Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER lands at rank 259 out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem. That places this configuration in the top 7% of all systems tested, a strong showing for a multiplayer title that tends to reward both high single-thread CPU performance and substantial GPU headroom. The CPU sits at the 86th percentile among all processors, and the GPU matches that exact percentile among all graphics cards, indicating a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outclasses the other.

What stands out in the ranking data is how close the competition is at this performance tier. The Ryzen 7 9700X posts an average benchmark score of 37,943, which is a mere 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i9-14901E and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, both scoring 37,911 and 37,904 respectively. The delta widens slightly against the Intel Core 5 211E at 0.3% and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at 0.4%, but the overall picture is one of extreme parity among top-tier chips. For Fivem specifically, this means the CPU is unlikely to be the deciding factor between otherwise similar systems; the GPU and memory configuration will matter more.

On the graphics side, the RTX 4080 SUPER achieves an average benchmark score of 54,209, which sits just 0.1% below the non-SUPER RTX 4080 at 54,247. The gap to the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1%, and it widens to 2.7% against the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and 2.8% against the Radeon 8060S. These deltas are small enough that in real-world Fivem sessions, the differences would be imperceptible without a frame counter. The data suggests the 4080 SUPER is essentially performance-equivalent to its predecessor in this game, which makes sense given Fivem's heavy reliance on CPU-bound simulation logic in multiplayer scenarios.

The rank of 259 out of 3,707 combos is respectable but not elite. Systems with higher-tier GPUs or CPUs with more aggressive boost behavior will rank above this combo, but for the vast majority of users, this pairing delivers an experience that is firmly in the upper echelon of what is currently available. The combination of an 8-core Zen 5 processor with a 16 GB Ada Lovelace GPU covers all the bases Fivem demands: strong per-core performance for the game's server-side scripting and physics, plus enough rasterization power to push high refresh rates at any resolution.

Q: Does this combo support ray tracing in Fivem?

A: The RTX 4080 SUPER is built on Ada Lovelace architecture with 80 RT cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. However, Fivem's measured FPS data does not include ray tracing benchmarks, so no conclusions can be drawn about RT performance in this specific game.

Q: How much of a frame rate drop occurs when moving from Low to Ultra settings at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the combo averages 121 FPS on Low but drops to 59 FPS on Ultra, a 51% reduction. The Medium preset sits at 95 FPS, offering a more balanced trade-off.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080 Low, the combo hits 331 FPS, and at Medium it reaches 261 FPS. These very high numbers suggest the CPU's strong single-thread performance (3,023 in Geekbench single-core) keeps up with the GPU's output, but at Ultra the 162 FPS result indicates the GPU is being pushed harder.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of how this combo scales across resolutions. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average frame rate drops from 209 FPS to 138 FPS, a 34% reduction. The jump from 1440p to 3840x2160 at High is even more severe, falling from 138 FPS to 76 FPS, a 45% decrease. This non-linear scaling suggests that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count increases, which is expected given the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth.

At Low settings, the scaling pattern is steeper. From 1080p Low at 331 FPS to 1440p Low at 218 FPS is a 34% drop, and then to 4K Low at 121 FPS is another 45% decline. The fact that 4K Low still manages 121 FPS indicates the GPU has substantial headroom even at the highest resolution, but the diminishing returns are clear. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low is 113 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K at Low is 97 FPS, showing that the scaling is relatively consistent.

The Medium preset shows the most complete data with min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the combo averages 261 FPS with a minimum of 222 and maximum of 301. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 172 FPS with a range of 146 to 198. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 and maximum of 110. The consistency of the frame pacing, as evidenced by the min-max ranges, suggests that neither component is bottlenecking severely in these scenarios.

What does this mean for the limiting component? At 1080p, the very high frame rates — particularly the 331 FPS on Low — indicate that the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU. The Ryzen 7 9700X's boost clock of 5.50 GHz and single-thread score of 3,023 in Geekbench contribute to this. As resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the 4K Ultra result of 59 FPS shows where the RTX 4080 SUPER starts to struggle with Fivem's heavier settings. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the combo is balanced, but at 4K with high presets, the GPU becomes the primary constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting at 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. On Low settings, the average is 331 FPS, which drops to 261 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 222 FPS and maximum of 301 FPS. High settings yield 209 FPS, and Ultra brings the average down to 162 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 169 FPS, a significant range that gives users plenty of tuning options depending on their monitor's refresh rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the expected reduction. Low settings produce 218 FPS, Medium averages 172 FPS with a range of 146 to 198 FPS, High delivers 138 FPS, and Ultra drops to 107 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 111 FPS, which is proportionally smaller than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to take on more of the workload.

