Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a remarkably consistent and high-performance experience in Fivem across all tested resolutions and settings. The data shows that this combination is overwhelmingly capable, with every single preset at every resolution exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. The most demanding configuration tested, 4K Ultra, still maintains an average of 62 FPS, while lower resolutions and settings push frame rates far beyond typical high-refresh-rate requirements.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces exceptional frame rates that scale predictably with graphical fidelity. The Low preset yields an average of 221.7 FPS, which is the highest recorded result in the entire dataset. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 206.8 FPS, a reduction of approximately 6.7% from Low. The High preset delivers 186.8 FPS, while the Ultra preset, the most demanding setting at this resolution, still produces a formidable 174.9 FPS average. The spread between the lowest and highest settings at 1080p is 46.8 FPS, indicating that even the most intensive visual settings leave substantial performance headroom.

The 2560x1440 results show a similar pattern but with slightly lower absolute numbers. The Low preset averages 193.7 FPS, while Medium comes in at 181 FPS. High drops to 144 FPS, and Ultra remains comfortably playable at 115 FPS. The performance difference between 1080p and 1440p is notable: Ultra settings see a reduction from 174.9 FPS to 115 FPS, a decline of roughly 34%. This indicates that resolution scaling has a meaningful impact on the GPU workload, though the RTX 5080 handles it without approaching any playability limits.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain strong but show the most pronounced scaling effects. The Low preset averages 125.7 FPS, Medium drops to 102.1 FPS, and High settles at 81.7 FPS. The Ultra preset, which represents the maximum stress test for this hardware, averages exactly 62 FPS. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, though it does not fall below it. The transition from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra represents a 46% performance drop, from 115 FPS to 62 FPS, demonstrating that 4K resolution is where this combination finally begins to feel the GPU workload.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the best settings that maintain at least 60 FPS are Ultra, with an average of 62 FPS. This is the only resolution where the highest preset comes close to the playability floor, but the data confirms it remains above it. Players seeking maximum visual quality at 4K can enable Ultra without falling below the playable threshold, though the margin is slim at 2 FPS. The High preset at 81.7 FPS offers a more comfortable buffer for those who prefer stability over absolute visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best playable setting, delivering an average of 115 FPS. This provides a substantial 55 FPS margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a safe choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. The gap between Ultra and the next lower preset, High at 144 FPS, is 29 FPS, so users prioritizing maximum frame rates have meaningful headroom to drop settings if desired.

For 1920x1080, Ultra again qualifies as the best playable setting with an average of 174.9 FPS. This result is nearly three times the playable threshold, indicating that the CPU, not the GPU, is likely the limiting factor at this resolution. The 1080p results show the smallest relative differences between presets, with only a 21% gap between Low and Ultra, which further suggests a CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across all presets, with the difference between Low (221.7 FPS) and Ultra (174.9 FPS) being relatively modest at 21%. This compressed scaling indicates that the Intel Core i5-10400F is reaching its practical limits before the RTX 5080 can be fully utilized. The GPU has ample capacity to render even Ultra settings quickly, but the CPU cannot feed it frames fast enough to push beyond the 174.9 to 221.7 FPS range.

At 2560x1440, the scaling behavior begins to change. The gap between Low (193.7 FPS) and Ultra (115 FPS) widens to 41%, showing that the GPU is starting to take on a more significant role. The CPU remains capable of delivering high frame rates, but the increased pixel workload gives the RTX 5080 more work per frame, reducing the CPU bottleneck.

The 3840x2160 results demonstrate the clearest GPU dominance. The spread between Low (125.7 FPS) and Ultra (62 FPS) reaches 51%, and the absolute frame rates drop substantially across all presets. At this resolution, the RTX 5080's rendering workload dominates the performance equation, and the CPU's role recedes. The fact that 4K Ultra still achieves 62 FPS, despite the i5-10400F being a six-core Comet Lake processor with a single-thread 3DMark score of 688, indicates that Fivem's frame rate ceiling at 4K is largely set by the GPU.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-10400F, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Xeon 6756E, which scores 14163 with a delta of 0.2%, and the Intel Core 7 160UL, which scores 14232 with a delta of -0.3%. These processors would behave nearly identically in Fivem, as their aggregate performance is within a fraction of a percent of the i5-10400F. The AMD EPYC 7552, scoring 14115 with a 0.5% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C, scoring 14277 with a -0.6% delta, also fall into this tightly clustered performance band. For Fivem specifically, any of these CPUs would produce the same general frame rate characteristics, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU is more influential.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, the nearest rivals by average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon 8060S, which scores 55757 with a 0.6% delta, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, scoring 55698 with a 0.7% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828 with a 2.3% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367 with a -2.2% delta, meaning it is slightly faster than the RTX 5080. In Fivem, users with any of these GPUs would experience frame rates within a few percent of those recorded for the RTX 5080, though the RX 9070 GRE would likely produce marginally higher averages across all resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU and GPU combination ranks 493 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 13.3% of all configurations in the database. This ranking reflects the GPU's dominant role in the game's performance profile: the RTX 5080 sits in the 87th percentile among all GPUs, while the i5-10400F ranks in the 68th percentile among CPUs. The combination's high overall rank is largely attributable to the GPU, which provides the bulk of the rendering headroom even when paired with a mid-range processor. The substantial gap between the CPU's percentile and the combo's rank suggests that Fivem is not heavily CPU-bound at higher resolutions, allowing the RTX 5080 to boost the overall standing significantly.
