This indicates strong multi-threading capabilities, though the game's performance is more dependent on the single-thread results.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates range from 197 FPS at Ultra to 351 FPS at Low. Moving to 2560x1440, these figures drop to 130 FPS at Ultra and 265 FPS at Low. At 3840x2160, the averages fall further to 72 FPS at Ultra and 147 FPS at Low. This progression shows that the system is highly capable at lower resolutions, with the GPU becoming increasingly stressed as pixel count rises.

Analyzing the High preset specifically: 1080p yields 254 FPS, 1440p yields 167 FPS (a 34% reduction), and 4K yields 93 FPS (a 63% reduction from 1080p). The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steeper than from 1080p to 1440p, which is typical as the GPU approaches its rendering limits. The RTX 5090 D's massive 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that memory capacity is never a constraint, even at 4K resolution.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance may be the primary limiter, as the frame rates of 254 FPS at High and 351 FPS at Low approach what even the fastest processors can sustain in Fivem's multiplayer environment. At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck, evidenced by the drop to 93 FPS at High and 72 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset shows the most balanced behavior, with 317 FPS at 1080p, 209 FPS at 1440p, and 116 FPS at 4K, providing a smooth experience across all resolutions.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 317 FPS with a minimum of 270 FPS and maximum of 365 FPS. This provides a substantial frame rate cushion above the typical 144Hz or 240Hz refresh rate monitors, ensuring smooth gameplay without unnecessary GPU load. At 2560x1440, Medium still achieves 209 FPS average with a minimum of 178 FPS, which remains well above 144Hz refresh rates. Even at 3840x2160, Medium produces 116 FPS average with a minimum of 99 FPS, making it viable for 4K gaming on high-refresh displays.

For competitive players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset is the clear choice. At 1080p, Low achieves 351 FPS, and at 1440p it reaches 265 FPS, both of which support the highest refresh rate monitors available. The visual sacrifice is acceptable for those seeking every possible frame in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. At 4K, Low still delivers 147 FPS, making it the only preset that exceeds 144Hz at this resolution.

The High preset offers a middle ground, with 254 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p, and 93 FPS at 4K. This is suitable for users with 144Hz monitors at 1440p, but the 4K performance drops below the 100 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for smooth play. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, yielding 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p, and 72 FPS at 4K. While 130 FPS at 1440p is respectable, the 72 FPS at 4K may feel less fluid on high-refresh displays, making this preset best suited for users who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rates.
