Fivem

Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER presents a dataset that reveals a system with substantial headroom, particularly at lower resolutions. The measured frame rates across the 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolution points show how the balance of CPU and GPU load shifts as pixel count increases. This analysis walks through the resolution scaling, the role of the processor, and what the numbers mean for actual gameplay settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K is the clearest indicator of where this combo's bottleneck lies. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces an average of 235.8 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low preset drops that to 202.6 FPS, a reduction of roughly 14%. The step to 3840x2160 at Low yields 112.4 FPS, which is a 44% decline from the 1440p figure. This pattern is consistent across all settings presets, with the most dramatic scaling occurring between 1440p and 4K.

The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 3700X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, delivers a 235.8 FPS average on Low, but the GPU is not being fully utilized at that point. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is capable of far higher output, as evidenced by the fact that the 1440p Low result of 202.6 FPS is only 14% lower than the 1080p figure. If the GPU were the sole constraint, the drop from 1080p to 1440p would be closer to 30-40% given the pixel count increase of 78%. The relatively small drop indicates the CPU is holding the frame rate back at 1080p.

At 4K, the situation reverses. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 yields 51.6 FPS, while the High preset produces 68.6 FPS. The gap between Low (112.4 FPS) and Ultra (51.6 FPS) at 4K is 54%, demonstrating that the GPU is now the dominant constraint. The pixel count at 4K is 2.25 times that of 1440p, and the frame rate scaling reflects this GPU-bound regime. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed heavily at this resolution with higher quality settings.

The intermediate step from 1440p to 4K at High settings shows a drop from 128.7 FPS to 68.6 FPS, a 47% reduction. This is a more aggressive scaling than the 1080p to 1440p transition, confirming that the system moves from a CPU-limited state at lower resolutions to a GPU-limited state at higher ones. For users targeting high refresh rate monitors at 1080p or 1440p, the CPU will be the ceiling; for 4K gaming, the GPU is the definitive factor.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, and it carries 32 MB of L3 cache. In the context of Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework, the CPU's role is significant because the game's logic and player interactions often scale with core count and thread scheduling.

The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low, the system hits 235.8 FPS, but this does not increase substantially when moving to Medium (215.9 FPS) or High (191.4 FPS) presets. The fact that Low and Medium are separated by only 20 FPS at 1080p suggests that the CPU is the limiting factor, as GPU load increases with quality settings but frame rate does not scale proportionally. The processor's 16 threads are likely being utilized for the multiplayer server-side calculations, which can be demanding in Fivem's client-server model.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the CPU's average benchmark score of 28631 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-12600 (28654, delta -0.1%) and the Intel Core i5-12600H (28666, delta -0.1%). This means the 3700X is a very balanced mid-range performer, but not a top-tier chip for extreme high-refresh-rate scenarios. The Passmark multithread score of 22458 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19087 reflect solid multi-threaded capability, but the single-core score of 2694 is more modest, which can be a limiting factor for games like Fivem that may rely heavily on single-thread performance for frame pacing.

The data suggests that the CPU's 8 cores are adequate for Fivem's typical load, but the 4.40 GHz boost clock is not exceptionally high by modern standards. This is why the 1080p frame rates plateau around 235 FPS on Low; the processor simply cannot feed the GPU faster than that. At 4K, however, the CPU is no longer the constraint, as the GPU's rendering load becomes the dominant factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 3700X and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 314 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 17.5% of all configurations. This is a strong overall position, but it is important to contextualize it with the resolution scaling data. The rank reflects the average performance across all resolutions and settings, meaning the combo's high 1080p frame rates are weighed against its more moderate 4K results.

Given that the GPU is in the 86th percentile of all GPUs and the CPU is in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, the combo's rank is slightly lower than either component's individual percentile. This suggests that the pairing is not perfectly balanced for Fivem; the CPU is holding back the GPU at lower resolutions, preventing the combo from achieving a higher rank. A stronger CPU would likely push the 1080p and 1440p numbers higher, potentially improving the rank.

The rank of 314 out of 1792 is respectable, but it is not exceptional. The delta between the CPU and its nearest rivals is minimal (within 0.2%), so the choice of CPU is not the primary differentiator in this ranking. Instead, the GPU's performance at 4K is what defines the combo's position. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 86th percentile ranking is the stronger asset, but the CPU's 85th percentile is close enough that neither component is a clear weak link in absolute terms.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends entirely on the target resolution and refresh rate. For users with a 1080p 240Hz monitor, the Low preset at 235.8 FPS is the only way to reach near-maximum refresh rates. The Medium preset at 215.9 FPS is also viable and offers better visual quality with only a 20 FPS penalty. The High preset at 191.4 FPS is a reasonable compromise for those with a 144Hz display, as it stays comfortably above that threshold.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 128.7 FPS, which is ideal for a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor. The Medium preset at 158 FPS provides even more headroom, but the visual quality difference between Medium and High is often significant in Fivem's environment. The Ultra preset at 99 FPS is still playable on a 100Hz display, but the drop from High to Ultra is 30 FPS, which is substantial. For 1440p, High is the recommended sweet spot, balancing quality and frame rate.

For 4K gaming, the data shows that the Ultra preset at 51.6 FPS is below the 60 FPS standard, making it a poor choice for most players. The High preset at 68.6 FPS is marginally above 60 FPS and offers a much better experience. The Medium preset at 87.8 FPS is the best option for 4K, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining acceptable visual fidelity. The Low preset at 112.4 FPS is unnecessary for 4K, as the visual degradation is not worth the frame rate increase when Medium is already well above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are as follows: Low settings produce 235.8 FPS, Medium produces 215.9 FPS, High produces 191.4 FPS, and Ultra produces 148.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 37% reduction, but the most significant single-step drop is from High to Ultra, which loses 43 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that are disproportionately expensive at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 202.6 FPS, Medium at 158 FPS, High at 128.7 FPS, and Ultra at 99 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 44.6 FPS, and from Medium to High is another 29.3 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only one that falls below 100 FPS, making it a less attractive option for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at each setting shows a reduction of 14% for Low, 27% for Medium, 33% for High, and 33% for Ultra, indicating that the GPU becomes more of a factor as settings increase.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 112.4 FPS, Medium at 87.8 FPS, High at 68.6 FPS, and Ultra at 51.6 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: Low drops by 44%, Medium by 44%, High by 47%, and Ultra by 48%. This uniform scaling pattern confirms that the GPU is the sole constraint at 4K, as the frame rate reductions closely track the pixel count increase. The Ultra preset at 51.6 FPS is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below 60 FPS, highlighting the GPU's limits at maximum quality in 4K.
