Fivem

This analysis examines the performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB in Fivem. The data presents a clear picture of a system where the graphics card is the primary bottleneck, especially at higher resolutions and settings. The following sections break down the measured FPS across different configurations, contextualize the results against other tested combos, and interpret the roles of the CPU and GPU based on the available specifications.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep performance drop as resolution increases, which is a classic indicator of GPU limitation. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 113 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low preset, the average falls to 74 FPS, a reduction of 39 FPS. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average plummets to 41 FPS. This scaling pattern demonstrates that the rendering load is heavily taxing the GPU, with the pixel count increase from 1080p to 4K more than halving the frame rate.

The trend is consistent across all settings presets. For instance, on the High preset, the average FPS drops from 71 at 1080p to 47 at 1440p, and further down to 26 at 4K. This consistent decline, regardless of the quality preset, strongly suggests that the limiting component is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB, rather than the CPU. The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, with its high core count and boost clock, is not the constraint in this scenario. The data indicates that the GPU's processing power and memory bandwidth are saturated as the resolution increases, making it the definitive bottleneck for this configuration in Fivem.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database for Fivem, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB holds a rank of 3252 out of 3707 tested combos. This places the system in the lower 13th percentile of all configurations evaluated for this game. The ranking is a direct consequence of the GPU's performance ceiling. While the CPU is a high-end component, its potential is not fully utilized in this pairing, resulting in a combo that performs well below what the processor alone might suggest.

The data shows that the average FPS numbers are consistently low, particularly at higher resolutions. For example, the best average FPS of 113 is only achievable at 1080p with the lowest settings. At more demanding configurations, such as 1440p High or 4K Medium, the average FPS falls into the 26-58 range. These figures are the primary driver for the combo's low ranking. The system's performance is dictated by the RTX 3050's ability to render frames, and the CPU's significant processing power does not compensate for this limitation in Fivem. The rank serves as a quantitative measure of the system's overall capability in this specific title, indicating that most other tested combinations deliver a smoother experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete view of the system's performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo shows its best results. On Low settings, it achieves an average of 113 FPS. The Medium preset yields an average of 89 FPS, with a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 102 FPS. High settings produce an average of 71 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to an average of 55 FPS. This resolution offers the only playable frame rates for a smooth experience, with the Low preset being the only configuration to exceed 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance decreases substantially. The Low preset averages 74 FPS, which is the only setting at this resolution to break the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 58 FPS, with a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 67 FPS. The High preset drops to an average of 47 FPS, and Ultra settings further reduce the average to 36 FPS. At 1440p, users would need to compromise on visual quality to maintain a playable frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain acceptable performance. The Low preset is the only one to reach an average above 40 FPS, achieving 41 FPS. Medium settings average 32 FPS, with a minimum of 28 and a maximum of 37 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 26 FPS, and the Ultra preset bottoms out at an average of 20 FPS. The data clearly shows that 4K resolution is not a viable option for this combo, as all presets produce average frame rates below the standard 60 FPS target, and even the highest preset fails to reach 30 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB plays the decisive role in this combo's performance. Equipped with 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, the GPU has a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a significant limiting factor, especially at higher resolutions where the demand for video memory increases. The 4 GB capacity is likely insufficient for the texture and geometry data required at 1440p and 4K, contributing to the lower average FPS observed at those resolutions.

The GPU's core specifications also influence the results. With a base clock of 1545 MHz and a boost clock of 1740 MHz, the RTX 3050 has a fixed performance ceiling. Its 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs are responsible for pixel processing, and the data suggests they are saturated under load. The GPU's 7.127 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is modest for modern standards, which explains why it becomes the bottleneck in a system with a high-end CPU. The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary constraint, as the frame rates scale directly with the rendering resolution and settings, rather than being limited by CPU processing power.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For a 60 FPS target, the only viable option is 1920x1080 with the Low preset, which delivers an average of 113 FPS. This provides a significant buffer above the target and ensures a smooth experience. At the same resolution, the Medium preset also provides a playable experience with an average of 89 FPS, though it may dip to 75 FPS in demanding scenes. This preset offers a better visual quality while still maintaining a frame rate well above 60 FPS.

For users who prioritize visual fidelity, the High preset at 1920x1080 is a reasonable choice, with an average of 71 FPS. However, the Ultra preset at this resolution drops to an average of 55 FPS, which may result in noticeable stuttering or a less fluid experience. At 2560x1440, the data suggests that only the Low preset, with an average of 74 FPS, is suitable for a 60 FPS target. The Medium preset at 1440p, with an average of 58 FPS, is a borderline option, but it may not maintain a consistent frame rate. The data indicates that 3840x2160 is not recommended for this combo, as even the Low preset fails to reach 45 FPS, making it unsuitable for a smooth gaming experience. The most balanced experience is offered by the Medium preset at 1080p, which provides a solid average of 89 FPS and a minimum of 75 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is a high-performance processor that is not the limiting factor in this configuration. With 12 cores and 24 threads, it offers substantial multi-threaded processing power, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 32172 and Geekbench multicore score of 22174. Its boost clock of 5.60 GHz provides strong single-threaded performance, reflected in its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2253 and Passmark single-thread score of 4672. These specifications are far in excess of what the RTX 3050 can feed in Fivem.

The CPU's role in this game is to handle game logic, physics, and AI, and its performance is more than adequate. The benchmark results show that the CPU is not the bottleneck, as the frame rates do not improve when the resolution is lowered; instead, they increase, indicating that the GPU is the limiting component. The 64 MB of L3 cache and DDR5 memory support further ensure that the CPU can deliver data to the GPU without causing a stall. In this pairing, the Ryzen 9 9900X is effectively underutilized, as its powerful processing capabilities are constrained by the GPU's lower performance ceiling. The data indicates that a less powerful CPU could achieve similar frame rates with this GPU, making the Ryzen 9 9900X a component that offers headroom for future GPU upgrades but provides no additional FPS in this specific configuration.
