Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces a striking performance profile in Fivem, a game known for its heavy reliance on server-side and CPU-bound logic. The measured frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets reveal a system that is overwhelmingly powerful, yet the scaling patterns expose specific bottlenecks that are worth investigating. This analysis breaks down the raw data to understand where the limits lie and what the experience truly looks like.

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

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 provides a clear picture of how this combo behaves under increasing pixel-pushing demands. At the Low preset, the average frame rate drops from 402 FPS at 1080p to 265 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 147 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63% reduction in average FPS from 1080p to 4K, which is a substantial decline. However, the absolute numbers remain exceptionally high, suggesting that even at 4K Low, the system is nowhere near a performance cliff.

Looking at the High preset, the scaling is even more telling. The average FPS falls from 254 at 1080p to 167 at 1440p, and then to 93 at 4K. This is a 63% drop from 1080p to 4K as well, but the pattern is similar. The Medium preset shows average FPS of 317 at 1080p, 209 at 1440p, and 116 at 4K. The Ultra preset yields 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 at 1440p, and 72 at 4K.

The key observation here is that the frame rate drop from 1440p to 4K is consistently larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p across all presets. For example, on Low, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 137 FPS, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 118 FPS. This suggests that while the GPU is becoming more of a factor at higher resolutions, the CPU is still playing a significant role in limiting the upper bounds. The fact that the 1080p Low preset reaches 402 FPS is a strong indicator of CPU headroom, as the GPU is likely not the primary constraint at that point. The data implies that at lower resolutions, the Ryzen 7 9700F’s 5.50 GHz boost clock is doing the heavy lifting to feed the RTX 5090 D, but as resolution increases, the GPU’s workload grows, and the frame rate begins to reflect the GPU’s rendering limits more than the CPU’s processing speed.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves the top spot in the database’s measured results for Fivem. With a comboRankInGame of 1 out of 3005 tested combos, this pairing sits at the absolute pinnacle of performance for this title. This rank is not merely a reflection of one component’s strength but rather the synergistic result of the CPU’s single-thread prowess and the GPU’s massive rendering capability.

The data indicates that no other tested combination of processor and graphics card has produced higher average frame rates in Fivem. This is a significant achievement, as Fivem’s multiplayer nature often introduces unpredictable server-side bottlenecks that can hamper even the most powerful hardware. The fact that this combo sits at rank 1 suggests that the Ryzen 7 9700F’s architecture is particularly well-suited to the game’s logic threads, while the RTX 5090 D provides ample graphics throughput to avoid creating a GPU-side limit.

While the rank is absolute, it is importantly the nearest rival CPUs in general benchmarks are very close in average score. The Ryzen 9 7940HX is only 0.2% ahead, and the Intel Core i7-14700KF is 0.2% behind in average benchmark score. This indicates that the CPU’s raw multi-threaded performance is not dramatically superior to its closest competitors, yet the combination still manages to secure the number one position. This suggests that Fivem’s specific workload favors the Zen 5 architecture’s characteristics, such as its high boost clock and IPC, rather than just pure core count or thread count.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Granite Ridge. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. In a game like Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance, the high boost clock is likely a critical factor in achieving the record-setting frame rates. The processor’s PassMark single-thread score of 4691 is a strong indicator of its ability to handle the game’s primary simulation and scripting threads efficiently.

The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache is also relevant. Fivem’s multiplayer environment often involves frequent access to shared world data and player states, and a larger cache can help reduce latency when accessing this information. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide more than enough parallel processing capacity for the game’s background tasks, such as AI, physics, and network handling, ensuring that they do not interfere with the main rendering thread.

The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 402 FPS. This high frame rate reflects the CPU’s ability to process game logic at an extremely fast rate, as the GPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor at such a low resolution and preset. The PassMark multi-thread score of 36470 and the integer math score of 120788 further support the notion that the CPU has ample headroom for complex calculations. The benchmark results indicate that the Ryzen 7 9700F is not a bottleneck in this configuration, even at frame rates well above what most displays can show. The processor’s 94th percentile ranking among all CPUs reinforces its position as a top-tier part for this workload.

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

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at the system’s capabilities at each setting and resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 402 FPS. The Medium preset averages 317 FPS, with a minimum of 270 FPS and a maximum of 365 FPS. The High preset yields an average of 254 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, produces an average of 197 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 265 FPS. The Medium preset averages 209 FPS, with a minimum of 178 FPS and a maximum of 240 FPS. The High preset averages 167 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 130 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 147 FPS. The Medium preset averages 116 FPS, with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 133 FPS. The High preset averages 93 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 72 FPS.

The data shows a clear and consistent hierarchy: lower settings always yield higher frame rates, and lower resolutions always yield higher frame rates. The Medium preset is the only one that provides minimum and maximum FPS readings, which are helpful for understanding frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 270 FPS is still exceptionally high, indicating that even in demanding scenes, the system rarely drops below a very playable threshold. The gap between Low and Medium is 85 FPS at 1080p, 56 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor as the resolution increases, reducing the relative impact of the CPU-driven settings changes.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a behemoth of a graphics card, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip. It features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing a massive 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. With a boost clock of 2407 MHz and 21760 shading units, the GPU is capable of immense compute throughput. Its PassMark G3D score of 44065 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14326 confirm its top-tier performance class.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more prominent as resolution and settings increase. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 72, which is the lowest measured figure. This is still a very playable frame rate, but it indicates that the GPU is being pushed hard by the combination of high resolution and maximum graphical fidelity. The RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for Fivem’s textures and assets, even at 4K Ultra, so VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor in these results. The card’s 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs further solidifies its position as a top-tier part.

The scaling from High to Ultra at 4K shows a drop from 93 FPS to 72 FPS, a 23% reduction. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces significant additional GPU workload, likely through increased draw distances, shadow quality, and post-processing effects. The GPU’s memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) and its 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that texture streaming and data transfer are not bottlenecks, even at the highest resolutions. The benchmark results indicate that the RTX 5090 D is the primary driver of frame rate scaling from 1440p to 4K, while the CPU remains the key factor in achieving the extremely high frame rates seen at 1080p.

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

Based on the measured data, the optimal preset depends heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For players with a high-refresh-rate 1080p monitor (240Hz or higher), the High preset is a compelling choice. It delivers an average of 254 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. The Ultra preset at 1080p still provides a very smooth 197 FPS average, making it a viable option for those who prioritize visual quality over raw frame rate.

At 1440p, the High preset stands out as the best balance. It offers an average of 167 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz or 165Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 130 FPS is also excellent for high-refresh-rate gaming, but the 37 FPS difference between High and Ultra might not be worth the visual gains for some users.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the most sensible recommendation. It provides an average of 116 FPS, which is smooth and playable on high-refresh-rate 4K displays. The High preset drops to 93 FPS, which is still very good, but the Ultra preset’s 72 FPS average might be too low for those who prefer frame rates above 100 FPS. The Medium preset’s minimum FPS of 99 at 4K is also reassuring, indicating that the system is unlikely to experience significant stutters. The data suggests that the Medium preset offers the most consistent and high-performance experience at 4K, while High is the sweet spot for 1440p, and High or Ultra are both excellent at 1080p.
