Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a broad performance envelope in Fivem, with average frame rates ranging from 54.6 FPS at 4K Ultra to 304.9 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured data reveals a system that is consistently capable of high refresh rates at mainstream resolutions, while 4K Ultra remains the only setting that drops below the 60 FPS threshold. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across settings, resolutions, and component roles.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows show a clear hierarchy across the four quality presets. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver well above 144 FPS, with Low hitting 304.9 FPS, Medium at 243 FPS, High at 194.9 FPS, and Ultra at 148.3 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 46.6 FPS (from 194.9 to 148.3), a 24% reduction, while the step from Medium to High costs 48.1 FPS (from 243 to 194.9), a 20% reduction. Given that even Ultra at 1080p exceeds 144 FPS, the Ultra preset is the optimal choice for 1080p users with high refresh rate displays, as it maintains a playable frame rate while maximizing visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the situation becomes more nuanced. Low delivers 201.6 FPS, Medium 160 FPS, High 127.1 FPS, and Ultra 95.8 FPS. The High preset at 1440p offers a strong balance: 127.1 FPS is comfortably above 120 FPS, and the transition to Ultra costs 31.3 FPS (from 127.1 to 95.8), which is a 25% drop. For users targeting 144 Hz at 1440p, the Medium preset at 160 FPS is the better choice, as it provides a 32.9 FPS headroom over High. Data indicates that Medium at 1440p is the sweet spot for high refresh rate gaming, while High is preferable for those prioritizing fidelity over frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the preset choice heavily impacts playability. Low delivers 112.4 FPS, Medium 85.2 FPS, High 72.7 FPS, and Ultra 54.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K falls below the 60 FPS standard, making it the only measured configuration that is not consistently smooth. The High preset at 72.7 FPS provides a playable experience with substantial visual uplift over Medium (85.2 FPS), representing a 12.5 FPS difference. For 4K users, High is the recommended preset, as it stays above 60 FPS while offering the best visual fidelity among the playable options.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU's clock speeds are listed with a base of 2310 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz. In Fivem, the GPU's role is evident in the scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p High, the combo produces 194.9 FPS, which is more than double the 4K High result of 72.7 FPS. This scaling suggests that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops proportionally with the increase in pixel count.

The GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 208.8 GPixel/s pixel rate are relevant to Fivem's rendering workload, which includes large open-world scenes with many dynamic objects. The measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 54.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is being pushed to its limits at the highest settings and resolution. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the 304.9 FPS result suggests that the GPU is not fully saturated, leaving headroom for the CPU to drive higher frame rates. The GPU's 85th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44900, places it in a strong position, though its nearest rivals show small deltas: the RTX 5090 Mobile is 0.6% faster, while the AMD Radeon Pro 580 is 1.6% slower.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a consistent pattern of scaling. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 194.9 FPS at 1080p to 127.1 FPS at 1440p (a 34.8% reduction) and further to 72.7 FPS at 4K (a 42.8% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K while the frame rate does not scale linearly.

At Low settings, the drop is more pronounced: 304.9 FPS at 1080p falls to 201.6 FPS at 1440p (a 33.9% reduction) and to 112.4 FPS at 4K (a 44.2% reduction from 1440p). The fact that Low settings at 4K (112.4 FPS) outperform High settings at 1440p (127.1 FPS) by a small margin suggests that the GPU is heavily taxed by the resolution increase, regardless of the quality preset. The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU has more influence on the frame rate, as evidenced by the 304.9 FPS result, which is likely near the CPU's maximum output for this game. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the dominant factor, with the 4K Ultra result of 54.6 FPS representing a scenario where both the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are fully utilized.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It features 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. In Fivem, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p, where the frame rates are highest. The 304.9 FPS result at 1080p Low is likely near the CPU's limit, as the GPU has ample headroom at this resolution and settings combination.

The CPU's single-threaded performance is strong, as indicated by its 3DMark single-thread score of 1280 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4459. Fivem, being a multiplayer game, often relies on single-threaded performance for game logic and network handling. The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also robust, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 31588 and a Geekbench multicore score of 17002. The data shows that at 1440p and 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck, but at 1080p, the CPU's 5.50 GHz boost clock and 8 cores provide the necessary throughput to sustain high frame rates. The CPU's 89th percentile ranking, with an average benchmark score of 36029, places it slightly ahead of the Intel Core i5-14500HX and behind the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, indicating it is a competitive choice for this game.
