Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that places unique demands on both processor and graphics hardware, and the measured results for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reveal a system that scales predictably with resolution while retaining substantial headroom at lower settings. The dataset shows a clear trend: this combination is overwhelmingly capable at 1080p and 1440p, but begins to show the expected strain of 4K rendering at higher visual presets. The CPU, a Zen 3 Vermeer part with 8 cores and 16 threads, provides a strong foundation, evidenced by its 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23794 points, while the GPU, a Blackwell 2.0 part with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, sits in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The interaction of these two components across the measured FPS data forms the basis of this analysis.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, which is the expected signature of a system where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. At the Low preset, the average frame rate falls from 312.7 FPS at 1920x1080 to 114 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a 63.5% reduction in performance. This massive drop indicates that while the CPU can easily feed frames at lower resolutions, the RTX 5070 Ti's rendering workload at 4K is the limiting factor. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is also significant, dropping from 208.6 FPS to 114 FPS, a 45.3% decrease, which further reinforces the GPU-bound nature of the workload at the highest resolution.

However, the pattern shifts when examining the higher presets. At the Ultra preset, the frame rate drops from 153.1 FPS at 1080p to 103.8 FPS at 1440p, and then to 53.5 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 53.5 FPS is the lowest in the entire dataset, and the gap between 1440p and 4K here (48.5% reduction) is larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p (32.2% reduction). This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that are disproportionately expensive at higher resolutions, such as advanced shading and texture filtering, which saturate the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth. The 896.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth on the RTX 5070 Ti is substantial, but the data shows it is still not enough to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra.

The data also reveals that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's strong multi-threaded performance, with a 3DMark max threads score of 7680 and a Passmark multithread score of 27988, ensures that it can keep up with the GPU's output at 1080p and 1440p. For instance, the 312.7 FPS result at 1080p Low is exceptionally high, indicating that the CPU is capable of handling the game's simulation and network code at high frame rates. It is only at 4K, particularly at Ultra settings, where the GPU's raw pixel throughput becomes the definitive bottleneck, dropping the experience to below 60 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this specific hardware combination is at 2560x1440 with the High preset, which delivers an average of 128.5 FPS. This represents the best balance between visual fidelity and performance, as it is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay while still providing a significant visual upgrade over the Medium preset. The 1440p High result is also more stable than the 1440p Ultra result of 103.8 FPS, suggesting that the High preset avoids the most demanding effects that cause the frame rate to drop by 19.2% when moving from High to Ultra.

For users with a 1080p display, the Medium preset at 253.3 FPS is the recommended choice. This setting provides a high enough frame rate to fully utilize a high-refresh-rate monitor, and it offers a 20% improvement over the High preset's 202.5 FPS without a substantial visual compromise. The Low preset at 312.7 FPS is only recommended for competitive play where maximum frame rate is paramount, as the visual quality loss is likely significant. The data suggests that the Ultra preset at 1080p (153.1 FPS) is not worth the performance cost, as it is 39.5% slower than Medium while likely offering diminishing visual returns.

At 4K, the results are more nuanced. The Medium preset at 90.7 FPS is the only playable option that maintains a high refresh rate experience. The High preset at 72.9 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the drop to 53.5 FPS at Ultra makes that preset unsuitable for a smooth experience on this hardware. Therefore, for 4K displays, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation, as it stays comfortably above 60 FPS while the High preset begins to approach the threshold where frame time consistency may become an issue.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset provides a detailed view of performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset achieves the highest average of 312.7 FPS, followed by the Medium preset at 253.3 FPS, the High preset at 202.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset at 153.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 51% reduction in frame rate, which is a substantial cost for the highest visual settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains very strong. The Low preset averages 208.6 FPS, which is a 33.3% drop from the 1080p Low result. The Medium preset delivers 168 FPS, while the High preset achieves 128.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 103.8 FPS is the only result in this resolution that falls below the 120 FPS mark, indicating that the Ultra settings are more demanding than the GPU can handle at this resolution to maintain a high refresh rate.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly, as expected. The Low preset averages 114 FPS, which is still a playable frame rate, but it represents a 45.3% drop from the 1440p Low result. The Medium preset averages 90.7 FPS, and the High preset averages 72.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 53.5 FPS is the only measurement in the entire dataset that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the only configuration where the game may feel noticeably less smooth. The data clearly shows a linear progression of performance loss with each increase in resolution, with the most severe impact seen at the Ultra preset.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti plays a central role in the Fivem performance profile, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory is a significant asset, as it allows the card to handle large texture sets and high-resolution assets without running into memory capacity limits. The 256-bit memory bus and 896.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth are also crucial for maintaining high throughput, especially when rendering at 4K where data transfer demands are highest. The benchmark data shows that the GPU's performance is consistent with its 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 52086 places it on par with the RTX 4080.

The clock speeds of the RTX 5070 Ti, with a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2452 MHz, contribute to its raw compute power. The GPU's FP32 performance of 43.94 TFLOPS is a strong indicator of its ability to handle complex shading and geometry calculations. However, the measured FPS data suggests that despite this compute power, the GPU still becomes the bottleneck at 4K Ultra, as the frame rate drops to 53.5 FPS. This is likely due to the combination of the game's engine demands and the sheer number of pixels that need to be processed at 4K. The GPU's texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s are high, but they are not sufficient to maintain a 60 FPS average at the highest settings and resolution in this test.

The GPU's relationship with the CPU is also evident in the data. At lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU is able to feed frames faster than the GPU can render them, leading to the high FPS numbers. As the resolution increases, the GPU's rendering time becomes the dominant factor, and the FPS drops accordingly. This is a classic sign of a balanced system where the GPU is the primary performance limiter for graphically intensive tasks, while the CPU provides ample headroom for the game's logic and simulation. The RTX 5070 Ti's performance in this title is strong, but the data confirms that even a top-tier GPU will face challenges at 4K with the most demanding presets.
