Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of resolution scaling that identifies the GPU as the performance limiter in this combo. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, average FPS drops from 164 to 108, a 34% reduction. Further scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings brings FPS down to 60, another 44% reduction. This consistent degradation across resolution steps indicates that the rendering load is being handled by the GPU, with the CPU maintaining sufficient headroom to feed frames.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 260 FPS at 1080p drops to 171 FPS at 1440p (34% reduction) and then to 95 FPS at 4K (44% reduction from 1440p). The percentage drops are nearly identical to those seen at High settings, suggesting that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the determining factors. The RTX 4070's 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 192-bit bus width become increasingly stressed as pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

The Medium settings data provides additional insight through minimum and maximum FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the range is 175-236 FPS around a 205 average. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 115-156 FPS around a 135 average. At 4K Medium, the range tightens further to 64-86 FPS around a 75 average. This tightening of the FPS range at higher resolutions suggests that frame time variance decreases as the GPU becomes fully utilized, with less CPU-side variability influencing the results.

Ultra settings show the most severe scaling, with 128 FPS at 1080p dropping to 84 FPS at 1440p (34% reduction) and then to 47 FPS at 4K (44% reduction). The 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered smooth, indicating that Ultra settings at 4K are not viable for this combo. The consistent 34% and 44% reductions across all settings tiers strongly point to the GPU as the limiting component, as CPU-bound scenarios would show less resolution sensitivity.

Its 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores provide substantial compute capability, rated at 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 performance.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution and settings increase. The RTX 4070's 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's asset loading at all tested settings, as no VRAM-related stuttering or performance anomalies appear in the measured data. The 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth supports the texture streaming and draw call processing that Fivem's open-world multiplayer environment demands, particularly in densely populated areas with many player models and vehicles.

The GPU's benchmark results show moderate performance relative to its peers. Its Passmark G3D score of 26927 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 demonstrate competent DirectX 12 performance. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 154858 and Vulkan score of 174152 indicate strong compute capabilities that may benefit Fivem's script processing. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above average but not in the top tier, which explains the resolution scaling behavior observed in the measured FPS data.

The RTX 4070's nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, +0.1% delta), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, +0.4%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, -1.3%), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37157, +1.3%).

The GPU's 200 W TDP and suggested 550 W PSU requirement make it a manageable addition to most systems, while its dual-slot design and 240 mm length allow for broad case compatibility. The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provides sufficient bandwidth, and the display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a) support modern monitor configurations. The GPU's production status is end-of-life, with the GeForce 50 series as its successor, but its performance in Fivem remains competitive.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combo in Fivem provides a comprehensive view of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its highest frame rates: 260 FPS on Low settings, 205 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236), 164 FPS on High, and 128 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that 1080p gaming is exceptionally smooth across all settings, with even Ultra settings maintaining well above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows expected scaling: 171 FPS on Low, 135 FPS on Medium (minimum 115, maximum 156), 108 FPS on High, and 84 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results demonstrate that this combo can drive high-refresh-rate monitors (120Hz+) at Medium and Low settings, while High and Ultra settings remain comfortably above 60 FPS for standard displays.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals the GPU's limitations: 95 FPS on Low, 75 FPS on Medium (minimum 64, maximum 86), 60 FPS on High, and 47 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show that Medium settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance, with 75 FPS average and a minimum of 64 FPS ensuring mostly smooth gameplay. High settings at 4K achieve exactly 60 FPS average, which is playable but may experience dips in demanding scenes. Ultra settings at 4K fall below 60 FPS, making them less desirable for competitive or fast-paced gameplay.

The Medium settings data across all resolutions provides the most complete picture of performance consistency. At 1080p, the 175-236 FPS range shows some variance but remains well within smooth territory. At 1440p, the 115-156 FPS range tightens, and at 4K, the 64-86 FPS range shows the least variance. This pattern suggests that as the GPU becomes more fully utilized at higher resolutions, frame times become more consistent, reducing the likelihood of noticeable stutter or hitches.

The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows consistent performance scaling. At 1080p, the step from Low (260 FPS) to Medium (205 FPS) represents a 21% drop, Medium to High (164 FPS) a 20% drop, and High to Ultra (128 FPS) a 22% drop. At 1440p, the drops are 21%, 20%, and 22% respectively. At 4K, the drops are 21%, 20%, and 22% as well. This uniform scaling across resolutions indicates that each settings tier adds a consistent rendering load, with no single setting causing disproportionate performance impact.
