Fivem

Fivem on this AMD Ryzen 9 5900X + AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT system shows a clear performance hierarchy across its four settings presets. The benchmark data places this combo at rank 614 out of 1792 tested configurations, which puts it in the upper third of all systems measured for this multiplayer title. The CPU sits at the 90th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks at the 87th percentile among all graphics cards, indicating a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outclasses the other.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows reveal that the Medium preset offers the most practical balance for this hardware in Fivem. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 192.3 FPS average, which is 39.4 FPS higher than High and 71.5 FPS higher than Ultra at the same resolution. The jump from Medium to High costs you 39.4 FPS at 1080p, while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 32.1 FPS. This pattern holds across resolutions: at 2560x1440, Medium produces 125 FPS versus 99.9 FPS on High and 80 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, Medium maintains 67.3 FPS, which stays above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while High drops to 57.9 FPS and Ultra falls to 42 FPS.

Low settings push the system to 238.4 FPS at 1080p and 158.7 FPS at 1440p, but the visual compromise is significant for a game like Fivem where readability of distant objects matters. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot because it keeps frame rates well above refresh-rate territory at 1080p and 1440p while still providing reasonable visual quality. For 4K displays, Medium is the only preset that stays above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for that resolution. Ultra is only viable if you prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate and can tolerate sub-60 performance at 4K or sub-121 performance at 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X brings 12 cores and 24 threads from the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost up to 4.80 GHz. This processor’s benchmark results show strong multi-threaded capability: it scores 33150 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 13923 in Cinebench R20 multi-core. Single-thread performance is equally robust, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4680 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2202. These numbers matter for Fivem because the game’s multiplayer nature often creates CPU-bound scenarios with many players and entities in close proximity.

The 5900X’s 64 MB of L3 cache helps with the game’s asset streaming and entity management. In 3DMark tests, the processor scales from 941 in single-thread to 10075 in max-threads, showing good scaling across its 12 physical cores. The PassMark multithread score of 39002 and physics score of 1994 indicate that the CPU can handle the simulation overhead that Fivem’s roleplay servers frequently impose. Compared to its nearest rivals, the 5900X sits within 1% of the AMD EPYC 4245P (0.2% faster) and Intel Core i7-13700 (1% slower), making it competitive with modern workstation and desktop chips. The 24 threads ensure that background tasks from server-side scripts or voice chat won’t starve the game of processing resources.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its RDNA 2.0 architecture operates at a base clock of 1825 MHz with a boost of 2250 MHz and a game clock of 2015 MHz. The 4608 shading units and 128 ROPs provide substantial rasterization throughput, which is reflected in the PassMark G3D score of 24980 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3689. For Fivem, which is built on a modified Grand Theft Auto V engine, the GPU handles draw calls, texture streaming, and post-processing effects.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant for Fivem because custom servers often load high-resolution texture packs and custom models. The GPU’s Vulkan score of 152200 and OpenCL score of 154506 suggest strong compute performance that can assist with any server-side rendering offload. In terms of rivals, the 6800 XT sits 2.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and 1.9% ahead of the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, while trailing the NVIDIA RTX A1000 by 1.7%. The GPU’s 87th percentile ranking confirms it is a high-end part, but the measured FPS data shows that Fivem at Ultra settings can still push it to its limits, particularly at 4K where it manages only 42 FPS.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Fivem with this hardware?

A: At 1920x1080, the system delivers 120.8 FPS on Ultra and 238.4 FPS on Low, while at 2560x1440 it maintains 80 FPS on Ultra and 158.7 FPS on Low. The 3840x2160 results show 42 FPS on Ultra and 87.1 FPS on Low, so 1440p is the highest resolution where Ultra settings remain playable.

Q: How does this CPU compare to its nearest competitors?

A: The Ryzen 9 5900X has an average benchmark score of 39453, which is 0.2% higher than the AMD EPYC 4245P and 0.9% higher than the Intel Core i7-13700F. It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS by 0.7% and the Intel Core i7-13700 by 1%.

Q: Is the RX 6800 XT a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: At 1080p with Low settings, the system reaches 238.4 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well. However, the drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 117.6 FPS (from 238.4 to 120.8), indicating that GPU load increases significantly with settings rather than the CPU limiting performance.

Q: What settings should I use for a 4K monitor?

A: The Medium preset at 3840x2160 produces 67.3 FPS, which is the only 4K setting above 60 FPS. High drops to 57.9 FPS and Ultra falls to 42 FPS, so Medium is the recommended choice for 4K gameplay.

Q: How does the system rank overall for Fivem?

A: This CPU and GPU combination ranks 614 out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the top 34% of all systems. The CPU’s 90th percentile and GPU’s 87th percentile rankings show a well-matched pair.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows how the system scales from 1080p to 4K across all settings. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 238.4 at 1080p to 158.7 at 1440p (a 33.4% reduction) and then to 87.1 at 4K (a 45.1% further reduction from 1440p). For Medium settings, the progression is 192.3 to 125 to 67.3, with the 1440p to 4K drop being 46.2%. High settings show 152.9 to 99.9 to 57.9, where the 4K result is 62.1% lower than the 1080p figure. Ultra settings demonstrate the steepest decline: 120.8 at 1080p, 80 at 1440p, and 42 at 4K, with the 1080p to 4K reduction being 65.2%.

The scaling pattern indicates that the RX 6800 XT becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 117.6 FPS, but at 4K that gap narrows to 45.1 FPS. This compression of the settings spread at higher resolutions is typical of GPU-bound scenarios, where the graphics card’s fill rate and memory bandwidth determine performance. The 512.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 288.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at most settings but get saturated at 4K, particularly with Ultra’s increased draw distances and texture quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces 238.4 FPS on Low, 192.3 FPS on Medium, 152.9 FPS on High, and 120.8 FPS on Ultra. The Medium to High transition costs 39.4 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 32.1 FPS. These figures show that the 6800 XT has substantial headroom at 1080p, with even Ultra settings exceeding 120 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are 158.7 FPS on Low, 125 FPS on Medium, 99.9 FPS on High, and 80 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 79.7 FPS on Low, 67.3 FPS on Medium, 53 FPS on High, and 40.8 FPS on Ultra. The relative reduction is largest at Low settings (33.4%) and smallest at Ultra (33.8%), showing consistent scaling behavior across presets.

At 3840x2160, the system achieves 87.1 FPS on Low, 67.3 FPS on Medium, 57.9 FPS on High, and 42 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p to 4K transition costs 71.6 FPS on Low, 57.7 FPS on Medium, 42 FPS on High, and 38 FPS on Ultra. Notably, the High preset at 4K falls below 60 FPS, while Medium stays above it. The Ultra preset at 4K only reaches 42 FPS, which is 35.2% of the 1080p Low result. The data confirms that this hardware combination is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring settings compromises to maintain playable frame rates.
