Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a highly capable Fivem experience, with the database showing that this combination is playable at all tested resolutions up to 2560x1440. At 1920x1080, the combo exceeds 120 FPS even on the Ultra preset, while 2560x1440 remains comfortably above 80 FPS at maximum settings. The only resolution where the system struggles to maintain fluidity is 3840x2160 at the higher presets, where the most demanding settings drop below the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combination produces an average of 221.6 FPS on Low settings, 195.5 FPS on Medium, 158.7 FPS on High, and 122.4 FPS on Ultra. These figures show that even the most demanding preset at this resolution leaves substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages remain strong: 162.6 FPS on Low, 127.9 FPS on Medium, 104.1 FPS on High, and 80.4 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 27% at Ultra settings, which is expected given the increased pixel count, but the system still delivers a smooth experience across all presets.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. The Low preset averages 91.8 FPS, Medium drops to 71.9 FPS, High falls to 54.8 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 46.2 FPS. The database records no minimum or maximum frame time data for any of these runs, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is notable, a 17.1 FPS drop, and the Ultra preset falls 25.7 FPS behind High, indicating that the 4K Ultra settings impose a heavy load that this hardware cannot fully sustain.

The measured FPS values show a consistent pattern across resolutions. At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 99.2 FPS, meaning the settings choice has a massive impact. At 1440p, the spread narrows to 82.2 FPS, and at 4K it tightens further to 45.6 FPS. This compression at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises, while at lower resolutions the CPU has more room to push frame rates higher.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the RTX 3080 is the dominant performance driver at 3840x2160, while the i5-10400F becomes increasingly relevant as resolution drops. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 45.6 FPS, a relatively modest range compared to lower resolutions. This narrow spread suggests that the GPU is saturated at this resolution, and the CPU has less influence over the final frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the settings spread widens to 82.2 FPS, showing that the system has more headroom and that both components contribute meaningfully. The jump from Low to Medium at 1440p yields a 34.7 FPS reduction, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 23.7 FPS. These diminishing returns with higher presets point to the GPU handling most of the visual workload, but the CPU still keeping pace without bottlenecking.

At 1920x1080, the settings spread reaches 99.2 FPS, the widest of any resolution. The Low preset at 221.6 FPS versus Ultra at 122.4 FPS shows that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to reach very high frame rates, but the GPU's workload scales heavily with preset quality. The i5-10400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, appears sufficient at this resolution to avoid constraining the RTX 3080, as evidenced by the 122.4 FPS Ultra result.

The resolution scaling itself tells a story. Going from 1080p Ultra at 122.4 FPS to 1440p Ultra at 80.4 FPS is a 34.3% reduction, while 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is a 42.5% further drop. The larger percentage drop at higher resolutions reinforces that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, whereas the CPU has more influence on the 1080p results. The database shows no signs of CPU limitation at any tested setting, as even the lowest resolution and preset combination produces a playable frame rate.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear recommendation. The recorded average of 122.4 FPS at Ultra is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, and it is the most demanding setting tested. There is no reason to lower the preset at this resolution, as even the heaviest configuration leaves 62.4 FPS of headroom.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also remains the best choice. The average of 80.4 FPS at Ultra exceeds the playable threshold by 20.4 FPS. The database confirms that all four presets at this resolution are playable, but Ultra delivers the highest visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

For 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Medium, which averages 71.9 FPS. The High preset falls to 54.8 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra drops further to 46.2 FPS. The Low preset averages 91.8 FPS but is not the recommended choice because Medium offers substantially better visuals while still staying above the playable threshold. The verdict data confirms Medium as the best settings at 4K, with 71.9 FPS being the maximum quality that maintains 60 FPS or better.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals in the database, the Intel Core i5-10400F is closely matched by several other processors. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, which is 0.2% lower than the i5-10400F's average benchmark score of 14185. The AMD EPYC 7552 sits 0.5% behind at 14115, while the Intel Core 7 160UL is 0.3% ahead at 14232, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C leads by 0.6% at 14277. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the RTX 3080's nearest rivals are similarly close in aggregate performance. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, which is 0.3% below the RTX 3080's 23172 average. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 also sits 0.3% lower at 23250, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M is 0.4% behind at 23273, and the AMD Radeon R9 M290X trails by 0.4% at 23276. These differences are negligible, so swapping the RTX 3080 for any of these alternatives would yield comparable Fivem performance, though the RTX 3080's specific features like ray tracing and DLSS are not accounted for in these raw scores.

The practical implication is that the i5-10400F and RTX 3080 sit in a crowded performance band. Users with any of the listed rival CPUs or GPUs should expect similar results in Fivem, with the caveat that actual in-game performance can vary based on driver optimization and the specific workload of the multiplayer environment.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 1149 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This puts the pairing in the top 31% of all recorded configurations, which is a strong showing given the wide range of hardware tested. The rank reflects the overall balance of the CPU and GPU, with the RTX 3080 providing ample graphics power and the i5-10400F avoiding major bottlenecks.

The percentile data supports this ranking. The CPU sits at the 68th percentile against all processors, meaning it outperforms 68% of tested CPUs, and the GPU also lands at the 68th percentile against all GPUs. Both components are above average, and their combination produces a system that is well-suited for Fivem's multiplayer environments, where frame rate stability often matters more than absolute peak performance.

The rank of 1149 out of 3707 also indicates that there are many faster combinations, mostly featuring newer or higher-tier processors and graphics cards. However, the measured FPS data shows that this combo still delivers playable performance at all resolutions up to 1440p, and even at 4K with the right settings. The ranking confirms that while it is not a top-tier setup, it is firmly in the upper third of all tested systems.
