GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is the graphics engine in this pairing, built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 22 chip. It carries 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock runs at 2321 MHz, with a boost clock of 2581 MHz and a game clock of 2424 MHz. These clocks directly influence how the card handles Fivem's draw calls and shader workloads.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 191 FPS, which indicates the GPU is not the primary limiter at lower settings. However, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS collapses to 34, showing that the RX 6700 XT's 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate are saturated by the higher resolution and settings. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming, but the card's 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs become bottlenecks at 4K.

The GPU's synthetic benchmarks reinforce this picture. It scores 19786 in Passmark G3D and 2435 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. These scores place it at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RX 6700 XT matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (27435 vs 27425, 0% delta) and trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (27565) by 0.5%. This means the card's raw throughput is competitive with those parts, but Fivem's specific engine behavior can amplify or mitigate that performance depending on resolution.

The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU's boost clock of 2581 MHz is enough to drive high frame rates, but at 4K, the card's memory bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s and pixel rate become the limiting factors. The transition from Low to Medium at 4K costs 15 FPS (70 to 55), while High to Ultra costs 10 FPS (44 to 34). That non-linear scaling indicates the GPU is hitting compute or fill-rate ceilings rather than VRAM capacity issues.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 9 290K Plus + AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT ranks 1535 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it just below the median of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the GPU's mid-range standing more than the CPU's top-tier position, since the CPU alone sits at the 96th percentile among all CPUs.

The GPU's 72nd percentile ranking pulls the combo down relative to what the CPU alone could achieve. For context, the CPU's average benchmark score of 84003 puts it 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K and 1.1% ahead of the AMD EPYC 4584PX. The GPU's average score of 27425 is nearly identical to the RTX 4070 Mobile (0% delta) but 1.5% behind the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839). This means the combo's rank is driven by the GPU's mid-pack performance in Fivem's engine.

A rank of 1535 out of 3005 means roughly half of tested combos outperform this pairing in Fivem. The data indicates that configurations with faster GPUs, even with weaker CPUs, would likely overtake this combo at higher resolutions. Conversely, the combo's strong CPU ensures that at 1080p Low, it can reach 191 FPS, which is competitive with many higher-ranked setups.

The gap between the CPU's 96th percentile and the GPU's 72nd percentile highlights a mismatch. The Ultra 9 290K Plus is overqualified for the RX 6700 XT in Fivem, especially at 4K where the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. This is evident in the FPS data: at 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 34 FPS, which is far below what the CPU alone could drive if paired with a stronger GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 191 FPS, Medium drops to 151 FPS, High to 120 FPS, and Ultra to 93 FPS. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 128 FPS and a maximum of 173 FPS, indicating stable frame pacing within a 45 FPS range.

At 2560x1440, performance degrades noticeably. Low settings average 126 FPS, Medium 99 FPS, High 79 FPS, and Ultra 62 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum is 84 FPS and maximum is 114 FPS, a 30 FPS spread. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low is 65 FPS (191 to 126), which is a 34% reduction.

At 3840x2160, the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings average 70 FPS, Medium 55 FPS, High 44 FPS, and Ultra 34 FPS. The Medium preset records a minimum of 47 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 36 FPS, showing that settings have a massive impact at this resolution.

The data shows a clear pattern: at every resolution, Low to Medium costs roughly 20-25% of the frame rate, while High to Ultra costs another 20-25%. At 1080p, the jump from High (120 FPS) to Ultra (93 FPS) is a 27 FPS loss. At 1440p, the same jump costs 17 FPS (79 to 62). At 4K, it costs 10 FPS (44 to 34). This suggests diminishing returns on settings at higher resolutions, where the GPU is already near its limits.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component clearly. At Low settings, the combo goes from 191 FPS at 1080p to 126 FPS at 1440p to 70 FPS at 4K. That is a 63% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the drop is from 120 FPS to 79 FPS to 44 FPS, a 63% reduction as well. At Ultra settings, it goes from 93 FPS to 62 FPS to 34 FPS, a 63% reduction.

The consistent 63% drop across all settings indicates that resolution scaling is entirely GPU-bound. The CPU's 24 cores and 5.80 GHz boost clock are not the bottleneck here, because if they were, the percentage drop would vary with settings. Instead, the RX 6700 XT's pixel rate of 165.2 GPixel/s and memory bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s are the factors that scale with resolution.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steeper than from 1080p to 1440p. At Low settings, 1440p to 4K costs 56 FPS (126 to 70), while 1080p to 1440p costs 65 FPS (191 to 126). The percentage drop is similar, but the absolute loss is smaller at higher resolutions because the starting point is lower. This compression of frame rates at 4K is typical of a GPU that hits its memory bandwidth ceiling.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the combo is moderately CPU-limited in Fivem, since the 191 FPS at Low is not far off what the CPU alone could push. But at 4K, the GPU is the sole limiter, as evidenced by the 34 FPS at Ultra. The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 4823 and multithread score of 60860 are more than sufficient for Fivem's engine, which relies on a few fast cores rather than many threads.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 9 290K Plus is a 24-core, 24-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake Refresh architecture, built on a 3 nm process. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.80 GHz make it one of the fastest desktop CPUs in the database, reflected in its 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s, which feeds the GPU's demands in Fivem.

In synthetic tests, the CPU scores 51731 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 7303 in single-core. These scores indicate that the CPU can handle Fivem's multi-player server logic, which can be CPU-intensive in crowded areas. The Passmark multithread score of 60860 and integer math score of 166194 show strong compute capability, but Fivem rarely utilizes all 24 threads.

The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 191 FPS, which is likely near the engine's frame rate ceiling. At 4K, the FPS drops to 34 at Ultra, but that is purely GPU-bound. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by the 736 Cinebench R15 single-core score, is adequate for Fivem's main thread, which handles game logic and network code.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ultra 9 290K Plus is 0.2% faster than the Ultra 9 285K and 1.1% faster than the EPYC 4584PX in average benchmarks. This marginal lead means that in Fivem, the CPU choice between these parts would have negligible impact. The GPU matters far more, as the RX 6700 XT's 72nd percentile ranking is the combo's weak point.

The CPU's 36 MB of shared L3 cache and 192 KB L1 per core provide ample fast memory for Fivem's asset lookups. However, the game's engine is not cache-hungry enough to differentiate this CPU from cheaper alternatives. The data indicates that pairing this high-end CPU with a mid-range GPU results in a combo that is CPU-overkill and GPU-limited at 1080p, and purely GPU-limited at 4K.
