Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT delivers a wide range of frame rates in Fivem, depending entirely on the resolution and graphics preset selected. The recorded data shows that this combination is broadly capable of high-refresh-rate play at standard resolutions, while 4K remains the only scenario where the user must make compromises to stay above the 60 FPS threshold. The measurements provide a clear picture of how the system scales from low to ultra settings, and the most demanding preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below the playable mark.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces extremely high frame rates across all presets. The Low preset averages 222.9 FPS, which is the highest recorded result for the entire dataset. Medium settings follow closely with an average of 207 FPS, while High settings yield 178.9 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset at this resolution maintains a strong average of 140.1 FPS. The spread between the lowest and highest preset is substantial: Ultra is 82.8 FPS slower than Low, indicating that the visual upgrades carry a measurable performance cost, though every setting is far beyond the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a noticeable step down from 1080p. The Low preset averages 186.3 FPS, which is 36.6 FPS lower than the same preset at 1080p. Medium averages 146.8 FPS, High averages 116.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 91.8 FPS. The pattern is consistent: each preset tier at 1440p sits roughly 30 to 50 FPS below its 1080p counterpart. The Ultra preset at 1440p still clears 60 FPS by a comfortable margin, delivering an average of 91.8 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes much steeper. The Low preset averages 103.2 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant reduction from the 186.3 FPS seen at 1440p Low. Medium drops to 81 FPS, and High falls to 63.7 FPS, barely above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration in the entire dataset that fails to reach playable performance, with an average of 48.5 FPS. This represents a 44.7 FPS difference between High and Ultra at 4K, a larger gap than at any other resolution.

The scaling between resolutions follows a predictable pattern. At 1080p, the system is likely rendering frames faster than the display pipeline can comfortably manage, with even Ultra averaging 140.1 FPS. At 1440p, the performance drops are proportional but leave ample headroom. At 4K, the GPU begins to feel the pressure of the higher pixel count, and the Ultra preset becomes the breaking point. The data does not include minimum or maximum frame rate values, so all analysis relies on average FPS figures, which still provide a consistent basis for comparing presets and resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the processor and the graphics card. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the Core i5-10400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, likely becomes a limiting factor in some presets. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 82.8 FPS, which suggests that the GPU has enough headroom to respond to graphics settings changes, but the CPU still keeps the system from reaching even higher peaks.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a clear GPU-bound trend. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 222.9 FPS to 186.3 FPS, a 36.6 FPS reduction. This is a relatively modest decline for a 77% increase in pixel count, indicating that the RX 7900 XT is still the dominant factor. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 91.8 FPS, which is 48.3 FPS lower than Ultra at 1080p. The consistent drops across all presets at 1440p confirm that the GPU is handling the increased resolution workload while the CPU maintains sufficient throughput.

At 3840x2160, the GPU role becomes even more pronounced. The Low preset at 4K averages 103.2 FPS, which is less than half of the 222.9 FPS at 1080p Low. This steep decline indicates that pixel throughput is now the primary constraint. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 48.5 FPS, which is the only sub-60 FPS result in the dataset. The narrowing gap between presets at 4K, where Low and Ultra differ by 54.7 FPS, suggests that the GPU is saturated and the CPU has more relative influence than at lower resolutions.

The benchmark results indicate that the CPU is sufficient to feed the GPU at all tested resolutions, but the balance shifts as resolution increases. At 1080p, the system is likely CPU-limited in certain scenarios, particularly at Low settings where the frame rate reaches 222.9 FPS. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, especially at Ultra where the average drops to 48.5 FPS. The data shows a healthy pairing where neither component completely starves the other, but the RX 7900 XT is the deciding factor for high-resolution performance.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is straightforward. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 140.1 FPS. This is far above the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the most demanding preset provides a smooth experience. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra averaging 91.8 FPS. This gives 1440p users the freedom to enable maximum settings without worrying about frame rate drops.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more nuanced. The playable settings are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best playable preset at an average of 63.7 FPS. This is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold, so users who want a safety margin might prefer Medium at 81 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 48.5 FPS and is not recommended for play. The verdict is clear: this PC can run Fivem at 60 FPS or higher at all tested resolutions, provided the user selects the appropriate preset at 4K.
