FiveM
FiveM FPS boost: settings that actually help on GTA 5 RP servers
Raise your FPS on FiveM: measure with cl_drawperf, lower the heaviest GTA 5 graphics settings and use FiveM’s own texture setting.

Roleplay servers add many custom cars, clothes and buildings, so FiveM can run slower than story mode. Measure first, then lower the settings that cost the most.
Steps
| What | How |
|---|---|
| Measure | Type cl_drawperf true in F8 to see FPS, ping, CPU and GPU load. |
| Texture quality | If your GPU has little memory, lower Texture Quality to Normal or High. |
| Shadows and grass | Shadow quality, soft shadows and grass quality are among the heaviest settings. |
| MSAA | Turn MSAA off or to 2x; use FXAA instead. |
| Population and distance | Lower population density, variety and distance scaling a little. |
| Vehicle textures | Type str_maxVehicleTextureRes 512 in F8 to shrink vehicle textures; helps with low memory. |
| Background apps | Close browsers, recording software and overlays. |
Note
A crowded city square will always be heavier than an empty road; compare FPS in the same place before and after a change.
