Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a well-matched combination for Fivem, but the experience varies dramatically depending on your target resolution and graphics preset. The recorded data shows that at 1080p this combo is exceptionally strong, delivering smooth frame rates even at the highest settings, while at 1440p it remains very capable but requires a slight compromise on the top-tier preset. At 4K, the hardware struggles to maintain a consistently playable experience, with only the lowest settings coming close to the 60 FPS threshold. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across all resolutions and settings to provide a clear picture of what to expect.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured average frame rates for twelve distinct combinations of resolution and quality preset. The data does not include minimum or maximum frame rate values, so the analysis relies entirely on the average FPS figures to assess performance.

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its strongest performance. With the Low preset, the average frame rate reaches 157.8 FPS. Moving up to Medium, the average drops to 122.9 FPS, which is still an excellent result for competitive play. The High preset produces an average of 100.3 FPS, maintaining a significant margin above the playability threshold. Even at the Ultra preset, which is typically the most demanding configuration, the average frame rate remains high at 79.7 FPS. This progression shows a steady, predictable scaling of performance cost as visual quality increases, with a total drop of 78.1 FPS from Low to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down as expected but remains largely playable. The Low preset delivers an average of 105.8 FPS, which is a strong result for a higher resolution. The Medium preset follows with an average of 84 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS target. High settings produce an average of 64.4 FPS, which just clears the playable threshold. The Ultra preset, however, falls below the line with an average of 49.3 FPS, indicating that the most demanding settings at this resolution are too much for the hardware to handle smoothly.

At 3840x2160, the performance takes a significant hit across all presets. The Low preset manages an average of 59.4 FPS, which is marginally below the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset drops to 49.1 FPS, and High settings fall further to 33.9 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, producing an average of only 27.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a drop of 31.9 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU is heavily taxed at 4K.

The data reveals that the gap between Low and High settings is much larger at 4K than at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and High is 57.5 FPS, while at 4K the difference is only 25.5 FPS. This indicates that at higher resolutions, the system is operating closer to its limits, and the relative cost of each preset becomes less pronounced because the hardware is already saturated.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS average. The best settings for each resolution are determined by identifying the most demanding preset that stays at or above this threshold.

At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS mark. The most demanding preset that remains playable is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 79.7 FPS. This means users can run the game at maximum visual quality at this resolution without any performance concerns. The margin above the threshold is 19.7 FPS, providing a comfortable buffer for busy multiplayer scenes.

At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low, Medium, and High. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 64.4 FPS. This is a solid result, though the margin above the threshold is only 4.4 FPS, which could be tight in demanding moments. The Ultra preset is not playable at this resolution, as it produces an average of 49.3 FPS.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves an average of 60 FPS or higher. The closest is Low, with an average of 59.4 FPS, which falls just short of the threshold. As a result, there is no recommended best setting for 4K, as the hardware cannot maintain a playable frame rate at any quality level.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the system achieves very high frame rates, with the Low preset hitting 157.8 FPS. This suggests that the GPU is not fully saturated at lower resolutions, and the CPU is capable of feeding frames quickly enough to support these high numbers. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop of 78.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes more involved as settings increase, but it still has enough headroom to handle the load.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down noticeably. The Low preset drops from 157.8 FPS at 1080p to 105.8 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 52 FPS. This is a significant decrease, and it suggests that the GPU is starting to become the limiting factor. The High preset at 1440p produces 64.4 FPS, which is much closer to the playable threshold. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 49.3 FPS, showing that the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates with the most demanding settings at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The Low preset produces 59.4 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS target. The High preset drops to 33.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 27.5 FPS. The performance scaling between presets at 4K is compressed compared to lower resolutions, which indicates that the GPU is fully saturated and unable to render additional visual effects without a major hit to frame rate. The CPU role becomes less relevant at 4K because the GPU cannot produce enough frames to put pressure on the processor.

The resolution scaling also highlights the GPU's role. When moving from 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the frame rate drops by 52 FPS. When moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low, the frame rate drops by another 46.4 FPS. These large drops across resolutions confirm that the GPU is the primary factor in determining performance, especially as pixel count increases. The CPU is sufficient for the task, but the GPU determines the ceiling for playable settings.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER can run Fivem, but the experience is highly dependent on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable of running the game at the Ultra preset, with an average frame rate of 79.7 FPS. This is the best-case scenario, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold with a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable at High settings, with an average of 64.4 FPS. This is a viable option for users who want a higher resolution, but the margin above the threshold is slim. The Ultra preset is not playable at this resolution, as the average drops to 49.3 FPS. Users who prioritize smoothness over visual fidelity can opt for Medium settings, which produce 84 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot maintain a playable frame rate at any preset. The Low preset comes closest with an average of 59.4 FPS, but it falls just short of the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully playable at all settings, 1440p is playable up to High settings, and 4K is not playable. For the best experience, 1080p with Ultra settings is the recommended configuration, offering both high visual quality and smooth performance.
