Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 delivers a decidedly entry-level experience in Fivem, with measured frame rates that are heavily constrained by the graphics card across all tested settings. The data shows a CPU with substantial headroom that is consistently bottlenecked by a GPU operating at the lower end of the performance spectrum, resulting in a combo that ranks near the bottom of the database for this title.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is a Zen 5 (Granite Ridge) architecture processor built on a 4 nm process by TSMC, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor integrates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, and the CPU connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes.

In synthetic PassMark testing, this CPU demonstrates strong multi-threaded capability with a multi-thread score of 36,470 and a single-thread score of 4,691. Its average benchmark score of 69,996 places it at the 94th percentile of all CPUs tested, indicating high overall processing power. The nearest rivals show a tightly clustered performance envelope: the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69,875 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70,163 (0.2% lower), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69,515 (0.7% higher), and the Intel Core i7-14700K scores 69,355 (0.9% higher). These deltas are negligible, confirming the 9700F sits squarely in high-end desktop territory.

For Fivem, a multiplayer modification that typically relies on single-thread performance for game logic and physics, the 9700F’s strong single-thread score of 4,691 is more than sufficient. The 8-core/16-thread configuration provides ample parallelism for background tasks and streaming, which is relevant in a multiplayer environment with many entities. However, the measured FPS in this combo does not reflect this CPU strength. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 76 FPS, which is the highest recorded value, but at 1080p Ultra it drops to 37 FPS. This massive scaling with settings indicates the GPU is the limiting factor, not the CPU. The CPU’s 94th percentile ranking versus the GPU’s 40th percentile ranking (detailed later) underscores a profound imbalance; the processor is effectively idle waiting for the graphics card to render each frame.

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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, which strongly indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in this combo. Starting at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 76 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low settings, the average drops to 50 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, the average further drops to 28 FPS, representing a 63% reduction from the 1080p baseline.

This scaling behavior is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario. The GTX 1650’s rendering workload increases proportionally with pixel count, and its limited 4 GB GDDR5 memory bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s becomes a significant constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU, with its high single-thread and multi-thread scores, is not the limiting factor; if the CPU were the bottleneck, frame rates would remain relatively flat across resolutions as the GPU would be waiting for the processor. Instead, the steep decline in FPS from 76 to 28 at Low settings across 1080p to 4K confirms the GPU is saturated.

The same pattern holds for other settings. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 48 at 1080p, to 32 at 1440p, and finally to 18 at 4K. At Medium settings, the averages are 60, 40, and 22 FPS for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic fall: 37 FPS at 1080p, 25 FPS at 1440p, and 14 FPS at 4K. In every case, the incremental FPS loss from one resolution step to the next is substantial, reinforcing that the GTX 1650’s compute capabilities and memory subsystem are overwhelmed. The data suggests that any attempt to improve performance should focus on reducing the GPU’s workload, such as lowering resolution or settings, rather than upgrading the CPU, which has ample headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best performance. With Low settings, the average FPS is 76, providing a playable experience for most scenarios. Medium settings yield an average of 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69 FPS, offering a balanced trade-off between visual quality and smoothness. High settings reduce the average to 48 FPS, which is still marginally playable but begins to show signs of strain. Ultra settings drop the average to 37 FPS, a level where responsiveness in a multiplayer environment may suffer.

At 2560x1440, performance degrades noticeably across all presets. Low settings average 50 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal for fast-paced gameplay. Medium settings average 40 FPS, with a minimum of 34 and maximum of 45 FPS, indicating a playable but compromised experience. High settings fall to 32 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 25 FPS average. These numbers suggest that 1440p is only viable at Low or Medium settings for a reasonably smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 28 FPS, Medium settings average 22 FPS (with a minimum of 19 and maximum of 25 FPS), High settings average 18 FPS, and Ultra settings average 14 FPS. None of these configurations approach the 30 FPS threshold typically considered the minimum for playability, and the 4K experience is uniformly poor. The data clearly shows that 4K is outside the realistic operating envelope for this GPU, regardless of settings.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo ranks 2,887 out of 3,005 tested combinations for Fivem, placing it in the bottom 4% of all configurations. This ranking is a direct consequence of the GTX 1650’s limited performance, as the CPU is a high-end part that would normally be paired with a much more capable graphics card. The rank reflects the overall playability and performance ceiling of the pair, and the low position is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows sub-60 FPS averages at all settings except 1080p Low.

