The CPU contributes an 86th percentile ranking among all processors, while the GPU sits at the 58th percentile among all graphics cards. This discrepancy suggests the processor is the stronger component in this pairing, capable of driving the GPU to its limits in most scenarios. The CPU's average benchmark score of 37943 places it within 0.1% of the Intel Core i9-14901E and AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, indicating near-identical synthetic performance to those rivals.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 15852 places it 1.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and 1% behind the AMD Radeon RX 9060, while sitting 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5500. These narrow margins in synthetic tests suggest the RX 7700 competes in a tightly packed performance band where small differences in driver optimization or game-specific workloads can shift the hierarchy.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s. This memory configuration provides ample headroom for Fivem's multiplayer environments, which often involve large texture loads and numerous player models. The 16 GB capacity is particularly relevant for high-resolution gameplay, where memory pressure can become a limiting factor in less well-endowed cards.

The GPU's clock speeds show a base of 1900 MHz, a game clock of 2041 MHz, and a boost clock of 2459 MHz. The memory operates at 2438 MHz with 19.5 Gbps effective speed. These clocks, combined with 2560 shading units and 96 ROPs, produce a pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance of 25.18 TFLOPS indicates solid compute capability for a mid-range card.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's role becomes evident when examining the frame rate progression across settings at each resolution. At 1080p, the GPU delivers 200 FPS on Low, but this drops to 98 FPS on Ultra, showing that even at lower resolutions, the graphics card's workload scales significantly with quality presets. The GPU's 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests it handles Fivem's rendering demands competently, though it is not designed to push maximum frame rates at the highest settings in this title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system responds to increasing resolution demands. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average frame rate falls from 126 FPS to 83 FPS, a reduction of 34%. Further scaling to 4K at High settings drops the average to 46 FPS, which represents a 63% reduction from the 1080p High result.

This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more limiting as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 200 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high frame rates. However, at 4K Ultra, the system only manages 36 FPS, showing that the GPU's rendering throughput is the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

The data shows a roughly linear relationship between resolution and performance. At Medium settings, the 1080p average of 158 FPS drops to 104 FPS at 1440p and 58 FPS at 4K. This consistent scaling pattern suggests the system is well-balanced with no single component causing sudden performance cliffs, but rather a gradual shift in bottleneck from CPU at low resolutions to GPU at high resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 200 FPS, while Medium achieves 158 FPS with minimum and maximum values of 134 and 182 FPS respectively. High settings yield 126 FPS, and Ultra drops to 98 FPS. These numbers show that at 1080p, the system comfortably exceeds 60 FPS at every preset, making it suitable for high refresh rate monitors at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows clear scaling. Low settings deliver 132 FPS, Medium produces 104 FPS with a range of 88 to 120 FPS, High achieves 83 FPS, and Ultra falls to 65 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result remains above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating the system can handle this resolution at the highest quality preset without dipping below playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to struggle at higher settings. Low settings produce 73 FPS, Medium delivers 58 FPS with a range of 49 to 66 FPS, High drops to 46 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36 FPS. The 4K results show that while the system can handle 4K at Low and Medium settings, it cannot maintain 60 FPS at High or Ultra, making those presets less suitable for smooth gameplay at this resolution.

The Medium settings at each resolution show the most complete data with both minimum and maximum values recorded. This allows for a clearer picture of frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 134 to 182 FPS range shows a 48 FPS spread, while at 1440p Medium, the 88 to 120 FPS range shows a 32 FPS spread, and at 4K Medium, the 49 to 66 FPS range shows a 17 FPS spread. This narrowing range at higher resolutions indicates more consistent frame pacing when the GPU is more heavily loaded.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gameplay, the data supports using Ultra settings, as the 98 FPS average remains well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides the best visual quality. Players with high refresh rate 1080p monitors may prefer High settings at 126 FPS, which offers a significant frame rate boost over Ultra while maintaining good visual fidelity. Medium at 158 FPS is also viable for competitive play, though the visual compromise may not be worth the additional 32 FPS over High.

At 1440p, Ultra settings at 65 FPS provide the best balance of visual quality and playability, staying just above the 60 FPS target. High settings at 83 FPS offer a comfortable margin above 60 FPS and are recommended for players who prioritize smoother frame rates. Medium at 104 FPS is excellent for those seeking high refresh experiences, though the visual downgrade from High is noticeable. Low at 132 FPS is available for competitive players, but the visual compromise is substantial.

For 4K gaming, the data suggests Medium settings at 58 FPS as the best option, as it stays close to the 60 FPS target while providing reasonable visual quality. Low settings at 73 FPS are preferable for players who prioritize frame rate over visuals, offering a 15 FPS improvement over Medium. High and Ultra settings at 46 and 36 FPS respectively fall below the 60 FPS threshold and are not recommended for smooth gameplay, though they may be acceptable for players who prioritize image quality over responsiveness.

The overall recommendation is to use High settings for the best experience at 1080p and 1440p, as it balances visual quality with frame rate headroom. At 4K, Medium settings provide the most balanced experience, with Low as a viable alternative for those who need higher frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. This 8-core, 16-thread configuration is well-suited for Fivem, which can utilize multiple threads for game logic and network processing in multiplayer scenarios. The CPU's 86th percentile ranking among all processors indicates strong performance relative to the broader market.

The CPU's benchmark scores show significant multi-threaded capability. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20485 and the Geekbench multicore score of 17906 indicate strong performance across all cores. The Passmark multithread score of 37161 further confirms this, while the single-thread scores of 2211 in Cinebench R23 and 3023 in Geekbench show competitive single-core performance. The 3DMark scores of 9824 for 16 threads and 1280 for single thread provide additional context for gaming workloads.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining the frame rates at low resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 200 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's limit for this game. The fact that increasing resolution from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings drops the frame rate from 200 to 132 FPS, while maintaining the same CPU workload, suggests that the CPU is capable of driving high frame rates when the GPU is not the limiting factor.

The CPU's nearest rivals show it performs nearly identically to the Intel Core i9-14901E, with a delta of 0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, also at 0.1%. This places the 9700X in a performance tier where the differences between competing processors are negligible in synthetic benchmarks. The 0.3% delta from the Intel Core 5 211E and 0.4% from the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 further confirm this tight grouping.
