Fivem

Fivem’s performance with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER shows a clear pattern: the game is heavily dependent on the CPU’s single-thread strength and the GPU’s raw throughput, but the balance between them shifts dramatically as resolution increases. The measured frames per second (FPS) data reveals that this combo is exceptionally fast at 1080p, remains very strong at 1440p, and only at 4K does the graphics card become the definitive bottleneck. This pairing ranks in the 94th percentile of all tested combinations, placing it among the top-tier setups for this multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, which is typical for a game that scales well with GPU load. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 333.5 FPS, but at 4K with the same settings, it falls to 118.8 FPS. That is a 64% reduction, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER is doing most of the heavy lifting at higher resolutions. Conversely, the jump from 4K to 1080p at Ultra settings shows a 156% increase in frame rate, from 62.1 FPS to 158.6 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is able to feed the GPU more than enough frames, and the GPU’s raw power is the limiting factor even at lower settings.

The data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of VRAM and 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth are not taxed at 1080p or 1440p, but at 4K, the GPU’s compute capacity becomes the primary constraint. For instance, at 4K High, the combo hits 77.1 FPS, which is a 43% drop from the 1440p High score of 135.4 FPS. This is a larger relative drop than the 35% reduction seen when going from 1080p High (208.7 FPS) to 1440p High (135.4 FPS). The scaling pattern indicates that Fivem’s engine is not heavily optimized for multi-core CPUs, so the Ryzen 7 7800X3D’s 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient, but the GPU’s shading units and RT cores are what determine the ceiling at higher resolutions.

At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra settings is 56.7 FPS (118.8 vs 62.1), which is a 91% performance range. This wide spread suggests that the GPU is the bottleneck, as adjusting settings has a massive impact. At 1080p, the same Low-to-Ultra gap is 174.9 FPS (333.5 vs 158.6), a 110% range, but the absolute numbers are so high that the CPU is still delivering enough frames to keep the experience smooth. The takeaway is that this combo is CPU-bound at 1080p, balanced at 1440p, and GPU-bound at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the FPS scaling. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for Fivem’s texture-heavy environments. The GPU’s base clock is 2295 MHz, boosting to 2550 MHz, and it has 10240 shading units. These specs translate to a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s, which are critical for filling the screen at 4K.

The benchmark results show the GPU’s synthetic scores: a PassMark G3D score of 34245 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 246994. In the context of Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the primary driver, since the FPS numbers (333.5 Low, 208.7 High) are extremely high. At 1440p, the GPU starts to take over, but the combo still delivers over 100 FPS at all settings except Ultra (105.1 FPS). At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as the FPS drops to 118.8 at Low and 62.1 at Ultra.

The GPU’s 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are not directly measured in the FPS data, but they contribute to the overall compute capability. The fact that the RTX 4080 SUPER scores in the 88th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53610, confirms it is a high-end part. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, is only 0.2% slower on average, which means the NVIDIA card has a slight edge in raw performance, but the difference is negligible in real-world gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers exceptional frame rates. Low settings produce 333.5 FPS, Medium 264.2 FPS, High 208.7 FPS, and Ultra 158.6 FPS. These numbers indicate that even at Ultra, the game is highly playable on high refresh rate monitors. The gap between Low and Ultra is 174.9 FPS, which shows that settings have a significant impact on performance, but the absolute floor is still above 150 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the FPS drops but remains high. Low settings yield 214.5 FPS, Medium 173.3 FPS, High 135.4 FPS, and Ultra 105.1 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low is 35.7%, while at Ultra it is 33.7%. This suggests that the GPU is starting to become more involved, but the CPU still has enough headroom. At 1440p Ultra, the 105.1 FPS average is still smooth for most displays.

At 4K, the performance takes a significant hit. Low settings produce 118.8 FPS, Medium 95.1 FPS, High 77.1 FPS, and Ultra 62.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 47.7% drop, which is the largest relative difference across all resolutions. This indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the limiting factor, as the CPU’s performance is no longer sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s workload. The 4K High score of 77.1 FPS is still playable, but the Ultra score of 62.1 FPS is borderline for competitive play.

The data shows that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it consistently exceeds 100 FPS at all settings. At 4K, users will need to choose between visual quality and frame rate, with Medium settings (95.1 FPS) being the sweet spot for a balance.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gaming, the data suggests that Ultra settings are viable, as the 158.6 FPS average is still very high. If you have a 240 Hz monitor, High settings (208.7 FPS) or Medium (264.2 FPS) will push the frame rate even higher. For competitive play, Low settings at 333.5 FPS offer the maximum responsiveness, but the visual trade-off may not be worth it for most users.

At 1440p, High settings (135.4 FPS) provide a great balance of visual quality and speed. Medium (173.3 FPS) is a good choice for high refresh rate displays, while Ultra (105.1 FPS) is still acceptable for most gamers. Low settings (214.5 FPS) are overkill unless you have a very high refresh rate monitor.

For 4K, the recommended setting is Medium, which produces 95.1 FPS. This offers a smooth experience without sacrificing too much visual detail. High settings (77.1 FPS) are playable but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer, while Ultra (62.1 FPS) is only suitable for slower gameplay. Low settings (118.8 FPS) are the best option if you prioritize frame rate above all else, but the visual downgrade is noticeable.

The overall recommendation is to use 1440p with High settings for the best balance of performance and visuals. This yields 135.4 FPS, which is smooth and looks great. If you prefer 1080p, High settings at 208.7 FPS are excellent for competitive gaming. For 4K, stick to Medium to stay above 90 FPS.
