Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS across resolutions reveals a predictable scaling pattern, but with important nuances that point to where the bottleneck lies in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers 252.2 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the dataset. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings, the average drops to 166.5 FPS, a reduction of roughly 34%. Pushing further to 3840x2160, the Low preset yields 91.3 FPS, which is another 45% decline from the 1440p result.

This scaling curve is steep, and it becomes more pronounced as settings increase. At Ultra settings, the frame rates are 123.1 FPS at 1080p, 77.5 FPS at 1440p, and 46.9 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Ultra is therefore a substantial 76.2 FPS, or about 62% lower performance. Such a large drop indicates that the RTX 3080 is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions and quality levels, as the pixel throughput demand grows faster than the GPU can render.

However, at 1080p Low, the extremely high frame rate of 252.2 FPS suggests the CPU is still capable of feeding the GPU adequately, though it may be approaching its limits. The data shows that the scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low is a 34% loss, which is larger than what a purely GPU-bound scenario would typically exhibit. This implies that the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5800X3D is playing a significant role in maintaining high minimum performance in this multiplayer title, where many players and scripted events can tax processor throughput.

The resolution scaling analysis points to a system that is well-balanced at 1440p, where the 105.5 FPS High preset average suggests the GPU is still dominant, but the CPU is not yet a bottleneck. At 4K, the GPU becomes decisively the limiting factor, as evidenced by the steep drop to 57.4 FPS on High and 46.9 FPS on Ultra. The measured data indicates that for gamers targeting higher refresh rates, 1080p or 1440p are the viable resolutions for this combo in Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is a substantial component in this configuration, built on the Ampere architecture with a GA102 chip fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process. It features 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, providing 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1440 MHz with a boost clock of 1710 MHz, and memory runs at 1188 MHz, which translates to 19 Gbps effective. These specifications are directly relevant to the observed Fivem performance.

At 1080p Low, the RTX 3080 achieves 252.2 FPS, which is a strong result given the game's multi-player nature with many dynamic elements. The GPU's 8704 shading units and 272 texture mapping units are kept busy, but the frame rate is so high that it begins to approach the CPU's capability ceiling. At 4K Ultra, the same GPU drops to 46.9 FPS, showing that the 10 GB VRAM capacity and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are not sufficient to maintain smooth performance at the highest quality settings and pixel count simultaneously.

The benchmark data for the RTX 3080 shows a passmark G3D score of 25086, which places it in the 80th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro Duo with a score of 35860 (deltaPct of -0.2%), the AMD Radeon 880M at 35646 (deltaPct of 0.4%), the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 36101 (deltaPct of -0.9%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile at 35435 (deltaPct of 1%). These deltas are all within 1%, indicating that the RTX 3080 sits in a tightly contested performance band for compute tasks, though its gaming-specific results in Fivem are what matter most here.

The GPU's transistor count of 28,300 million on a 628 mm² die size contributes to its raw throughput, but Fivem's engine appears to scale more with memory bandwidth and pixel fill rate at higher resolutions. The 164.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 465.1 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient for 1440p gaming, but at 4K Ultra, the load becomes too heavy, resulting in the sub-60 FPS figures observed.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all presets provide playable frame rates, with Low at 252.2 FPS, Medium at 196.6 FPS, High at 158.3 FPS, and Ultra at 123.1 FPS. For competitive play or high refresh rate monitors, the Medium preset offers a good balance, delivering 196.6 FPS while improving visual quality over Low. The High preset at 158.3 FPS is still excellent for 144Hz displays, and even Ultra at 123.1 FPS is smooth enough for most users.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation shifts. Low delivers 166.5 FPS, Medium 127.9 FPS, and High 105.5 FPS, all of which are above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for 144Hz monitors if the user prioritizes frame rate. Ultra drops to 77.5 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant 27% performance hit over High. The data suggests that High at 1440p is the sweet spot, offering 105.5 FPS while retaining good visual fidelity. Medium at 127.9 FPS is the choice for those who prefer higher refresh rates without sacrificing too much quality.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more constrained. Low yields 91.3 FPS, Medium 69.2 FPS, High 57.4 FPS, and Ultra 46.9 FPS. Only Low and Medium achieve frame rates above 60 FPS, making them the viable options for 4K gaming. Medium at 69.2 FPS is the recommended preset for 4K, as it provides a playable experience while maintaining better visuals than Low. High at 57.4 FPS is borderline, and Ultra at 46.9 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay. The measured data clearly indicates that users targeting 4K with this combo should stick to Medium or Low settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ranks 535th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 70th percentile of all combinations, meaning it outperforms about 70% of the systems tested. The rank is a holistic measure that accounts for the CPU and GPU working together, and it reflects the strong performance of this pairing.

