Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 580 is a combination that lands near the bottom of the database for Fivem, ranking 2723 out of 3005 tested combos. This places it in the lower percentile of systems, meaning the vast majority of other hardware pairings deliver higher average frame rates in this title. The data indicates a fundamental imbalance: a modern, high-end CPU from the 9000 series is paired with a legacy GPU from the Polaris generation, and the benchmark results consistently show the graphics card as the limiting factor, especially at higher resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 2723 out of 3005 tested hardware combinations immediately signals that this is not a high-performance pairing for Fivem. With 3005 total combos, being at position 2723 means roughly 90% of other tested systems achieve better average FPS. This is not a surprising outcome given the components involved, but the data quantifies just how far behind this setup falls. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 9700F, is a very strong processor by its own benchmarks, holding a 94th percentile rank against all CPUs tested. Its average benchmark score of 69996 places it in the company of top-tier chips like the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (avg score 69875, delta 0.2%), Intel Core i7-14700KF (avg score 70163, delta -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (avg score 69515, delta 0.7%), and Intel Core i7-14700K (avg score 69355, delta 0.9%). The Ryzen 7 9700F essentially trades blows with these high-end rivals, sitting within 1% of all of them in aggregate CPU performance.

Conversely, the GPU, AMD Radeon RX 580, is an end-of-life product from 2017 with a 53rd percentile rank among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 12928 puts it in the same performance class as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile (avg score 12940, delta -0.1%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (avg score 12986, delta -0.4%), AMD Radeon 740M (avg score 12870, delta 0.5%), and AMD FirePro W5100 (avg score 12847, delta 0.6%). While the RX 580 is not a weak card in absolute terms, it is nowhere near the class of the Ryzen 7 9700F. The combination of a 94th percentile CPU with a 53rd percentile GPU creates a massive bottleneck. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V, the benchmark results show that the GPU is consistently the component dragging down performance. The CPU has ample headroom, but the RX 580 simply cannot render frames fast enough to utilize it.

The low combo rank is also reflected in the measured FPS data. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system hits 85 FPS on average, which is playable. However, at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average drops to just 15 FPS, which is effectively unplayable. The spread between the best and worst case scenarios is enormous, and it is entirely dictated by the GPU’s workload. The data suggests that if you are considering this pairing for Fivem, you should expect a subpar experience relative to most other systems in the database. The CPU is not the problem; the GPU is.

Q: What is the worst FPS this combo achieves in Fivem?

A: The lowest average FPS recorded is 15 at 3840x2160 resolution with Ultra settings. At the same 4K resolution, High settings yield 20 FPS and Medium settings yield 25 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more responsible for the low combo rank?

A: The GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 9700F ranks in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, while the RX 580 ranks in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs. The measured FPS shows a steep drop as resolution and settings increase, which is typical of a GPU bottleneck.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a stark scaling pattern across resolutions, which clearly identifies the GPU as the performance limiter. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 85 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low settings, the average drops to 56 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 31 FPS, which is a 64% drop from the 1080p Low result. This is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance: as the pixel count increases, the render workload grows faster than the CPU can compensate, and the RX 580’s limited compute power becomes the bottleneck.

The scaling pattern holds across all settings. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 54 at 1080p, to 35 at 1440p, to 20 at 4K. That is a 63% drop from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the numbers are 67 FPS at 1080p, 44 FPS at 1440p, and 25 FPS at 4K, a 63% drop as well. At Ultra settings, the average is 42 FPS at 1080p, 27 FPS at 1440p, and 15 FPS at 4K, a 64% drop. The consistency of these percentage drops—all hovering around 63-64% from 1080p to 4K—indicates that the GPU is saturating at every resolution. The CPU is not the limiting factor because if it were, the FPS would remain relatively flat across resolutions, with the CPU being the constraining component regardless of pixel count. Instead, we see FPS scale almost linearly with the number of pixels, which is the hallmark of a GPU bottleneck.

The implication for a builder is straightforward: this combination is not suited for high-resolution gaming in Fivem. At 1080p, it can deliver playable frame rates, especially on Low and Medium settings. At 1440p, performance becomes marginal, with only Low settings exceeding 50 FPS. At 4K, the system is essentially unplayable, with all settings below 31 FPS. The data suggests that if you want to run Fivem at 1440p or higher, you would need a significantly more powerful GPU, as the Ryzen 7 9700F has ample headroom to feed a faster graphics card.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. Starting at 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. With Low settings, the average FPS is 85, which is the highest figure recorded for this pairing. Medium settings produce an average of 67 FPS, with a minimum of 57 and a maximum of 77 FPS. High settings drop the average to 54 FPS. Ultra settings bring the average down to 42 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of playable frame rates on most settings, though Ultra will be borderline for those used to higher refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings yield an average of 56 FPS. Medium settings average 44 FPS, with a minimum of 38 and a maximum of 51 FPS. High settings average 35 FPS. Ultra settings average 27 FPS. At this resolution, only Low settings consistently stay above 50 FPS, and Ultra dips below 30 FPS, which is generally considered the threshold for acceptable smoothness in fast-paced games like Fivem. The step from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 35% of the average FPS across all settings, which is a significant hit.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles. Low settings average 31 FPS. Medium settings average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 21 and a maximum of 28 FPS. High settings average 20 FPS. Ultra settings average 15 FPS. No settings preset at 4K reaches even 32 FPS, and the Ultra preset is clearly unplayable. The minimum FPS recorded on Medium at 4K is 21 FPS, which would cause noticeable stuttering in a multiplayer environment where frame pacing matters. For a game like Fivem, which relies on smooth online interactions, these frame rates are far below what is recommended.

