Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 shows a steep performance decline as resolution increases, which is a classic indicator of GPU-bound behavior at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 76 FPS average, but this drops to 50 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 28 FPS at 3840x2160 under the same settings. That represents a 34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 44% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is nonlinear, suggesting that the GTX 1650's rendering capabilities become the limiting factor well before the CPU's headroom is exhausted.

Looking at Medium settings, the pattern repeats with 60 FPS at 1080p, 40 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is exactly 33%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 45%. High settings show 48 FPS at 1080p, 32 FPS at 1440p, and 18 FPS at 4K, with percentage drops of 33% and 44% respectively. This consistency across presets reinforces that resolution scaling is governed almost entirely by the GPU's pixel throughput, not by the game's specific settings configuration.

At Ultra settings, the numbers become marginal for playability: 37 FPS at 1080p, 25 FPS at 1440p, and 14 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is only 37% of the 1080p Ultra figure, showing that the GTX 1650 is being pushed far beyond its comfortable operating range. The data indicates that this combination is best suited for 1080p gaming, where even Ultra settings remain above 30 FPS. At 1440p, only Low and Medium settings cross the 30 FPS threshold, and at 4K, no preset achieves even 30 FPS, with the best result being 28 FPS on Low.

The fact that the CPU is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz suggests it is not the bottleneck in these resolution transitions. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect FPS to remain relatively flat across resolutions, but the data shows dramatic falls. The GTX 1650, with its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 128-bit bus delivering 128.1 GB/s bandwidth, is clearly the component determining these scaling curves.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is an end-of-life product from the GeForce 16 series, built on the TU117 chip using a 12 nm process. Its specifications include 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, with a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz. The memory configuration is 4 GB of GDDR5 running at 2001 MHz with an 8 Gbps effective rate, producing a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s over a 128-bit interface. The GPU's FP32 performance is rated at 2.984 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 53.28 GPixel/s with a texture rate of 93.24 GTexel/s.

In Fivem, the GTX 1650's 4 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor. The game's multiplayer environments often feature dense geometry, numerous vehicles, and high-detail textures, which can pressure memory capacity. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS, indicating the card is handling the workload adequately at this resolution. However, at 4K, even Low settings only produce 28 FPS, and the memory bandwidth appears insufficient for the pixel fill demands.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its position. Its passmark G3D score is 7880, with a DirectX 11 score of 58 and DirectX 12 score of 35. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 305, showing limited modern API performance. The GPU's percentile rank among all GPUs is 40, meaning it sits below the median. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 8850M with a score of 7447 and a deltaPct of 0.3, the Intel UHD Graphics 750 at 7441 with a deltaPct of 0.4, and the AMD Radeon R7 350 at 7425 with a deltaPct of 0.6. Interestingly, the Intel Arc A310 has a higher score of 7550 with a deltaPct of -1, meaning the GTX 1650 is actually 1% behind that rival.

The GTX 1650's specs relative to its performance in Fivem show that while its clocks are respectable for a 75 W TDP part, the 4 GB memory capacity and 128.1 GB/s bandwidth are the primary constraints at higher resolutions. The card's launch MSRP is 149 USD, but the data shows it delivers playable performance only at 1080p, where it can maintain 60 FPS on Medium preset. The lack of ray tracing cores (rtCores is null) and tensor cores (tensorCores is null) means it relies entirely on rasterization, which is consistent with the observed frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a desktop processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename using TSMC's 5 nm process. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, with 1 MB L2 per core and 64 KB L1 per core. The processor supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform with PCIe Gen 5 providing 24 lanes. Its TDP is 105 W, and it includes integrated Radeon Graphics.

The CPU's benchmark results are strong across the board. In Cinebench R23, it scores 19088 multicore and 1987 single-core. Geekbench shows 12451 multicore and 2289 single-core. Passmark multithread score is 35686, with single-thread at 4190. The 3DMark 16-thread score is 8859, and the max-thread score is 8852, showing excellent scaling. The processor's percentile rank among all CPUs is 85, placing it well above average. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 with a score of 35802 and deltaPct of 0.3, the Intel Core 7 250H at 35728 with deltaPct of 0.5, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 at 35719 with deltaPct of 0.5. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 35670 with a deltaPct of 0.7.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and the many AI-driven entities common in multiplayer servers. With 16 threads and a 5.40 GHz boost, the 7700X has ample headroom to process these tasks without becoming a bottleneck. The measured FPS data supports this, as the performance scaling with resolution is clearly GPU-limited. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 76 FPS, which is the highest measured result, and this is likely constrained by the GTX 1650 rather than the CPU. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect similar FPS across different resolutions, but instead we see a steady decline from 76 to 50 to 28 FPS as resolution increases.

