CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a 12-core, 24-thread processor from the 9000 series, built on the Zen 5 architecture with the Granite Ridge codename. Its base clock of 4.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz place it among the fastest desktop CPUs available, and the benchmark results confirm its strength: it scores 4,646 in Passmark single-thread and 56,154 in Passmark multithread, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 47,737. This processor sits in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of alternatives.

The CPU's large 128 MB L3 cache is particularly relevant for a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification platform that often involves complex scripting and large amounts of player-generated content. The benchmark data shows the CPU handles this workload with ease, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p where the CPU is typically the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 305 FPS average, and at 1080p High it still maintains 193 FPS, demonstrating that the Ryzen 9 9900X3D provides ample headroom for the GPU to operate at maximum capacity.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 9 9900X3D's average benchmark score of 54,762 is essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF, which scores 55,093 (a -0.6% delta), and it is slightly ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K at 54,053 (a 1.3% advantage). The data indicates the Ryzen 9 9900X3D also leads the Intel Xeon 6505P by 2% and the Intel Core i7-14700F by 2.1%. These close margins suggest that while the CPU is not the absolute fastest in synthetic tests, its combination of high clock speeds, 12 cores, and large cache is more than sufficient for Fivem's demands.

The single-thread performance is particularly strong, with a Geekbench single-core score of 3,041 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 1,269. This matters because Fivem, like many multiplayer games, often has a primary game thread that benefits from high single-core performance. The CPU's 24 threads also handle the background tasks and server communication inherent in multiplayer environments without causing frame dips. The Passmark physics score of 5,340 further supports its capability in game physics calculations. All these factors combine to explain why the measured FPS does not drop dramatically when moving from 1080p Low (305 FPS) to 1080p High (193 FPS) — the CPU is not the limiting factor in this pairing.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, specifically the AD104 chip, and features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 2310 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, and it has 7,680 shading units alongside 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores. The GPU's benchmark performance places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with a Passmark G3D score of 31,624 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,024.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor for Fivem, as the platform can load extensive custom assets, textures, and mods. The measured FPS at 4K resolution demonstrates the GPU's capability: at 4K Medium, the combo achieves 88 FPS average with a minimum of 75 FPS and a maximum of 101 FPS, while at 4K High it manages 70 FPS. These results indicate that the 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient to feed the GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 performance without creating a bottleneck at higher resolutions.

The GPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals shows a tight grouping. The RTX 4070 Ti's average benchmark score of 44,795 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45,152, a -0.8% delta) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45,384, a -1.3% delta). It also edges out the NVIDIA RTX A6000 by 1.6% while trailing the Intel Arc A730M by 1.7%. This suggests the RTX 4070 Ti is a solid mid-to-high-range performer, and in Fivem specifically, it translates to excellent frame rates even at 4K.

At 1440p, the GPU excels: 1440p High produces 127 FPS, 1440p Medium hits 159 FPS, and 1440p Low reaches 201 FPS. The scaling from 4K to 1440p shows the GPU's headroom — moving from 4K Ultra (55 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (98 FPS) nearly doubles the frame rate. The RTX 4070 Ti's 80 ROPs and 240 TMUs handle the pixel and texture throughput efficiently, and the 12 GB VRAM proves adequate even at 4K Ultra settings, where the average FPS of 55 remains playable. The data confirms the GPU is the more significant performance limiter compared to the CPU, particularly at 4K, but it still delivers a strong experience across all tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive picture of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1080p, the system delivers exceptional frame rates: Low produces 305 FPS, Medium produces 241 FPS with a minimum of 205 and maximum of 277, High produces 193 FPS, and Ultra produces 150 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of driving high-refresh-rate monitors well beyond 144 Hz, with even the most demanding Ultra settings maintaining a 150 FPS average.

Moving to 1440p, the performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling. Low delivers 201 FPS, Medium delivers 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 and maximum of 182, High delivers 127 FPS, and Ultra delivers 98 FPS. The 1440p Medium result is particularly notable — the minimum of 135 FPS ensures a smooth experience on 144 Hz monitors, while the maximum of 182 FPS shows the system's headroom. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by approximately 30-35% across all settings, which is consistent with the increased pixel count.

At 4K, the system still delivers playable results. Medium settings produce 88 FPS average with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 101, High produces 70 FPS, Low produces 112 FPS, and Ultra produces 55 FPS. The 4K Low result of 112 FPS is impressive, showing that the system can exceed 100 FPS at 4K when settings are reduced. However, the 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS is the only measurement that falls below 60 FPS, indicating that this is the most demanding configuration tested. The data shows a clear pattern: the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases, from a 155 FPS difference at 1080p to a 57 FPS difference at 4K.

The minimum and maximum values for Medium settings at each resolution provide insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p, the range from 205 to 277 FPS (a 72 FPS spread) shows some variance but remains well above playable thresholds. At 1440p, the range narrows to 135 to 182 FPS (a 47 FPS spread), and at 4K, it narrows further to 75 to 101 FPS (a 26 FPS spread). This suggests that at higher resolutions, the system is more consistent, likely because the GPU becomes the limiting factor and the frame rate is more stable. The lack of minimum and maximum data for other settings prevents a full comparison, but the Medium results indicate that the system maintains smooth performance throughout.