The data breakdown shows a clear hierarchy: 1080p is the only resolution where this combo can be considered viable for Fivem, and even then, Ultra settings may not satisfy users with high-refresh-rate monitors. The lack of min/max FPS data for most presets (only Medium settings at each resolution have min/max values) limits deeper analysis, but the average figures alone are sufficient to characterize the performance. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 43 FPS (85 vs 42), which highlights how much the RX 580 struggles with the higher graphical fidelity demands of Ultra settings, even at the lowest resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is the primary constraint in this combo, and its specifications explain why. The GPU is built on the Polaris 20 chip using the GCN 4.0 architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 32 raster operation units. Its base clock is 1257 MHz with a boost clock of 1340 MHz, and the memory runs at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The 8 GB of GDDR5 memory sits on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. These are modest specifications by modern standards, and the GPU’s benchmark results reflect that.

The RX 580’s PassMark G3D score is 8813, and its overall average benchmark score is 12928, placing it in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile (delta -0.1%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (delta -0.4%), AMD Radeon 740M (delta 0.5%), and AMD FirePro W5100 (delta 0.6%). All of these are within 1% of the RX 580 in aggregate performance, meaning the RX 580 is firmly in the mid-range tier from several generations ago. For Fivem, which is based on Grand Theft Auto V’s engine, the GPU’s fill rate and compute capabilities are what determine frame rates at higher resolutions.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU’s role is evident in the resolution scaling. At 1080p, the RX 580 can push 85 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 42 FPS on Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is a 50% reduction, which suggests that the GPU’s shading units and texture units are overwhelmed by the increased draw calls and post-processing effects. At 4K, the GPU’s 32 ROPs and 256-bit memory bus are insufficient, as evidenced by the 31 FPS on Low and 15 FPS on Ultra. The memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s becomes a bottleneck at higher resolutions, where the GPU must access more texture data and render to a much larger framebuffer.

The RX 580’s 8 GB of VRAM is technically sufficient for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, as the game is not known for extreme VRAM usage. However, the GPU’s compute power (6.175 TFLOPS FP32) is the limiting factor. The GPU’s TDP of 185 W and suggested PSU of 450 W indicate that it is not an efficient card by modern standards, but those numbers are not directly relevant to its in-game performance. What matters is that the RX 580 is a legacy part from 2017 (release date 2017-04-17) that has been surpassed by several generations of GPUs. In this combo, it is the clear weak link, and any upgrade path would involve replacing the GPU first to see meaningful FPS gains in Fivem.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is a powerful processor that is vastly underutilized in this pairing. It is an 8-core, 16-thread CPU based on the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Granite Ridge, and manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and it has a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and it features 32 MB of shared L3 cache, with 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 80 KB of L1 cache per core. It is an unlocked multiplier part (multiplierUnlocked: true) and was released on 2025-09-15 with a launch MSRP of $289.

The CPU’s benchmark scores are exceptional. Its PassMark single-thread score is 4691, and its multi-thread score is 36470. The average benchmark score is 69996, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all high-end desktop and mobile parts: the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (delta 0.2%), Intel Core i7-14700KF (delta -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (delta 0.7%), and Intel Core i7-14700K (delta 0.9%). The Ryzen 7 9700F is essentially tied with these chips, which are all flagship or near-flagship processors from the previous generation. This means the CPU has more than enough headroom to drive any modern GPU in Fivem.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU’s role is to handle the game’s simulation, physics, and AI logic, as well as the overhead of the multiplayer framework. Fivem is known to be CPU-intensive in certain scenarios, particularly in crowded servers with many players and vehicles. The Ryzen 7 9700F’s 8 cores and 16 threads are well-suited for this task, and its high boost clock of 5.50 GHz ensures strong single-threaded performance, which is critical for games that rely on a primary render thread. The data from the measured FPS shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 85 FPS, which is likely close to the CPU’s limit for Fivem in that scenario. However, at 1080p Ultra, the FPS drops to 42, which is a GPU limitation, not a CPU one.

The fact that the combo ranks 2723 out of 3005 is not a reflection of the CPU’s capability. The Ryzen 7 9700F is a top-tier processor that would be paired with a high-end GPU in most systems. In this combo, the CPU is effectively waiting for the RX 580 to deliver frames. The 94th percentile CPU rank versus the 53rd percentile GPU rank illustrates the severe imbalance. If you were to swap the RX 580 for a GPU with a similar percentile rank to the CPU (i.e., a top-tier card), the combo rank in Fivem would improve dramatically because the CPU would no longer be the bottleneck. The data confirms that the CPU is not the issue here; it is the GPU that holds this combination back.
