Fivem

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics settings. At 1080p, the system is capable of generating exceptionally high frame rates, but the scaling to 4K reveals a significant shift in bottleneck behavior. The measured data shows a clear progression: at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 262 FPS, which drops to 207 FPS at Medium, 165 FPS at High, and 128 FPS at Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages fall to 172 FPS (Low), 136 FPS (Medium), 109 FPS (High), and 84 FPS (Ultra). At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens dramatically, with the Low preset still achieving 96 FPS, but Medium dropping to 75 FPS, High to 60 FPS, and Ultra to just 47 FPS.

The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a reduction from 262 FPS to 96 FPS, a drop of approximately 63%. This indicates that even at the lowest settings, the resolution increase places a substantial load on the system, though the RTX 4090 remains the primary driver of raw frame output. The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings is particularly telling: the average falls from 109 FPS to 60 FPS, a 45% reduction. This steep decline suggests that at 4K, the GPU is operating near its limits, and the frame rate is increasingly constrained by pixel throughput rather than CPU capabilities. The data points to a system that can easily exceed 200 FPS at 1080p for competitive play, but at 4K, the experience becomes more aligned with traditional AAA gaming, where 60 FPS on High is the ceiling. The medium preset at 4K offers a more balanced compromise, delivering 75 FPS average with a minimum of 64 FPS, which is a smoother experience than the High preset's 60 FPS average without recorded minimums. The Ultra preset at 4K, with its 47 FPS average, clearly pushes the hardware too far for a fluid experience, indicating that the combination of the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and RTX 4090 is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming or settings-tuned 4K play.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem shows a predictable yet pronounced impact of resolution scaling. The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings results in a frame rate drop from 165 FPS to 109 FPS, a 34% decrease. This is a substantial hit, but the resulting 109 FPS is still well within the bounds of high-refresh-rate monitors. The jump from 1440p to 4K at the same High preset is more severe, with the average falling to 60 FPS, a 45% reduction from the 1440p figure. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, as the pixel count doubles from 1440p (3.7 million pixels) to 4K (8.3 million pixels), requiring nearly double the fragment processing power.

At the Low preset, the scaling is even more dramatic in absolute terms. The system produces 262 FPS at 1080p, 172 FPS at 1440p, and 96 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 63%, showing that while the CPU and GPU combo is potent, the sheer volume of pixels at 4K overwhelms the rendering pipeline. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p Low, the frame rate is likely CPU-bound, as the RTX 4090 can easily process the geometry and shading required, but at 4K, the GPU's fill rate becomes the primary constraint. This is corroborated by the fact that the gap between Low and Ultra settings at 4K is 49 FPS (96 vs 47), while at 1080p the gap is 134 FPS (262 vs 128). The wider gap at lower resolutions indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to exploit the settings differences, but at 4K, the GPU's limitations cap the potential gains from reducing settings.

The medium preset provides the most balanced scaling across resolutions. At 1080p, it achieves 207 FPS, at 1440p 136 FPS, and at 4K 75 FPS. The step from 1440p to 4K at Medium is a 45% drop, similar to the High preset. However, the minimum FPS recorded at 4K Medium is 64 FPS, which is higher than the average of the 4K High preset. This suggests that for a consistent 60+ FPS experience at 4K, Medium settings are the safest choice, as they provide headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K, with a 47 FPS average, is clearly not suitable for smooth gameplay, and even the 1440p Ultra average of 84 FPS may be marginal for very high refresh rate displays. Overall, the resolution scaling analysis shows that this hardware combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, users must be selective with settings to maintain high frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this combo, and its specifications align with the measured performance in Fivem. The GPU features 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. This massive memory pool and bandwidth are more than sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming, especially in multiplayer scenarios where numerous player models and custom vehicles are loaded. The high bandwidth ensures that texture data can be fed to the GPU quickly, preventing stutters that might occur with less capable cards. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz, paired with 16,384 shading units, allows for immense compute throughput, which is reflected in the high frame rates at lower resolutions.

The RTX 4090's raw performance is evident in the 1080p Low result of 262 FPS, where the GPU is likely not the bottleneck. However, the 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS highlights the GPU's limits when pushing 8.3 million pixels with maximum settings. The GPU's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is a theoretical peak, and the measured data shows that Fivem's engine cannot fully utilize this power at 4K Ultra due to other bottlenecks, likely in the game's draw call processing. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support is relevant, as Fivem can leverage modern rendering features, but the game's age and multiplayer nature often introduce CPU-related overhead that limits scaling.

Comparing the RTX 4090 to its nearest rivals in the database, its average benchmark score of 60347 is nearly identical to the Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326), with a deltaPct of 0%. This is a surprising parity in synthetic benchmarks, but the measured FPS in Fivem shows the RTX 4090's real-world strength. The GPU's percentile rank of 88% among all GPUs indicates it is in the top tier, but not the absolute best, which aligns with its performance in this game where it is not always the limiting factor. The 24 GB VRAM is a future-proofing asset, but for Fivem at 4K, the data shows that VRAM capacity is not the constraint; rather, it is the GPU's overall rendering throughput that caps performance. The GPU's end-of-life production status and 450W TDP are noteworthy, but the measured data shows it can handle Fivem's demands without issue, provided the settings are adjusted for the target resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

In the comprehensive database of tested hardware combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 achieves a combo rank of 625 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 21% of all configurations, which is a strong showing given the game's unique demands. The rank of 625 indicates that while this combo is powerful, there are 624 other combinations that produce higher average frame rates in Fivem. This is likely due to the CPU's mobile-oriented design, as the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a mobile processor with a 55W TDP, which may limit its sustained performance compared to desktop parts with higher power budgets.

