Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a high-refresh-rate experience in Fivem, with performance scaling predictably across resolutions and presets. The data shows a system capable of pushing well beyond 100 FPS at 1440p and 4K, though the Ultra preset demands significant compromises. This analysis breaks down the measured results, settings behavior, and component roles based solely on the provided benchmark data.

Settings Recommendations

For this combination, the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 4K, High yields an average of 77 FPS, which is a substantial 28% improvement over Ultra’s 60 FPS average, while maintaining visual fidelity that is only one step below maximum. The jump from High to Ultra costs 17 FPS at 4K (from 77 to 60), a 22% performance penalty that may not justify the marginal visual gains in a multiplayer title where fluidity often trumps absolute detail.

At 1440p, the Medium preset emerges as the sweet spot for competitive play. The 173 FPS average with a minimum of 147 FPS and maximum of 199 FPS provides a consistent experience that stays above most high-refresh monitors’ thresholds. While High delivers 138 FPS, the Medium preset’s tighter frame pacing, indicated by the recorded min/max range, suggests a more stable experience for fast-paced scenarios. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 107 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 38% reduction from Medium.

For 1080p, the High preset at 210 FPS is the recommended choice for most users, as it balances visual quality with performance that exceeds all but the most extreme refresh rates. The Low preset at 333 FPS is statistically impressive but offers diminishing returns beyond 240Hz displays. The Medium preset at 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS is the best option for those with 240Hz monitors, as it guarantees the frame rate never dips below the refresh rate, ensuring tear-free gameplay with V-sync enabled.

The data indicates that the Low preset is only advisable for 4K gaming (122 FPS) when players prioritize frame rate above all else, or for competitive 1080p play at 333 FPS. However, the visual compromises at Low are substantial, and the High preset’s 210 FPS at 1080p already exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. The Ultra preset should be reserved for 1080p (163 FPS) where it remains fluid, or for screenshot purposes, as its 4K performance of 60 FPS is exactly at the threshold where frame drops become noticeable in multiplayer environments.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Fivem’s large open-world environments and dense player interactions. The memory clock runs at 1400 MHz with 22.4 Gbps effective speed, and the GPU’s base clock of 2205 MHz boosts to 2505 MHz under load. These specifications translate into measurable performance differences across the resolution spectrum.

At 4K, the RTX 4080’s role becomes increasingly pronounced. The jump from Low (122 FPS) to Medium (96 FPS) costs 26 FPS, while the leap from Medium to High (77 FPS) costs another 19 FPS. This scaling pattern suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as each preset tier demands more shading units (9728 total) and texture mapping units (304) to process the increased pixel count. The Ultra preset’s 60 FPS average represents the GPU hitting its practical ceiling for this title at 4K, with the 16 GB VRAM buffer being sufficient but the raw compute power limiting maximum settings.

At 1440p, the RTX 4080 demonstrates more headroom. The 219 FPS Low result shows the GPU’s peak capability, while the 107 FPS Ultra result reflects the performance cost of fully utilizing its 112 ROPs and 76 ray tracing cores. The medium preset’s 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS indicates that the GPU maintains consistent frame delivery when not fully saturated. The 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 761.5 GTexel/s texture rate are adequate for this resolution, but the data suggests diminishing returns beyond Medium settings.

The 1080p results reveal that the RTX 4080 is rarely the limiting factor. The 333 FPS Low result and 263 FPS Medium result show the GPU operating well within its capabilities, with the 210 FPS High result still leaving performance on the table. The Ultra preset’s 163 FPS at 1080p demonstrates that even maximum settings cannot fully stress this GPU at this resolution, indicating that CPU limitations or game engine constraints begin to surface. The GPU’s 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its proximity to the RTX 4080 SUPER (0.1% difference) confirm that this is a top-tier graphics solution, but Fivem’s engine appears to cap its utilization at 1080p.

The 220th position out of 3,707 indicates that while many configurations can run Fivem well, this specific pairing excels at maintaining high frame rates across all resolution tiers.

Compared to its component-level rivals, the combo’s ranking is slightly better than the GPU’s 86th percentile would suggest, indicating that the CPU’s 91st percentile performance helps boost the overall experience. The RTX 4080’s synthetic benchmark scores are nearly identical to the RTX 4080 SUPER (0.1% difference), yet the measured FPS data shows no scenario where this combo underperforms expectations. The ranking demonstrates that this system is a well-balanced choice for Fivem, with neither component acting as a significant bottleneck.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X contributes significantly to Fivem’s performance, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU has headroom. With 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, the CPU’s 4.70 GHz base clock and 5.60 GHz boost clock provide strong single-thread performance that is critical for Fivem’s server-side simulation and entity management. The 64 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core help maintain low latency in complex multiplayer scenarios with many nearby players.

The CPU’s benchmark scores reveal its strengths: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29,300 and single-core score of 2,016.5, alongside a Geekbench multi-core score of 19,267 and single-core score of 2,617. These results place it in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with its average benchmark score of 53,288 nearly matching the AMD EPYC 7313P (53,206, 0.2% difference) and exceeding the Intel Core i7-14700F (53,620, -0.6% difference). This level of performance ensures the CPU can feed the RTX 4080 adequately, even at 1080p where frame rates exceed 300 FPS.

At 1080p, the CPU’s role becomes more apparent. The jump from 333 FPS (Low) to 263 FPS (Medium) and then to 210 FPS (High) shows that while the GPU handles the visual workload, the CPU must maintain game logic and draw calls at increasingly high rates. The fact that 1080p Ultra still achieves 163 FPS indicates the CPU can sustain over 160 frames per second of game logic, which is a demanding requirement. The Ryzen 9 7900X’s 24 threads allow it to distribute the multi-threaded workload of Fivem’s server communication and client-side simulation across multiple cores, preventing single-core bottlenecks that would limit frame rates.

At 4K, the CPU’s influence diminishes as the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The consistent 22% performance penalty from High to Ultra across all resolutions suggests the CPU is not creating scaling disparities. The 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and DDR5 support ensure the CPU can quickly access the data needed for Fivem’s dynamic world, while the 5 nm TSMC process node and 170W TDP represent a power-efficient design that sustains boost clocks during extended gaming sessions. The CPU’s 3DMark scores, particularly the 12,536 max-thread score and 10,972 16-thread score, indicate robust multi-threading that matches Fivem’s parallel workload patterns.
