Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination delivers a wide performance envelope in Fivem, but the data reveals a clear pattern: this pairing is exceptionally strong at lower resolutions and becomes increasingly GPU-bound as pixel count rises. The measured frame rates show a system that can push past 300 FPS at 1080p Low, yet drops to just 59 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary bottleneck in demanding scenarios while the Ryzen 7 7700X provides ample headroom for competitive play.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS trajectory from 1080p to 4K demonstrates textbook resolution scaling, with the GPU becoming the limiting factor as pixel count increases. At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 331 FPS, which drops to 218 FPS at 1440p Low and 121 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 63.4% reduction in frame rate when moving from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, a steep decline that points directly at the rendering pipeline rather than CPU limitations. The pattern holds across all settings presets, though the percentage drops become more pronounced at higher quality levels due to the increased GPU workload.

At High settings, the system delivers 209 FPS at 1080p, 138 FPS at 1440p, and 76 FPS at 4K — a 63.6% drop from 1080p to 4K, nearly identical to the Low settings scaling. This consistency suggests that Fivem's rendering load scales predictably with resolution, and the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the increased data demands without introducing memory-related stutters. The Medium settings data, which includes minimum and maximum frame measurements, shows 261 FPS at 1080p (222 min, 301 max), 172 FPS at 1440p (146 min, 198 max), and 95 FPS at 4K (81 min, 110 max), with the frame time variance remaining relatively tight even at 4K.

The most telling indicator of GPU limitation comes from the Ultra preset, where 4K performance falls to 59 FPS — below the 60 FPS threshold many players consider playable. At 1440p Ultra the system manages 107 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it reaches 162 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a 63.6% drop, again mirroring the other presets. This uniformity across all four quality levels strongly suggests that the CPU is not the constraining factor at any resolution; instead, the RTX 4080 SUPER's raw rasterization throughput determines the ceiling, and that ceiling drops linearly with pixel count.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER's specifications explain its behavior in Fivem. With 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, the GPU has substantial parallel processing capability, yet the benchmark results show it is the bottleneck at 4K Ultra where it produces only 59 FPS. The card's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but Fivem's rendering workload appears to rely primarily on traditional rasterization, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution rather than showing anomalies that would indicate ray tracing or DLSS-related bottlenecks.

The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming in multiplayer scenarios. The measured frame rates at 4K — 76 FPS at High, 95 FPS at Medium, and 121 FPS at Low — indicate that even at the highest pixel counts, memory bandwidth is not causing frame drops or stutters. The GPU's 2550 MHz boost clock and 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 performance are the key drivers behind the 331 FPS result at 1080p Low, where the card is operating well below its thermal and power limits.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 86 places it in the upper tier of all graphics cards, and its average benchmark score of 54,209 is within 0.1% of the standard RTX 4080 (54,247), confirming that the SUPER variant offers nearly identical real-world performance in this title. The nearest rival comparisons show the RTX 4080 SUPER trailing the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB by 2.7% and the AMD Radeon 8060S by 2.8% in average benchmark scores, though these synthetic results do not directly translate to Fivem's measured frame rates. The GPU's 320 W TDP and triple-slot cooler design are consistent with the sustained high frame rates observed at 1080p, where the card maintains 331 FPS without thermal throttling indications.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X provides the computational foundation for Fivem's multiplayer logic, and its 8 cores and 16 threads with a 5.40 GHz boost clock ensure that CPU-related frame drops are absent from the measured data. The CPU's performance in synthetic benchmarks — Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19,088 and single-core score of 1,987 — indicates strong per-thread performance, which is critical for Fivem's server-side simulation and entity updates that run on the main thread. The PassMark single-thread score of 4,190 further confirms that the 7700X can handle the game's primary thread without becoming a bottleneck.

The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 6,570 million transistors on a 5 nm process contribute to the low-latency access patterns that Fivem's multiplayer environments demand. With a PassMark multi-thread score of 35,686 and a 3DMark max-threads score of 8,852, the CPU demonstrates balanced scaling from 2 threads (2,112) to 16 threads (8,859), indicating that Fivem's workload benefits from the additional cores when many players are nearby. The 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs places the 7700X ahead of rivals like the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (0.3% faster) and the Intel Core 7 250H (0.5% faster), though these differences are negligible in real-world gaming scenarios.

The evidence that the CPU is not limiting Fivem's frame rates comes from the resolution scaling data. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect frame rates to remain constant across resolutions at a given settings preset. Instead, the 7700X delivers 331 FPS at 1080p Low but only 121 FPS at 4K Low, a clear indication that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and DDR5 support ensure that data can flow to the GPU without creating a pipeline stall, and the 5 nm process with a 105 W TDP keeps thermal headroom available for sustained boost operation during extended multiplayer sessions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data indicates that the High preset offers the best balance between visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p High, the system delivers 209 FPS, which is 52 FPS below the Low preset but provides substantially better visual fidelity. At 1440p High, the 138 FPS result remains well above the 100 FPS mark, making it ideal for 1440p 144 Hz monitors. At 4K High, the 76 FPS average is comfortably above the 60 FPS minimum for smooth gameplay, whereas the Ultra preset drops to 59 FPS, which may cause perceptible stutter on standard 60 Hz displays.

The Medium preset provides a viable alternative for players who prefer higher frame rates over maximum visual detail. At 1080p Medium, the system produces 261 FPS with minimum frame times of 222 FPS, ensuring consistent performance without dips below the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. At 1440p Medium, the 172 FPS average with a 146 FPS minimum makes this the best choice for 1440p 165 Hz displays, as the frame rate rarely drops below the refresh threshold. At 4K Medium, the 95 FPS average (81 FPS minimum) offers a significant improvement over High settings while maintaining smooth gameplay on high-refresh 4K displays.

The Low preset should be reserved for maximum frame rate scenarios, particularly in competitive multiplayer where every millisecond counts. The 331 FPS at 1080p Low and 218 FPS at 1440p Low provide the lowest input latency, though the visual quality reduction may hinder target acquisition at longer distances. The Ultra preset is only recommended for 1080p gaming, where the 162 FPS average remains playable, but at 1440p (107 FPS) and 4K (59 FPS) it fails to provide either high-refresh or consistent 60 FPS experiences.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak performance ceiling. Low settings produce an average of 331 FPS, the highest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium settings deliver 261 FPS with a minimum of 222 FPS and a maximum of 301 FPS, indicating tight frame pacing. High settings reduce the average to 209 FPS, while Ultra settings produce 162 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 51.1% reduction in frame rate, reflecting the increased GPU workload from higher-quality textures and effects.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling penalty. Low settings average 218 FPS, Medium settings deliver 172 FPS (146 min, 198 max), High settings produce 138 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 107 FPS. The 1440p results represent a 34.1% reduction from 1080p at Low settings, a 34.1% reduction at Medium, a 34.0% reduction at High, and a 34.0% reduction at Ultra, demonstrating consistent scaling across all quality presets.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 SUPER becomes the definitive bottleneck. Low settings average 121 FPS, Medium settings deliver 95 FPS (81 min, 110 max), High settings produce 76 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 59 FPS. The 4K results show a 63.4% reduction from 1080p at Low settings, a 63.6% reduction at Medium, a 63.6% reduction at High, and a 63.6% reduction at Ultra, confirming that resolution scaling is uniform regardless of quality settings. The minimum frame rate of 81 FPS at 4K Medium indicates that the system can maintain playable performance even during demanding multiplayer moments, though the 59 FPS Ultra result suggests that maximum settings at 4K require a more powerful GPU for consistent 60 FPS gameplay.
