Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a measured set of frame rates across Fivem at three resolutions and four quality presets. The data shows a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the CPU's 12-core/24-thread Zen 4 design and the GPU's 10 GB GDDR6X memory playing distinct roles depending on the workload. The CPU's launch MSRP was $549, and the GPU's launch MSRP was 699 USD.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 processor with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. Its 64 MB shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (83.2 GB/s bandwidth) position it as a high-end desktop part. In the benchmark database, it holds the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 50,556. Its nearest rivals are all within 1%: the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 (50,598, -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT (50,738, -0.4%), the Intel Core i7-13850HX (50,827, -0.5%), and the Intel Core i9-13980HX (50,944, -0.8%). This clustering indicates that the 7900X's compute performance is essentially at parity with those parts, with differences that would not be perceptible in most games.

In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most visible at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 251 FPS, while at 3840x2160 Low it drops to 92.6 FPS. The 158.4 FPS gap between these two points is far larger than the gap between Low and Ultra at the same resolution (251 vs 125.2 at 1080p, a 125.8 FPS difference). This suggests that at 1080p the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond what the GPU can render at higher settings, while at 4K the GPU becomes the primary limiter. The 12-core/24-thread configuration provides ample headroom for the multiplayer workloads typical of Fivem, where many entities and scripts can stress multiple threads.

The 7900X's single-thread performance is also strong: its Cinebench R23 single-core score is 6,168, and its 3DMark single-thread score is 1,093. These numbers, while not directly comparable to Fivem's engine, indicate per-core strength that helps maintain high frame rates in lightly threaded scenarios. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 10,972 and max-thread score of 12,536 further underscore its multi-threaded capability, which is relevant for a game that often runs many background tasks in multiplayer sessions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show that the Medium preset offers the best balance of frame rate and visual quality across all three resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 196.7 FPS, which is 40.8 FPS higher than High (155.9) and 54.3 FPS higher than Low (251). The jump from Medium to High costs 40.8 FPS, while the jump from Low to Medium gains 54.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, Medium produces 130.1 FPS, High 103.5, and Low 161.9. The Medium-to-High drop is 26.6 FPS, while Low-to-Medium gains 31.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, Medium yields 72.3 FPS, High 59.6, and Low 92.6. Here, Medium is the only preset that stays above 60 FPS while offering more than Low's visual quality.

Ultra is not recommended at any resolution: it drops to 46.6 FPS at 4K, 80 at 1440p, and 125.2 at 1080p. The 4K Ultra result falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay on typical displays. At 1440p, High and Medium both exceed 100 FPS (103.5 and 130.1), so users with 144 Hz monitors can choose either. At 1080p, even Ultra exceeds 120 FPS, but the difference between Medium and Ultra is 71.5 FPS (196.7 vs 125.2), making Medium the more efficient choice for high refresh rates. The data consistently points to Medium as the sweet spot, providing a substantial frame rate advantage over High while retaining a meaningful quality improvement over Low.

FAQ

Q: What is the average frame rate at 2560x1440 with High settings?

A: The measured average FPS is 103.5.

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

A: It ranks 531st out of 1,792 tested combos, placing it in the top 30% of all configurations.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU limit performance at 4K Ultra?

A: The 4K Ultra average is 46.6 FPS, the lowest of all measured rows. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 46 FPS (92.6 - 46.6), while at 1080p the gap is 125.8 FPS (251 - 125.2). This indicates that at 4K the GPU is the primary constraint, as the CPU's headroom is not fully utilized.

Q: What is the VRAM capacity of the RTX 3080?

A: It has 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 9 7900X and RTX 3080 ranks 531st out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 30% of all configurations, since 531/1792 ≈ 0.296. The rank reflects the measured FPS across all settings and resolutions, not just a single preset. Given that the CPU sits in the 93rd percentile and the GPU in the 80th percentile, the combo's overall position is consistent with a high-end pairing that is not at the absolute top but is well above the median. The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 1% of its average score, and the GPU's nearest rivals are also within 1%, so the combo's rank is likely influenced by the specific game's engine and resolution scaling rather than by any single component being a clear outlier.

The measured FPS data shows that the combo performs best at 1080p, where it exceeds 125 FPS even on Ultra. At 1440p, it stays above 80 FPS on all presets, and at 4K it only falls below 60 FPS on Ultra. This pattern suggests that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, while 4K requires a reduction to Medium or Low to maintain playable frame rates. The rank of 531 out of 1,792 indicates that many other combinations—likely those with newer GPUs or higher-end CPUs—achieve better overall performance, but this pairing remains competitive for its class.

GPU Role

The RTX 3080 is an Ampere-generation GPU with 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, yielding 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1440 MHz and boost clock is 1710 MHz, with a memory clock of 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). In the database, it holds the 80th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35,787. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: it is 0.4% above the AMD Radeon 880M and 1% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, while trailing the AMD Radeon Pro Duo by 0.2% and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE by 0.9%.

The GPU's role becomes dominant as resolution increases. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 46.6 (Ultra) to 92.6 (Low). The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's textures at these settings, as the measured data does not show any anomalies that would indicate memory capacity issues. The 760.3 GB/s bandwidth supports the high frame rates seen at 1080p, where the GPU is not the limiting factor. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4,407 and Passmark G3D score of 25,086 provide additional context for the GPU's compute and rasterization performance, though Fivem's specific engine behavior is best captured by the measured FPS rows.

At 1080p Low, the GPU is not the bottleneck because the CPU can push 251 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU's limits are clear. The 46.6 FPS result at 4K Ultra is the only measured row below 60 FPS, and the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K (46 FPS) is much smaller than the corresponding gap at 1080p (125.8 FPS). This indicates that the GPU's rendering capacity is the primary constraint at high resolutions, while the CPU's headroom remains largely unused. The RTX 3080's 10 GB memory and 320-bit bus are adequate for Fivem's current content, but the measured data suggests that users targeting 4K should stick to Medium or Low presets to stay above 60 FPS.
