Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the Intel Core i7-12700K and AMD Radeon RX 7700 reveals a pronounced scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers an average of 200 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 132 FPS, a reduction of 34%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 73 FPS, which is 63.5% below the 1080p Low result. This steep decline indicates that the rendering pipeline becomes increasingly GPU-bound as pixel count rises, with the CPU's headroom at lower resolutions being unable to compensate for the additional pixel workload.

The Medium settings row provides the most complete picture, as it includes both minimum and maximum FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS and maximum of 182 FPS. Stepping up to 1440p Medium yields an average of 104 FPS, with a min-max spread of 88 to 120 FPS. The 4K Medium result averages 58 FPS, with a tighter range of 49 to 66 FPS. The narrowing of the min-max range at higher resolutions suggests that frame time variance is compressed when the GPU is under heavier load, which is typical behavior for a system where the graphics card becomes the primary bottleneck.

Ultra settings amplify the resolution scaling effect. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 98 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 65 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, the average plummets to 36 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial: at 1080p, Ultra delivers 49% of the Low settings performance; at 1440p, Ultra delivers 49.2% of Low; and at 4K, Ultra delivers 49.3% of Low. This consistent ratio across resolutions indicates that the settings preset has a multiplicative effect on performance that is independent of resolution, suggesting the GPU's shading and memory subsystems are equally stressed by the quality increases regardless of pixel count.

The data strongly suggests that the AMD Radeon RX 7700 is the limiting component at 4K. The 73 FPS average at 4K Low versus 200 FPS at 1080p Low demonstrates that even with minimal graphical fidelity, the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K. Conversely, the CPU appears sufficient even at 1080p Ultra, where the 98 FPS average still exceeds typical 60 Hz display refresh rates. The scaling behavior points to a system where the i7-12700K provides ample processing headroom, but the RX 7700's compute and memory throughput cap performance at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings across resolutions. At 1080p, the High preset with an average of 126 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. The jump from Medium to High costs 32 FPS (from 158 to 126), but the visual improvement in a multiplayer game like Fivem is often worth the tradeoff. Ultra at 1080p drops to 98 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 22% reduction from High for diminishing returns in graphical detail.

For 1440p, the High preset at 83 FPS is the recommended choice. It stays above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay while providing substantial visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 104 FPS is also viable for players who prioritize frame rate, but the 21 FPS gain from switching to Medium comes at a noticeable quality cost. Ultra at 1440p averages 65 FPS, which is borderline for competitive play but acceptable for casual sessions. The Low preset at 132 FPS is only recommended for players who need maximum responsiveness, as the visual degradation is severe.

At 4K, the situation is more constrained. The Medium preset averages 58 FPS, which is close to the 60 FPS target but not quite there. The High preset drops to 46 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36 FPS, both of which are below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The Low preset at 73 FPS is the only 4K option that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, but it sacrifices significant visual detail. For 4K users, the data suggests that Medium is the practical maximum, with Low being the recommended preset for those who prioritize frame rate stability.

The Medium preset consistently provides the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, it averages 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS, ensuring no dips below 60 FPS. At 1440p, the 104 FPS average with an 88 FPS minimum keeps the experience smooth. At 4K, the 58 FPS average with a 49 FPS minimum is close to the 60 FPS target, though occasional dips may be noticeable. The inclusion of min and max values for Medium in the data suggests this preset was the primary testing target, indicating it is the intended sweet spot for this hardware combination.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700's memory configuration is a significant factor in its Fivem performance. The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a mid-range GPU. This bandwidth is crucial for a game like Fivem, which is built on the GTA V engine and often uses high-resolution textures in multiplayer environments. The 16 GB capacity provides ample headroom for texture-heavy scenes, and the measured FPS data shows no signs of memory-related stuttering, even at 4K Ultra where the average drops to 36 FPS but remains consistent.

The GPU's clock speeds play a role in its scaling behavior. The base clock is 1900 MHz, with a game clock of 2041 MHz and a boost clock of 2459 MHz. The boost clock represents a 29.4% increase over the base clock, which allows the GPU to dynamically adjust its performance based on thermal and power headroom. The 200 W TDP and dual-slot cooler with 2x 8-pin power connectors provide sufficient power delivery for sustained boost clocks under load.

The RX 7700's compute capabilities are defined by its RDNA 3.0 architecture. The GPU has 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units, along with 40 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 performance of 25.18 TFLOPS is matched by its FP16 performance of 25.18 TFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio that is characteristic of RDNA 3.0's design. The pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for the game's rendering workload.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its gaming performance. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,865 reflects modern API performance, while the Passmark G3D score of 20,974 places it in the 58th percentile. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 106,028 indicates strong compute performance for non-gaming workloads. In Fivem specifically, the GPU's 4K scaling behavior—dropping from 73 FPS at Low to 36 FPS at Ultra—shows that the RX 7700's compute and memory resources are fully utilized at higher resolutions, with the 16 GB frame buffer preventing any capacity-related limitations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured FPS data shows a clear progression across settings. The Low preset delivers an average of 200 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium averages 158 FPS, with a minimum of 134 FPS and maximum of 182 FPS. High averages 126 FPS, and Ultra averages 98 FPS. The 102 FPS gap between Low and Ultra represents a 51% reduction in performance when enabling maximum graphical fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops are consistent with the resolution increase. Low averages 132 FPS, Medium averages 104 FPS with a minimum of 88 FPS and maximum of 120 FPS, High averages 83 FPS, and Ultra averages 65 FPS. The 67 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is proportionally similar to the 1080p gap, confirming that the settings scaling is resolution-independent.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. Low averages 73 FPS, Medium averages 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS and maximum of 66 FPS, High averages 46 FPS, and Ultra averages 36 FPS. The 37 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is the smallest absolute difference across all resolutions, but the percentage reduction (50.7%) is consistent with the other resolutions.

The Medium preset is the only settings level that includes complete min/max data across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the 134-182 FPS range shows a 48 FPS spread, indicating some frame time variance but nothing that would cause noticeable stuttering. At 1440p, the 88-120 FPS range tightens to a 32 FPS spread. At 4K, the 49-66 FPS range narrows further to a 17 FPS spread. This pattern suggests that as the GPU becomes more heavily loaded, frame delivery becomes more consistent, which is counterintuitive but reflects the GPU's ability to maintain steady throughput when fully saturated.

The High preset provides a middle ground for each resolution. At 1080p, High delivers 126 FPS, which is 37% lower than Low but 28% higher than Ultra. At 1440p, High delivers 83 FPS, which is 37.1% lower than Low and 27.7% higher than Ultra. At 4K, High delivers 46 FPS, which is 37% lower than Low and 27.8% higher than Ultra. The consistency of these ratios across resolutions reinforces the conclusion that the settings presets have a uniform multiplicative effect on performance, regardless of the underlying resolution.
