Fivem

# Resolution Scaling

Fivem's performance with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti shows a clear and consistent frame rate decline as resolution increases, though the pattern varies markedly by quality preset. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 77.7 FPS, which drops to 53.7 FPS at 1440p Ultra and further to 31.1 FPS at 4K Ultra. This represents a 31% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 42% reduction from 1440p to 4K at the Ultra preset. The scaling at High settings follows a similar trajectory: 99.3 FPS at 1080p, 64.5 FPS at 1440p, and 33.7 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are steeper here—35% from 1080p to 1440p, and 48% from 1440p to 4K—indicating that at higher quality settings, the GPU becomes increasingly the limiting factor.

The Low preset tells a different story. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 162 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded across all configurations. Dropping to 1440p Low yields 106.1 FPS, and 4K Low still manages 58 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low is a 34% decrease, while moving from 1440p to 4K at Low results in a 45% decline. Notably, the absolute frame rates at Low settings are substantially higher than at any other preset, which suggests that when graphical load is minimized, the CPU can feed frames at a much faster rate. The fact that 4K Low (58 FPS) outperforms 1080p Ultra (77.7 FPS) by a significant margin—though not directly comparable—highlights how much the quality preset influences the bottleneck.

The data indicates that at 1080p with Low settings, the system is likely CPU-bound, given the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's strong single-thread performance. As resolution climbs, the GPU's workload increases, shifting the bottleneck toward the RTX 3060 Ti. The 4K Ultra result of 31.1 FPS is particularly telling: it is barely playable for a multiplayer title, and the gap between 4K Low (58 FPS) and 4K Ultra (31.1 FPS) is an 86% difference, showing that the RTX 3060 Ti's rasterization capabilities are stretched thin at 4K with high-quality settings. The Medium preset sits between these extremes, with 126.8 FPS at 1080p, 81.5 FPS at 1440p, and 43.9 FPS at 4K, confirming a consistent resolution-scaling behavior across all quality levels.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, which translates to 14 Gbps effective. The GPU's base clock is 1410 MHz, with a boost clock of 1665 MHz. These specifications place the RTX 3060 Ti in the upper-midrange tier of the GeForce 30-series, and its benchmark percentile of 69 against all GPUs confirms this positioning.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is central to frame rate delivery at higher resolutions and quality settings. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for this game at 1080p and 1440p, as the measured FPS does not indicate any memory-related stuttering or catastrophic drops. However, at 4K Ultra, the combination of high resolution and high-quality textures may push the VRAM usage close to its limit, contributing to the 31.1 FPS result. The GPU's pixel rate is 133.2 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 253.1 GTexel/s, with an FP32 throughput of 16.20 TFLOPS. These figures suggest the card can handle moderate resolutions well but struggles with the pixel fill requirements of 4K.

The RTX 3060 Ti's closest rivals in the benchmark database are the AMD Radeon RX 6700M with an average score of 25180 (a 0.2% difference), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 at 25235 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon 890M at 25246 (0.5% higher). The average benchmark score for the RTX 3060 Ti is 25120, which places it within a tightly contested performance band. In Fivem specifically, the RTX 3060 Ti's performance at 1080p High (99.3 FPS) and 1440p High (64.5 FPS) shows that it can deliver smooth gameplay for most monitors, but the 4K results are below the 60 FPS threshold even at Medium settings, where it averages 43.9 FPS.

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support, along with Vulkan 1.4, ensures compatibility with Fivem's rendering path. The PassMark G3D score of 20349 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2626 provide additional context: the former indicates strong general rasterization, while the latter shows the card's performance in modern DX12 workloads. The GPU compute score of 10006 also suggests adequate compute capability, though Fivem's multiplayer nature relies more on CPU-side simulation than GPU compute.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ranks 1259 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 30th percentile of all combinations. This rank reflects the RTX 3060 Ti's position as a midrange GPU paired with a high-end CPU. The CPU's percentile of 90 against all processors indicates it is in the top 10% of CPUs, but the GPU's percentile of 69 shows it is only slightly above average. This imbalance means the combo's overall ranking is dragged down by the GPU's performance ceiling.

In the context of Fivem specifically, the rank of 1259 suggests that many other combinations deliver higher average frame rates. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 77.7 FPS, which is solid but not exceptional for a modern system. The CPU's strong benchmark scores—such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 34004 and a single-core score of 4800—do not translate to top-tier Fivem performance because the game's frame rate is heavily dependent on the GPU at most settings.

The combo's rank is also influenced by the RTX 3060 Ti's nearest rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 6700M, RX 6600, and Radeon 890M all have average benchmark scores within 0.5% of the RTX 3060 Ti, indicating that any of these GPUs would produce similar Fivem results. The 1792 total combos include many with newer or more powerful GPUs, which naturally places this pairing in the middle of the pack. For users seeking higher Fivem frame rates, the data suggests that a stronger GPU would be the primary upgrade path, as the Ryzen 7 9800X3D's CPU performance is unlikely to be the limiting factor except at very low settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a desktop processor from the 9000 series, built on the Zen 5 architecture (codenamed Granite Ridge) using TSMC's 4 nm process. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The CPU has a 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is substantial for gaming workloads, and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The processor's TDP is 120 W, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 interface with PCIe Gen 5 (24 lanes from the CPU).

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and quality settings. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 162 FPS, which is the highest measured value across all configurations. This suggests the CPU can handle Fivem's multiplayer simulation and draw calls efficiently, especially given its high single-thread performance. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4800 and the 3DMark single-thread score of 1212 indicate strong per-core capabilities, which are critical for a game that often relies on a few heavily loaded threads.

The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 10081 and max-thread score of 10067 show that its multi-threaded performance is also robust, though Fivem may not fully utilize all 16 threads. The L3 cache of 96 MB is particularly beneficial for game workloads that exhibit high cache locality, and the 8.315 billion transistors on a 70.6 mm² die indicate a dense design. The CPU's average benchmark score of 37780 places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6353P (37811, 0.1% higher) and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (37831, 0.1% higher).

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D's role in this combo is to ensure the GPU is not starved of data. At 1080p Low, the CPU can push frame rates above 160 FPS, which means the RTX 3060 Ti is likely the limiting factor even at this low resolution. As resolution increases, the CPU's workload becomes relatively lighter, and the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck. The gap between 1080p Ultra (77.7 FPS) and 1080p Low (162 FPS) is 84 FPS, demonstrating that the CPU can deliver much higher frame rates when the GPU has less work to do. This pattern confirms that the 9800X3D is not holding back the combo in Fivem, and any frame rate limitations are attributable to the RTX 3060 Ti's rasterization performance.
