Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 pairing delivers a highly capable Fivem experience, with performance scaling predictably across resolutions and presets. The data shows a system that excels at high refresh rates at 1080p and remains comfortably playable at 1440p, though 4K Ultra demands more than this GPU can consistently provide. The measured results indicate a balanced combo where the CPU provides ample headroom, allowing the GPU to be the primary determinant of frame rates as resolution increases.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Fivem?

A: The data shows 2560x1440 is the sweet spot. At High settings, the combo delivers 87.8 FPS, which is a significant step up from the 50.7 FPS at 3840x2160, while still offering a substantial visual upgrade over 1920x1080.

Q: How does the Ryzen 9 9900X compare to its nearest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X has an average benchmark score of 54450. It is effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, which scores 54681, a delta of -0.4%. It is also 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700F, which scores 54097.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra presets at 1080p?

A: The measured data shows a substantial gap. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 217.1 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 108.1 FPS. This represents a performance reduction of over 50% when moving from the lowest to the highest settings.

Q: Is the RTX 3070's 8 GB VRAM a limiting factor in Fivem?

A: The benchmark results do not directly quantify VRAM usage, but they show that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 36.8. This suggests that at higher resolutions with demanding settings, the GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth are likely contributing to the performance ceiling.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 810th out of 1792 tested combinations. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all tested systems, indicating solid but not top-tier performance for this specific game.

Q: What is the FPS difference between 1080p and 4K at High settings?

A: At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 136.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 50.7 FPS at 3840x2160. This is a decrease of 85.5 FPS, or roughly 63%, when moving to the higher resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting high refresh rates, the 1920x1080 High preset is the optimal choice, delivering 136.2 FPS. This provides a fluid experience while retaining visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 1080p offers a significant boost to 169.6 FPS for those prioritizing competitive play, but the jump from High to Low (217.1 FPS) is less practical for most users due to the visual trade-offs.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended balance, achieving 87.8 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and offers a crisper image than 1080p. The Medium preset at this resolution reaches 113.8 FPS, which is a viable alternative for users with high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors who prefer higher frame rates over maximum detail. The Ultra preset at 1440p, at 68.2 FPS, is playable but begins to show the GPU's strain.

For 4K, the data suggests sticking to the Medium preset, which yields 59.6 FPS. This is the only 4K setting that approaches a consistent 60 FPS. The High preset at 4K drops to 50.7 FPS, and while playable, it is less ideal for fast-paced multiplayer. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 36.8 FPS, is not recommended for a smooth experience. The measured data indicates that the Low preset at 4K, at 77.8 FPS, is the only way to achieve high frame rates at this resolution, but it significantly compromises visual quality.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear trend of GPU dependency. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 136.2 at 1920x1080 to 87.8 at 2560x1440, a drop of 35.5%. Moving further to 3840x2160, the FPS falls to 50.7, a 42.3% decrease from the 1440p figure. This consistent and significant decline with each resolution step indicates that the RTX 3070 is the primary bottleneck in this configuration.

This pattern is consistent across all presets. For example, at Low settings, FPS drops from 217.1 at 1080p to 140.8 at 1440p (a 35.1% reduction) and then to 77.8 at 4K (a 44.7% reduction from 1440p). The scaling factor is nearly identical regardless of the preset, which strongly suggests that the limiting component is the GPU's rendering throughput and memory bandwidth, rather than the CPU. The Ryzen 9 9900X, with its high single-thread and multi-thread scores, is not the constraint here.

The data implies that the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU at all tested resolutions. The frame rate is dictated almost entirely by the pixel count and the associated fill-rate demands placed on the RTX 3070. This is a classic sign of a balanced pairing at lower resolutions, where the CPU is the limit, transitioning to a GPU-bound scenario as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 810 out of 1792 tested combinations places it in the 45th percentile of all systems tested for Fivem. This is a mid-pack result, indicating that while this configuration is competent, many other combinations of CPUs and GPUs achieve higher average frame rates in this specific title. The ranking suggests that the RTX 3070, while a solid performer, is not a top-tier card for this game when paired with a high-end CPU like the Ryzen 9 9900X.

This ranking is somewhat surprising given the strength of the CPU. The Ryzen 9 9900X sits in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54450. However, the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's relative position. The RTX 3070 is in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 28238. The pairing of a very strong CPU with a mid-to-high-tier GPU results in a system that is capable but not at the very top of the performance charts for this game.

The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo's ranking. The Ryzen 9 9900X's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, show negligible performance deltas in synthetic benchmarks. The ranking is therefore more indicative of the RTX 3070's standing relative to other GPUs in the database. For users seeking a higher combo rank, the data implies that upgrading the GPU would yield a more significant improvement than upgrading the CPU.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is the decisive component in this configuration's gaming performance. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key factor in the GPU's ability to handle the texture and geometry data at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's performance degrades significantly as resolution increases, which is consistent with its memory subsystem and processing power being pushed to their limits.

The GPU's clock speeds are a base of 1500 MHz and a boost of 1725 MHz. These clocks, combined with its 5888 shading units, allow for a peak FP32 performance of 20.31 TFLOPS. This raw compute power is evident in the benchmark results, where the GPU scores 22214 in Passmark's G3D test and 3162 in 3DMark's Steel Nomad DX12 test. The GPU's performance in these synthetic tests aligns with its measured FPS in Fivem, where it provides strong results at 1080p and 1440p but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 72 places it above the majority of other graphics cards. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, has an average score of 27985, which is only 0.9% lower. This indicates that the RTX 3070 is at the top of its performance class. However, its 8 GB VRAM capacity is a potential limitation for future titles or for running Fivem at maximum settings with high-resolution texture packs. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 36.8, suggesting that the GPU is heavily taxed. The GPU's role in this combo is to provide strong 1080p and 1440p performance, but it is the component that ultimately caps the system's capabilities at 4K.
