Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title, and the measured results for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 show a system that scales predictably with resolution. At 1080p, the combo posts very high frame rates, while at 4K, the load shifts heavily to the GPU, resulting in a significant performance drop. This analysis breaks down the resolution scaling, component roles, and settings recommendations based solely on the provided benchmark data.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and substantial performance decline as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system achieves an average of 173 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same High settings, the average drops to 114 FPS, a reduction of 59 FPS (or about 34%). At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 63 FPS.

This scaling pattern indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the primary limiting factor at 4K, while at 1080p, the frame rates are high enough to suggest the CPU is keeping pace. The transition from 1440p to 4K represents a steeper relative drop than from 1080p to 1440p, highlighting the exponential cost of rendering more pixels. For instance, at Ultra settings, the system moves from 88 FPS at 1440p to 49 FPS at 4K, a drop of 39 FPS. The GPU's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 512-bit bus are not the bottleneck here; instead, the sheer pixel throughput required at 4K overwhelms the rendering pipeline, despite the RTX 5090's high boost clock of 2407 MHz.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a flagship part, and its specifications dominate the measured results. The GPU is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB202 chip and is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. The memory subsystem is equally formidable: 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. The base clock is 2017 MHz, with a boost clock of 2407 MHz.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most apparent at 3840x2160. At 4K with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 49, which is the lowest measured value across all configurations. This is a direct consequence of the rendering load, as the GPU must process over 8 million pixels per frame. The RTX 5090's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute helps, but the data shows that even this massive compute capability cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra in this specific title. The GPU's performance relative to other tested parts is strong; it ranks in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs in the benchmark database. Its average benchmark score of 79,842 places it close to rivals like the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, which scores 79,605 (a 0.3% difference), and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, which scores 78,940 (a 1.1% difference). This indicates the RTX 5090 is at the top of the performance stack, yet Fivem's 4K Ultra settings still push it to its limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Strix Halo. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The CPU is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC and features 64 MB of shared L3 cache. Its memory support includes LPDDR5X with a quad-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s.

In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most evident at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 274 FPS. This high frame rate suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to maintain very high performance. However, the gap between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p (274 FPS vs 134 FPS) is substantial, indicating that the game's simulation and draw call processing are CPU-intensive. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by benchmarks like Geekbench single-core (2,464) and Passmark single-thread (4,147), is solid, but the data from Fivem suggests that the game benefits more from the high core count at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. The CPU's 16 cores and 32 threads are likely utilized well in a multiplayer environment with many entities. The CPU ranks in the 95th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,740. Compared to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-14900K, which scores 79,097 (a -1.7% delta), the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 holds its own, though it trails slightly in aggregate benchmarks.

FAQ

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: The measured data shows an average of 274 FPS at Low settings and 134 FPS at Ultra settings at 1920x1080. This represents a 140 FPS difference, indicating that higher settings significantly impact performance even at a lower resolution.

Q: Does the system maintain playable frame rates at 4K with Ultra settings?

A: At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 49. While this is below the common 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, it is still technically playable, though the data suggests that High settings (63 FPS) or Medium settings (79 FPS) would provide a smoother experience.

Q: How does the RTX 5090 compare to its closest rival in aggregate benchmarks?

A: The RTX 5090 has an average benchmark score of 79,842. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, scores 79,605, which is a 0.3% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78,940, a 1.1% difference.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gameplay?

A: Based on the measured data, Medium settings at 2560x1440 provide an average of 142 FPS with a minimum of 121 FPS. This is a balanced choice, as High settings yield 114 FPS and Ultra drops to 88 FPS. Medium offers a high average with a stable minimum.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck at 4K?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The average FPS drops from 114 at 1440p High to 63 at 4K High, a reduction of 51 FPS. This significant drop when increasing pixel count points to GPU rendering limits rather than CPU processing.

Q: How does the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 rank among all CPUs?

A: The CPU is in the 95th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,740. This places it ahead of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX, which scores 76,513 (a 1.6% delta), but behind the Intel Core i9-14900K, which scores 79,097 (a -1.7% delta).

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 601st out of 3,005 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the top 20% of all configurations tested for this specific game. The ranking is notable because it combines a top-tier GPU with a high-end mobile CPU. The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking and the CPU's 95th percentile ranking suggest that both components are near the top of their respective categories.

However, the 601st rank out of 3,005 combos indicates that there are configurations that perform better in Fivem. This could be due to the game's specific engine characteristics, which may favor higher single-thread performance or different memory architectures. The CPU's nearest rival in aggregate benchmarks, the Intel Core i9-14900K, has a higher average score, which might translate to better performance in Fivem's CPU-bound scenarios. The data shows that this combo is capable of high frame rates, but it is not the absolute best performer in the database. The rank reflects a balanced system that excels at high resolutions, but the relatively lower performance at 4K Ultra (49 FPS) compared to other top-tier combos may contribute to its position.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate.

At 1920x1080, all settings presets are playable, but High settings (173 FPS) offer a strong balance between visual quality and performance. Low settings (274 FPS) are excessive for most displays, while Ultra (134 FPS) still provides a smooth experience. Medium settings (216 FPS) are a good middle ground, but High is recommended for the best visual fidelity without sacrificing frame rate.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings (142 FPS) are the best choice for a high refresh rate experience. The minimum FPS of 121 ensures stability, while High (114 FPS) is also viable. Ultra (88 FPS) dips below the 90 FPS threshold, making it less ideal for competitive play. Low settings (180 FPS) are unnecessary given the visual compromise.

At 3840x2160, Medium settings (79 FPS) are the recommended preset. This setting provides a playable frame rate with a minimum of 67 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. High settings (63 FPS) are playable but close to the edge, while Ultra (49 FPS) is not recommended for a consistent experience. Low settings (100 FPS) offer the highest frame rate at 4K but compromise visual quality significantly. For the best overall experience at 4K, Medium is the sweet spot.
