, avoiding the dips that can occur at higher settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers the highest frame rates across all presets. The Low settings produce an average of 308 FPS, which is the fastest result in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 243 FPS with a minimum of 206 FPS and a maximum of 279 FPS, showing excellent frame consistency. High settings reduce the average to 194 FPS, and Ultra settings drop further to 151 FPS. The 1080p results demonstrate the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution, with even the most demanding preset staying well above 140 FPS.
