How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 53 out of 3005 combinations puts it in the 98th percentile of all tested systems for Fivem. This is an exceptional result, but it is worth remembering the gap between this combo and the very top performers is not huge in percentage terms. The data shows that this pairing is capable of delivering a consistently smooth experience, but the ranking reflects that there are a handful of other combinations that edge it out, likely due to slightly stronger single-thread CPU performance or more optimized memory configurations.

The CPU itself sits in the 94th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 69996. Its nearest rivals are extremely close: the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70163 (0.2% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515 (0.7% lower). These deltas are within the margin of error, meaning the Ryzen 7 9700F is essentially performance-equivalent to these other top-tier chips for general compute tasks. The GPU is in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 79842. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79605, 0.3% higher) and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (80959, 1.4% higher), showing that the RTX 5090 is a top-tier card, though not the absolute fastest in every synthetic test.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and features a massive 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. This is a critical specification for Fivem, a multiplayer modification that often loads large amounts of custom assets and textures. The 32 GB frame buffer ensures that even heavily modded servers will not run into VRAM limitations, which is a common source of stuttering on lower-capacity cards. The card’s base clock is 2017 MHz, boosting to 2407 MHz, and it has 21760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU’s role is substantial but not always the primary bottleneck. At 4K, the RTX 5090’s raw compute power (104.8 TFLOPS FP32) is fully engaged, and the measured FPS scales directly with the graphics preset. However, the data reveals that the GPU’s performance headroom is vast; at lower resolutions, the frame rates are so high that the CPU is likely the limiting factor. The card’s pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s ensure that it can handle the complex geometry and texture-heavy scenes common in Fivem’s city environments without breaking a sweat. The RTX 5090 also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is relevant for any future Fivem updates that might leverage newer rendering features.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, which is crucial for Fivem’s single-threaded nature. Fivem is notoriously CPU-bound in many scenarios, particularly in dense urban areas with many players and NPCs. The 9700F’s high boost clock, combined with its 32 MB of shared L3 cache, provides the low-latency, high-frequency performance needed to maintain high frame rates in these situations.

The CPU’s benchmark scores support this. It scores 4691 in single-threaded tests and 36470 in multithreaded tests. Its nearest rivals are all within 1% in average score, indicating that the 9700F is a top-tier gaming CPU. The 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for Fivem, as the game does not scale well beyond a few cores. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (89.6 GB/s bandwidth) contribute to a responsive system overall. The data suggests that the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU is capable of much higher frame rates than the CPU can feed it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo performs across different resolutions and settings in Fivem.

1920x1080: At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high. On Low settings, the combo averages 377 FPS. Medium settings yield an average of 297 FPS, with a minimum of 253 FPS and a maximum of 342 FPS. High settings produce 238 FPS on average. Ultra settings drop the average to 185 FPS. The data shows a clear step-down from Low to Medium (a 80 FPS drop), and then a more gradual decline as settings increase. The minimum FPS of 253 at Medium is still very high, indicating a smooth experience, but the gap between Low and Ultra (nearly 200 FPS) shows that the CPU is being pushed hard at this resolution.

2560x1440: At 1440p, the performance remains stellar. Low settings average 248 FPS. Medium settings average 196 FPS, with a minimum of 166 FPS and a maximum of 225 FPS. High settings yield 157 FPS on average, and Ultra drops to 122 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 126 FPS drop, which is more pronounced than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to become more of a factor. The minimum FPS of 166 at Medium is still well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most monitors, making this a very smooth experience.

3840x2160: At 4K, the GPU takes center stage. Low settings average 138 FPS. Medium settings average 109 FPS, with a minimum of 92 FPS and a maximum of 125 FPS. High settings drop to 87 FPS on average, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. The scaling is steep: from Low to Ultra, there is a 71 FPS drop. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset dips below the 70 FPS mark, which may be a concern for players with high-refresh-rate 4K monitors. The minimum FPS of 92 at Medium shows that the combo can hold a high frame rate even in demanding scenes at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear guide for optimizing the experience with this combo. For players with a 1080p monitor, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice. The average of 185 FPS is well above the refresh rate of virtually all 1080p displays, and the visual quality improvement over High (238 FPS) is worth the frame rate trade-off. There is no reason to use Low or Medium settings at this resolution, as the combo is not struggling to maintain high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best choice for most users. The average of 122 FPS is above the 120 Hz refresh rate of many 1440p monitors, and the minimum FPS in the Medium preset (166 FPS) suggests that the Ultra preset will still have excellent frame pacing. If you have a 165 Hz or 240 Hz monitor, the High preset (157 FPS) is a better choice to take full advantage of the display’s capabilities.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation is more nuanced. The Ultra preset averages 67 FPS, which is playable but may not be smooth on a 60 Hz monitor. The High preset averages 87 FPS, providing a more comfortable margin above 60 FPS. For a 120 Hz 4K monitor, the Medium preset (109 FPS) is the best option, as it provides a frame rate that is close to the refresh rate limit while maintaining good visual quality. The Low preset (138 FPS) is not recommended, as the visual quality loss is significant for only a modest frame rate increase. The data suggests that the Medium preset at 4K offers the best balance of performance and visual fidelity, with a minimum FPS of 92 ensuring a smooth experience in most scenes.
