Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 shows a clear pattern: 1080p is fully playable across every preset, 1440p is playable at medium and low settings, and 4K is not viable for smooth gameplay at any tested preset.

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers strong performance. The Low preset reaches 147.6 FPS on average, which is the highest recorded figure for this pairing. Medium follows at 113.8 FPS, High at 92.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 71.8 FPS. Every 1080p preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, with Ultra maintaining a comfortable 11.8 FPS margin above that mark. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 75.8 FPS reduction, or roughly 51% of the Low preset's performance. This indicates that the GPU is doing progressively more work as visual quality increases, but the system has enough headroom to absorb the load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates step down noticeably. Low produces 93.7 FPS, Medium delivers 76.9 FPS, High drops to 58.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 43.5 FPS. The 1440p results show that only Low and Medium stay above 60 FPS. High misses the threshold by 1.8 FPS, which is a narrow margin in practical terms, but the data clearly places it below playable. Ultra lags further behind at 43.5 FPS, a 16.5 FPS deficit from the 60 FPS target. The gap between Medium and High at this resolution is 18.7 FPS, which is larger than the 9.7 FPS difference between those same presets at 1080p. That widening gap suggests the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, none of the tested presets reach 60 FPS. Low averages 52.1 FPS, Medium 42.9 FPS, High 31.7 FPS, and Ultra 23.5 FPS. The best 4K result, Low at 52.1 FPS, still falls 7.9 FPS short of the playable threshold. The spread from Low to Ultra is 28.6 FPS, with each successive preset costing roughly 9 to 10 FPS. The data shows a consistent decline as settings increase, but even the most aggressive reduction in visual quality cannot push this hardware into playable territory at 4K.

The recorded data does not include minimum or maximum frame rates, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. This means the consistency of frame pacing cannot be assessed from the database, but the average figures provide a reliable baseline for expected performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists several CPUs and GPUs that produce benchmark scores very close to this pairing. These alternatives would behave similarly in Fivem, assuming the rest of the system remains unchanged.

On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F's average benchmark score is 25005. The nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores 24964, a delta of 0.2% lower. That difference is negligible, so swapping to the 7500F would essentially preserve frame rates. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, 0.3% lower, and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, 0.4% lower. These are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem. On the higher side, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, 0.4% above the 8400F. That is a server-class chip, but the benchmark delta is small enough that it would not translate into a meaningful FPS advantage in this game.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 has an average benchmark score of 15290. The closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 at 15283, a delta of 0%. That is an older card, but the score parity suggests similar rasterization throughput in the database's test suite. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, 0.1% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, 0.8% lower. All four rivals sit within 0.8% of the RTX 2060, so in Fivem, where the GPU load scales heavily with resolution and settings, these cards would produce nearly identical average frame rates at the same settings.

The practical takeaway is that this combo sits in a dense cluster of hardware with similar aggregate performance. If a builder already owns a Ryzen 5 7500F or an RTX 3050 OEM, the Fivem experience would be effectively the same as with the 8400F and RTX 2060. The differences are far too small to justify a swap for this game alone.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the system shows strong scaling from Low to Ultra, with average FPS dropping from 147.6 to 71.8. That 51% reduction in performance as settings increase points to the GPU taking on more work. The CPU, a Ryzen 5 8400F with 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4, has enough single-thread performance to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. The single-thread benchmark scores, such as 2943 in Cinebench R23 and 3685 in PassMark single-thread, indicate solid per-core capability. In a multiplayer title like Fivem, where server-side and client-side logic can stress a few threads, this CPU should not bottleneck the GPU at 1080p.

