Fivem

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 242 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low preset drops that figure to 159 FPS, a reduction of 83 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 88 FPS. This progression from 242 to 159 to 88 represents a substantial performance cost as pixel count rises, but the relative drop between 1080p and 1440p (about 34%) is slightly less steep than the drop between 1440p and 4K (about 45%). This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is providing a high ceiling that the GPU can exploit, but as resolution climbs, the GPU becomes increasingly burdened by pixel throughput demands.

Looking at the High preset, the same pattern emerges with different absolute numbers. At 1080p High, the average is 153 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 101 FPS. At 4K High, it falls to 56 FPS. The scaling factor from 1080p to 4K at High settings is roughly 2.7x fewer frames per second, which is close to the theoretical pixel count increase from 1080p to 4K (about 4x). This indicates that the RX 6800 XT is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, as the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames at lower resolutions but cannot compensate for the GPU's raw pixel-pushing limits.

The data reveals an interesting nuance at Medium settings. At 1080p Medium, the average is 191 FPS, with a minimum of 162 FPS and maximum of 220 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 126 FPS, with a minimum of 107 FPS and maximum of 145 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and maximum of 80 FPS. The variance between minimum and maximum at each resolution is consistent, roughly 30% of the average at 1080p and 1440p, and about 30% at 4K as well. This consistent frame-time spread suggests that Fivem's multiplayer nature introduces occasional stutters or frame hitches regardless of resolution, which is typical for a game with dynamic player-driven scenarios.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and the user's preference for frame rate versus visual quality. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 242 FPS, which is extremely high and well beyond what most displays can refresh. The Medium preset at 1080p produces 191 FPS average, still exceptionally smooth. The High preset at 1080p yields 153 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 119 FPS. For competitive play where maximum frame rate is paramount, Low at 1080p provides the highest headroom, but Medium offers a substantial visual upgrade while maintaining an average above 190 FPS. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is not the bottleneck; even at Ultra, the 119 FPS average is far above typical 60 Hz display refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset produces an average of 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS)Skip, which is sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors. High at 1440p yields 101 FPS average, which is also playable on 100 Hz or 120 Hz displays. Low at 1440p gives 159 FPS, but the visual compromise may not be worth it for most users. Ultra at 1440p drops to 78 FPS average, which is still acceptable for slower-paced gameplay but may feel less smooth in fast action. The recommended setting at 1440p is Medium, as it offers the best balance between frame rate and visual fidelity, with a minimum FPS of 107 ensuring consistent performance.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes significantly. Medium produces an average of 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS, which is right at the edge of playability for 60 Hz displays. High at 4K drops to 56 FPS average, which will feel choppy on a 60 Hz display. Low at 4K gives 88 FPS, but the visual quality is heavily reduced. Ultra at 4K is only 43 FPS, which is not recommended for smooth gameplay. For 4K, Medium is the best choice if the user can tolerate occasional dips to 59 FPS, but Low may be necessary for a more stable experience above 60 FPS. The data indicates that this combo is not ideal for 4K gaming at high settings, but Medium provides a workable option.
