Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a fundamentally balanced experience in Fivem, but the data reveals that the graphics card becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, while the CPU holds the frame rate ceiling at lower settings. This pairing sits at rank 1993 out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database, yet the measured FPS shows it is fully capable of smooth multiplayer play at most settings below 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, confirming that the RTX 4060 is the limiting component at higher resolutions. At High settings, average FPS falls from 119 at 1920x1080 to 78 at 2560x1440, a 34% reduction, and then drops again to 44 at 3840x2160, a further 44% decline. This pattern of diminishing returns as pixel count increases is classic GPU-bound behavior, indicating the 4060’s 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory interface are stretched thin by 4K workloads.

Low settings show the most dramatic scaling, with 189 FPS at 1080p collapsing to 124 FPS at 1440p and then to 69 FPS at 4K. The 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is larger than the 63% reduction seen at High settings, which suggests that at Low settings the CPU is capable of feeding frames faster, but the GPU still cannot keep up as resolution climbs. Medium settings follow the same trajectory: 149 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K, with the 1080p-to-4K drop being 64%.

Ultra settings produce the lowest absolute numbers but the smallest relative drop between 1440p and 4K: 61 FPS falls to 34 FPS, a 44% reduction, nearly identical to the High settings decline. The data shows that the RTX 4060’s compute resources — 3072 shading units and 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 — are simply insufficient for maintaining playable 4K frame rates in Fivem, regardless of preset. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is below the threshold for smooth multiplayer gameplay, while 4K Low at 69 FPS is playable but far from the high refresh rates achievable at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 3700X provides a solid foundation for Fivem, with 8 cores and 16 threads running at a 3.60 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost clock. Its benchmark scores place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34260, putting it statistically even with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (0.1% ahead) and the AMD EPYC 4244P (0.1% ahead), while trailing the Intel Core i5-13450HX by 0.2% and leading the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H by 0.5%.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role becomes evident at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 189 FPS, and at 1080p Medium it hits 149 FPS, numbers that exceed what a weaker processor could sustain. The single-thread performance, measured at 2656 in Passmark single-thread and 204 in Cinebench R15 single-core, is adequate for the game’s multiplayer logic, which often relies on a few heavily loaded threads. The 32 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth on DDR4 dual-channel support this workload without obvious starvation.

However, the CPU is not the primary limiter at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings — 189 FPS down to 124 FPS — is a 34% drop, which is larger than the 33% drop from 1440p to 4K (124 to 69 FPS). This suggests that the 3700X can push well beyond 124 FPS if the GPU were faster, but the 4060 caps the output. At Ultra settings, the CPU is even less burdened, as the GPU struggles to maintain 61 FPS at 1440p. The data indicates that for this game, the 3700X is a capable partner that will not bottleneck the 4060 until frame rates approach 190 FPS, which only occurs at 1080p Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 and Ryzen 7 3700X produce high frame rates across all presets. Low settings average 189 FPS, Medium averages 149 FPS with a minimum of 127 and maximum of 171, High averages 119 FPS, and Ultra averages 92 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 51% reduction, showing that the GPU is the main driver of performance differences at this resolution, though even Ultra remains well above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop but remain playable. Low settings average 124 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 and maximum of 113, High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 61 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 34% drop at Low settings, a 34% drop at Medium, a 34% drop at High, and a 34% drop at Ultra, indicating a uniform scaling penalty across presets.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes marginal for high-refresh displays but remains usable for 60 FPS targets at lower settings. Low averages 69 FPS, Medium averages 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 and maximum of 63, High averages 44 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only preset below 40 FPS, and even 4K High struggles to hold 45 FPS, making these settings unsuitable for competitive multiplayer. The 1080p to 4K scaling shows a 63% drop at Low, 64% at Medium, 63% at High, and 63% at Ultra, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck at every preset when resolution is maximized.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the decisive factor in Fivem’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip on a 5 nm process, it features 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Its boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz drive a peak FP32 throughput of 15.11 TFLOPS, which is modest by modern standards but sufficient for this game at 1080p and 1440p.

The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a figure that becomes a constraint at 4K. The measured FPS at 4K High (44 FPS) and 4K Ultra (34 FPS) indicates that the memory subsystem and compute units are overwhelmed by the pixel load. The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its mid-range positioning: it achieves 19545 in Passmark G3D, 95057 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 48643 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its 61st percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 17639 place it just below the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (0.2% difference) and just above the AMD Radeon 780M (0.3% difference), showing it is competitive with older or integrated solutions in raw compute but benefits from modern features.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role is clear: at 1080p, it delivers 92 to 189 FPS depending on settings, at 1440p it delivers 61 to 124 FPS, and at 4K it delivers 34 to 69 FPS. The frame rate gaps between presets at each resolution are consistent, with Ultra costing roughly 30-35% of the Low setting’s performance. The data supports the conclusion that the RTX 4060 is a capable 1080p and 1440p card for Fivem, but its 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus are not designed for 4K Ultra workloads.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing high frame rates, the 1920x1080 Low preset delivers the best experience at 189 FPS, providing the smoothest gameplay with the least GPU load. This is ideal for competitive scenarios where response time matters more than visuals. For a balance of quality and speed at 1080p, High settings at 119 FPS offer excellent smoothness while maintaining better detail than Low, and the 92 FPS Ultra preset is still playable for those who want maximum visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 78 FPS is the recommended choice, as it remains above the 60 FPS threshold while offering substantial visual improvements over Low. The Medium preset at 98 FPS is also viable for players who prefer higher frame rates, though the 83 FPS minimum suggests occasional dips. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS is borderline, with average performance just above 60 FPS but no headroom for demanding scenes.

For 4K displays, the Low preset at 69 FPS is the only setting that provides a consistently smooth experience. The Medium preset at 54 FPS is playable but with noticeable stutter potential, given the 46 FPS minimum. The High preset at 44 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS are not recommended for active multiplayer play, as they fall below the frame rates needed for responsive aiming and movement. The data indicates that players with 4K monitors should either reduce resolution to 1440p or stick to Low settings to maintain acceptable performance. The best overall experience for this combo is 1440p High, which balances the CPU’s 84th percentile capability with the GPU’s 61st percentile output.
