Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform for a 2017 title, and the measured results for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 show a system that behaves very differently depending on the resolution and quality preset selected. The data reveals a 12-core, 24-thread processor with a 4.40 GHz base clock and 5.50 GHz boost clock, while the graphics card offers 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus and a boost clock of 2460 MHz. The combination ranks 1579 out of 3005 tested combos in this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is curious given the CPU’s strong multi-threaded benchmark scores. The FPS figures range from a low of 34 at 4K Ultra to a high of 189 at 1080p Low, and the differences between settings at each resolution suggest that the RTX 4060 is the primary constraint in most scenarios, although the pattern shifts at lower resolutions where the CPU’s capabilities become more relevant.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process and 18,900 million transistors. Its base clock is 1830 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 2460 MHz, which are the only clock figures available in the data. The GPU has 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output pipelines, along with 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 236.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 15.11 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role is most apparent when examining the FPS deltas between settings at each resolution. At 4K, the difference between Low (69 FPS) and Ultra (34 FPS) is 35 FPS, which is a 51% drop in performance. At 1440p, Low produces 124 FPS while Ultra produces 61 FPS, a 63 FPS difference or 51% reduction. At 1080p, Low yields 189 FPS and Ultra yields 92 FPS, a 97 FPS difference or 51% reduction. This consistent 51% penalty from Low to Ultra across all resolutions indicates that the GPU’s rendering workload scales predictably with settings, and the RTX 4060’s 8 GB memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely the limiting factors at higher presets.

The GPU’s benchmark scores place it at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon HD 7790, scores 17666, which is 0.2% higher, while the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% lower. These near-identical scores suggest that the RTX 4060’s raw compute performance is comparable to these older or integrated parts, but its modern features and driver support may explain why it still achieves playable frame rates in Fivem. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo only manages 34 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered smooth, indicating that the GPU is overwhelmed at that setting.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience depends on the target resolution and whether the user prioritizes frame rate or visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset offers 149 FPS average with a minimum of 127 FPS and maximum of 171 FPS, which provides a smooth and consistent experience while retaining some visual quality. The High preset at 1080p drops to 119 FPS, still playable, but the 30 FPS difference between Medium and High suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for high refresh rate monitors. Low at 1080p achieves 189 FPS, but the visual trade-off may not be worth the extra 40 FPS over Medium.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers 98 FPS average with a minimum of 83 FPS and maximum of 113 FPS, which is the only preset at this resolution with recorded minimum and maximum values. The High preset produces 78 FPS, while Low produces 124 FPS and Ultra produces 61 FPS. Medium at 1440p appears to be the most balanced choice, as it stays above 60 FPS consistently and offers better visuals than Low. The Low preset at 1440p at 124 FPS is also viable for competitive play, but the user must accept lower quality settings.

At 3840x2160, none of the presets reach 60 FPS on average. Low produces 69 FPS, Medium produces 54 FPS, High produces 44 FPS, and Ultra produces 34 FPS. The Low preset is the only one that exceeds 60 FPS, but the visual compromise is substantial. Medium at 4K offers 54 FPS, which may be acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the minimum of 46 FPS suggests occasional frame drops. For the best overall experience, Medium at 1080p or 1440p provides the highest frame rates with recorded minimums above 80 FPS, making it the recommended preset for most users.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings, providing a comprehensive view of performance. At 1920x1080, the average FPS values are 189 for Low, 149 for Medium, 119 for High, and 92 for Ultra. The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data, showing a minimum of 127 FPS and maximum of 171 FPS. This indicates that the frame delivery is relatively stable, with a 44 FPS spread between the minimum and maximum. The other presets lack min/max data, so only averages are available for comparison.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS values are 124 for Low, 98 for Medium, 78 for High, and 61 for Ultra. The Medium preset again provides the only min/max data, with a minimum of 83 FPS and maximum of 113 FPS, a spread of 30 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is 26 FPS, from Medium to High is 20 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 17 FPS. This shows a decreasing marginal cost of higher settings as the resolution increases, which is consistent with the GPU becoming more of a bottleneck.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS values are 69 for Low, 54 for Medium, 44 for High, and 34 for Ultra. The Medium preset has a minimum of 46 FPS and maximum of 63 FPS, a spread of 17 FPS. The differences between settings are 15 FPS from Low to Medium, 10 FPS from Medium to High, and 10 FPS from High to Ultra. The smaller gaps at 4K suggest that the GPU is already saturated, and increasing settings has a diminishing impact on frame rate because the render resolution is the dominant factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1579 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, which places it in the 52nd percentile of the database. This rank is noteworthy because the Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a high-end CPU with a 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the RTX 4060 sits at the 61st percentile among GPUs. The combination of a top-tier CPU with a mid-range GPU results in a system that is not among the top performers in this game, likely because Fivem’s multiplayer nature can be CPU-intensive but also relies heavily on GPU rendering.

