# Fivem Performance Analysis: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers strong frame rates across all tested resolutions in Fivem. The data shows a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the 1080p Low configuration reaching 261.5 FPS average, while the 4K Ultra configuration drops to 45.1 FPS. This combination ranks 477th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the upper quartile of all systems. The CPU, a 12-core Zen 5 part with a 5.60 GHz boost clock, and the GPU, an Ada Lovelace architecture card with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, work together to provide a balanced experience that leans more on the graphics card as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that becomes progressively GPU-limited at higher resolutions. At 1080p High settings, the combination produces 162.4 FPS average, which drops to 104.4 FPS at 1440p High — a reduction of 58 FPS or approximately 36%. Moving to 4K High, the average falls to 61 FPS, representing another 43.4 FPS decline from 1440p. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 is the primary constraint at 4K, while the Ryzen 9 9900X has ample headroom at lower resolutions.

The settings sensitivity increases dramatically with resolution. At 1080p, the spread between Low and Ultra is 132.2 FPS (261.5 versus 129.3), while at 1440p that spread narrows to 85.3 FPS (168.5 versus 83.2). At 4K, the spread compresses further to 51.2 FPS (96.3 versus 45.1). This compression at higher resolutions is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario — the graphics card can only render so many pixels regardless of quality settings, so the relative impact of each setting tier diminishes.

Looking at the percentage drops from 1080p to 4K across settings: Low goes from 261.5 to 96.3 FPS (a 63% reduction), Medium from 204.4 to 74.9 FPS (63% reduction), High from 162.4 to 61 FPS (62% reduction), and Ultra from 129.3 to 45.1 FPS (65% reduction). The consistency of these percentages — all falling between 62% and 65% — suggests that resolution scaling is uniform regardless of quality preset. This uniformity points to pure pixel-throughput limitation at 4K rather than any memory bandwidth or cache-related bottlenecks.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, built on the 5 nm Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, provides the rendering muscle for this combination. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Fivem's demands across all tested configurations. The card's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1920 MHz drive 5888 shading units, with 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores available for compute tasks.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its position. It achieves a Passmark G3D score of 26927 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 168006, placing it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 37283 puts it within 2.5% of the AMD Radeon RX 5300M (36371) and 0.6% of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507). These close rival deltas suggest that the RTX 4070 sits in a competitive performance band, though Fivem's actual frame rates indicate the card handles this specific title well.

The 4K Ultra result of 45.1 FPS shows the GPU's limits when pushed to maximum settings at the highest resolution. The 4K Medium result of 74.9 FPS and 4K Low result of 96.3 FPS demonstrate that the card can maintain playable frame rates at 4K if settings are adjusted. At 1440p, the RTX 4070 shows more comfortable headroom: Ultra produces 83.2 FPS and High reaches 104.4 FPS, both well above the 60 FPS threshold. The 1080p results, ranging from 129.3 FPS at Ultra to 261.5 FPS at Low, confirm that this GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, a 12-core, 24-thread processor from the Zen 5 Granite Ridge architecture, provides substantial compute capacity for Fivem. Its base clock of 4.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz, combined with a 64 MB shared L3 cache, deliver strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The CPU's benchmark results include a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 46438 and a single-core score of 6555, along with a Geekbench multi-core score of 19827 and single-core score of 3341.

The CPU's percentile ranking against all processors stands at 94, with an average benchmark score of 54450. Its nearest rivals show very tight competition: the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D scores 54681 (0.4% higher), the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 54097 (0.7% lower), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K scores 55304 (1.5% higher). This clustering indicates that the 9900X is well-positioned among contemporary desktop processors, though Fivem's frame rates at 1080p suggest the CPU handles the game's simulation and networking demands without strain.

At 1080p Low, the system achieves 261.5 FPS, which represents the CPU's ability to feed the GPU with enough frames in less demanding scenarios. The 1440p Low result of 168.5 FPS and 4K Low result of 96.3 FPS show how the CPU maintains high throughput even as resolution increases, with the GPU taking over as the primary limiter. The Passmark multi-thread score of 54643 and single-thread score of 4672 indicate balanced performance that suits Fivem's mixed workload of physics, scripting, and player interactions in multiplayer environments.

FAQ

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

A: The data shows 1440p High settings produce 104.4 FPS average, which balances visual quality with smooth gameplay. At 4K High, the average drops to 61 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less margin for frame time spikes in multiplayer scenarios.