The CPU's single-thread performance is particularly relevant for Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to per-core performance in multiplayer scenarios. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1090 and Passmark single-thread score of 4190 indicate strong per-core capabilities. The boost clock of 5.40 GHz provides the raw frequency needed for the game's main thread, which often handles the majority of simulation work. The 8 cores and 16 threads also allow background tasks and other server-side processing to run without interfering with the primary game thread.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with Medium settings, where the average FPS is 60 with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69. This preset provides a balanced frame rate that stays above 50 FPS even in dips, which is generally considered smooth for a multiplayer game like Fivem. The Low preset at 1080p offers 76 FPS average, which is higher, but the visual quality trade-off may not be worth it given the Medium preset still delivers solid performance. High settings at 1080p drop to 48 FPS, which is playable but closer to the threshold where frame pacing issues can become noticeable. Ultra at 1080p yields 37 FPS, which is marginal for a game with fast movement and frequent camera changes.

At 2560x1440, the data suggests Medium settings are the highest playable option, with 40 FPS average and 34 FPS minimum. Low settings at 1440p produce 50 FPS, which is preferable if visual fidelity is less important than smoothness. High settings at 1440p drop to 32 FPS, which is borderline, and Ultra at 25 FPS is not recommended for competitive play. The 4K resolution is not viable for this combo, as even Low settings only achieve 28 FPS, and Medium drops to 22 FPS with a minimum of 19. For users who must play at 4K, Low is the only option, but the experience will be below the standard for fluid gameplay.

The data shows that the Medium preset at 1080p offers the best balance of frame rate and visual quality, with the 60 FPS average providing a smooth experience. The minimum of 51 FPS ensures that even in busy scenes, the frame rate rarely dips below the 50 FPS threshold. This recommendation is based solely on the measured rows, which provide exact numbers for each preset and resolution combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 76 FPS, which is the highest measured value across all configurations. Medium settings yield 60 FPS average with a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. High settings drop to 48 FPS average, and Ultra settings fall to 37 FPS average. The transition from Low to Medium represents a 21% reduction, while Medium to High is a 20% reduction, and High to Ultra is a 23% reduction. This shows that each step up in settings costs roughly a fifth of the frame rate at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the performance tier shifts downward. Low settings achieve 50 FPS average, which is 34% lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium settings produce 40 FPS average with a minimum of 34 FPS and maximum of 45 FPS, representing a 33% drop from 1080p Medium. High settings yield 32 FPS average, a 33% reduction from 1080p High. Ultra settings produce 25 FPS average, which is 32% below the 1080p Ultra figure. The consistent 33% reduction across all presets indicates a uniform GPU bottleneck that scales with pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become largely unplayable. Low settings achieve 28 FPS average, which is 44% below the 1440p Low result. Medium settings produce 22 FPS average with a minimum of 19 FPS and maximum of 25 FPS, a 45% drop from 1440p Medium. High settings yield 18 FPS average, a 44% reduction from 1440p High. Ultra settings produce 14 FPS average, which is 44% below the 1440p Ultra figure. The 4K results are uniformly in the teens and low twenties, confirming that this resolution is outside the capability of the GTX 1650.

The data also shows interesting minimum FPS behavior. Only the Medium preset has min and max values recorded across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 51 FPS and maximum is 69 FPS, a spread of 18 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 34 FPS and maximum is 45 FPS, a spread of 11 FPS. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 19 FPS and maximum is 25 FPS, a spread of 6 FPS. This narrowing spread at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated, reducing frame time variance.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 ranks 3562 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the combo in the bottom 4% of all systems tested for this game, which is a poor showing given the CPU's high performance tier. The CPU itself ranks at the 85th percentile among all processors, but the GPU ranks at only the 40th percentile among all GPUs. This massive disparity between CPU and GPU performance levels is the primary reason for the low overall ranking.

The combo's ranking reflects the fact that Fivem is a GPU-intensive game at higher resolutions, and the GTX 1650's 4 GB VRAM and 128.1 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the demands of the game's multiplayer environments. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, with a Passmark single-thread score of 4190 and boost clock of 5.40 GHz, is wasted in this configuration because the GPU cannot keep up with the frames the CPU is capable of producing.

Comparatively, the CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 with a deltaPct of 0.3, the Intel Core 7 250H with a deltaPct of 0.5, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 with a deltaPct of 0.5. These processors are all within 0.7% of the 7700X's average score of 35909, but none of them would meaningfully change the Fivem ranking when paired with the same GPU. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Arc A310 with a deltaPct of -1, show that the GTX 1650 is marginally below the Arc A310 in synthetic tests, yet the Arc A310 would likely perform similarly in Fivem given the same memory constraints.

The rank of 3562 out of 3707 indicates that most other tested combinations, even those with weaker CPUs, achieve better Fivem performance because they pair more balanced GPUs with their processors. The data suggests that the 7700X is overqualified for the GTX 1650, and the combination is heavily GPU-limited in Fivem. For users with this combo, the measured FPS at 1080p Medium (60 FPS) is the practical ceiling, and any expectation of higher performance would require a GPU upgrade rather than a CPU change.
