Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers a wide range of frame rates in Fivem, from 66 FPS at 4K Ultra to 285 FPS at 1080p Low. This data, measured across 12 resolution and settings combinations, shows a system that can easily handle high-refresh 1080p and 1440p play while maintaining playable performance at 4K. The 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5800X3D and the 24 GB GeForce RTX 4090 produce results that place this combo at rank 174 out of 3,707 tested combinations, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of systems in this multiplayer title.

Settings Recommendations

Choosing the right settings for Fivem depends heavily on the resolution of the monitor. At 1080p, the data shows that even the Low preset produces 285 FPS, which is the highest average recorded in any configuration. Medium at 1080p delivers 262 FPS, while High reaches 232 FPS. Ultra drops to 180 FPS, but that remains a very high refresh rate. For players with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is the best experience—the 180 FPS average is still far beyond typical 144 Hz monitor capabilities, and the visual quality improvement from High to Ultra is substantial. The 285 FPS at Low does not offer any practical benefit over 180 FPS unless a display supports refresh rates above 180 Hz.

At 1440p, the measured results show a similar pattern with lower absolute numbers. High averages 153 FPS, Medium 191 FPS, Low 242 FPS, and Ultra 119 FPS. For 1440p, the High preset at 153 FPS is the sensible choice—it balances a high frame rate with a large visual upgrade over Low. If a display is only 60 Hz, Ultra at 119 FPS is also perfectly viable. The 1440p Medium setting at 191 FPS is ideal for high-refresh 1440p monitors, as it stays above the 165 Hz threshold. Low at 242 FPS is unnecessary for most displays.

At 4K, the performance picture shifts. The data shows High at 85 FPS, Medium at 106 FPS, Low at 135 FPS, and Ultra at 66 FPS. For a 60 Hz 4K display, the Medium preset is the best experience—106 FPS provides a comfortable margin above 60, and the Medium visual quality is a notable step up from Low. High at 85 FPS is also smooth, but Medium's higher frame rate creates more consistent motion. Ultra at 66 FPS is very close to the 60 Hz refresh limit and is the most demanding; it is only recommended for those who prioritize visuals over headroom. The 4K Low preset at 135 FPS is intended for high-refresh 4K displays, though those are rare.

Overall, the data indicates that the sweet spot for this combination is the High preset at most resolutions when seeking 60+ FPS. For 1080p, Ultra delivers 180 FPS and is the best experience. For 1440p, High balances the 153 FPS average with visual quality. For 4K, Medium provides 106 FPS with the best mix of visual fidelity and performance. These settings leverage the strength of the RTX 4090 without pushing it past its limits.

GPU Role

The GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this system. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth, which is far beyond what Fivem requires. The 16384 shading units and 176 ROPs handle the game's rendering with ease, as shown by the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The GPU's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 512 tensor cores place it in the top percentile of all GPUs—the benchmark data shows an 88th percentile ranking. The nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark are the Intel Arc Pro A60 and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48, with the RTX 4090 scoring 60347 average versus 60326 and 60140, respectively. That 0.3% margin over the Radeon Pro Vega 48 is tiny, but in game the performance delta is much larger due to driver optimizations.

The RTX 4090's clock speeds are significant. The base clock is 2235 MHz and the boost clock is 2520 MHz. These high clocks, combined with the 5 nm process, result in a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s. These figures explain why the GPU can push 285 FPS at 1080p Low—the texture units are operating at a rate that far exceeds the game's needs. The 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth is crucial for 4K textures, but Fivem does not appear to be memory-bandwidth limited at the tested settings.

The GPU's role is most apparent when moving from 4K to 1080p. At 4K High, the average FPS is 85. At 1080p High, the average is 232. The frame rate nearly triples as resolution drops, which indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low and Medium, the frame rates saturate at 285 and 262, which suggests that the CPU may be limiting performance in those scenarios. However, the RTX 4090 is so fast that it never holds the system back at lower resolutions. The data shows a GPU that is underutilized at 1080p but fully utilized at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how performance scales with resolution. Starting at 1080p High with 232 FPS, moving to 1440p High reduces the average to 153 FPS—a 34% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K High, the FPS drops from 153 to 85, a further 44% decrease. In total, from 1080p High to 4Kp High, the frame rate falls from 232 to 85, a 63% reduction. The pixel count increases more than that—1080p has about 2 million pixels, 1440p has 3.7 million, and 4K has 8.3 million—so the frame rate drops are not perfectly proportional. This indicates that the RTX 4090 can scale with pixel count, but the game's engine and CPU also influence the results.

The same pattern holds across other settings. At Medium, 1080p averages 262 FPS, 1440p 191 FPS, and 4Kp 106 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4Kp is 44%, and from 1080p to 1440p is 27%. At Low, 1080p 285 FPS, 1440p 242 FPS, 4Kp 135 FPS. The 4Kp Low result is only 47% of the 1080p Low result, which shows that even at Low settings, 4Kp is heavily GPU-bound. At Ultra, 1080p 180 FPS, 1440p 119 FPS, 4Kp 66 FPS—the 4Kp Ultra is just 37% of the 1080p Ultra.

The scaling behavior at 1080p is telling. The difference between 1080p Low (285 FPS) and 1080p Medium (262 FPS) is only 8%, and 1080p High is 232 FPS, 18% less than Low. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is partially limiting the frame rate. The 5800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads can deliver a high frame rate, but the game engine's single-threaded load may cap the maximum at around 285 FPS. The RTX 4090 is not the bottleneck at 1080p. At 1440p and 4Kp, the GPU becomes the primary limiter, as evidenced by the larger performance drops when increasing resolution.

