Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a robust Fivem experience across all tested configurations. The data shows a system capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K remaining playable depending on the graphics preset. This analysis breaks down the measured performance metrics, compares the combo against other tested configurations, and examines the specific roles of the CPU and GPU in shaping the final frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy of performance across the four available settings presets. For players with high-refresh-rate monitors at 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 345 FPS, while Medium achieves 272 FPS, High reaches 218 FPS, and Ultra drops to 169 FPS. At this resolution, all presets clear the 144 Hz threshold comfortably, so the choice depends on whether visual fidelity or maximum frame rate is prioritized. The Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot for 1080p, as it retains a substantial frame rate advantage over High while offering a more balanced visual experience than Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rate deltas between presets become more pronounced. Low produces 227 FPS, Medium 179 FPS, High 143 FPS, and Ultra 111 FPS. The High preset at 1440p is the first configuration to fall below the 144 FPS mark, suggesting that players targeting maximum refresh rates should consider Medium or Low. The Ultra preset at this resolution still provides a smooth experience for 60 Hz displays, but the 68 FPS gap between Medium and Ultra indicates diminishing returns for the highest settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Low yields 126 FPS, Medium 99 FPS, High 80 FPS, and Ultra 62 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only tested configuration that dips below the 60 FPS baseline, making it unsuitable for competitive play but marginally acceptable for slower-paced scenarios. The Medium preset at 4K offers the best balance, providing nearly 100 FPS while maintaining a reasonable level of detail. For the overall best experience across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently provides the most favorable frame rate-to-visual quality ratio, with the 1080p Medium result of 272 FPS being particularly strong.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 345 FPS at 1080p to 227 FPS at 1440p, a 34% reduction, and then to 126 FPS at 4K, a further 44% reduction. This scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU's workload remains relatively constant while the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

The Medium settings show a similar trend: 272 FPS at 1080p, 179 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 99 FPS at 4K (a further 45% drop). The High settings follow the same pattern with 218 FPS at 1080p, 143 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 80 FPS at 4K (a 44% drop). The consistency of these percentage reductions across different settings suggests that the resolution scaling is largely independent of the graphics preset, pointing to a GPU-bound scenario at higher pixel counts.

The Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic scaling, with 169 FPS at 1080p dropping to 111 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop) and finally to 62 FPS at 4K (a 44% drop). The fact that the 4K Ultra result falls below 60 FPS confirms that this configuration is the most demanding on the GPU. The data suggests that players targeting 4K should stick to Medium or lower settings to maintain playable frame rates, while 1080p and 1440p users have more flexibility in their preset choices. The RTX 5080's 16 GB memory buffer and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for this game, as the bottleneck is clearly computational rather than memory-related.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination achieves a rank of 155 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 94th percentile of all configurations.

The combo's ranking suggests that this pairing is well-balanced for Fivem, as the CPU and GPU performance levels are closely matched. The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, has an average score of 69875 (0.2% lower), while the Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70163 (0.2% higher). These negligible differences indicate that the choice of CPU within this performance tier has minimal impact on the overall combo ranking.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5080's nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which scores 57367 (2.2% higher on average benchmarks). However, the RTX 5080's measured performance in Fivem demonstrates its ability to deliver high frame rates across all tested settings, from 345 FPS at 1080p Low to 62 FPS at 4K Ultra. The combo's position at rank 155 suggests that it outperforms the vast majority of tested configurations, with only 154 other combos achieving better results in this specific game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The CPU is built on the Zen 5 architecture using TSMC's 4 nm process node, with 32 MB of shared L3 cache. These specifications contribute to its PassMark multithread score of 36470 and single-thread score of 4691, both of which are strong indicators of gaming performance.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is primarily to handle the game's simulation and network logic, which is particularly demanding in multiplayer scenarios. The 1080p Low setting produces 345 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all configurations. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough frames to saturate its output. The minimal frame rate drop from Low to Medium at 1080p (345 to 272 FPS) indicates that the CPU can maintain high throughput even as the GPU workload increases.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (89.6 GB/s bandwidth) provide efficient power characteristics, though these factors have no direct impact on measured FPS. The data shows that the CPU does not become a limiting factor until the GPU is pushed to its maximum capability at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 62 FPS. The CPU's PassMark physics score of 2122 and integer math score of 120788 suggest robust general processing power, which is beneficial for the complex calculations required in Fivem's multiplayer environment.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured performance data provides a comprehensive view of the system's capabilities across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 345 FPS (Low), 272 FPS (Medium), 218 FPS (High), and 169 FPS (Ultra). The Medium setting has a minimum of 232 FPS and a maximum of 313 FPS, indicating a 81 FPS variance that could cause minor frame pacing inconsistencies.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop to 227 FPS (Low), 179 FPS (Medium), 143 FPS (High), and 111 FPS (Ultra). The Medium setting at this resolution shows a minimum of 152 FPS and a maximum of 206 FPS, a variance of 54 FPS. This tighter range suggests more consistent frame delivery compared to the 1080p Medium result.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are 126 FPS (Low), 99 FPS (Medium), 80 FPS (High), and 62 FPS (Ultra). The Medium setting at 4K displays a minimum of 85 FPS and a maximum of 114 FPS, a variance of 29 FPS. This is the smallest variance across all resolutions, indicating that the system becomes more stable as the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck.

The progression from Low to Ultra settings at each resolution shows a consistent pattern of performance degradation. At 1080p, the drop from Low to Ultra is 176 FPS (51%), at 1440p it is 116 FPS (51%), and at 4K it is 64 FPS (51%). This consistent percentage reduction across resolutions confirms that the settings presets have a multiplicative effect on performance, independent of the resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB203 chip manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, with base and boost clocks of 2295 MHz and 2617 MHz respectively. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory operates across a 256-bit bus, providing 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Fivem, the GPU's processing power is the primary determinant of performance at higher resolutions. The 4K settings show a clear GPU-bound scenario, where the average frame rate drops from 126 FPS (Low) to 62 FPS (Ultra). The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 36565 and DirectX 12 score of 151 indicate strong raw performance, while its FP32 throughput of 56.28 TFLOPS supports high-level graphical computations.

The GPU's 84 ray tracing cores and 336 tensor cores provide advanced rendering capabilities, though Fivem's performance data does not specifically isolate these features. The measured FPS at 4K Medium (99 FPS) suggests that the GPU can handle modern graphical workloads efficiently, while the 1080p Low result of 345 FPS demonstrates its ability to push extremely high frame rates when the CPU is not constrained.

The GPU's 360 W TDP and suggested 750 W PSU indicate substantial power requirements, but these factors do not directly influence the measured performance. The RTX 5080's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, has a 2.2% higher average benchmark score (57367 vs 56083), yet the RTX 5080's measured results in Fivem show it is more than capable of delivering excellent frame rates across all tested configurations.
