Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is strictly dictated by resolution. At 1920x1080, the combination is remarkably fluid, with the Low preset hitting an average of 175 FPS and the Medium preset maintaining 138 FPS. The High preset still achieves a very playable 111 FPS, while Ultra drops to 86 FPS. This 1080p data indicates a system that is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate monitors, as even the most demanding preset at this resolution remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale predictably but reveal a growing burden on the graphics card. The Low preset average falls to 116 FPS, which is a 34% reduction from its 1080p counterpart. Medium follows suit at 91 FPS, and High yields 73 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, takes a significant hit, dropping to 57 FPS. The trend here is clear: the performance gap between presets widens as resolution increases, suggesting that the RTX 2070 SUPER is beginning to struggle with the pixel throughput required at 1440p, particularly when visual fidelity is maximized.

At 3840x2160, the system transitions from capable to constrained. The Low preset manages an average of 64 FPS, which is the only setting that clears the 60 FPS bar. Medium produces 51 FPS, High drops to 40 FPS, and Ultra falls to a stutter-prone 31 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is severe; for instance, the High preset loses 45% of its average frame rate. This pattern demonstrates that the RTX 2070 SUPER becomes the definitive bottleneck at 4K, as the raw compute and memory bandwidth are insufficient to maintain fluid motion under heavy load. The data suggests that 4K gaming with this combo is only viable on the lowest settings, and even then, the margin above 60 FPS is thin.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the central component in determining Fivem's visual ceiling. This Turing-architecture GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its core clocks are rated at 1605 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost, which are modest figures by modern standards but sufficient for a game like Fivem when paired with a capable CPU. The GPU's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the rendering workload, and the data shows that its performance is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming at most presets.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor at higher resolutions. Fivem, being a multiplayer modification platform, often loads large textures and detailed environments. At 4K with Ultra settings, the frame rate collapses to 31 FPS, which is likely a symptom of both VRAM capacity limits and raw compute exhaustion. The benchmark results show a clear correlation between resolution and GPU stress: the 4K Low preset (64 FPS) is the only configuration that avoids major frame pacing issues, while 4K Ultra (31 FPS) is nearly unplayable. This indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB frame buffer is insufficient for high-fidelity 4K textures, forcing the renderer to swap data and causing significant slowdowns.

The GPU's position in the broader market is reflected in its percentile ranking of 65, meaning it outperforms 65% of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 20282 places it in the same tier as the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, which is 1% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which is 1.2% faster. The close proximity of these scores indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is a competent mid-range performer but lacks the headroom needed for 4K gaming. In Fivem specifically, the measured data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, as the CPU's high core count cannot compensate for the GPU's inability to push pixels efficiently.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D provides a formidable foundation for this combo, but its influence on Fivem's frame rates is secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions. This 12-core, 24-thread processor is built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) and operates at a base clock of 4.40 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. Its substantial 128 MB L3 cache is particularly beneficial for gaming workloads, as it reduces memory latency and improves data throughput. The CPU's benchmark scores are impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 47737 and a single-core score of 6739, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most pronounced at 1080p, where the GPU is less stressed. The jump from Low (175 FPS) to Medium (138 FPS) and High (111 FPS) shows that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough frames to maintain high rates, but the rendering pipeline becomes the bottleneck as settings increase. At 4K, the CPU's advantage is masked by the GPU's limitations; the frame rates at 4K Low (64 FPS) versus 4K Ultra (31 FPS) are entirely governed by GPU load. This is typical for a game like Fivem, which is more sensitive to single-thread performance than multi-core scaling, though the 9900X3D's high single-thread score of 1269 in 3DMark ensures it does not hold back the system.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF scores 55093, which is 0.6% higher than the 9900X3D's average score of 54762, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K is 1.3% lower. The Intel Xeon 6505P and Core i7-14700F are 2% and 2.1% lower, respectively. This tight grouping suggests that the 9900X3D is at the top of the mid-range desktop segment, and its 12-core configuration is more than sufficient for Fivem's demands. The data shows that the CPU is never the limiting factor in this combo, as even the most demanding GPU-bound scenarios at 4K do not show signs of CPU starvation.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER holds the rank of 1693 out of 3005 combos. This places it in the 56th percentile of all tested systems, indicating a mid-pack standing. The ranking reflects the imbalance between the high-end CPU and the mid-range GPU; the CPU is capable of supporting much faster graphics cards, but the RTX 2070 SUPER limits the overall gaming experience, especially at higher resolutions.

The rank is primarily dragged down by the GPU's performance ceiling. In Fivem, the combo's measured FPS at 1080p High (111 FPS) is respectable, but at 4K Ultra (31 FPS) it falls below the playable threshold, which likely hurts its standing relative to combos with more balanced or higher-end GPUs. The data suggests that this rank would improve significantly if the GPU were upgraded, as the CPU's 91st percentile performance shows it has ample headroom. Conversely, the combo's rank is higher than it would be with a weaker CPU, as the 9900X3D's strong single-thread performance ensures that lower-resolution frame rates remain competitive.

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide further context. The GPU's closest competitor, the Intel Arc B570, is only 1.3% faster, but a combo with that card might achieve a similar rank. The CPU's rivals, such as the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF, are within 1% in average score, meaning that swapping the CPU would not drastically alter the combo's position. Overall, the rank of 1693 out of 3005 reflects a system that is capable of smooth 1080p and 1440p gaming but falls short of high-fidelity 4K, making it a middle-of-the-road option for Fivem players.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 138 FPS and a minimum of 118 FPS. This ensures smooth gameplay even in crowded multiplayer scenarios, where frame drops are common. The High preset at 111 FPS is also viable, but the 27 FPS drop from Medium is not justified by the modest visual gains, given the game's fast-paced nature.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again proves to be the sweet spot, delivering 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, ensuring a consistent experience. The High preset at 73 FPS is playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes, while the Ultra preset at 57 FPS dips below the 60 FPS target and should be avoided. For players prioritizing frame rate, the Low preset at 116 FPS is an option, but the visual compromise is substantial.

For 3840x2160, the data is clear: only the Low preset is recommended, as it achieves an average of 64 FPS. The Medium preset at 51 FPS is borderline, but the risk of drops below 45 FPS makes it less desirable. The High and Ultra presets at 40 FPS and 31 FPS, respectively, are not recommended for competitive play, as they fail to maintain smooth motion. In summary, Medium settings at 1080p and 1440p provide the best experience, while 4K requires Low settings for acceptable performance.
