Fivem

Fivem presents a unique scaling pattern with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination. The measured data shows a substantial performance drop as resolution increases, with the gap between 1080p and 4K widening significantly across all settings presets. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 sees average frame rates fall from 291.6 FPS to 103.5 FPS, a reduction of 188.1 FPS. The High preset follows a similar trajectory, dropping from 183.2 FPS at 1080p to 67.7 FPS at 4K. This scaling behavior indicates that at lower resolutions, the system is heavily CPU-bound, while the 4K results begin to reflect the GPU's throughput limits. The Ultra preset at 4K produces 52.5 FPS, which is less than half of the 141.5 FPS achieved at 1080p, suggesting that the most demanding settings place considerable strain on the rendering pipeline.

The 1440p results occupy a middle ground that reveals the balance point for this hardware. Medium settings at 2560x1440 yield 149.6 FPS, while High delivers 120.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 95 FPS. The difference between 4K and 1440p at High settings is 53.2 FPS in favor of the lower resolution, which underscores how pixel count directly influences the frame delivery. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER begins to become the limiting factor around the 1440p mark, as the CPU's headroom diminishes with increased resolution. The overall ranking of this combo at position 297 out of 1792 tested configurations places it in the upper tier of Fivem systems, though the percentile data for the individual components — 87 for the CPU and 84 for the GPU — indicates that both parts are performing near their expected levels.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate degradation from 1080p to 4K follows a consistent pattern across all four settings presets. At Low settings, the 1080p average of 291.6 FPS drops to 192.9 FPS at 1440p, a 33.8% reduction, and then further to 103.5 FPS at 4K, representing a 46.3% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep decline at 4K Low indicates that even with minimal graphical demands, the GPU's rasterization throughput becomes the primary constraint. The High preset shows a less dramatic but still significant scaling: 183.2 FPS at 1080p, 120.9 FPS at 1440p, and 67.7 FPS at 4K. The percentage loss from 1440p to 4K for High is 44.0%, which is nearly identical to the Low preset's drop, suggesting that resolution scaling is relatively independent of the settings level.

Ultra settings exhibit the most severe scaling penalty. The 1080p result of 141.5 FPS falls to 95 FPS at 1440p, a 32.9% decrease, and then to 52.5 FPS at 4K, which is a 44.7% reduction from the 1440p value. This pattern indicates that at Ultra, the system is closer to its performance ceiling even at 1080p, and the additional pixel workload at higher resolutions exacerbates the GPU load. The Medium preset sits between these extremes, with 227.6 FPS at 1080p, 149.6 FPS at 1440p, and 80.7 FPS at 4K. The consistent 44-46% decline from 1440p to 4K across all presets points to a linear scaling behavior that is characteristic of games where the rendering resolution is the dominant factor once the CPU headroom is exhausted.

The data reveals that the limiting component shifts based on resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates across all presets — ranging from 141.5 FPS at Ultra to 291.6 FPS at Low — suggest that the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads are capable of feeding the GPU sufficiently, and the 3D V-Cache likely helps maintain consistent frame pacing in this multiplayer title. The 4K results, however, show the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit bus width being exercised more heavily, with the bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s becoming a relevant factor. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra of 52.5 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider playable, indicating that this resolution/settings combination is not ideal for this hardware pair.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, built on the AD104 chip with 7168 shading units. This configuration delivers a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s, which directly influence how the GPU handles the visual complexity of Fivem's multiplayer environments. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory running at an effective 21 Gbps provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, a figure that becomes increasingly important at 4K where the framebuffer and texture streaming demands are higher. The 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs are responsible for the final pixel output and texture filtering, respectively, and their utilization scales with resolution and settings.

