Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly playable Fivem experience across most settings, with the data clearly indicating that the Low preset is the only option that guarantees consistently high frame rates at 4K. The combination ranks in the 57th percentile of tested configurations, placing it firmly in the mid-to-upper tier for this multiplayer title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data shows a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and performance, but the Medium preset emerges as the best overall experience for most users. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 146.7 FPS, which is a substantial 56.7 FPS improvement over High (117.9 FPS) while still maintaining a respectable visual quality. The jump from Medium to High costs 28.8 FPS, while the jump from Low to Medium costs 41.3 FPS, making Medium the sweet spot for 1080p.

At 2560x1440, Medium again proves optimal with 97.3 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and only 24 FPS behind Low (121.3 FPS). High at this resolution drops to 79.5 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for the frame drops common in multiplayer scenarios. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 61.2 FPS, which is technically playable but leaves little margin.

For 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. Medium produces 56 FPS, which is below the ideal 60 FPS target. Low produces 66.9 FPS, making it the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS bar. High (42.7 FPS) and Ultra (34.9 FPS) are not recommended at this resolution. The data suggests that for Fivem, which often involves fast-paced gameplay and dense player interactions, the Medium preset at 1080p or 1440p provides the best balance of smoothness and visual quality, while Low is the only viable option for 4K displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate handle the game's demands without issue. The boost clock of 2460 MHz helps maintain consistent frame delivery across all tested presets.

The GPU's performance characteristics become most apparent at 4K, where the 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit bus begin to show limitations. The measured data shows a steep performance cliff between 1440p and 4K: at Medium settings, the frame rate drops from 97.3 FPS at 1440p to 56 FPS at 4K, a 42.4% reduction. This suggests that the RTX 4060's memory bandwidth is a limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The GPU's 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it in the mid-range category. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 0.6% higher in synthetic benchmarks, while the Intel Arc B580 trails by 0.7%. These deltaPct values indicate that the RTX 4060 is competitive within its class, but the measured Fivem data shows it is better suited to 1080p and 1440p gaming than 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 188 FPS, which drops to 146.7 FPS at Medium, 117.9 FPS at High, and 90.5 FPS at Ultra. The step from Low to Medium costs 41.3 FPS, while the step from Medium to High costs 28.8 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 27.4 FPS. These diminishing returns suggest that the visual gains from higher presets come at significant performance costs.

At 2560x1440, the pattern repeats with lower absolute numbers. Low produces 121.3 FPS, Medium 97.3 FPS, High 79.5 FPS, and Ultra 61.2 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 35.5% at Low, 33.7% at Medium, 32.6% at High, and 32.4% at Ultra. This consistent reduction across presets indicates a resolution-dependent scaling pattern.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes marginal. Low produces 66.9 FPS, Medium 56 FPS, High 42.7 FPS, and Ultra 34.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 10.9 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 7.8 FPS. The 4K results show that only Low achieves the 60 FPS target, and even that is close to the threshold. The transition from 1440p to 4K at Medium settings represents a 42.4% performance drop, the steepest of any resolution transition in the data.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 1029 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 57.4th percentile. This ranking suggests that while the combo is above average, it is not among the top performers for this specific game. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs (with an average benchmark score of 31,580) is notably stronger than the GPU's 66th percentile ranking (average benchmark score of 23,181), indicating that the GPU is the weaker component in this pairing.

The CPU's nearest rivals show minimal performance differences: the Intel Core i7-12700F is just 0.1% ahead, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX is 0.3% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G is 0.6% ahead. These negligible differences confirm that the CPU is not a bottleneck. The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, is 0.6% ahead, while the Intel Arc B580 is 0.7% behind. This tight grouping suggests that the RTX 4060 performs as expected for its class.

The overall combo rank of 1029 reflects the fact that many tested systems feature higher-tier GPUs paired with comparable or better CPUs. The data shows that this combo is well-balanced but positioned in the mid-range of the benchmark database, with the GPU's mid-tier status being the primary factor limiting its overall ranking.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is particularly beneficial for gaming workloads, and the CPU's 5 nm process node from TSMC contributes to its efficiency. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29,149 and single-core score of 4,115 demonstrate strong performance across both threaded and single-threaded tasks.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is evident in the 1080p results, where the RTX 4060 is less likely to be the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 188 FPS, which indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU with sufficient frames even at high frame rates. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 959 and 2-thread score of 1,887 show solid per-core performance, which matters for a multiplayer game where individual player actions and physics calculations are processed.

The CPU's 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 31,580, places it well above the GPU's relative standing. This asymmetry suggests that in most scenarios, the RTX 4060 will be the bottleneck, particularly at higher resolutions. However, the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance (PassMark multithread score of 34,293) ensures that even in busy multiplayer sessions with many AI characters or scripted events, the CPU will not introduce frame pacing issues.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a consistent pattern of frame rate reduction as resolution increases. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all presets drops by approximately 33-36%, while from 1440p to 4K, the drop is more severe at 42-45%. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed at higher resolutions.

At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 188 FPS at 1080p to 121.3 FPS at 1440p (35.5% reduction) and then to 66.9 FPS at 4K (44.8% reduction from 1440p). At Medium settings, the corresponding drops are 33.7% (146.7 to 97.3) and 42.4% (97.3 to 56). At High settings, the drops are 32.6% (117.9 to 79.5) and 46.3% (79.5 to 42.7). At Ultra, the drops are 32.4% (90.5 to 61.2) and 43.0% (61.2 to 34.9).

The fact that the percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is relatively consistent across all presets (32-36%) suggests that this resolution transition is primarily GPU-bound, with the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth handling the increased pixel count proportionally. The larger drop from 1440p to 4K (42-46%) indicates that the GPU hits a more significant bottleneck at this resolution, likely related to memory bandwidth limitations. The CPU's performance is sufficient throughout, as evidenced by the strong 1080p results that would not be possible if the CPU were the limiting factor.
