Fivem

The data presents a clear picture for the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination in Fivem. The measured results show this is an exceptionally high-performing setup, capable of delivering high frame rates even at the most demanding settings and resolutions. The following analysis breaks down the performance characteristics, focusing on the optimal settings, the role of each component, and how the combo stacks up against the broader database of tested configurations.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate a significant trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate across the four tested presets. The data shows that the "Ultra" preset, while visually demanding, incurs a substantial performance cost. At 4K, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 66 FPS, which is a considerable drop from the 85 FPS achieved at "High" settings. This pattern persists at lower resolutions; at 1440p, Ultra yields 119 FPS compared to 153 FPS on High, and at 1080p, the difference is 180 FPS versus 232 FPS. The performance delta between High and Ultra is consistent, suggesting that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU.

The "Medium" preset offers a middle ground. At 4K, it achieves an average of 106 FPS, which is 21 FPS higher than High. The only recorded frame time data in the entire pack appears for the Medium preset, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS at 4K, and similar data at 1440p and 1080p. This indicates that while Medium is faster, it also has a measurable variance in frame delivery.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the "High" preset appears to be the optimal choice. It provides a substantial improvement over Medium in visual fidelity without the severe performance penalty of Ultra. The data shows that High settings maintain a very playable 85 FPS at 4K, which is above the threshold for many high-refresh-rate displays. At 1440p and 1080p, the High preset delivers exceptionally high frame rates of 153 and 232 FPS respectively, making it ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset is only recommended for scenarios where maximum visual quality is paramount and the user is willing to accept a lower frame rate, potentially on a 60Hz display at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this configuration, and the data shows it is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions and settings. The GPU's massive memory pool of 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. This immense bandwidth is crucial for handling the high-resolution textures and complex scenes that can be present in a multiplayer game like Fivem. The card's architecture, Ada Lovelace, is built on a 5 nm process and contains 16,384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. Its boost clock is rated at 2520 MHz.

The GPU's performance is clearly reflected in the measured FPS. The transition from 1080p to 4K at a given setting shows a significant drop in frame rate, which is the expected behavior for a GPU-bound scenario. For example, at High settings, the average FPS drops from 232 at 1080p to 153 at 1440p and further to 85 at 4K. This scaling demonstrates that the RTX 4090 is being pushed harder as resolution increases, but it remains powerful enough to deliver high frame rates even at 4K. The card's synthetic benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 38194 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 271631, corroborate its position as a top-tier performer, placing it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs.

The data suggests that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are extremely high, exceeding 300 FPS on Low settings. This indicates that the CPU is likely becoming the bottleneck at these lower resolutions, as the GPU is capable of rendering frames faster than the CPU can feed it data. This is a classic sign of a high-end GPU paired with a capable but less powerful CPU in a CPU-intensive game scenario.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 in Fivem is exceptional. The combo is ranked 84th out of 3005 tested combinations, placing it in the top 2.8% of all configurations in the database. This high ranking confirms the strength of both components and their synergy in this specific game. The rank indicates that this setup outperforms the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings tested, making it a top-tier choice for achieving the highest possible frame rates in Fivem.

This ranking is supported by the raw performance data. The average FPS figures across all settings and resolutions are exceptionally high. For instance, the 368 FPS average at 1080p Low and the 242 FPS average at 1440p Low are results that only a very small fraction of systems could achieve. The fact that the combo can maintain an average of 85 FPS at 4K High settings further solidifies its position as a high-end performer. The rank of 84 out of 3005 is not just a number; it reflects the consistent ability of this hardware to deliver a fluid and responsive gaming experience in Fivem, regardless of the graphical demands placed upon it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at the performance across different resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance. The Low preset yields an average of 368 FPS, Medium produces 290 FPS (with a minimum of 247 and maximum of 334), High achieves 232 FPS, and the Ultra preset still manages a very high 180 FPS. These numbers show that at 1080p, the system is capable of far exceeding the refresh rates of most monitors, even on the most demanding presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains very high but shows the expected scaling. The Low preset averages 242 FPS, Medium averages 191 FPS (with a minimum of 163 and maximum of 220), High averages 153 FPS, and Ultra averages 119 FPS. These results are still excellent and would provide a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The data indicates that even at Ultra settings, the system is well above the 60 FPS mark.

At 3840x2160, the demands on the GPU become more apparent. The Low preset is the only one to break the 100 FPS barrier, with an average of 135 FPS. The Medium preset achieves an average of 106 FPS (with a minimum of 90 and maximum of 122). The High preset delivers a solid 85 FPS average, which is still very playable. The Ultra preset, however, drops to an average of 66 FPS, which is the only setting where the system dips into a frame rate that might be considered less than ideal for competitive play, though it is still perfectly acceptable for a single-player experience on a 60Hz display. This data shows a clear and consistent performance hierarchy across all tested resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K provides insight into the system's bottleneck. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 232 at 1080p to 153 at 1440p and then to 85 at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. This pattern is characteristic of a system that becomes increasingly GPU-bound as the resolution increases. The RTX 4090 is a powerful GPU, but rendering at 4K requires significantly more processing power than at 1080p, leading to a predictable decrease in frame rate.

However, the scaling at the Low preset tells a slightly different story. The FPS drops from 368 at 1080p to 242 at 1440p (a 34% decrease) and then to 135 at 4K (a 44% decrease from 1440p). The percentage drops are similar to the High preset, but the absolute frame rates are much higher. This suggests that even at Low settings, where the GPU load is reduced, the resolution still has a significant impact. The fact that the CPU is likely the limiting factor at 1080p Low is evident, as the frame rate of 368 is far beyond what a single-threaded game logic would typically allow. As the resolution increases, the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor, but the CPU still has to keep up with the high frame rate requests.

The data implies a dual-bottleneck scenario. At 1080p, the CPU (with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 5 architecture) is the primary constraint, preventing the system from achieving even higher frame rates. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, as its workload increases significantly. The system is well-balanced in the sense that both components are powerful enough to avoid a severe bottleneck in either direction, but the CPU is clearly the limiting factor at lower resolutions and the GPU at higher ones.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F plays a crucial role in this configuration, particularly in a game like Fivem, which is known for being CPU-intensive due to its multiplayer nature and complex scripting. The CPU features 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache, which is beneficial for holding frequently accessed game data. Its performance in synthetic benchmarks, such as a Passmark single-thread score of 4691 and a multithread score of 36470, shows it is a highly capable processor, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs.

The CPU's influence is most visible at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 368 FPS, a number that is far higher than what the GPU alone could likely produce in a CPU-bound scenario. This suggests the CPU is working at its limit to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations. The high boost clock of 5.50 GHz is crucial for single-threaded performance, which is often the primary bottleneck in game logic. The fact that the system can maintain over 180 FPS at 1080p Ultra is a strong indicator that the CPU is not severely holding back the system.

As the resolution increases to 4K, the CPU's role becomes less critical as the GPU takes on the heavier workload. The frame rate at 4K is primarily determined by the GPU's rendering capabilities. However, the CPU still needs to be powerful enough to not become a bottleneck even at 4K. The data shows that the Ryzen 7 9700F is more than adequate in this regard, as the frame rates at 4K are consistently high and scale predictably with settings. The CPU's performance is a key factor in achieving the top-tier ranking, as it prevents the system from being held back in less GPU-intensive scenarios.
