Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the Intel Arc B580 is a mainstream desktop combination that has been measured in Fivem, the multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V. The recorded data shows a system that delivers smooth frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The combo ranks 2843rd out of 3707 tested configurations, and the scaling patterns across resolutions and settings point to the GPU as the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions.

FAQ

Q: What is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 71.5 FPS, which is the highest settings level that remains playable.

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 4K?

A: No. At 3840x2160, even the Low preset only reaches 54.4 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. No 4K setting clears 60 FPS.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: The combination ranks 2843rd out of 3707 tested combos, meaning it outperforms only 23.3% of the database. This places it in the lower portion of the ranking.

Q: What is the CPU's performance percentile?

A: The Intel Core i5-10400F sits at the 68th percentile compared to all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14185.

Q: What is the GPU's performance percentile?

A: The Intel Arc B580 also sits at the 68th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021.

Q: Which settings are playable at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the High, Low, and Medium presets all stay above 60 FPS. The most demanding playable preset is High, with an average of 65.3 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The recorded data places the i5-10400F + Arc B580 combination at rank 2843 out of 3707 tested combos. That means 864 configurations performed worse, while 2842 performed better. In percentile terms, this combo beats only 23.3% of all tested systems, putting it in the lower quartile of the database. For a mid-range CPU and a relatively new GPU, this ranking is modest, but it is important to consider that Fivem is a multiplayer modification with its own performance characteristics, and the ranking reflects only this specific game.

The CPU alone holds a 68th percentile position among all CPUs, and the GPU also holds a 68th percentile position among all GPUs. The combo's overall rank is lower than either component's individual percentile suggests, which indicates that the pairing does not translate its component-level strengths into a top-tier gaming experience in this title. The measured FPS data supports this: while 1080p performance is strong, 4K is unplayable, and even 1440p Ultra falls short of 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS across resolutions and presets reveals which component matters more. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 150.7 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 71.5 FPS, a 52.6% reduction. At 2560x1440, Low yields 97.4 FPS and Ultra drops to 46.9 FPS, a 51.8% reduction. At 3840x2160, Low produces 54.4 FPS and Ultra falls to 28.8 FPS, a 47.1% reduction. The percentage drop from Low to Ultra is relatively consistent across resolutions, suggesting that the GPU handles the additional shading and texture work in a linear fashion.

However, the resolution scaling tells a different story. From 1080p Low to 4K Low, the average FPS falls from 150.7 to 54.4, a 63.9% drop. From 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra, the drop is from 71.5 to 28.8, a 59.7% drop. This steep decline with increasing pixel count is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is unlikely to be the limiting factor at 1080p, as the 150.7 FPS at Low settings is far above the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K, even the lowest settings cannot reach 60 FPS, which reinforces that the GPU's raw throughput is the bottleneck.

The data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases: at 1080p the difference is 79.2 FPS, at 1440p it is 50.5 FPS, and at 4K it is 25.6 FPS. This suggests that at higher resolutions the GPU is already saturated, so the relative cost of higher settings becomes smaller. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by Cinebench R23 single-core at 1451 points, is adequate for the game's logic, but it is not the primary driver of frame rates in this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU based on average benchmark scores. For the Intel Core i5-10400F, the closest alternatives are the Intel Xeon 6756E (avg score 14163, delta 0.2%), the Intel Core 7 160UL (avg score 14232, delta -0.3%), the AMD EPYC 7552 (avg score 14115, delta 0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (avg score 14277, delta -0.6%). All of these CPUs have average scores within 0.6% of the i5-10400F's 14185, meaning that swapping in any of them would yield nearly identical CPU performance in Fivem.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (avg score 23061, delta -0.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (avg score 22895, delta 0.6%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (avg score 23172, delta -0.7%), and the NVIDIA P106-100 (avg score 23249, delta -1%). The Arc B580's average score is 23021, so all of these GPUs are within 1% of its performance. A system with any of these GPUs paired with the i5-10400F would behave similarly in terms of frame rates, though driver and feature differences are not captured in the benchmark scores.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:

• 1920x1080: Ultra, with an average of 71.5 FPS.
• 2560x1440: High, with an average of 65.3 FPS.
• 3840x2160: No preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average is Low at 54.4 FPS, which is below the playable threshold.

These values come directly from the measured FPS data and the verdict by resolution. At 1080p, players can use the highest quality settings and still maintain a comfortable frame rate. At 1440p, High is the ceiling, while Ultra falls to 46.9 FPS, which is not playable. At 4K, even Low fails to hit 60 FPS, so this resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i5-10400F and Intel Arc B580 can run Fivem, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 71.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low, Medium, and High are playable, with High being the best at 65.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, no setting reaches 60 FPS; the best average is 54.4 FPS on Low, which is below the playable threshold.

In summary, this combo is a solid choice for 1080p gaming and a capable performer at 1440p with reduced settings. For 4K, it falls short of the playable standard. The data does not indicate any issues with CPU performance; the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the exact average frame rates recorded for each resolution and settings combination. Minimum and maximum values were not recorded in the database, so only averages are available.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 34 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 54.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 42 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 28.8 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 65.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 97.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 77.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 46.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 95.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 150.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 122.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 71.5 |

These numbers show a clear hierarchy: 1080p is the strongest resolution, with all settings above 60 FPS. 1440p offers playable frame rates up to High, while 4K is consistently below 60 FPS. The Arc B580's 12 GB of memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's requirements, but the GPU's raw compute power, at 13.67 TFLOPS, is not enough to sustain 60 FPS at 4K in this title. The i5-10400F's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, provide a stable foundation, but the overall performance is dictated by the GPU's scaling behavior.