The limiting component shifts from the CPU at low resolution to the GPU at high resolution. At 1080p, the RTX 4090 is powerful enough to keep up with the CPU, so the frame rate is capped by the CPU. At 4Kp, the GPU's 85 FPS at High is a full load, and the CPU has headroom. This is a classic resolution-scaling curve for a high-end CPU/GPU pairing.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and RTX 4090 in Fivem?

A: For maximum frame rate, 1080p Low delivers 285 FPS. For a balance of visuals and performance, 1440p High at 153 FPS or 4K Medium at 106 FPS are excellent choices. The 1440p High and 4K Medium settings both maintain frame rates well above 60 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4090's 24 GB of VRAM affect Fivem?

A: The 24 GB of GDDR6X memory is far more than Fivem requires. The game's most demanding setting—4K Ultra—uses enough VRAM that the 24 GB capacity is a non-issue. The 1.01 TB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming at 4K is smooth, but the memory size is not the limiting factor in any of the tested configurations.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5800X3D a bottleneck in this system?

A: At 1080p Low and Medium, the frame rates of 285 and 262 FPS suggest a CPU limit—the GPU is so fast that the CPU cannot push higher. At 4Kp, the GPU is the bottleneck, with frame rates dropping to 85 FPS at High. The 5800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.5 GHz, provide enough single-thread performance to avoid a major CPU bottleneck in most scenarios.

Q: What is the difference in FPS between 1080p and 4K?

A: At High settings, 1080p uses 232 FPS, 1440p uses 153 FPS, and 4Kp uses 85 FPS. The 4Kp result is 63% lower than 1080p. At Ultra, 1080p is 180 FPS and 4Kp is 66 FPS, a 63% reduction. This shows the GPU load increase is significant at 4K.

Q: How does the RTX 4090's 4090's performance compare to its rivals?

A: The RTX 4090's average benchmark score is 60347, which is only 0.3% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (60140) and 0% higher than the Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326). However, in the Fivem measured data, the 4090 produces frame rates that are much higher than typical GPUs, so these benchmark scores are not directly comparable to game frame rates.

Q: Does the RTX 4090's 4090's 24 GB VRAM make a difference at 4K?

A: At 4K Medium, the average FPS is 106, and at 4K High it is 85. The VRAM is not a limiting factor—the GPU's computing power is. The 24 GB capacity is overkill for Fivem, but it ensures future-proofing for more demanding games.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers 12 combinations of resolution and settings. All frame rates are averages, with some configurations also providing 1% low and 1% high values.

At 1920x1080, the highest performance is at Low with 285 FPS average. Medium reaches 262 FPS, with a min of 222 and a max of 301. High averages 232 FPS, and Ultra 180 FPS. The 1080p results show a narrow gap between Low and Medium—only 23 FPS—while the gap from High to Ultra is 52 FPS. This indicates that the Ultra preset is a significant graphical upgrade that costs frame rate.

At 2560x1440, Low reaches 242 FPS, Medium averages 191 FPS (min 163, max 220), High 153 FPS, and Ultra 119 FPS. The 1440p results show a more even scaling than 1080p, with each step dropping about 30-40 FPS. The Ultra preset at 119 FPS is still a high frame rate, but it is nearly half of the Low settings.

At 3840x2160, the performance is more constrained. Low averages 135 FPS, Medium 106 FPS (min 90, max 122), High 85 FPS, and Ultra 66 FPS. The 4Kp results show a sharper decline between settings—the gap from Low to Medium is 29 FPS, from Medium to High is 21 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 19 FPS. The Ultra setting at 66 FPS is the most demanding of all tested.

The min/max data is only available for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the min is 222 FPS and the max is 301 FPS. At 1440p Medium, min 163 FPS and max 220 FPS. At 4K Medium, min 90 FPS and max 122 FPS. The min FPS values are important for gameplay smoothness—for example, the 4K Medium min of 90 FPS is still above 60, providing a comfortable experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. Its base clock is 3.4 GHz and its boost clock is 4.5 GHz. It has 96 MB of L3 cache, which is shared across all cores—this is a distinctive feature of the X3D series. The CPU's performance is also represented by its benchmark scores: a Geekbench single-core score of 2017 and a multi-core score of 11765. In Cinebench R23, it scores 14317 multi-core and 1452 single-core. These scores place the CPU in the 80th percentile of all CPUs.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 285, which is likely at the CPU's limit for the game engine. The 5800X3D's 16 threads and 4.5 GHz boost clock help maintain a high frame rate, but nothing above 285 FPS is measured. At 1080p Medium, the FPS is 262, and at High 232, which shows that the CPU is not a hard bottleneck until the game settings increase. At 1440p and 4Kp, the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck, so the CPU has more headroom.

The CPU's 96 MB L3 cache is a unique feature that provides a performance boost in many games, including multiplayer titles like Fivem. The cache improves the CPU's ability to handle the game's code and data, reducing memory latency. This is reflected in the CPU's 3DMark 8-thread score of 5906 and the passmark physics score of 2884. In a multiplayer environment with many players and dynamic objects, the 5800X3D's cache is beneficial. The benchmark results show that this CPU is well-suited for Fivem's CPU-intensive scenarios.

The CPU's nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (27887 avg score), Intel Core i9-10900K (27872), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (27932). The 5800X3D's avg score of 27896 is nearly equal to these, showing a close competition. However, in game, the 5800X3D's 3D V-Cache is a differentiator that the general benchmark scores may not capture. The 8 cores and 16 threads are enough for Fivem, and the 4.5 GHz boost clock ensures that single-threaded performance is sufficient. The CPU's role is to deliver high frame rates at 1080p and to provide a stable foundation at higher resolutions, which it does.
