Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces a compelling, high-refresh-rate experience in Fivem, with the data showing a clear shift from CPU to GPU limitation as resolution increases. The combination ranks 132nd out of 3005 tested combos for this game, placing it in the top 4.4% of all configurations. Benchmark results indicate that the processor’s 3D V-Cache architecture is the primary driver of extreme frame rates at 1080p, while the graphics card’s immense memory bandwidth becomes the decisive factor at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, drawing up to 105 W TDP. The defining feature is its 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is exceptionally large for a desktop CPU and directly benefits games like Fivem that rely on frequent data retrieval. The processor’s 3Dmark scores demonstrate strong multi-threaded capability: 6764 in the 16-thread test and 6755 at max threads, while single-thread performance sits at 804. In Cinebench R23, it achieves 22366 multi-core and 3157 single-core points.

In Fivem, the CPU’s influence is most pronounced at 1920x1080, where frame rates reach 261 FPS on Low settings and 222 FPS on High. The data shows that at this resolution, the processor is the primary limiter, as the GPU has ample headroom. The 5700X3D’s 96 MB L3 cache is particularly effective here, reducing memory latency and keeping the game’s simulation and AI workloads fed. The processor’s Passmark multithread score of 26318 and integer math score of 81257 indicate robust handling of the complex, dynamic scenarios typical of multiplayer servers.

However, the CPU’s relative standing among rivals shows a tight cluster. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D, scores 24728 in average benchmark, a mere 0.1% delta. The Intel Core i5-12450HX is 0.5% ahead, and the Intel Core i5-11600 is 0.6% ahead. This suggests that while the 5700X3D is competitive, it does not have a decisive lead in synthetic tests. Yet in Fivem’s specific workload, the large cache proves more valuable than raw clock speed, explaining why the game sustains 240 FPS at 1080p Medium with a minimum of 204 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a behemoth built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process. It features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s clock speeds are 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). It contains 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines. The card’s FP32 compute reaches 104.8 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s.

In Fivem, the GPU’s massive memory allocation and bandwidth become critical at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly: 147 FPS on Low, 116 FPS on Medium, 93 FPS on High, and 72 FPS on Ultra. This scaling pattern reveals that the RTX 5090 D is still the dominant component at 4K, but the game’s engine and CPU begin to constrain it. The GPU’s 32 GB VRAM is far beyond Fivem’s requirements, ensuring no texture swapping or stutter from memory exhaustion, even on Ultra settings with dense multiplayer lobbies.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reflect its flagship status. Its Passmark G3D score is 44065, and Geekbench Vulkan reaches 376915. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 14326. Comparatively, the nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, scores 76904 in average benchmark, which is 1.1% ahead of the RTX 5090 D’s 77712. This delta is intriguing, as it suggests the 5090 D’s raw compute is not always translated into higher synthetic scores, but in Fivem’s real-world rendering, the card’s 1.79 TB/s bandwidth is decisive for 4K performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on optimal settings. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the sweet spot, delivering 240 FPS average with a minimum of 204 FPS and a maximum of 276 FPS. This is a 18 FPS improvement over High settings (222 FPS) and only 21 FPS behind Low (261 FPS). The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 197 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices 43 FPS compared to Medium. Given that Fivem is a multiplayer title where reaction time matters, the Medium preset at 1080p offers the best balance of visual fidelity and competitive frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again provides the strongest experience, with 209 FPS average, 177 FPS minimum, and 240 FPS maximum. This is notably superior to High (167 FPS) and far ahead of Ultra (130 FPS). The Low preset at 1440p achieves 227 FPS, but the visual quality loss is substantial for only an 18 FPS gain over Medium. For most players, the Medium preset at 1440p is the recommended choice, as it maintains a frame rate well above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on QHD monitors.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. The Low preset yields 147 FPS, which is the only 4K setting that consistently exceeds 144 FPS. Medium drops to 116 FPS, High to 93 FPS, and Ultra to 72 FPS. For 4K gaming, the Low preset is the pragmatic recommendation, as it maintains smooth gameplay without dipping below 100 FPS. Players with 120 Hz 4K displays may find Medium acceptable at 116 FPS, but the data suggests that Low is the most consistent option for high-refresh 4K monitors.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals the changing bottleneck dynamics. At 1080p Low, the average is 261 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, it drops to 227 FPS, a 13% decrease. At 4K Low, it falls to 147 FPS, a 35% decrease from 1440p and a 43.7% decrease from 1080p. This pattern indicates that while the GPU is heavily utilized, the CPU’s 3D V-Cache still allows for high frame rates even at 4K, as the 147 FPS figure is far from a CPU-bound ceiling.

For Medium settings, the scaling is steeper. 1080p Medium averages 240 FPS, 1440p Medium drops to 209 FPS (12.9% decrease), and 4K Medium falls to 116 FPS (44.5% decrease from 1440p). The 4K Medium result suggests the GPU is now the primary constraint, as the additional pixel load overwhelms the 1.79 TB/s bandwidth. The difference between 1080p and 4K Medium is 124 FPS, a 51.7% reduction.

At High settings, the drop is more pronounced. 1080p High is 222 FPS, 1440p High is 167 FPS (24.8% decrease), and 4K High is 93 FPS (44.3% decrease from 1440p). The 4K High result of 93 FPS is the first setting where the experience falls below 100 FPS, indicating that the combination of high resolution and higher fidelity settings overwhelms the system. Ultra settings show the most severe scaling: 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p (34% decrease), and 72 FPS at 4K (44.6% decrease). This 125 FPS spread from 1080p to 4K Ultra highlights that the RTX 5090 D, despite its power, cannot fully compensate for the CPU’s limitations at higher settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset provides a comprehensive view of performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 261 FPS average, with no recorded minimum or maximum values. Medium settings yield 240 FPS average, with a minimum of 204 FPS and a maximum of 276 FPS. High settings produce 222 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 197 FPS average. All 1080p results exceed 190 FPS, making this resolution ideal for 240 Hz monitors.

At 2560x1440, Low settings reach 227 FPS average. Medium settings deliver 209 FPS average, with a minimum of 177 FPS and a maximum of 240 FPS. High settings average 167 FPS, while Ultra settings average 130 FPS. The 1440p results show a wider spread, with a 97 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, indicating that the GPU is becoming more influential but the CPU still maintains high minimums.

At 3840x2160, Low settings drop to 147 FPS average. Medium settings average 116 FPS, with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 133 FPS. High settings average 93 FPS, and Ultra settings average 72 FPS. The 4K results demonstrate a stark contrast: Low is the only preset that stays above 100 FPS, while Ultra falls below 75 FPS. The Medium preset’s minimum of 99 FPS indicates occasional dips below the 100 FPS threshold, which may be noticeable on high-refresh 4K displays.

The data shows a consistent pattern: at 1080p, the CPU’s large cache allows for near-maximum frame rates regardless of settings. At 1440p, the balance shifts, and at 4K, the GPU’s bandwidth and compute become the limiting factors. The RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB VRAM ensures no memory-related stutters, but the game’s engine appears to scale poorly with resolution on Ultra settings, as evidenced by the 72 FPS result. Overall, this combination is best suited for high-refresh 1440p gaming, where it sustains over 200 FPS on Medium settings, or for 4K gamers willing to use Low presets to maintain smooth frame rates.
