The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal a system that is consistently capable of high refresh-rate gameplay, with the CPU's 3D V-Cache architecture proving particularly beneficial for this multiplayer title's simulation-heavy workload.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a clear pattern of increasing GPU dependency at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 331 FPS at 1920x1080 to 265 FPS at 2560x1440, then further to 147 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 55.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that even at the lowest graphical preset, the RTX 5090 D's rendering workload becomes substantial at 4K.

The scaling pattern shifts when examining Medium settings. At 1080p Medium, the system produces 304 FPS average, which falls to 209 FPS at 1440p (a 31.3% drop) and then to 116 FPS at 4K (a 61.8% drop from 1080p). The 4K Medium result includes measured minimum and maximum values of 99 FPS and 133 FPS respectively, showing a relatively tight frame time distribution that suggests consistent performance rather than sporadic hitches.

High settings demonstrate similar scaling behavior: 254 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p (34.3% drop), and 93 FPS at 4K (63.4% drop from 1080p). At Ultra settings, the frame rates are 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p, and 72 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the steepest relative decline from 1080p to 4K at 63.5%, though the absolute values remain playable at all resolutions.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the difference between Low (331 FPS) and High (254 FPS) is relatively modest compared to the GPU-bound scenarios at 4K. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, with Low settings producing 147 FPS while Ultra drops to 72 FPS — a 51% reduction purely from settings changes. This suggests that players targeting 4K should prioritize GPU-bound settings adjustments, while 1080p players may find CPU-related performance ceilings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D brings substantial hardware resources to FiveM, including 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 render output units are backed by a boost clock of 2407 MHz. These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, which are directly relevant to how quickly the GPU can fill frames with FiveM's geometry and texture data.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77712. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (avg score 76904, delta 1.1%), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (avg score 78940, delta -1.6%), NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (avg score 79396, delta -2.1%), and NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (avg score 79605, delta -2.4%). These deltas are all within 2.4% of the RTX 5090 D's score, indicating that the GPU's synthetic benchmark performance is closely matched by several other cards, though the 5090 D's real-world FiveM results benefit from its architecture and memory subsystem.

In FiveM specifically, the GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution rises. At 4K Ultra, the 72 FPS average suggests the GPU is working near its limits with this preset, while the 4K Low result of 147 FPS shows the headroom available when graphical demands are reduced. The 32 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for FiveM's typical asset streaming, and the 1750 MHz memory clock (28 Gbps effective) helps maintain consistent bandwidth for texture loading in dense multiplayer environments.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is built on the Zen 4 architecture with a 5 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock of 4.20 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz are complemented by a large 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is the defining feature for this processor's gaming performance. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 support ensures that cache misses don't become a bottleneck in data-intensive scenarios.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7800X3D achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16817 and single-core score of 1713, alongside a Geekbench multicore score of 15610 and single-core score of 2426. The 3DMark scores show scaling from 959 single-thread to 7980 with 16 threads, with an 8-thread score of 6539 that demonstrates strong multi-threading efficiency. The Passmark multithread score of 34293 and single-thread score of 3759 further characterize the CPU's capabilities.
