Fivem

Fivem, as a multiplayer modification platform built on an older engine, shows a distinct and heavily CPU-bound performance profile in this dataset. The pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 produces a fascinating result: massive frame rates at lower resolutions, with performance scaling that reveals a system where the processor is the primary arbiter of speed.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and predictable pattern of frame rate decline as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that decline is the critical insight. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers a staggering 383.4 FPS. This is the absolute peak of the dataset, and it highlights the raw processing power of the CPU. Moving to 1440p Low drops the average to 250.5 FPS, a significant reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 142.1 FPS. This scaling is not linear; the gap between 1080p and 1440p is a 132.9 FPS drop, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is a 108.4 FPS drop.

This pattern indicates a classic CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions. At 1080p and 1440p, the GPU is not being fully taxed; it is waiting for the CPU to feed it frames. The RTX 5090 is capable of rendering far more frames, but it is being held back by the game's simulation and draw-call processing. As resolution climbs to 4K, the GPU workload increases, but the CPU remains the limiting factor. Even at 4K Low (142.1 FPS), the frame rate is still exceptionally high, suggesting the CPU is still not overwhelmed.

The scaling from High to Ultra settings at each resolution further confirms this. At 1080p, the drop from High to Ultra is a 57.9 FPS reduction (242.0 to 184.1). At 4K, the same settings change results in a 21.1 FPS drop (85.7 to 64.6). This shows that as resolution increases, the relative impact of graphics settings on the final frame rate shrinks, because the GPU is becoming more of a contributor to the overall time-per-frame. The data suggests that for this specific combination, the 9800X3D is the dominant force in determining FPS, particularly in lower-resolution scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy of performance. For players seeking the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p is the only option, delivering 383.4 FPS. However, the jump to Medium at the same resolution yields 299.2 FPS, a loss of 84.2 FPS. This is a substantial penalty for what is likely a modest visual improvement.

The most balanced experience appears to be at 1440p with Medium settings. The data shows 197.6 FPS, which is an excellent result for high-refresh-rate monitors. It offers nearly double the frame rate of the 4K High preset (85.7 FPS) while still maintaining a resolution that is considered high-definition. Moving to High at 1440p drops the average to 155.6 FPS, which is still very playable, but the 42 FPS difference between Medium and High is more significant than the visual uplift in most titles.

At 4K, the dataset shows a more constrained environment. The Ultra preset is demanding, yielding 64.6 FPS. High is a better choice for smoother gameplay at 85.7 FPS. The Medium preset at 110 FPS is the sweet spot for 4K, providing a high level of visual fidelity while staying well above the 60 FPS threshold. Low at 4K (142.1 FPS) is an option for competitive play, but it negates the purpose of the high resolution. The data strongly suggests that Medium or High presets are the optimal choices for a balance of visual quality and performance, with the specific choice depending on the target resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a flagship GPU, and its role in this data is as an enabler for high-resolution gaming. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a massive 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. This is far more than any current game can realistically utilize, meaning that Fivem's memory requirements are unlikely to ever be a limiting factor for this card. The 32 GB capacity ensures that even the most texture-heavy modded servers will not run out of VRAM.

The GPU's clock speeds are listed as a base of 2017 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz. These are high frequencies, but in this specific title, the GPU is not the bottleneck. The evidence is in the resolution scaling. The performance difference between 1080p High (242.0 FPS) and 1440p High (155.6 FPS) is a 86.4 FPS drop. If the GPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see a smaller difference, as the GPU is being utilized more efficiently at higher resolutions. Instead, the large drop indicates that the CPU is unable to sustain the frame rate at lower resolutions.

The RTX 5090's benchmark scores, such as a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14411 and a Passmark G3D score of 39650, place it in the top tier of graphics cards (94th percentile vs all GPUs). Its compute power (104.8 TFLOPS FP32) is immense. However, the Fivem data indicates that this raw power is largely underutilized. The GPU is waiting for work. Its role here is to ensure that when the CPU can deliver frames, the GPU can render them without introducing a performance ceiling, particularly at 4K where its advanced architecture comes into play.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the star of this dataset. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 5 architecture, are clearly the driving force behind the high frame rates. The processor's large 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a key feature, as it likely helps to keep frequently accessed game data on-die, reducing latency and improving performance in a simulation-heavy game like Fivem.

The CPU's benchmark scores corroborate its strength. It achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 34004 and a single-core score of 4800. Its Passmark multi-thread score is 40009, and its single-thread score is 4430. These are top-tier results, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i9-13900HK (avg score 38020, delta -0.6%) and Intel Core i5-13600KF (avg score 38028, delta -0.7%), are all slightly behind in average benchmark score.

The gameplay data confirms this. The CPU is able to push frame rates to 383.4 FPS at 1080p Low, which reflects its single-thread and multi-thread capabilities. The game appears to scale well with the CPU's throughput. Even when the GPU is challenged at 4K Ultra (64.6 FPS), the CPU is still providing enough data to keep the frame rate playable. The 9800X3D's high boost clock of 5.20 GHz and its powerful architecture make it an ideal match for this game, as it is the component that dictates the maximum achievable frame rate in lower-resolution scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 holds a rank of 10 out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places it in the top 1% of all tested systems, a position that reflects its exceptional performance across all measured settings.

This high rank is driven by the CPU's dominance. The combo's ability to reach 383.4 FPS at 1080p is a result of the processor's strength, and this contributes heavily to its overall score.
