Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X pairs a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 5 configuration with a 4.40 GHz base clock and a 5.60 GHz boost clock, built on a 4 nm TSMC process. For a multiplayer title like Fivem, the data indicates that this CPU provides substantial headroom, with a passmark single-thread score of 4672 and a geekbench singlecore score of 3341, ensuring that the simulation and physics workloads typical of such environments do not bottleneck the frame pipeline. The processor’s 64 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory interface with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth further support the high object counts and streaming demands common in populated servers. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 46438 and 3dmark_max_threads score of 13929 demonstrate that even when multiple background tasks or heavy script loads are present, the 12 physical cores provide ample parallel throughput. The 9900X sits in the 94th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54450, positioning it slightly behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, which scores 54681, a delta of -0.4%. It is also marginally ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700F, which averages 54097, a 0.7% delta, and trails the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF, which score 55304 and 55421 respectively, reflecting deltas of -1.5% and -1.8%. In Fivem, where frame pacing can be erratic due to network and server-side factors, the CPU’s high single-core performance is critical; the data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combination achieves 367 FPS on average, indicating that the processor is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions. The 9900X’s boost behavior up to 5.60 GHz allows it to react quickly to sudden load spikes, which is essential in a multiplayer context where player actions and vehicle physics are computed in real time. The benchmark results suggest that the CPU’s 12 cores are more than sufficient for Fivem’s typical thread usage, leaving headroom for streaming, voice chat, and other concurrent applications without degrading frame rates. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 12552 and the cinebench_r20_multicore score of 19503 reinforce that the processor can sustain high throughput over extended sessions, which is relevant for long play sessions in persistent multiplayer worlds.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, brings 24 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. Its boost clock of 2520 MHz and base clock of 2235 MHz drive a massive 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is reflected in its passmark_g3d score of 38194 and geekbench_opencl score of 317684. In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes dominant at higher resolutions and settings, as the measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern. At 3840x2160, the average frame rate drops from 133.8 FPS on Low to 85.2 FPS on High and further to 65 FPS on Ultra, demonstrating that the 4090, while extremely powerful, is still exercised by the game’s rendering demands at 4K. The 24 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant for Fivem, as the game often loads high-resolution textures and custom assets from modded servers; the 1.01 TB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming does not cause hitches. The GPU’s percentile rank of 91 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 66473, places it near the NVIDIA Tesla T4, which scores 66733 (a -0.4% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56, which scores 67097 (a -0.9% delta). The 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 score of 9223 and the passmark_directx_12 score of 150 indicate strong performance in modern APIs, which Fivem can leverage for efficient draw calls. At 2560x1440, the GPU delivers 244.7 FPS on Low, 152.7 FPS on High, and 117.2 FPS on Ultra, showing that even at this resolution, the 4090 provides fluid performance across all settings. The 1920x1080 results are even more revealing: 367 FPS on Low, 290.3 FPS on Medium, 233.6 FPS on High, and 178.1 FPS on Ultra, suggesting that at 1080p the CPU becomes more involved in reaching these high frame rates, but the GPU still has the raw throughput to avoid capping. The RTX 4090’s 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores, while not directly benchmarked in Fivem, support the game’s optional graphical enhancements, and the 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate ensures that even complex scenes with many on-screen elements are rasterized efficiently.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the optimal settings for this combination across three resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 178.1 FPS on average, which is well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors, while High yields 233.6 FPS and Medium reaches 290.3 FPS. For players targeting the smoothest possible experience on a 144Hz or 240Hz display, the Low preset at 367 FPS is excessive, but the Medium preset at 290.3 FPS offers a balance between visual fidelity and frame rate headroom, ensuring that any dips in multiplayer scenarios remain imperceptible. At 2560x1440, the High preset produces 152.7 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors, while Medium at 192.4 FPS provides even more margin, and Ultra at 117.2 FPS remains playable but closer to the 60-120 FPS range. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot at 1440p, as it maintains a comfortable lead over the 120 FPS mark while offering better visual quality than Medium. At 3840x2160, the situation changes: Ultra drops to 65 FPS, which is below the 70 FPS threshold that many consider smooth for fast-paced multiplayer, while High at 85.2 FPS is more acceptable. Medium at 107.7 FPS is the recommended choice for 4K, as it stays above 100 FPS and provides a visually rich experience without the performance cost of Ultra. The Low preset at 4K yields 133.8 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play but sacrifices too much visual detail for a game that often emphasizes environment immersion. Overall, the benchmark results indicate that the best experience per the measured rows is achieved by selecting Medium at 3840x2160, High at 2560x1440, and Medium at 1920x1080, as these settings deliver frame rates that comfortably exceed the refresh rates of typical displays while maintaining significant graphical quality. The 4090’s 24 GB VRAM ensures that even the High and Ultra presets at 4K do not cause memory-related stuttering, but the raw compute demand of Ultra at 4K reduces the average FPS to 65, which is the only preset across all resolutions that falls below the 100 FPS mark.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 achieves a combo rank of 27 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the top 1.5% of all systems evaluated. This rank reflects the synergy between a top-tier CPU and GPU, where the 9900X’s strong single-thread performance complements the 4090’s massive rendering throughput. The data shows that this combo is not the absolute fastest, as there are 26 other configurations that outperform it, but it sits in an elite tier. The CPU’s percentile of 94 and the GPU’s percentile of 91 both indicate that each component is near the top of its respective category, and their combination yields a system that can handle Fivem’s most demanding scenarios, such as dense urban areas with many players. The rank of 27 suggests that while the 4090 provides exceptional frame rates at all resolutions, the CPU’s slightly lower average benchmark score compared to rivals like the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K (which has a 1.5% higher score) may account for the few positions lost in the overall ranking. However, in practice, the measured FPS data shows that this combo exceeds 100 FPS at 1440p on Ultra and 1440p on High, demonstrating that the ranking does not translate to any perceptible weakness in gameplay. The fact that the 9900X trails the 9900X3D by only 0.4% in average score suggests that the non-3D variant is nearly as capable for this game, which is likely not heavily dependent on the additional cache that the X3D model provides. With 1792 tested combos, the top 27 position indicates that this system is in the 98.5th percentile of all configurations, and the benchmark results confirm that it offers a high degree of future-proofing for a game that is continuously updated with new content and mods.
