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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and it carries a 105 W TDP. The processor operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with dual-channel DDR4 memory support and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU demonstrates balanced single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The 3DMark single-thread score is 943, while the 2-thread score reaches 1846, indicating strong per-core efficiency. Scaling from 2 threads to 4 threads yields 3543, then 6035 at 8 threads, and 7586 at 16 threads — a near-linear progression that suggests the processor handles multi-threaded workloads effectively. Cinebench R23 results reinforce this: 1574.5 in single-core and 15476 in multi-core. Geekbench shows 2032 single-core and 11036 multi-core scores.

The CPU sits at the 81st percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 29123. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H (avg score 29093, deltaPct 0.1), Intel Xeon Phi 7210 (avg score 29245, deltaPct -0.4), Intel Core i5-13500HX (avg score 29270, deltaPct -0.5), and AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (avg score 28940, deltaPct 0.6). These deltas are all within 0.6 percentage points, placing the 5800X in a tightly contested performance tier.

For Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework that relies heavily on server-side scripting and client-side rendering, the 5800X's cache configuration is notable. It offers 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. This large L3 pool can help with the frequent script calls and asset streaming typical of multiplayer servers. The 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die reflect a dense, power-efficient design.

The boost clock of 4.70 GHz is particularly relevant for Fivem's single-threaded script execution, where higher clocks directly translate to faster response times in server-client interactions. The processor's 16 threads allow background tasks — such as Discord, streaming software, or anti-cheat systems — to run without starving the game's primary threads. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7586 and max-thread score of 7578 indicate that the CPU's thread scheduling is consistent even under full load.

# How This Combo Ranks

In Fivem, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 achieves a combo rank of 303 out of 3707 tested combinations. This places the pairing in the top 8.2 percent of all tested configurations, a strong showing for a mid-generation CPU paired with a high-end GPU.

The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's 81st percentile standing and the GPU's 86th percentile among all parts. While neither component is at the absolute top of its respective category, their combined performance in Fivem is greater than either part's individual percentile might suggest. This indicates that the two components complement each other well in this specific game.

The RTX 4080's average benchmark score is 54247, with its nearest rivals being the RTX 4080 SUPER (avg score 54209, deltaPct 0.1), AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (avg score 54828, deltaPct -1.1), AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (avg score 55698, deltaPct -2.6), and AMD Radeon 8060S (avg score 55757, deltaPct -2.7). The 4080 sits within 2.7 percent of these competitors, but the combo rank of 303 suggests that Fivem's engine favors the NVIDIA architecture's specific strengths.

The rank of 303 out of 3707 also implies that roughly 3400 other combinations have been tested in this game. The fact that this combo lands in the upper echelon is notable because Fivem is known for being heavily CPU-bound in many scenarios, particularly in densely populated urban areas where many players' scripts interact simultaneously. The 5800X's strong single-threaded performance helps mitigate these bottlenecks.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the combo scales across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 304 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 219 FPS, a reduction of 85 FPS or 28 percent. At 4K Low, the average falls to 122 FPS, another 97 FPS drop from 1440p. This steep decline at lower settings indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, while the CPU has ample headroom at 1080p.

With High settings, the scaling is similar but with a different starting point. At 1080p High, the average is 210 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 138 FPS, a 72 FPS reduction. At 4K High, the average is 77 FPS, a 61 FPS drop from 1440p. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34 percent, and from 1440p to 4K is 44 percent. This suggests that as settings increase, the GPU workload grows disproportionately, making the card the primary constraint.

For Medium settings, the measured rows include min and max FPS values, providing additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average is 263 FPS with a range of 223 to 302 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 173 FPS with a range of 147 to 199 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 96 FPS with a range of 82 to 110 FPS. The frame time consistency, as indicated by the min-max spread, remains relatively tight across all resolutions, suggesting no major stuttering issues.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 163 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 107 FPS. At 4K Ultra, it falls to 60 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 47 FPS, a 44 percent reduction. This pattern indicates that at Ultra settings, the game becomes increasingly GPU-bound, with the RTX 4080's 16 GB of VRAM and 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth being pushed to their limits.

The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU has sufficient headroom to feed the GPU at lower settings, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck regardless of settings. The 5800X's 32 MB L3 cache and 4.70 GHz boost clock help maintain high minimum frame rates in CPU-intensive multiplayer scenarios.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 304 FPS, while Medium averages 263 FPS with a range of 223 to 302 FPS. High settings yield 210 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 163 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 141 FPS difference, with each settings tier costing roughly 40-50 FPS on average.

