Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Radeon RX 9070 XT combination delivers a strong performance profile in Fivem, but the data reveals a clear performance ceiling. This pairing is capable of high refresh rates, but the balance between CPU and GPU shifts dramatically depending on resolution and settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, indicating a progression from a CPU-bound scenario at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound one at higher settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 260.8 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low reduces this to 168 FPS, a drop of 92.8 FPS. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 95.2 FPS. This scaling pattern is a classic sign of the CPU becoming less of a bottleneck as resolution increases, with the GPU taking on more of the rendering load.

The scaling across resolutions becomes more pronounced at higher settings. With Ultra settings, the average FPS at 1080p is 126.8, which drops to 83.8 at 1440p and then to 44.3 at 4K. The performance penalty for moving to 4K is severe at Ultra settings, as the RX 9070 XT is pushed to its limits. The data suggests that for high-refresh-rate gameplay, 1080p and 1440p are the sensible targets, while 4K will require a compromise on settings to maintain smooth frame rates.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 9070 XT, with its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, provides a 644.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. This is a significant asset, particularly at higher resolutions. The benchmark results show the GPU's raw compute power, with a Passmark G3D score of 26795 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 7260. These figures place the GPU in the 82nd percentile of all GPUs, indicating solid performance.

The GPU's clocks are also notable, with a base clock of 1660 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2970 MHz. The ability to sustain high boost clocks is crucial for maintaining frame rates under load. However, the data indicates that at 4K Ultra, the GPU is the limiting factor, as the average FPS of 44.3 is below the 60 FPS target. The 16 GB VRAM buffer is unlikely to be a constraint in Fivem, but the raw shader throughput, with 4096 shading units, is what determines the performance ceiling at the highest settings.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz are solid for gaming. The benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a Passmark multithread score of 24303. Its single-thread performance is also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2916 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3296. This processor sits in the 84th percentile of all CPUs.

The CPU's role becomes evident when looking at the 1080p Low results. The 260.8 FPS average suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding frames to the GPU at a high rate. However, the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at the same resolution is significant. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 134 FPS, showing that the GPU is still doing most of the work. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are adequate for Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to memory latency. It appears this CPU is not the primary bottleneck until frame rates exceed 260 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the combo's capabilities across a matrix of settings and resolutions.

At 1080p, the combo is exceptionally fast. With Low settings, it averages 260.8 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play on high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings yield 204.5 FPS, still a very high number. High settings drop to 162.9 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a smooth experience. Ultra settings bring the average down to 126.8 FPS, which remains respectable and playable.

At 1440p, the performance scales down but remains strong. Low settings produce 168 FPS, a very good result. Medium settings yield 135 FPS, which is excellent for a 1440p monitor. High settings average 109 FPS, which is still a solid frame rate for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings drop to 83.8 FPS, which is close to the 144Hz refresh rate target but not quite there.

At 4K, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings average 95.2 FPS, which is playable. Medium settings drop to 77 FPS, a noticeable step down. High settings average 59.4 FPS, which is just at the edge of smoothness for a 60Hz display. Ultra settings are the most demanding, resulting in an average of 44.3 FPS, which is not ideal for a fluid experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 468th out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the top 26% of all tested systems. This is a strong result, indicating that the pairing of the Ryzen 7 5700 and RX 9070 XT is well-suited for this game. The high rank reflects the balance of the components, with neither part being a severe bottleneck at the most common settings.

When comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700 outperforms the Intel Core i9-9900K by 0.7% and the Intel Core i7-12700H by 0.8% in average benchmark score. It also leads the Intel Core i7-1370P by 0.8% and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 by 1.2%. These are minor margins, but they show that the CPU is competitive with other high-end options from its era. The GPU, when compared to its nearest rivals, shows a near-tie with the AMD Radeon Pro 575, which is 0.1% faster. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile is 0.2% slower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 575X and RX Vega 64 are 0.5% and 0.6% slower, respectively. These small deltas suggest that the RX 9070 XT's performance is well within the expected range for its class.
