Fivem

# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 9070

The data presents a clear picture of how this combination handles Fivem across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1080p, the system delivers between 120.6 FPS (Ultra) and 245.1 FPS (Low), while 1440p ranges from 80.4 to 159 FPS, and 4K spans 44.7 to 87.1 FPS. The measured results indicate a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the 4K Ultra figure of 44.7 FPS representing the only sub-60 FPS outcome across the entire measured matrix. This places the combo at rank 591 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, positioning it in the upper third of all tested systems.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 1440p and then to 4K reveals a consistent pattern of performance degradation that is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. Moving from 1080p High (156.8 FPS) to 1440p High (101.1 FPS) represents a 35.5% drop, while the further move to 4K High (58.8 FPS) costs another 41.8%. The Low preset shows similar scaling: 245.1 FPS at 1080p falls to 159 FPS at 1440p (a 35.1% reduction), then to 87.1 FPS at 4K (a 45.2% reduction from 1440p). This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is playing a substantial role in limiting frame rates, as the GPU has headroom to produce very high frame counts.

The scaling behavior changes character at 4K, where the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 42.4 FPS (from 87.1 to 44.7), whereas at 1080p the same preset gap spans 124.5 FPS (from 245.1 to 120.6). This compression of the preset range at higher resolutions indicates that pixel throughput constraints are superseding the settings-driven workload differences. The data shows that 4K Ultra at 44.7 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making 4K High (58.8 FPS) the borderline playable option at that resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 644.6 GB/s bandwidth, which is substantial for a multiplayer title like Fivem. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz and game clock of 2070 MHz, combined with 3584 shading units and 128 ROPs, produce a pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s. These specifications translate into the measured FPS figures, with the GPU showing particular strength at 1080p and 1440p where it can maintain high frame rates across all presets.

The GPU's 36.13 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 16 GB VRAM capacity are more than sufficient for Fivem's demands at any tested setting. The benchmark data shows the RX 9070 achieving a PassMark G3D score of 25381 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6290, placing it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA A2 with a negligible 0.2% advantage and the AMD Radeon HD 7970 with a 0.7% deficit, though these comparisons reflect synthetic benchmarks rather than game-specific results. The GPU's RDNA 4.0 architecture with 56 ray tracing cores and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate ensures modern feature compatibility, though Fivem's actual rendering workload appears to favor raw rasterization throughput.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, with base and boost clocks of 3.70 GHz and 4.60 GHz respectively. This CPU configuration demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance in synthetic tests, achieving a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and a PassMark multithread score of 24303. At 1080p, the CPU's influence is evident in the frame rate ceiling: the 245.1 FPS Low preset result suggests the processor is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at lower graphics loads, but the scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p (a 124.5 FPS difference) indicates that GPU load still matters even at this resolution.

The Ryzen 7 5700's single-thread performance, measured at 901 in 3DMark single-thread and 3296 in PassMark single-thread, is adequate for Fivem's typical server-side processing demands. The 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide sufficient data throughput for multiplayer scenarios with many concurrent entities. Notably, the CPU's 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it slightly above the Intel Core i9-9900K (0.7% faster), the Intel Core i7-12700H (0.8% faster), and the Intel Core i7-1370P (0.8% faster) in average benchmark scores. The measured FPS data suggests that at 1080p, this CPU is not the primary bottleneck, as the system achieves over 120 FPS even at Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Examining the measured rows, the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 193.2 FPS, which is 52.3 FPS below Low but 72.6 FPS above Ultra. The Medium preset at 1440p produces 125.6 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and only 33.4 FPS below Low's 159 FPS. At 4K, Medium maintains 69.6 FPS, which exceeds High's 58.8 FPS by 10.8 FPS and is 24.9 FPS above Ultra's 44.7 FPS. This consistency makes Medium the recommended starting point for most users.

For users prioritizing frame rate above visual fidelity, the Low preset provides the highest measured FPS at every resolution: 245.1 at 1080p, 159 at 1440p, and 87.1 at 4K. Conversely, the Ultra preset should be reserved for those with 1080p displays who value visual quality, as it still achieves 120.6 FPS at that resolution. The High preset occupies an intermediate position, with 156.8 FPS at 1080p, 101.1 FPS at 1440p, and 58.8 FPS at 4K. Given that 4K Ultra is the only sub-60 FPS configuration, users targeting 4K should select Medium or lower, while 1440p and 1080p users have more flexibility across the preset range.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 9070 achieves rank 591 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 67th percentile of all tested systems. This ranking reflects the measured FPS data, which shows the system exceeding 60 FPS in 11 of 12 tested configurations, with only 4K Ultra falling below that threshold. The rank suggests that this combo performs well relative to the broader database, though it does not reach the top tier of systems tested for this game.

The CPU's contribution to this ranking is notable given its 84th percentile standing among all CPUs, while the GPU's 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates the graphics card is slightly below the CPU in relative performance. The synthetic benchmark comparisons show the Ryzen 7 5700 matching or slightly exceeding several Intel rivals within a 1.2% margin, while the RX 9070's nearest GPU rivals are separated by less than 1%. This balance between CPU and GPU performance likely contributes to the combo's competitive positioning in Fivem, where both processor and graphics card loads are significant factors in multiplayer scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset achieves 245.1 FPS, Medium produces 193.2 FPS, High reaches 156.8 FPS, and Ultra maintains 120.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution represents a 50.8% reduction in frame rate, indicating that graphics settings have a substantial impact on performance when resolution is not the limiting factor.

Moving to 2560x1440, the measured FPS figures are 159 for Low, 125.6 for Medium, 101.1 for High, and 80.4 for Ultra. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across presets, ranging from 33.3% for Ultra (120.6 to 80.4) to 35.1% for Low (245.1 to 159). At 3840x2160, the results are 87.1 FPS for Low, 69.6 FPS for Medium, 58.8 FPS for High, and 44.7 FPS for Ultra. The jump from 1440p to 4K causes a 44.4% reduction for Medium (125.6 to 69.6) and a 45.2% reduction for Low (159 to 87.1), while Ultra sees a 44.4% drop (80.4 to 44.7). These figures demonstrate that the system maintains playable frame rates at 4K for all presets except Ultra, and delivers excellent performance at 1080p and 1440p across the entire settings range.
