Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform for Grand Theft Auto V, and this analysis pairs the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT. The benchmark data shows a system that is heavily influenced by graphics settings, with the CPU providing a strong foundation that allows the GPU to become the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The measured FPS across four presets and three resolutions reveals a configuration that can handle competitive play at lower settings but struggles to maintain high refresh rates at maximum visual quality.

Settings Recommendations

The data suggests that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience for this combination. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 158 FPS, which is a significant 32 FPS drop from the Low preset’s 200 FPS, but it comes with an expected improvement in visual fidelity. The trade-off is more favorable here than at higher resolutions; the difference between Low and Medium at 1080p is 42 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High only costs an additional 32 FPS. This indicates that the Medium preset is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate gaming at the most common resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset produces an average of 104 FPS, which remains above the 100 FPS threshold that many gamers consider smooth. The Low preset reaches 132 FPS, but the visual compromise is likely not worth the 28 FPS gain for most users. The High preset at 1440p drops to 83 FPS, which is still playable but moves away from the high-refresh-rate territory that the CPU can support. For users with 1440p monitors, Medium appears to be the recommended choice to maintain a fluid experience without sacrificing too much graphical detail.

The Ultra preset is not recommended for this configuration. At 1080p, it produces 98 FPS, which is a substantial 60 FPS drop from the Medium preset. The performance penalty is even more pronounced at 1440p, where Ultra averages only 65 FPS, and at 4K, it falls to 36 FPS. The data shows that the Ultra preset demands more from the GPU than the RX 6750 XT can deliver, making it unsuitable for anything but slower-paced gameplay. For 4K gaming, the Low preset is the only option that provides a playable experience, with 73 FPS average, though users should be prepared for significant visual downgrades.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and the Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks at position 1318 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 44th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning that roughly 56 percent of the other combos in the database perform better. The ranking suggests that while this is not a top-tier setup for Fivem, it is far from being an underperformer, especially considering that the database includes many high-end systems with more powerful GPUs.

The CPU itself ranks in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, which indicates that the Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a very strong processor. The GPU, however, ranks in the 71st percentile of all GPUs, which is notably lower. This discrepancy in percentile rankings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in this combo’s overall rank. The CPU has the capability to push much higher frame rates, but the RX 6750 XT is holding the system back from achieving a higher position in the Fivem ranking.

When comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the data shows a tight grouping. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D has an average benchmark score of 54762, which is only 0.6 percent lower than the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF’s score of 55093. It is 1.3 percent higher than the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K’s 54053, and 2 percent higher than the Intel Xeon 6505P’s 53701. This indicates that the CPU is performing exactly as expected for its class, with no significant anomalies in its synthetic benchmark results.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture GPU with a 12 GB GDDR6 memory configuration on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its base clock is 2150 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz. The GPU has 2560 shading units and 40 ray tracing cores, which are specifications that align with its mid-range positioning. The memory size of 12 GB is adequate for Fivem, which is not particularly VRAM-hungry, but the GPU’s raw compute power is the more relevant factor.

The GPU’s benchmark scores show a mixed picture. Its PassMark G3D score is 20700, and its average benchmark score is 26011. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon R9 M395X, scores 25891, a delta of just 0.5 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile is also close, with a delta of 1.1 percent. These results indicate that the RX 6750 XT is performing within a narrow band of similar GPUs, which suggests that its drivers and hardware are functioning as expected.

The GPU’s role in Fivem is clearly visible in the measured FPS data. As settings increase from Low to Ultra, the average FPS drops consistently at every resolution. At 1080p, the drop from Low to Ultra is 102 FPS, which is a dramatic reduction. This pattern confirms that the GPU is the primary bottleneck when visual quality is increased, as the CPU is capable of delivering much higher frame rates. The 12 GB of VRAM is unlikely to be a limiting factor in Fivem, as the game does not typically require large memory allocations, but the GPU’s shading and texture processing capabilities are what determine the performance ceiling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the performance ranges from 200 FPS on Low to 98 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset averages 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 182 FPS, indicating good frame time consistency. The High preset averages 126 FPS, which is still quite smooth for most displays. The gap between Medium and High is 32 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 28 FPS, showing a somewhat linear decline as settings are increased.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS values are 132 on Low, 104 on Medium, 83 on High, and 65 on Ultra. The Medium preset’s minimum of 88 FPS and maximum of 120 FPS show a wider range than at 1080p, suggesting that the additional pixel load introduces more variability. The drop from Low to Medium is 28 FPS, and from Medium to High is 21 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 65 FPS average is noticeably below the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay, making it less viable.

At 3840x2160, the performance is significantly lower. The Low preset averages 73 FPS, the Medium preset averages 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS and a maximum of 66 FPS, and the High preset averages 46 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 36 FPS. The data shows that only the Low preset provides a consistently playable experience at 4K, and even then, it is borderline. The Medium preset’s minimum of 49 FPS indicates that there will be noticeable stutters in demanding scenes.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 200 at 1080p to 132 at 1440p and then to 73 at 4K. This represents a 34 percent drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 45 percent drop from 1440p to 4K. At Medium settings, the progression is from 158 to 104 to 58, which is a 34 percent drop and then a 44 percent drop. The scaling pattern is very similar across settings, which points to a GPU-bound scenario.

The High settings show a similar trend, with 126 FPS at 1080p, 83 FPS at 1440p, and 46 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34 percent and 45 percent, respectively. At Ultra settings, the values are 98, 65, and 36, with drops of 34 percent and 45 percent. The consistency of these drops across all four presets is a clear indicator that the resolution is the dominant factor, and the GPU is the limiting component.

This scaling behavior indicates that the Ryzen 9 9900X3D is not the bottleneck at any resolution. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see smaller differences between 1080p and 1440p, as the CPU load would be more constant. Instead, the FPS scales almost linearly with the pixel count, which is the signature of a GPU-bound workload. The 4K resolution simply requires too many pixel operations for the RX 6750 XT to handle at high settings, and even at Low settings, the 73 FPS average is a significant drop from the 200 FPS at 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It has a large 128 MB L3 cache, which is beneficial for gaming workloads that rely on data locality. Its benchmark scores are impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 47737 and a single-core score of 6739. The Geekbench multi-core score is 22884, and the single-core score is 3041.

The CPU’s performance in Fivem is not directly measured in the FPS data, but its capabilities can be inferred. The fact that the FPS scales so heavily with resolution and settings indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck. If the CPU were struggling, we would see lower FPS at 1080p with Low settings, where the GPU load is minimal. Instead, the 200 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU can handle even the most demanding frame generation scenarios.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF and the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, with average scores of 55093 and 54053, respectively. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D’s score of 54762 sits between these two, with a delta of -0.6 percent and 1.3 percent. This suggests that the CPU is performing at the expected level for its price point, and its 12-core configuration provides a solid foundation for multi-threaded workloads. In Fivem, which is not known for being heavily multi-threaded, the CPU’s strong single-thread performance is likely more relevant, and its 5.50 GHz boost clock ensures that it can keep up with the game’s logic.
