Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a clear performance curve across resolutions in Fivem, with the frame rate dropping by roughly 78% from 1080p to 4K at the High preset. At 1080p High, the combo produces 110.2 FPS, which falls to 69.7 FPS at 1440p, and then to 39.4 FPS at 4K. This steep decline is typical of a system where the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as pixel count rises, especially given that the RTX 2070 SUPER carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but the frame rate loss from 1440p to 4K is a 43% reduction, suggesting that the graphics card is running out of compute and memory bandwidth at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern across settings at each resolution reinforces the GPU-bound nature of this combo. At 4K, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average frame rate from 63.9 FPS to 32.7 FPS, a 49% penalty. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 12.3 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 6.7 FPS. At 1440p, the same settings range yields a spread from 112.7 FPS on Low down to 58.1 FPS on Ultra, which indicates that the GPU is still the primary limiter even at the middle resolution. Only at 1080p does the frame rate stay above 87 FPS across all presets, with Low hitting 176.1 FPS and Ultra still managing 87.9 FPS, showing that resolution scaling is the primary factor controlling performance in this title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates demonstrate a classic resolution-bound behavior, where the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth dictate the upper limits. From 1080p High to 1440p High, the average FPS drops from 110.2 to 69.7, a 37% reduction. Scaling further to 4K High, the frame rate falls to 39.4 FPS, which is 64% lower than the 1080p result. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as the Ryzen 7 9700X’s 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample processing power for the game’s multi-threaded workloads, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31588.

The data also shows that lowering settings can recover playable frame rates at higher resolutions. At 4K, dropping from High to Medium raises the average FPS from 39.4 to 51.7, a 31% improvement. Going to Low at 4K yields 63.9 FPS, which is close to the 1440p High result of 69.7 FPS. This suggests that Fivem’s graphics settings have a significant impact on GPU load, and users targeting 4K should consider Medium or Low presets to stay above 60 FPS. At 1440p, the High preset at 69.7 FPS is already close to the 60 FPS threshold, while Medium at 93 FPS provides smoother gameplay, and Low at 112.7 FPS offers the highest headroom.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP and support for DDR5 dual-channel memory at 89.6 GB/s. In Fivem, the CPU’s role is secondary to the GPU, as the frame rate scaling indicates. The processor’s single-thread performance, measured at 4459 in Cinebench R23, and multi-thread score of 31588, are more than sufficient for the game’s logic and physics, but the measured FPS does not increase dramatically at lower resolutions where the CPU would matter more.

The 9700X’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample data locality for game assets. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 37161 and single-thread score of 4654 place it in the top tier of CPUs, with an 89th percentile ranking. However, in this specific combo, the CPU is not the limiting factor. Even at 1080p Low, where the frame rate reaches 176.1 FPS, the CPU is able to feed the GPU without bottlenecking. The nearest CPU rivals all score within 1% of the 9700X in average benchmarks, indicating that swapping to a different high-end CPU would have minimal impact on Fivem performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p users, the High preset at 110.2 FPS offers a smooth experience, while Ultra at 87.9 FPS still provides high frame rates with increased visual fidelity. The Low preset at 176.1 FPS is only necessary for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. For 1440p, the Medium preset at 93 FPS is the best balance, as High at 69.7 FPS is acceptable but approaches the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra at 58.1 FPS dips below it. The Low preset at 112.7 FPS is viable for esports-style play.

For 4K, the data clearly shows that only the Low preset at 63.9 FPS sustains a playable frame rate. Medium at 51.7 FPS is borderline, while High at 39.4 FPS and Ultra at 32.7 FPS are not recommended for smooth gameplay. Users with 4K displays should stick to Low settings or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p to unlock the Medium preset at 93 FPS. The overall recommendation is to prioritize the Medium preset at 1080p or 1440p, as it balances visual quality with frame rates above 90 FPS, while reserving Low settings for 4K or high-refresh-rate scenarios.
