# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional frame rates in Fivem, with the data showing a system that scales predictably across resolutions and settings while maintaining remarkably high performance even at 4K Ultra. The measured results place this combo at rank 21 out of 3005 tested combinations, indicating top-tier performance in this multiplayer title, though the scaling pattern reveals interesting insights about where the bottleneck shifts as resolution and settings change.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K follows a clear pattern that highlights the relationship between resolution and GPU load. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 372 at 1920x1080 to 265 at 2560x1440, a reduction of approximately 29%, and then further to 147 at 3840x2160, which represents a 44% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep decline at 4K with Low settings indicates that even a powerful GPU like the RTX 5090 D faces significant pixel-pushing demands at that resolution, though the absolute numbers remain extremely high.

The Medium settings row provides the most complete data set with min and max FPS values, allowing for a more nuanced analysis. At 1080p Medium, the average is 317 FPS with a minimum of 270 and maximum of 365. Moving to 1440p Medium drops the average to 209 FPS (a 34% reduction), with minimum and maximum values of 178 and 240 respectively. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 116 FPS, with the range compressing to 99-133. The consistent reduction of roughly 34-45% at each resolution step suggests that the GPU is becoming progressively more saturated as pixel count increases.

High settings show a similar trend: 254 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 93 FPS at 4K (44% drop from 1440p). Ultra settings follow the same pattern with 197, 130, and 72 FPS across the three resolutions. The fact that the percentage drops between 1440p and 4K are consistently larger than those between 1080p and 1440p indicates that the 4K resolution creates a disproportionately heavy load, likely due to the massive increase in pixel count that the RTX 5090 D must process.

Interestingly, the scaling between settings at each resolution is not uniform. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces FPS by 15%, Medium to High by 20%, and High to Ultra by 22%. This suggests that each quality tier adds a similar incremental load at this resolution. At 4K, the jumps are larger in percentage terms: Low to Medium is 21%, Medium to High is 20%, and High to Ultra is 23%, showing that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution regardless of the setting level.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show a similar clustering. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76,904 on average, which is 1.1% lower than the RTX 5090 D's 77,712 average. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78,940, outperforming the 5090 D by 1.6%, while the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB and 16 GB variants score 79,396 and 79,605 respectively, representing 2.1% and 2.4% advantages. This narrow spread around the 5090 D's average score suggests that in synthetic benchmarks, the gap between these high-end GPUs is minimal, though Fivem's specific rendering demands may favor the 5090 D's architecture.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X brings 12 cores and 24 threads to this configuration, built on the Zen 4 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz provide substantial single-threaded capability, which is crucial for a game like Fivem that relies heavily on CPU performance for multiplayer server communication and game logic. The 64 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, while the dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures the CPU can feed data to the GPU without bottlenecks.

The CPU's benchmark results reveal its character: the 3dmark_16_threads score of 10,972 and max_threads score of 12,536 show strong multi-threaded performance, while the single-thread score of 1,093 indicates excellent single-core capability. This balance is ideal for Fivem, which typically benefits from high single-thread performance for the main game loop while utilizing additional threads for background tasks. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29,300 and single-core score of 2,016.5 confirm this pattern, with the multicore result being roughly 14.5 times the single-core figure, showing good scaling across the 12 cores.

The Geekbench scores of 19,267 multicore and 2,617 single-core place the 7900X in a strong position relative to other CPUs, and the PassMark single-thread score of 4,238 further emphasizes its single-threaded prowess. In the context of Fivem, where the measured frame rates at 1080p reach 372 FPS on Low settings, the CPU's ability to maintain high instruction throughput is clearly evident. The fact that the 7900X's average benchmark score of 53,288 sits within 0.6% of several rival CPUs suggests that it is not dramatically ahead in raw compute, yet the Fivem results show that its architecture and clock speeds translate effectively into real-world gaming performance.

The 170 W TDP and AMD Socket AM5 platform with PCIe Gen 5 support provide a modern foundation, and the integrated Radeon Graphics offer a fallback display output, though in this configuration the discrete RTX 5090 D handles all rendering. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking across all CPUs further validates its position as a high-end processor that can keep up with the demands of a top-tier GPU in gaming scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

Examining the measured FPS across all settings and resolutions, the data suggests that the optimal experience depends heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, even Ultra settings produce 197 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors, while Low settings reach 372 FPS, making this resolution essentially GPU-bound at all quality levels. For competitive play where maximum frame rates matter, Low settings at 1080p deliver the highest possible performance, but the diminishing returns from Medium (317 FPS) and High (254 FPS) suggest that players can enjoy substantial visual improvements without sacrificing playability.

At 1440p, the Medium preset provides an average of 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS, which is sufficient for high-refresh-rate displays while offering better visual fidelity than Low. High settings at 1440p still deliver 167 FPS, and even Ultra maintains 130 FPS, so players with 144Hz monitors can comfortably use High or Ultra settings at this resolution. The 4K resolution presents more challenging trade-offs, with Ultra dropping to 72 FPS and High at 93 FPS. For 60Hz displays, Ultra settings at 4K remain viable, but for higher refresh rates, Medium at 116 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance.

The Medium settings row provides the only complete min/max data across all resolutions, showing that the frame time consistency is solid: at 1080p the range is 270-365 (95 FPS spread), at 1440p it is 178-240 (62 FPS spread), and at 4K it is 99-133 (34 FPS spread). This tightening of the frame time distribution as resolution increases indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor, reducing the variance caused by CPU-side fluctuations. For the smoothest experience, Medium settings at 1440p appear to offer an excellent balance, with the minimum of 178 FPS ensuring that even demanding multiplayer scenarios remain fluid.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for this configuration spans three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive picture of performance. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 372 FPS, Medium reaches 317 FPS with a range of 270-365, High drops to 254 FPS, and Ultra produces 197 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is rarely constrained by the GPU, and the CPU's 12 cores and high boost clock of 5.60 GHz are sufficient to maintain extremely high frame rates even with the RTX 5090 D's massive rendering throughput.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 265 FPS, Medium averages 209 FPS with a range of 178-240, High achieves 167 FPS, and Ultra settles at 130 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by approximately 29-34% across all settings, which is consistent with the 78% increase in pixel count that 1440p represents over 1080p. The fact that the performance drop is less than the pixel count increase suggests that the system is not purely pixel-bound at this resolution, with some headroom remaining in the GPU's fill rate and compute capabilities.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset produces 147 FPS, Medium averages 116 FPS with a range of 99-133, High reaches 93 FPS, and Ultra drops to 72 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K represents a 2.25x increase in pixel count, and the performance drop of roughly 44-45% across all settings reflects this heavier load. The RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provides ample memory bandwidth for 4K textures, and the 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute ensures that even the most demanding settings remain playable at this resolution.
