Fivem

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile delivers a decisive performance profile in Fivem, with the data showing a system that scales predictably across resolutions and settings. The measured results indicate a configuration where the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates at higher resolutions, while the CPU's robust multi-threading capabilities ensure headroom at lower settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data reveals a clear and consistent decline as resolution increases, a pattern that underscores the GPU's growing workload. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces an average of 262 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that figure to 172 FPS, a reduction of approximately 34%. At 4K, the average falls further to 96 FPS, which is only about 37% of the 1080p Low result. This steep curve indicates that while the GPU is immensely capable, it is still the limiting component as pixel count rises.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Medium settings shows a similar trend: 207 FPS drops to 136 FPS, a 34% decrease. Between 1440p and 4K at Medium, the average falls from 136 FPS to 75 FPS, a 45% reduction. This non-linear drop suggests that the memory bandwidth and raw compute of the RTX 4090 Mobile are being taxed heavily at 4K, with the 576.0 GB/s bandwidth and 32.98 TFLOPS FP32 throughput becoming the constraining factors.

At High settings, the pattern persists: 165 FPS at 1080p, 109 FPS at 1440p, and 60 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result being exactly half of the 1080p High result highlights the significant overhead of rendering four times the pixels. The Ultra preset amplifies this effect, with 128 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra figure is the lowest measured average in the entire dataset, confirming that this combination is not tailored for maximum fidelity at maximum resolution.

Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 134 FPS (262 vs 128). At 4K, that gap narrows to 49 FPS (96 vs 47). This convergence indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU's fixed resources—shading units, ROPs, and memory bandwidth—are saturated, leaving less room for settings-driven performance variation. The data suggests a system where 1440p is the sweet spot for balancing visual quality and frame rate, while 4K requires significant settings compromises to maintain playable averages.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, running on the Strix Halo platform. Its base clock of 3.00 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz provide substantial single-thread headroom, which is critical for Fivem's multiplayer environments where many entities and scripts run concurrently. The CPU's benchmark scores reflect this capacity: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,314 and a single-core score of 2,044 position it as a top-tier mobile processor, sitting at the 95th percentile of all CPUs tested.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 262 FPS, a figure that likely approaches the engine's simulation limits. The high single-thread performance, evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2,464, ensures that the main game thread can keep pace with the GPU's output. The multi-threaded capability, with a PassMark multi-thread score of 54,934, also aids in handling background tasks and server communication typical of multiplayer modes.

The CPU's 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 80 KB of L1 cache per core reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the unpredictable access patterns common in Fivem's modded environments. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 sits within 2% of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX and AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P, and 1.7% behind the Intel Core i9-14900K in average benchmark score. This positioning confirms that the CPU is not a weak link in this configuration; even at 4K Ultra where the average FPS drops to 47, the CPU is unlikely to be the primary constraint given its strong single-thread metrics.

The data shows that as resolution increases, the CPU's influence on the final frame rate diminishes. The 4K Low result of 96 FPS versus the 1080p Low result of 262 FPS demonstrates that the GPU's workload scaling, not CPU limitations, dictates the drop. The CPU's 32 threads and high boost clock provide ample headroom for any title, and Fivem's reliance on CPU for game logic is well-served by this processor's architecture.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is the clear performance driver in this pairing, with its Ada Lovelace architecture and AD103 chip delivering substantial raw compute. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 576.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is essential for high-resolution textures and multiplayer asset streaming. The 9,728 shading units and 112 ROPs contribute to a pixel rate of 189.8 GPixel/s, enabling the high fill rates observed at lower resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark results place it at the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 27,212 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 180,831. These figures indicate a mobile part that performs near desktop-class levels, though the data shows it trails the NVIDIA RTX A6000 by 0.9% in average benchmark score and leads the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 by 0.8%. The 120 W TDP is modest for the performance delivered, but the boost clock of 1695 MHz ensures sustained throughput.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1080p, the GPU can easily exceed 200 FPS on Low and Medium settings, with the 262 FPS Low result showing that the GPU is not the bottleneck at this resolution. However, at 4K, the GPU's resources are fully engaged. The 4K Medium result of 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS and maximum of 87 FPS shows some variance, likely due to scene complexity in multiplayer. The 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS indicates that the GPU is struggling to maintain playable frame rates at maximum fidelity.

The GPU's 32.98 TFLOPS FP32 performance is the key metric for Fivem's rendering workload. The data suggests that at 4K, the GPU is operating near its practical limits, as evidenced by the 45% performance drop from 1440p Medium to 4K Medium. The memory bandwidth of 576.0 GB/s also becomes a limiting factor at 4K, where texture fetch demands increase exponentially. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Fivem's asset-heavy environments, preventing potential stutter from memory swapping that could affect the minimum FPS figures.
