Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti produces a distinct performance profile in Fivem, where the data reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution but shows clear signs of CPU limitation at lower settings. This combination ranks 525th out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the upper third of all pairings. The measured frame rates across four presets and three resolutions allow a detailed breakdown of where this hardware excels and where it leaves performance on the table.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K exposes the fundamental balance of this pairing. At 1080p with Low settings, the system delivers 233.4 FPS, which drops to 170.8 FPS at 1440p and further to 93.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 60% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU is increasingly becoming the limiting factor as pixel count rises. The scaling is steep and consistent, suggesting that at lower presets, the RTX 3080 Ti is not fully saturated until resolution increases substantially.

Moving to High settings, the pattern shifts. At 1080p the average is 162.3 FPS, at 1440p it falls to 106 FPS, and at 4K it reaches 56.8 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34.7%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 46.4%. This nonlinear scaling indicates that 4K High is where the GPU workload becomes particularly heavy, with the frame rate nearly halving from the 1440p result. The 4K High figure of 56.8 FPS is close to the edge of playability for competitive multiplayer, while the 1440p High result of 106 FPS remains smooth.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic resolution sensitivity. At 1080p, the system manages 128.7 FPS, which drops to 84.5 FPS at 1440p and plummets to 43.7 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result represents only 34% of the 1080p Ultra performance, a severe reduction that makes 4K Ultra impractical for this game with this hardware. The data suggests that the RTX 3080 Ti is being pushed to its limits at 4K Ultra, while the CPU has more headroom at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti brings substantial hardware to this pairing. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s, which is critical for Fivem’s large, detailed environments. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, and its 10240 shading units handle the heavy pixel processing required at higher resolutions.

In benchmark terms, the RTX 3080 Ti scores 26896 in Passmark G3D and 15282 in Passmark GPU Compute, with a percentile ranking of 83 among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 41224 places it just 0.5% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which scores 41441, and 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 at 41610. The GPU’s performance in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is 5077, reflecting strong DirectX 12 capability.

The measured FPS data shows the GPU’s influence most clearly at 4K. At 4K Low, the system reaches 93.3 FPS, but at 4K High it drops to 56.8 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it falls to 43.7 FPS. This spread of nearly 50 FPS between Low and Ultra at 4K indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The 912.4 GB/s bandwidth and 12 GB capacity are sufficient for Fivem’s texture streaming, but the rendering load at 4K Ultra exceeds what this GPU can sustain at high frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its 32 MB of L3 cache helps with game logic and physics calculations common in multiplayer environments. The CPU’s Passmark multithread score of 22458 and single-thread score of 2656 indicate solid all-around performance, though it trails more recent processors.

The CPU’s percentile ranking of 85 among all CPUs places it ahead of most processors, and its average benchmark score of 28631 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-12600 at 28654, a difference of only 0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT scores 28591, which is 0.1% slower, while the AMD EPYC 7203P at 28583 is 0.2% slower. This places the 3700X in a tight cluster of comparable CPUs.

The CPU’s influence on Fivem performance is most apparent at 1080p Low, where the system delivers 233.4 FPS. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate drops to 205.7 FPS, and at 1080p High it reaches 162.3 FPS. The relatively small gap between Low and Medium at 1080p suggests that the CPU is keeping up with the GPU at lower settings. However, the 1080p Ultra result of 128.7 FPS shows that even at this resolution, the GPU workload becomes significant, reducing the overall frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 525th out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the 70.7th percentile of all pairings. This is a strong position, but it reflects the balance between a capable CPU and a high-end GPU that is nearing end-of-life status. The RTX 3080 Ti’s production status is listed as end-of-life, while the Ryzen 7 3700X remains active, indicating a generational mismatch that may affect long-term performance in newer titles.

The ranking suggests that this combination is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, but it is not optimized for 4K Ultra settings. The data shows that the system achieves its best relative performance at 1440p High, where it delivers 106 FPS, and 1080p High at 162.3 FPS. These results align with the combo’s mid-upper tier ranking, as the CPU is not the fastest available but remains competitive, while the GPU is a strong performer that is slightly behind the RTX 3090.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this hardware depend on the target display resolution. For 1080p users, the High preset provides 162.3 FPS, which is smooth for competitive play, while the Ultra preset at 128.7 FPS still offers excellent performance. The Medium preset at 205.7 FPS is the best choice for users prioritizing maximum frame rates, as it stays well above 200 FPS.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 106 FPS, which balances visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 134.9 FPS is better for high-refresh-rate displays, while the Ultra preset at 84.5 FPS remains playable but with a noticeable drop. For 4K users, the Low preset at 93.3 FPS is the only setting that provides a smooth experience, as the High preset at 56.8 FPS is borderline and the Ultra preset at 43.7 FPS is below acceptable thresholds.

The data indicates that the best experience for most users will be at 1440p High, which offers a 106 FPS average while maintaining good visual fidelity. For 1080p, the High preset is recommended for balanced performance, while the Medium preset is preferable for users with 240 Hz displays. At 4K, users should accept the Low preset to maintain frame rates above 90 FPS.
