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

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread processor from the Zen 5 Granite Ridge architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM5 platform. Its base clock of 4.30 GHz and boost clock of 5.70 GHz position it as a high-frequency part, while the 128 MB shared L3 cache provides substantial data capacity for workloads that benefit from large on-die memory. The chip’s 4 nm process node and 16,630 million transistors underscore its modern design, with a 170 W TDP indicating significant power delivery requirements. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a single-thread score of 1292 in 3dmark and 8430 in Cinebench R23 single-core, while multi-threaded results reach 17184 in 3dmark max-threads and 59712 in Cinebench R23 multicore. These figures place the processor in the 96th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 71660.

For Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform, the CPU’s role is critical because the game engine often relies heavily on single-thread performance for physics and simulation, while also benefiting from additional cores for streaming assets and managing multiple player connections. The measured FPS data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 328.7 FPS average, indicating that the CPU is capable of very high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is substantial — from 328.7 FPS down to 161.6 FPS — which suggests that the CPU’s strong single-thread performance (849 in Cinebench R15 single-core, 3401 in Geekbench single-core) enables high frame rates even at lower graphical loads. The 16 cores and 32 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks and multiplayer server communication, though the game’s reliance on single-thread speed is evident from the fact that even at 4K Low, the combo achieves 121.1 FPS, demonstrating the CPU’s ability to maintain playable performance across resolutions.

# Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 263.7 FPS, which is only 65 FPS below Low but 57.1 FPS above High and 102.1 FPS above Ultra. At 2560x1440, Medium produces 172.7 FPS, a 42.9 FPS improvement over High (138.6 FPS) and a 66.2 FPS improvement over Ultra (106.5 FPS), while remaining 42.9 FPS below Low’s 215.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, Medium sustains 92.8 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, and it is 19.8 FPS faster than High’s 73 FPS and 30.7 FPS faster than Ultra’s 62.1 FPS. Low at 4K reaches 121.1 FPS, but the visual degradation may not be worth the extra 28.3 FPS over Medium. Ultra settings, while visually demanding, drop below 60 FPS at 4K (62.1 FPS), making them unsuitable for high-refresh-rate displays at that resolution. For competitive play, Low at 1080p (328.7 FPS) or 1440p (215.6 FPS) provides the highest frame rates, but for most users, Medium offers the strongest combination of fluidity and fidelity, especially at 1440p where 172.7 FPS exceeds the refresh rates of most monitors.

# Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals a classic pattern of GPU bottlenecking at higher resolutions, while the CPU remains capable at lower ones. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops by approximately 35-38% across all settings: Low falls from 328.7 to 215.6 (a 113.1 FPS decrease), Medium from 263.7 to 172.7 (a 91 FPS decrease), High from 206.7 to 138.6 (a 68.1 FPS decrease), and Ultra from 161.6 to 106.5 (a 55.1 FPS decrease). This consistent percentage drop indicates that the GPU begins to become the limiting factor as pixel count increases, but the CPU still provides enough headroom to push frame rates well above 100 FPS at 1440p. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the drops become more severe: Low falls from 215.6 to 121.1 (a 94.5 FPS decrease, or 43.8% reduction), Medium from 172.7 to 92.8 (a 79.9 FPS decrease, 46.3% reduction), High from 138.6 to 73 (a 65.6 FPS decrease, 47.3% reduction), and Ultra from 106.5 to 62.1 (a 44.4 FPS decrease, 41.7% reduction). The larger percentage drops at 4K strongly suggest that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as the GPU’s rendering load quadruples while the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant. The fact that 4K Low (121.1 FPS) is still higher than 1080p Ultra (161.6 FPS) is notable — this indicates that the CPU’s single-thread performance (1292 in 3dmark single-thread) is sufficient to drive high frame rates even when the GPU is heavily loaded, but the GPU’s capabilities limit the overall performance at higher resolutions.

The data shows that this combo delivers excellent frame rates across all tested settings, with the 1080p Low result of 328.7 FPS being particularly impressive.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node and 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). With 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, the card delivers 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Its 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores support advanced rendering features. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU achieves a 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 246994, and a Passmark G3D score of 34245, placing it in the 88th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 53610.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly important at higher resolutions and settings. The measured data shows that at 1080p Low, the GPU is not the limiting factor — the combo reaches 328.7 FPS, and the CPU’s single-thread performance likely drives this result. However, at 4K Ultra, the GPU’s limits are apparent: the combo drops to 62.1 FPS, indicating that the 52.22 TFLOPS of compute and 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at maximum settings in this resolution. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is ample for Fivem’s asset streaming, and the 23 Gbps effective memory speed helps with texture loading, but the GPU’s overall rendering throughput caps performance at 4K. The difference between 1080p Ultra (161.6 FPS) and 4K Ultra (62.1 FPS) represents a 61.6% reduction, which aligns with the GPU’s rendering load increasing by a factor of four. The GPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores nearly identically in synthetic benchmarks (53489 vs 53610, a 0.2% difference), suggesting that users upgrading from that card would see minimal performance gains in Fivem.
