Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT combination delivers a robust Fivem experience across all tested resolutions, with the data indicating a clear preference for High settings at 1440p as the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves an average of 79 FPS, which is substantially above the 62 FPS observed at Ultra, while remaining visually demanding enough to leverage the GPU’s capabilities. The Medium preset at 1440p offers 99 FPS, but the jump to High represents a more meaningful visual upgrade for a smaller performance cost than the step from High to Ultra. At 1080p, High produces 120 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate displays, but the 1440p High configuration provides a sharper image with only a 34% performance penalty, making it the superior choice for most users. The 4K Ultra preset, at 34 FPS, is effectively unplayable, confirming that this combo is not suited for maximum settings at that resolution. Given the data, the optimal experience is unequivocally the High preset at 2560x1440, offering a smooth frame rate with high visual quality.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data strongly suggests that the High preset at 2560x1440 is the sweet spot for this hardware combination. This configuration yields an average of 79 FPS, which is 27% higher than the 62 FPS at Ultra, while the visual difference between High and Ultra is typically less impactful than the performance gap. For users prioritizing frame rate over absolute visual fidelity, the Medium preset at 1440p provides 99 FPS, but this comes at the cost of reduced texture and shadow quality. At 1080p, the High preset achieves 120 FPS, making it ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, yet the 1440p resolution offers a significant increase in pixel density that many players will find preferable. The Low preset at 1440p, at 126 FPS, is only 59% faster than High, indicating that the performance gain from dropping to Low is not worth the severe visual degradation. For 4K displays, the data shows that only the Low preset is viable, with 70 FPS, whereas High drops to 44 FPS and Ultra to an unplayable 34 FPS. Therefore, the recommendation is to prioritize 1440p High as the primary configuration, with 1080p High as a fallback for users who demand the highest possible frame rates.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is the primary driver of Fivem’s performance at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the scaling of FPS from 1080p to 4K. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth, is sufficient for the game’s asset streaming at all tested settings. The core clock behavior, with a base of 2321 MHz and a boost of 2581 MHz, directly influences the frame rates observed; at 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly saturated, producing only 34 FPS. The benchmark results place the GPU in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27425, placing it in close competition with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which scores 27565 (a 0.5% advantage for the NVIDIA card). This context explains the 4K performance: the RX 6700 XT is a capable 1440p card, but at 4K, the 34 FPS at Ultra and 44 FPS at High indicate that the GPU’s 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the limiting factor. The 40 ray tracing cores and 2560 shading units are present, but Fivem’s workload appears to scale more with raw rasterization throughput, as seen in the steep drop from High to Ultra at 4K (44 to 34 FPS). The GPU’s performance at 1080p, where it reaches 191 FPS on Low, shows that the card has ample headroom when the CPU is not the bottleneck, but at 4K, it is firmly GPU-bound.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides a solid foundation for Fivem, particularly at 1080p where the game is often CPU-limited in multiplayer scenarios. The CPU’s base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz are adequate for maintaining high frame rates, as evidenced by the 191 FPS at 1080p Low. In this configuration, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the GPU is not stressed at that resolution and setting. The CPU’s benchmark scores, such as 20655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2916 in single-core, place it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rival, the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, scores nearly identically at 25530, a delta of -0.1%, indicating that the Ryzen 7 5700 is a mid-pack performer in synthetic tests. For Fivem, the 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are relevant, as the game’s open-world multiplayer nature demands consistent thread scheduling and memory bandwidth. The data shows that at 1440p High, the FPS drops to 79, which is a 34% reduction from 1080p High (120 FPS), suggesting that the GPU is becoming more of a factor, but the CPU’s single-thread performance (901 in 3DMark single-thread) still plays a role in maintaining minimum frame rates, which are not recorded for most settings. Overall, the CPU is well-matched to the GPU, avoiding a severe bottleneck at 1440p, but at 1080p, users may see CPU limitations in crowded areas, as the game is known to be CPU-intensive in multiplayer.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound curve, but with notable CPU influence at the lower end. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 120 FPS; at 1440p High, it drops to 79 FPS, a 34% reduction. Moving to 4K High, the FPS falls to 44, a 44% reduction from 1440p. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU is increasingly the bottleneck as resolution rises. The 1080p to 1440p drop is less severe than the 1440p to 4K drop, confirming that the GPU’s 12 GB memory and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1440p but struggle with the 4K pixel count. At Low settings, the pattern is similar: 191 FPS at 1080p, 126 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 70 FPS at 4K (44% drop from 1440p). This consistent percentage drop across settings suggests that the resolution scaling is primarily a function of GPU pixel throughput, with the CPU’s role diminishing as resolution increases. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is 61% lower than 1080p Ultra’s 93 FPS, showing that Ultra settings exacerbate the resolution penalty due to increased shading and texture work. The data indicates that 1080p is CPU-limited (as the GPU can push 191 FPS on Low), 1440p is balanced, and 4K is firmly GPU-limited. For users, this means that upgrading the GPU would yield the largest gains at 4K, while a CPU upgrade would be more beneficial for 1080p high-refresh-rate play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates its highest performance ceiling. Low settings produce an average of 191 FPS, which is the highest recorded value across all configurations. Medium settings yield 151 FPS, with a minimum of 128 and maximum of 173, indicating good frame pacing. High settings drop to 120 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 93 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 51% performance reduction, highlighting the cost of high-quality shadows and textures. At 2560x1440, the performance is more moderate: Low averages 126 FPS, Medium 99 FPS (min 84, max 114), High 79 FPS, and Ultra 62 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 51%, identical to the 1080p scaling, confirming that the GPU’s relative load scales uniformly with settings. At 3840x2160, the results are more constrained: Low averages 70 FPS, Medium 55 FPS (min 47, max 63), High 44 FPS, and Ultra 34 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is 51% lower than 1080p Ultra, which is directly attributable to the 4x pixel count increase. The Medium preset at 4K is the only setting with recorded minimum and maximum values, showing a 16 FPS variance, which is acceptable for a demanding resolution. The absence of min/max data for most settings indicates that the measurement methodology only captured those values for the Medium preset across all resolutions, but the averages provide a clear picture of the performance hierarchy.
