Fivem

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 67.6 FPS. High settings drop to 53.4 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Ultra sits at 40.8 FPS. Low settings run at 88.3 FPS, but Medium is the right call here because it delivers a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while still providing noticeably better visual quality than Low.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the situation opens up dramatically. Every preset clears the 60 FPS line, including Ultra at 80.5 FPS. The best settings for visual fidelity are Ultra, since the average frame rate stays well above the playable threshold. High runs at 103.2 FPS, Medium at 129.4 FPS, and Low at 158.6 FPS, so there is headroom at every tier.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), Ultra is the clear choice. It averages 117.6 FPS, which is nearly double the 60 FPS playable threshold. High runs at 152.7 FPS, Medium at 192.2 FPS, and Low at 221.9 FPS. With the GPU pushing past 117 FPS even at the highest preset, there is no reason to dial down settings unless the user prioritizes maximum frame rates for competitive play.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data for this combination shows a clear pattern: the GPU is the dominant factor at 4K, while the CPU becomes more relevant as resolution drops. At 3840x2160, the frame rate scales steeply with settings. Moving from Low (88.3 FPS) to Medium (67.6 FPS) costs roughly 23% performance, and from Medium to High (53.4 FPS) costs another 21%. That heavy scaling with preset quality is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario, where the Radeon RX 9070 is doing most of the work.

At 2560x1440, the same settings ladder shows a different shape. Low sits at 158.6 FPS, Medium at 129.4 FPS, High at 103.2 FPS, and Ultra at 80.5 FPS. The absolute numbers are higher, but the relative gaps between presets are similar. This still points to GPU dominance, though the Core i5-10400F is now feeding frames fast enough that the CPU is not the limiting factor at any preset.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates reach 221.9 FPS on Low and 192.2 FPS on Medium. These numbers are high enough that the CPU starts to matter more. The i5-10400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of sustaining high frame rates in Fivem, but the data suggests the GPU still has headroom at this resolution. The scaling from Low to Medium to High to Ultra is consistent, which indicates the RX 9070 remains the primary performance driver. Still, at 1080p Low, the 221.9 FPS average is approaching the point where a faster CPU could push even higher, so users targeting extreme frame rates at low settings should consider whether the processor becomes a secondary constraint.

Across all three resolutions, the pattern is straightforward: at 4K, the GPU dictates performance entirely; at 1440p, the GPU still leads but the CPU has enough throughput to keep up at every preset; at 1080p, the GPU remains ahead, but the CPU's single-thread performance becomes more relevant as frame rates climb past 150 FPS. The i5-10400F's 3DMark single-thread score of 688 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1451 indicate it handles Fivem's workload without bottlenecking at standard settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F sits very close to several other processors in the database. The Intel Xeon 6756E has an average benchmark score of 14163, which is 0.2% lower than the i5-10400F's 14185. That is effectively identical performance. The Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, 0.3% higher. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% higher. In practical terms, any of these would behave nearly the same in Fivem, though the Xeon and EPYC parts are server-oriented and the Ryzen 3 is a lower-tier mobile chip, so platform considerations matter more than raw performance here.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 has an average benchmark score of 23877. Its nearest rivals are all within about a point or two. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z scores 23736, 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S scores 24063, 0.8% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile scores 23628, 1.1% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER scores 24170, 1.2% higher. In Fivem specifically, these GPUs should produce frame rates very close to what the RX 9070 delivers at each resolution and preset. The RTX 2080 SUPER and RX 6800S are the closest matches on the higher side, while the GTX TITAN Z and RTX 3080 Mobile are slightly behind but still within a small margin.

The practical takeaway is that swapping in any of these alternatives would not meaningfully change the playability picture. At 4K, they would all land near the Medium preset at 60+ FPS. At 1440p and 1080p, they would all handle Ultra at 60+ FPS. The CPU alternatives similarly would not alter the bottleneck balance, since they all score within 0.6% of the i5-10400F on average benchmarks.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? Yes, and the answer depends on resolution. At 3840x2160, the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at Low and Medium settings. The best playable preset is Medium with an average of 67.6 FPS. High and Ultra fall short at 53.4 FPS and 40.8 FPS respectively, so 4K users should stick to Medium for a smooth experience.

At 2560x1440, every preset is playable. The best settings are Ultra at 80.5 FPS, which means the system can run the game at maximum visual quality while staying well above the 60 FPS line. Users who prefer higher frame rates can drop to High at 103.2 FPS or Medium at 129.4 FPS, but there is no playability concern at any tier.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable. Ultra runs at 117.6 FPS, which is more than enough for a smooth experience. High at 152.7 FPS and Medium at 192.2 FPS offer even more headroom for high-refresh-rate displays. Low at 221.9 FPS is there for users who want maximum frame rates in competitive scenarios.

In summary, this combination is a strong match for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, and it remains playable at 4K with medium settings. The GPU is the main performance driver across the board, but the CPU does not hold the system back at standard settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded averages are as follows: Low runs at 88.3 FPS, Medium at 67.6 FPS, High at 53.4 FPS, and Ultra at 40.8 FPS. The minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in the database, so only averages are available. The gap from Low to Ultra is substantial, with Ultra delivering less than half the frame rate of Low.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 158.6 FPS, Medium at 129.4 FPS, High at 103.2 FPS, and Ultra at 80.5 FPS. This resolution offers a good balance between visual quality and performance, with Ultra still comfortably above 60 FPS and Low approaching 160 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the averages are: Low at 221.9 FPS, Medium at 192.2 FPS, High at 152.7 FPS, and Ultra at 117.6 FPS. The system delivers strong performance at every preset, with even the most demanding settings producing nearly double the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this pairing of Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 ranks 1228 out of 3707 total combos. That places it in the upper third of all tested systems, which aligns with the measured frame rates. The rank reflects that this is a capable setup for Fivem, though not at the very top of the charts. The percentile data supports this: the CPU sits at the 68th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU sits at the 69th percentile among all GPUs. Both components are above average, and their combination produces solid results across all three resolutions.

The rank of 1228 out of 3707 means there are many systems that perform better, likely with higher-end CPUs or GPUs, but there are also many that perform worse. For a 6-core Comet Lake processor paired with a current-generation RDNA 4 GPU, the measured performance is consistent with what the component benchmarks suggest. The system does not overperform or underperform relative to its parts; it lands where the hardware averages would predict. Users looking at this combination should expect a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p, and a playable experience at 4K with medium settings, which is a reasonable outcome for this hardware pairing.
