Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 produces a distinct performance profile in Fivem, one that is heavily dictated by resolution and settings. The data reveals a system where the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the processor’s strong multi-threading capabilities become more relevant at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across all tested configurations, interprets the scaling patterns, and contextualizes the combo’s standing among other tested hardware.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent drop in performance as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 82.1 FPS at 1080p to 52.6 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 30.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a steep decline of approximately 36% when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 43% drop when stepping up to 4K. Such a pattern strongly indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is the limiting component in this configuration at higher resolutions, as the GPU's workload increases disproportionately with pixel count.

The scaling behavior is even more pronounced when examining the Low settings preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 130.8 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough frames to hit high refresh rates. However, at 4K Low, the average FPS plummets to 50, a 62% reduction. This massive drop at the same settings, where CPU load is relatively constant, reinforces that the GTX 1070’s compute and memory bandwidth are being saturated by the 4K resolution.

Conversely, the transition from 1440p to 1080p yields diminishing returns, particularly at High settings. The jump from 52.6 FPS to 82.1 FPS is substantial, but the difference between 1440p and 4K at the same preset is even more severe. The data suggests that the sweet spot for this combo is 1440p, where the GPU can still maintain playable frame rates without the extreme penalty seen at 4K. At 1080p, the system appears to be less GPU-bound, allowing the Ryzen 9 5900X’s 12 cores and 24 threads to push higher frame counts, especially at Low and Medium settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the most balanced experience for this combo is achieved at Medium settings across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 103.3 FPS, which is only 21% lower than the Low preset’s 130.8 FPS but provides a significant visual upgrade over Low. At 2560x1440, Medium yields 65.9 FPS, a level that remains smooth for most gameplay scenarios, whereas High drops to 52.6 FPS and Ultra falls to 43.6 FPS. For users targeting 1440p, Medium is the clear recommendation, as it offers the best compromise between fluidity and fidelity.

At 4K, the situation is more constrained. The Ultra preset is nearly unplayable at 21.1 FPS, and High is borderline at 30.1 FPS. The Medium preset at 37.2 FPS is the highest playable option, but even this is below the 60 FPS threshold desirable for fast-paced multiplayer action. The Low preset at 50 FPS is the only configuration at 4K that approaches acceptable smoothness, but it sacrifices almost all visual quality. Therefore, for 4K usage, Low settings are recommended if playability is the priority, while Medium is the ceiling for those who can tolerate lower frame rates.

For 1080p users, the data suggests that High settings at 82.1 FPS is a strong choice, as it maintains high frame rates while offering better visual fidelity than Medium. However, if the user prioritizes maximum smoothness for competitive play, the Low preset’s 130.8 FPS is the best option. The Ultra preset at 1080p still manages 63.1 FPS, which is playable but shows a significant performance hit compared to High, indicating that the Ultra preset’s extra effects place a heavy load on the GTX 1070’s 8 GB of GDDR5 memory.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader database of tested hardware, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ranks 1506 out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places the combo in the bottom 16% of all tested configurations, which is a low standing that reflects the GPU’s age and mid-range positioning. The GTX 1070’s percentile vs all GPUs is 51, meaning it outperforms roughly half of all GPUs in the database, but this is not enough to compete with modern hardware that dominates the top ranks.

The CPU, however, is a high-performing component. The Ryzen 9 5900X sits in the 90th percentile vs all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 39453. Its nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks include the AMD EPYC 4245P, which scores 39383 (a 0.2% delta), and the Intel Core i7-13700, which scores 39857 (a -1% delta). This shows the 5900X is competitive with those processors, but the combo’s overall rank is dragged down by the GTX 1070. The GPU’s nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER (12504 average score, -1.4% delta) and the NVIDIA Quadro K4200 (12241 average score, 0.7% delta), confirm that the 1070 is only slightly above or below these mid-range parts in raw compute.

Given this ranking, the data indicates that the Ryzen 9 5900X is significantly underutilized when paired with the GTX 1070 in Fivem. The CPU’s high multi-core performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33150, is not the limiting factor in this game. Instead, the GPU’s 6.463 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 256.3 GB/s memory bandwidth are the primary constraints, which explains why the combo ranks so low despite having a top-tier processor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured FPS values provides a detailed view of performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 130.8 at Low to 63.1 at Ultra, with Medium at 103.3 and High at 82.1. At 2560x1440, the values are 88.5 at Low, 65.9 at Medium, 52.6 at High, and 43.6 at Ultra. At 3840x2160, the averages are 50 at Low, 37.2 at Medium, 30.1 at High, and 21.1 at Ultra.

These numbers reveal a consistent pattern: the delta between Low and Ultra is roughly 50% at 1080p (from 130.8 to 63.1), but the absolute drop in FPS per settings tier is more significant at higher resolutions. For example, at 4K, moving from Low to Medium costs 12.8 FPS, while moving from Medium to High costs 7.1 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 9 FPS. This non-linear scaling suggests that certain settings, such as shadows and reflections, have a disproportionate impact on the GTX 1070 at high pixel counts.

The data also shows that the gap between 1080p and 1440p is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K at the same settings. At High, the difference between 1080p and 1440p is 29.5 FPS, while the difference between 1440p and 4K is 22.5 FPS. This indicates that the GPU’s memory bus width of 256 bits and bandwidth of 256.3 GB/s are adequate for 1440p but become a bottleneck at 4K, where the higher pixel fill rate demands more from the 8 GB frame buffer.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, based on the Pascal architecture and GP104 chip, plays a critical role in determining Fivem’s performance. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 256.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1506 MHz with a boost clock of 1683 MHz, and it features 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. These specifications result in a pixel rate of 107.7 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 202.0 GTexel/s, which are moderate by modern standards but were competitive at the GPU’s 2016 launch.

In the context of Fivem, the GTX 1070’s 8 GB of VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all tested settings, but the data suggests that Ultra settings at 4K push the memory subsystem to its limits. The 21.1 FPS average at 4K Ultra indicates that the GPU is severely constrained, likely due to both memory bandwidth and fill rate limitations. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 6.463 TFLOPS is also a factor, as complex shaders at Ultra settings require more compute throughput than the Pascal chip can deliver at high resolutions.

The GPU’s benchmark scores further contextualize its role. Its PassMark G3D score is 13498, and its Geekbench OpenCL score is 47490. These place it in the 51st percentile among all GPUs, which is a middle-of-the-road position. In comparison, the GTX 1650 SUPER (a newer but lower-tier card) scores 12504 on average, a -1.4% delta, meaning the 1070 is slightly faster. However, the GTX 1070’s age and lack of modern features like hardware ray tracing mean it cannot compete with current-generation mid-range cards, which is why the combo’s overall rank in Fivem is so low.