The CPU itself ranks in the 83rd percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 26574. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 8024P (score 26555, deltaPct 0.1%), Intel Core i9-11900K (score 26546, deltaPct 0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (score 26617, deltaPct -0.2%), and Intel Core i9-12900HK (score 26672, deltaPct -0.4%). These deltas are negligible, indicating that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is on par with several other high-end processors in general compute, though its gaming performance in Fivem is what drives the overall combo rank.

The GPU's percentile of 80 is slightly higher than the CPU's 83, suggesting that the RTX 3080 is the stronger component in this pairing. The combo rank of 535 out of 1792 is respectable but not top-tier, which aligns with the fact that Fivem is a multiplayer game with unique CPU demands. The data shows that while this combo is not in the top 25% of all tested systems, it still delivers high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, as evidenced by the measured FPS values.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a 5000-series processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a TDP of 105 W. This CPU is notable for its large 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is a key feature for gaming workloads. The benchmark scores for the CPU include a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 24063 and a single-core score of 3397, indicating strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical due to the game's multiplayer nature, where many NPCs, vehicles, and player interactions must be processed. The 8 cores and 16 threads are well-suited to this task, and the high L3 cache helps reduce memory latency. The measured FPS at 1080p Low of 252.2 FPS suggests the CPU is keeping up with the GPU's output, but the scaling drop to 1440p Low (166.5 FPS) indicates that the CPU may be starting to limit performance as the GPU becomes more stressed.

The CPU's passmark multi-thread score is 28309, with a single-thread score of 3234. These results show that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has robust multi-core capabilities, which is beneficial for Fivem's often CPU-bound scenarios. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 7299 and 8-thread score of 5906 further confirm its strength in multi-threaded workloads. The data suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in most Fivem scenarios, except possibly at very high frame rates where the GPU is less stressed, such as at 1080p Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS across settings are as follows: Low 252.2, Medium 196.6, High 158.3, and Ultra 123.1. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decrease of roughly 21-22% per step, indicating that each preset level adds a similar graphical load. The difference between Low and Ultra is 129.1 FPS, which is a 51% reduction, showing the significant impact of quality settings at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages are Low 166.5, Medium 127.9, High 105.5, and Ultra 77.5. The scaling here is steeper, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 89 FPS or 53%. The transition from High to Ultra is particularly pronounced at 28 FPS, or a 27% drop, suggesting that Ultra settings introduce a heavy load that the GPU struggles to sustain. Medium at 127.9 FPS is the best balance between performance and visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the averages are Low 91.3, Medium 69.2, High 57.4, and Ultra 46.9. The drop from Low to Medium is 22.1 FPS, from Medium to High is 11.8 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 10.5 FPS. The scaling is less linear here, with Medium offering a 24% performance reduction over Low, while High and Ultra offer diminishing returns in quality for significant FPS losses. Only Low and Medium exceed 60 FPS, making them the only viable presets for smooth 4K gameplay.

The full dataset shows that this combo is most effective at 1080p and 1440p, where it can maintain high frame rates across all settings. At 4K, the user must make trade-offs, and the measured numbers provide a clear guide: Medium at 69.2 FPS is the recommended choice for a playable experience, while High and Ultra should be avoided unless the user accepts sub-60 FPS performance.
