Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 presents a compelling dataset for Fivem, a multiplayer title that often behaves differently from single-player benchmarks. The recorded measurements reveal a system that is highly capable at standard resolutions, but which encounters a firm ceiling at 4K. The data indicates that this combination is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS varies significantly by resolution. The data shows a clear step-down in graphical ambition as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the system can only sustain playable frame rates on the Medium preset. The average FPS at Medium is 63.8, which just clears the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset falls to 46.9 FPS, and Ultra drops further to 36 FPS, making both unsuitable for smooth gameplay. Low runs at 80.1 FPS, but Medium is the highest quality option that remains playable.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves dramatically. The system achieves playable performance on all four tested presets. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, still delivers an average of 69.7 FPS. This makes Ultra the best settings choice for this resolution, as it provides the highest visual fidelity while staying above the 60 FPS line.

At 1920x1080, the system has abundant performance. The Ultra preset averages 103.9 FPS, making it the clear choice for maximum quality. The lower presets are all far above the threshold, with Low reaching 213.7 FPS, but Ultra is the best setting because it offers the most demanding visuals while still nearly doubling the playability threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database for Fivem, this specific CPU and GPU combination holds a rank of 1574 out of 3707 tested combos. This places it in the upper half of all recorded configurations, roughly in the 42nd percentile of tested systems. The rank suggests that while this is not an extreme high-end pairing, it sits comfortably above the median for this particular game.

The ranking reflects a balanced system. The CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions, and the GPU is strong enough to push high frame rates.

Q: Is the system more limited by the CPU or GPU at 4K?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The frame rates drop sharply with increased graphical settings, indicating the RTX 3070 is struggling to fill the higher pixel count, rather than the CPU being unable to feed it frames.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals distinct roles for the CPU and GPU depending on the resolution. At 1080p, the system produces very high frame rates, with the Low preset exceeding 200 FPS. This high output suggests that the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F with 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU quickly. The GPU is likely the primary limiter even at 1080p, as the frame rates scale directly with graphical settings, but the CPU is not holding the system back from reaching high averages.

At 1440p, the balance shifts. The frame rates are lower than 1080p but still high, with Ultra at 69.7 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent drop across all presets, indicating the GPU is doing more work per frame. The CPU is still keeping up, as the frame rates remain well above 60 FPS even on the most demanding preset.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. The frame rates plummet, especially on High and Ultra. The difference between 1440p Ultra at 69.7 FPS and 4K Ultra at 36 FPS is a 48% drop, a massive reduction that points directly at the GPU's rendering limits. The RTX 3070, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit bus, is overwhelmed by the pixel count of 3840x2160 at high settings. The CPU is likely underutilized at this resolution, as the GPU cannot process frames fast enough to keep it busy.

The data implies that for this game, the RTX 3070 is the deciding factor at 4K, while the i5-10400F provides ample support at 1080p and 1440p. The CPU's benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10283 and a Passmark single-thread score of 2541, indicate it has sufficient single-thread performance for gaming, which is confirmed by the high frame rates at lower resolutions.

The Verdict

The recorded verdict data is clear: this PC can run Fivem effectively, but the experience depends heavily on resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable on all settings. The best setting is Ultra, with an average FPS of 103.9. This is a definitive pass, offering high visual quality and performance far above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system is also fully playable on all settings. The best setting is Ultra, with an average FPS of 69.7. This is a strong pass, providing excellent visuals with a comfortable margin above the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system is only partially playable. The playable settings are Low and Medium, with the best being Medium at 63.8 FPS. High and Ultra presets fail to reach 60 FPS. Therefore, 4K gaming is possible, but only with reduced graphical fidelity.

The verdict is that this PC is an excellent choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem, offering high or ultra settings with smooth frame rates. For 4K, it is a conditional pass, requiring players to use Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS.
