Fivem

This benchmark pair combines the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 in Fivem, a multiplayer title that scales heavily with both CPU and GPU resources. The data here shows a pairing that delivers high frame rates across all tested settings, but with some interesting bottlenecks that appear as resolution and quality settings change. The RTX 5090 is a top-tier graphics card, ranking in the 94th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5700 sits in the 84th percentile among CPUs. This creates a system that is clearly capable of pushing very high frame rates, but the relationship between the two components shifts depending on the workload.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, and the pattern reveals a lot about where the performance ceiling lies. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 289.9 at 1920x1080 to 253.3 at 2560x1440, and then down to 141.9 at 3840x2160. That is a 51% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the same resolution climb sees a drop from 184.6 at 1080p to 123.2 at 1440p, and finally to 66.6 at 4K — a 64% decline. The fact that the percentage drop is larger at Ultra settings indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor more aggressively as both resolution and graphical load increase.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Even at Ultra settings, the system maintains 184.6 FPS, which is a strong result for a multiplayer title. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p only costs about 105 FPS, which shows the CPU can keep up with the frame generation demands. However, at 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra becomes much more pronounced: 141.9 FPS versus 66.6 FPS. This is a clear indicator that the RTX 5090 is being pushed to its limits at 4K, and the CPU has more headroom to spare at that resolution. The bottleneck shifts from the processor at 1080p to the graphics card at 4K.

The scaling between 1440p and 4K is particularly telling for High settings. At 2560x1440, High produces 155.2 FPS, but at 3840x2160, that number drops to 88.6 FPS. This 43% reduction shows that the game becomes increasingly GPU-bound as pixel count rises. For players targeting high refresh rate monitors at 1440p, this combo is more than adequate, but at 4K, the frame rates start to approach the 60-90 FPS range, which is still playable but not ideal for competitive play.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 is a massive piece of hardware, and its specifications reflect that. It comes with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. This is far more memory than Fivem needs, but it ensures that there is no VRAM limitation at any resolution or settings level. The GPU also features a boost clock of 2407 MHz and a base clock of 2017 MHz, which are respectable figures for a card of this size. The fact that the 4K Ultra result is 66.6 FPS shows that even with this massive memory bandwidth and compute power, the game's engine still has limits.

The GPU's benchmark scores corroborate its strong performance. It scores 39,650 in Passmark G3D and 14,411 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. These numbers place it in the 94th percentile of all GPUs, and it sits just 0.1% ahead of its closest rival, the RTX 5090 D. The data shows that the RTX 5090 is not just a high-end card; it is one of the fastest available, and its performance in Fivem reflects that.

However, the GPU's role in this pairing is interesting because of how the CPU interacts with it. At 1080p, the GPU is not being fully utilized. The frame rates at Low (289.9 FPS) and Medium (265.3 FPS) are so high that they suggest the CPU is the limiting factor. This is a common occurrence with high-end GPUs in CPU-bound titles. The RTX 5090 has the raw power to render frames much faster, but the Ryzen 7 5700 cannot feed it data quickly enough at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear picture of the performance trade-offs. The most balanced option appears to be High settings. At 1920x1080, High delivers 240.2 FPS, which is excellent for any competitive multiplayer scenario. At 2560x1440, it drops to 155.2 FPS, which is still well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many gamers target. Even at 4K, High settings produce 88.6 FPS, which is perfectly playable for a casual experience.

Medium settings offer a slight performance boost over High, but the gains are not massive. At 1080p, Medium yields 265.3 FPS versus 240.2 FPS for High. At 1440p, the gap is 197.2 FPS versus 155.2 FPS. The difference is more substantial at 4K, where Medium hits 107.5 FPS and High only 88.6 FPS. For players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, Medium is a strong choice, but High offers a better balance of image quality and performance.

Ultra settings are the most demanding, and the data shows they are not ideal for this pairing. At 4K, Ultra drops to 66.6 FPS, which is below the 70 FPS threshold that many players consider smooth. At 1440p, Ultra delivers 123.2 FPS, which is good, but it is a significant drop from High's 155.2 FPS. Low settings are also viable for pure performance, hitting 289.9 FPS at 1080p, but the visual compromise is severe. For most players, High settings at 1440p or 1080p will be the sweet spot, offering high frame rates without sacrificing too much visual detail.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 5090 ranks 49th out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. That places it in the top 2.7% of all tested systems, which is an impressive result. The high rank is likely driven by the RTX 5090's dominant GPU performance, which carries the system to high frame rates even when the CPU is not the fastest available.

The rank of 49 is notable because it suggests that many other combinations score higher, likely those with faster CPUs. The Ryzen 7 5700 is a solid processor, but it is not a top-tier part. Its average benchmark score is 27,220, which is just 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700H. This means that in a GPU-heavy game like Fivem, the CPU's relative weakness may prevent the system from achieving the absolute highest frame rates.

For context, the combo rank is a measure of how well this specific pair performs relative to all other tested combinations. A rank of 49 out of 1,792 is excellent, but it also indicates that there is room for improvement. Players with this setup should not feel shortchanged; they are getting top-tier performance. The data shows that the RTX 5090 is doing most of the work, and the CPU is keeping up well enough to avoid being a major bottleneck at most settings.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with 16 MB of L3 cache. These specifications are solid for gaming, and the CPU's benchmark results bear that out. It scores 20,655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,916 in single-core. Its Passmark multithread score is 24,303, and its single-thread score is 3,296.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p resolution. The frame rates at Low settings (289.9 FPS) and Medium settings (265.3 FPS) are so high that the CPU is likely the limiting factor. The RTX 5090 is capable of much higher frame rates, but the Ryzen 7 5700 cannot generate frames fast enough. This is not a criticism of the CPU; it is simply a reflection of the fact that even a strong 8-core processor has limits in a multiplayer title with many entities to track.

The CPU's performance relative to its rivals shows that it is a competent part but not a standout. It is 0.7% ahead of the Core i9-9900K and 0.8% ahead of the Core i7-12700H in average benchmark score. These are all closely matched processors, and in a game like Fivem, the differences may come down to single-thread performance or memory latency. The Ryzen 7 5700's 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock are decent, but they are not exceptional.

For players who want to maximize frame rates at 1080p, the CPU will be the bottleneck. Upgrading to a faster processor would likely yield higher frame rates at that resolution. However, at 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor, and the Ryzen 7 5700 has enough headroom to avoid holding back the RTX 5090 significantly. The data shows that the CPU is adequate for this pairing, but it is not the star of the show.
