Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that transforms Grand Theft Auto V into a role-playing and custom-server experience, and its performance profile is distinct from typical single-player benchmarks. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination produces a wide range of frame rates depending on resolution and settings, from a low of 66 FPS at 4K Ultra to a high of 290 FPS at 1080p Low. This data set, measured directly, reveals a system that is heavily influenced by game settings, with the CPU and GPU trading off as the primary bottleneck depending on the configuration. The following analysis breaks down exactly how these components behave in this specific title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and clearly demonstrates the GPU becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 232 at 1920x1080 to 153 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 34.1%. Moving further to 3840x2160, the average FPS drops to 85, which is a further 44.4% decline from the 1440p result. This steep and consistent downward trend as pixel count increases is classic evidence of GPU-bound performance; the RTX 4090 is working progressively harder to fill those additional pixels.

The scaling pattern changes when we look at lower settings. At Low settings, the frame rate at 1080p is 290 FPS, but at 1440p it is 242 FPS, a 16.6% drop, and at 4K it falls to 135 FPS, a 44.2% drop from 1440p. The 1080p to 1440p drop is much smaller than the 1440p to 4K drop, suggesting that at 1080p Low, the CPU is starting to become a more significant factor, preventing the GPU from reaching even higher frame rates. At 4K Low, the GPU workload becomes dominant again, as the resolution demands outweigh the CPU's ability to feed frames.

The Medium settings data provides a similar story. From 1080p Medium (266 FPS) to 1440p Medium (191 FPS), the drop is 28.2%, and then from 1440p to 4K Medium (106 FPS), the drop is 44.5%. The consistency of the 4K penalty across all settings points to a hard limit imposed by the GPU's rendering throughput at that resolution. The RTX 4090 is powerful, but the pixel count at 3840x2160 is demanding, and the data shows that even this flagship GPU sees a significant performance ceiling in Fivem at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, a configuration that is generally well-suited for modern gaming. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz and its boost clock reaches 4.60 GHz. In Fivem, a multiplayer environment with many players and dynamic entities, these threads are often utilized for game logic, network processing, and physics simulation. The data suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU's role becomes more prominent.

Evidence for the CPU's influence appears when comparing the 1080p Low and 1080p High settings. The average FPS at Low is 290, while at High it is 232. This 20% reduction in frame rate is not simply a GPU load increase; it indicates that the CPU is struggling to keep pace with the higher draw call and simulation demands at lower GPU loads. The 1080p Low result of 290 FPS, while high, is not proportionally higher than the 1440p Low result of 242 FPS, suggesting the CPU is nearing its limit in feeding frames at that setting.

The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce its capability. In the 3dMark test with 16 threads, it scores 6628, and in the single-thread test, it scores 901. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 20655, and the single-core score is 2916. These results place it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H and Intel Xeon D-2752TER, have nearly identical average scores, showing the Ryzen 7 5700 is a solid mid-range performer. In Fivem, this translates to a CPU that can maintain high frame rates at 1080p but becomes a secondary bottleneck when paired with a GPU as fast as the RTX 4090.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are as follows: Low settings yield 290 FPS, Medium settings yield 266 FPS, High settings yield 232 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 180 FPS. The Medium preset has a measured minimum of 226 FPS and a maximum of 306 FPS, illustrating the variance in frame delivery even at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates are: Low at 242 FPS, Medium at 191 FPS, High at 153 FPS, and Ultra at 119 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution shows a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 220 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant, but the system remains highly playable, with even the Ultra preset staying above 100 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low at 135 FPS, Medium at 106 FPS, High at 85 FPS, and Ultra at 66 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K has a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS. This is the first resolution where the Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, hitting an average of 66 FPS. The data clearly shows that 4K is a challenging environment for this title, and that the RTX 4090, while powerful, cannot maintain high refresh rates at maximum settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its performance characteristics are crucial to understanding the Fivem results. It is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, providing a massive memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. Its boost clock is 2520 MHz, and it has 16384 shading units. These specifications make it an exceptionally powerful card, as reflected in its average benchmark score of 60347 and its 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most apparent at higher resolutions and settings. The 4K results demonstrate a clear GPU bottleneck. The frame rate at 4K Ultra (66 FPS) is less than half of the 1080p Ultra result (180 FPS), which is a direct consequence of the GPU's rendering workload. The 4K Medium result (106 FPS) and 4K Low result (135 FPS) show that even when settings are reduced, the resolution itself imposes a heavy load on the GPU, preventing the frame rate from approaching the levels seen at 1080p.

The RTX 4090's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Arc Pro A60, which has a nearly identical average score (60326 vs 60347), and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M, which is slightly ahead at 61896. This context shows that the RTX 4090 is at the top of its class. However, the Fivem data indicates that the game's engine and the multiplayer server load can still limit this GPU's potential, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU becomes more relevant.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's display resolution and target frame rate. For a 1080p display, all presets are playable, but the Low preset at 290 FPS is excessive unless aiming for the absolute highest refresh rate. The High preset at 232 FPS offers a better balance of visual quality and performance, easily exceeding 144 Hz. The Ultra preset at 180 FPS still provides an excellent experience for high-refresh-rate monitors.

For a 1440p display, the High preset at 153 FPS is the sweet spot, offering a smooth experience on 144 Hz monitors while maintaining good visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 119 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing visuals over raw frame rate. The Low and Medium presets, at 242 and 191 FPS respectively, are excellent for competitive play where maximum frame rate is paramount, but they sacrifice visual quality.

For a 4K display, the data suggests that the Medium preset at 106 FPS is the best choice for a balanced experience. The High preset at 85 FPS is playable, but the Medium preset provides a more comfortable margin above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 66 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay, as it borders on the edge of playability and may result in noticeable dips. The Low preset at 135 FPS is the best for achieving high refresh rates at 4K, but it significantly reduces visual quality. In summary, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and quality at 4K, while High is recommended for 1080p and 1440p.