At 1440p, the frame rates drop more sharply between Medium and High, from 76.9 to 58.2 FPS. That 18.7 FPS gap is the largest between consecutive presets at any resolution. It suggests the GPU is hitting a workload threshold where its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus, with 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth, become limiting. The RTX 2060's 1920 shading units and 48 ROPs are adequate for 1080p, but the higher pixel count at 1440p increases the demand on the rasterizer and memory subsystem. The CPU is likely still capable of keeping up, as evidenced by the fact that Low at 1440p reaches 93.7 FPS, which is higher than Ultra at 1080p. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would not rise that much when lowering settings at a higher resolution.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. Even Low settings only produce 52.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 23.5 FPS. The RTX 2060's 6 GB VRAM may also be a factor at 3840x2160, as higher resolutions require more memory for textures and buffers. The CPU's role diminishes further because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to keep the CPU busy. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a 28.6 FPS spread, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p spread, but the absolute values are far below playable.

The data indicates that the CPU is sufficient for this game at all tested resolutions, while the GPU determines playability. At 1080p and 1440p, lowering settings yields large FPS gains, which is typical of GPU-bound scenarios. The only caveat is that the CPU's 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth on a dual-channel DDR5 interface are modest for the platform, but Fivem's workload does not appear to stress these resources enough to cause a bottleneck.

The Verdict

The question is whether this PC can run Fivem, and the answer depends entirely on the target resolution and settings. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the verdict data is explicit.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable on every preset. The list of playable settings includes High, Low, Medium, and Ultra. The best settings for image quality are Ultra, which averages 71.8 FPS. That is above the 60 FPS threshold, so a user can max out the visual options and still maintain smooth gameplay. If a higher frame rate is preferred, dropping to Medium yields 113.8 FPS, and Low reaches 147.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable on Low and Medium only. The best playable preset is Medium, with an average of 76.9 FPS. That provides a 16.9 FPS margin above the threshold, which is acceptable for most players. Low is also viable at 93.7 FPS, but High falls just short at 58.2 FPS, and Ultra is not playable at 43.5 FPS. For 1440p gaming, the recommended choice is Medium, as it balances visual quality with a comfortable frame rate.

At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The list of playable settings is empty, and no preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 52.1 FPS, which would feel stuttery and inconsistent for fast-paced multiplayer. The verdict is clear: this combination is not suitable for 4K in Fivem.

In practical terms, this PC is a solid 1080p machine for Fivem, a capable 1440p machine at medium settings, and not viable at 4K. A user with a 1080p monitor can run the game at Ultra with confidence. A 1440p user should stick to Medium to stay above 60 FPS. A 4K user would need a more powerful GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination in Fivem at position 2969 out of 3707 tested combos. That places it in the lower half of all tested systems, which is consistent with the hardware's age and tier. The RTX 2060 is an end-of-life product from the GeForce 20-series, and the Ryzen 5 8400F is a budget-oriented desktop CPU from the 8000 series. The 2969 rank means that a significant number of tested combos deliver higher average frame rates in Fivem.

However, the rank should be interpreted with context. The combo still achieves 60 FPS at 1080p on all presets and at 1440p on medium and low. A rank of 2969 out of 3707 means roughly 80% of tested combos outperform it, but that includes systems with much newer and more expensive GPUs. For a 1080p gamer, this combo's actual performance is sufficient for smooth play. For a 1440p gamer, it requires settings compromises but remains usable. The rank reflects aggregate performance across all resolutions and settings, so it does not tell the full story for a user who only plays at 1080p.

The CPU's percentile rank against all CPUs is 77, meaning it outperforms 77% of tested processors. The GPU's percentile rank against all GPUs is 58, meaning it outperforms 58% of tested graphics cards. The discrepancy between those two percentiles indicates that the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing. The CPU has more headroom relative to its peers than the GPU does. In Fivem, the measured FPS data supports this: at 1080p Low, the system hits 147.6 FPS, which shows the CPU can drive high frame rates, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU drops to 23.5 FPS, which is purely a GPU limitation.

The nearest rival combos would rank similarly. A combo with a Ryzen 5 7500F and an RTX 2060 would score nearly identically, as would a combo with the 8400F and an RTX 3050 OEM. The 0.2% to 0.8% benchmark deltas are too small to shift the rank meaningfully. For a builder on a limited budget, this combo is a functional 1080p machine, but the database's ranking makes it clear that it is not a high-end option for Fivem.
