Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a strong Fivem experience across common gaming resolutions, with the data showing a clear performance ceiling at 4K. Benchmark results indicate that this combination handles 1080p and 1440p with ease, while 4K requires a compromise in graphical fidelity to maintain smooth frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this CPU-GPU pairing in Fivem shows a consistent pattern of performance scaling across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the combo produces its highest frame rates. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 201, representing the absolute peak performance of this configuration. Moving up to Medium settings, the average drops to 159 FPS, with a minimum of 135 and a maximum of 183 FPS. High settings yield an average of 127 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset still maintains a robust 99 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. Low settings deliver an average of 133 FPS, which is a 68 FPS drop compared to the same settings at 1080p. Medium settings average 105 FPS, with a minimum of 89 and a maximum of 120 FPS. High settings produce an 84 FPS average, and Ultra settings settle at 65 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p indicates a roughly 34% reduction in average FPS across most presets, which aligns with the additional rendering workload.

The 3840x2160 resolution presents a significant challenge for this hardware combination. Low settings are the only preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS, hitting 74 FPS. Medium settings drop to a 58 FPS average, with a minimum of 49 and a maximum of 67 FPS, showing noticeable frame time variance. High settings average only 46 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 36 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 38 FPS, demonstrating that the RTX 5060's 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus become limiting factors at this resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold for this analysis is 60 FPS, and the data reveals which settings meet that criterion at each resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the threshold comfortably. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 99 FPS. This means players can max out all graphical options at 1080p without any concern for frame rate drops below the playable mark.

At 2560x1440, the situation is similar but with a narrower margin. Ultra settings average 65 FPS, which is 5 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. This makes Ultra the best playable setting at this resolution, though the margin is slim. High settings provide more headroom at 84 FPS, and Medium offers 105 FPS for those who prefer higher refresh rates. Low settings reach 133 FPS, which could be beneficial for competitive play.

The 3840x2160 resolution tells a different story. The verdict data shows that Low is the only playable setting, with an average of 74 FPS. Medium settings fall below the threshold at 58 FPS, and High and Ultra are not viable at 46 FPS and 36 FPS respectively. This means 4K gaming requires significant graphical compromises, and even then, the frame rate is only 14 FPS above the minimum playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU divide their responsibilities in Fivem. The Ryzen 5 8400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, provides substantial single-thread performance that handles the game's simulation and networking logic. The CPU benchmarks support this, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 and a multi-core score of 20851, placing it in the 77th percentile among all CPUs.

The GPU's role becomes more prominent as resolution increases. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all settings, suggesting that the RTX 5060 is not fully saturated. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 102 FPS, which indicates that the GPU has ample headroom to handle increased graphical demands. At 1440p, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 68 FPS, showing that the GPU is working harder. At 4K, the gap shrinks further to 38 FPS, and the overall performance drops significantly, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck.

The CPU's influence is most visible in the high frame rate scenarios. At 1080p Low settings, the 201 FPS average suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to maintain very high frame rates. The Ryzen 5 8400F's single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and PassMark single-thread score of 3685, supports this observation. The CPU's 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth contribute to its ability to handle the game's data streaming requirements.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank for this CPU-GPU pairing in Fivem is 1637 out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it in the 44th percentile of all tested systems. This mid-pack ranking reflects the balanced nature of the Ryzen 5 8400F and RTX 5060 combination. The CPU sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, but the combined performance in this specific game places the system slightly below the median of all tested combos.

This ranking suggests that while the individual components are above average, the combination does not excel in Fivem compared to other pairings. The game's multiplayer nature and its reliance on server-side processing may limit the benefits of high-end hardware, as the frame rates are often constrained by factors other than raw compute power. The data shows that the system performs well at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results drag down the overall ranking relative to combos that feature more powerful GPUs.

The nearest rival CPUs to the Ryzen 5 8400F include the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F with a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Core i7-11850H at 0.3%, and the Intel Core i7-13620H at 0.4%. These small deltas indicate that the 8400F's performance is closely matched by these alternatives, and swapping to any of them would produce nearly identical results in Fivem. The AMD EPYC 9474F shows a delta of -0.4%, meaning the 8400F performs slightly better than this server-oriented chip.

The Verdict

The verdict data provides a clear answer for each resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra settings achieving 99 FPS. This resolution offers the best experience, allowing players to enable every graphical feature while maintaining frame rates well above the 60 FPS threshold. The system can handle any setting at this resolution without compromise.

At 2560x1440, all presets are also playable, with Ultra settings averaging 65 FPS. This is above the playable threshold but leaves little margin for demanding scenes or intense multiplayer moments. High settings at 84 FPS provide a safer buffer, while Medium at 105 FPS and Low at 133 FPS offer increasingly higher refresh rates for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable at Low settings, which average 74 FPS. This is 14 FPS above the threshold, but Medium settings fall below at 58 FPS. Players who prioritize 4K resolution must accept Low settings and still face potential frame rate dips in busy areas. The RTX 5060's 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 448 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for higher quality presets at this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU provide similar performance profiles. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is the closest match, with an average benchmark score of 24964 compared to the 8400F's 25005, a delta of only 0.2%. The Intel Core i7-11850H and Core i7-13620H are also within 0.4% of the 8400F's average score, making them viable alternatives for Fivem. The AMD EPYC 9474F is slightly slower, with a delta of -0.4%, but still in the same performance class.

On the GPU side, the nearest rivals show interesting results. The AMD Radeon 860M has an average score of 26401, which is 0.3% higher than the RTX 5060's 26331. The NVIDIA GeForce MX550 scores 26421, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary is 0.8% higher at 26553, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is 1.2% lower at 26011. These deltas are all small, meaning that swapping to any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, though architectural differences may affect specific scenarios.
