Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V, presents a demanding workload that scales heavily with both resolution and graphics settings. This analysis covers the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, a combination that ranks 296th out of 1792 tested combos in this game. The CPU, an 8-core/16-thread Zen 5 part with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, carries a launch MSRP of $359, while the GPU, an Ada Lovelace-based RTX 4070 SUPER with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, has a launch MSRP of 599 USD. Measured frame rates across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at four quality presets provide a clear picture of where this system excels and where it begins to strain.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows that the optimal preset depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets deliver high frame rates: Low 287.4, Medium 231.6, High 182.7, and Ultra 141.1. For competitive play, Low offers the highest headroom, but High still provides a smooth experience with better visual quality. At 2560x1440, Ultra drops to 94.5 FPS, which is still above 60, but High at 119.1 is a safer choice for maintaining a high refresh rate. At 3840x2160, Ultra falls to 49.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold; High at 67.3 is the recommended preset, while Medium at 85.8 offers additional headroom. The data shows that High is the best overall balance across all resolutions, as it never drops below 67.3 FPS even at 4K. For users with a 144 Hz monitor, High at 1440p provides 119.1 FPS, which is close to the refresh rate, while Ultra at 94.5 FPS is still playable but may not fully utilize the display. At 1080p, Ultra at 141.1 FPS is also viable for high-refresh displays, but High at 182.7 FPS gives more margin for frame-time spikes.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1980 MHz, boost clock 2475 MHz, and memory clock 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU also features a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 4627 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 192684 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 179271 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its Passmark G3D score is 29995, and it ranks in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.2% slower than the RTX A6000 and 0.3% slower than the RX 7650 GRE, but 1.4% faster than the Radeon Pro 580X. In Fivem, the GPU's role is evident in the frame rate scaling: at 4K, moving from Ultra to Low raises the average FPS from 49.1 to 106.4, indicating that the GPU is the primary constraint at high settings. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's texture streaming at 4K, and the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth helps maintain consistent frame delivery.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 67.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 106.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 85.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 49.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 119.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 192.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 149.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 94.5 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 182.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 287.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 231.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 141.1 |

The data shows a clear hierarchy: at each resolution, Low is the fastest, followed by Medium, then High, and Ultra is the slowest. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial; at 1080p, Low is 287.4 FPS while Ultra is 141.1 FPS. At 1440p, Low is 192.5 FPS and Ultra is 94.5 FPS. At 4K, Low is 106.4 FPS and Ultra is 49.1 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by the Ultra preset, which likely enables additional effects and higher draw distances. The Medium preset offers a middle ground, with 231.6 FPS at 1080p, 149.6 FPS at 1440p, and 85.8 FPS at 4K, making it a viable option for users who want a balance between visual fidelity and frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

As resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, the average FPS drops consistently across all presets. For High settings, the values are 182.7, 119.1, and 67.3. For Low, they are 287.4, 192.5, and 106.4. For Medium, 231.6, 149.6, and 85.8. For Ultra, 141.1, 94.5, and 49.1. The proportional drop is similar for each preset, indicating that the GPU is the limiting component. The CPU's performance is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at 1080p Low, where the frame rate reaches 287.4 FPS. This pattern suggests that users targeting 4K should expect roughly half the frame rate of 1080p at the same settings. The consistent scaling also implies that the game's rendering workload scales linearly with pixel count, which is typical for GPU-bound scenarios. At 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate, but the GPU's raw compute power becomes the deciding factor, as seen in the drop from 106.4 FPS at Low to 49.1 FPS at Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and a TDP of 65 W. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and includes Radeon Graphics as an integrated GPU. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 9824 in 3DMark 16-thread, 1280 in single-thread, 31588 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, and 4459 in single-core. Its Geekbench multi-core score is 17002 and single-core is 3353. Passmark multithread is 37161 and single-thread is 4654. It ranks in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14500HX, is 0.2% faster, while the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H is 0.4% slower. In Fivem, the CPU's strong single-thread performance is critical for maintaining high frame rates, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (287.4) demonstrates that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output. The 8-core/16-thread configuration also provides ample multi-threaded headroom for background tasks and game server communication, which is common in multiplayer environments. The 32 MB L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, further supporting high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.
