Fivem

Fivem on the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers a spread of frame rates that clearly maps the boundary between CPU and GPU limitation. At 1080p, the system produces extremely high frame rates, with the Low preset hitting 325 FPS average and High still maintaining 210 FPS. These figures indicate that the CPU is the primary driver at this resolution, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly. Moving to 1440p, the averages remain strong—219 FPS on Low and 138 FPS on High—showing that the combination scales well with increased pixel count, though the gap between presets narrows slightly. At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint: the High preset drops to 77 FPS, and Ultra falls to 60 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is steep, with the High preset losing 63% of its average FPS (from 210 to 77), which is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. The RTX 4080’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this game, but the rendering load at 4K Ultra pushes the card to its limits. In contrast, the Low preset at 4K still delivers 122 FPS, indicating that the GPU can handle the resolution when visual effects are reduced, but the Ultra preset’s 60 FPS average suggests that Fivem’s heavier settings require more shading power than the card can sustain at that pixel count.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is substantial across all settings, but the pattern reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 325 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s single-thread ceiling for this game. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces that to 219 FPS, a 33% decrease, while 4K Low further reduces it to 122 FPS, a 44% drop from 1440p. This suggests that even at Low settings, the GPU begins to matter more as resolution climbs, but the CPU still has influence at 1080p. For the High preset, the scaling is more aggressive: 210 FPS at 1080p, 138 FPS at 1440p, and 77 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% and 44% respectively, which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions. The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling: 163 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 60 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is exactly 60 FPS, which is a common threshold for many displays, but it also indicates that the GPU is fully saturated. The Medium preset provides the only complete min/max data: at 1080p, the average is 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS; at 1440p, the average is 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS; at 4K, the average is 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS. These minimums show that even in less demanding scenes, the frame rate remains playable, but the margin tightens as resolution increases. Overall, the data shows that Fivem is highly scalable, but the RTX 4080’s performance ceiling is reached at 4K Ultra, where the 60 FPS average is a hard limit.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of how this system performs across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 325 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the entire dataset. The Medium preset at 1080p delivers 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 302 FPS, showing a tight variance that indicates consistent performance. The High preset at 1080p averages 210 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 163 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 219 FPS, which is still very high and suggests the CPU is not a limiting factor at this resolution. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 173 FPS, with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS, maintaining a similar variance to the 1080p Medium result. The High preset at 1440p averages 138 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 107 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 122 FPS, which is the first instance where the GPU’s workload becomes apparent, as the drop from 1440p Low is 44%. The Medium preset at 4K averages 96 FPS, with a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS, showing that even at 4K, the system can maintain playable frame rates with some headroom. The High preset at 4K averages 77 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 60 FPS, which is the lowest recorded average. The pattern across all resolutions is that the Low preset offers the highest FPS, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra, in that order. The difference between Low and Ultra is significant: at 1080p, the gap is 162 FPS (325 vs 163), at 1440p it is 112 FPS (219 vs 107), and at 4K it is 62 FPS (122 vs 60). This shows that Ultra settings approximately halve the frame rate compared to Low at each resolution, which is a typical trade-off for visual quality.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 plays a central role in this configuration, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The GPU’s boost clock is 2505 MHz, with a base clock of 2205 MHz, and it operates on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node. The memory subsystem includes 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. In Fivem, the GPU’s performance is evident in the scaling of FPS with settings. At 1080p Low, the 325 FPS average suggests that the GPU is not the bottleneck, as the CPU can feed it enough frames. However, at 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly saturated, producing exactly 60 FPS. The GPU’s compute capabilities, measured at 48.74 TFLOPS for FP32, are substantial, but Fivem’s Ultra settings at 4K require more pixel shading than the card can sustain. The GPU’s nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 0.1% lower in average benchmarks, indicating that the 4080 is near the top of its class. The GPU’s 86th percentile rank against all GPUs confirms that it is a high-end part. The VRAM capacity of 16 GB is not a limiting factor in any of the tested configurations, as even the 4K Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, does not show signs of memory pressure. The memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s is sufficient for the game’s texture streaming needs. The GPU’s TDP of 320 W and suggested PSU of 700 W are relevant for system builders, but the measured FPS data indicates that the card performs consistently across all settings, with no thermal throttling implied by the results.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the Low preset provides an exceptionally high 325 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the Medium preset at 263 FPS offers a better balance, with a minimum of 223 FPS that ensures no drops below 200 FPS. The High preset at 210 FPS is also excellent and likely provides a visually richer experience without sacrificing smoothness. The Ultra preset at 163 FPS is still very playable, but the 162 FPS difference between Low and Ultra is noticeable. For 1440p, the Low preset at 219 FPS is the best choice for maximizing frame rate, but the Medium preset at 173 FPS (minimum 147 FPS) is the sweet spot, as it offers a significant visual upgrade while maintaining a high average. The High preset at 138 FPS is also good for 1440p, but the Ultra preset at 107 FPS may be too demanding for some users who prefer higher refresh rates. For 4K, the Low preset at 122 FPS is the only option that exceeds 100 FPS, making it the recommended choice for smooth 4K gameplay. The Medium preset at 96 FPS is still playable, with a minimum of 82 FPS, but the High preset at 77 FPS and Ultra at 60 FPS are best suited for slower-paced content or when visual fidelity is prioritized over frame rate. The data suggests that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across all resolutions, as it provides a consistent balance of visual quality and performance, with the only complete min/max data showing stable frame times. For users with 144Hz displays, the 1440p Medium preset (173 FPS) or 1080p High preset (210 FPS) are the most appropriate choices, as they exceed the refresh rate with headroom to spare. For 4K users, the Low preset is the only way to achieve a frame rate above 120 FPS, which is a significant advantage for fast-paced multiplayer gameplay.
