Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT demonstrates a clear performance hierarchy in Fivem, where the CPU’s high thread count and the GPU’s mid-range rasterization power create a system that is heavily resolution-dependent. At 1080p, the combination delivers excellent frame rates that suggest a CPU-bound scenario, while 4K results drop significantly, indicating the graphics card becomes the primary limiting factor. The data shows a 50.4 FPS average at 4K High versus a 137.1 FPS average at 1080p High, a gap that highlights how Fivem’s engine scales with pixel count.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves a 215.8 FPS average, which is a strong indicator of CPU headroom. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops the average to 144.9 FPS, a 32.8% reduction, while 3840x2160 Low yields 76.9 FPS, a further 46.9% drop. This pattern is consistent across all settings presets, with the most dramatic scaling occurring between 1440p and 4K.

For High settings, the deltas are equally pronounced: 137.1 FPS at 1080p, 92.8 FPS at 1440p, and 50.4 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the heaviest burden, with 103.4 FPS at 1080p falling to 68.9 FPS at 1440p and finally 40.2 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra represents a 61.1% performance loss, which is typical for a GPU-limited workload. The fact that 1080p Low exceeds 200 FPS while 4K Ultra barely maintains 40 FPS suggests the RX 7700 XT’s 12 GB VRAM and 192-bit memory bus are adequate for lower resolutions but become strained at higher pixel counts.

The limiting component shifts based on resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates — particularly the 215.8 FPS Low result — indicate the CPU is keeping pace, but the GPU is not fully saturated. At 4K, the performance collapse across all presets points to the GPU as the bottleneck, as the Ryzen 9 9900X’s 12 cores and 24 threads are unlikely to be the constraint at lower frame rates.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a mid-range performer in this context, with an average benchmark score of 30097 and a percentile ranking of 73 among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with a deltaPct of 0, meaning the two are statistically tied in average score, and the AMD Radeon RX 570 with a -0.2 deltaPct. This places the RX 7700 XT in a competitive tier where small performance differences are negligible.

The GPU’s memory configuration is a key factor in Fivem. With 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, the card offers 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The boost clock of 2544 MHz and game clock of 2171 MHz provide the raw compute throughput, with the card rated at 35.17 TFLOPS FP32. In practice, the 4K Ultra result of 40.2 FPS suggests the GPU is hitting its limits, as the higher resolution demands more memory bandwidth and shading power than the card can deliver. Conversely, the 1080p Low result of 215.8 FPS shows that the GPU has ample headroom when the pixel count is manageable.

The RX 7700 XT’s 96 ROPs and 216 TMUs contribute to its texture and pixel processing capabilities. The card’s 54 ray accelerators are relevant for newer titles, but Fivem’s measured results do not indicate a heavy reliance on ray tracing. Instead, the data shows a rasterization-centric workload where the GPU’s raw fill rate and memory bandwidth are the dominant factors. The 4K High result of 50.4 FPS versus the 4K Medium result of 64.2 FPS demonstrates that even modest settings changes can yield significant gains when the GPU is stressed.
