Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination delivers a commanding performance profile in Fivem, with measured frame rates that scale predictably across resolutions and settings. The data reveals a system where the GPU’s immense raw power frequently shifts the bottleneck to the CPU, particularly at lower resolutions. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS figures, contextualizes them against the component specifications, and assesses where this pairing stands among 1,792 tested combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear inverse relationship between resolution and frame rate, but the magnitude of the drop tells a revealing story about system balance. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 233.8 at 1920x1080 to 151.3 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 82.5 FPS (35.3%). Moving further to 3840x2160, the average drops to 84.2, which is 64.3% lower than the 1080p figure. This steep decline suggests that while the RTX 4090 is exceptionally powerful, the game’s engine and the CPU’s role become increasingly significant as resolution climbs.

The pattern is even more pronounced at Low settings. The system achieves 360.2 FPS at 1920x1080, which drops to 242.4 at 2560x1440 and then to 132.5 at 4K. The 4K figure is 63.2% lower than 1080p, indicating that even with minimal graphical load, the rendering pipeline at higher resolutions demands substantially more from the GPU. Conversely, the gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings (117.8 FPS) is larger than the gap between 1440p and 4K (109.9 FPS), hinting that the CPU may be limiting performance at the lowest resolution. The data implies that at 1080p, the Ryzen 7 7700’s 8 cores and 16 threads are working near their ceiling, unable to feed the RTX 4090 enough frames to reach its full potential.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain much of the observed behavior. With 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, the GPU provides 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Fivem’s textures and geometry at any resolution. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective, and the boost clock of 2520 MHz (base 2235 MHz) supports rapid shading across its 16,384 shading units. These figures align with the GPU’s 91st percentile ranking among all GPUs, confirming its top-tier status.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as settings increase. At Ultra settings, the average FPS at 4K is 63.7, which is 24.3% lower than the High preset’s 84.2. This suggests that Ultra settings introduce effects that heavily tax the GPU’s pixel rate (443.5 GPixel/s) and texture rate (1,290.2 GTexel/s). The RTX 4090’s 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores are also relevant, as Fivem’s multiplayer environments can include dynamic lighting and shadow effects that utilize these units. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at 4K Ultra, where the CPU has more headroom to keep up with the rendering demands.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, High yields 233.8 FPS, which is 51.4 FPS lower than Low but more than 52 FPS higher than Ultra. The jump from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 52.4 FPS (a 22.4% reduction), while the jump from Medium to High gains 18.1 FPS over Medium’s 290.4. This indicates that High captures most of the visual fidelity without the steep performance penalty of Ultra.

At 2560x1440, High delivers 151.3 FPS, which is above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors, while Ultra drops to 119.2. For 4K, High’s 84.2 FPS is playable, but Medium’s 106.8 FPS provides a smoother experience with only a modest visual downgrade. Low settings are only advisable for competitive play at 1080p, where 360.2 FPS maximizes responsiveness, but the data shows diminishing returns beyond 240 FPS for most users. The optimal experience per the measured rows is High at 1440p or Medium at 4K, balancing frame rate and image quality.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 33rd out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 1.8% of all pairings. This high rank underscores the synergy between the CPU and GPU, even though neither component is the absolute fastest in its class. The Ryzen 7 7700 sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, and the RTX 4090 also holds a 91st percentile ranking among GPUs, creating a matched pairing that excels in this game.

The rank of 33 suggests that only 32 other combinations deliver higher average FPS in Fivem, likely featuring newer or more specialized hardware. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (avg score 40431, delta 0.1%), AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40262, delta 0.5%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (40712, delta -0.6%). These small deltas indicate that the 7700’s performance is tightly clustered with other high-end chips, but its 8 cores and 16 threads at boost clocks up to 5.30 GHz provide a solid foundation for Fivem’s multi-threaded workloads. The GPU’s nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (delta -0.4%) and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (delta -0.9%), are far less capable in gaming, reinforcing the RTX 4090’s dominant position.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700, built on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) using a 5 nm process, brings 8 cores and 16 threads to Fivem. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz boosts to 5.30 GHz, and it features 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU’s benchmark scores are impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29,302 and a single-core score of 4,136. These numbers place it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40,468.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is critical for handling game logic, physics, and the network layer inherent to multiplayer. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 8,484 suggests strong multi-threading capability, which is essential for managing multiple player entities and their interactions. However, the data shows that at 1080p Low, the CPU becomes the limiting factor. The 360.2 FPS at 1080p Low is likely near the CPU’s maximum frame output, as the GPU is underutilized at such low graphical loads. The single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 1,049 and PassMark single-thread score of 4,063, is sufficient to avoid major bottlenecks, but the gap between 1080p Low (360.2 FPS) and 1440p Low (242.4 FPS) indicates that the CPU can’t push much beyond 360 FPS in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset provides a granular view of performance. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 181.4 at Ultra to 360.2 at Low, with Medium at 290.4 and High at 233.8. The spread of 178.8 FPS between Low and Ultra shows a wide performance envelope, with each settings tier delivering a distinct frame rate. At 2560x1440, the averages are 119.2 (Ultra), 151.3 (High), 192.8 (Medium), and 242.4 (Low). The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 123.2 FPS, reflecting the increased GPU load. At 3840x2160, the averages are 63.7 (Ultra), 84.2 (High), 106.8 (Medium), and 132.5 (Low). The difference between Low and Ultra shrinks further to 68.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K.

Comparing presets, the step from Low to Medium yields a consistent FPS drop of approximately 25% across all resolutions: 69.8 FPS at 1080p, 49.6 at 1440p, and 25.7 at 4K. The step from Medium to High costs 56.6 FPS at 1080p, 41.5 at 1440p, and 22.6 at 4K. The step from High to Ultra is the most punishing, costing 52.4 FPS at 1080p, 32.1 at 1440p, and 20.5 at 4K. This pattern confirms that Ultra settings are disproportionately expensive, while Low and Medium offer the best FPS-per-setting gains.
