Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that stresses both CPU and GPU depending on the server environment and graphical settings. Using the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, the measured frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets reveal a system that scales predictably with load, though the balance between processor and graphics card shifts significantly as resolution changes. The data set includes 12 distinct average FPS measurements, all captured with this specific combo, which ranks 294th out of 1792 tested combinations in this game.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces a dramatic reduction in frame rates, indicating that the RTX 4070 SUPER becomes the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 287.9 at 1920x1080 to 192.7 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 95.2 FPS. Moving further to 3840x2160, the average falls to 108.2, which represents a 62.4% decrease from the 1080p result. This steep decline at lower settings is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the processor has ample headroom.

The pattern changes when comparing High settings across resolutions. The 1080p High preset achieves 184.1 FPS, while 1440p High delivers 117.1 FPS, and 4K High drops to 66.5 FPS. The scaling factor from 1080p to 4K is roughly 2.77x, which closely tracks the pixel count difference of 4x, suggesting that the graphics card is doing most of the work without CPU interference. However, the Ultra preset tells a slightly different story. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 139.7 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it falls to 51.3 FPS — a 63.3% reduction. The fact that Ultra settings compress the absolute FPS range across resolutions (from 51.3 to 139.7) compared to Low settings (from 108.2 to 287.9) indicates that graphical effects are adding a consistent cost regardless of resolution.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the Ryzen 9 5900X can push the RTX 4070 SUPER to its limits only at the highest settings. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 148.2 FPS, but at 4K, that same gap narrows to 56.9 FPS. This compression at higher resolutions is the hallmark of GPU saturation. For players targeting 4K, the CPU becomes nearly irrelevant, as the 4K Low result of 108.2 FPS is still lower than the 1080p Ultra result of 139.7 FPS, meaning the graphics card is the sole limiting component in every 4K scenario tested.

A: The RTX 4070 SUPER ranks in the 84th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 9 5900X ranks in the 90th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU's average benchmark score of 42576 positions it close to the RTX A6000 and AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node from TSMC, containing 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. Its boost clock is rated at 2475 MHz, with a base clock of 1980 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications translate into a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute rated at 35.48 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 4K Low, the average FPS of 108.2 is lower than the 1440p Low result of 192.7, but the gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 24.9 FPS (from 108.2 to 83.3). This relatively small delta suggests that the shader and texture work at Medium settings is not overwhelmingly heavy, but the pixel fill rate demands at 4K are substantial. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 51.3 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p Ultra result of 139.7 FPS, confirming that the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 80 ROPs are the limiting factors.

The GPU's benchmark results show a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627, along with Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores of 192684 and 179271 respectively. Passmark G3D and GPU Compute scores are 29995 and 17108. These numbers position the card in the 84th percentile overall, with nearest rivals including the RTX A6000 (0.2% higher) and AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (0.3% higher). The measured FPS data aligns with this positioning: the card can comfortably handle 1080p at any setting, but 4K Ultra pushes it to just above 50 FPS, indicating that for high-refresh 4K play, settings would need to be reduced.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest performance across all settings. The Low preset averages 287.9 FPS, which is the single fastest result in the entire data set. Medium settings produce 231.9 FPS, High settings produce 184.1 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 139.7 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a consistent step-down of roughly 48 FPS per tier, though the gap from Low to Medium (56 FPS) is slightly larger than from Medium to High (47.8 FPS) and from High to Ultra (44.4 FPS). This suggests that the Low preset removes a significant amount of geometry or draw distance work that the CPU would otherwise handle.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but begin to show GPU limitations. Low settings average 192.7 FPS, Medium averages 151.9 FPS, High averages 117.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 94.5 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: Low falls by 33%, Medium by 34.5%, High by 36.4%, and Ultra by 32.4%. This uniformity indicates that the scaling penalty is primarily resolution-driven rather than settings-driven, meaning the GPU's shading units (7168 total) are being utilized evenly.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve flattens considerably. Low settings deliver 108.2 FPS, Medium delivers 83.3 FPS, High delivers 66.5 FPS, and Ultra delivers 51.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 56.9 FPS, compared to 148.2 FPS at 1080p. The 4K results show that even the Low preset cannot reach the 1440p Ultra result of 94.5 FPS, confirming that the GPU is the absolute constraint. The 4K High result of 66.5 FPS is notable because it is nearly identical to the 4K Ultra result of 51.3 FPS in terms of relative positioning, but still 15.2 FPS faster.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer), manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, and it features 64 MB of L3 cache alongside 512 KB of L2 cache per core. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, connecting via PCIe Gen 4. In general benchmark tests, the 5900X scores 33150 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 4680 in single-core, with a Geekbench multicore score of 11877 and single-core score of 2202. Its 3DMark max-thread score is 10075, and the average benchmark score is 39453, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs.

In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most visible at 1080p, where the frame rates exceed 200 FPS at Low and Medium settings. The 1080p Low result of 287.9 FPS and 1080p Medium result of 231.9 FPS indicate that the 5900X can feed the RTX 4070 SUPER effectively at high frame rates, leveraging its 12 cores for the game's multiplayer logic and world streaming. However, the CPU's role diminishes at higher resolutions. At 4K, even the Low preset produces only 108.2 FPS, which is below the 1440p Ultra result of 94.5 FPS, showing that the GPU's rendering workload dominates. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 941 and Passmark single-thread score of 3469 suggest that it has sufficient per-core performance for the game's primary thread, but the data does not show a CPU bottleneck at any resolution tested.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the 5900X's average score of 39453 is just 0.2% above the AMD EPYC 4245P (39383) and 0.9% above the Intel Core i7-13700F (39095). It sits 0.7% below the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS (39747) and 1% below the Intel Core i7-13700 (39857). These differences are marginal, meaning the 5900X's performance in Fivem is likely representative of this performance class. The CPU's 24 threads provide ample parallelism for background tasks, but the measured FPS data shows that in Fivem, the graphics card is the deciding factor for frame rates, particularly at 1440p and 4K where the GPU's 12 GB of VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are fully engaged.
