CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data for Fivem reveals a clear pattern: the GPU is the primary performance driver, with the CPU playing a supporting role. The evidence lies in the scaling of frame rates across resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 221.7 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 with the same Low preset, the average drops to 185.5 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, it falls further to 101.7 FPS. This steady decline as resolution increases is the classic signature of GPU-bound performance.

The CPU, an Intel Core i5-10400F with 6 cores and 12 threads, has a boost clock of 4.30 GHz and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10283. Its single-thread performance, measured at 1451 in Cinebench R23, is more than adequate for a multiplayer title. The game does not appear to stress the CPU heavily at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops are consistent with rendering load rather than processor limitations.

Preset scaling reinforces this conclusion. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra changes the average from 221.7 FPS to 136.7 FPS, a reduction of 85 FPS. At 1440p, the same preset change goes from 185.5 FPS to 87.4 FPS. At 4K, Low produces 101.7 FPS while Ultra produces 48.2 FPS. The widening gap between presets at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU's rendering workload is the limiting factor, not the CPU.

The RTX 5070's specifications support this analysis. With 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units, the GPU has substantial raw throughput. Its FP32 performance of 30.87 TFLOPS and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s provide the computational headroom needed for high-resolution rendering. The 12 GB GDDR7 memory with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that memory bandwidth is not a bottleneck even at 4K.

At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets, with even Ultra settings producing 136.7 FPS. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the system has enough headroom that neither component is severely stressed. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 2541 and multi-thread score of 12115 indicate it can keep up with the GPU's output at these frame rates.

The data implies that for Fivem, players should focus on GPU settings rather than CPU-related configuration. The RTX 5070 is the component that determines whether a given resolution and preset combination will hit the 60 FPS target. The CPU's performance, while not negligible, is sufficient across all tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 221.7 FPS. Medium settings reach 206.4 FPS. High settings yield 174.6 FPS. Ultra settings, the most demanding preset, still produce a strong 136.7 FPS. All four presets at 1080p clear the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with even the lowest result being more than double the playability target.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the expected decline from 1080p. Low settings average 185.5 FPS. Medium settings produce 148.1 FPS. High settings reach 117.8 FPS. Ultra settings deliver 87.4 FPS. Every preset at 1440p stays above 60 FPS, meaning players can choose any quality level and still enjoy smooth performance.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. Low settings average 101.7 FPS, which is still comfortably playable. Medium settings produce 78.7 FPS, above the threshold. High settings reach 65.4 FPS, clearing 60 FPS but with less headroom. Ultra settings drop to 48.2 FPS, falling below the playable threshold. This 4K Ultra configuration is the only tested setting combination that fails the 60 FPS benchmark.

The pattern across resolutions shows a consistent relationship. At each resolution, the gap between Low and Ultra presets is substantial. At 1080p, the difference is 85 FPS. At 1440p, the difference is 98.1 FPS. At 4K, the difference is 53.5 FPS. The narrowing gap at 4K suggests that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor, as the absolute frame rates compress toward the hardware's ceiling.

The data also shows that the step from High to Ultra is the most punishing. At 4K, High produces 65.4 FPS while Ultra produces 48.2 FPS, a difference of 17.2 FPS. At 1440p, High yields 117.8 FPS and Ultra yields 87.4 FPS, a difference of 30.4 FPS. At 1080p, High reaches 174.6 FPS and Ultra reaches 136.7 FPS, a gap of 37.9 FPS. Players seeking maximum quality should be aware that the Ultra preset carries a significant performance cost.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem successfully across most tested configurations. The verdict by resolution is clear. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 136.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra delivering 87.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, three presets are playable: Low at 101.7 FPS, Medium at 78.7 FPS, and High at 65.4 FPS. The only configuration that fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold is 4K Ultra at 48.2 FPS.

For players with 1080p or 1440p displays, this system offers excellent performance with no compromises. The highest quality preset at both resolutions stays well above 60 FPS, leaving headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios that might cause frame rate dips. The data indicates that even the most demanding preset at these resolutions will not push the hardware to its limits.

At 4K, players have a meaningful choice to make. High settings at 65.4 FPS provide a smooth experience that clears the threshold with a small buffer. Medium settings at 78.7 FPS offer more safety margin at the cost of some visual fidelity. Low settings at 101.7 FPS prioritize frame rate above all else. Ultra settings should be avoided at this resolution, as the 48.2 FPS average falls below the playability standard.

The overall assessment is that this system is a capable gaming PC for Fivem, particularly for players who prioritize high refresh rates at 1080p or 1440p, and even 4K players who are willing to adjust settings below Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which produces an average of 136.7 FPS. Players with 1080p displays can confidently select Ultra settings for the highest visual quality available in the test suite while maintaining more than double the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, delivering an average of 87.4 FPS. The 1440p Ultra configuration provides a significant visual upgrade over High settings while remaining comfortably playable.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, reaching 65.4 FPS. Players seeking maximum quality at 4K should choose High rather than Ultra, as Ultra drops to 48.2 FPS and falls below the threshold.

The recommended settings per resolution follow a clear pattern. At 1080p and 1440p, players can use the Ultra preset without concern. At 4K, players must step down to High, sacrificing some visual quality to stay above 60 FPS. The performance cost of Ultra at 4K costs 17.2 FPS compared to High, making it the least efficient preset in terms of the gap between playability and non-playable performance.

For best results, players should set the game to Ultra at 1920x1080, Ultra at 2560x1440, and High at 3840x2160. These settings provide the best visual fidelity that maintains 60 FPS at each resolution.
