# GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the AD104 chip using TSMC's 5 nm process, containing 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves ample for Fivem's asset streaming demands.

The GPU's 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines provide the raw compute necessary for high-resolution rendering. With 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores, the card is future-proofed for games that leverage these features, though Fivem's multiplayer focus typically relies more on traditional rasterization. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s indicate the card can sustain heavy fill-rate workloads.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the frame rates exceed 290 FPS on Low settings, suggesting the CPU is the primary limiter at lower resolutions. However, at 4K, the GPU's workload intensifies substantially, and the average frame rates drop to levels where the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM and memory bandwidth become critical factors. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures texture streaming remains fluid even in densely populated multiplayer servers.

The GPU's benchmark results corroborate its gaming performance. The PassMark G3D score of 29,995 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4,627 indicate strong DirectX 12 performance, which aligns with Fivem's rendering requirements. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 205,624 suggests the card handles Vulkan APIs efficiently, though Fivem primarily uses DirectX.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p, the combo delivers exceptional performance, with Low settings hitting 290 FPS, Medium at 229 FPS, High at 183 FPS, and Ultra at 142 FPS. Moving to 1440p, these figures drop to 191 FPS (Low), 151 FPS (Medium), 120 FPS (High), and 93 FPS (Ultra). At 4K, the numbers fall further to 106 FPS (Low), 84 FPS (Medium), 67 FPS (High), and 52 FPS (Ultra).

The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a reduction of approximately 63% on Low settings (290 to 106 FPS), 63% on Medium (229 to 84 FPS), 63% on High (183 to 67 FPS), and 63% on Ultra (142 to 52 FPS). This consistent scaling factor across all settings suggests that the GPU becomes the limiting component as resolution increases, with the CPU's influence diminishing at higher pixel counts.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 34% FPS drop on Low settings, while the 1440p to 4K transition costs another 44%. This pattern indicates that Fivem's rendering load scales nearly linearly with pixel count, a characteristic typical of games that are fill-rate limited rather than geometry limited. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 198.0 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes the bottleneck at 4K, particularly on Ultra settings where the 52 FPS average reflects the GPU's maximum sustained output.

Interestingly, the drop from High to Ultra settings at each resolution is substantial. At 4K, High delivers 67 FPS while Ultra drops to 52 FPS, a 22% reduction. At 1440p, the same settings transition costs 23% (120 to 93 FPS), and at 1080p it costs 22% (183 to 142 FPS). This consistent penalty suggests Ultra presets introduce additional effects that stress the GPU's shading units and memory subsystem uniformly across resolutions.
