Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a robust performance profile for Fivem, with benchmark data showing that the combination scales effectively from 1080p up to 4K. The measured results indicate that this system is capable of exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold at the highest settings for 1440p and 1080p, while 4K requires a reduction in graphical fidelity to maintain smooth gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides average FPS figures across three resolutions and four quality presets, with no minimum or maximum frame rate data available for any configuration. At 1920x1080, the performance envelope is expansive. The Low preset produces an average of 249 FPS, which drops to 198.2 FPS on Medium, 159.6 FPS on High, and 123.3 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is substantial, representing a 50.4% reduction in average frame rate when moving to the most demanding preset.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the averages remain high but show a predictable decline. The Low preset yields 162.5 FPS, Medium delivers 128.7 FPS, High produces 100.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 77.3 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across presets; for instance, Ultra performance drops by 37.3% when moving from 1080p to 1440p, while Low experiences a 34.7% reduction.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 3080 begins to show its limits with this CPU. The Low preset still manages 91.5 FPS, but Medium falls to 71.2 FPS. High drops to 56.5 FPS, which sits below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Ultra bottoms out at 45.4 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K is severe for the higher presets: High loses 43.8% of its average FPS, and Ultra drops by 41.3%. Even the Low preset sees a 43.7% reduction when moving from 1440p to 4K, indicating that resolution scaling has a dominant effect on performance regardless of settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the objective is to identify the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed the threshold, but the Ultra preset is the clear choice, delivering an average of 123.3 FPS. This leaves ample headroom above the 60 FPS minimum, suggesting that the system is not stressed at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies with an average of 77.3 FPS. While this is lower than the 1080p result, it still provides a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. The High preset at this resolution offers 100.5 FPS, but since Ultra remains playable, it is the recommended selection for maximum visual quality.

The situation changes at 3840x2160. Here, the Ultra preset averages 45.4 FPS, which is unplayable, and High at 56.5 FPS also falls short of 60 FPS. The Medium preset becomes the best playable option, achieving 71.2 FPS. The Low preset is also playable at 91.5 FPS, but Medium provides a better balance of visual fidelity and performance. The verdict data confirms this, listing both Low and Medium as playable settings for 4K, with Medium designated as the best settings at 71.2 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results reveal how the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, with the Low preset reaching 249 FPS. Such high output suggests that the CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 8400F with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently at this resolution. The single-thread performance, as indicated by a 3DMark single-thread score of 951, is sufficient for the game's logic at these frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop by roughly one-third across all presets, which points to the GPU becoming more of a limiting factor. The RTX 3080's 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are tasked with rendering more pixels, and the scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU still has headroom, as evidenced by the 162.5 FPS on Low, but the workload is clearly shifting toward the graphics card.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant constraint. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows in absolute terms, with a difference of 46.1 FPS at 4K compared to 125.7 FPS at 1080p. This indicates that at 4K, even the lowest settings require substantial GPU resources, and the CPU's contribution to overall performance is diminished. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, with its 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, is not the bottleneck at this resolution; the RTX 3080's raw throughput, rated at 29.77 TFLOPS, is what determines the frame rate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide context for its position in the market. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24964, which is nearly identical to the 8400F's 25005, with a delta of 0.2%. This means that swapping to the 7500F would yield virtually no change in gaming performance for Fivem. Similarly, the Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.3% lower), and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (0.4% lower). The AMD EPYC 9474F scores slightly higher at 25103, a 0.4% difference, but this is a server-class chip and not a typical gaming alternative.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are less obvious in terms of gaming equivalence. The NVIDIA P106-100 has an average score of 23249, which is 0.3% lower than the RTX 3080's 23172 in the passmark G3D test, but this delta is misleading given the architectural differences. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 and AMD Radeon RX 6600M score 23250 and 23273, respectively, with deltas of -0.3% and -0.4%. The AMD Radeon R9 M290X rounds out the list at 23276. These scores suggest that in synthetic benchmarks, these GPUs perform similarly, but the RTX 3080's feature set, including 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores, is not reflected in these comparisons. For Fivem specifically, the measured FPS data shows that the RTX 3080 is capable of high frame rates, so users with these rival GPUs might expect similar average FPS numbers, though not necessarily the same feature support.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 holds a rank of 1086 out of 3707 total combos for Fivem. This places it in the 29.3rd percentile of all tested systems, meaning that roughly 70% of other combinations perform better in this game. The ranking reflects the overall balance of the system; while the RTX 3080 is a strong GPU, the CPU is not the top-tier option available, and other combos with higher-end processors or newer graphics cards will achieve higher frame rates. The percentile ranking for the CPU alone is 77, indicating that it outperforms 77% of all CPUs in the database, while the GPU's percentile is 68. The combination's rank suggests that in Fivem, the GPU's relative weakness compared to the CPU's strength is the limiting factor in the overall score.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the experience varies significantly by resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is overqualified, with the Ultra preset achieving 123.3 FPS and the Low preset reaching 249 FPS. Every preset is playable, and the best settings are Ultra. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset still delivers 77.3 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold, so all presets are playable, with Ultra being the recommended choice. At 3840x2160, the system cannot handle the Ultra preset, which averages 45.4 FPS, nor the High preset at 56.5 FPS. The Medium preset, at 71.2 FPS, is the most demanding playable option. The verdict data confirms that Low and Medium are playable at 4K, with Medium being the best settings. For users with a 4K display, sticking to Medium or lower is necessary for smooth performance, while 1440p and 1080p users can enjoy maximum settings without issue.