At 3840x2160, the numbers become more moderate. Low settings still manage an average of 121 FPS, Medium drops to 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS and maximum of 110 FPS, High falls to 76 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 59 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 62 FPS, the smallest absolute spread across all resolutions, which reinforces that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data across all three resolutions dropped. At 1080p Medium, the 222 FPS minimum ensures smooth gameplay even in busy multiplayer scenes. At 1440p Medium, the 146 FPS minimum still exceeds most high-refresh-rate monitors. At 4K Medium, the 81 FPS minimum is close to the 76 FPS average of High settings, suggesting that Medium at 4K is the sweet spot for maintaining playable frame rates with better visual fidelity than Low.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is built on the Zen 5 architecture with a Granite Ridge codename, fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. This combination of high boost frequency and modern architecture is well-suited for Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification framework that relies heavily on single-threaded performance for server-side scripting and physics calculations.

Benchmark data confirms the CPU's strengths. In Geekbench, it scores 3,023 for single-core performance and 17,906 for multi-core, placing it in the 86th percentile among all CPUs. The Cinebench R23 results show 2,211 for single-core and 20,485 for multi-core, while the 3DMark tests reveal strong scaling from 2 threads (2,525) to 16 threads (9,824). The PassMark single-thread score of 4,654 further validates the CPU's per-core capabilities.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role is evident in the 1080p Low results. The 331 FPS average at this settings level is only achievable if the CPU can process game logic fast enough to feed the GPU. The Ryzen 7 9700X's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core help reduce memory latency, which is critical in multiplayer scenarios where many entities and scripts are active simultaneously)Skip.

The 65W TDP is noteworthy for a desktop processor with this level of performance. It indicates efficient power delivery, which in turn means consistent boost behavior under sustained loads. The 4 nm process node contributes to this efficiency, and the fact that the CPU supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s ensures that memory bandwidth is not a bottleneck in frame-heavy scenarios.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 9700X holds its own. The 0.1% delta against the Intel Core i9-14901E and AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in average benchmark scores suggests that in Fivem, where single-thread performance is paramount, the choice between these CPUs would come down to other system factors rather than raw processing power. The CPU's 8,315 million transistors on a 70.6 mm² die indicate a dense, modern design that maximizes performance per watt.

Settings Recommendations

For users with a 1920x1080 display, the measured data shows that High settings at 209 FPS offers an excellent balance between visual quality and performance. Ultra at 162 FPS is still highly playable and provides the best image fidelity, but the 47 FPS difference between High and Ultra may not justify the visual gain for competitive players. Low at 331 FPS is overkill for most monitors, as even 360 Hz panels would benefit from the headroom, but the visual compromise is significant.

At 2560x1440, High settings at 138 FPS is the recommended starting point. This frame rate comfortably supports 144 Hz monitors with room to spare. Medium at 172 FPS is a better choice for players who prioritize frame rate over detail, particularly in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios where responsiveness matters. Ultra at 107 FPS is viable for those with 100 Hz or 120 Hz displays, but the drop below 120 FPS may be noticeable to sensitive users.

For 3840x2160, the data points to Medium settings at 95 FPS as the optimal choice. The minimum of 81 FPS ensures that frame drops during intense moments stay above 60 FPS, which is the baseline for smooth gameplay. High at 76 FPS is playable but puts the average close to the 72 FPS threshold where some users perceive stutter. Ultra at 59 FPS dips below 60 FPS on average, making it unsuitable for consistent gameplay despite the visual improvements.

The overall recommendation across all resolutions is to use Medium or High settings, depending on the display's refresh rate. The Medium preset provides the most consistent frame pacing, as evidenced by the min/max ranges at all three resolutions. For 1080p and 1440p users with high-refresh-rate monitors, High settings offer the best trade-off between visual fidelity and performance. For 4K users, Medium is the clear winner, delivering nearly 100 FPS average while maintaining a minimum above 80 FPS.
