GamesFiveMHow much RAM does a FiveM server need?

These are rough estimates, not official numbers. Watch usage in the panel  and txAdmin, and upgrade when you need to.

ServerApproximate RAM
Small or test server, a few friends4 GB
QBCore or ESX roleplay, 20 to 32 players6 GB
Busy roleplay with many scripts and custom maps, up to 48 players8 GB
Heavy servers with lots of streamed cars and maps12 to 16 GB

FiveM plans come in 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 GB on Premium+ (Ryzen 9 9950X). Each plan includes 10 GB of NVMe per 1 GB of RAM, backups, and its own port for txAdmin. Prices are on Premium+ plans and prices.

What raises usage

  • Streamed cars, clothing and maps, which the server holds in memory.
  • Many scripts running loops all the time.
  • More players online at once.

A free Cfx.re key allows up to 48 players, so going past 16 GB rarely helps.
