Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile delivers a compelling Fivem experience across a wide range of resolutions and settings. The measured data shows a configuration that scales predictably with graphical load, maintaining playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra while offering extremely high refresh-rate potential at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the performance characteristics, component roles, and optimal settings based strictly on the benchmark results provided.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the High settings preset, the average frame rate drops from 151 FPS at 1080p to 99 FPS at 1440p, a substantial decrease of 52 FPS. Moving further to 4K, the average falls to 55 FPS, representing a 96 FPS total drop from the 1080p baseline. This scaling behavior indicates that the rendering load increases significantly with pixel count, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions.

Examining the Low settings preset provides additional insight into the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 239 FPS average, which drops to 157 FPS at 1440p and 87 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is approximately 34%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is approximately 45%. This non-linear scaling suggests that while the GPU is certainly being stressed at higher resolutions, the CPU still has headroom to push high frame rates at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 239 FPS result.

The Medium settings preset offers the most complete data, including minimum and maximum frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the average is 189 FPS with a minimum of 160 FPS and maximum of 217 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 124 FPS with a tighter range of 106 to 143 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 69 FPS with a minimum of 59 and maximum of 79. The relatively narrow frame time distribution at each resolution suggests consistent performance without major stuttering events.

The Ultra settings preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with averages of 117 FPS at 1080p, 77 FPS at 1440p, and 43 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 43 FPS is the lowest measured value across all configurations, indicating that this preset pushes the GPU to its limits. The data strongly suggests that at 1080p, particularly with lower settings, the CPU plays a more significant role in determining frame rates, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck across all settings presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Dragon Range. It features a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a TDP of 55 watts. This mobile processor includes 64 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The processor's benchmark scores indicate strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42713 and a single-core score of 6030.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role appears to be significant at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not fully saturated. The 239 FPS result at 1080p Low demonstrates that the processor can drive very high frame rates, likely due to its high boost clock and substantial core count. The Passmark single-thread score of 3907 and multi-thread score of 51405 further support the notion that this CPU is well-suited for handling the game's simulation and networking tasks, which are often single-thread heavy in multiplayer environments.

The percentile ranking of 95 for this CPU against all tested processors indicates that it is in the top 5% of CPUs for overall benchmark performance. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P with a delta of -0.4%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D with a delta of 0.6%. These tiny deltas suggest that the 8945HX is positioned at the very top of the mobile CPU performance hierarchy, which should translate to excellent frame pacing in CPU-limited scenarios.

The data shows that at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 122 FPS (239 vs 117), which is a much larger absolute gap than at 4K, where the difference is 44 FPS (87 vs 43). This indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is able to feed the GPU enough data to utilize the lower graphical settings effectively, while at 4K, the GPU's rendering capabilities become the limiting factor regardless of CPU performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For players with a 1080p display, the High preset at 151 FPS average provides an excellent balance between visual quality and smoothness, easily exceeding the 144 Hz refresh rate threshold common on modern monitors. The Medium preset at 189 FPS is also highly viable for competitive play, offering a significant boost in frame rate with only a moderate reduction in visual fidelity.

At 1440p, the Medium preset emerges as the strongest recommendation, with an average of 124 FPS and a minimum of 106 FPS. This ensures that the frame rate rarely dips below 100 FPS, which is suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming. The High preset at 99 FPS is also acceptable for most users, though the lower minimum frame rates could introduce occasional perceptible stutter in fast-paced multiplayer action.

For 4K gaming, the data suggests that the Medium preset at 69 FPS is the best option for a smooth experience, as it maintains an average above 60 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS. The High preset at 55 FPS is marginally below the 60 FPS threshold, which may be noticeable to sensitive users. The Ultra preset at 43 FPS is not recommended for competitive play, as the frame rate is too low for responsive gameplay in a multiplayer environment.

The Low preset provides the highest frame rates at every resolution, with 239 FPS at 1080p, 157 FPS at 1440p, and 87 FPS at 4K. While this preset sacrifices visual quality, it may be preferred by esports-focused players who prioritize maximum frame rates and minimal input latency. Overall, the Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot for this configuration, offering a balanced combination of visual fidelity and performance across all three resolutions.
