Fivem

The data for Fivem with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 shows a combination that scales predictably with resolution, but the relationship between settings and performance reveals more than just a straight line. This pairing sits in the 165th spot out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the top 9.2% of all configurations tested for this game. The measurements across three resolutions and four settings tiers provide a clear picture of where the bottlenecks lie and what the user can expect from specific configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 exposes a significant shift in the limiting factor. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 234.7 FPS, which drops to 205.3 FPS at 1440p and further to 128.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 45.2% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at the lowest settings, indicating that the GPU is taking on more of the workload as resolution climbs. The pattern is consistent across all settings tiers, but the magnitude varies considerably.

Looking at High settings, the drop from 197.5 FPS at 1080p to 145.4 FPS at 1440p is a 26.4% decrease, while the further drop to 81.4 FPS at 4K represents a 44.0% reduction from the 1440p figure. The Ultra settings tell a similar story: 171.2 FPS at 1080p, 111 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 64 FPS is exactly half of the 1080p Ultra figure, suggesting that at the highest quality settings, the GPU is being pushed to its limits even with the RTX 5080's substantial compute resources.

The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the primary constraint, especially at lower settings where the GPU has less work to do. The relatively small gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p (234.7 FPS versus 171.2 FPS, a 27.1% difference) suggests that the Ryzen 7 3700X's 8 cores and 16 threads are keeping pace with the GPU's output. At 4K, however, the spread between Low and Ultra widens dramatically (128.5 FPS versus 64 FPS, a 50.2% difference), which points to the GPU becoming the dominant factor at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 165 out of 1792 tested combinations, this pairing sits in the upper echelon of all configurations tested for Fivem. The rank reflects the synergy between the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, and it suggests that while neither component is the absolute top performer in its class, their combination works well for this specific multiplayer title.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 28631 places it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs tested, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i5-12600 (28654, a 0.1% difference) and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (28591, a 0.1% difference). The GPU's average benchmark score of 59188 puts it at the 89th percentile among all GPUs, with the Intel Arc A570M (58239, a 1.6% difference) and Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326, a 1.9% difference) as close competitors. These percentile rankings indicate that both components are strong performers individually, and the combo rank confirms they work well together in this game.

The fact that this combo ranks 165th out of 1792 means it outperforms roughly 90.8% of all tested combinations. This is noteworthy because Fivem is a multiplayer game that often stresses CPU performance due to the large number of entities and players, yet the Ryzen 7 3700X's 8-core, 16-thread configuration appears to handle the load effectively when paired with the RTX 5080's raw graphical power.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 brings 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective), while the base clock is 2295 MHz and the boost clock reaches 2617 MHz. These specifications are relevant to Fivem's performance because the game's open-world environment with many custom assets can be memory-intensive at higher resolutions.

The 16 GB frame buffer is ample for 4K gaming, and the data supports this: at 4K Ultra, the combo still manages 64 FPS, which is playable even at the highest settings. The GPU's 10752 shading units and 112 ROPs provide substantial fill rate (293.1 GPixel/s) and texture rate (879.3 GTexel/s), which explains why the frame rates remain high even at 1440p Ultra (111 FPS) and 4K High (81.4 FPS).

The RTX 5080's FP32 performance of 56.28 TFLOPS is a key factor in the GPU-bound scenarios at 4K. When comparing the 4K Low result (128.5 FPS) to the 4K Ultra result (64 FPS), the difference of 64.5 FPS represents the cost of the additional visual effects and detail levels. The GPU's architecture, Blackwell 2.0 on a 5 nm process with 45,600 million transistors, provides the computational headroom needed to maintain playable frame rates even in the most demanding settings at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which settings offer the best balance between visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080, all settings tiers exceed 170 FPS, making Ultra the obvious choice for users with high-refresh-rate monitors. The jump from High (197.5 FPS) to Ultra (171.2 FPS) costs 26.3 FPS but likely provides noticeable visual improvements.

At 2560x1440, the Medium setting at 181.7 FPS offers a strong balance, while High at 145.4 FPS is also viable for most displays. Ultra at 1440p (111 FPS) remains playable and is recommended for users prioritizing visual fidelity over maximum frame rates. The data shows that Low settings at 1440p (205.3 FPS) are only marginally better than Medium (181.7 FPS), making Medium the better choice given the likely visual benefits.

For 3840x2160, the situation becomes more nuanced. Medium at 102 FPS provides a smooth experience, while High at 81.4 FPS is acceptable for most users. Ultra at 64 FPS is on the edge of what many would consider playable for a multiplayer game, but it remains an option for those with G-SYNC or FreeSync displays. Low at 128.5 FPS is the only 4K setting that exceeds 120 FPS, but the visual trade-offs are significant. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot at 4K, offering 102 FPS while maintaining reasonable quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 234.7 FPS on Low, 216.8 FPS on Medium, 197.5 FPS on High, and 171.2 FPS on Ultra. These figures show a consistent decrease as settings increase, with a total spread of 63.5 FPS between the lowest and highest quality presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop across the board: 205.3 FPS on Low, 181.7 FPS on Medium, 145.4 FPS on High, and 111 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 94.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU is becoming more of a factor at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the results are 128.5 FPS on Low, 102 FPS on Medium, 81.4 FPS on High, and 64 FPS on Ultra. The spread between Low and Ultra is now 64.5 FPS, and the absolute values are significantly lower than at 1080p. The 4K Ultra result of 64 FPS is exactly half of the 1080p Low result of 128.5 FPS, highlighting the substantial performance cost of both higher resolution and higher settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, based on the Zen 2 architecture with the Matisse codename, provides 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This processor, released in 2019, has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus delivering 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The 32 MB of L3 cache is shared across the cores, which helps in multiplayer scenarios where data is frequently accessed.

The CPU's benchmark scores are strong for its generation: 19087 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2694 in single-core, with a PassMark multithread score of 22458. These results place the CPU at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with nearest rivals within 0.2% of its average score. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration is particularly well-suited for Fivem, which often benefits from additional threads for handling player positions, vehicle physics, and scripted events.

In this game, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low (234.7 FPS) and Medium (216.8 FPS), the frame rates are high enough that the CPU must keep up with the GPU's output. The Ryzen 7 3700X's boost clock of 4.40 GHz provides adequate single-thread performance for this task, as evidenced by the 2694 score in Cinebench R23 single-core. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the CPU's influence on frame rates diminishes, as shown by the narrowing gap between settings at higher resolutions.
