Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer-heavy title where frame pacing in crowded sessions matters as much as peak output, and this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER sits at a specific performance tier. The measured results show a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with the CPU carrying more weight at 1080p and the GPU taking over at 4K. The data indicates a balanced setup that ranks in the top 7% of tested combinations, making it a strong reference point for builders targeting high-refresh multiplayer play.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. It runs at a 3.80 GHz base clock and boosts up to 5.30 GHz, which is the headline figure for Fivem's single-thread-heavy simulation logic. The chip's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB per-core L2 cache help with the kind of repetitive data access patterns found in multiplayer world streaming. The 65 W TDP is modest for a desktop part, but the boost behavior is what matters here — Fivem's server-side tick rate and client-side entity updates don't parallelize perfectly across all 16 threads.

Benchmark data supports this split. The chip scores 1049 in 3DMark single-thread, 2043 in 2-thread, 3931 in 4-thread, and 6933 in 8-thread tests. The jump from 8-thread to max-thread is small — 8479 versus 6933 — indicating diminishing returns beyond 8 threads, which is typical for games like Fivem that rely on a few primary threads. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score of 18760 versus single-core 1930 shows the same pattern: strong per-core performance with reasonable scaling, but nothing that suggests 16 threads are fully utilized in this workload.

The 7700's percentile ranking against all CPUs is 87, and its average benchmark score of 40081 places it within 0.6% of the Intel Core i9-13905H and 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 270. For Fivem specifically, the 5.30 GHz boost clock is the differentiator — the game's frame time spikes in busy areas often correlate with single-core ceiling hits rather than overall throughput. The 16 threads do help with background tasks like Discord, streaming encoding, and anti-cheat overlays running alongside the game, which is a real consideration for multiplayer sessions.

The memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s over dual-channel DDR5 is adequate for this workload, and the PCIe Gen 5 interface with 24 CPU lanes ensures the GPU isn't starved for data. The integrated Radeon Graphics are present but irrelevant for gaming performance here — the discrete GPU handles all rendering. The chip's release in January 2023 and active production status mean it's a current-generation part with mature platform support, which matters for Fivem's custom scripts that sometimes push CPU instructions in unexpected ways.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the AD103 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture, also on TSMC's 5 nm process. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory over a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is the key spec for Fivem's high-resolution texture streaming and multiple concurrent player models. The base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz are the operating points, with memory running at 1438 MHz effective 23 Gbps. The 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs give it the raw geometry and pixel throughput needed for dense scenes.

The GPU's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but largely idle in Fivem, which doesn't use ray tracing or DLSS in a way that significantly changes the measured results. The 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 figure is theoretical headroom; the real-world performance shows in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 260075. The passmark G3D score of 34245 and GPU compute score of 19822 put it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54209.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the 4080 SUPER is 0.1% behind the RTX 4080, 1.1% ahead of the Radeon Pro W5700X, and 2.7% ahead of the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB. The delta to the plain RTX 4080 is negligible in synthetic tests, so the SUPER's advantage in Fivem comes down to the higher boost clock and memory bandwidth in real workloads. The 16 GB VRAM is the important number here — at 4K Ultra settings, the game's asset streaming can push past 12 GB in busy sessions, and the headroom prevents stutter when new areas load.

The card's power draw is 320 W with a suggested 700 W PSU, and it uses a single 16-pin connector. Physical dimensions of 310 mm length, 140 mm height, and 61 mm width mean it fits most mid-tower cases, but the triple-slot design requires careful consideration for SFF builds. The card is marked end-of-life with a January 2024 release, so it's a mature product with stable drivers — useful for Fivem's frequent updates that sometimes break GPU optimization.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific pairing ranks 259 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 7% of all configurations in the database. That rank reflects the combination's ability to maintain high frame rates across the settings ladder, not just peak performance at one resolution. The 7700's strong single-thread performance pairs well with the 4080 SUPER's rasterization power, and the data shows no bottleneck at any tested setting — the frame rate scales smoothly from Low to Ultra at all three resolutions.