The benchmark scores for the RTX 4070 SUPER place it in the 84th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scores 42653, a delta of -0.2%, meaning the 4070 SUPER is essentially on par with that workstation card in aggregate performance. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 42723, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X trails at 41991, a 1.4% deficit. These comparisons indicate that the GPU is performing within its expected envelope, and the measured FPS in Fivem reflects that positioning. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design are consistent with its performance class, though the power connector configuration of 1x 16-pin is a consideration for system builders.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions. The jump from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 at High settings reduces the average FPS from 183.2 to 67.7, a 63.0% decrease that cannot be attributed to CPU limitations alone. The 4K Ultra result of 52.5 FPS, combined with the 4K Medium result of 80.7 FPS, shows that the GPU's compute resources are fully engaged when both resolution and graphical fidelity are maximized. The FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS and the 56 RT cores, while not directly measured in the Fivem FPS data, contribute to the overall rendering capability that manifests in these frame rates. The GPU's percentile ranking of 84 and its performance relative to the RTX A6000 and RX 7650 GRE suggest that users can expect consistent behavior across other titles, but Fivem's specific engine characteristics amplify the resolution scaling effects.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, operating at a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its defining feature is the 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is instrumental in games that rely on frequent data access patterns, such as multiplayer titles with many entities and player interactions. The CPU's benchmark results reinforce its gaming pedigree: the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29149 and single-core score of 4115 demonstrate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded capability. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7980 and the max-thread score of 7967 are nearly identical, indicating that the additional threads beyond 16 provide minimal benefit, which is typical for gaming workloads.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 87 among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 31580, places it just ahead of its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i7-12700F scores 31543, a delta of 0.1%, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX scores 31495, a 0.3% difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX both score around 31400, representing 0.6% deltas. These narrow margins indicate that the 7800X3D is competitive with these alternatives, but its advantage in Fivem likely comes from the L3 cache configuration rather than raw throughput. The PassMark single-thread score of 3759 and the Geekbench single-core score of 2725 provide further evidence of its strong single-thread performance, which is critical for Fivem's server-side simulation and client-side physics.

In the context of the measured FPS, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p where frame rates exceed 183 FPS even at High settings. The 1080p Low result of 291.6 FPS is particularly telling, as it approaches the practical upper limit for many displays and demonstrates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution. However, the scaling to 4K shows that the GPU takes over as the limiting factor, and the CPU's contribution becomes less significant. The 120 W TDP and the 5 nm process node from TSMC, with 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, suggest an efficient design that can sustain high clocks without excessive power draw. The 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth from the dual-channel DDR5 support is sufficient for gaming, though it is notably the CPU's integrated Radeon Graphics are present but not utilized in this configuration.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which settings preset delivers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate for this hardware combination. At 1920x1080, the High preset achieves 183.2 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most gaming monitors, while Medium delivers 227.6 FPS and Low reaches 291.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p produces 141.5 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 22.8% reduction from High. For users with 1080p displays, High settings offer the optimal trade-off, as the jump to Medium only provides a 24.2% increase in FPS at the cost of reduced visual fidelity. The 141.5 FPS at Ultra is acceptable for competitive play, but the visual improvements over High are often marginal in multiplayer scenarios.

At 2560x1440, the High preset yields 120.9 FPS, which is ideal for 120 Hz monitors, while Medium produces 149.6 FPS and Low reaches 192.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 95 FPS, which might introduce slight stuttering on high-refresh displays. For 1440p users, High is the recommended preset, as it maintains a frame rate above 120 FPS while preserving the graphical details that enhance visibility in Fivem's open-world environments. The Medium preset is a viable alternative for those who prioritize higher frame rates, but the 23.7% FPS gain over High may not justify the reduction in shadow quality and draw distance. The 4K results present a more challenging scenario: High delivers 67.7 FPS, Medium 80.7 FPS, and Low 103.5 FPS, while Ultra drops to 52.5 FPS. For 4K displays, Medium provides the best experience, as it stays above 60 FPS while retaining sufficient detail, whereas High dips below the 70 FPS mark and Ultra is not recommended for smooth gameplay.

The overall ranking of this combo at 297 out of 1792 configurations indicates that it performs well relative to other systems, but the settings recommendations must account for the specific resolution targets. The data suggests that users with 4K displays should accept Medium settings to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS, while 1440p and 1080p users can comfortably run High settings. The Ultra preset is only advisable at 1080p, where it still delivers over 140 FPS, and should be avoided at higher resolutions due to the significant FPS penalties.
