Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination delivers exceptional performance in Fivem, ranking in the top 2% of all tested configurations. The data shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, with the CPU's 8-core/16-thread design providing ample headroom even at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 350 FPS on Low settings.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario, particularly at higher settings. At 1080p High, the combo produces 238 FPS, which drops to 157 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and further to 87 FPS at 4K (a 63% reduction from 1080p). This aggressive scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are being utilized effectively, but the rendering load at 4K is substantial.

The scaling behavior changes dramatically when moving to Low settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 357 FPS, dropping to 248 FPS at 1440p (a 31% reduction) and 138 FPS at 4K (a 61% reduction). The fact that 1080p Low produces 357 FPS suggests the Ryzen 7 7700's single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1049, is sufficient to feed the GPU even at extremely high frame rates.

A key observation is the diminishing returns between Medium and Ultra settings across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium produces 297 FPS while Ultra drops to 185 FPS, a 38% performance hit. This gap widens at 4K, where Medium delivers 109 FPS and Ultra falls to 67 FPS, a 39% reduction. The data indicates that Ultra settings impose a significant rendering cost that the RTX 5090 cannot fully compensate for at 4K, suggesting the game's Ultra preset includes effects that are particularly demanding on pixel throughput.

The 1440p results show the sweet spot for this combination. With 157 FPS on High and 196 FPS on Medium, the system maintains high refresh rates while still delivering visual quality. The jump from 1440p High (157 FPS) to 4K High (87 FPS) represents a 45% reduction, which is less severe than the 1080p-to-1440p transition at High settings (34% reduction), indicating that the GPU's 512-bit memory bus helps mitigate the resolution penalty at higher pixel counts.
