Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V, and its performance profile is heavily influenced by both CPU single-thread strength and GPU rasterization throughput. The tested configuration pairs the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with the AMD Radeon RX 9060, a combination that yields a measured combo rank of 1714 out of 3005 tested combinations in this title. The data shows a system that can deliver playable frame rates at mainstream resolutions, though it struggles at 4K with higher presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename. Its base clock is 4.20 GHz, boosting up to 5.00 GHz, and it carries a 120 W TDP. The processor has a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is a key asset for Fivem's server-side scripting and simulation workloads that often exhibit cache-sensitive behavior. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by 3DMark's single-thread test at 959 points, is critical because Fivem's game engine and its multiplayer scripts frequently rely on a few heavily loaded threads.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are strong as well, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16817 points and a Geekbench multi-core score of 15610. However, the benchmark results indicate that the 7800X3D's performance in Fivem is less about raw core count and more about the responsiveness of those individual cores. The 3DMark 8-thread score of 6539 and max-thread score of 7967 suggest that the CPU can handle the parallel tasks of physics and entity updates, but the game's frame pacing will be dictated by the CPU's ability to process the main game thread quickly. The 7800X3D's 5.00 GHz boost clock, combined with the large L3 cache, provides a strong foundation for this workload.

Compared to its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark database, the 7800X3D's average benchmark score of 33079 is virtually tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (33089) and the Intel Core i7-13650HX (33089), with a deltaPct of 0. It is also on par with the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (33091) and only 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (33201). This indicates that in general compute tasks, the 7800X3D is not a runaway leader, but its specific cache design and clock characteristics are what make it suitable for gaming. The CPU's percentile ranking of 83 against all CPUs reinforces that it sits well above the median for overall processing power.

For Fivem specifically, the CPU's role is to maintain a stable frame rate floor. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 175 FPS on average, and at 1080p High, it reaches 111 FPS. These numbers suggest that the CPU is not a bottleneck at these settings, as the GPU is still able to push high frame rates. However, the delta between Low and High at 1080p (175 vs 111 FPS) indicates that the game's visual demands begin to tax the GPU more heavily, but the CPU is still keeping up. The 7800X3D's strong single-thread performance is the primary reason this combo can achieve such high frame rates at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is a member of the Radeon RX 9000 series, built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1700 MHz, with a boost clock of 2990 MHz and a game clock of 2400 MHz. The card has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operations pipelines, along with 28 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 performance is rated at 21.43 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is to render the dense urban environments and handle the draw calls for numerous player models and vehicles. The 8 GB VRAM is a significant consideration for this game, especially at higher resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system only manages 31 FPS on average, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. At 4K High, it improves to 40 FPS, and at 4K Medium, it reaches 50 FPS with a minimum of 43 FPS. These figures suggest that the 8 GB VRAM and the GPU's compute power are limiting factors at 4K.

The GPU's performance relative to its peers is modest. Its average benchmark score of 16014 places it at the 59th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, scores 16129, a deltaPct of -0.7%, meaning the RX 9060 is slightly slower. It is also comparable to the AMD Radeon R9 370X (15862) and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 (15852), with deltaPcts of 1% and 1% respectively. This indicates that the RX 9060 delivers performance in the range of a mid-range card from a previous generation, which is consistent with its 1080p and 1440p results in Fivem.

At 1440p, the GPU shows its strengths. At 1440p High, the system achieves 73 FPS, and at 1440p Low, it reaches 115 FPS. These are playable frame rates for a multiplayer title, where responsiveness is key. The 1440p Medium setting produces 91 FPS on average, with a minimum of 77 FPS, which is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates that the GPU is well-suited for 1440p gaming, but it begins to run out of headroom at 4K. The GPU's DirectX 12 benchmark score of 44 in Passmark is notably low, but its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3322 is more representative of its modern gaming capability.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution. For 1920x1080, the High preset is recommended as it provides a 111 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while the Ultra preset still delivers 86 FPS. The Low preset at 175 FPS is overkill for most displays and sacrifices visual fidelity for a marginal gain in frame rate.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the best choice, offering 91 FPS on average with a minimum of 77 FPS. This provides a good balance between visual quality and performance, ensuring that frame dips stay above the 60 FPS mark. The High preset at 73 FPS is also playable, but the Medium setting offers a more stable experience. The Ultra preset at 56 FPS may be acceptable for some, but it risks dropping below 60 FPS in busy scenes.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only fully playable option, yielding 64 FPS on average. The Medium preset at 50 FPS is borderline, and the High preset at 40 FPS is not recommended for a multiplayer game where frame rate consistency is crucial. The Ultra preset at 31 FPS is unplayable for competitive play. Therefore, users with a 4K display should either stick to Low settings or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.
