Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a consistently high-refresh-rate experience in Fivem across all tested resolutions, with the data showing that even the most demanding preset at 4K remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Measured results place this combination in the 177th position out of 3707 tested combos, indicating strong overall performance for this specific title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces exceptional frame rates that scale predictably with preset selection. The Low preset yields an average of 322.9 FPS, which represents the absolute ceiling for this pairing at this resolution. Moving to Medium drops performance to 280.2 FPS, while the High preset still maintains a robust 220.1 FPS average. The Ultra preset, which represents the most demanding configuration, delivers 171.6 FPS on average. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, with Ultra producing roughly 53% of the Low preset’s frame rate, yet even this lower figure remains far beyond what most displays can utilize.

Stepping up to 2560x1440 introduces a measurable performance penalty across all settings. The Low preset averages 233.4 FPS, which is a 28% reduction compared to the same settings at 1080p. Medium follows at 181.4 FPS, High at 146.6 FPS, and Ultra at 114.4 FPS. The scaling pattern here is consistent: each preset tier at 1440p performs similarly to the next tier down at 1080p. For instance, Ultra at 1440p (114.4 FPS) sits very close to High at 1080p (220.1 FPS) in relative terms, though the absolute numbers remain high enough that no preset at this resolution dips below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens considerably. The Low preset still manages a strong 130.4 FPS average, while Medium drops to 102.8 FPS. High produces 80.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 64.8 FPS. This represents the first resolution where the Ultra preset approaches the playability boundary, though it still clears it with a comfortable margin. The transition from 1440p to 4K shows an average performance reduction of roughly 44% across all presets, which is a typical scaling factor for a GPU-bound scenario at this resolution class.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice for maximum visual fidelity, as the data shows it maintains an average of 171.6 FPS. This is far above the 60 FPS playability threshold, leaving ample headroom for any display with a high refresh rate. Even with all settings maximized, the framerate remains smooth and consistent.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings again provide the best experience, delivering 114.4 FPS on average. The performance drop from 1080p Ultra is notable — roughly 33% — but the resulting frame rate is still well within high-refresh territory. Players using 144Hz or even 165Hz monitors would find this acceptable, though those with 240Hz panels might prefer High settings at 146.6 FPS for a more consistently fluid experience.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset remains the recommended choice, averaging 64.8 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra settings approach the 60 FPS boundary, but the margin is still positive. For users who prioritize absolute smoothness over maximum visual quality, the High preset at 80.2 FPS offers a safer buffer, while Medium at 102.8 FPS provides even more headroom. The data indicates that all four presets at 4K are playable, but Ultra is the most demanding option that stays above the threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals a clear shift in workload distribution. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more prominent role, as evidenced by the relatively small gaps between Low and Medium presets (322.9 vs 280.2 FPS) compared to the larger drop from Medium to Ultra (280.2 to 171.6 FPS). The Ryzen 5 8400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, appears capable of feeding the RTX 5080 adequately at this resolution, though the diminishing returns between Low and Medium suggest some engine-level CPU limitations are emerging.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU becomes increasingly dominant. The frame rate drops from 233.4 FPS at Low to 181.4 FPS at Medium, a 22% reduction, which is more pronounced than the 13% drop seen at 1080p between the same two presets. This trend continues at 3840x2160, where the Low-to-Medium transition costs 21% performance (130.4 to 102.8 FPS), and the Medium-to-High transition costs 22% (102.8 to 80.2 FPS). The consistent percentage losses at 4K indicate that the RTX 5080 is the primary bottleneck, with its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth being exercised more heavily as pixel count rises.

The CPU’s influence is most visible in the 1080p results, where the RTX 5080’s raw compute power (56.28 TFLOPS FP32) cannot be fully utilized due to game logic and draw call overhead. At 4K, however, the GPU’s 10752 shading units become the limiting factor, and the CPU’s role diminishes. Benchmark data for the Ryzen 5 8400F shows a single-thread score of 3685 in PassMark and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851, indicating solid per-core performance that handles the CPU-bound sections of Fivem at lower resolutions without major issues.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the benchmark database show very tight clustering around the Ryzen 5 8400F’s average score of 25005. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24964, just 0.2% lower, making it a nearly identical performer in synthetic tests. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.3% lower), and the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (0.4% lower). On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, which is 0.4% higher. These deltas are negligible in real-world gaming scenarios, so users upgrading from any of these chips would see no meaningful difference in Fivem performance when paired with the same GPU.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5080’s average benchmark score of 56083 is closely matched by several AMD offerings. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, just 0.6% lower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698 (0.7% lower). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X trails by 2.3% with a score of 54828. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, which is 2.2% higher than the RTX 5080, making it a slightly faster alternative in synthetic workloads. However, these differences are small enough that in-game performance for Fivem would be nearly indistinguishable between these GPUs, especially given the high frame rates already achieved.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 8400F and RTX 5080 achieves a rank of 177 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 4.8% of all configurations in the database. This ranking reflects the strong synergy between the two components for this particular game, which appears to favor the RTX 5080’s substantial rasterization throughput. The rank is notably higher than what the individual component percentiles might suggest — the CPU sits at the 77th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is at the 87th percentile. The combination outperforms both individual percentile rankings, indicating that Fivem’s engine responds particularly well to the RTX 5080’s architecture.

Given that this rank is derived from measured data rather than theoretical estimates, it provides concrete evidence that the system handles Fivem’s multiplayer workloads efficiently. The gap between this combo and the top-ranked configurations is likely attributable to CPUs with higher single-thread performance, as Fivem’s netcode and entity management tend to be CPU-sensitive at lower resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can definitively run Fivem with excellent performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra maintains frame rates well above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 171.6 FPS. The 2560x1440 resolution sees the same pattern, with Ultra delivering 114.4 FPS and even the most demanding settings remaining far from any playability concerns. At 3840x2160, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra being the only setting that comes close, averaging 64.8 FPS.

The verdict data confirms that Ultra settings are the best choice at every resolution, as the lowest recorded average is 64.8 FPS at 4K. For users with high-refresh-rate displays, the system offers substantial headroom at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K users can enjoy max settings with a comfortable margin above the playability threshold. The only scenario where users might consider lowering settings is if they desire frame rates above 100 FPS at 4K, in which case High settings at 80.2 FPS or Medium at 102.8 FPS would be appropriate.