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 54762, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF, scores 55093, a delta of -0.6%. This means the 9900X3D is slightly slower than that rival in synthetic benchmarks, yet the CPU still ranks in the 91st percentile overall. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 17639, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon HD 7790, scores 17666, a delta of -0.2%. The RTX 4060 is essentially tied with several older GPUs in raw benchmark terms, which explains why the combo rank is not higher despite the CPU’s strength.

The rank of 1579 out of 3005 implies that many other combinations achieve higher frame rates in Fivem. Given that the CPU is far more powerful than the GPU, the rank is likely dragged down by the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 189 FPS, which is competitive, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 34 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for most users. The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where the CPU can push high frame rates and the GPU can keep up.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a 12-core, 24-thread processor from the 9000 series, based on the Zen 5 architecture with a 4 nm process. Its base clock is 4.40 GHz, and it boosts to 5.50 GHz, with a TDP of 120 W. The CPU has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 128 MB of L3 cache, which is a significant amount for gaming workloads. It supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 interface.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is less stressed. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 189 FPS, which suggests that the CPU is capable of driving frame rates well above 144 Hz. At 1080p Ultra, the FPS drops to 92, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as the rendering load increases. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 47737 and a single-core score of 6739, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF, which has an average score of 55093, and the Intel Core i7-14700F, which scores 53620. The 9900X3D’s score of 54762 is 2.1% higher than the i7-14700F and 0.6% lower than the 245KF. These small deltas suggest that the CPU’s performance is in line with other high-end desktop processors, and its 128 MB L3 cache provides an advantage in cache-sensitive workloads. However, in Fivem, the measured FPS at 1080p Low (189) versus 1440p Low (124) shows a 65 FPS drop, which is a 34% reduction, indicating that the CPU is not the sole bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, and the pattern reveals which component is the limiting factor at each resolution. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 189 at 1080p to 124 at 1440p to 69 at 4K. This is a 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is a significant scaling penalty. At Medium settings, the FPS goes from 149 at 1080p to 98 at 1440p to 54 at 4K, a 64% reduction. At High settings, the FPS goes from 119 at 1080p to 78 at 1440p to 44 at 4K, a 63% reduction. At Ultra settings, the FPS goes from 92 at 1080p to 61 at 1440p to 34 at 4K, a 63% reduction.

The consistent ~63-65% drop from 1080p to 4K across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the rendering resolution scales with the number of pixels. The 1080p to 4K pixel count is 4 times higher, so a perfectly GPU-bound scenario would show a 75% FPS drop. The observed drop is less than that, which means the CPU is still contributing some overhead at 1080p, but the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as resolution increases. The fact that the drop is similar across all settings (63-65%) suggests that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and fill rate are the primary constraints, rather than the settings themselves.

The 1440p to 4K drop is also telling. At Low settings, 1440p produces 124 FPS and 4K produces 69 FPS, a 44% drop. At Medium, 98 FPS drops to 54 FPS, a 45% drop. At High, 78 FPS drops to 44 FPS, a 44% drop. At Ultra, 61 FPS drops to 34 FPS, a 44% drop. This consistent 44% reduction across all settings further confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with frames, and at 1080p Low, the CPU can supply 189 FPS, but the GPU cannot maintain that rate at 4K, resulting in the observed scaling. This data suggests that users seeking higher resolutions should lower settings to maintain playable frame rates, as the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K Ultra in Fivem.
