Fivem

Fivem with an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 shows a performance profile that shifts significantly depending on resolution and settings. The measured data covers 1080p, 1440p, and 4K across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets, providing a complete picture of how this combo behaves. This analysis walks through the FPS scaling, relative ranking, and the specific roles of the CPU and GPU in producing these results.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and reveals a system that becomes GPU-bound at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 216.1 at 1920x1080 to 142.6 at 2560x1440, and then to 76.9 at 3840x2160. That is a 33.9% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 46.1% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling suggests that at 1080p Low, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the frame rate is extremely high, but the GPU begins to take over as pixel count increases.

For High settings, the trend is similar but less dramatic in percentage terms. The average FPS at 1080p is 136, dropping to 87.1 at 1440p and 51.7 at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop is 35.9%, while the 1440p to 4K drop is 40.6%. This indicates that at High settings, the GPU is already a significant constraint at 1440p, and the 4K result of 51.7 FPS shows the RTX 3070 is nearing its limits for this game. The gap between Low and High at 4K is 25.2 FPS, which is smaller than the 80.1 FPS gap at 1080p, further confirming that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Ultra settings show the most pronounced scaling issues. At 1080p, the average FPS is 102.4, which is playable but not exceptionally smooth. At 1440p, it drops to 67.2, and at 4K, it falls to 39.6. The 4K Ultra result is below the 40 FPS threshold, indicating that this combo cannot maintain a fluid experience at the highest preset on a 4K display. The data shows that each step up in resolution at Ultra settings costs roughly 35 FPS, which is a consistent and predictable degradation.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall database of tested combinations, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 826 out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places it in the middle of the pack, which is notable given the individual component specs. The RTX 3070 has a percentile rank of 72 against all GPUs, and the Ryzen 5 9600X has a percentile rank of 85 against all CPUs. Yet, the combo’s rank in this specific game is not at the top, suggesting that Fivem’s performance is influenced by factors beyond raw component power, such as server-side code or game optimization.

The ranking means that while this combo is better than roughly 54% of all tested configurations, it is also behind a significant number of others. For context, the CPU’s average benchmark score of 28246 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with the Intel Core i5-13490F scoring 28173 (0.3% slower) and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scoring 28369 (0.4% faster). The GPU’s average score of 28238 is similarly close to its rivals, with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT at 27985 (0.9% slower) and the AMD FirePro S7150 at 28409 (0.6% faster). These small deltas indicate that this combo is well-matched in terms of component balance, but the game itself may not fully utilize both parts to their maximum potential.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification for a sandbox game, the CPU’s role is critical for handling game logic, physics, and the actions of other players. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 216.1 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s ceiling for this scenario. The single-threaded performance is strong, as evidenced by a 3dmark single-thread score of 1253 and a cinebench r23 single-core score of 3603.

However, the scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop of 113.7 FPS, which is more than half. This indicates that as settings increase, the GPU becomes the limiting factor even at 1080p. The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities, such as a cinebench r23 multicore score of 25525, are more than sufficient for this game. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 7585 and max-thread score of 7590 are nearly identical, suggesting that the CPU does not benefit from more than 12 threads in most workloads. For Fivem, the key is the high boost clock of 5.40 GHz, which helps maintain high frame rates in CPU-intensive scenarios, but the data shows that the GPU’s workload dominates at higher settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1440p High settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 2560x1440 with High settings is 87.1.

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K Ultra compared to 1080p Ultra?

A: At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 39.6, while at 1080p Ultra it is 102.4. This represents a 61.3% reduction in frame rate.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the bottleneck at 1080p Low?

A: At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 216.1, which is very high. The CPU’s single-thread score of 1253 and boost clock of 5.40 GHz suggest it is handling the load well, but the GPU’s workload is minimal at Low settings, so the CPU is likely the primary limiter here.

Q: What is the combo’s rank among all tested configurations for Fivem?

A: The combo ranks 826 out of 1792 tested combos.

Q: Does the CPU have integrated graphics?

A: Yes, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X includes Radeon Graphics as an integrated GPU.

Q: What is the GPU’s memory size and bandwidth?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture with 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. It has a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is a key factor for high-resolution textures. In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes dominant as resolution and settings increase. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 39.6, which is below the typical playable threshold. At 1440p High, the FPS is 87.1, which is smoother, but still shows the GPU working hard.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its mid-range positioning. The passmark g3d score is 22214, and the 3dmark steel nomad dx12 score is 3162. The geekbench opencl score is 123479, and the vulkan score is 120664. These numbers place the RTX 3070 in the 72nd percentile against all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT has a 0.9% higher average score, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti has a 1% higher score. This indicates that the RTX 3070 is competitive with these older or lower-tier cards, but it is not a top-tier performer. In Fivem, the 8 GB VRAM may be sufficient for most scenes, but the data suggests that the GPU’s raw compute power is the limiting factor at 4K Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear path for optimal settings based on resolution. For 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with the Low preset hitting 216.1 FPS and the Medium preset at 167.9 FPS. The High preset at 136 FPS is a good balance for smooth gameplay, while Ultra at 102.4 FPS is still acceptable for most users. For competitive play, the Low preset offers the highest frame rate, but the Medium or High presets provide a better visual experience without sacrificing too much performance.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 142.6 FPS, which is excellent for fast-paced gameplay. The Medium preset at 113.2 FPS is also strong, and the High preset at 87.1 FPS remains fluid. The Ultra preset at 67.2 FPS is playable but may feel less responsive in crowded multiplayer scenarios. For a balanced experience at 1440p, the Medium or High presets are recommended, as they offer a significant visual upgrade over Low with only a moderate FPS hit.

At 3840x2160, the options are more limited. The Low preset at 76.9 FPS is the only one that provides a consistently smooth experience. The Medium preset at 58.3 FPS is borderline, and the High preset at 51.7 FPS is playable but not ideal for fast action. The Ultra preset at 39.6 FPS is below the 40 FPS threshold and should be avoided for gameplay. For 4K users, the Low preset is the safest choice, while Medium is acceptable if visual fidelity is prioritized over frame rate. The data shows that this combo is not well-suited for 4K Ultra settings in Fivem.
