# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a compelling Fivem experience across all tested resolutions, with the data showing a clear progression from highly playable 4K Ultra at 52 FPS to blistering 1080p Low at 285 FPS. This combo ranks 633rd out of 3,707 tested combinations, placing it in the top 17% of all systems benchmarked in Fivem. The measured results reveal a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, though the relationship between CPU and GPU workload shifts dramatically as pixel count changes.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K tells a revealing story about where the bottleneck lies in this system. At High settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces average FPS from 183 to 120, a 34% decline, while moving from 1440p to 4K further drops performance to 67 FPS, another 44% reduction. This steep scaling curve indicates that at 1080p and even 1440p, the CPU is playing a significant role in limiting frame rates, while 4K shifts the burden firmly onto the GPU.

The Low settings preset amplifies this effect dramatically. At 1080p Low, the system produces 285 FPS, which drops to 191 FPS at 1440p and then to 106 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops between resolutions are remarkably consistent at roughly 33% and 44% respectively, suggesting that the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering pipeline handles the pixel count increase in a predictable manner. However, the absolute headroom at 1080p Low—285 FPS—strongly suggests the CPU is preventing even higher frame rates, as the GPU would likely be capable of more in a lighter scene.

Medium settings provide the only rows with minimum and maximum FPS data, offering insight into frame time consistency. At 4K Medium, the system averages 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 and maximum of 96, a spread of 25 FPS that indicates moderate frame pacing variance. The 1440p Medium row shows 151 average with 128 minimum and 173 maximum, while 1080p Medium hits 229 average with 194 minimum and 263 maximum. The relative spread remains consistent across resolutions, suggesting the game's engine, rather than hardware limits, drives the frame time variability.

Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates across the board, with 4K Ultra at 52 FPS, 1440p Ultra at 93 FPS, and 1080p Ultra at 142 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p Ultra shows a 35% reduction, while 1440p to 4K Ultra shows a 44% drop—nearly identical to the pattern seen at other settings. This consistency across all four presets indicates that Fivem's resolution scaling behaves uniformly regardless of visual complexity, a sign that the game's renderer is well-optimized for pixel throughput.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 633 out of 3,707 tested systems, this pairing sits comfortably in the upper tier of Fivem configurations. The 17th percentile placement means that 83% of tested combos deliver lower performance in this game, though the data also shows there is substantial headroom above this system. The rank reflects a balance between the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's 80th percentile standing among all CPUs and the RTX 4070 SUPER's 83rd percentile among all GPUs, suggesting that neither component dramatically outstrips the other in this workload.

The CPU's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarks provide context for its contribution. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D scores 27,896 in average benchmark score, which is virtually identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U at 27,887 (0% delta) and the Intel Core i9-10900K at 27,872 (0.1% delta). The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 scores 27,932 (a -0.1% delta, meaning the 5800X3D is slightly behind), while the Intel Core i5-12600KF trails at 27,799 (0.3% delta ahead for the 5800X3D). These razor-thin margins demonstrate how competitive this CPU remains despite being from the 5000 series, with its 96 MB shared L3 cache providing a unique advantage in certain workloads.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 43,223 places it alongside some unexpected competitors. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262 (-0.1% delta, meaning the 4070 SUPER is slightly behind), while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile matches at 43,268 (-0.1%). The Quadro M6000 non-24GB version scores 43,301 (-0.2%), and the RTX 4090 Mobile leads at 43,667 (-1%). This clustering suggests that in aggregate synthetic tests, the desktop 4070 SUPER and mobile 4090 perform more similarly than their generational differences might imply, though Fivem's specific workload may favor one over the other.

The combination rank of 633 demonstrates that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts in some ways—both components rank in the low 80s percentile individually, yet the combo places in the 83rd percentile of Fivem-specific results. This indicates that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D's Zen 3 architecture with its 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with the RTX 4070 SUPER's Ada Lovelace design, creates a pairing particularly well-suited to Fivem's multiplayer environment.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimizing the Fivem experience at each resolution. At 4K, High settings at 67 FPS offer the best balance of visual quality and playability, as the jump to Ultra drops performance to 52 FPS—a 22% reduction that may not justify the visual gains. Medium at 84 FPS is also viable for players prioritizing smoothness over fidelity, while Low at 106 FPS serves competitive players who want maximum responsiveness.

For 1440p displays, Ultra settings at 93 FPS hit the sweet spot for visual enthusiasts, providing a fully playable experience that approaches high-refresh territory. Players with 144 Hz or higher monitors might prefer High at 120 FPS, which represents the best combination of image quality and frame rate for most users. The 128 FPS minimum at Medium settings indicates that even in demanding scenes, this configuration stays above common 120 Hz refresh rates, making Medium a safe choice for competitive play.

