How This Combo Ranks

The data places this configuration at rank 90 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This is a strong result, putting the system in the top percentile of all tested hardware pairings. The high rank is primarily driven by the RTX 5090’s immense computational power, as the GPU’s 92nd percentile standing among all GPUs significantly outweighs the CPU’s more modest 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs.

The gap between this combo and the median is substantial. The measured frame rates at 1080p, for instance, exceed 300 FPS on Low settings, which indicates the system is operating far beyond the requirements of most displays. Even at the most demanding tested configuration — 4K Ultra — the average FPS of 67 is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This rank suggests that for Fivem, this hardware combination is in the upper echelon of performance, though not the absolute fastest, as 89 other combos have posted higher scores.

The ranking becomes more impressive when considering the CPU’s relatively lower standing. The Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 part with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, but its 77th percentile ranking indicates that many CPUs outperform it. Despite this, the combo still manages to rank in the 90th spot, which highlights how GPU-bound Fivem is in this configuration. The data suggests that the RTX 5090 is doing the heavy lifting, and the CPU is sufficient to avoid becoming a major limiting factor at most settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals a clear division of labor. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 325 FPS on Low settings, 297 FPS on Medium, 238 FPS on High, and 185 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 248 FPS on Low, 196 FPS on Medium, 157 FPS on High, and 122 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the numbers fall further to 138 FPS on Low, 109 FPS on Medium, 87 FPS on High, and 67 FPS on Ultra.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction of roughly 25-35% in frame rates across all presets. This is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance, where the rendering resolution directly impacts the workload on the graphics card. The RTX 5090’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for any resolution, so the bottleneck at higher resolutions is purely the GPU’s shading and rasterization throughput.

However, the scaling from 1440p to 4K tells a slightly different story. The frame rate drop is larger in percentage terms, particularly at Low settings where 248 FPS at 1440p falls to 138 FPS at 4K — a 44% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 122 FPS to 67 FPS, a 45% reduction. This steeper decline at 4K suggests that the GPU is being pushed closer to its limits, but the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions.

At 1080p Low, the system hits 325 FPS, which is exceptionally high. At this point, the CPU’s single-thread performance, measured at 951 in 3dmark_single_thread and 2943 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, becomes the potential limiting factor. The data shows that the CPU holds up well enough to maintain over 300 FPS, but the frame rate ceiling at 1080p is likely set by the processor rather than the GPU. The RTX 5090 could theoretically render even more frames, but the Ryzen 5 8400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads cap the output.

At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant component. The RTX 5090’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate are fully utilized, and the frame rates scale predictably with resolution. The CPU’s influence diminishes as the GPU workload increases, which is why the 4K Ultra result of 67 FPS is so close to the 60 FPS threshold — it is the GPU hitting its performance envelope, not the CPU.

The Verdict

This system can absolutely run Fivem, and it does so with authority. The verdict data shows that all four settings presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable at every resolution tested, from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the lowest measured average is 67 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is the most demanding configuration in the dataset.

At 1920x1080, the system is massively overqualified. Even at Ultra settings, the average FPS is 185, which is more than triple the playable threshold. The 1080p Low preset reaches 325 FPS, making this combo ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, though the CPU may limit the absolute maximum. At 2560x1440, the system remains exceptionally fast, with Ultra settings hitting 122 FPS and Low settings reaching 248 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot for the combo, offering high visual fidelity and frame rates that exceed the needs of any current display.

At 3840x2160, the system still clears the playable threshold with room to spare. The Ultra preset averages 67 FPS, which is 7 FPS above the 60 FPS minimum. The High preset provides a more comfortable margin at 87 FPS, while Medium reaches 109 FPS and Low hits 138 FPS. For 4K gaming, this combo delivers a smooth experience at any preset, though players who demand a strict 60 FPS minimum with no dips might prefer the High preset for its 20 FPS buffer over Ultra.

The data indicates that this is a high-end system that will not struggle with Fivem under any tested conditions. The only consideration is that the CPU, which ranks in the 77th percentile, is not the strongest available, but it does not prevent the system from achieving playable frame rates at any resolution or preset. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V, this hardware is more than enough to handle the most demanding player-created content.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearby alternatives that would behave similarly in this system. The Ryzen 5 8400F’s closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores 24964 in average benchmarks — just 0.2% lower than the 8400F’s 25005. This means swapping the 8400F for the 7500F would result in virtually identical frame rates in Fivem, as the performance delta is negligible. The Intel Core i7-11850H and Intel Core i7-13620H are also within 0.4% of the 8400F’s score, so any of these CPUs would produce nearly the same results.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090’s nearest rival is the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, which is 0.3% slower. The Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB is 0.6% slower, and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is 1.1% slower. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X is 1.4% faster than the RTX 5090, making it the closest performer that would slightly exceed the RTX 5090’s frame rates. However, these alternatives are not direct consumer equivalents — the Tesla P100 is a datacenter card, and the RX 6850M XT is a mobile GPU. For a desktop gaming system, the RTX 5090 is the top performer in its immediate benchmark cluster.

Because the CPU and GPU score so closely to their rivals, the overall system performance would be nearly identical if any of these alternatives were substituted. The 0.2-1.4% deltas are within the margin of error for most games, meaning a system with a Ryzen 5 7500F and a Tesla P100 would produce frame rates within a few FPS of this combo. The practical takeaway is that the exact model matters less than the tier of hardware, and this combo sits at the top of that tier for Fivem.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra at every resolution tested. At 3840x2160, Ultra settings deliver an average of 67 FPS, which is the highest visual quality available while still clearing the playable threshold. The High preset offers 87 FPS, Medium 109 FPS, and Low 138 FPS, but Ultra is the best choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings average 122 FPS, providing a significant buffer above the 60 FPS threshold. This makes Ultra the clear recommendation for 1440p, as the frame rate is high enough for smooth gameplay on most monitors. The High preset hits 157 FPS, Medium 196 FPS, and Low 248 FPS, but none of these are necessary given the Ultra preset’s strong performance.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings reach 185 FPS, which is far above the 60 FPS requirement. This is the best settings choice for 1080p, as it offers the maximum visual quality while maintaining a frame rate that exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. The High preset hits 238 FPS, Medium 297 FPS, and Low 325 FPS, but the Ultra preset provides the best balance of image quality and speed. In all cases, the system has enough headroom to run the game at its highest settings without any risk of dropping below the playable threshold.
