Fivem

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 67 FPS. The Medium preset averages 84 FPS, and Low runs at 106 FPS, but Ultra drops to 52 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. For 4K users, High is the ceiling for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the entire settings stack clears 60 FPS. Ultra averages 93 FPS, High hits 120 FPS, Medium reaches 151 FPS, and Low runs at 191 FPS. The best visual quality that remains playable is Ultra at 93 FPS, making 1440p the sweet spot for this configuration.

At 1920x1080, every preset is well above 60 FPS. Ultra averages 142 FPS, High reaches 183 FPS, Medium hits 205 FPS, and Low runs at 224 FPS. The best setting is Ultra at 142 FPS, which provides maximum image quality with a large performance cushion.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K with maximum settings?

A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 52, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest playable preset at 4K is High at 67 FPS.

Q: What is the best resolution for this system?

A: 2560x1440 with Ultra settings gives 93 FPS, which is the highest visual quality that remains comfortably above the playable threshold. At 1920x1080, Ultra runs at 142 FPS, but the resolution is lower. The data shows 1440p Ultra offers the best balance.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 SUPER compare to nearby GPUs?

A: The RTX 4070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 43223. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, which is 0.1% higher. The GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268 (0.1% higher), and the RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667 (1% higher). These are very close performance tiers.

Q: Is the i5-10400F a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The data suggests not. At 1920x1080, even Ultra settings produce 142 FPS average. The CPU's multi-thread score from Cinebench R23 is 10283, which places it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs. The frame rates at 1080p are high enough that the GPU is still the limiting factor.

Q: What happens to frame rates when going from 1080p to 4K?

A: At Ultra settings, average FPS drops from 142 at 1080p to 93 at 1440p to 52 at 4K. That is a 65% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the drop is from 183 to 120 to 67, a 63% reduction. The GPU load scales heavily with resolution.

Q: Which settings preset shows the biggest performance gap?

A: At every resolution, the jump from Medium to Ultra is the largest. At 4K, Medium averages 84 FPS while Ultra averages 52 FPS, a 38% drop. At 1440p, Medium hits 151 FPS versus Ultra at 93 FPS, a 38% drop. At 1080p, Medium runs at 205 FPS while Ultra is 142 FPS, a 31% drop.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with average FPS provided for all combinations. Minimum and maximum FPS are only recorded for Medium settings.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 106 FPS. Medium averages 84 FPS with a minimum of 71 and maximum of 96. High averages 67 FPS. Ultra averages 52 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 54 FPS, showing that 4K is highly sensitive to settings changes.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 191 FPS. Medium averages 151 FPS with a minimum of 128 and maximum of 173. High averages 120 FPS. Ultra averages 93 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 98 FPS, demonstrating that 1440p provides ample headroom across all presets.

At 1920x1080, Low averages 224 FPS. Medium averages 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236. High averages 183 FPS. Ultra averages 142 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 82 FPS, and even the lowest recorded frame time (175 FPS minimum at Medium) is far above the playable threshold.

The Medium preset data is notable because it includes min and max values. At 1080p Medium, the minimum observed FPS is 175, which is still nearly three times the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 128 FPS. At 4K Medium, the minimum drops to 71 FPS, which remains above 60 but shows less margin.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database show very close aggregate scores. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, which is 0.2% lower than the i5-10400F's 14185 average. The Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, 0.3% higher. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% higher. All four alternatives are within 1% of each other, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical Fivem frame rates when paired with the same GPU.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's average score of 43223 is closely matched by several cards. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, just 0.1% higher. The GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268, also 0.1% higher. The Quadro M6000 scores 43301, 0.2% higher. The RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43667, which is 1% higher. These small deltas mean that swapping the RTX 4070 SUPER for any of these GPUs would result in nearly the same measured FPS in Fivem, within a margin of a few frames per second.

The practical implication is that a system built with any of these CPU or GPU alternatives would land in the same performance envelope. The i5-10400F sits in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. This combination ranks 796th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 21% of all systems tested.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that resolution scaling is the primary driver of performance changes, which indicates the GPU is the dominant factor. Going from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 142 to 93, a 35% reduction. Going from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Ultra, the average drops from 93 to 52, a 44% reduction. This steep scaling with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets. Low settings hit 224 FPS, and even Ultra reaches 142 FPS. These numbers suggest the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at 1080p. The i5-10400F has 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10283 and single-core score of 1451 indicate solid performance for a 10th-generation desktop part.

The settings scaling also points to GPU dominance. At each resolution, the difference between Low and Ultra is substantial, and the Medium to Ultra gap is the largest. This is typical of a graphics-heavy title where visual quality settings directly tax the GPU's shading units, texture rate, and memory bandwidth. The RTX 4070 SUPER has 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, with a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Ultra settings produce 52 FPS, below the playable threshold, while High settings produce 67 FPS. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit bus are sufficient for the game's needs at this resolution, but the raw compute power is not enough for Ultra at 4K.

At 1440p and 1080p, the CPU has more headroom. The frame rates are high enough that even if the CPU were to limit certain scenarios, the overall experience remains well above 60 FPS. The minimum recorded FPS at 1440p Medium is 128, and at 1080p Medium it is 175, both far above the threshold. This suggests the CPU is not causing frame drops in these configurations.

The Verdict

This system can run Fivem at all three tested resolutions, but not at every settings preset. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium. The best playable preset is High with an average of 67 FPS. Ultra is not playable at 4K because it averages 52 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, all four settings presets are playable. Ultra averages 93 FPS, High averages 120 FPS, Medium averages 151 FPS, and Low averages 191 FPS. The best visual quality that clears 60 FPS is Ultra at 93 FPS.

At 1920x1080, all four settings presets are playable with substantial margins. Ultra averages 142 FPS, High averages 183 FPS, Medium averages 205 FPS, and Low averages 224 FPS. The best setting is Ultra at 142 FPS.

The data indicates this is a capable configuration for Fivem across most scenarios. The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 796th out of 3707 tested combinations. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, this system delivers high frame rates at maximum settings. For 4K, it requires a slight settings reduction to High, but still provides a smooth experience. The system is well-balanced, with the GPU being the primary factor at higher resolutions and the CPU providing sufficient headroom at lower resolutions.
