Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title where performance depends heavily on both the CPU's ability to manage a busy game world and the GPU's raw rendering power. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT combination delivers a wide range of frame rates, from very high at 1080p to playable but constrained at 4K. The benchmark results show a system that can handle high refresh rates at lower resolutions, but the data also reveals a significant performance ceiling when the resolution is pushed to its maximum.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 2 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This configuration provides a strong foundation for handling the multiple tasks required by a game like Fivem, which often involves significant background processing and complex player interactions. The CPU’s 32 MB of L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close at hand, which can reduce latency in a fast-paced environment.

In the context of this game's measured results, the CPU appears to be a capable partner, but not the primary force driving the highest frame rates. The processor’s benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19087 and a single-core score of 2694, indicate solid multi-threaded performance. This is relevant because Fivem's multiplayer nature often benefits from having multiple threads available to handle the game simulation and network traffic. However, the data from the resolution scaling suggests that the CPU is sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but its influence becomes less of a bottleneck as the resolution increases and the GPU load grows.

Comparing the 3700X to its nearest rivals in the database shows it is in a tight competitive group. It scores within 0.2% of the AMD EPYC 7203P and AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, and is just 0.1% behind the Intel Core i5-12600 and Intel Core i5-12600H. This places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs tested, meaning it outperforms the majority of processors in the database. For Fivem, this means the CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor at 1080p, allowing the GPU to stretch its legs, but the performance headroom is not infinite.

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

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a high-end graphics card based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture. It features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card has a base clock of 1825 MHz and a boost clock of 2250 MHz, with a game clock of 2015 MHz. This hardware configuration is clearly designed for high-resolution gaming, and the benchmark results confirm this. With 4608 shading units and 72 ray accelerators, the GPU has substantial compute power, reflected in its FP32 rating of 20.74 TFLOPS.

The GPU’s role in this pairing is to deliver the frame rates, and the data shows it does so effectively at 1080p and 1440p. However, at 4K, the load becomes demanding, and the frame rates drop considerably. The card’s 16 GB of VRAM is a significant asset, ensuring that memory capacity is not a bottleneck even at the highest settings and resolution. The GPU sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 49982 is competitive. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, which it leads by 2.6%, and the Intel Arc A550M, which it trails by 0.5%. This indicates the 6800 XT is a powerful card, but its performance in Fivem at 4K is still heavily taxed.

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

The measured FPS data clearly shows how the system’s performance scales with resolution. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 234.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 159.7 FPS, and at 4K Low, it falls to 89.8 FPS. This is a substantial decline, with 4K performance being only about 38% of the 1080p performance at Low settings. The pattern is similar at High settings, where the frame rate goes from 150.7 FPS at 1080p to 98.1 FPS at 1440p, and then to 56.4 FPS at 4K.

This scaling pattern reveals that the limiting component shifts as resolution changes. At 1080p, the high frame rates suggest the system is likely more CPU-bound, as the GPU has enough headroom to render frames quickly, but the CPU may not be able to issue draw calls fast enough to push beyond 234 FPS. As the resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. The pixel count increases significantly, and the RX 6800 XT’s rendering workload grows, causing the frame rate to drop. The fact that the frame rate at 4K High is 56.4 FPS, while at 1080p High it is 150.7 FPS, indicates a 62.6% reduction, which is a classic sign of a GPU-limited scenario at higher resolutions. The data suggests that for high-refresh-rate gaming, 1080p is the sweet spot, while 4K is more suited for a 60 FPS target, especially with adjusted settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The benchmark provides a comprehensive set of average FPS figures for different resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the system performs exceptionally well. With Low settings, it averages 234.2 FPS. Moving to Medium settings, the average is 188.6 FPS. High settings yield 150.7 FPS, and Ultra settings bring the average down to 118 FPS. This shows that at 1080p, even with Ultra settings, the system easily exceeds 100 FPS, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but decreases as expected. Low settings produce an average of 159.7 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings average 127.9 FPS, and High settings drop to 98.1 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p result in an average of 78.9 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1440p is a good balance for this combo, allowing for smooth gameplay at high settings, with Ultra settings still being playable.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to struggle to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 89.8 FPS, which is playable. Medium settings drop to 71.9 FPS, and High settings average 56.4 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K are the most demanding, with an average of just 42.1 FPS. The data shows a clear trend: the higher the resolution, the more significant the performance hit, particularly at the higher preset levels. For 4K gaming, users may need to compromise on settings to achieve a stable 60 FPS.
