Fivem

Fivem presents a unique challenge for hardware analysis, as its performance is heavily influenced by server-side scripts and the density of player-created content. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT combination reveals a system that is capable of high frame rates but requires careful settings management to maintain consistency. The data shows a clear hierarchy across resolutions, with the system demonstrating significant headroom at 1080p that narrows considerably as pixel count increases.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS across the four settings presets indicates that the "High" preset offers the most balanced experience for this specific combo. At 1920x1080, High delivers an average of 138.8 FPS, which is 31 FPS lower than the 171 FPS seen at Medium but a substantial 30.9 FPS higher than the 107.9 FPS at Ultra. The jump from High to Ultra yields a performance penalty of roughly 22%, while the visual uplift in Fivem's often user-generated asset-heavy environments may not justify the cost. Conversely, dropping from High to Low provides a significant boost to 220 FPS, but this comes at the expense of visual fidelity in a game where draw distance and object detail are crucial for gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the High preset again emerges as the sweet spot, producing 92.5 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play, while the Medium preset at 115.8 FPS and Low at 145.2 FPS offer extra headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 69 FPS remains playable but leaves little margin for the frame-time spikes common in multiplayer scenarios. For 4K, the situation changes drastically; High drops to 49.9 FPS, which is below the ideal for competitive play. The data suggests that for a 3840x2160 display, the Medium preset at 60.9 FPS is the highest playable option, with Low at 81.6 FPS being the safer choice for maintaining a stable experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The GPU's boost clock is rated at 2544 MHz, with a game clock of 2171 MHz. In Fivem, the VRAM capacity is a critical factor, as populated servers with custom vehicles, clothing, and map modifications can quickly consume memory. The 12 GB allocation is sufficient to handle these assets at 1080p and 1440p without issue, as evidenced by the high average FPS at those resolutions. However, at 4K, the demand on both memory bandwidth and the GPU's compute resources becomes apparent, with the High preset's average dropping to 49.9 FPS.

The GPU's raw compute capability, rated at 35.17 TFLOPS FP32, is more than adequate for Fivem's engine. The bottleneck at higher resolutions appears to be a combination of memory bandwidth and the RDNA 3.0 architecture's ability to handle the game's draw calls. The data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p, the CPU can feed the GPU fast enough to reach 220 FPS on Low, but as resolution increases, the GPU's workload scales up, and the frame rate drops proportionally. This indicates that while the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, the CPU still plays a significant role at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K is aggressive and reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At 1080p High, the system produces 138.8 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average drops by 46.3 FPS to 92.5 FPS, a 33% reduction. Going from 1440p to 4K High, the frame rate falls by another 42.6 FPS to 49.9 FPS, a further 46% reduction. This non-linear decline suggests that the GPU is becoming increasingly saturated as pixel count rises.

For the Low preset, the scaling is even more pronounced. The 1080p Low score of 220 FPS drops to 145.2 FPS at 1440p, a 34% decrease, and then plummets to 81.6 FPS at 4K, a 44% drop from 1440p. The fact that the frame rate still nearly halves when going from 1440p to 4K on Low settings indicates that the Radeon RX 7700 XT is the primary limiting component at 4K. At 1080p, the 220 FPS ceiling suggests the CPU or game engine's single-threaded performance is capping the output, as the GPU has ample headroom. The data implies that for 1080p high-refresh-rate gaming, this combo is perfectly balanced, but for 4K, the GPU becomes the clear constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific pairing of the Ryzen 7 5700G and Radeon RX 7700 XT holds a combo rank of 754 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the upper half of all tested systems, indicating that it is a solid performer for this game. The rank suggests that while it is not a top-tier setup, it outperforms a majority of other combinations. The CPU alone is in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. The discrepancy in percentiles suggests that the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU in this pairing, which aligns with the observed bottleneck shift at higher resolutions.

The data shows that this combo is better suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the rank would likely be higher, than for 4K. The 754th rank out of 1792 is a composite score across all resolutions and settings, which drags down the overall standing due to the weaker 4K performance. In the context of Fivem, where many players prioritize high frame rates over absolute visual fidelity, this combo's ability to deliver 145.2 FPS at 1440p Low is a strong indicator of its suitability for competitive play.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features a 16 MB L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance and memory latency, this CPU's specifications are relevant. The 3dmark_single_thread score of 899 and the passmark_single_thread score of 3283 indicate solid single-core performance, which is crucial for the game's main simulation thread.

The data reveals that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor. The 220 FPS at Low settings is likely near the engine's or the CPU's maximum output for this configuration. The fact that increasing the resolution from 1080p to 1440p only results in a 34% drop in frame rate on Low settings, despite a 78% increase in pixel count, suggests that the CPU is still contributing significantly to the frame time at 1440p. This is further evidenced by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755, which shows the CPU has ample multi-threaded power, but Fivem often struggles to utilize all cores effectively. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides headroom for background tasks and server communication, but the game's core logic appears to be bottlenecked by single-thread performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low at 220, Medium at 171, High at 138.8, and Ultra at 107.9. The difference between Low and Ultra is 112.1 FPS, which is a massive 51% reduction in performance. This highlights the significant cost of the Ultra preset's additional effects and draw distances.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 145.2, Medium at 115.8, High at 92.5, and Ultra at 69. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 76.2 FPS, but the relative percentage drop is similar. The Ultra preset here is just above the 60 FPS playability threshold, making it a marginal choice for most users.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 81.6, Medium at 60.9, High at 49.9, and Ultra at 36.3. At this resolution, even the Low preset provides a playable experience, but Ultra is effectively unplayable for smooth gameplay. The data shows that the step from Medium to High at 4K costs 11 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs another 13.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is being overwhelmed by the higher settings.