The rank is more about consistency than raw top-end. Many combos with faster CPUs or GPUs will beat it in specific scenarios, but few match its balance across the full test matrix. At 1080p Low, the setup hits 331 FPS, which is near the practical ceiling for most 240 Hz monitors. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 59 FPS, which is playable but not competitive. The gap between these extremes is 272 FPS, and the curve is smooth — 121 FPS at 4K Low, 218 FPS at 1440p Low, and 331 FPS at 1080p Low show linear scaling with resolution.

The percentile data reinforces this: the CPU sits at 87th percentile and the GPU at 86th, so both components are above average individually. The combo rank of 259 out of 3707 is slightly better than either component's percentile would suggest, indicating the pairing has good synergy rather than one part dragging the other down. The measured FPS data confirms this — there's no setting where the frame rate collapses unexpectedly, which is often a sign of a CPU or GPU bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 3840x2160, the results span from 59 FPS at Ultra to 121 FPS at Low. High settings produce 76 FPS, and Medium lands at 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 and maximum of 110. The Ultra figure of 59 FPS is the only sub-60 result in the entire test set, and it's close enough to 60 that a few settings tweaks could push it over. The 4K High figure of 76 FPS is solid for a multiplayer game where frame time consistency matters more than absolute peak.

At 2560x1440, the setup shows its strength. Low settings hit 218 FPS, High produces 138 FPS, and Medium manages 172 FPS with a min of 146 and max of 198. Ultra drops to 107 FPS, which is still well above the 100 FPS threshold for smooth multiplayer play. The Medium min of 146 FPS is particularly relevant for Fivem — that's the kind of frame rate that holds up in a crowded server with dozens of players and vehicles on screen.

At 1920x1080, the numbers get high enough that CPU limits start to appear. Low settings reach 331 FPS, which is beyond what most monitors display. High produces 209 FPS, Medium hits 261 FPS with a min of 222 and max of 301, and Ultra manages 162 FPS. The 1080p results show the 7700's single-thread performance is the ceiling — the GPU has plenty of headroom at this resolution, but the game's simulation thread becomes the limiting factor.

The pattern across resolutions is clear: 4K is GPU-bound with 76 FPS at High, 1440p is balanced with 138 FPS at High, and 1080p is CPU-bound with 209 FPS at High. The Medium settings at each resolution show the best min-to-max stability — the spread at 1440p Medium is 52 FPS, at 4K Medium it's 29 FPS, and at 1080p Medium it's 79 FPS.

FAQ

Settings Recommendations

The best experience per the measured rows is the Medium preset at 2560x1440. It delivers 172 FPS average with a minimum of 146 FPS, which is the highest minimum frame rate among all 1440p options. The 146 FPS floor means even in busy Fivem sessions with heavy script load, the frame rate stays above the refresh rate of most 144 Hz monitors. The max of 198 FPS provides headroom for G-Sync or FreeSync ranges.

For 4K users, High settings at 76 FPS is the sweet spot. The Ultra preset's 59 FPS average is too close to the 60 FPS line for comfort in a multiplayer game where frame drops during explosions or dense traffic are common. The High preset gives 17 FPS more than Ultra while looking nearly identical in motion, and the 16 GB VRAM handles the texture load without swapping.

At 1080p, High settings at 209 FPS is the practical choice. The Low preset's 331 FPS exceeds what any mainstream monitor displays, and the Medium preset's 261 FPS is similarly wasted on most displays. The High preset's 209 FPS is well above the 144 Hz or 165 Hz refresh rates common at this resolution, and it leaves GPU headroom for background tasks.

The overall recommendation is to start at 1440p Medium and adjust based on your display's refresh rate. If you have a 240 Hz monitor, drop to 1080p High. If you have a 4K 60 Hz panel, use 4K High and accept the 76 FPS average. The data shows this combo is best used at 1440p, where neither component is fully saturated and frame times stay consistent.
