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

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a broad performance envelope in Fivem, ranging from 290 FPS at 1080p Low to 52 FPS at 4K Ultra. This combination ranks 606th out of 3707 tested combos in the database, placing it in the top 16.4% of all configurations for this title. The data reveals a system that is heavily CPU-limited at lower resolutions and progressively GPU-bound as resolution increases, with the measured FPS deltas between settings presets growing larger at 4K compared to 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K exposes a dramatic shift in the bottleneck characteristics of this system. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 290 FPS, but at 4K Low the average drops to 106 FPS — a 63.4% reduction. This steep decline suggests that at 1080p, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X with its 12 cores and 24 threads is capable of feeding frames far faster than the RTX 4070 SUPER can render them, even at the lowest settings. The 4K Low result of 106 FPS indicates the GPU is now the primary limiter, though the frame rate remains comfortably playable.

For the High preset, the scaling pattern is similar but with a less severe absolute drop. At 1080p High, the system achieves 183 FPS, while 1440p High yields 120 FPS, and 4K High falls to 67 FPS. The percentage drop from 1440p to 4K is 44.2%, compared to a 34.4% drop from 1080p to 1440p. This nonlinear scaling points to the GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth becoming increasingly taxed as pixel count grows, particularly at higher quality settings where texture and shader complexity increase.

The Medium preset provides the only complete min/max data in the measured set, offering insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the average is 229 FPS with a minimum of 194 FPS and maximum of 263 FPS — a 69 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 151 FPS with a 128-173 FPS range, and at 4K Medium the average falls to 84 FPS with a 71-96 FPS range. The relative spread (max-min as a percentage of average) actually narrows from 30.1% at 1080p to 29.8% at 4K, suggesting that frame pacing remains stable even as the GPU load increases significantly.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic resolution sensitivity. The 1080p Ultra result of 142 FPS drops to 93 FPS at 1440p and 52 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra figure of 52 FPS is the lowest measured value in the entire dataset, indicating that this preset at maximum resolution pushes the RTX 4070 SUPER to its practical limit in Fivem. The data suggests that the limiting component shifts from the CPU at 1080p to the GPU at 4K, with the crossover point occurring somewhere between 1440p and 4K depending on the quality preset.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate achievable with this combo, and at what settings?

A: The highest measured average is 290 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The next highest is 229 FPS at the same resolution with Medium settings, followed by 191 FPS at 2560x1440 Low.

Q: Can this system maintain 60 FPS at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but only at Low and Medium settings. The 4K Low preset averages 106 FPS, and 4K Medium averages 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 FPS. At 4K High the average drops to 67 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it falls to 52 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings?

A: At Low settings, the drop is from 290 to 191 FPS, a 34.1% reduction. At Medium, it goes from 229 to 151 FPS (34.1% lower), at High from 183 to 120 FPS (34.4% lower), and at Ultra from 142 to 93 FPS (34.5% lower). The consistency of this ~34% penalty across presets suggests resolution scaling is uniform regardless of quality level.

Q: What is the frame time consistency like at Medium settings?

A: The Medium preset is the only one with min/max data. At 1080p, the range is 194-263 FPS around a 229 average. At 1440p, it is 128-173 FPS around 151. At 4K, it is 71-96 FPS around 84. The consistency, measured as spread relative to average, remains roughly stable across resolutions.

Q: How does this combo rank relative to all tested configurations?

A: The combo holds rank 606 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the upper 16.4% of all systems in the database. This indicates strong overall performance, though the rank reflects the combined CPU-GPU pairing rather than individual component scores.

Q: Which resolution provides the best balance of frame rate and visual quality based on the data?

A: At 1440p High, the system delivers 120 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold while offering substantially more detail than Low settings. For those prioritizing maximum smoothness, 1080p High at 183 FPS is the better choice, while 1440p Ultra at 93 FPS remains viable for visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset delivers the optimal experience at each resolution. At 1080p, all four presets exceed 140 FPS, making the choice purely about visual preference. The Ultra preset at 142 FPS is the most demanding option but still provides a high refresh rate experience, while High at 183 FPS offers a meaningful 28.9% improvement over Ultra with only a modest reduction in visual fidelity. For competitive play, Low at 290 FPS is the clear choice, but the jump from Low to Medium (229 FPS) costs only 21.0% performance while providing substantially better image quality.

At 1440p, the data supports High as the default recommendation. The 120 FPS average at High settings comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS baseline, and the 29.0% increase from High to Ultra (93 FPS) may not justify the additional visual load for most users. Medium at 151 FPS is a strong alternative for those who prioritize frame rate over fidelity, offering 25.8% more performance than High. Low at 191 FPS is the competitive option, but the visual compromise is significant.

At 4K, the choices are constrained by the GPU's capabilities. Ultra at 52 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold and is not recommended for smooth gameplay. High at 67 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. Medium at 84 FPS with a 71 FPS minimum is the safest choice for consistent performance, while Low at 106 FPS provides the smoothest experience. The data suggests Medium is the sweet spot at 4K, balancing the 84 FPS average against the 71 FPS minimum that ensures frame drops remain above playable territory.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset demonstrates the best consistency based on the available min/max data, with the relative frame spread remaining stable from 1080p to 4K. This consistency, combined with the moderate performance cost relative to Low, makes Medium the most predictable choice for users who cannot tolerate frame rate fluctuations.