At 1080p, the system delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Ultra at 142 FPS satisfies high-refresh displays, while High at 183 FPS provides headroom for demanding multiplayer moments. The 194 FPS minimum at Medium settings ensures that even the most chaotic Fivem servers remain fluid. Low settings at 285 FPS approach the limits of what most displays can show, making this preset ideal for esports-focused players who prioritize raw frame rate over visuals.

The data suggests that 1440p Ultra at 93 FPS represents the best overall experience for most users, as it balances the visual richness of higher resolutions with the smoothness of high frame rates. However, the 52 FPS at 4K Ultra may disappoint those with 120 Hz or higher displays, as the frame rate falls below the refresh threshold, potentially causing judder in fast-paced scenes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings yield 285 FPS average, Medium delivers 229 FPS with a minimum of 194 and maximum of 263, High reaches 183 FPS, and Ultra achieves 142 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 143 FPS, representing a 50% reduction in performance when maximizing visual quality—a substantial cost that players must weigh against the visual benefits.

The 2560x1440 results show a consistent step down from 1080p. Low settings deliver 191 FPS, Medium averages 151 FPS with a range of 128 to 173, High produces 120 FPS, and Ultra drops to 93 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 98 FPS, slightly less than at 1080p in absolute terms but comparable in percentage, with Ultra delivering 51% of Low's performance.

At 3840x2160, the system's performance becomes more modest. Low settings still manage a respectable 106 FPS, Medium averages 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 and maximum of 96, High achieves 67 FPS, and Ultra falls to 52 FPS. The 54 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K represents a 51% reduction, mirroring the scaling seen at lower resolutions. The minimum FPS of 71 at 4K Medium is particularly noteworthy, as it indicates that even the lowest frame rates remain above the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the baseline for smooth gameplay.

Across all resolutions, the Medium settings rows provide the only complete FPS data with minimum and maximum values. The spread between minimum and maximum remains consistent at roughly 25-30% of the average across all three resolutions, suggesting that Fivem's frame time distribution is stable regardless of pixel count. This consistency implies that the game's performance profile is well-behaved and predictable, with no sudden spikes in frame time variance at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER brings substantial rendering power to this combination, with its AD104 chip built on TSMC's 5 nm process containing 35,800 million transistors. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming at all tested resolutions. The 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores indicate that the architecture is prepared for ray-traced workloads, though Fivem's traditional rasterization pipeline appears to benefit more from the 7,168 shading units operating at boost clocks up to 2475 MHz.

The GPU's benchmark results place it in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 29,995 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4,627. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 172,795 and Vulkan score of 205,624 demonstrate strong compute capabilities that may benefit multiplayer environments with numerous dynamic entities. The 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 554.4 GTexel/s texture rate provide ample headroom for the complex scenes typical of Fivem servers.

The memory configuration deserves particular attention in the context of Fivem's open-world multiplayer nature. The 12 GB VRAM capacity at 504.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and geometry loading remain fluid even during high-speed traversal or dense urban areas. The GPU's 80 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s, which becomes the limiting factor at 4K resolution where the pixel count quadruples compared to 1080p. This explains the consistent ~44% performance drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings—the ROP throughput and memory bandwidth dictate the ceiling at higher resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D represents a unique entry in the 5000 series, built on Zen 3 architecture with 8 cores and 16 threads. Its standout feature is the 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which dramatically exceeds the typical 32 MB found in other Ryzen 5000 parts. This large cache proves particularly beneficial in Fivem's multiplayer environment, where numerous player characters, vehicles, and world objects require frequent data access. The CPU's base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.50 GHz, combined with its 105W TDP, deliver strong single-threaded performance—evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 884 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,452.

The CPU's benchmark profile reveals its strengths in both lightly and heavily threaded workloads. Its 3DMark 16-thread score of 7,299 and max-thread score of 7,285 show that the 8-core/16-thread configuration scales well up to 16 threads, while the 2-thread score of 1,746 and 4-thread score of 3,392 indicate robust performance in scenarios with fewer active threads. Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14,317 and Geekbench multicore score of 11,765 place it competitively among its nearest rivals, with the 0-0.3% delta margins to the Core i9-10900K and Ryzen 7 6800U highlighting how close these CPUs are in aggregate performance.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role becomes most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. The 285 FPS result at 1080p Low suggests that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is capable of feeding the RTX 4070 SUPER with enough draw calls and physics updates to maintain extremely high frame rates. However, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings (285 to 191 FPS, a 33% drop) hints that even this CPU cannot fully saturate the GPU at lower pixel counts, as the GPU's rendering load increases faster than the CPU's workload. The 96 MB L3 cache likely helps maintain consistent frame rates in crowded server scenarios, where other CPUs might experience stuttering due to cache misses when accessing world state data.
