Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title that scales unusually well with both high-end CPU and GPU hardware, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination proves exceptionally capable across all tested resolutions. The data shows this pairing delivers playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, but its most impressive characteristic is the massive headroom available at 1080p and 1440p, where the system frequently exceeds the refresh rates of most gaming monitors. This configuration ranks in the 93rd percentile for the game, sitting at rank 252 out of 3707 tested combinations, indicating that it is one of the most potent setups for Fivem in the database.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance at higher resolutions, with the gap between 1080p and 4K widening as settings increase. At Low settings, the system produces 331 FPS at 1920x1080, which drops to 219 FPS at 2560x1440, and further down to 122 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, a substantial decline that points directly to the graphics card becoming the limiting factor at the highest resolution.

However, the scaling behavior changes dramatically when looking at Ultra settings. The 1080p Ultra result is 163 FPS, dropping to 107 FPS at 1440p, and finally 60 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K here is 63%, consistent with the Low settings trend. Yet the absolute numbers tell a more nuanced story: at 1080p Ultra, the system still produces 163 FPS, which is only 49% of the 331 FPS seen at Low settings. This indicates that while the GPU is certainly busy rendering more complex scenes, the CPU with its 8 cores and 16 threads is also contributing significantly to the performance ceiling.

The 4K Medium result of 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS and maximum of 110 FPS shows that the system remains fluid in demanding scenarios. In contrast, the 4K High result of 77 FPS and 4K Ultra of 60 FPS suggest that Fivem at 4K with high visual fidelity is firmly GPU-limited. The RTX 4080, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth, provides enough raw throughput for these resolutions, but the data indicates that pushing beyond Medium at 4K requires careful consideration of the frame rate target. For competitive play at lower resolutions, the 1080p Low result of 331 FPS demonstrates that this CPU-GPU pairing is not the bottleneck; instead, the game engine and server-side performance in multiplayer scenarios are likely to be the limiting factors.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data provides a clear hierarchy of performance across presets, and the optimal setting depends heavily on the user's display refresh rate and resolution. At 1920x1080, all settings produce playable frame rates, but the jump from Low to Medium is substantial: 331 FPS to 263 FPS, a 20% reduction. The move from Medium to High costs another 20% (263 to 210 FPS), while High to Ultra costs 22% (210 to 163 FPS). For users with 144Hz displays, High settings at 1080p deliver 210 FPS, which is comfortably above the refresh rate and provides a smooth experience with minimal visual compromises compared to Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the recommendation becomes more nuanced. Low settings produce 219 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate gaming. Medium settings at 173 FPS still exceed 144Hz, and High at 138 FPS falls just short of that mark but remains perfectly playable. Ultra at 107 FPS is the only preset that drops below 120 FPS, but it still offers a very smooth experience on standard 60Hz displays. For most users at 1440p, Medium settings offer the best balance, providing 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS, which ensures frame times stay consistent even in busy multiplayer scenarios.

The 4K results present a different challenge. Low settings at 122 FPS are the only preset that exceeds 100 FPS, while Medium at 96 FPS and High at 77 FPS are still very playable. Ultra at 60 FPS is exactly at the standard 60Hz refresh rate, which means it will deliver a consistent experience but leaves no headroom for frame drops. The data suggests that 4K Medium is the sweet spot for this configuration, offering 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the 60Hz baseline while maintaining good visual quality. Users prioritizing maximum fidelity should consider High, but should be prepared for occasional dips below 77 FPS in heavy scenes.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers 331 FPS on Low, 263 FPS on Medium, 210 FPS on High, and 163 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset has a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 302 FPS, showing tight frame time consistency. The jump from Low to Medium costs 68 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 53 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 47 FPS, indicating diminishing returns as settings increase.

At 2560x1440, the results are 219 FPS on Low, 173 FPS on Medium, 138 FPS on High, and 107 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings reduces performance by 34%, while at Ultra settings, the reduction is 34% as well (163 to 107 FPS). This consistent percentage drop across presets indicates that the GPU is handling the resolution increase uniformly, with the RTX 4080's 16 GB of memory being sufficient for all tested settings.

At 3840x2160, the system achieves 122 FPS on Low, 96 FPS on Medium, 77 FPS on High, and 60 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset has a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K results in a 44% performance drop at Low settings (219 to 122 FPS) and a 44% drop at Ultra settings (107 to 60 FPS). This linear scaling suggests that the RTX 4080 is consistently GPU-bound at 4K, with the CPU overhead remaining constant across resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 60 FPS is exactly at the standard refresh rate, making it the boundary condition for this configuration.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 serves as the primary driver for Fivem's graphical output, and its specifications directly influence the measured results. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is crucial for 4K gaming, as the higher resolution demands more texture data and frame buffer space. The benchmark data shows that the GPU can handle 4K Medium settings at 96 FPS without issue, indicating that the 16 GB capacity is not a limiting factor in Fivem.

The RTX 4080's clock speeds are notable, with a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. These clocks, combined with the Ada Lovelace architecture's 9728 shading units, deliver a compute throughput of 48.74 TFLOPS for FP32 operations. This raw compute power is evident in the 4K results, where even Ultra settings maintain 60 FPS. The GPU's performance places it at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247. It is nearly identical in performance to the RTX 4080 SUPER (54209, 0.1% difference), and outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X by 1.1% and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB by 2.6%.

The 4K scaling behavior reveals the GPU's role as the primary bottleneck at high resolutions. The fact that 4K Low produces 122 FPS while 4K Ultra produces 60 FPS shows a 51% performance reduction from the lowest to highest settings. This is consistent with the GPU's pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s, which determine how quickly the card can fill the screen with rendered geometry. The RTX 4080's 112 ROPs and 304 TMUs are well-suited for Fivem's visual load, as the game's multiplayer nature often involves complex scenes with many vehicles and characters. The GPU's 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores are not directly relevant to Fivem's rasterization-based rendering, but they contribute to the card's overall architecture and thermal envelope, with a TDP of 320 W.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D plays a critical role in Fivem's performance, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. This processor features 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 4 architecture with a 5 nm process. Its base clock of 4.20 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz provide strong single-threaded performance, which is essential for Fivem's game logic and multiplayer networking. The CPU's 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a standout feature, and this large cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the game's frequently accessed world data.

The CPU's benchmark scores confirm its capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it scores 16817 in multicore and 1713 in singlecore. In Geekbench, it achieves 15610 in multicore and 2426 in singlecore. The PassMark multithread score of 34293 places it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33079. It is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and Intel Core i7-13650HX (both 33089, 0% difference), and slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (33201, -0.4% difference).

The CPU's influence on Fivem is most apparent at 1080p Low settings, where the system achieves 331 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough draw calls to maintain such performance. The 3DMark scores provide further insight: the CPU scores 7980 in 16-thread tests, 3684 in 4-thread tests, and 959 in single-thread tests. These results indicate strong multi-threaded scaling, which is important for Fivem's server-side simulation and client-side rendering of player interactions. At 1080p Ultra, the system still produces 163 FPS, which is a 51% reduction from Low settings, but this is primarily due to the GPU rendering more complex effects. The CPU's 120 W TDP and support for DDR5 memory with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensure that data can be fed to the graphics card efficiently, reducing the likelihood of CPU-induced stutters in demanding multiplayer scenarios.