The combination of AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves rank 606 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 83.6th percentile of all configurations. This ranking reflects the combined influence of both components, and the data shows that the CPU's strength at lower resolutions contributes significantly to the overall position. The Ryzen 9 9900X holds a 92nd percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, while the RTX 4070 SUPER sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. The combo rank of 606/3707 is consistent with these individual standings, suggesting the pairing is well balanced for this title.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution. The AMD EPYC 9015 scores 0.1% lower on average, the AMD EPYC 7313 scores 0.2% higher, the Intel Core i9-14900 scores 1.1% higher, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M scores 1.4% higher. These tight margins indicate the Ryzen 9 9900X is positioned at the top tier of CPU performance, with no single rival offering a substantial advantage in synthetic benchmarks. The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern: the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 0.1% lower, the RTX 5050 Mobile scores 0.1% lower, the Quadro M6000 scores 0.2% lower, and the RTX 4090 Mobile scores 1.0% lower. This clustering means the RTX 4070 SUPER's rank is not determined by a wide gap to competitors but rather by the cumulative effect of many small deltas.

The in-game rank of 606 suggests that Fivem rewards the combination of strong single-thread performance and capable rasterization. The measured FPS values at 1080p, particularly the 290 FPS Low result, indicate the CPU's 5.60 GHz boost clock and Zen 5 architecture are well suited to the game's multi-player workloads. The 4K results, while lower, still place the combo well ahead of the median tested system, confirming that the RTX 4070 SUPER provides sufficient headroom for high-resolution play even if it cannot max out every setting.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X brings 12 cores and 24 threads to Fivem, operating at a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The CPU's architecture is Zen 5, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 16,630 million transistors across a dual-die design. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a 64 MB L3 cache, which provides ample capacity for the game's frequently accessed data. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s over dual-channel DDR5 further supports high frame rate scenarios.

The benchmark data reveals the CPU's strengths. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1286 and multi-thread score of 13929 indicate strong performance across both lightly and heavily threaded workloads. The Geekbench single-core score of 3010 and multi-core score of 22174 corroborate this, while Cinebench R23 results of 2253 single-core and 32172 multi-core show consistent scaling. The PassMark single-thread score of 4672 and multi-thread score of 54643 place the CPU in the top 8% of all processors based on its 92nd percentile ranking.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p. The jump from Low (290 FPS) to Ultra (142 FPS) at this resolution represents a 51.0% reduction in performance, but even the Ultra result is high enough to suggest the CPU is not the primary constraint. The fact that 1080p Low achieves 290 FPS while 1440p Low drops to 191 FPS (34.1% lower) indicates that the CPU can generate frames faster than the GPU can render them at 1080p, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases. The CPU's 5.60 GHz boost clock and 12 cores are likely sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 SUPER at all but the most extreme frame rates, and the measured results confirm that the system is not CPU-bound at 1440p or 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 290 FPS average, Medium produces 229 FPS with a minimum of 194 and maximum of 263, High produces 183 FPS, and Ultra produces 142 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline, with each preset tier costing between 17.9% (Low to Medium) and 22.4% (High to Ultra) of performance.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a clear step down from 1080p. Low averages 191 FPS, Medium averages 151 FPS with a 128-173 range, High averages 120 FPS, and Ultra averages 93 FPS. The percentage differences between presets are similar to 1080p, with Low to Medium costing 20.9%, Medium to High costing 20.5%, and High to Ultra costing 22.5%.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. Low averages 106 FPS, Medium averages 84 FPS with a 71-96 range, High averages 67 FPS, and Ultra averages 52 FPS. The relative cost of each preset tier increases at 4K: Low to Medium costs 20.8%, Medium to High costs 20.2%, and High to Ultra costs 22.4%. The 4K Ultra result of 52 FPS is the only measured value below 60 FPS, highlighting the GPU's limitations at maximum settings and resolution.

The Medium preset provides the only min/max data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the 194-263 FPS range around a 229 average represents a spread of 30.1% relative to the mean. At 1440p, the 128-173 FPS range around 151 represents a 29.8% spread. At 4K, the 71-96 FPS range around 84 represents a 29.8% spread. This consistency suggests that the game's frame pacing is stable regardless of resolution, with no evidence of stuttering or severe frame drops at any tested configuration.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with an AD104 chip on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The GPU contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, with 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1313 MHz with a 21 Gbps effective speed over a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and it includes 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores.

The GPU's benchmark results place it at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 29995 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 172795. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627 and Vulkan score of 205624 indicate strong modern API performance. The GPU's nearest rivals in the database are all within 1.0% of its average score, showing that the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in a tightly contested performance tier.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution rises. At 1080p, the GPU is clearly not the bottleneck, as evidenced by the 290 FPS Low result and the relatively small performance gap between presets. At 1440p, the GPU begins to assert its influence, with the 93 FPS Ultra result suggesting the card is working harder to maintain frame rates. At 4K, the GPU is the definitive limiter, with all presets showing significant reductions from their 1440p counterparts.

The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory is sufficient for Fivem at all tested settings, as the game does not appear to exceed this capacity based on the measured frame rates. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 4K rendering, though the 192-bit bus width may contribute to the performance drop at Ultra settings. The GPU's 2475 MHz boost clock provides substantial compute throughput, but the data suggests that the 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is not enough to maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra in this title, likely due to the game's draw call and shading complexity at maximum quality.
