# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

The combination of AMD's Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA's RTX 5090 D produces a fascinating performance profile in Fivem, a multiplayer title that exhibits unusual scaling behavior across resolutions and settings. The measured data reveals a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at lower resolutions, yet shows signs of CPU limitations emerging as pixel count increases. With a combo rank of 70 out of 3005 tested configurations, this pairing sits comfortably in the top 2.3% of all combinations tested, though the performance characteristics are far from uniform across the tested spectrum.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies in this system. At 1080p with Low settings, the RTX 5090 D pushes 290 FPS, but dropping to Medium only reduces this to 266 FPS, and High settings yield 246 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is just 24 FPS, suggesting the GPU is not being fully utilized even at Medium settings. Moving to 1440p, the same Low setting produces 252 FPS, a relatively modest 13% reduction from 1080p, which indicates the CPU is still capable of feeding the GPU adequately at this resolution.

The scaling pattern shifts dramatically at 4K. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average FPS drops to 147, which represents a substantial 49% reduction from the 1080p Low result of 290 FPS. This steep decline suggests the GPU is finally becoming the primary limiting factor at this resolution. The High setting at 4K produces 93 FPS, while Ultra drops to 72 FPS, showing a consistent and expected degradation as pixel count increases. The resolution scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings shows a 44% reduction from 167 FPS to 93 FPS, which aligns with the roughly 2.25x pixel count increase between these resolutions.

What makes this scaling particularly interesting is the comparison between Low and Ultra settings across resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low (290 FPS) and Ultra (197 FPS) is 93 FPS, but at 4K, this same comparison shows a gap of 75 FPS (147 vs 72). The narrowing delta at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU's raw throughput becomes the dominant constraint, while at lower resolutions, the CPU and memory subsystem play a larger role in determining attainable frame rates.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 D brings formidable specifications to this pairing, with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units are complemented by 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores. The base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz drive a peak FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS, making this one of the most capable graphics processors in the benchmark database.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution increases. The 4K Ultra result of 72 FPS demonstrates that even this massive GPU is challenged by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings. The memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s appears sufficient for the game's demands, as the Medium setting at 4K shows a minimum FPS of 99 and maximum of 133, indicating stable frame delivery without obvious memory-related stuttering. The GPU's percentile rank of 92 versus all GPUs suggests it outperforms the vast majority of graphics cards in general benchmarks, yet Fivem's performance at 4K Ultra still falls below 75 FPS, highlighting the game's demanding nature at high settings.

The GPU compute score of 28396 in Passmark and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14326 provide context for the GPU's theoretical capabilities, though Fivem's actual performance is more dependent on the interaction between CPU and GPU than raw compute potential alone. The fact that the RTX 5090 D achieves 147 FPS at 4K Low but only 72 FPS at 4K Ultra suggests the game's Ultra preset introduces effects or draw calls that disproportionately impact performance on this architecture.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 70 out of 3005 tested combinations, the Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 5090 D pairing places in the top percentile of all tested systems for Fivem. This ranking is particularly notable given that the CPU itself only sits at the 78th percentile versus all CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 92nd percentile versus all GPUs. The combination outperforms what either component's individual percentile might suggest, indicating favorable interaction between these specific parts in this game.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (0.1% slower), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (0.1% slower), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (0.3% faster). These tiny deltas show that the Ryzen 7 5700 sits in a very competitive performance band for its class, though none of these rivals are typically paired with an RTX 5090 D class GPU. The GPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (1.1% slower), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.6% faster), and two NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants (2.1% and 2.4% faster), though these comparisons are based on general benchmark averages rather than Fivem-specific performance.

The rank of 70 out of 3005 means this combination outperforms 2935 other tested configurations in Fivem, placing it in the top 2.3% of all tested systems. This high ranking reflects the GPU's dominance in the pairing, as the RTX 5090 D is capable of delivering high frame rates even when paired with a mid-range CPU like the Ryzen 7 5700.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive picture of performance across twelve distinct configurations. At 1080p, the results span from 290 FPS at Low settings to 197 FPS at Ultra, with Medium and High producing 266 FPS and 246 FPS respectively. The Medium setting at 1080p shows a minimum of 226 FPS and maximum of 306 FPS, indicating frame times are generally consistent with occasional dips and peaks.

Moving to 1440p, the performance envelope shifts downward but remains impressive. Low settings produce 252 FPS, Medium delivers 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 and maximum of 240, High achieves 167 FPS, and Ultra drops to 130 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at each settings tier shows reductions of 38 FPS (Low), 57 FPS (Medium), 79 FPS (High), and 67 FPS (Ultra). These reductions are not uniform, with High settings showing the largest absolute drop, suggesting this preset combination is particularly sensitive to resolution changes.

At 4K, the results reveal the GPU's limits more clearly. Low settings produce 147 FPS, Medium delivers 116 FPS with a minimum of 99 and maximum of 133, High achieves 93 FPS, and Ultra drops to 72 FPS. The Medium setting at 4K is the only configuration with min/max data, showing a 34 FPS range between minimum and maximum, which indicates some frame time variability at this resolution. The step from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 21 FPS reduction, while the step from Medium to High is 23 FPS, showing fairly consistent degradation across the higher settings tiers at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, all settings tiers deliver well above 144 FPS, making even Ultra settings viable for high refresh rate displays. The 197 FPS at Ultra exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors, so users with 144Hz or 165Hz displays can safely select Ultra settings at this resolution without sacrificing smoothness.

For 1440p, the High preset at 167 FPS represents the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users, as it exceeds 144 FPS while providing substantially better visual fidelity than Medium or Low. Users with 240Hz displays could drop to Low settings (252 FPS) to maximize frame rate, while those prioritizing visuals over raw FPS could still use Ultra (130 FPS) if they have a 120Hz or 144Hz display with adaptive sync. The Medium setting at 209 FPS offers a middle ground for users with 200Hz+ displays who want better visuals than Low.

At 4K, the situation becomes more constrained. High settings at 93 FPS is the highest quality preset that maintains a playable frame rate, though it falls short of 120 FPS. Medium at 116 FPS is the only 4K preset that exceeds 100 FPS, making it the recommended choice for users targeting smooth 4K gameplay. Low at 147 FPS is viable for competitive play where frame rate takes priority over visual quality, but Ultra at 72 FPS is only suitable for users with displays capped at 60-75Hz who prioritize maximum visual fidelity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. With a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, this CPU delivers strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916. The 16 MB of L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core provide adequate data locality for game workloads, while the 65W TDP keeps thermal demands modest.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining the performance deltas between settings at the same resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low (290 FPS) and Ultra (197 FPS) is 93 FPS, which is a 32% reduction. This significant drop suggests that higher settings increase CPU workload through additional draw calls or simulation logic, not just GPU rendering load. The CPU's Passmark multithread score of 24303 and single-thread score of 3296 indicate solid but not exceptional performance, yet the combo still achieves top-tier rankings in Fivem.

The CPU's 3DMark scores provide further context: 901 for single-thread, 1762 for 2-threads, 3382 for 4-threads, 5585 for 8-threads, and 6617 for max-threads. These scores show good scaling up to 8 threads, with diminishing returns beyond that point. Fivem's multiplayer nature likely benefits from the 8-core configuration, as multiple player entities and network processing can utilize additional threads. The CPU's release date of 2022-04-03 and active production status indicate it remains a current product, and the unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking to potentially improve performance in CPU-bound scenarios.
