Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a broad performance envelope in Fivem, with results that shift dramatically based on resolution and quality preset. The measured data shows this combination is capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p, remains solidly playable at 1440p, and only begins to struggle at 4K with the heaviest settings.

Settings Recommendations

The data indicates that the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate across all three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 149 FPS, which is 30 FPS higher than High and 57 FPS above Ultra, while still maintaining a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS. This headroom ensures consistent smoothness even in demanding multiplayer scenarios. At 2560x1440, Medium produces 98 FPS average with a minimum of 83 FPS, which keeps gameplay fluid, whereas High drops to 78 FPS and Ultra falls to 61 FPS. The 4K Medium result of 54 FPS average, with a minimum of 46 FPS, remains borderline playable, but it is the only preset at that resolution that offers a minimum frame rate above 45 FPS.

For players prioritizing maximum smoothness over visual polish, the Low preset is the clear choice. At 1080p, Low achieves 189 FPS average, and at 1440p it still reaches 124 FPS. Even at 4K, Low maintains 69 FPS average, which is a significant jump over Medium’s 54 FPS. The High preset sits in a middle ground: it provides 119 FPS at 1080p and 78 FPS at 1440p, but at 4K it drops to 44 FPS, which is below the 45 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for acceptable playability. Ultra is only recommended for 1080p use, where it produces 92 FPS average, as it falls to 61 FPS at 1440p and 34 FPS at 4K.

The data clearly shows that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo, offering roughly 60% more performance than Ultra at 1080p while still providing a visually richer experience than Low. At 1440p, Medium is the only preset that keeps the average above 90 FPS, making it the definitive choice for high refresh rate monitors at that resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a boost clock of 2460 MHz and a base clock of 1830 MHz. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs contribute to a pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 15.11 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution increases. At 1080p, the RTX 4060 is more than sufficient, as evidenced by the 189 FPS result on Low settings. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 97 FPS, showing that the GPU has ample headroom even at higher quality settings. However, the 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors at 4K, where the Ultra preset drops to 34 FPS. The bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the data suggests that at 4K, the GPU’s memory subsystem and raw compute power are stretched thin.

The RTX 4060’s 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639, places it in the mid-range tier. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon HD 7790, scores 17666, which is 0.2% higher, while the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% lower. This indicates that the RTX 4060’s raw compute performance is competitive with much older or integrated solutions, but in Fivem, the measured frame rates show that it is the resolution and settings combination that truly dictates performance.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS degradation from 1080p to 4K is steep and reveals the limiting component at each stage. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 149 FPS. Moving to 1440p Medium drops this to 98 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 54 FPS, which is another 45% reduction from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, since the CPU’s performance remains constant across all resolutions.

The Low preset shows a similar trajectory: 189 FPS at 1080p, 124 FPS at 1440p, and 69 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% and 44% respectively, closely mirroring the Medium preset’s scaling. This consistency suggests that the RTX 4060’s compute and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors at higher resolutions, regardless of the quality preset. At 1080p, the CPU likely plays a more significant role, as the 7900X’s 12 cores and 24 threads can keep up with the GPU’s output, but the frame rates are so high that even small CPU hiccups could become noticeable.

The 4K results are particularly telling. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 34, which is less than half of the 1080p Ultra result of 92 FPS. The 4K High preset at 44 FPS is only 37% of the 1080p High result of 119 FPS. This disproportionate drop at 4K is characteristic of a GPU that is overwhelmed by the pixel count, especially when considering the RTX 4060’s 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, which are modest by modern standards.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: The data shows 1920x1080 is the optimal resolution, where even the Ultra preset achieves 92 FPS average. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is needed to stay above 90 FPS, while at 4K, only the Low preset keeps the average above 60 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639, which is 0.2% lower than the AMD Radeon HD 7790’s 17666, and 0.3% higher than the AMD Radeon 780M’s 17588.

Q: Is 8 GB of VRAM enough for Fivem?

A: At 1080p and 1440p, the measured frame rates are high, but at 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 34 FPS and High to 44 FPS, suggesting that the 8 GB capacity and 128-bit bus limit performance at higher resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 1993rd out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it just past the midpoint of all tested configurations, which is a respectable showing given the RTX 4060’s mid-range positioning. The rank reflects the GPU’s 61st percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU sits in the 91st percentile among all CPUs. This imbalance suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, as the 7900X’s performance ceiling is much higher than what the RTX 4060 can utilize.

The 54th percentile ranking in Fivem indicates that this combo outperforms roughly half of all tested configurations. This is consistent with the measured frame rates, which show strong performance at 1080p and 1440p but struggle at 4K. The CPU’s high percentile ranking does not translate into a higher combo rank because Fivem’s performance at higher resolutions is dominated by GPU capability. The data shows that the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus are the primary constraints, particularly at 4K where even the Medium preset only manages 54 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It features 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with support for DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration providing 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU’s 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53288, places it in the upper echelon of processors.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 189 FPS, which is a frame rate that demands strong single-thread and multi-thread performance. The 7900X’s single-thread score of 1093 in 3DMark and 2016.5 in Cinebench R23 indicates it can handle the game’s simulation and physics threads effectively. The multi-thread capabilities, shown by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29300, ensure that background tasks and other players in multiplayer sessions do not cause frame drops.

At higher resolutions, the CPU’s influence diminishes. The 4K results show a consistent pattern across presets, where the GPU becomes the bottleneck. However, the CPU’s performance ensures that even at 4K Low, the combo maintains 69 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. The 7900X’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD EPYC 7313P, which scores 53206 (0.2% lower), and the Intel Core i7-14700F, which scores 53620 (0.6% higher). These narrow margins indicate that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo; rather, it provides ample headroom for the RTX 4060 to operate at its full potential.
