Q: Which settings preset offers the best balance of quality and performance at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 81.8 FPS, while Medium achieves 101.4 FPS. The Medium preset provides a substantial frame rate advantage over High while maintaining reasonable visual quality, making it the recommended choice for 1440p.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more limiting in this game?

A: The performance scaling suggests the GPU becomes the primary limiter at higher resolutions. From 1080p Low (191.5 FPS) to 4K Low (70 FPS), the frame rate drops by roughly 63%, while the CPU's 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.80 GHz boost clock keeps single-threaded performance strong enough to avoid CPU bottlenecks in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT brings 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming demands at all tested resolutions. The GPU's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs operate at a base clock of 2321 MHz, a game clock of 2424 MHz, and a boost clock of 2581 MHz. These clock speeds allow the card to scale performance across the four settings presets, with the data showing that Fivem's graphical load responds predictably to GPU clock adjustments.

The 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power and 413.0 GTexel/s texture rate handle Fivem's draw calls and texture work effectively. The 40 ray accelerators provide RT capabilities, though Fivem's benchmark results don't specifically isolate ray tracing performance. The GPU's 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate supports the 4K resolution measurements, where even the Low preset at 70 FPS demonstrates that the card can sustain meaningful output at high pixel counts when graphical effects are reduced.

The RX 6700 XT's benchmark percentile of 77 indicates it sits above the midpoint of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the RX 6800, which is 0.7% faster in average score, and the RTX A5000 at 1.3% faster. This positioning suggests the GPU provides dependable mid-to-high-end performance for Fivem, with the measured FPS figures confirming that the card's memory bandwidth and compute resources are well-matched to the game's requirements.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data presents a clear settings hierarchy at each resolution. For 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 191.5 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium follows at 151.6 FPS, High at 119.5 FPS, and Ultra at 95.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 96.3 FPS, indicating that Fivem's graphical settings have a substantial impact on frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 125.3 FPS, which remains excellent for high-refresh monitors. Medium drops to 101.4 FPS, High to 81.8 FPS, and Ultra to 63 FPS. The 1440p Medium preset offers the best balance, providing over 100 FPS while maintaining visual fidelity above the minimum settings. For 3840x2160, only the Low preset at 70 FPS achieves consistently smooth gameplay, with Medium at 53 FPS being borderline and High at 45.5 FPS falling short of ideal responsiveness.

For users prioritizing frame rate over visuals, the Low preset at 1080p or 1440p is the clear choice. Those seeking a quality compromise should select Medium at 1440p, which delivers 101.4 FPS and avoids the steep performance penalties of High and Ultra. The Ultra preset is only viable at 1080p, where 95.2 FPS remains playable, but it exacts a heavy toll at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full settings range is available. Low delivers 191.5 FPS, Medium 151.6 FPS, High 119.5 FPS, and Ultra 95.2 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent 20-30 FPS drop per settings tier, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High at 32.1 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale downward as expected. Low achieves 125.3 FPS, Medium 101.4 FPS, High 81.8 FPS, and Ultra 63 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 62.3 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p difference of 96.3 FPS. Notably, the 1440p Medium result of 101.4 FPS is higher than the 1080p Ultra result of 95.2 FPS, demonstrating that resolution has a smaller impact than settings at these levels.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes more constrained. Low delivers 70 FPS, Medium 53 FPS, High 45.5 FPS, and Ultra 34.6 FPS. The 4K results show that even the Low preset cannot match the frame rates of the 1440p Ultra preset, indicating that pixel count becomes the dominant factor at this resolution. The Ultra preset at 4K produces the lowest measured result in the dataset at 34.6 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 191.5 FPS at 1080p to 125.3 FPS at 1440p and 70 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34.6% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 63.4% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The pixel count increases by 77.8% from 1080p to 1440p and by 300% from 1080p to 4K, showing that frame rate scaling is not linear with pixel count.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is similar: 95.2 FPS at 1080p, 63 FPS at 1440p, and 34.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is only 36.3% of the 1080p Ultra figure, which indicates that the RX 6700 XT's 384.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 13.21 TFLOPS compute capacity are stretched thin at high pixel counts with maximum graphical effects.

The data suggests the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in these scaling tests. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's single-thread score of 959 in 3DMark and 3359 in Cinebench R23 indicates strong per-core performance, which helps maintain frame rates at lower resolutions. However, the significant frame rate drops at 4K point to the GPU's rendering capacity as the limiting component, particularly when settings are raised to High or Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 Vermeer architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.80 GHz deliver strong single-threaded performance, which is critical for Fivem's multiplayer workloads that often rely on individual core performance. The 32 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth support the CPU's ability to feed the GPU with data.

Benchmark results show the CPU's capabilities: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794 and single-core score of 3359, along with a 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and 16-thread score of 7683. The passmark multithread score of 27988 and single-thread score of 3538 confirm balanced performance across both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The CPU's 86th percentile ranking among all processors places it above the majority of available CPUs.

The nearest rival comparisons show the 5800XT is well-positioned. It outperforms the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE by 0.1% and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 by 0.3%, while trailing the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840H by 0.3% each. These small deltas indicate that the 5800XT's performance is essentially on par with several modern mobile and desktop processors, providing consistent frame delivery in Fivem's varied multiplayer scenarios.

The CPU's role in Fivem is evident from the 1080p Low result of 191.5 FPS, which suggests that the processor can drive very high frame rates when the GPU is not significantly loaded. As resolution increases and GPU load grows, the CPU's contribution becomes less critical, but its 8-core setup ensures that background processes and multiplayer server communication do not create frame time spikes.
