Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a strong performance profile for Fivem, with the data showing a clear separation between CPU-bound and GPU-bound scenarios. The CPU, with a 77th percentile ranking among all processors, and the GPU, at a 61st percentile, form a balanced pairing where the RTX 3070 is the primary driver of frame rates in this multiplayer title. The measured FPS data indicates that this system is highly capable at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K gaming requires settings adjustments to maintain playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F sits within a tight cluster of comparable processors based on average benchmark scores. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores a 24964 average, a mere 0.2 percent difference from the 8400F’s 25005. This means that in CPU-bound scenarios, swapping between these two chips would yield virtually indistinguishable performance. The Intel Core i7-11850H and Intel Core i7-13620H are also close, with average scores of 24935 and 24911, representing 0.3 percent and 0.4 percent differences respectively. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F has a slightly higher average score of 25103, putting it 0.4 percent ahead of the 8400F. For practical purposes, any of these processors would behave nearly identically in Fivem, and the choice between them would come down to platform features rather than raw gaming performance.

For the graphics card, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070’s nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, which posts an average score of 17083 versus the 3070’s 17208, a delta of 0.7 percent. This indicates that the RX 7600 XT would produce very similar frame rates in GPU-bound situations. Interestingly, the benchmark data also lists the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 and AMD Radeon HD 7970M as close rivals with average scores of 17037 and 17019, showing 1 percent and 1.1 percent differences. These are older architectures, so while their synthetic scores are similar, real-world feature support like DirectX 12 Ultimate and ray tracing would differ significantly. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c is the only rival that scores higher at 17468, but it is a compute-oriented card not suited for gaming. When building or upgrading, the RX 7600 XT is the most relevant alternative to the RTX 3070 for Fivem.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results for Fivem show that the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial, with the average FPS dropping from 215.4 to 103.9. This 111.5 FPS gap indicates that the GPU is heavily tasked with rendering the visual effects and geometry at higher presets, but the CPU is still able to feed it enough data to maintain high frame rates. The Ryzen 5 8400F’s single-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 951, is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck at 1080p.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS at Low settings is 140.1, which is 75.3 FPS lower than at 1080p Low. This scaling shows that the GPU is now the limiting factor, as the increased pixel count demands more from the RTX 3070. The Ultra preset at 1440p still delivers 68.2 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom to handle the game at this resolution with all settings maxed out. At 3840x2160, the GPU’s dominance is absolute. The Low preset yields 81.1 FPS, but Ultra drops to 37.4 FPS. The CPU’s contribution is minimal here; the RTX 3070’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are the primary constraints. The data shows that at 4K, only the Low preset maintains playable frame rates, confirming that the GPU is the component to upgrade if 4K gaming is a priority.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings. At 1920x1080, the system excels across the board. The Low preset delivers an average of 215.4 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suitable for competitive play. Medium settings yield 170 FPS, High drops to 134.7 FPS, and Ultra maintains 103.9 FPS. All of these values are well above the 60 FPS threshold, and even the most demanding Ultra preset leaves significant headroom for multiplayer scenarios where frame rates can fluctuate.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings produce 140.1 FPS, Medium drops to 113.4 FPS, and High comes in at 86 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only one that falls below the 100 FPS mark, but at 68.2 FPS, it still clears the playable threshold comfortably. This resolution is the sweet spot for this combination, as it offers a good balance between visual fidelity and frame rate. The gap between Low and Ultra is 71.9 FPS, which highlights the GPU’s workload scaling with settings.

The 3840x2160 results reveal the RTX 3070’s limitations at 4K. The Low preset delivers an average of 81.1 FPS, which is playable and even smooth. Medium settings drop to 58.3 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold, and High falls to 47.5 FPS. The Ultra preset is the worst performer at 37.4 FPS, which is not suitable for a smooth experience. The data shows a clear pattern: at 4K, the GPU is the bottleneck, and users must sacrifice visual quality to maintain playable frame rates. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 43.7 FPS, indicating that the settings scaling has a profound impact on performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem successfully at 1080p and 1440p with all settings, and at 4K with reduced settings. The verdict data confirms that the system is fully playable at 1920x1080 across High, Low, Medium, and Ultra presets, with the best experience at Ultra delivering 103.9 FPS on average. At 2560x1440, all four settings—High, Low, Medium, and Ultra—are playable, with Ultra achieving 68.2 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. For users with 1440p monitors, this is the ideal resolution to enjoy the game with maximum visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Only the Low preset is playable, with an average of 81.1 FPS. Medium falls to 58.3 FPS, just below the 60 FPS benchmark, and High and Ultra are not playable at 47.5 and 37.4 FPS respectively. The verdict explicitly lists Low as the only playable setting at 4K. This means that 4K users must compromise on visual fidelity to achieve smooth gameplay. For players who prioritize frame rate over graphics, the Low preset at 4K is acceptable, but those who want higher settings should consider a more powerful GPU or stick to 1440p. Overall, the combination is a solid choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

In the Fivem benchmark database, this combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 1629 out of 3707 tested combos. This places it in the upper half of all tested systems, specifically in the 44th percentile of the ranking distribution. The rank reflects the overall performance across all resolutions and settings, and it shows that this pairing is capable but not top-tier. The CPU’s 77th percentile ranking is higher than the GPU’s 61st percentile, which suggests that the RTX 3070 is the component holding back the overall score. For reference, the CPU’s nearest rival, the Ryzen 5 7500F, would likely produce a similar rank when paired with the same GPU, given the 0.2 percent performance difference. The rank of 1629 indicates that there are many faster combinations available, but also that this system outperforms a majority of tested configurations. Users looking for more headroom at 4K or higher Ultra settings would need to consider a GPU with more memory and bandwidth, as the RTX 3070’s 8 GB GDDR6 and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are the key constraints in this setup.
