Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-11400F sits in a tightly contested performance band. Its average benchmark score of 17177 places it within 1% of several very different processors. The AMD EPYC 7H12 scores 17120, a 0.3% deficit, while the Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, a 0.4% advantage. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is 0.6% ahead at 17278, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U trails by 0.6% at 17074. In practical terms, a system built with any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios, though their core counts and platform features differ substantially.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 records an average benchmark score of 16014. Its closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 16129, which is 0.7% faster. The AMD Radeon R9 370X and AMD Radeon RX 7700 both sit at 15862, a 1% gap, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 trails by 2.1% at 15679. The RX 9060 effectively trades blows with the RTX 3060 Ti, a card from a different generation and vendor, meaning users upgrading from either direction should expect similar rasterization performance in Fivem. The RX 7700 and R9 370X are also within striking distance, making them viable alternatives for matching this build's frame output.

For the complete combo, the database ranks this pairing at 2172 out of 3707 tested combinations. That places it in the upper-middle portion of the field, not a flagship setup but far from the bottom. Users considering this build should compare against the specific rivals listed above rather than chasing generational marketing claims, as the measured deltas are small enough to be lost in run-to-run variance.

CPU and GPU Roles

Fivem's workload shifts between the CPU and GPU depending on resolution and preset. The recorded data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 175. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 115, a 34% reduction, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 64, another 44% cut. This steep scaling with resolution indicates that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as pixel count rises. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake part with a 4.40 GHz boost clock, has enough headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus limit throughput at higher pixel counts.

At Ultra settings, the pattern is similar but more pronounced. The 1920x1080 Ultra average is 86 FPS, dropping to 56 FPS at 2560x1440, a 35% loss, then to 31 FPS at 3840x2160, a 45% further reduction. The GPU's pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s are pushed hard at 4K with maxed settings. Meanwhile, the CPU's role is more visible in the gap between presets at the same resolution. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs 89 FPS (175 to 86), which reflects both increased draw calls and heavier GPU work. At 4K, the same preset jump costs 33 FPS (64 to 31), showing that the GPU is already saturated and CPU-side setting changes matter less.

The verdict is clear: for this combo, the GPU dominates performance scaling across resolutions, while the CPU is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at 1080p and 1440p. At 4K, even the GPU cannot keep up with High or Ultra presets, and the CPU's contribution becomes secondary. The 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth of the i5-11400F and its 12 MB shared L3 cache are adequate for Fivem's multiplayer workloads, which tend to favor single-thread performance; the CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 868 and passmark single-thread score of 2981 support this.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions and four presets, with average FPS recorded for all, and minimum/maximum FPS captured for Medium settings only.

At 3840x2160, the RX 9060 and i5-11400F combination produces an average of 40 FPS on High, 64 FPS on Low, 50 FPS on Medium, and 31 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 58 FPS, a narrow band that suggests consistent frame delivery. Low is the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so with a 4 FPS margin.

At 2560x1440, the results are more comfortable. High averages 73 FPS, Low averages 115 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 and maximum of 105, and Ultra averages 56 FPS. The Medium preset's range of 28 FPS indicates some scene-dependent variance, but the minimum stays well above playable levels. Ultra remains below 60 FPS, making it the only non-playable option at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, all presets clear 60 FPS comfortably. Low averages 175 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS with a minimum of 117 and maximum of 159, High averages 111 FPS, and Ultra averages 86 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 117 FPS shows that even in heavy multiplayer scenes, the frame rate stays high. The gap between Low and Ultra is 89 FPS, which gives users a wide range of visual quality options without sacrificing playability.

The absence of min/max data for most presets means the database only provides average figures for those configurations, but the Medium preset data suggests that frame pacing is stable enough for competitive play in most scenarios.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the experience varies sharply by resolution. The playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and the recorded verdict confirms which settings achieve that target.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, with an average of 64 FPS. Medium at 50 FPS, High at 40 FPS, and Ultra at 31 FPS all fall short. At 2560x1440, High, Medium, and Low are playable, with High averaging 73 FPS as the best quality option. Ultra at 56 FPS misses the threshold. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, including Ultra at 86 FPS.

The practical takeaway: this combo delivers a smooth 1080p experience at maximum settings, a solid 1440p experience up to High settings, and a 4K experience only at Low settings. Users with 1080p or 1440p monitors will find this build well-suited for Fivem. Those targeting 4K will need to accept significant visual compromises or look for a stronger GPU, as the RX 9060's 59th percentile standing among all GPUs reflects its mid-range positioning.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all 3707 tested CPU and GPU combinations in the database for Fivem, this pairing ranks 2172nd. That places it in the 58th percentile of tested systems, meaning roughly 42% of tested combos perform better and 58% perform worse. The rank reflects the entire system's measured FPS across all resolution and preset combinations, not just peak performance.

The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 71, while the GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is 59. The gap between these two figures suggests the GPU is the limiting factor for overall ranking. A stronger GPU paired with the same CPU would likely move the combo higher in the rankings, while a stronger CPU with this GPU would yield diminishing returns. The nearest rival CPUs, such as the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G and Core Ultra 7 164U, would likely produce similar combo ranks when paired with this GPU, given their close benchmark scores.

Best Settings per Resolution

For users who want the highest visual quality while maintaining at least 60 FPS average, the database identifies the most demanding playable preset for each resolution.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Low, with an average FPS of 64. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the threshold, and it does so by a narrow margin. Pushing to Medium drops the average to 50 FPS, which is not playable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, with an average FPS of 73. Medium at 91 FPS and Low at 115 FPS are also playable, but High offers the best visual fidelity among the three. Ultra at 56 FPS is not playable.

At 1920x1080, the best playable setting is Ultra, with an average FPS of 86. This is the full visual experience at a playable frame rate. High at 111 FPS, Medium at 138 FPS, and Low at 175 FPS are also available for users who prefer higher frame rates over visual quality.

These settings assume a 60 FPS target. Users with high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors may prefer Medium or Low to push toward 138 or 175 FPS, respectively, while those with 1440p displays should stick to High for the best balance. At 4K, the Low preset is the only viable option, and even then, the 64 FPS average leaves little headroom for demanding multiplayer scenes.
