Fivem

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the AMD Radeon RX 570 places the system at rank 1715 out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem. The data places this pairing in the bottom percentile of all tested configurations, with only 77 other combos ranking lower in this specific multiplayer title. This low standing is primarily attributable to the GPU's age and specifications, as the CPU itself is a top-tier processor that scores in the 90th percentile when compared against all CPUs in the database.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 37780 places it essentially on par with the Intel Xeon 6353P (37811, deltaPct -0.1) and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (37831, deltaPct -0.1), while it trails the Intel Core i9-13900HK (38020, deltaPct -0.6) and the Intel Core i5-13600KF (38028, deltaPct -0.7) by less than one percent. This indicates the processor is not the limiting factor in this configuration. The GPU, however, tells a different story; its average benchmark score of 30158 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (30109, deltaPct 0.2) and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (30097, deltaPct 0.2), showing that despite its age, the RX 570 occupies a specific performance tier that anchors this combo's overall ranking.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1715 out of 1792 places this system at roughly the 95.7th percentile from the bottom, meaning it outperforms only about 4.3 percent of all tested combinations in Fivem. This is a remarkably low position for a system featuring the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is among the fastest gaming processors available. The disparity between the CPU's individual ranking (90th percentile) and the combo's ranking (4.3rd percentile from the top) highlights a severe bottleneck situation. The data shows that in Fivem, the GPU is overwhelmingly the determining factor for overall performance, and the RX 570's capabilities simply cannot leverage the CPU's substantial processing power.

Benchmark results indicate that the CPU's nearest rivals are all within one percent of its average score, yet the combo's rank is not influenced by these marginal CPU differences. Instead, the GPU's 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs combined with the specific demands of Fivem results in this bottom-tier placement. The system's performance is constrained by the GPU's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and its 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, which are modest figures by current standards. In practical terms, this combo will struggle to maintain playable frame rates in most scenarios, and the CPU's potential remains largely untapped.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the decisive component in this configuration, and its specifications directly explain the measured FPS figures. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, paired with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus. This memory configuration provides 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is modest for modern game resolutions. The GPU's 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units deliver a pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 5.095 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the data shows that the GPU's limitations become apparent even at 1080p. The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings is 49.7, which drops to 36.1 at Ultra settings. These figures suggest that the GPU is working near its capacity, and the CPU's high single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 1212, passmark_single_thread score of 4430) is not being fully utilized. The GPU's 14 nm Polaris 20 chip, built on GCN 4.0 architecture, is an end-of-life product that predates the game's release date, yet the data indicates it is still the primary determinant of frame rates. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p (77.8 vs 36.1 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU's processing power is the limiting factor, as the CPU could easily handle the additional draw calls required by higher settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system achieves 49.7 FPS, but this falls to 31.7 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 19.2 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 36 percent drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 61 percent drop from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is even more pronounced at Ultra settings, where 1080p yields 36.1 FPS, 1440p yields 22.9 FPS, and 4K yields only 12.9 FPS.

The resolution scaling behavior indicates that the GPU's 4 GB memory capacity and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for higher resolutions. At 4K, even Low settings only produce 28.4 FPS, which is barely playable and far below the 60 FPS threshold that most users consider smooth. The data suggests that the CPU's performance is largely irrelevant at these resolutions, as the GPU is saturated regardless of the settings level. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K (28.4 vs 12.9 FPS) shows that the GPU's computational resources are the binding constraint, while the CPU sits idle waiting for the GPU to complete its work. This is a classic GPU-bound scenario, where resolution increases disproportionately impact frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the only viable settings for a reasonably smooth experience are at 1920x1080 with Low or Medium presets. The Low preset at 1080p delivers 77.8 FPS, which is the only configuration in the entire dataset that exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at 1080p achieves 60.1 FPS, which is right at the playability boundary. These two settings provide the best balance between visual quality and performance, with Low offering a comfortable margin and Medium providing slightly better visuals at the cost of headroom.

At 1440p, the options are limited. Low settings produce 50.8 FPS, which may be acceptable for some users, but Medium drops to 39 FPS and High falls to 31.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p yields only 22.9 FPS, which is generally considered unplayable for a multiplayer title. At 4K, all settings produce frame rates below 30 FPS, with the best being Low at 28.4 FPS. The data strongly suggests that users should avoid 4K entirely with this combo and stick to 1080p. The 1080p Low preset is the only setting that provides a consistently smooth experience, while 1080p Medium is the maximum acceptable setting for most players. Any higher resolution or preset will result in a degraded experience that fails to meet the demands of a multiplayer game.