The combo's rank is influenced by the CPU's performance relative to its rivals. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 has an average benchmark score of 77740, which is 1.6% higher than the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX and the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P, and 2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX. However, it is 1.7% lower than the Intel Core i9-14900K. In Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance, the CPU's 5.10 GHz boost clock and 16 cores/32 threads provide a solid foundation. The CPU's 95th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its high-end status, but the game's engine may not fully utilize all 32 threads, making the single-core performance more critical.

The GPU's rank of 88th percentile among all GPUs, combined with the CPU's 95th percentile, suggests a well-balanced system. However, the combo rank of 625 out of 3005 shows that other combinations, likely featuring newer or more powerful desktop CPUs, can achieve higher frame rates. The data indicates that the RTX 4090's performance is not the limiting factor in this combo's ranking; rather, it is the CPU's ability to feed the GPU in Fivem's multiplayer environments. The 625th rank is still respectable, and the measured FPS at 1440p High (109 FPS) and 1080p High (165 FPS) are excellent for real-world gameplay. For users seeking the absolute highest frame rates in Fivem, a desktop CPU with higher single-thread performance might rank higher, but this combo offers a compelling balance of CPU and GPU power.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution. For 1080p users seeking the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset delivers 262 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play on 240Hz monitors. However, the Medium preset at 207 FPS offers a significant visual upgrade with only a 21% reduction in frame rate, making it the best balance for high-refresh-rate displays. The High preset at 165 FPS is also viable for 144Hz monitors, but the Ultra preset at 128 FPS is best reserved for those who prioritize visual fidelity over raw speed. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the bottleneck, as the RTX 4090 has ample headroom to render frames faster than the CPU can deliver them.

For 1440p, the Medium preset stands out as the sweet spot, delivering 136 FPS average with a minimum of 116 FPS. This provides a smooth experience on 144Hz monitors without sacrificing much visual quality. The High preset at 109 FPS is also excellent, and it offers better shadows and textures. The Low preset at 172 FPS is ideal for maximum frame rates, but the visual compromise may be too steep for many users. The Ultra preset at 84 FPS is playable, but the minimum FPS is not recorded, so there is a risk of dips below 60 FPS in busy scenes. For 4K, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation, with a 75 FPS average and 64 FPS minimum, ensuring a stable 60+ FPS experience. The High preset at 60 FPS average is borderline, and any dips could make it feel stuttery. The Low preset at 96 FPS is the best choice for high-refresh 4K monitors, while the Ultra preset at 47 FPS is not recommended for serious gameplay.

The data suggests a tiered approach: for 1080p, use High or Medium for a balance of speed and quality; for 1440p, use High or Medium to leverage the GPU's power; for 4K, use Medium or Low to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset is only viable at 1080p, where the RTX 4090 can still produce 128 FPS. Users with 1440p 165Hz monitors will find the High preset nearly perfect, while 4K users should prioritize Medium to avoid the performance cliff seen at Ultra. The recorded minimum FPS at Medium settings across all resolutions provides confidence in consistency, making it the most reliable choice for a smooth experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. This high boost clock is critical for Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V and is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance. The CPU's 64 MB of shared L3 cache helps with the game's asset streaming, reducing the need to access slower system memory. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s via quad-channel LPDDR5X support is substantial, ensuring that the 24 GB of GDDR6X on the GPU is not starved for data.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 scores 2044 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 35314 in multi-core. The single-core score is respectable, but the multi-core score of 35314 is impressive for a mobile processor with a 55W TDP. However, Fivem's engine does not scale perfectly with core count, so the CPU's single-thread performance is more indicative of its gaming capability. The CPU's 5.10 GHz boost clock is higher than many desktop parts, which helps in Fivem's CPU-bound scenarios at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 262 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame generation capability, as the RTX 4090 is not the limiting factor at that resolution.

The CPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals is noteworthy. It scores 1.6% higher than the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX and the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P in average benchmark scores, and 2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX. However, it trails the Intel Core i9-14900K by 1.7%. In Fivem, the i9-14900K's higher single-thread performance might give it an edge in CPU-bound scenarios, which could explain why this combo ranks 625th rather than higher. The CPU's 95th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its top-tier status, but the game's engine seems to favor processors with the absolute highest single-thread speeds. The CPU's 4nm process node from TSMC allows for high clock speeds while maintaining a 55W TDP, making it an efficient choice for a laptop, but desktop users may prefer a higher-TDP part for sustained multi-threaded workloads. In Fivem, the CPU's role is to maintain high frame rates by processing game logic and draw calls, and the measured data shows it does this effectively up to 1440p, but at 4K, the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck.
