# Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 reveals a pronounced resolution scaling curve that tells a clear story about where the bottleneck shifts. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 246 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 162 FPS, a 34% reduction, and at 3840x2160 Low the average falls to 90 FPS, which is 63% below the 1080p figure. This steep decline as resolution increases indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as the limiting factor.

The High preset tells a similar but slightly different tale. At 1080p High, the combo averages 155 FPS; at 1440p High it drops to 102 FPS (34% lower); and at 4K High it falls to 57 FPS (63% lower than 1080p). The percentage drops are nearly identical between Low and High presets across resolutions, which suggests that the scaling is driven primarily by pixel count rather than by settings complexity. This consistency implies that the rendering pipeline is being stretched uniformly as resolution climbs.

Ultra settings amplify the resolution sensitivity further. The 1080p Ultra average of 120 FPS falls to 79 FPS at 1440p (34% drop) and then to 44 FPS at 4K (63% drop from 1080p). The pattern is remarkably regular: each resolution step roughly halves the frame rate relative to the previous step when considering the full range. The data shows that the 4K Ultra result of 44 FPS is the lowest measured value in the entire dataset, which suggests that at maximum settings and maximum resolution, the RX 9070 is being pushed to its limits.

The fact that the delta between Low and Ultra at each resolution remains relatively consistent — for instance, at 1080p the gap is 126 FPS (246 vs 120), at 1440p it is 83 FPS (162 vs 79), and at 4K it is 46 FPS (90 vs 44) — indicates that the GPU's workload scales with both resolution and settings in a predictable manner. The data implies that the CPU is not the primary constraint even at 1080p, because the frame rates scale so consistently with pixel count. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the 1080p and 1440p results to converge, but they do not.

# CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture with a 3.80 GHz base clock and 5.50 GHz boost clock. It features 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel configuration delivering 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The CPU's PassMark multithread score is 36,470, and its single-thread score is 4,691, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs tested.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer game built on a modified GTA V engine, the CPU's role is often significant due to the game's dependence on physics, NPC simulation, and network synchronization. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 246 FPS, which indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high frame rates. However, the question is whether the Ryzen 7 9700F becomes a limiting factor at any point in the measured data.

Comparing the Ryzen 7 9700F to its nearest rivals in the PassMark average benchmark score, it sits at 69,996 average. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69,875 (0.2% lower), the Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70,163 (0.2% higher), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69,515 (0.7% lower), and the Intel Core i7-14700K scores 69,355 (0.9% lower). These rivals are all within 1% of the 9700F's average score, which means that in CPU-bound scenarios, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical performance.

The 8-core, 16-thread configuration is well-suited for a game like Fivem, which can utilize multiple threads for various game systems. The Zen 5 architecture with its 4 nm process node from TSMC provides high instructions-per-clock efficiency, and the boost clock of 5.50 GHz is among the highest available. The measured FPS data does not show any resolution where the frame rate stagnates, which would indicate a CPU bottleneck. Even at 1080p Low where the GPU has the least work, the combo achieves 246 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it still manages 120 FPS — both suggest the CPU is keeping up with the GPU's demands.

The PassMark data compression score of 421,988 and integer math score of 120,788 indicate strong general-purpose compute capability, which is relevant for Fivem's server-side simulation and client-side physics. The data encryption score of 21,488 and extended instructions score of 33,688 show that the CPU handles a variety of workloads competently. However, the benchmark results for Fivem specifically show that the frame rates are heavily influenced by resolution, which points to GPU-bound scenarios in most cases.

# GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 644.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 1330 MHz, a boost clock of 2520 MHz, and a game clock of 2070 MHz. With 3,584 shading units, 224 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, the RX 9070 offers substantial rasterization throughput. Its FP32 performance is 36.13 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score is 25,381, and its percentile vs all GPUs is 69, which places it above average but not at the top tier. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (23,736, 0.6% lower), AMD Radeon RX 6800S (24,063, 0.8% higher), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile (23,628, 1.1% lower), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (24,170, 1.2% higher). These rivals are all within 1.2% of the RX 9070's average benchmark score, indicating that the GPU competes with a range of mid-to-high-end cards from previous generations.

In Fivem, the RX 9070's 16 GB of VRAM is likely more than sufficient, as the game's textures and assets are not particularly demanding by modern standards. The memory bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s provides ample throughput for high-resolution rendering. The measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo averages 44 FPS, which is a playable but not ideal frame rate. At 4K High, it improves to 57 FPS, and at 4K Medium it reaches 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS and maximum of 81 FPS.

The GPU's clock speeds are notable: the boost clock of 2520 MHz and game clock of 2070 MHz indicate that the card can sustain high performance under load. The RDNA 4.0 architecture with 56 RT cores provides hardware ray tracing support, though Fivem does not heavily utilize ray tracing in its default settings. The pixel rate of 322.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 564.5 GTexel/s give the GPU the raw throughput needed to handle the resolution scaling observed in the data.

The fact that the combo's FPS drops so consistently with resolution increases suggests that the RX 9070 is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the 44 FPS average indicates the GPU is fully saturated, while at 1080p Low the 246 FPS shows the GPU has headroom. The data implies that the RX 9070 is a capable GPU for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K with high settings, users may need to compromise on quality to maintain smooth frame rates.
