GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the primary determinant of Fivem's performance ceiling, particularly at higher resolutions. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivering 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, the GPU's memory subsystem becomes a bottleneck when resolution increases. The boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz provide the computational throughput, with 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs handling the rendering workload.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 and PassMark G3D score of 19,545 demonstrate its mid-range positioning. The data shows that in Fivem, the RTX 4060's performance is heavily influenced by settings and resolution. At 1080p Low, the GPU delivers 191.2 FPS, but this drops to 91.9 FPS at Ultra settings — a 52% reduction. This pattern indicates that Fivem's Ultra preset places significant demands on the GPU's shading and texture processing capabilities.

The RTX 4060's 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6600M by 0.6% and behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti by 0.7% in average benchmark scores. In Fivem specifically, the GPU's performance at 1440p High (77.9 FPS) and 4K High (43.8 FPS) shows a clear scaling pattern where each resolution increase costs roughly 44% of the frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals distinct scaling patterns across resolutions. From 1080p to 1440p, average FPS drops by approximately 36-38% across all settings, while the jump from 1440p to 4K costs another 44-49% of performance. This indicates that the RTX 4060's memory bandwidth and VRAM capacity are the limiting factors as resolution increases.

At Low settings, the system moves from 191.2 FPS at 1080p to 124.4 FPS at 1440p (a 35% drop) and then to 71.3 FPS at 4K (a 43% drop from 1440p). The Ultra preset shows a similar pattern: 91.9 FPS at 1080p, 60.6 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 31.1 FPS at 4K (49% drop). This consistent scaling suggests that the GPU's 128-bit memory bus and 8 GB VRAM become progressively more strained as pixel count increases.

The resolution scaling data also reveals the CPU's role. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D's strong single-thread performance (1,292 in 3DMark single-thread, 8,430 in Cinebench R23 single-core) ensures that even at 1080p Low with 191.2 FPS, the CPU doesn't become the bottleneck. The smooth scaling pattern across resolutions indicates the GPU is the primary constraint throughout.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers strong performance across all settings. Low settings produce 191.2 FPS average, Medium reaches 150.2 FPS, High hits 121.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 91.9 FPS. These numbers show that 1080p gaming is comfortable even at maximum settings, with all presets exceeding 90 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains solid but shows clear scaling. Low settings yield 124.4 FPS, Medium achieves 95.8 FPS, High delivers 77.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 60.6 FPS. The 1440p results indicate that High and Ultra presets require compromises, while Low and Medium maintain high refresh rate viability.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings produce 71.3 FPS, Medium drops to 56.0 FPS, High manages 43.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 31.1 FPS. These 4K results show that only Low settings provide a consistently smooth experience, while Ultra approaches the edge of playability.

The spread between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution: 99.3 FPS at 1080p, 63.8 FPS at 1440p, and 40.2 FPS at 4K. This indicates that the GPU's rendering overhead from higher settings compounds with the increased pixel count.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D + RTX 4060 combination ranks 1001st out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 56th percentile of all tested systems. This mid-pack ranking reflects the RTX 4060's position as a mid-range GPU paired with a high-end CPU.

The CPU's performance relative to rivals provides context for this ranking. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D's average benchmark score of 71,660 places it 0.9% ahead of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 and 1.8% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, but 1.9% behind the Intel Xeon 6517P and 2.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700KF. This CPU performance ensures that the combo's Fivem ranking is not CPU-limited.

The GPU's 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with its benchmark scores (23,181 average, 19,545 PassMark G3D), positions the RTX 4060 as the limiting component in this combo. The 1001st rank out of 1792 combos suggests that while the CPU provides excellent headroom, the GPU constrains the system to mid-tier Fivem performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data supports a clear hierarchy of settings recommendations based on target resolution and frame rate preference. For 1080p gaming, Ultra settings at 91.9 FPS provide the best visual quality while maintaining smooth performance, though players prioritizing frame rate can achieve 150.2 FPS at Medium or 191.2 FPS at Low.

At 1440p, High settings at 77.9 FPS offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, with Medium at 95.8 FPS providing a strong alternative for higher refresh rate displays. Ultra at 60.6 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, while Low at 124.4 FPS maximizes smoothness at the cost of visual quality.

For 4K, the recommendations shift dramatically. Low settings at 71.3 FPS provide the only consistently smooth experience, while Medium at 56.0 FPS is acceptable for less competitive play. High at 43.8 FPS and Ultra at 31.1 FPS are best reserved for scenarios where visual quality takes priority over frame rate.

The data suggests that the system's sweet spot is 1440p with High settings, delivering 77.9 FPS while utilizing the GPU's capabilities without exceeding its VRAM limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D provides substantial processing headroom for Fivem. With 16 cores and 32 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), the CPU operates at a base clock of 4.30 GHz and boost clock of 5.70 GHz. The 128 MB of shared L3 cache and 80 KB L1 cache per core contribute to strong performance in multi-threaded workloads.

Benchmark results confirm the CPU's capability. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 59,712 and single-core score of 8,430 indicate excellent both-threaded and single-threaded performance. The 3DMark tests show scaling from 2,549 (2 threads) to 17,184 (max threads), demonstrating effective use of all cores.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The measured FPS patterns show that even at 1080p Low with 191.2 FPS, the CPU does not bottleneck the system. The 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the 2.2% advantage over the Intel Core i7-14700KF in average benchmark score indicate that this processor is far more capable than Fivem requires, making it a future-proofing investment for other workloads.
