Fivem

Resolution Scaling

Fivem's performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic workload shift between CPU and GPU limits. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 262 FPS average, which is the highest measured result in this dataset. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops the average to 172 FPS, a 34% reduction, and 3840x2160 at Low further reduces it to 96 FPS, another 44% decline. This steep drop-off as resolution climbs indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile becomes the primary constraint once pixel count rises, while the CPU has ample headroom at lower resolutions.

The scaling pattern at Medium settings tells a similar story. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 207 FPS average with a minimum of 176 FPS and a maximum of 238 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average falls to 136 FPS (34% lower), with minimum and maximum readings of 116 and 156 FPS respectively. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 75 FPS, with a 64 FPS minimum and 87 FPS maximum. The consistent percentage decline across both Low and Medium presets suggests that the GPU's rendering load scales predictably with resolution, and the RTX 4090 Mobile's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient to feed the AD103 chip without memory bottlenecks appearing as a separate constraint.

High settings show a similar trajectory: 165 FPS at 1080p, 109 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 60 FPS at 4K (a 45% drop from 1440p). Ultra settings produce 128 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS is the only measured value below 60 FPS, indicating that this preset pushes the GPU to its limits with the most demanding shaders and post-processing effects. The gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution widens as resolution increases: at 1080p, Low beats Ultra by 134 FPS; at 1440p, the gap is 88 FPS; at 4K, it narrows to 49 FPS. This compression at higher resolutions further confirms that the RTX 4090 Mobile's raw compute throughput — rated at 32.98 TFLOPS FP32 with a boost clock of 1695 MHz — is the dominant factor limiting FPS at 4K, whereas at 1080p the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX's single-thread performance can push frame rates much higher.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile combination ranks 826th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the pairing in roughly the top 22% of all configurations tested for this multiplayer title. The rank reflects the combined capability of the CPU and GPU, and given the substantial benchmark scores of both components, the position might seem conservative. However, Fivem's highly variable multiplayer environments — with dozens of players, custom assets, and script-heavy servers — create performance swings that can penalize even top-tier hardware.

The CPU's 95th percentile ranking among all processors suggests that the Ryzen 9 8945HX is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX (0.1% higher average score) and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (0.6% higher), indicating that the 8945HX is at the very top of the mobile CPU hierarchy. The GPU's 84th percentile ranking is lower, and its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (0.9% higher) and the Quadro M6000 variants (0.8-0.9% lower). This suggests that while the RTX 4090 Mobile is a high-end part, there are desktop-class GPUs that outperform it, which partially explains why the combo does not rank higher in Fivem.

The measured FPS data reinforces this interpretation. At 4K Ultra, the combo produces 47 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for many users. At 4K High, it hits exactly 60 FPS, and at 4K Medium, it reaches 75 FPS. These 4K results are respectable but not class-leading, and they suggest that the GPU's 16 GB memory and 576.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient, yet the raw shading compute (32.98 TFLOPS) is not enough to maintain high frame rates at maximum settings in Fivem's dense multiplayer scenes. The 1080p results, by contrast, are outstanding — 262 FPS at Low and 165 FPS at High — which indicates that the CPU's 16 cores and 32 threads are more than adequate for the game's simulation load, and the GPU can push well beyond refresh-rate limits at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance across all settings. Low settings produce 262 FPS average, the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings reduce the average to 207 FPS, with a minimum of 176 FPS and a maximum of 238 FPS. High settings yield 165 FPS average, while Ultra settings produce 128 FPS average. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a steady decline of roughly 55-60 FPS per step up in quality, with the largest single drop occurring between Low and Medium (55 FPS) and the smallest between High and Ultra (37 FPS).

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings produce 172 FPS average, which is 90 FPS lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium settings deliver 136 FPS average, with a 116 FPS minimum and 156 FPS maximum. High settings achieve 109 FPS average, and Ultra settings produce 84 FPS average. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 88 FPS, compared to 134 FPS at 1080p, demonstrating that the GPU's workload at higher resolutions compresses the performance gap between quality presets.

At 3840x2160, the results are markedly lower. Low settings produce 96 FPS average, which is still playable but represents a 63% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium settings deliver 75 FPS average, with a 64 FPS minimum and 87 FPS maximum. High settings produce exactly 60 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 47 FPS average. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured average below 60 FPS, and the 4K High result sits precisely at the 60 FPS threshold, making it marginal for smooth gameplay on a 60 Hz display. The 4K Medium result of 75 FPS is the most comfortable 4K option, providing a 15 FPS cushion above the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K Low at 96 FPS offers headroom for high-refresh-rate 4K monitors.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting 60 FPS as the minimum playable threshold, the data supports using High settings at 4K, as this preset delivers exactly 60 FPS average. However, the absence of a minimum FPS reading for 4K High means there is no guarantee against dips below 60 FPS in heavy multiplayer moments. The 4K Medium preset provides a safer margin with a 64 FPS minimum and 75 FPS average, making it the recommended choice for 4K displays where stability matters more than peak quality. The 4K Ultra preset, at 47 FPS average, is not recommended for 4K gaming, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold and will likely produce noticeable stutter in Fivem's busy servers.

At 1440p, the Medium preset delivers 136 FPS average with a 116 FPS minimum, which is an excellent combination of visual quality and performance. The High preset at 1440p produces 109 FPS average, still well above 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset at 84 FPS average remains playable. For players with 144 Hz displays, the 1440p Low preset at 172 FPS is the only option that fully saturates the refresh rate, while Medium at 136 FPS comes close. The 1440p Medium preset is the best overall recommendation for most users, as it balances the 116 FPS minimum against the 136 FPS average, ensuring smooth gameplay even during heavy script activity.

At 1080p, all settings produce frame rates above 128 FPS, making this resolution ideal for competitive play. The Low preset at 262 FPS is the best choice for maximum responsiveness, while the Medium preset at 207 FPS average (176 FPS minimum) offers a good balance for players who want some visual fidelity without sacrificing performance. The High preset at 165 FPS is also viable, and even the Ultra preset at 128 FPS remains well above the 60 FPS threshold. For esports-focused players, the 1080p Low preset is the clear winner, as it provides the highest frame rate and lowest input latency, which is critical in Fivem's multiplayer interactions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Dragon Range, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with 64 MB of L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. This configuration places it in the 95th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 76212. Its nearest rivals are within 1% in either direction, indicating that the 8945HX is at the absolute top tier of mobile processors.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical for managing the game's multiplayer simulation, including player positions, vehicle physics, and server-side scripts. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 262 FPS, which is far beyond what the GPU can render at higher resolutions. This suggests that the CPU's single-thread performance — evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6030 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3907 — is strong enough to feed the GPU at low resolutions without becoming a bottleneck. The 5.40 GHz boost clock is particularly important for Fivem, as the game's main thread often relies on single-core speed for frame pacing.

The multi-threaded performance of the 8945HX is equally impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42713 and a PassMark multithread score of 51405. While Fivem is not heavily multi-threaded in its core simulation, the 16 cores and 32 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks, Discord, streaming software, and other applications running concurrently during gameplay. The 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth from dual-channel DDR5 support ensures that the CPU can feed data to the GPU without stalling, which is important in Fivem's open-world environments where assets stream in continuously. The CPU's 67.7 GB/s PassMark data compression score of 677755 also indicates strong performance for asset decompression, which Fivem relies on when loading custom mods and maps.
