Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a solid, if not spectacular, experience in Fivem, with performance heavily dictated by the graphics settings and resolution. The data shows a system that can easily handle 1080p and 1440p gaming at high frame rates, but it struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at 4K, particularly on higher presets. The pairing of a top-tier 12-core CPU with a mid-range Turing GPU creates a clear bottleneck, with the graphics card being the primary limiting factor in this multiplayer title.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a formidable processor, built on the Zen 4 architecture and fabricated on a 5 nm process. Its specifications are impressive: 12 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It also features a substantial 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, which is beneficial for handling the complex simulation and networking tasks common in multiplayer environments like Fivem. The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce its high-end status, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 43695 and a single-core score of 6168. Its average benchmark score of 50556 places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is faster than the vast majority of processors on the market.

Despite its raw power, the 7900X rarely appears to be the limiting factor in this specific Fivem configuration. Evidence for this comes from the CPU’s nearest rival comparisons. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 scores nearly identically, with an average score of 50598 and a deltaPct of -0.1%, meaning the 7900X is essentially tied with it. Similarly, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT (avg score 50738, deltaPct -0.4%) and Intel Core i7-13850HX (avg score 50827, deltaPct -0.5%) are all within a percentage point. This shows that the 7900X is a top-tier performer, and in this system, its capabilities far exceed what the GPU can feed it in Fivem. The CPU's high single-thread performance, as shown by its 3DMark single-thread score of 1093 and PassMark single-thread score of 4238, ensures that the game’s primary logic thread is handled with ease, preventing CPU-related frame drops and stutters even when the GPU is saturated.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the clear performance constraint in this pairing. This GPU is based on the Turing architecture and manufactured on a 12 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The card’s boost clock is 1650 MHz, and it has a rated pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s. While these are respectable figures, the GPU’s average benchmark score of 19774 puts it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, which is a significant step down from the CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking.

The GPU's position relative to its rivals is telling. The RTX 2060 SUPER is only 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (avg score 19706) and just 0.5% ahead of the RTX 2070 (avg score 19680). This clustering suggests that the 2060 SUPER is firmly in the mid-range tier of performance. In Fivem, the GPU's workload is substantial, handling the rendering of the game world, vehicles, and player models. The benchmark results indicate that at 1080p with Low settings, the GPU can push an average of 157.7 FPS, which is likely near the practical limit for smooth gameplay. However, as the resolution and settings are increased, the GPU's load grows exponentially, and it becomes the bottleneck, capping frame rates well below what the CPU could theoretically support. The 8 GB VRAM is adequate for most scenarios, but the card's raw compute power, with an FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS, is what limits high-fidelity and high-resolution performance.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data clearly illustrates the GPU-bound nature of this system. Moving from 1080p to 4K at High settings results in a dramatic performance drop. The system delivers an average of 100.6 FPS at 1920x1080, which drops to 64.7 FPS at 2560x1440, and further plummets to 35.3 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 64.9% decrease in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, a pattern consistent with a system where the GPU is struggling to keep up with the increasing pixel count.

The scaling at lower settings provides a different perspective. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 157.7 FPS at 1080p to 106.1 FPS at 1440p and then to 59.6 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 62.2%, which is slightly less than at High settings, but still substantial. This indicates that even when the graphical load is reduced, the GPU remains the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see frame rates plateau at a certain level regardless of resolution, as the CPU would be maxed out. Instead, the frame rates scale inversely with the number of pixels, which is the classic signature of a GPU-limited scenario. The data strongly suggests that the Ryzen 9 7900X is waiting on the RTX 2060 SUPER to finish its rendering work at resolutions above 1080p.

FAQ

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

A: Based on the data, 2560x1440 provides an excellent balance between visual fidelity and performance. At High settings, the average FPS is 64.7, which is playable, while Low settings achieve a very high 106.1 FPS for competitive play.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Fivem?

A: The data shows that 4K is only viable on Low settings, where the average FPS is 59.6. On Medium, High, and Ultra settings, the average FPS drops to 44.6, 35.3, and 29.4 respectively, which are below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the primary bottleneck in this configuration?

A: The GPU is the limiting component. This is evident from the significant frame rate drops when increasing resolution, which is a classic sign of GPU saturation. The CPU’s high benchmark scores and percentile ranking (93rd) compared to the GPU’s (63rd) further confirm this imbalance.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 2060 SUPER combination ranks 1304th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle portion of all configs, which is consistent with the GPU being a mid-range part.

Q: What is the difference in performance between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The difference is substantial. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 157.7 FPS, while Ultra settings produce an average of 76.1 FPS. This is a 107.2% increase in frame rate when switching from Ultra to Low.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its nearest rival, the RTX 2070?

A: According to the benchmark data, the RTX 2060 SUPER has an average score of 19774, which is 0.5% higher than the RTX 2070's average score of 19680. The performance difference between the two is negligible.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of all tested configurations for Fivem, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combo occupies the 1304th position out of 1792 total combinations. This ranking places it in the 27th percentile of all systems tested, meaning that roughly 73% of other combinations deliver better performance in this game. This is a direct result of the pairing of a top-tier CPU with a mid-range GPU. While the CPU is in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, the GPU is only in the 63rd percentile, creating a significant imbalance. The data indicates that this combination is held back by the GPU, and its overall rank is more indicative of the GPU's performance level than the CPU's. A system with a more powerful GPU paired with this CPU would rank substantially higher.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, the data suggests that the High preset at 2560x1440 is the optimal choice. This configuration delivers an average of 64.7 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth, responsive gameplay, while still providing a good level of visual quality. If a player prioritizes maximum frame rates for competitive play, the Low preset at 1920x1080 is the best option, achieving an average of 157.7 FPS. At 4K, the Low preset is the only setting that provides a playable experience, with an average of 59.6 FPS. The High and Ultra presets at 4K should be avoided due to average frame rates of 35.3 and 29.4, respectively. The Medium preset is a reasonable fallback for 1440p, offering 82.8 FPS, but High provides a better visual-to-performance ratio.
