Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti delivers a split verdict in Fivem, depending entirely on the target resolution. At 1080p, this combination is thoroughly capable, pushing well past the 60 FPS threshold even at the highest settings. At 1440p, it remains strong, though the Ultra preset dips below the playable mark. At 4K, the hardware struggles, with only the Low preset coming close to a playable frame rate. The recorded data shows a clear pattern: this is a solid 1080p and high-refresh 1440p setup, but not a 4K solution for this multiplayer title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database records Fivem performance across three resolutions and four settings presets, with average frame rates forming the core of the analysis. At 1920x1080, the combo starts at 156.7 FPS on Low settings, a figure that indicates substantial headroom for competitive play. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 127.3 FPS, still far above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The High preset records 102.6 FPS, demonstrating that even with increased visual demand, the system maintains a comfortable margin. The most demanding option at 1080p, Ultra, yields 80.9 FPS, which remains playable and smooth for most users.

At 2560x1440, the performance scaling is predictable but steeper. Low settings produce 107 FPS, a strong result that suggests the CPU and GPU are still working in harmony. Medium settings follow with 84.8 FPS, and High settings record 66.7 FPS, barely clearing the 60 FPS line. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 53.7 FPS, which is below the playable threshold and indicates that the most demanding settings are too heavy for this resolution. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is roughly 53 FPS, highlighting how much headroom the hardware has at lower presets.

The 3840x2160 results are the weakest in the dataset. Low settings average 59.1 FPS, just under the 60 FPS playable mark. Medium settings drop to 45.2 FPS, High settings fall to 38.5 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 26 FPS. None of these presets reach the playable threshold, and the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a loss of about 33 FPS. The data indicates that 4K is not a viable option for this combination in Fivem, even at the lowest settings.

The measured data does not include minimum or maximum frame times, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. The absence of min and max values means that frame pacing and stutter cannot be assessed from the database, but the averages provide a clear picture of overall performance. The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: higher settings cost a significant number of frames, and the impact grows as resolution increases.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Ultra, with an average of 80.9 FPS. This is the most demanding preset tested, and it clears the playability threshold by roughly 21 FPS. The database shows that every preset at 1080p is playable, but Ultra represents the peak visual quality without sacrificing the 60 FPS target. Users who prioritize frame rate over visuals can choose High at 102.6 FPS or Medium at 127.3 FPS, but the hardware has enough margin to run the game at its highest settings.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, with an average of 66.7 FPS. This preset clears the 60 FPS threshold by about 7 FPS, which is a modest but real margin. The Ultra preset at 1440p fails to reach playable status, so High is the ceiling for this resolution. Medium at 84.8 FPS and Low at 107 FPS are also playable, but High offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance that keeps the frame rate above the threshold.

For 3840x2160, the database records no playable settings. The closest result is Low at 59.1 FPS, which falls just short of the 60 FPS mark. Medium at 45.2 FPS, High at 38.5 FPS, and Ultra at 26 FPS are all significantly below the playable threshold. The verdict for 4K is clear: this combination cannot maintain a playable frame rate at any tested preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU combination at rank 2500 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places the setup in the 68th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly two-thirds of recorded combos perform better in this game. The ranking reflects the balance of the parts involved, and the FPS data shows that the ranking is heavily influenced by resolution and preset demands. At 1080p, the rank understates the practical experience, as the system delivers well above playable frame rates at all presets. At 4K, the rank feels appropriate, as the hardware is clearly out of its depth.

The rank of 2500 out of 3707 indicates that while this is not a top-tier configuration for Fivem, it is far from the bottom. The percentile score for the CPU is 68, and the GPU sits at 59, both indicating mid-to-upper range hardware. The combination of these two components produces a system that is well-suited for 1080p gaming and acceptable for 1440p at moderate settings, but the rank reflects the overall spread of tested hardware, which includes much stronger CPUs and GPUs.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals in the database, several processors offer nearly identical average benchmark scores. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, which is 0.2 percent lower than the i5-10400F's average. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, a 0.5 percent difference. On the higher side, the Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, which is 0.3 percent above, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6 percent higher. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning that swapping the i5-10400F for any of these CPUs would result in virtually identical Fivem performance, assuming the GPU remains the same.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 16014, 0.7 percent below the RTX 3060 Ti's average of 16129. The AMD Radeon Pro 5600M scores 16351, 1.4 percent higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16361, also 1.4 percent higher. The AMD Radeon R9 370X scores 15862, 1.7 percent lower. These differences are minor, so any of these GPUs would produce comparable frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same CPU. The practical takeaway is that the i5-10400F and RTX 3060 Ti sit in a dense cluster of hardware with similar performance, and users with any of these alternatives can expect similar results.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals which component carries more weight in Fivem. The data shows a significant drop in frame rates as resolution increases, which points to the GPU being the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system records 156.7 FPS. At 1440p Low, that number falls to 107 FPS, a reduction of roughly 50 FPS. At 4K Low, the average is 59.1 FPS, another drop of about 48 FPS. This steep decline across resolutions is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering workload grows faster than the CPU's role in the pipeline.

The preset scaling further supports this interpretation. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs about 76 FPS, from 156.7 down to 80.9. At 1440p, the cost from Low to Ultra is roughly 53 FPS, from 107 down to 53.7. At 4K, the cost is about 33 FPS, from 59.1 down to 26. The diminishing impact of preset changes at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is saturated at 4K, and the CPU becomes less relevant to the final frame rate. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence, as the GPU has enough headroom to render frames quickly, but the overall pattern is dominated by GPU scaling.

The CPU's recorded benchmark scores suggest it is not a weak link. The i5-10400F posts a single-thread score of 688 in 3DMark and a multi-thread score of 4748 in the 16-thread test. These are respectable numbers for a 6-core, 12-thread processor. The GPU, with 4864 shading units and a 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, is also a capable mid-range part. The data indicates that in Fivem, the GPU is the limiting factor at 1440p and 4K, while at 1080p, the system is balanced enough that both components contribute to the high frame rates.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the answer depends entirely on the resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, with Ultra averaging 80.9 FPS. This is the ideal environment for this combination, offering both high visual quality and smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, the system remains playable at Low, Medium, and High settings, with High averaging 66.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is not playable, falling to 53.7 FPS, so users should stick to High or lower for a consistent experience above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative. No tested preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold, with Low averaging 59.1 FPS and Ultra dropping to 26 FPS. The data shows that 4K is beyond the capabilities of this hardware in Fivem, and users with a 4K display should either lower the resolution or accept a sub-60 FPS experience. The combination ranks 2500 out of 3707 tested combos, which places it in the middle of the pack, but the practical performance is solid for 1080p and acceptable for 1440p. For the target audience of 1080p gamers, this setup is more than sufficient, and for 1440p users who are willing to adjust settings, it delivers a playable experience.
