Fivem

Fivem benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination shows a system that is heavily constrained by graphics load at higher resolutions, while at 1080p it demonstrates extreme headroom. The measured results indicate a pairing where the CPU’s substantial cache and core configuration allow for very high frame rates when the GPU is not saturated, making the RTX 5070 the primary bottleneck at 4K and Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is dramatic and reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 281.2 FPS at 1080p to 103.8 FPS at 4K, a reduction of roughly 63%. This scaling pattern is typical for a system where the CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D) can easily feed frames at lower resolutions, but the rendering workload at 4K overwhelms the GPU.

Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at High settings, the average FPS drops from 118.8 to 63.4, a 46.6% decrease. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 5070’s rendering capabilities are the limiting factor, as the pixel count increase directly translates to a near-linear drop in performance. The data shows that at 1080p, even Ultra settings achieve 138 FPS, which suggests the CPU is not the primary constraint; instead, the GPU is still managing the load adequately.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (281.2 FPS) and Ultra (138 FPS) is 143.2 FPS. At 4K, the same comparison yields a difference of 55.1 FPS (103.8 versus 48.7). This compression at higher resolutions further confirms that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck, as the cost of additional graphical features becomes relatively more expensive when pixel throughput is already high.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing ranks 355th out of 1792 combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 20% of all systems tested. This rank reflects a high-performing setup that is well-suited for the game’s demands, though it is not at the absolute top tier. The combination of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5070 delivers frame rates that are competitive with many higher-end configurations, particularly at 1440p where it achieves 118.8 FPS on High settings.

The CPU’s individual benchmark scores show it performing near the top of its class, with an average benchmark score of 37780 and a percentile rank of 90 among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-13600KF (deltaPct -0.7%) and Intel Core i9-13900HK (deltaPct -0.6%), are marginally behind, indicating that the 9800X3D is a top-tier processor. However, the GPU’s percentile rank of 83 and average benchmark score of 41687 place it slightly lower relative to its own category, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 being a close competitor (deltaPct 0.6%).

This disparity between CPU and GPU percentile ranks suggests that the overall combo rank is limited by the GPU’s performance ceiling. While the CPU is capable of driving higher frame rates, the RTX 5070 cannot fully utilize that potential at higher resolutions. The 355th rank out of 1792 combos is respectable, but it indicates that systems pairing the 9800X3D with a more powerful GPU would likely rank higher.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience balancing visual fidelity and performance, the data points to High settings at 2560x1440 as the optimal configuration. At this setting, the system achieves an average of 118.8 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on most displays. Moving to Ultra at the same resolution drops performance to 90.7 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 23.6% reduction for what is often a marginal visual improvement in a multiplayer environment.

At 1920x1080, Medium settings provide an excellent experience with 222.5 FPS, while High delivers 180.1 FPS. The jump from Medium to Ultra at 1080p yields only a 84.5 FPS difference (222.5 to 138 FPS), making Ultra less appealing for competitive play where higher frame rates are prioritized. For users with 4K displays, High settings at 63.4 FPS is the recommended ceiling, as Ultra at 48.7 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider necessary for responsive gameplay.

The Low preset at 1440p produces 184.4 FPS, which is useful for competitive scenarios, but the visual compromises are substantial. The data shows that High settings at 1440p offers the best compromise, providing a 28.1% higher frame rate than Ultra while maintaining most of the graphical enhancements that matter in Fivem’s multiplayer environments.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 281.2 FPS, Medium yields 222.5 FPS, High achieves 180.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 138 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the CPU and GPU combination has significant headroom, allowing for high refresh rate monitors to be fully utilized even at higher quality presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates are 184.4 FPS on Low, 143.8 FPS on Medium, 118.8 FPS on High, and 90.7 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction of approximately 34-36% across all settings, which aligns with the increased pixel count. This resolution is the sweet spot for this combo, as High settings still exceed 100 FPS, providing a smooth experience on 144Hz monitors.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly. Low settings achieve 103.8 FPS, Medium delivers 78.4 FPS, High produces 63.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 48.7 FPS. The 4K results show that the RTX 5070 is the limiting factor, as even Low settings cannot maintain frame rates above 104 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 23.2% reduction, which is more severe than at lower resolutions, reinforcing the GPU-bound nature of this configuration.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for Fivem at 1440p and below, but the data suggests it may be a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 48.7. The GPU’s boost clock of 2512 MHz and base clock of 2325 MHz contribute to its overall performance, but the benchmark results show that raw throughput is the primary constraint.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 41687 places it at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with its nearest rivals including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (deltaPct 0.6%) and AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (deltaPct 0.2%). This indicates that the RTX 5070 is a solid mid-to-high range performer, but it does not have the raw power of top-tier cards. In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions, where the 12 GB memory capacity and 192-bit bus width limit the ability to maintain high frame rates at 4K.

The GPU’s 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores are not directly reflected in the measured FPS data, but they contribute to the overall feature set. The pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s provide theoretical maximums that are not fully realized in this game, as the measured results show a clear GPU bottleneck at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is a Zen 5 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, featuring a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a key differentiator, providing substantial performance benefits in games like Fivem that are sensitive to memory latency. The CPU’s benchmark scores are impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 34004 and a single-core score of 4800, placing it at the 90th percentile among all CPUs.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the Intel Core i5-13600KF (deltaPct -0.7%) and Intel Core i9-13900HK (deltaPct -0.6%), showing that the 9800X3D is marginally ahead of these competitors. This performance headroom is evident in Fivem, where the CPU can drive frame rates well above 200 FPS at 1080p Low settings, demonstrating that it is not a bottleneck in most scenarios.

However, the CPU’s role becomes less significant at higher resolutions, where the GPU takes over as the limiting factor. At 4K, the difference between Low and High settings is 40.4 FPS (103.8 versus 63.4 FPS), which is primarily due to GPU load rather than CPU capability. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 4 nm process node and 120 W TDP provides ample compute for Fivem’s multiplayer environments, but the data shows that the RTX 5070 cannot fully utilize this CPU’s potential at resolutions above 1440p. The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and DDR5 support ensure that data transfer is not a limiting factor, allowing the processor to maintain high frame rates when the GPU is not saturated.
