Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER produces a compelling dataset for Fivem, a multiplayer title that often behaves differently from single-player benchmarks. The measured frames per second (FPS) across resolutions and settings reveals a system that is capable of high refresh rates at standard resolutions but begins to show its architectural limits as pixel count rises. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, contextualizes it against known rivals, and answers the most pressing questions about this specific hardware combination.

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

The most striking observation in the measured data is the performance trajectory from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 233.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, that figure drops to 187.3 FPS, a reduction of approximately 19.8%. The jump to 4K Low yields 103.2 FPS, which represents a 44.9% decline from the 1440p result and a 55.8% drop from the 1080p baseline. This scaling pattern is aggressive, indicating that the rendering load is scaling steeply with pixel count.

The behavior at Ultra settings is even more telling. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 141.3 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it falls to 93.8 FPS (a 33.6% drop), and at 4K Ultra, it plummets to 51.1 FPS (a 45.5% drop from 1440p). The fact that the percentage loss between 1440p and 4K is larger than the loss between 1080p and 1440p suggests that the GPU is being progressively saturated. However, the absolute numbers at 1080p are notably high, which implies that the CPU is not the primary limiter at that resolution.

The data implies that at 1080p and, to a lesser extent, 1440p, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with its 8 cores and 16 threads is sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER. The 4K results, particularly at High (64.2 FPS) and Ultra (51.1 FPS), suggest that the GPU’s compute capabilities are becoming the deciding factor. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 52.1 FPS, whereas at 1080p that same gap is 92.1 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions is a classic indicator of GPU-bound scenarios, where the graphics card’s fill rate and shader throughput dictate the final frame rate.

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

The Ryzen 7 3700X is a Zen 2 architecture part with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a 32 MB L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19087 and a single-core score of 2694. Its Passmark single-thread score is 2656, and its multi-thread score is 22458. These numbers position the CPU in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28631.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU’s role is highlighted by the 1080p Low result of 233.5 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the game’s logic and draw calls are being processed efficiently by the 3700X. The CPU’s nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12600, has an average score of 28654, which is only 0.1% higher. This near-identical synthetic performance implies that in CPU-bound scenarios, the 3700X should perform comparably to that Intel part. However, the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (141.3 FPS) is still well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the CPU is not causing a bottleneck even with higher graphical settings.

The data suggests that the 3700X’s 16 threads are adequate for Fivem’s multiplayer environment, which often involves numerous entities and scripts. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz, while not exceptional by modern standards, is sufficient to maintain playable frame rates. The fact that the 1080p Low score is more than double the 4K Ultra score points to a system where the CPU is rarely the limiting factor, except perhaps in the most demanding single-threaded scenarios that are not fully captured by these averages.

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

Examining the measured FPS rows, the sweet spot for visual fidelity and performance appears to be the High preset. At 1920x1080, High yields 184.6 FPS, which is 32.2 FPS lower than Low but offers significantly better visual quality. At 2560x1440, High provides 119.8 FPS, a figure that is still comfortable for most gaming scenarios. The Medium preset offers a middle ground, with 213.8 FPS at 1080p and 149.4 FPS at 1440p, but the marginal gain over High (29.2 FPS at 1080p) may not justify the visual downgrade.

For 4K users, the choice is more constrained. High settings result in 64.2 FPS, which is playable, while Ultra drops to 51.1 FPS, which may feel less fluid. The Medium preset at 4K (81.7 FPS) provides the best balance, offering a 17.5 FPS improvement over High while maintaining respectable visuals. The data suggests that Ultra settings are generally not worth the performance cost, as the jump from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 43.3 FPS, and at 1440p it costs 26 FPS. Given that the game is a multiplayer title where frame consistency matters, the High preset at 1080p or 1440p, or the Medium preset at 4K, are the most data-supported choices.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER holds a rank of 407 out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the top 22.7% of all systems tested for this game. The ranking is a holistic measure that considers performance across all resolutions and settings, and it suggests that this combo is well above average for Fivem.

The rank is particularly noteworthy given that the CPU is from the older Zen 2 architecture, while the GPU is from the newer Ada Lovelace generation. The fact that this pairing still outperforms 1385 other combinations indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s capabilities are doing the heavy lifting. The GPU’s percentile of 84 versus all GPUs is slightly lower than the CPU’s percentile of 85, but in a multiplayer game like Fivem, the CPU’s thread management is often more critical. The rank of 407 implies that while this is not a top-tier combination (those would be in the top 10%), it is a very solid performer that should handle the game’s demands without major compromises.

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

The data provides a clear matrix of performance. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from a minimum of 141.3 at Ultra to a maximum of 233.5 at Low. The Medium preset achieves 213.8 FPS, and High achieves 184.6 FPS. At 2560x1440, the figures are 93.8 (Ultra), 119.8 (High), 149.4 (Medium), and 187.3 (Low). At 3840x2160, the results are 51.1 (Ultra), 64.2 (High), 81.7 (Medium), and 103.2 (Low).

This breakdown shows a consistent pattern: the difference between Low and Medium is generally smaller than the difference between High and Ultra. For instance, at 1440p, the jump from Low to Medium costs 37.9 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 26 FPS. At 4K, the Low-to-Medium gap is 21.5 FPS, and the High-to-Ultra gap is 13.1 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a disproportionately high rendering cost, likely due to advanced shading and post-processing effects that heavily tax the GPU. The min and max FPS are not provided, so the analysis relies solely on averages, which smooth out any potential frame time spikes.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU has 7168 shading units and 56 RT cores, with a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s. Its FP32 performance is rated at 35.48 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role is most evident at 4K resolution. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures, as the data does not show any abnormal performance collapses that would indicate memory swapping. The boost clock of 2475 MHz allows the GPU to maintain high throughput, which is reflected in the 103.2 FPS at 4K Low. However, the significant drop to 51.1 FPS at 4K Ultra suggests that the GPU’s shader and RT core utilization becomes the bottleneck, as the game likely uses more complex lighting and reflection models at that preset.

The GPU’s synthetic benchmark scores align with its measured gaming performance. Its Passmark G3D score of 29995 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 4627 indicate a strong mid-to-high-range part. The nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, has an average score of 42723, which is 0.3% higher, yet the RTX 4070 SUPER’s measured FPS in Fivem at 1080p High (184.6 FPS) is high enough to suggest that NVIDIA’s driver optimization for this particular game is effective. The data implies that the GPU is the dominant component in this pairing, providing the majority of the performance headroom, especially at higher resolutions where the CPU’s 3.60 GHz base clock becomes less relevant.
