Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this CPU and GPU combination in Fivem shows a clear performance curve that scales predictably with resolution and preset level. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates range from 47 FPS at Ultra settings to 95 FPS at Low settings. The Medium preset delivers an average of 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 86 FPS, which is the only 4K configuration with complete min/max data recorded. High settings at 4K produce exactly 60 FPS on average, while Ultra drops to 47 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance picture improves substantially. Low settings produce an average of 171 FPS, Medium reaches 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 and maximum of 156, High sits at 108 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a strong 84 FPS average. The 1440p Medium preset is the only configuration in this resolution with min/max readings, showing a 41 FPS spread between the recorded low and high marks.

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers very high frame rates across all presets. Low settings average 224 FPS, Medium averages 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236, High averages 164 FPS, and Ultra averages 128 FPS. The 1080p Medium data shows the tightest relative spread among all measured configurations with min/max values, a 61 FPS difference between the lowest and highest recorded frames.

The scaling pattern between resolutions reveals consistent behavior. Dropping from 4K to 1440p increases average FPS by roughly 80 percent at High settings, while dropping from 1440p to 1080p adds another 52 percent at the same preset. The Ultra preset shows the largest absolute gains when lowering resolution: 47 FPS at 4K, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 128 FPS at 1080p.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers exactly 60 FPS on average. Medium also qualifies for playable status with 75 FPS, and Low runs at 95 FPS, but High represents the visual ceiling while maintaining the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra at 47 FPS does not meet the playable standard.

For 2560x1440, all four presets clear 60 FPS, and the best settings are Ultra with an average of 84 FPS. This leaves substantial headroom above the playable threshold even at maximum visual quality. The next step down, High, runs at 108 FPS, showing that the GPU has enough capacity at this resolution to handle the full preset range comfortably.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best playable preset with an average of 128 FPS. Every preset from Low to Ultra remains well above 60 FPS, with Low reaching 224 FPS and Medium at 205 FPS. The combination of this CPU and GPU at 1080p is never constrained by the playable threshold, even at the highest settings.

The Verdict

This combination can run Fivem successfully across all three tested resolutions, but the playable preset ceiling varies significantly. At 3840x2160, the system clears 60 FPS on High, Medium, and Low settings, with High being the best visual option at exactly 60 FPS average. Ultra at 4K is not playable, producing only 47 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system achieves playable performance on every preset, with Ultra averaging 84 FPS. This is the resolution where the hardware shows its strongest balance: maximum settings remain comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold with 24 FPS of headroom. High settings at 1440p reach 108 FPS, Medium hits 135 FPS, and Low runs at 171 FPS.

At 1920x1080, every preset delivers a playable experience with substantial margin. Ultra averages 128 FPS, High averages 164 FPS, Medium averages 205 FPS, and Low averages 224 FPS. The verdict data confirms that this system is fully capable of running Fivem at playable frame rates in all tested resolutions except 4K Ultra, where the average drops to 47 FPS.

For users prioritizing visual quality at 4K, the High preset is the ceiling. For those who want maximum fidelity without concern, 1440p Ultra is the optimal configuration. At 1080p, any preset delivers far more performance than required.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling between resolutions and presets indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor in Fivem at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes relatively more relevant at lower resolutions. The data shows that dropping from 4K to 1440p produces large FPS gains across all presets, and dropping further to 1080p yields additional gains, which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload.

At 4K, the Ultra preset averages 47 FPS while High averages 60 FPS, a 13 FPS difference that reflects the GPU struggling with maximum settings at the highest pixel count. The jump from Medium to High at 4K is 15 FPS (75 to 60), while Low to Medium is 20 FPS (95 to 75). These gaps narrow at lower resolutions: at 1440p, Ultra to High is 24 FPS, High to Medium is 27 FPS, and Medium to Low is 36 FPS. At 1080p, the preset gaps range from 36 to 41 FPS between adjacent settings.

The pattern suggests that at 1080p, where the GPU has ample headroom (224 FPS at Low), the CPU's performance characteristics become more visible in the upper preset ranges. The Intel Core i5-10400F has a 68th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 14185. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6756E at 14163 (0.2 percent difference) and the AMD EPYC 7552 at 14115 (0.5 percent difference). This places the processor in a competitive mid-range position for this workload.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks in the 81st percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 37648, placing it near the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, 0.1 percent difference) and AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, 0.4 percent difference). The GPU's strong absolute performance explains why resolution scaling has such a pronounced effect on FPS: the RTX 4070 has ample compute resources that become increasingly utilized as pixel count rises.

The 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS versus the 1080p Ultra result of 128 FPS illustrates how much the GPU is stretched at the highest resolution. The 4K Medium min/max spread of 64 to 86 FPS also shows that even when the average is playable, frame dips can approach the threshold. At 1440p and 1080p, the min/max data at Medium settings shows much larger absolute margins above 60 FPS.
