Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a high-refresh-rate experience in Fivem, with performance scaling predictably across resolutions and settings. The data shows a configuration that is heavily CPU-bound at lower resolutions, transitioning to a GPU-bound scenario only at 4K Ultra settings. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates and contextualizes the combo’s standing among the 1792 tested configurations.

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

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process from TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, with a 170 W TDP. The processor’s substantial multi-threading capabilities are reflected in its benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 43695 and a single-core score of 6168. In Fivem, a multiplayer modification that often relies on single-thread performance for game logic and physics, the high boost clock is a key asset. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1093 and the Passmark single-thread score of 4238 indicate strong per-core performance, which translates to high frame rates in scenarios where the CPU is the limiting factor.

The processor’s 64 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth help maintain data flow to the cores. In Fivem’s dense urban environments with numerous entities, the CPU’s ability to process draw calls and game state updates quickly is critical. The benchmark results show that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 288.6 FPS, which is 25% higher than the 1080p High result of 185 FPS. This gap suggests that even at 1080p, the CPU is not the sole bottleneck at lower graphical settings, as the GPU is also capable of rendering frames quickly. However, the 1080p Ultra result of 143.2 FPS still demonstrates that the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently to maintain high frame rates, well above the 60 FPS threshold. The processor’s percentile rank of 93 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 50556, places it near the top tier, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, is only 0.1% behind in average score, indicating the 7900X’s competitive positioning.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and it has a TDP of 220 W. With 7168 shading units and 80 ROPs, the card is well-equipped for rendering Fivem’s environments. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 29995 and its percentile rank of 84 among all GPUs indicate solid performance, though it is not at the very top tier. The nearest GPU rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, is only 0.2% behind in average score, showing how tightly packed the performance envelope is around this card.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more prominent as resolution increases. At 4K, the frame rates drop significantly compared to 1080p, with the 4K Ultra result of 52.1 FPS being the lowest measured. This indicates that at 4K with max settings, the RTX 4070 SUPER becomes the primary bottleneck. The GPU’s 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for Fivem’s textures at all settings, as the game does not typically exceed this capacity at 4K. The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is adequate for the data throughput required at higher resolutions, but the raw compute power of the GPU limits performance in the most demanding scenarios. The measured FPS at 1440p High of 122.2 FPS shows a balanced load, where both the CPU and GPU contribute to the final frame rate.

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

The resolution scaling data reveals a clear shift in the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 288.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the frame rate drops to 192.6 FPS, a 33% reduction. At 4K Low, the frame rate falls to 105.3 FPS, which is a 45% drop from the 1440p result. This scaling pattern is typical of a CPU-limited scenario at lower resolutions; the GPU has enough headroom to render frames quickly, but the CPU cannot feed it fast enough to maintain the same frame rates as resolution drops. The 1080p High result of 185 FPS versus the 1440p High result of 122.2 FPS shows a 34% drop, while the 4K High result of 64.9 FPS is a 47% drop from 1440p. This consistent percentage drop across settings indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases.

The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 52.1 FPS, which is a 64% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result of 143.2 FPS. This steep decline confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary bottleneck at 4K Ultra, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to handle the game logic, but the GPU cannot render the higher pixel count with max settings. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the CPU is the limiting factor, as the GPU is capable of producing frames faster than the CPU can process the game state. The 288.6 FPS result is likely near the CPU’s maximum frame delivery rate in Fivem, given the game’s single-threaded tendencies. The transition point appears to be around 1440p High, where the system achieves a balanced 122.2 FPS, suggesting neither component is severely saturated.

Measured FPS Breakdown, resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS is 288.6. Increasing to Medium settings yields 226.4 FPS, a 21% decrease. High settings produce 185 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 143.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 145.4 FPS, showing significant scaling with graphical fidelity. At 2560x1440, the results are 192.6 FPS on Low, 153 FPS on Medium, 122.2 FPS on High, and 91.4 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 101.2 FPS. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are 105.3 FPS on Low, 85.3 FPS on Medium, 64.9 FPS on High, and 52.1 FPS on Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 53.2 FPS, indicating a tighter spread as the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

The data shows that the system can maintain over 60 FPS at 4K on Medium settings, with 85.3 FPS, and even on High settings at 64.9 FPS, it stays above the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops below 60 FPS to 52.1 FPS, which may be noticeable on a 60 Hz display but is still playable. At 1440p, all settings exceed 90 FPS, with Low and Medium exceeding 150 FPS, making this resolution the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 1080p, even Ultra settings maintain 143.2 FPS, which is suitable for 144 Hz displays, and Low settings approach 300 FPS for competitive play.

How This Combo Ranks, use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 292nd out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 16% of all configurations. This rank is respectable, given that the CPU is in the 93rd percentile and the GPU is in the 84th percentile. The ranking suggests that while the individual components are strong, there are many combos with higher-end GPUs that achieve better frame rates in Fivem, particularly at 4K. The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT, have nearly identical average scores, with deltas of -0.1% and -0.4% respectively, indicating that the 7900X is not a performance outlier in synthetic benchmarks.

In terms of the GPU, the RTX 4070 SUPER’s nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA RTX A6000 and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, show deltas of -0.2% and -0.3%, confirming that the GPU is also in a tight performance cluster. The combo’s rank of 292 is likely influenced by the GPU’s 12 GB of VRAM and its performance ceiling at 4K Ultra, where it falls below 60 FPS. Combos with higher-tier GPUs, such as the RTX 4080 or RTX 4090, would likely rank higher due to their ability to maintain higher frame rates at 4K. The data indicates that this combo is well-suited for 1440p gaming, where it achieves over 120 FPS on High settings, and can handle 4K at reduced settings, but it is not a top-tier 4K Ultra performer. The rank reflects a balanced mid-to-high-end configuration that excels at lower resolutions and is adequate for 4K with compromises.
