Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Fivem, with the data showing that every tested preset at every resolution clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The pairing of a mid-range Zen 4 processor with an enthusiast-class Ada Lovelace GPU produces a wide performance envelope, from 322.7 FPS at 1080p Low to 65.2 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating that the system is capable of leveraging the RTX 4090’s headroom while remaining responsive to CPU-bound scenarios.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals provide context for how the Ryzen 5 8400F behaves in this system. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24964, which is only 0.2% lower than the 8400F’s 25005 average. This near-identical performance means that swapping between these two processors would produce essentially the same FPS results in Fivem. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, a 0.3% delta, while the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, a 0.4% delta. These mobile-derived chips offer comparable compute throughput, though the data does not indicate any gaming-specific characteristics. On the higher end, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, which is 0.4% above the 8400F, but that server-class part is unlikely to appear in a desktop gaming configuration. The practical takeaway is that the Ryzen 5 8400F sits in a tight performance cluster where no rival deviates by more than 0.4%, meaning any of these alternatives would yield nearly identical frame rates when paired with the RTX 4090 in Fivem.

For the GPU side, the RTX 4090’s nearest rivals show a broader spread. The Intel Arc Pro A60 scores 60326, a 0.0% delta from the 4090’s 60347 average, which is surprising given the different market positions. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140, 0.3% lower, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896, which is 2.5% higher. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, 2.9% lower. These workstation-oriented GPUs are not typical gaming alternatives, but the benchmark data places their aggregate scores near the 4090. In practice, Fivem’s measured FPS would likely differ substantially due to driver optimizations and architecture differences, but the raw benchmark averages suggest that the RTX 4090’s compute level is matched by several professional cards. The 4090 itself ranks in the 88th percentile among all GPUs, while the 8400F ranks in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, indicating that the GPU is the stronger component relative to its peer group.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined system holds the 129th position out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 3.5% of all configurations in the database, which is a strong result for a pairing that includes a mid-range processor. The rank reflects the RTX 4090’s dominant role in pushing overall scores upward, as the GPU alone sits in the 88th percentile, whereas the CPU’s 77th percentile is lower. The data indicates that the combo’s rank is heavily influenced by the GPU’s ceiling, since Fivem’s frame rates remain high even at 4K Ultra where the CPU’s single-thread performance becomes more relevant. The 129th rank out of 3707 means that a vast majority of tested systems—3578 of them—produce lower average performance in this game. Only 128 combinations achieve better results, which likely involve higher-tier CPUs such as the Ryzen 9 or Core i9 series paired with the same RTX 4090. The gap between this combo and the top ranks is not quantified in the data, but the percentile positions of the individual components suggest that the CPU is the limiting factor for reaching the absolute top tier.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates scale down predictably with preset intensity. Low settings produce 135.3 FPS, Medium drops to 103.8 FPS, High reaches 85.2 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 65.2 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 31.5 FPS reduction, while the step from High to Ultra is a 20.0 FPS reduction, showing that each preset level imposes a meaningful load on the GPU. The data does not include min or max FPS values, so all analysis is based on averages.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are substantially higher. Low settings yield 242.9 FPS, Medium produces 192.2 FPS, High delivers 154.7 FPS, and Ultra still holds 119.5 FPS. The relative drop from Low to Ultra is 123.4 FPS, which is a 50.8% reduction. This resolution is where the RTX 4090’s bandwidth and compute resources are still abundant, allowing the CPU to feed frames efficiently.

At 1920x1080, the numbers become extreme. Low settings hit 322.7 FPS, Medium reaches 292.8 FPS, High maintains 230.0 FPS, and Ultra stays at 182.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 140.4 FPS, but even the lowest figure at this resolution is well above any refresh rate found on typical monitors. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K shows a consistent pattern: each resolution step roughly halves the frame rate at the same preset, though the exact ratios vary. For instance, 1080p Ultra at 182.3 FPS drops to 1440p Ultra at 119.5 FPS (a 34.4% reduction), then to 4K Ultra at 65.2 FPS (a 45.4% reduction from 1440p). This indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count increases, but the system never falls below the playable threshold.

The Verdict

The verdict data is unambiguous: this system can run Fivem at all tested resolutions and presets with average FPS above 60. At 3840x2160, Ultra settings produce 65.2 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a narrow 5.2 FPS margin. The other 4K presets—High at 85.2 FPS, Medium at 103.8 FPS, and Low at 135.3 FPS—all offer comfortable headroom. At 2560x1440, the best preset is Ultra with 119.5 FPS, which is nearly double the playability threshold. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 182.3 FPS, making the system overpowered for this resolution. The playable settings list for each resolution includes all four presets (High, Low, Medium, Ultra), confirming that no setting combination drops below 60 FPS. The bottleneck at 4K Ultra is the only point where the system approaches the threshold, but it does not cross it. For users prioritizing visual fidelity, 4K Ultra is viable; for users prioritizing frame rate, 1440p Ultra provides a high refresh rate experience, and 1080p Ultra exceeds the refresh rate capabilities of most monitors.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high—322.7 FPS at Low—which indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates. The RTX 4090 is not the limiting factor at this resolution; instead, the CPU’s single-thread performance and game engine overhead determine the ceiling. The Ryzen 5 8400F’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 and 3DMark single-thread score of 951 support this, as these metrics correlate with per-core performance in lightly-threaded scenes. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop by roughly 35-40% across presets, which is a larger reduction than the pixel count increase (1.78x more pixels). This suggests that the GPU is beginning to take on more responsibility, but the CPU still plays a significant role in maintaining high averages.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop further, with Ultra falling to 65.2 FPS. This 4K resolution has 4.5x more pixels than 1080p, yet the frame rate only drops to about one-fifth of the 1080p Low value. The GPU becomes the dominant factor here, as the RTX 4090’s raw compute and memory bandwidth are taxed heavily. The data shows that the GPU’s role increases with resolution, while the CPU’s role is most visible at 1080p where the system is not GPU-bound. The CPU’s multi-threaded scores (Cinebench R23 multicore at 20851, PassMark multithread at 24389) indicate that it can handle the game’s background threads, but Fivem’s primary rendering path is likely single-threaded, making the CPU’s single-core performance—which ranks in the 77th percentile—a potential constraint only at very high frame rates. The RTX 4090’s 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth are the resources that scale with resolution, and the measured FPS pattern confirms this: the GPU is the primary driver at 4K, while the CPU remains relevant at 1080p.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 65.2 FPS. This is the maximum quality option available, and it barely clears the threshold. The data does not provide any settings above Ultra, so this is the highest fidelity preset the game offers. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best setting with 119.5 FPS, providing a large margin of safety above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 182.3 FPS, which is the highest average among the three resolutions for the Ultra preset. In all cases, the best settings are the Ultra preset, but the margin varies: 5.2 FPS at 4K, 59.5 FPS at 1440p, and 122.3 FPS at 1080p. This means that at 4K, users must accept a narrow buffer against frame rate drops, while at lower resolutions the system has ample headroom to absorb any scene complexity spikes. The data does not include min FPS values, so the stability of these averages cannot be assessed, but the averages themselves are all above the playability threshold.
