Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination delivers a top-tier experience in Fivem, placing in the 84th spot out of 3005 tested combos. This places it firmly in the top 3% of all configurations, indicating that this pairing is exceptionally well-suited for the game’s demands. The data shows a system that can handle the game’s multiplayer environments with significant headroom, making it a strong choice for users seeking maximum performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 84 out of 3005 is a strong indicator of its overall capability. This percentile placement suggests that only a small fraction of other hardware pairings can outperform it in Fivem. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, provides a solid foundation. Its performance percentile of 92 versus all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 58386, shows it is a high-tier processor. The nearest rivals in CPU benchmarking, such as the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M and Intel Core i9-14900, have average scores of 58323 and 58115, respectively, showing the 9850X3D leads them by a margin of 0.1% and 0.5%, respectively. This edge, while small in synthetic tests, contributes to the strong in-game ranking.

The GPU, a GeForce RTX 4090, also performs at a high level, with a percentile of 88 versus all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 60347. While its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks, like the Intel Arc Pro A60, show a 0% deltaPct, the real-world Fivem data demonstrates the RTX 4090's strength. The combination of a top-tier CPU and GPU results in a system that is not just fast but also balanced, avoiding significant bottlenecks. The rank of 84 out of 3005 confirms that this is a premium setup that will provide a high-refresh-rate experience.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance between visual quality and performance is achieved at the High preset across all tested resolutions. At 1080p, the High preset delivers an average of 232 FPS, which is a substantial jump from the 180 FPS of Ultra while still offering a significant visual upgrade over Medium’s 290 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is 52 FPS, a 22% decrease, which may be noticeable on high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset is the sweet spot, providing a large performance buffer while maintaining a high level of graphical fidelity.

At 1440p, the High preset maintains an excellent average of 153 FPS, which is well above the 119 FPS of Ultra. This demonstrates that the system can handle the increased pixel count without sacrificing playability. The 34 FPS gap between High and Ultra at this resolution is a 22% drop, making High the more sensible choice for competitive or fast-paced play. Moving to 4K, the High preset still provides a very playable 85 FPS average. The Ultra preset, at 66 FPS, is playable but may not be ideal for all users, especially in demanding multiplayer scenarios.

Therefore, the data strongly suggests using the High preset for the best overall experience. It provides a high level of visual detail while ensuring that frame rates remain high enough to take full advantage of the hardware’s capabilities. The Low preset is only recommended for users who prioritize maximum frame rate above all else, but the performance gains from stepping down to Low are not worth the significant loss in visual quality for most users.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the relationship between the CPU and GPU in this configuration. At 1080p with High settings, the system achieves 232 FPS. When moving to 1440p, the frame rate drops to 153 FPS, a 34% decrease. This is a significant drop, but the system remains highly performant. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a further drop to 85 FPS, a 44% decrease from 1440p. This pattern indicates that the RTX 4090 is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the workload on the GPU increases substantially.

The CPU, with its high single-thread performance (PassMark single-thread score of 4704) and large L3 cache of 96 MB, is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions. The fact that the frame rate drops so significantly at 4K suggests that the GPU is being pushed to its limits. The RTX 4090’s 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are substantial, but the pixel throughput required at 4K is immense. The data shows that the system is not CPU-bound at any resolution, as the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output demands.

The drop from 1080p to 1440p is larger than the drop from 1440p to 4K when considering the percentage change in pixel count. This suggests that the GPU is still the main bottleneck, but the CPU’s performance is also a factor at 1080p. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high, and the CPU’s ability to process game logic and draw calls becomes more important. The results indicate that this combo is well-balanced, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, which is expected for a high-end gaming system.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1080p: The data shows a wide range of performance across settings. At Low, the average FPS is 368, which is exceptionally high. The Medium preset provides an average of 290 FPS, with a minimum of 247 FPS and a maximum of 334 FPS. High settings deliver an average of 232 FPS. The Ultra preset, while still highly playable, drops to an average of 180 FPS. This shows a clear performance scaling, with the difference between Low and Ultra being 188 FPS, a 51% reduction. The system is clearly capable of driving high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution.

1440p: At this resolution, the average FPS values are lower but still impressive. Low settings produce an average of 242 FPS. Medium settings average 191 FPS, with a minimum of 163 FPS and a maximum of 220 FPS. High settings maintain a strong average of 153 FPS. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 119 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 123 FPS drop, a 51% reduction, which is similar to the 1080p scaling. This indicates that the performance hit from increasing settings is consistent across these resolutions.

4K: The highest resolution demonstrates the GPU’s limits. At Low settings, the average FPS is 135. Medium settings provide an average of 106 FPS, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS. High settings deliver an average of 85 FPS, which is still very playable. The Ultra preset drops to an average of 66 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 69 FPS, a 51% reduction. The data shows that even at 4K, the system provides a playable experience at all settings, though Ultra will require a G-Sync or FreeSync display to manage the lower frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 plays a critical role in this combo’s performance. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory is more than sufficient for Fivem at any resolution. The memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s ensures that the GPU can quickly access textures and assets, which is important in a multiplayer game with many dynamic elements. The GPU’s base clock of 2235 MHz and boost clock of 2520 MHz are high, allowing for rapid processing of graphics data.

The GPU’s performance in Fivem is directly tied to its ability to render complex scenes. The RTX 4090’s high pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s are key contributors to the high frame rates observed. The data shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops significantly when moving from 1080p to 4K. The 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power ensures that even the most demanding visual effects are handled smoothly.

The GPU’s end-of-life production status is notable, but its performance remains top-tier. The data indicates that the RTX 4090 is not a bottleneck for this CPU at 1080p and 1440p, but it becomes the limiting factor at 4K. This is a natural consequence of the increased pixel workload. The large 24 GB memory buffer is also beneficial for future-proofing, as it can handle larger textures and more complex scenes without running out of memory.
