Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy across the four settings presets. The Low preset delivers an average of 141.9 FPS, which is the highest figure at this resolution. Moving up to Medium drops the average to 106.4 FPS, a reduction of 35.5 FPS from Low. The High preset averages 85.8 FPS, while the Ultra preset bottoms out at 70 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is substantial: 71.9 FPS, meaning the most demanding preset runs at roughly half the frame rate of the least demanding one. All four presets remain well above the 60 FPS playability threshold, so even the heaviest settings leave headroom for scene complexity in multiplayer sessions.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern shifts upward. The Low preset averages 196.2 FPS, and Medium follows at 175.6 FPS, a difference of 20.6 FPS. High drops to 156 FPS, and Ultra lands at 122.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 73.9 FPS, similar in absolute terms to the 4K spread but with higher floor values. Every preset at 1440p clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with even the Ultra preset delivering more than double the playability minimum.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are the highest in the dataset. The Low preset averages 222.5 FPS, Medium averages 207.3 FPS, and High averages 189.4 FPS. The Ultra preset still manages 171.3 FPS, which is higher than the Low preset at 1440p (196.2 FPS) and far above any 4K result. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 51.2 FPS, a narrower relative gap than at higher resolutions. This suggests diminishing returns from lowering settings as resolution decreases. Across all three resolutions, the database records no min or max FPS values, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates. The absence of min/max data means frame pacing and 1% lows cannot be assessed, but the averages are consistently strong.

A: No. Across all three tested resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160), the Ultra preset averages 171.3, 122.3, and 70 FPS respectively. Every measurement stays above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data suggests that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining Fivem performance, but the CPU still plays a measurable role at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 3840x2160, the frame rates range from 70 FPS at Ultra to 141.9 FPS at Low. The scaling between presets is steep: moving from Low to Medium costs 35.5 FPS, and moving from Medium to High costs another 20.6 FPS. This pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound workload, where reducing graphical load directly translates into higher frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with higher absolute values. The Low preset averages 196.2 FPS, while Ultra averages 122.3 FPS. The total delta of 73.9 FPS across the four presets is nearly identical to the 71.9 FPS delta at 4K. This consistency suggests that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck at 1440p, as the performance cost of each settings tier remains proportionally similar regardless of resolution.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes subtly. The Low preset averages 222.5 FPS, but the Ultra preset still averages 171.3 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra narrows to 51.2 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms than at the other resolutions. This narrowing indicates that at 1080p, the CPU begins to assert more influence. The i5-10400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, may start to limit the upper ceiling when the GPU has less work to do. The 3DMark scores support this: the 16-thread score is 4748, the 8-thread score is 3929, and the single-thread score is 688. These figures are modest compared to the GPU's enormous compute resources, and at 1080p Low, the workload may shift toward CPU-bound physics and game logic.

The RTX 5090's GPU compute score of 26756 in Passmark and its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput indicate an extremely capable graphics processor. When combined with a mid-range 10th-gen CPU, the pairing shows a clear imbalance: at 4K, the GPU is fully utilized, while at 1080p, the CPU becomes more relevant. The measured data reflects this dynamic through the narrowing preset deltas at lower resolutions. For players targeting high-refresh 1080p monitors, the CPU could be the limiting factor in extremely light scenes, but the average frame rates remain far above what any current display would require.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the question directly: yes, this PC can run Fivem at every tested resolution and preset. At 3840x2160, the verdict lists all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable. The Ultra preset averages 70 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by 10 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 122.3 FPS, more than double the playability minimum. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 171.3 FPS, providing substantial headroom for multiplayer servers with heavy script loads.

The verdict by resolution names Ultra as the best settings preset at every resolution. The average FPS at those settings are 70 at 4K, 122.3 at 1440p, and 171.3 at 1080p. No preset at any resolution falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The weakest recorded result is the 4K Ultra average of 70 FPS, which still leaves a 10 FPS margin. If a player wants to maximize visual quality, the data supports running Ultra at all three resolutions without concern. For those who prioritize frame rate, the Low preset at 1080p reaches 222.5 FPS, which is suitable for extreme refresh rate displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-10400F provide context for what other CPUs would behave similarly in this combination. The Intel Xeon 6756E has an average benchmark score of 14163, which is 0.2% below the i5-10400F's 14185. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% below. These two processors are effectively equivalent in overall benchmark performance. On the other side, the Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, 0.3% above, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% above. Any of these four CPUs would likely produce frame rates within a very small margin of the i5-10400F in Fivem, since their average benchmark scores cluster within roughly 1% of each other.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 are less obvious in terms of consumer gaming hardware. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605, just 0.3% below the RTX 5090's 79842. The Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79396, 0.6% below. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940, 1.1% below, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 80959, 1.4% above. These rivals are a mix of data center and mobile parts, which means their gaming performance in Fivem could differ from their raw benchmark scores. However, the benchmark deltas suggest that any of them would deliver similar average frame rates when paired with the same CPU.

When considering a full system alternative, swapping the i5-10400F for a Ryzen 3 7320C or a Core 7 160UL would likely preserve the measured FPS values within a few percent. Swapping the RTX 5090 for a Radeon RX 6850M XT would introduce a 1.1% average benchmark deficit, which is unlikely to change the playability verdict at any resolution. The key takeaway is that the i5-10400F and RTX 5090 combination sits in a dense cluster of similarly performing hardware, so users with any of these nearby parts should expect comparable results.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 394 out of 3707 combos for Fivem. That places it in the top 10.6% of all recorded combinations. The rank reflects the GPU's dominant contribution: the RTX 5090 sits at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, while the i5-10400F sits at the 68th percentile among all CPUs. The high GPU percentile explains why the combined rank is so strong despite the CPU being comparatively weaker.

The rank of 394 out of 3707 combos means that 3313 other tested combinations rank below this pairing. The 3313 combos with worse ranks would include systems with weaker GPUs, weaker CPUs, or balanced mid-range pairings. The 393 combos ranked above it would likely feature newer, higher-end CPUs paired with the RTX 5090 or similar top-tier GPUs. Since the i5-10400F is a 10th-gen part from 2020, it represents a potential bottleneck in CPU-heavy scenarios, but the measured FPS data shows that this does not prevent excellent results in Fivem.

The percentile data reinforces the imbalance: the GPU at the 92nd percentile is a top-tier component, while the CPU at the 68th percentile is above average but not elite. The combination still ranks highly because Fivem's performance in the measured data scales more with GPU settings than with CPU capability. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 4748 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10283 indicate a competent CPU, but not one that would compete with modern flagship processors. The overall rank of 394 out of 3707 is a strong showing for a pairing with such a wide gap between CPU generations.

At 4K Ultra, the measured average of 70 FPS shows that the GPU can push high pixel counts effectively. At 1080p Low, the measured average of 222.5 FPS shows that the CPU can handle high frame rate scenarios. The rank captures the aggregate performance across all presets and confirms that neither component is holding back the other enough to prevent a top-tier ranking.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings preset is Ultra, with an average FPS of 171.3 FPS.
