Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer-focused title that stresses both CPU and GPU depending on the resolution and settings selected. The measured data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination reveals a system that delivers high frame rates at 1080p but requires careful settings management to maintain smooth performance at higher resolutions. The following analysis breaks down the measured results, focusing on how the components interact and where the bottlenecks lie.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, indicating a shift in the primary performance limiter. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 225.1 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings reduces that figure to 146.9 FPS, a steep 34.7% decline. At 4K Low, the average further falls to 79.6 FPS, representing a 64.6% reduction from the 1080p result. This scaling pattern shows that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as pixel count increases.

The trend persists across all settings presets. With High settings, the average frame rate goes from 142 FPS at 1080p to 93.5 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 53 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 62.7%, which is slightly less severe than the Low preset but still pronounced. The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic degradation, falling from 110.5 FPS at 1080p to 70.7 FPS at 1440p and then to 40 FPS at 4K, a 63.8% total reduction.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the system has enough headroom that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output, but the gap narrows as resolution rises. The 4K results, particularly the 40 FPS figure at Ultra, indicate that the RTX 3070 Ti is working near its limits. This is a typical pattern for a high-end CPU paired with a mid-to-high-end GPU; the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample compute for the game's logic, while the GPU's 8 GB of memory and 608.3 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800XT and RTX 3070 Ti ranks 714th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all possible pairings, which is a logical position given the hardware's specifications. The CPU itself sits in the 86th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is in the 74th percentile among all graphics cards, so their combined ranking is slightly below what either component achieves individually.

This discrepancy suggests that the pairing is not perfectly balanced for this specific game. The CPU's strong multi-threaded performance, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794, is not fully utilized because the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 1080p, where the GPU has more room to operate, the combo's ranking would likely be higher, but the overall 4K performance drags the combined standing down.

The nearest CPU rivals show a tight cluster of scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is 0.1% ahead, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is 0.3% behind. This indicates that the 5800XT is well-positioned among its peers, and any performance differences in-game would be negligible. The GPU rivals show a similar pattern, with the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME being 0.3% ahead and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 being 0.8% behind, confirming that the RTX 3070 Ti is right at the expected performance level for its class.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture using an 8 nm process from Samsung. It features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units, along with 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores. The card's memory configuration consists of 8 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s. The base clock is 1575 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and memory runs at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective).

In Fivem, the GPU's role is clearly demonstrated by the scaling from Low to Ultra settings. At 1080p, the difference between Low (225.1 FPS) and Ultra (110.5 FPS) is 114.6 FPS, showing that the card has significant headroom to render more complex scenes. However, at 4K, the same settings gap narrows to 39.6 FPS (from 79.6 to 40), indicating that the card is running out of compute and memory bandwidth. The 8 GB VRAM capacity may also be a factor at 4K Ultra, as the game likely requires close to that amount for high-resolution textures.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 21.75 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s are strong on paper, but the 4K results show that these capabilities are not sufficient for consistent high-refresh gaming in this title. The measured data indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem, where it can maintain frame rates above 70 FPS even at Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the High preset offers an average of 142 FPS, which is a good balance between visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset drops to 110.5 FPS, which is still playable, but the 31.5 FPS reduction may not justify the visual gains. The Low preset at 225.1 FPS is excessive for most displays, as it exceeds the refresh rate of typical monitors.

At 1440p, the Medium preset provides 119.4 FPS, which is the best option for maintaining a smooth experience while preserving some visual fidelity. The High preset at 93.5 FPS is also acceptable, but it falls below the 100 FPS threshold that many gamers prefer. The Ultra preset at 70.7 FPS is borderline, and the Low preset at 146.9 FPS is again more than necessary for most users.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the only viable option, delivering 67 FPS. The High preset at 53 FPS is playable but not ideal, and the Ultra preset at 40 FPS is too low for smooth gameplay. The Low preset at 79.6 FPS is the best performer, but the visual quality trade-off is significant. The data suggests that 4K gaming with this combo requires sacrificing settings to achieve playable frame rates, and users should prioritize Medium or Low presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across nine combinations of resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low averages 225.1 FPS, Medium averages 176.5 FPS, High averages 142 FPS, and Ultra averages 110.5 FPS. The scaling between presets is linear, with each step up costing roughly 30-40 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 146.9 FPS for Low, 119.4 FPS for Medium, 93.5 FPS for High, and 70.7 FPS for Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across presets, averaging about 35-40% reduction. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 76.2 FPS, which is smaller than the 114.6 FPS gap at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 79.6 FPS for Low, 67 FPS for Medium, 53 FPS for High, and 40 FPS for Ultra. The performance cliff is evident here, as even the Low preset struggles to reach 80 FPS. The difference between Medium and High at 4K is only 14 FPS, suggesting that the GPU's compute resources are saturated and additional settings have diminishing returns. The Ultra preset at 40 FPS is the worst result in the entire dataset, confirming that 4K Ultra is not a viable option for this combination.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a Zen 3 architecture processor built on a 7 nm process from TSMC. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 32 MB L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p, where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. The fact that the combo achieves 225.1 FPS at 1080p Low indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data to sustain high frame rates. The 5800XT's strong single-thread performance, demonstrated by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359 and 3DMark single-thread score of 959, is crucial for this game's multiplayer logic and physics calculations.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are less critical in this title, as evidenced by the fact that the 1080p Ultra result of 110.5 FPS is still well below the CPU's potential. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794 and the PassMark multithread score of 27988 show that the CPU has ample headroom, but the game does not appear to scale well beyond 8 threads. The 5800XT's position in the 86th percentile among CPUs confirms that it is a strong performer, and its nearest rivals (e.g., Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at 0.1% ahead, Ryzen 7 6800HS at 0.3% behind) show that it is well-matched against other high-end processors. However, the overall combo rank of 714 out of 1792 suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this pairing; the GPU's performance ceiling at higher resolutions is what holds the system back.
