Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 shows a clear, resolution-driven performance curve. At 1920x1080, the combination delivers an average of 76.7 FPS on Low settings, 60.7 FPS on Medium, 50 FPS on High, and 35.8 FPS on Ultra. The step from Low to Medium costs 16 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs another 10.7 FPS, and High to Ultra sheds 14.2 FPS. The Low preset is the only setting that maintains a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold, while Medium lands essentially right at it.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop across the board. Low settings produce 47.7 FPS, Medium 42.1 FPS, High 31.7 FPS, and Ultra 23.1 FPS. The scaling between presets is consistent: Low to Medium loses 5.6 FPS, Medium to High loses 10.4 FPS, and High to Ultra loses 8.6 FPS. None of these averages reach the 60 FPS threshold, so the 1440p resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay at any tested preset.

At 3840x2160, the results are decisively below playability. Low settings average 28.6 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 19.8 FPS, and Ultra 13.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 3.6 FPS, Medium to High is 5.2 FPS, and High to Ultra is 6 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the single lowest result in the entire dataset, at 13.8 FPS. There are no minimum or maximum FPS values recorded for any resolution or preset, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates.

The overall pattern is straightforward: the i5-10400F and RX 570 combination is only viable at 1080p, and even then only on Low or Medium settings. The 4K results are uniformly poor, with the best 4K preset (Low) still delivering less than half the frame rate of the best 1080p preset (Low).

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals which component dominates in Fivem. The CPU, Intel Core i5-10400F, has a 3DMark single-thread score of 688 and a multi-thread score of 4748 in the 16-thread test. The GPU, AMD Radeon RX 570, has a Geekbench Vulkan score of 42752 and an OpenCL score of 32084. The frame rate drops from 1080p to 1440p and then to 4K are steep, which indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter as pixel count rises.

At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at Low and Medium settings, where the averages are 76.7 FPS and 60.7 FPS respectively. But at High and Ultra, the GPU load increases and the frame rates fall to 50 FPS and 35.8 FPS, suggesting that the RX 570's shading units (2048) and texture units (128) are saturated. The GPU's pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s and texture rate is 159.2 GTexel/s, which at 4K resolution are insufficient for high settings.

At 1440p, the frame rate at Low (47.7 FPS) is 38% lower than at 1080p Low (76.7 FPS). This is a larger proportional drop than the resolution increase alone (1.78x pixel count), which points to the GPU being the bottleneck. The CPU, with 6 cores and 12 threads and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, is not the limiting factor at these settings, because the frame rate falls consistently as resolution increases regardless of preset.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly overwhelmed. The RX 570's memory bandwidth is 224.0 GB/s and the memory bus is 256 bit, but the 4 GB GDDR5 frame buffer and the sheer pixel throughput required at 3840x2160 push the averages down to between 13.8 and 28.6 FPS. The CPU's role is secondary: even at Ultra 4K (13.8 FPS), the CPU is not the constraint, as evidenced by the fact that the same CPU produces 76.7 FPS at 1080p Low.

The verdict is that the GPU dominates performance in Fivem at all resolutions above 1080p, and at 1080p High and Ultra the GPU also becomes the primary limit. The CPU only matters at 1080p Low and Medium, where the frame rates are high enough that a weaker CPU might start to matter, but with this i5-10400F, the GPU is still the deciding factor.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-10400F, based on average benchmark scores, provide context for CPU-side performance. The Xeon 6756E has an average score of 14163, which is 0.2% lower than the i5-10400F's 14185. The Core 7 160UL scores 14232, 0.3% higher. The EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% lower, and the Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% higher. These deltas are all within 0.6%, meaning the i5-10400F is statistically indistinguishable from these four CPUs in overall benchmark terms. In Fivem, any of these CPUs would produce essentially the same frame rates when paired with the RX 570, because the GPU is the bottleneck in most tested configurations.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 28766. Its nearest rivals include the RX 6800M with a score of 28874 (0.4% higher), the Radeon R9 M295X with 28580 (0.7% lower), the RX 470 with 28996 (0.8% higher), and the Quadro RTX 8000 with 28421 (1.2% lower). The RX 470 is particularly relevant because it is the same Polaris architecture and likely has nearly identical Fivem performance. The R9 M295X is a mobile GPU from an older generation but scores within 0.7%, so its Fivem behavior would be very close. The Quadro RTX 8000, despite being a workstation card, is within 1.2% in raw average score, but its driver and feature set may differ in real-time gaming workloads.

For the full system combination, a user with an i5-10400F paired with any of these four GPUs would see Fivem frame rates within a few percent of the measured data. Conversely, a user with the RX 570 but a CPU from the rival list (Xeon 6756E, Core 7 160UL, EPYC 7552, or Ryzen 3 7320C) would also see nearly identical results, because the GPU limits performance at 1440p and 4K, and even at 1080p High and Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3514 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 5% of all tested combos, which is consistent with the measured frame rates. The combo rank reflects the fact that the RX 570 is an end-of-life GPU (release date 2017-04-17) and the i5-10400F, while a capable 6-core CPU, is not enough to compensate for the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions.

The rank of 3514 out of 3707 means that 193 combos perform worse, and 3513 perform better. Given the measured FPS data, this low rank is driven primarily by the GPU. The i5-10400F itself is in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 68% of CPUs in the database, but the RX 570 is in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, yet the combination still ranks very low in Fivem specifically. This suggests that Fivem is a demanding title for the GPU at higher resolutions, and the 4 GB VRAM of the RX 570 is likely a contributing factor.

The combination's rank is also consistent with the verdict data: only 1080p Low and Medium are playable, and the best playable setting (Medium) averages 60.7 FPS, which barely clears the 60 FPS threshold. The rank of 3514 is a clear signal that this hardware is not suited for high-fidelity or high-resolution Fivem play.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 1920x1080, the playable settings are Low and Medium. The best playable setting is Medium, with an average FPS of 60.7, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 76.7 FPS, giving a comfortable margin. High and Ultra at 1080p are not playable, with averages of 50 FPS and 35.8 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, there are no playable settings. The best average is 47.7 FPS on Low, which is 12.3 FPS below the threshold. Medium (42.1 FPS), High (31.7 FPS), and Ultra (23.1 FPS) are all further below. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse: Low averages 28.6 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 19.8 FPS, and Ultra 13.8 FPS. None of these approach playability.

The data indicates that this combination is a 1080p Low-to-Medium machine for Fivem. Users who prioritize smooth gameplay should stick to 1080p with Medium settings, as it delivers 60.7 FPS on average. Those who want higher visual fidelity will need to accept frame rates below 60 FPS, and at 1440p or 4K, the game will not be playable by the 60 FPS standard.
