Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F — Quad- a single file.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a high-end combination that delivers remarkably consistent frame rates across all tested resolutions in Fivem. The data shows a system that comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold at every preset, with the RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth proving more than sufficient for the multiplayer title's demands. The Ryzen 5 8400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 (Phoenix) architecture, keeps pace without becoming a bottleneck, even at lower resolutions where CPU overhead typically grows.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 shows its strength but also reveals the expected scaling curve. The Low preset delivers an average of 122 FPS, which drops to 96 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 82 FPS and maximum of 110 FPS. High settings produce 77 FPS average, while Ultra pulls exactly 60 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 62 FPS, indicating a substantial but manageable performance cost for maximum visual fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates jump significantly. Low settings produce 219 FPS average, Medium hits 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and maximum of 199 FPS, and High reaches 138 FPS. Ultra at 1440p still manages 107 FPS average, which is well above the playable threshold. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is steep: Ultra improves from 60 FPS to 107 FPS, a 78% increase, while Low jumps from 122 FPS to 219 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combination becomes nearly untouchable. Low settings reach 325 FPS average, Medium produces 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS and maximum of 302 FPS, and High delivers 210 FPS. Even Ultra at 1080p maintains 163 FPS average. The Medium preset's minimum of 223 FPS at 1080p is higher than the Ultra average at 1440p, highlighting how resolution dominates performance scaling in this title.

The measured data shows no min/max values for several presets, notably all Low, High, and Ultra entries except Medium. The Medium preset consistently provides the most complete frame time data across all three resolutions, with the 4K Medium showing a 28 FPS spread between minimum and maximum, 1440p Medium showing a 52 FPS spread, and 1080p Medium showing a 79 FPS spread.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages exactly 60 FPS. This is a tight margin, but it technically clears the playable threshold. For users who prefer headroom, High at 77 FPS or Medium at 96 FPS offer safer margins without sacrificing much visual quality.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best choice, averaging 107 FPS. This provides a comfortable 47 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the clear recommendation for 1440p users who want maximum settings without compromise. The data indicates no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 163 FPS, which is nearly triple the playable threshold. This is the definitive best setting for 1080p, as the system has ample performance headroom to run the game at maximum visual quality while still delivering extremely high frame rates. The 163 FPS average suggests this combination is suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions reveals which component carries the load. At 4K Ultra, the 60 FPS result aligns closely with the GPU's capabilities, as higher resolutions typically shift the bottleneck toward the graphics card. The RTX 4080's 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 280.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are the limiting factors at this resolution.

At 1440p and 1080p, the Ryzen 5 8400F's role becomes more significant. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and multi-thread score of 6165 indicate strong per-core performance, which matters for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The jump from 60 FPS at 4K Ultra to 107 FPS at 1440p Ultra suggests both components have headroom, but the GPU is still the primary constraint.

The 1080p results tell a different story. Ultra at 1080p hits 163 FPS, which is 103 FPS higher than 4K Ultra. This 2.7x improvement from a 4x reduction in pixel count indicates the GPU is no longer the sole bottleneck. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3685 and multithread score of 24389 show it can feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the frame rates plateau around the 163-325 FPS range depending on settings.

The comparison between Low and Ultra presets at each resolution further clarifies component roles. At 1080p, Low (325 FPS) versus Ultra (163 FPS) shows a 162 FPS difference, driven primarily by GPU workload changes. At 4K, Low (122 FPS) versus Ultra (60 FPS) shows a 62 FPS difference, a smaller absolute gap but a larger percentage difference. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is more heavily utilized, while at 1080p, the CPU's ability to maintain high frame rates becomes more apparent.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Ryzen 5 8400F's nearest rivals show very tight performance clustering. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24964 in average benchmark, just 0.2% below the 8400F's 25005. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.3% lower), and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (0.4% lower). On the higher side, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, which is 0.4% above. These deltas are negligible in real-world gaming, so any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Fivem.

For the GPU, the RTX 4080's closest competitor is the RTX 4080 SUPER, which scores 54209 versus the 4080's 54247, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 (1.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (2.6% higher) and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757 (2.7% higher). These differences are small enough that users would not notice a practical difference in Fivem's frame rates.

The percentile rankings place the CPU at the 77th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. This means the GPU is relatively stronger in its category than the CPU is in its own, which aligns with the observed performance scaling where the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Fivem, and it does so exceptionally well at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdict data confirms that all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at all three resolutions, with the only marginal result being 4K Ultra at exactly 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on Ultra with an average of 60 FPS, while High (77 FPS) and Medium (96 FPS) provide more comfortable margins. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 107 FPS, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 163 FPS, making this combination ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.

The data indicates that 4K Ultra is the only setting that approaches the playable threshold, and even then it just barely meets it. Users who prioritize frame rate consistency over absolute visual quality might prefer 4K High or Medium, but the system does not require any compromises to remain playable at 4K Ultra. The overall combo rank of 256 out of 3707 tested combinations places this system in the top 7% of all tested hardware pairings for Fivem.
