Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust Fivem experience, with the data showing a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the combination produces extremely high frame rates that heavily favor the CPU’s strong single-threaded performance, while at 4K, the GPU’s workload becomes the limiting factor, pulling average frame rates down to more typical levels for the RTX 4070 SUPER. This is a well-balanced pairing for a multiplayer title like Fivem, where the 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X provides ample headroom for background tasks and the GPU is capable of pushing high refresh rates at mainstream resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic resolution scaling curve. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average frame rate drops by roughly 35-40% across all settings, which is a significant but expected reduction. The transition from 1440p to 3840x2160 is even more demanding, with average FPS falling another 40-45%, showing that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit bus are being pushed hard at 4K. At 1080p, the CPU is the primary driver, as evidenced by the massive frame rates, particularly at Low settings where the average hits 291.5 FPS. This indicates that the Ryzen 9 5950X, with its high boost clock of 4.90 GHz and strong single-threaded scores, is not a limiting factor at this resolution.

The scaling pattern changes character at 1440p and 4K. At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on a more significant role, but the CPU still keeps the pipeline fed, as shown by the 192.9 FPS average at Low settings. At 3840x2160, the data clearly indicates a GPU-bound scenario. The jump from Low to High settings at 4K costs 35.2 FPS (from 103.0 to 67.8), demonstrating that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s compute resources are saturated. The performance delta between 1080p and 4K at Ultra settings is particularly telling: 143.6 FPS versus 53.1 FPS, a reduction of 63%, which is a much larger drop than the 50% reduction seen at Low settings (291.5 to 103.0). This suggests that the GPU’s shading units and RT cores are the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings, while the CPU remains capable of delivering far more frames than the GPU can render.

FAQ

Q: Is the Ryzen 9 5950X or the RTX 4070 SUPER the bottleneck at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the data shows a balance, with the GPU becoming more influential. The average at High settings is 119.8 FPS, and at Low it reaches 192.9 FPS, suggesting the CPU is still feeding frames efficiently but the GPU is working harder than at 1080p.

Q: What is the average FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: The difference is 147.9 FPS, with Low averaging 291.5 FPS and Ultra averaging 143.6 FPS, showing the significant impact of graphical settings on overall performance.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations in Fivem?

A: The combination ranks 302nd out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the top 17% of all configurations, which is a strong result for a high-end pairing.

Q: What is the performance delta between the Ryzen 9 5950X and its closest rival?

A: The Ryzen 9 5950X has an average benchmark score of 49062, which is 0.2% lower than the Intel Core i5-14600K’s average score of 49166, making them effectively equal in synthetic tests.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific configuration at rank 302 out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. This positioning, in the top 16.9% of all tested pairings, indicates a very capable system for this particular game. The rank reflects the synergy between the CPU and GPU, where the Ryzen 9 5950X’s high multi-threaded and single-threaded performance complements the RTX 4070 SUPER’s strong rasterization capabilities. The CPU sits in the 93rd percentile versus all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 84th percentile, showing that the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card in synthetic benchmarks. This imbalance is mitigated in Fivem, however, as the game’s engine appears to scale well with the CPU’s Zen 3 architecture, allowing the GPU to be fully utilized at higher resolutions. The nearest rival data for the CPU shows it is extremely close to the Intel Core i5-14600K, with a delta of -0.2%, meaning that swapping the CPU would likely yield negligible differences in Fivem’s average frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a wide spread across settings. Low settings produce an average of 291.5 FPS, which is exceptional for a multiplayer title. Medium settings reduce this to 228.8 FPS, while High settings yield 179.5 FPS. Ultra settings bring the average down to 143.6 FPS, which is still comfortably above the 144Hz refresh rate mark for high-refresh monitors. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is consistent, with each step up in quality costing roughly 50-60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the GPU’s increased workload. Low settings average 192.9 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium settings drop to 150.8 FPS, and High settings to 119.8 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p produce an average of 92.7 FPS, which is a smooth experience for most players and only slightly below the 100 FPS threshold that many consider ideal for fast-paced games. The relative drop from 1080p to 1440p is around 34% for Low settings and 35% for Ultra, indicating a consistent scaling factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings yield an average of 103.0 FPS, which is playable but not high-refresh territory. Medium settings average 80.8 FPS, High settings 67.8 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 53.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 49.9 FPS drop, which represents a 48% reduction in performance. This shows that while the RTX 4070 SUPER can handle 4K, it is not ideal for the highest refresh rates at this resolution. The data indicates that the sweet spot for this combo is 1440p, where it can deliver high frame rates across all settings, or 1080p for maximum competitive performance.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p is the clear choice, delivering an average of 291.5 FPS. This is ideal for competitive scenarios where response time is critical. However, for a more balanced experience that retains visual quality, the High preset at 1440p is the most compelling option. It produces an average of 119.8 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS standard and close to the 120Hz refresh rate that many modern monitors support. This setting offers a 36% performance increase over Ultra at the same resolution while providing a significant visual upgrade over Medium settings.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point, as it provides an average of 80.8 FPS, which is smoother than the 67.8 FPS at High and more playable than the 53.1 FPS at Ultra. The data suggests that Ultra settings at 4K should be reserved for less action-heavy moments or for players who prioritize image quality over responsiveness. For the best overall experience, the High preset at 1440p offers the strongest combination of frame rate and visual fidelity, as it capitalizes on the CPU’s headroom while keeping the GPU workload manageable. Players with high-refresh 1080p displays should consider the Medium or High presets, as the jump from Low to High costs 112 FPS but provides substantially better visuals, while the jump from High to Ultra only costs 35.9 FPS and may be worth it for those with G-Sync or FreeSync displays.