Moving to 1440p, the averages are 219 FPS at Low, 173 FPS at Medium (range 147-199), 138 FPS at High, and 107 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 112 FPS, indicating that the GPU's workload at this resolution begins to compress the performance envelope. The Medium setting's range of 147-199 FPS shows a 52 FPS spread, which is the largest at any resolution, suggesting some scene-dependent variability.

At 4K, the averages fall to 122 FPS at Low, 96 FPS at Medium (range 82-110), 77 FPS at High, and 60 FPS at Ultra. The Low-to-Ultra gap is now 62 FPS, less than half of what it was at 1080p. This compression indicates that at 4K, the GPU is the dominant constraint across all settings. The Medium range of 82-110 FPS shows a 28 FPS spread, the tightest of any resolution, suggesting more consistent frame pacing at this higher resolution.

Comparing settings across resolutions, the 5800X + RTX 4080 combo maintains playable frame rates at 4K even on Ultra, with 60 FPS average. At 1080p, all settings exceed 160 FPS, making the combo well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors. The 1440p results sit in a sweet spot: even Ultra settings achieve 107 FPS, which is above the 100 FPS threshold many competitive players target.

The min FPS values are only provided for Medium settings, but they reveal important information. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 223 FPS, which is 85 percent of the average. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 147 FPS, 85 percent of the average. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 82 FPS, also 85 percent of the average. This consistent ratio suggests that frame drops are proportional to average performance rather than being caused by specific bottlenecks.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with an AD103 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It contains 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, with a transistor density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. The card features 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, along with 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores.

The GPU's base clock is 2205 MHz with a boost clock of 2505 MHz. Memory runs at 1400 MHz with 22.4 Gbps effective speed. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory operates on a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is substantial for Fivem, which can load large custom assets and high-resolution textures in multiplayer servers.

Compute performance is impressive: the card delivers 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and the same for FP16 (1:1 ratio). Pixel rate is 280.6 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 761.5 GTexel/s. These figures explain why the card maintains high frame rates even at 4K resolution, where fill rate and texture throughput become critical.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4080 scores 6567 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 214739 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 263779 in Geekbench Vulkan. Passmark results show 34457 in G3D and 20671 in GPU compute. The card sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247.

The RTX 4080's nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, has an average score of 54209 with a deltaPct of 0.1, meaning the standard 4080 is essentially tied with its SUPER variant. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1 percent behind, while the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is 2.6 percent ahead, and the Radeon 8060S is 2.7 percent ahead. These small deltas indicate that the 4080 is well-positioned in its performance tier.

For Fivem specifically, the GPU's 16 GB VRAM is a key asset. Multiplayer servers often use custom vehicles, weapons, and map modifications that can exceed 8 GB of VRAM at high resolutions. The 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth ensures that texture streaming keeps pace with the CPU's script execution. The card's triple-slot cooler and 320 W TDP indicate substantial thermal headroom for sustained gaming sessions.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, all settings exceed 160 FPS, so players with 144 Hz monitors can comfortably use Ultra settings and still maintain 163 FPS average. For 240 Hz displays, High settings at 210 FPS or even Medium at 263 FPS provide sufficient headroom to stay above the refresh rate.

At 1440p, Ultra settings deliver 107 FPS, which is suitable for 100 Hz displays. High settings at 138 FPS are better for 144 Hz monitors, offering a 31 FPS buffer above the refresh threshold. Medium settings at 173 FPS provide additional headroom for 165 Hz or 170 Hz displays, though the visual fidelity reduction may not be worth the extra frames for most players.

At 4K, the choices are more constrained. Ultra settings produce exactly 60 FPS, which is acceptable for 60 Hz displays but leaves no margin for demanding scenes. High settings at 77 FPS provide a 17 FPS buffer over 60 Hz, making this the recommended preset for 4K gaming. Medium settings at 96 FPS are the best option for 4K displays with 90 Hz or 100 Hz refresh rates, though the drop from High to Medium is noticeable in visual quality.

The Medium settings data includes min FPS values, which are useful for understanding worst-case performance. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 82 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS. This suggests that even in the most demanding scenes, the combo will not drop below playable thresholds at this setting. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 147 FPS, and at 1080p Medium, it is 223 FPS, both providing comfortable margins above typical refresh rates.

For players who prioritize frame rate consistency over absolute visual quality, the Medium preset offers the best balance across all resolutions. The min-max FPS ranges at Medium are tighter relative to average performance than would be expected, indicating stable frame pacing. At 4K, the jump from Medium to High costs 19 FPS on average but may be worth it for visual fidelity on larger displays. At 1440p, the jump from High to Ultra costs 31 FPS, which may be too steep for competitive play.
