Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the Intel Core i5-11400F and Intel Arc B580 combination covers three resolutions and four quality presets. The measurements focus on average frame rates, as minimum and maximum values were not captured in this dataset.

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers strong results across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 152.7 FPS, Medium reaches 118.5 FPS, High hits 99 FPS, and Ultra maintains 72.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a drop of roughly half the frame rate, which is typical for a game that responds well to graphical quality changes.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable but with a noticeable reduction. Low settings average 99.7 FPS, Medium drops to 80.3 FPS, High settles at 60.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.4 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs about 35% of the frame rate at Low settings, and the gap narrows at higher presets. At Ultra, the 1440p result sits below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings average 57.3 FPS, Medium drops to 44 FPS, High falls to 36.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 29.8 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data shows that 4K gaming with this combo requires either a reduction in settings below what was tested or acceptance of sub-60 FPS performance.

The measured FPS values show a consistent pattern: the Arc B580 handles 1080p with headroom, manages 1440p with some compromises, and struggles at 4K. The absence of min and max FPS values means the analysis relies on averages, which can mask frame time spikes, but the overall trend is clear.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database defines playable performance as an average of at least 60 FPS. Using that threshold, the best playable setting at each resolution is the most demanding preset that still holds 60 FPS or higher.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 72.4 FPS on average. This is the highest quality preset tested, and it clears the 60 FPS bar by a comfortable margin. The combination has enough headroom that even the most demanding setting remains fully playable. For users who prefer maximum visual fidelity, Ultra at 1080p is the clear choice.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, which averages 60.9 FPS. This result just barely crosses the 60 FPS threshold, leaving only 0.9 FPS of headroom. Medium and Low also qualify as playable, but they offer lower visual quality. Ultra at 1440p averages 51.4 FPS, which falls short of the playable mark. The data suggests that High at 1440p is the practical ceiling for this combo, though the margin is thin and in-game scenes with heavy effects could push the average lower.

At 3840x2160, no setting reaches the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 57.3 FPS, which is the closest result, but it still misses the playable bar. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind. The verdict from the database lists no playable settings at 4K, meaning users who want 4K with this hardware must either lower the resolution or accept frame rates below 60 FPS.

The best settings summary: 1080p Ultra at 72.4 FPS, 1440p High at 60.9 FPS, and no playable option at 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Rocket Lake generation, with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel Arc B580 GPU features 2560 shading units, 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, and a boost clock of 2670 MHz. Understanding which component drives Fivem's performance at each resolution requires examining how frame rates change across presets and resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the frame rate scales strongly with preset quality. Low settings produce 152.7 FPS, while Ultra produces 72.4 FPS. The 80 FPS difference between Low and Ultra indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The CPU has enough headroom at 1080p to feed the GPU, and the limiting factor becomes the GPU's ability to render more complex scenes. The Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 427.2 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient for high frame rates at this resolution, but Ultra settings increase the workload enough to cut performance nearly in half.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low settings average 99.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 51.4 FPS. The pixel count increases by 78% compared to 1080p, which directly impacts the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth usage. The Arc B580's 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate become more significant factors. The CPU still has capacity to spare, as evidenced by the 99.7 FPS at Low settings, but the GPU's workload is now substantially heavier. The result is a larger performance penalty at higher presets, with Ultra losing about 48% of the Low setting's frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the performance picture. Even Low settings only reach 57.3 FPS, below the playable threshold. The 4K resolution quadruples the pixel count of 1080p, placing extreme demands on the GPU's pixel rate and memory subsystem. The CPU is no longer the limiting factor at any preset, as the Arc B580 cannot sustain high frame rates regardless of how light the CPU workload becomes. The data indicates that Fivem at 4K is purely GPU-bound for this combination.

Comparing across resolutions at the same preset tells a similar story. At High settings, the frame rates are 99 FPS at 1080p, 60.9 FPS at 1440p, and 36.7 FPS at 4K. This represents a 63% drop from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the values are 152.7 FPS, 99.7 FPS, and 57.3 FPS, a 62% drop. The consistent percentage decline suggests that resolution scaling is driven by GPU throughput rather than CPU limitations. The CPU's performance, as measured by its 14,340 Cinebench R23 multicore score and 5,652 3DMark max threads score, is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at high frame rates.

The conclusion is that the CPU matters most at lower resolutions where frame rates are high, but even then, the i5-11400F has enough processing power. The GPU becomes increasingly important as resolution rises, and at 4K it is the sole determinant of performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 2814 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, around the 24th percentile of all recorded pairings. The rank reflects the mid-range nature of both components.

The CPU's individual percentile versus all CPUs is 71, meaning it outperforms 71% of tested processors. The GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is 68, outperforming 68% of tested graphics cards. Despite both components sitting above the 50th percentile individually, the combined rank in Fivem is below the median. This suggests that Fivem's performance characteristics do not favor this pairing as strongly as synthetic benchmarks might indicate.

The game's multiplayer nature likely introduces CPU overhead for network handling and player simulation, but the recorded data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo performs well, with Ultra settings exceeding 72 FPS. The rank of 2814 out of 3707 means that many other combinations deliver higher frame rates, particularly those with more powerful GPUs or newer CPU architectures.

The combination's average benchmark score for the CPU is 17,177, and the GPU's average benchmark score is 23,021. These figures place both components in the upper-mid range, but the Fivem-specific rank shows that real-world gaming performance does not always align with aggregate benchmark scores. The rank indicates that for users seeking high-refresh-rate 1080p or smooth 1440p gameplay, this combo is serviceable, but it is not among the top performers in the database.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F provide context for what other CPUs would deliver similar CPU-side performance. The AMD EPYC 7H12 has an average score of 17,120, which is 0.3% higher than the i5-11400F's 17,177. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17,239, 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17,278, 0.6% lower. The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17,074, 0.6% higher. These deltas are tiny, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem with the same GPU.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest GPU rivals are similarly close. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP has an average score of 23,061, which is 0.2% lower than the Arc B580's 23,021. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22,895, 0.6% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23,172, 0.7% lower. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23,249, 1% lower. These differences are within the margin of measurement noise, so swapping the Arc B580 for any of these GPUs would result in similar frame rates in Fivem.

The practical implication is that the i5-11400F and Arc B580 combination sits in a performance cluster with several other CPUs and GPUs. Users upgrading from a similar system would see minimal FPS changes if they switched to one of these rivals. The RTX 3080, despite being a higher-tier product in other contexts, shows nearly identical average benchmark scores in this dataset, though its real-world gaming performance in specific titles could differ. For Fivem specifically, the data suggests that this performance tier is well-populated, and the choice between these components comes down to platform compatibility and feature preferences rather than raw FPS differences.
