Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 pairing lands at rank 1026 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This rank reflects a significant imbalance: the CPU is a top-tier performer, while the GPU is a mid-range part, and Fivem’s heavily multiplayer-dependent frame pacing often leaves the graphics card as the limiting factor at higher settings. The combo sits below the 50th percentile, which is expected given the RTX 4060’s 66th percentile standing among all GPUs, but the CPU’s 90th percentile ranking suggests headroom that the GPU cannot always exploit. In practical terms, this is not a combo that will top leaderboards, but it delivers playable frame rates at mainstream resolutions when settings are tuned appropriately.

How This Combo Ranks

At rank 1026 of 1792, this configuration is positioned in the 43rd percentile of all tested combos for Fivem. The ranking is dragged down by the GPU’s modest standing—the RTX 4060 sits at the 66th percentile among all GPUs, which is respectable but hardly elite. The CPU, by contrast, is a standout: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D ranks in the 90th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37780. This creates a clear bottleneck dynamic. In Fivem, which is known for heavy CPU thread usage in crowded server environments, the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads with 96 MB of L3 cache provide ample processing power, but the GPU’s 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become constraints at higher resolutions and settings. Benchmarks show the combo’s best performance at 1080p Low, where it hits 186.5 FPS, but this drops to 31.4 FPS at 4K Ultra—a 83% reduction that highlights the GPU’s limitations. The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where the CPU can push frame rates high enough to overcome the GPU’s weaknesses.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data points to 1080p High as the sweet spot. At this setting, the combo delivers 119 FPS, which is smooth for most multiplayer scenarios and maintains visual fidelity without sacrificing responsiveness. Dropping to Low at 1080p yields 186.5 FPS, but the visual trade-off is severe, and the marginal gain over High may not justify the downgrade for most players. At 1440p, High settings produce 80.2 FPS, which is playable but begins to show strain; Medium at 1440p offers 97.1 FPS, making it a better balance if resolution is prioritized over detail. The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution: even at 1080p, it drops to 91.6 FPS, and at 4K it falls to a stutter-prone 31.4 FPS. Given that Fivem is a multiplayer title where frame consistency matters more than peak detail, the data strongly favors High settings at 1080p or Medium at 1440p. Low settings are only advisable for competitive play where maximum frame rates are critical, as the 186.5 FPS at 1080p Low demonstrates the combo’s ceiling.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the GPU as the primary limiter. At High settings, performance falls from 119 FPS at 1080p to 80.2 FPS at 1440p (a 33% drop), then to 40.7 FPS at 4K (a further 49% drop from 1440p). This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario—the CPU is capable of feeding frames far faster than the RTX 4060 can render at higher pixel counts. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are the likely culprits; at 4K, the memory subsystem becomes saturated, and the 128-bit bus cannot keep pace with the data demands of higher resolutions. Conversely, the CPU’s role is evident in the relatively small gaps between settings at the same resolution. For instance, at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 94.9 FPS, which is substantial, but the CPU maintains high minimum frame rates even at Ultra, suggesting it is not the bottleneck at lower resolutions. The data indicates that this combo is optimized for 1080p and 1440p, with 4K being a stretch that requires Low settings to achieve 68.8 FPS—barely playable.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: No, the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p. The 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with 96 MB of L3 cache, allow the combo to reach 186.5 FPS at Low settings, indicating the CPU can feed frames well beyond the GPU’s rendering capacity.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting component in this combo for Fivem, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for 1080p but becomes strained at 4K. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz are competitive for its class, and its 3072 shading units deliver solid rasterization performance, as evidenced by the 19545 score in Passmark G3D. However, the data shows that the GPU’s performance degrades sharply with resolution: at High settings, it drops from 119 FPS at 1080p to 40.7 FPS at 4K, a 66% reduction. The GPU’s 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs underscores its mid-range positioning, and its nearest rivals—the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (0.6% higher score) and the Intel Arc B580 (0.7% lower score)—show that it is competitive within its tier but not exceptional. In Fivem, which is not graphically demanding compared to AAA titles, the RTX 4060 can handle Medium settings at 1440p (97.1 FPS) comfortably, but Ultra presets at 4K are beyond its capabilities, as the 31.4 FPS result confirms.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the star of this pairing, and its performance is what keeps the combo viable at lower resolutions. With 8 cores, 16 threads, and a massive 96 MB of L3 cache, this CPU is built for gaming workloads that benefit from large caches, which Fivem’s server-side processing often utilizes. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.20 GHz are high for a desktop part, and its 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs reflects its strength. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 34004 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 4800 in single-core, both strong results that show its capability in both multithreaded and single-threaded tasks. The CPU’s nearest rivals are all Intel parts, with the Core i5-13600KF scoring 0.7% higher on average, but the 9800X3D’s cache advantage likely helps in Fivem’s multiplayer environments. The data suggests the CPU is rarely the bottleneck: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 186.5 FPS, and even at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 31.4 FPS, which is more attributable to the GPU than the CPU. The 120W TDP and 4 nm process node make it an efficient choice, but its primary value here is ensuring that the GPU is always the limiting factor, which is a good problem to have for future upgrades.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo ranges from 91.6 FPS at Ultra to 186.5 FPS at Low. The step from Low to Medium is a 41 FPS drop (186.5 to 147.6), while Medium to High is a 28.6 FPS drop (147.6 to 119). High to Ultra is a 27.4 FPS drop (119 to 91.6), showing a consistent performance curve as settings increase. At 1440p, the pattern repeats but with lower absolute numbers: Low hits 126.3 FPS, Medium 97.1 FPS, High 80.2 FPS, and Ultra 62.6 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at High settings is 38.8 FPS (119 to 80.2), which is a 33% reduction. Moving to 4K, the numbers fall sharply: Low achieves 68.8 FPS, Medium 52.2 FPS, High 40.7 FPS, and Ultra 31.4 FPS. The gap between 1440p and 4K at High is 39.5 FPS (80.2 to 40.7), a 49% reduction. Across all resolutions, the Low preset provides the most headroom, while Ultra is only viable at 1080p with 91.6 FPS. The data clearly shows that the combo is most effective at 1080p Medium to High, where it stays above 119 FPS, and at 1440p Medium, where it holds 97.1 FPS. At 4K, even Low settings (68.8 FPS) are marginal for competitive play, making 4K unsuitable for this pairing.
