Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that stresses both CPU and GPU heavily depending on the scenario. The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 produces a distinct performance profile across resolutions and settings, as measured in the database. The data reveals a system that is exceptionally strong at high frame rates but shows clear scaling limitations as resolution and graphical load increase.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent trend: performance degrades significantly as resolution increases, but the rate of degradation is heavily dependent on the selected settings preset. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 333 FPS at 1920x1080 to 219 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of approximately 34%. Moving further to 3840x2160, the average FPS falls to 122, which is about 63% lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline at Low settings indicates that the system is heavily CPU-bound at lower resolutions, where the GPU has ample headroom and the processor's performance becomes the limiting factor.

At Medium settings, the scaling pattern shifts. The average FPS at 1920x1080 is 263, dropping to 173 at 2560x1440 and then to 96 at 3840x2160. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is roughly 63%, similar to the Low setting's relative decline. However, the absolute numbers are lower, suggesting that the GPU is beginning to take on more work. The High preset shows a different curve: 210 FPS at 1080p, 138 FPS at 1440p, and 77 FPS at 4K. Here, the drop from 1080p to 4K is approximately 63% as well, but the 1440p result is notably closer to the 4K figure in relative terms.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling. At 1920x1080, the system manages 163 FPS, which is still high, but at 2560x1440 it falls to 107 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it plummets to just 60 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is about 63%, matching the other presets, but the absolute 4K result of 60 FPS suggests that the GPU is now the primary bottleneck. The data indicates that at 1080p and 1440p, especially with lower settings, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D's strong single-threaded performance keeps frame rates high. As resolution climbs to 4K, the RTX 4080's workload increases to the point where it cannot maintain the same headroom, making the GPU the limiting component. The consistent percentage drop across presets is noteworthy; it implies that the scaling factor is tied more to the resolution change itself than to the specific preset, though the starting point differs.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, and features 9,728 shading units. Its boost clock is rated at 2505 MHz, with a base clock of 2205 MHz. The card comes with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. These specifications support very high frame rates in Fivem, but the measured data shows that the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions and settings.

At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS of 333 is likely beyond what most displays can show, indicating the GPU is not the limiting factor. The RTX 4080's compute capabilities, including a FP32 throughput of 48.74 TFLOPS, are more than sufficient for this load. However, at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 60, which is exactly at the threshold of many standard monitors. This suggests that the GPU is fully utilized at this point. The memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s and the 16 GB capacity are adequate for the game's assets, but the pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s may be the binding constraint at 4K.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide context. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 4080 scores 6567, and in Geekbench Vulkan it scores 263779. Its PassMark G3D score is 34457, and the G2D score is 1239. These results place the card in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209, a delta of just 0.1%, meaning the two are effectively identical in synthetic tests. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is slightly ahead at 54828, but the difference is minimal.

In Fivem, the GPU's performance is best understood by comparing the Low and Ultra results at the same resolution. At 4K, Low yields 122 FPS, while Ultra yields 60 FPS, a difference of 62 FPS. This gap highlights how much graphical headroom the RTX 4080 has when settings are reduced)Skip. The card's TDP is 320 W, and it requires a 700 W power supply, indicating it is a high-power component that delivers substantial performance when needed.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's resolution and frame rate target. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver high frame rates: Low averages 333 FPS, Medium 263 FPS, High 210 FPS, and Ultra 163 FPS. Even at Ultra, the average FPS is above 160, which is smooth for most displays. For a 144Hz monitor at 1080p, the Ultra preset is the best choice because it provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining an average FPS above the refresh rate. If the user prefers maximum competitive performance, the Low preset offers the highest frame rates, but the difference between Low and Ultra is substantial at 170 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the recommendations change. The Low preset averages 219 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh monitors. Medium averages 173 FPS, and High averages 138 FPS. Ultra drops to 107 FPS. For a 144Hz display at 1440p, the High preset is the best balance, as it stays close to the 144 FPS target. The Medium preset is also viable if the user wants a margin of safety, but High provides better visuals without sacrificing too much performance. The Ultra preset at 107 FPS is still playable, but it may not fully utilize a 144Hz panel.

At 3840x2160, the data shows that only the Low preset achieves a high average FPS of 122. Medium averages 96 FPS, High averages 77 FPS, and Ultra averages 60 FPS. For a 4K display, the Medium preset is recommended if the user has a 60Hz monitor, as it provides a good balance between visual quality and performance. The High preset at 77 FPS is acceptable for a 60Hz display, but the Low preset is the only option that comfortably exceeds 100 FPS É. The Ultra preset at 60 FPS is playable but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes, which could cause drops below 60 FPS in intense moments. Therefore, the best experience per the measured rows is to use High settings at 1080p and 1440p, and Medium settings at 4K, to maintain a stable frame rate.
