Fivem

Fivem, released in 2017, is a multiplayer-focused title that builds on the modding framework of Grand Theft Auto V. The benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D shows a compelling mix of high frame rates across resolutions, but the relationship between CPU and GPU shifts dramatically depending on settings and resolution. This analysis examines the measured FPS rows to understand where the bottleneck lies, how the combo ranks among 3005 tested configurations, and what the data suggests for optimal play.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture (codename Vermeer) using a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and it uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform with PCIe Gen 4 connectivity (20 lanes from the CPU). The processor’s benchmark scores place it in the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27578.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at lower resolutions and higher settings where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 298 FPS average, and at 1080p Medium, it reaches 274 FPS average. These numbers indicate that the Ryzen 7 5700X’s 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 5090 D at high frame rates, but the data also shows diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 72, which suggests the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor. The CPU’s single-thread performance, measured at 921 in 3DMark single-thread and 1499 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is strong but not exceptional, yet Fivem’s multiplayer nature—often involving many player-driven entities—may rely on a few heavily loaded threads. The 16 threads provide headroom for background tasks and server communication, which is typical for multiplayer games. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700X is statistically tied with the Intel Core i5-12600K (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (0.2% faster), the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (0.2% slower), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (0.3% faster). This means the CPU’s overall compute capability is well-balanced for a game like Fivem, where the engine’s draw calls and physics calculations can stress both multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU is handling the workload competently, but the frame rate differences between Low and Ultra settings (298 vs 197 FPS at 1080p) suggest that the GPU’s rendering load is also a factor, even at lower resolutions.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

Q: What is the average FPS at 2560x1440 with High settings?

A: The measured average FPS is 167 at 2560x1440 with High settings. This is a substantial drop from the 253 FPS at 1920x1080 High, indicating that the resolution increase places more load on the GPU, but the CPU still maintains a high frame rate.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested configurations in Fivem?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combo is ranked 63rd out of 3005 combinations tested in Fivem. This places it in the top 2.1% of all combos, showing that this pairing is very capable for this game, despite the CPU not being the absolute fastest available.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded at 4K Medium settings?

A: At 3840x2160 with Medium settings, the minimum FPS is 99, with an average of 116 and a maximum of 133. This is the only 4K row with a min FPS value, suggesting that the frame pacing is stable enough to avoid drops below 99 FPS.

Q: Does the RTX 5090 D support DirectX 12 Ultimate?

A: Yes, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), along with OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. This means it is fully compatible with modern graphics APIs that Fivem may use, though the game’s engine is older.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 298, which drops to 260 at 1440p Low (a 12.8% decrease) and further to 147 at 4K Low (a 50.7% decrease from 1080p). At High settings, the progression is 253 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 93 FPS at 4K (a 63.2% drop from 1080p). The Ultra settings show the steepest decline: 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 72 FPS at 4K (a 63.5% drop from 1080p).

This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions. The RTX 5090 D has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and a 512-bit bus, but the sheer pixel count at 4K—3840x2160—requires significantly more fill rate and shading power. The GPU’s pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s, which are high but still constrained by the game’s engine. At 1080p, the frame rates are so high that the CPU’s single-thread performance may become a factor, especially in multiplayer scenarios with many entities. The fact that 1080p Low (298 FPS) is only 24% faster than 1080p Ultra (197 FPS) suggests that even at low settings, the CPU is not the sole bottleneck—the GPU is still doing meaningful work. Between 1440p and 4K, the FPS drops are more pronounced, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. The data implies that for players targeting 4K, the RTX 5090 D is doing the heavy lifting, while the Ryzen 7 5700X provides enough CPU headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck at most settings. However, at 1080p Low, the CPU’s limits may be near, as the 298 FPS average is close to what the processor can deliver in terms of game logic and draw call submission.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo of AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is ranked 63rd out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem. This rank is exceptionally high, placing it in the top 2.1% of all configurations. The data includes other combos with the same CPU or GPU, but the rank reflects the overall performance of this specific pairing in this game. The RTX 5090 D is in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77712, while the Ryzen 7 5700X is in the 79th percentile among CPUs. The combination of a top-tier GPU with a mid-to-high-tier CPU yields a result that is better than the CPU’s percentile alone would suggest, indicating that Fivem is not purely CPU-bound.

