Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB produces a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics presets. The data shows a system that can deliver playable frame rates at 1080p but struggles significantly as resolution increases, placing the combo in the lower percentile of tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep and consistent performance drop as resolution scales from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p with High settings, the combo achieves an average of 69 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same High preset drops the average to 45.5 FPS, a reduction of approximately 34%. At 3840x2160, the average falls to 23.8 FPS, which is just 34.5% of the 1080p performance. This scaling pattern indicates a GPU-bound scenario where the rendering load quickly overwhelms the graphics card.

The Low preset tells a similar story but with higher absolute numbers. At 1080p Low, the average is 109.7 FPS, dropping to 74.7 FPS at 1440p and then to 39.3 FPS at 4K. The relative drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is about 64%, which is slightly less severe than the High preset's drop of 65.5%. This suggests that even at the lowest settings, the RTX 3050 4 GB cannot avoid a substantial penalty at 4K, confirming that the GPU's rendering capacity is the primary limiting factor.

The Medium preset shows an interesting midpoint: 91.4 FPS at 1080p, 57.6 FPS at 1440p, and 30 FPS at 4K. The 4K result at Medium is exactly 30 FPS, which is a round number that suggests the hardware is hitting a hard performance ceiling rather than a smooth scaling curve. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, delivering 52.8 FPS at 1080p, 37.8 FPS at 1440p, and a marginal 19.3 FPS at 4K. Across all presets, the step from 1440p to 4K produces a larger frame rate loss than the step from 1080p to 1440p, indicating that the 4K resolution imposes a disproportionately heavy load.

The data points to the GPU as the limiting component. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is unlikely to be the bottleneck at these resolutions, as the frame rate scales almost linearly with pixel count. The 4K results, which hover below 40 FPS even at Low settings, are a clear indication that the 4 GB VRAM and the GPU's compute throughput are insufficient for this game at that resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a Zen 4 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock of 3.80 GHz, and boost clock of 5.30 GHz. Its benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29302 and a single-core score of 4136. The 3DMark tests further illustrate this: 16-thread score of 8484 and a single-thread score of 1049. This CPU is positioned in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40468.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU. The measured FPS differences across presets at a fixed resolution are substantial, which is typical of a GPU-limited scenario. For example, at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 56.9 FPS (109.7 vs. 52.8). If the CPU were the bottleneck, this gap would be much smaller, as the CPU would deliver similar frame rates regardless of graphics settings. The fact that the frame rate changes so much with settings confirms that the CPU is providing enough headroom for the GPU to be the deciding factor.

The 8-core configuration is well-suited for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which often requires handling multiple player states and network data. The PassMark multithread score of 34470 and the data compression score of 405084 suggest that the CPU can handle background tasks and game logic without issue. The CPU's 32 MB shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide a solid foundation. The nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H with an average score of 40431 (0.1% delta) and the Intel Core i9-13905H with 40712 (-0.6% delta), show that the 7700 is competitive with these mobile processors, but in this game, the CPU is not the component that determines the final frame rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB is an Ampere architecture GPU with a base clock of 1545 MHz and a boost clock of 1740 MHz. It features 2048 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The memory configuration is 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s. The GPU's FP32 performance is 7.127 TFLOPS. It sits at the 50th percentile of all GPUs, which places it in the middle of the pack.

The GPU's 4 GB VRAM is a critical constraint in Fivem. At 4K resolution, the game data and textures likely exceed this capacity, leading to the low average FPS of 23.8 at High settings. The memory bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s is also a limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the GPU must move more data per frame. The pixel rate of 55.68 GPixel/s and texture rate of 111.4 GTexel/s are modest figures that align with the observed performance drops.

The benchmark results indicate that the RTX 3050 4 GB is the primary bottleneck. At 1080p, the GPU can deliver 69 FPS at High, which is acceptable. But at 1440p, the same settings drop to 45.5 FPS, and at 4K, it falls below 25 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at High settings shows a 34% drop, which is a significant penalty. The GPU's 50th percentile ranking suggests that it is an average performer, and the Fivem results confirm that it is not sufficient for high-resolution gaming. The 4 GB VRAM is the most likely culprit, as modern games at 4K typically require more than 4 GB for textures and frame buffers, even at lower presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Ryzen 7 7700 and the RTX 3050 4 GB ranks 1640 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 8.5% of all configurations. This low ranking is primarily due to the GPU's limitations, as the CPU is a high-performing component (91st percentile). The data shows that while the CPU can handle the game's logic, the GPU cannot keep up with the rendering demands at higher resolutions.

The gap between this combo and higher-ranked configurations is likely to be substantial. The measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (52.8 FPS) is the highest score in the data set, but it is still below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider smooth. The 4K results, which are all below 40 FPS, are well below playable standards. This ranking suggests that the combo is only suitable for 1080p gaming with adjusted settings, and it is not a configuration that can handle higher resolutions or maximum settings.

The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with a delta of 0.5% and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T with a delta of 1.2%, have similar CPU performance, but the GPU remains the differentiator. The combo's rank of 1640 out of 1792 is a clear signal that users should not expect high frame rates in Fivem, especially at 1440p or 4K. The data indicates that this is a balanced system in name only; the GPU is the weak link.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the resolution target. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers the highest average FPS of 109.7, which provides a smooth experience. The Medium preset at 91.4 FPS is also viable, offering a better visual balance without a major performance hit. The High preset at 69 FPS is playable but approaches the threshold where frame drops may become noticeable. The Ultra preset at 52.8 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below 60 FPS.

At 1440p, the Low preset is the only option that provides a consistently playable experience, with an average of 74.7 FPS. The Medium preset at 57.6 FPS is borderline, and the High preset at 45.5 FPS will be noticeable less smooth. The Ultra preset at 37.8 FPS should be avoided. For 4K, none of the presets deliver acceptable performance. The Low preset at 39.3 FPS is the best case, but it is still below 40 FPS, and the Medium preset at 30 FPS is at the edge of playability. The High and Ultra presets, at 23.8 and 19.3 FPS, are not viable.

The data suggests that the 1080p Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, delivering 91.4 FPS. This is 21% faster than High and only 17% slower than Low, making it the sweet spot for this combo. For users prioritizing frame rate, 1080p Low is the clear choice. The 4K resolution should be avoided entirely, as the GPU's 4 GB VRAM and compute capabilities are insufficient for this game at that resolution. The recommendation is to stick to 1080p for a playable experience, with Medium settings providing the best overall experience per the measured rows.
