Fivem

AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 produce a wide spread of frame rates in Fivem, scaling from 60 FPS at 4K Ultra to 333 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination is well-balanced for the multiplayer title, though the data reveals specific bottlenecks depending on resolution and preset.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 9000 series, built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) using a 4 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor includes 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, delivering 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Fivem, the CPU’s impact is most visible at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 333 FPS, which is 58% higher than the 210 FPS at 1080p High. This delta suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is feeding frames at a rate that far exceeds what the GPU needs to render, indicating headroom in the processor’s single-thread performance. The 9600X’s boost clock of 5.40 GHz is a key contributor here, as Fivem’s multiplayer environments often rely on single-threaded game logic.

The 3DMark single-thread score for this CPU is 1253, which places it in the 81st percentile among all CPUs. Its 3DMark 2-thread score of 2456 and 4-thread score of 4649 show strong scaling in lightly threaded workloads, which aligns with Fivem’s typical CPU usage patterns. The passmark single-thread score of 4570 reinforces this strength. When moving from 1080p Low to 1080p Medium, the FPS drops to 263, and at 1080p High it falls to 210. This indicates that while the CPU can push very high frame rates, the GPU begins to take on more work as settings increase, and the CPU is not the limiting factor at 1080p.

At 1440p, the pattern continues. Low settings produce 219 FPS, Medium 173 FPS, and High 138 FPS. The drop from Low to High is 37%, which is less severe than the 1080p drop of 37% as well, but the absolute numbers remain high. The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities, shown by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17528.5 and a Geekbench multicore score of 14438, ensure that even with many players or complex scripts, the processor does not become a bottleneck. The 9600X’s nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at +0.2% and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H at -0.5%, indicating it sits in a competitive performance tier.

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

The measured rows show four settings presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—across three resolutions. The goal is to find the preset that delivers the best balance of smoothness and visual fidelity, without referencing any cost or value. The data shows that Medium settings provide the most consistent experience, with measured minimum and maximum FPS values at every resolution.

At 1080p, Medium yields an average of 263 FPS, with a minimum of 223 and a maximum of 302. This is a tight range, indicating stable frame pacing. High at 1080p averages 210 FPS, which is still smooth, but the lack of measured min/max data makes it harder to assess stability. Ultra at 1080p drops to 163 FPS, which is playable but represents a 38% reduction from Medium. Low at 1080p hits 333 FPS, but the visual quality is likely too compromised for most users.

At 1440p, Medium again stands out. It averages 173 FPS, with a minimum of 147 and a maximum of 199. High averages 138 FPS, and Ultra drops to 107 FPS. Low reaches 219 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p offers a frame rate that is 25% higher than High and 62% higher than Ultra, while still providing moderate visual enhancements over Low. The measured min of 147 FPS ensures that even in busy scenes, the frame rate stays well above 60 FPS.

At 4K, Medium is the only preset with measured min/max data, showing an average of 96 FPS, a minimum of 82, and a maximum of 110. High averages 77 FPS, and Ultra drops to 60 FPS, which is the threshold for smooth play but leaves no headroom. Low at 4K averages 122 FPS, but again, the visual trade-off is substantial. The data suggests that Medium settings are the best choice across all resolutions, as they provide the highest average FPS with documented stability, while High and Ultra offer diminishing returns in frame rate for increased visual load.

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

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 333 at 1080p to 219 at 1440p and 122 at 4K. This is a drop of 34% from 1080p to 1440p and 44% from 1440p to 4K. The steep decline at 4K indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiter, as the RTX 4080 must render four times the pixels of 1080p.

At Medium settings, the progression is 263 FPS at 1080p, 173 FPS at 1440p, and 96 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% and 45%, respectively. This shows that even with moderate settings, the GPU workload scales heavily with resolution. The RTX 4080’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the rendering load still cuts frame rates significantly.

At High settings, the FPS values are 210 at 1080p, 138 at 1440p, and 77 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 44%. At Ultra settings, the values are 163 at 1080p, 107 at 1440p, and 60 at 4K, with drops of 34% and 44% respectively. The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings is notable. It suggests that the limiting component at higher resolutions is the GPU, as the CPU’s performance headroom, evidenced by high 1080p frame rates, does not translate to higher 4K FPS.

The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of pushing frame rates above 300 FPS on Low settings, but the GPU cannot keep up as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the 60 FPS average is exactly the minimum for smooth play, but the lack of measured min/max data means stability is uncertain. The scaling pattern points to the RTX 4080 being the bottleneck at 4K, while the Ryzen 5 9600X provides ample processing power at lower resolutions.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD103 chip, using a 5 nm process. It has 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units, alongside 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz, with memory running at 1400 MHz (22.4 Gbps effective). It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as settings and resolution increase. At 1080p Low, the GPU is not heavily taxed, allowing the CPU to push 333 FPS. As settings rise to Medium, the GPU begins to render more effects, and the FPS drops to 263. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is fully utilized, producing an average of 60 FPS. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for Fivem’s textures and assets, as the game does not appear to exceed this limit based on the FPS data.

The RTX 4080’s passmark G3D score is 34457, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 6567. These benchmarks indicate strong rasterization performance, which aligns with the FPS results. The GPU’s nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, has an average score of 54209, which is 0.1% lower than the RTX 4080’s 54247. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% lower, and the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is 2.6% lower. This places the RTX 4080 in a competitive position, though the data shows that at 4K Ultra, it still only manages 60 FPS, suggesting that Fivem’s optimization may limit GPU utilization.

The boost clock of 2505 MHz and the high texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s contribute to the GPU’s ability to handle 4K resolution. However, the FPS drop from 122 at 4K Low to 60 at 4K Ultra (a 51% reduction) shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution. The pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s is sufficient for 4K, but the additional shading load from Ultra settings halves the frame rate.