The nearest rivals for the GPU include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (1.1% faster), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.6% slower), and two NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants (2.1% and 2.4% slower). These are mobile or datacenter GPUs, which is odd, but the deltaPct values show that the RTX 5090 D’s average benchmark score is within a narrow range of these parts. This suggests that the benchmark average may not fully capture gaming performance, as Fivem’s measured FPS is more relevant. The combo’s rank of 63 implies that only 62 other combinations (out of 3005) deliver higher FPS in this game. Given the CPU’s 79th percentile rank, the high combo rank likely stems from the GPU’s dominance, but the CPU must still keep up. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 298 FPS, which is close to the 300 FPS threshold that many high-refresh monitors use. This suggests that the combo is well-balanced for Fivem, but the rank could be even higher if the CPU were faster (e.g., a Ryzen 9 with more cores), though the measured data only supports the current combo.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a monster of a GPU, with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. It has 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs, along with 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores. The chip is GB202, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. The base clock is 2017 MHz, and the boost clock is 2407 MHz. The GPU’s compute power is staggering: FP32 performance is 104.8 TFLOPS, and FP16 is also 104.8 TFLOPS (1:1). The TDP is 575 W, with a suggested PSU of 950 W, and it uses a 1x 16-pin power connector. The GPU supports PCIe 5.0 x16 and has display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role is to render the game’s world, which is based on Grand Theft Auto V’s engine. The 32 GB of VRAM is overkill for this game—Fivem’s textures and geometry are not likely to exceed 8-12 GB even at 4K Ultra—but the high memory bandwidth ensures that texture streaming is never a bottleneck. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 72 FPS average, which is playable but not high-refresh territory. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 147, showing that the GPU can push more frames when the shading load is reduced. The GPU’s boost clock of 2407 MHz is high, and the data shows that the RTX 5090 D is not thermal-throttling in this test, as the FPS scales consistently with settings. The GPU’s 92nd percentile rank and average benchmark score of 77712 place it well above most GPUs, but the nearest rivals in the benchmark data are mobile parts (RX 6650M XT, RX 6850M XT) and old Tesla P100s, which are not directly comparable for gaming. The RTX 5090 D’s DirectX 12 Ultimate support means it can handle the latest features, but Fivem is an older game that may rely on DX11, where the GPU’s raw rasterization power shines. The data indicates that the GPU is the dominant component at 4K, but at 1080p, the CPU’s limits become visible, as the FPS gains from lowering settings are smaller than at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data for this combo in Fivem is as follows:

At 1920x1080 (1080p):

• High: 253 FPS average
• Low: 298 FPS average
• Medium: 274 FPS average (min 233, max 315)
• Ultra: 197 FPS average

At 2560x1440 (1440p):

• High: 167 FPS average
• Low: 260 FPS average
• Medium: 209 FPS average (min 178, max 240)
• Ultra: 130 FPS average

At 3840x2160 (4K):

• High: 93 FPS average
• Low: 147 FPS average
• Medium: 116 FPS average (min 99, max 133)
• Ultra: 72 FPS average

The 1080p data shows a clear hierarchy: Low > Medium > High > Ultra, with a 34% difference between Low and Ultra (298 vs 197 FPS). The Medium preset has a min FPS of 233 and max of 315, indicating that the frame rate is stable with occasional spikes. At 1440p, the same ordering holds, but the gap between Low and Ultra widens to exactly 50% (260 vs 130 FPS). The Medium preset at 1440p has a min of 178 and max of 240, which is a 62 FPS range, suggesting some variability. At 4K, the ordering is Low (147) > Medium (116) > High (93) > Ultra (72), with the gap between Low and Ultra being 51%. The Medium preset at 4K has a min of 99 and max of 133, which is a narrower range than at 1440p, indicating that the GPU is more consistently loaded at higher resolutions. The data shows that the RTX 5090 D can handle 4K Ultra at 72 FPS average, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play, but the CPU’s influence is seen in the 1080p results where the FPS is high but not as high as the GPU alone could theoretically produce. The lack of min/max FPS values for most rows means we only have averages, but the Medium preset at each resolution provides a glimpse into frame pacing—the 1080p Medium has a 82 FPS range (233-315), which is the largest, while 4K Medium has a 34 FPS range (99-133), indicating more stable frame times at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the best settings preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p, the Low preset delivers 298 FPS average, which is ideal for 240 Hz monitors, but the Medium preset at 274 FPS (min 233, max 315) is a better balance—it offers higher visual quality while still exceeding 240 FPS on average. The High preset at 253 FPS is also viable for 240 Hz displays, but the Ultra preset at 197 FPS falls below the 240 FPS threshold, making it less ideal for the fastest refresh rates. For 1440p, the Low preset at 260 FPS is excellent for 240 Hz, but the Medium preset at 209 FPS (min 178, max 240) is the sweet spot for 144 Hz monitors, as it provides near-consistent 144+ FPS with better visuals. The High preset at 167 FPS is also suitable for 144 Hz displays, while the Ultra preset at 130 FPS is fine for 120 Hz panels but not for 144 Hz. For 4K, the situation is different. The Low preset at 147 FPS is the only one that exceeds 144 FPS, making it the choice for 144 Hz 4K monitors, but the Medium preset at 116 FPS (min 99, max 133) is better for 120 Hz displays, as it stays above 99 FPS at all times. The High preset at 93 FPS is playable on 60-90 Hz monitors, and the Ultra preset at 72 FPS is acceptable for 60 Hz displays but not for high refresh rates.

The data implies that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across resolutions, as it provides a significant visual upgrade over Low while maintaining high frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 274, which is only 8% lower than Low but with better shadows and textures. At 1440p Medium, the average is 209, which is 20% lower than Low but still well above 144 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 116, which is 21% lower than Low but provides a much better image quality. The Ultra preset, while visually superior, causes a substantial FPS drop—at 4K, it falls to 72 FPS, which is a 50% reduction from Medium. For most players, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it balances visual fidelity and performance. However, for competitive play at 1080p, the Low preset’s 298 FPS average is appealing, but the Medium preset’s 274 FPS is close enough that the visual benefits outweigh the 8% performance loss. The data does not include any settings above Ultra or below Low, so the measured rows are the only basis for recommendations.
