Fivem

Fivem on the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti combo exhibits a performance profile that is heavily dictated by resolution, with the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases. The data indicates that at 1080p, the system is capable of high refresh-rate gameplay, but at 4K, it falls below the 60 FPS threshold for most settings, revealing the limits of the Pascal-based graphics card.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and substantial performance drop as resolution scales from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 113 FPS at 1080p to 75 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 41 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63.7% reduction in average FPS from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the rendering load is scaling aggressively with pixel count, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern at Low settings is even more telling. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves an average of 180 FPS, which drops to 118 FPS at 1440p and then to 66 FPS at 4K. The fact that Low settings at 4K (66 FPS) still performs worse than High settings at 1080p (113 FPS) confirms that the resolution increase is placing a heavier burden on the GPU than the graphics preset changes. This is a strong indicator that the GTX 1080 Ti is the limiting component at higher resolutions.

Analyzing the Medium preset data provides further insight into the scaling trend. The average FPS at 1080p Medium is 142 FPS, which drops to 93 FPS at 1440p and 52 FPS at 4K. The frame time consistency also degrades with resolution; the minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 121, but this falls to 79 at 1440p and 44 at 4K. The gap between average and minimum FPS widens from 21 FPS at 1080p to 8 FPS at 4K, suggesting that while the average performance drops, the frame pacing becomes more variable as the GPU struggles to maintain a steady output.

The 1440p resolution appears to be the sweet spot for this combination, where the CPU's strength can still push high frame rates while the GPU is not yet completely overwhelmed. At 1440p High, the system achieves 75 FPS average, which is playable for most titles, and at Low settings it hits 118 FPS, offering a significant headroom for competitive play. The data suggests that users targeting 4K will need to make substantial compromises in settings to achieve acceptable performance, while 1440p offers a more balanced experience.