The rank implies that the vast majority of other tested combos—2,887 of them—deliver better performance in Fivem. This is not surprising given the GPU’s 40th percentile ranking among all GPUs, which places it below the median. The CPU’s high percentile (94th) cannot compensate for the GPU’s deficit in a graphically intensive game like Fivem, which relies heavily on the rendering pipeline. The combo’s low rank serves as a cautionary indicator for users expecting smooth multiplayer gameplay; the data suggests that this pairing is suited for low-resolution, low-detail play rather than high-fidelity experiences.

Furthermore, the rank highlights the imbalance between the two components. In a balanced system, the CPU and GPU would have comparable performance percentiles, but here the gap is 54 percentage points. This mismatch means that the system’s overall performance is dictated almost entirely by the GPU, and the CPU’s capabilities are largely untapped in this specific game. For the database, this combo serves as an example of how a powerful processor can be severely limited by a weak graphics card, resulting in a low overall ranking despite the CPU’s strength.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Given the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the user’s priority for frame rate versus visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, the Low preset offers the best performance with an average of 76 FPS, which is the only configuration that consistently exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. This is the recommended preset for competitive or fast-paced multiplayer scenarios where responsiveness is paramount. The Medium preset at 1080p is a viable alternative, with an average of 60 FPS and a minimum of 51 FPS, providing a slightly better visual experience while maintaining acceptable smoothness. For users who prioritize visuals over frame rate, the High preset at 48 FPS average is the highest quality option that remains marginally playable, but the Ultra preset at 37 FPS average is not recommended due to the significant drop in fluidity.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only sensible choice, with an average of 50 FPS. The Medium preset at 40 FPS is borderline, but the measured minimum of 34 FPS suggests potential for noticeable dips. High and Ultra presets at 32 and 25 FPS respectively are too slow for a smooth experience. At 3840x2160, no preset is recommended, as all averages fall below 30 FPS, with the highest being 28 FPS on Low. The data indicates that users should avoid 4K entirely with this combo and stick to 1080p or possibly 1440p Low for the best balance.

The experience per the measured rows is clearest at 1080p Medium, which offers a 60 FPS average with a tight frame time range (51-69 FPS), suggesting consistent performance without major hitches. This preset provides a good middle ground, but the Low preset’s higher frame rate headroom makes it the safer choice for ensuring a stable experience in busy multiplayer moments. The data does not support using Ultra settings at any resolution, as the average FPS never exceeds 37, which is below the threshold for comfortable gameplay.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a Turing-architecture GPU built on a 12 nm process at TSMC, featuring 896 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. It operates with a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with a memory clock of 2001 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The GPU has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. Its compute capabilities include 2.984 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 53.28 GPixel/s. The card is end-of-life with a 75 W TDP and requires no power connectors, drawing power solely from the PCIe slot.

In synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 1650 scores 7,880 in PassMark G3D, which places it at the 40th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 7,472 is closely matched by its nearest rivals: the AMD Radeon HD 8850M scores 7,447 (0.3% higher), the Intel UHD Graphics 750 scores 7,441 (0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon R7 350 scores 7,425 (0.6% higher), and the Intel Arc A310 scores 7,550 (1% lower). These deltas are small, indicating the GTX 1650 sits in a low-performance tier, well below the median GPU.

The GPU’s role in Fivem is decisive, as the measured FPS data shows it is the bottleneck in every configuration. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is a notable limitation; while Fivem’s textures may not fully saturate it at Low settings, the Ultra preset at 4K likely exceeds the available memory, contributing to the 14 FPS average. The 128.1 GB/s memory bandwidth is also modest, and the data shows a steep performance drop with increasing resolution, which is consistent with memory bandwidth constraints. The GPU’s FP32 throughput of 2.984 TFLOPS is low by modern standards, and the measured 76 FPS at 1080p Low represents the absolute ceiling for this card. The 40th percentile ranking relative to the CPU’s 94th percentile confirms that the GTX 1650 is the limiting component, and any performance improvements in Fivem would require a GPU upgrade rather than a CPU change.
