Fivem

Fivem places a unique load on hardware, blending a heavily modified Grand Theft Auto V engine with the unpredictable demands of multiplayer servers. In this analysis, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a wide performance envelope, with frame rates that scale dramatically based on resolution and quality presets. The data reveals a system capable of high-refresh 1080p play, smooth 1440p experiences, and playable 4K, with the balance between CPU and GPU shifting as the resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear and consistent pattern: as resolution climbs from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, average FPS drops substantially across every settings preset. At Ultra settings, the system produces 152 FPS at 1080p, falls to 97.7 FPS at 1440p, and further declines to 56 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings. The scaling is similar for High settings, with 193.9 FPS at 1080p, 127.5 FPS at 1440p, and 68.4 FPS at 4K — a 65% drop.

The pattern changes noticeably at lower settings, which points to the limiting component. At Low settings, the system achieves 305.9 FPS at 1080p, 201.4 FPS at 1440p, and 109.3 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 64%, nearly identical to the higher presets. This consistency across presets suggests that the scaling bottleneck is primarily the GPU's rendering load, as reducing graphical quality does not flatten the resolution curve. The RTX 4070 Ti, with its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, is the component that must process the additional pixels at higher resolutions, and the data shows its throughput limits are being reached.

However, the absolute gains from lowering settings at 1080p are revealing. Moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p costs roughly half the frame rate (305.9 FPS down to 152 FPS). At 4K, the same settings change reduces performance by a smaller margin (109.3 FPS down to 56 FPS). This indicates that at 1080p, the CPU has more headroom to feed frames, and the GPU becomes the primary constraint even at lower settings. At 4K, both components are under significant load, but the GPU's pixel throughput is the dominant factor in the final frame rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the central piece in this performance puzzle. Its boost clock of 2610 MHz and base clock of 2310 MHz, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 7680 shading units, provides the raw compute for Fivem's demanding scenes. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory operates at 21 Gbps effective, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s across a 192-bit bus. This memory configuration is sufficient for the game's data at these settings, as the frame rates remain stable rather than showing signs of VRAM capacity stalling.

The benchmark data places this GPU in the 85th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44900. Its nearest rivals provide context: the RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45152, a 0.6% delta, while the Intel Arc A730M scores 45592, a 1.5% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 is the closest competitor on the lower side, scoring 44195, which is 1.6% less. These comparisons show the RTX 4070 Ti is positioned in a tight cluster of mid-range-to-high-end performers, with no significant gap to the immediate alternatives in overall compute capability.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the system produces 56 FPS, which is the lowest measured result in the dataset. This is 40% below the 4K High result of 68.4 FPS, and 49% below the 4K Medium result of 85.4 FPS. The GPU's pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s are being heavily taxed at this resolution and quality level. The FP32 performance of 40.09 TFLOPS provides the compute for the game's shaders, but the Ultra preset's additional effects clearly overwhelm the card at 4K, pushing it below the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X provides the processing foundation for this combo. With 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz offer substantial single-thread and multi-thread capability. The CPU's 64 MB of shared L3 cache, with 1 MB L2 per core, helps keep game data close for quick access. This processor sits in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 50556.

The nearest rivals show a very tight grouping. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 scores 50598, a negligible 0.1% delta. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT scores 50738, a 0.4% delta, and the Intel Core i7-13850HX scores 50827, a 0.5% delta. The Intel Core i9-13980HX leads this group at 50944, 0.8% ahead. This indicates the 7900X is effectively at parity with its immediate competitors in synthetic benchmarks, making its in-game performance dependent on how Fivem utilizes its architecture.

In the measured results, the CPU's impact is visible at 1080p, where frame rates reach 305.9 FPS at Low settings. This high ceiling suggests the CPU can feed the GPU well beyond typical display refresh rates. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1093 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6168 indicate strong single-thread performance, which is critical for Fivem's server-side scripting and entity processing. The multi-thread scores, such as the Cinebench R23 multicore result of 43695, provide the headroom for background tasks while the game runs. The CPU's 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, supported by DDR5 dual-channel memory, ensures data flows to the GPU without becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides 12 distinct measurements across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system produces its highest frame rates: 305.9 FPS at Low, 243 FPS at Medium, 193.9 FPS at High, and 152 FPS at Ultra. The progression shows a consistent cost per preset tier, with each step up in quality removing roughly 40-50 FPS at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the GPU's increasing load. Low settings produce 201.4 FPS, Medium yields 155.5 FPS, High delivers 127.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 97.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 103.7 FPS, which is a 51% reduction. This resolution represents a sweet spot for this hardware, as even Ultra settings maintain near-100 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens. Low settings produce 109.3 FPS, Medium gives 85.4 FPS, High delivers 68.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 56 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only measurement below 60 FPS in the entire dataset. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 53.3 FPS, which is a 49% reduction. This shows that the GPU's rendering capacity is the primary limiter at 4K, as the CPU's ability to process the game world is less strained at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The data indicates that the optimal experience depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For users with 1080p displays, the High preset at 193.9 FPS provides a strong balance of visual quality and performance, as it maintains frame rates well above 144 Hz. The Ultra preset at 152 FPS is also viable for 144 Hz displays, offering the highest visual fidelity while still exceeding the refresh rate.

For 1440p displays, the Medium preset at 155.5 FPS is the recommended starting point, as it clears the 144 Hz threshold while providing better visuals than Low. The High preset at 127.5 FPS is suitable for 120 Hz displays, and Ultra at 97.7 FPS works for 90-100 Hz monitors. Users prioritizing maximum quality on a 144 Hz panel may need to accept frame rates below the refresh ceiling.

At 4K, the recommendations shift. The Low preset at 109.3 FPS is the only option that comfortably exceeds 100 FPS, making it suitable for high-refresh 4K displays. The Medium preset at 85.4 FPS is excellent for 60-75 Hz displays, providing a significant visual upgrade over Low. The High preset at 68.4 FPS is acceptable for standard 60 Hz monitors, but the Ultra preset at 56 FPS falls short of the 60 FPS target and should be avoided unless the user prioritizes visuals over smoothness. The combined data suggests that the 1440p High preset, at 127.5 FPS, offers the best overall experience, balancing strong visual quality with frame rates that exceed most display refresh rates.
