Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a broad performance envelope across the four tested presets. The Low preset produces an average of 249.2 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this combination at any resolution. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 198 FPS, a reduction of roughly 20 percent from Low. The High preset yields 155.6 FPS, while Ultra settles at 122.9 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a total drop of 126.3 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset imposes a substantial additional load compared to the lowest settings.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 161.8 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium follows at 127.8 FPS, then High at 105.7 FPS, and finally Ultra at 82.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 79.5 FPS, narrower than at 1080p. Every preset at 1440p remains comfortably playable, with even the most demanding setting staying above 80 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes noticeably. The Low preset averages 90.3 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS line with room to spare. Medium averages 71.6 FPS, still above the threshold but with less headroom. High drops to 59 FPS, just shy of the 60 FPS mark. Ultra falls to 46.7 FPS, which is the only preset across all resolutions that lands significantly below playable levels. The recorded data shows no minimum or maximum FPS values for any resolution or settings combination, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its role in this combo. The AMD EPYC 7H12 scores 0.3 percent higher on average, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U is 0.6 percent ahead. On the other side, the Intel Core i5-12450H trails by 0.4 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is 0.6 percent behind. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these processors would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU. The i5-11400F sits at the 71st percentile of all CPUs in the database, so it is not a bottleneck in this configuration.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show a similar cluster of scores. The NVIDIA P106-100 is 0.3 percent ahead, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 also leads by 0.3 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M and AMD Radeon R9 M290X both trail by 0.4 percent. The RTX 3080 ranks at the 68th percentile of all GPUs, and the tiny deltas among these rivals mean that swapping in any of them would change Fivem performance by less than half a percent. The practical implication is that this GPU is well matched with its immediate competitors in synthetic benchmarks, though the RTX 3080's higher absolute score of 23172 versus the rivals' scores in the 23249 to 23276 range suggests these are all very close in raw capability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals how the balance shifts. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because the GPU can produce frames quickly enough to expose processor limits. The jump from 122.9 FPS at Ultra 1080p to 82.3 FPS at Ultra 1440p is a 40.6 FPS drop, a 33 percent reduction. That is a large penalty for a resolution increase, indicating that the GPU is becoming more stressed at 1440p. From 1440p Ultra to 2160p Ultra, the drop is from 82.3 to 46.7 FPS, a 35.6 FPS decline or 43 percent. The GPU's load grows disproportionately as resolution climbs.

Looking at the Low preset, the pattern is similar. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 249.2 FPS, which is likely CPU-bound given that the GPU could theoretically go higher. At 1440p Low, it falls to 161.8 FPS, and at 2160p Low, it drops to 90.3 FPS. The differences between presets at a fixed resolution also show the GPU's role. At 2160p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 43.6 FPS (90.3 to 46.7), while at 1080p the same spread is 126.3 FPS (249.2 to 122.9). The much wider spread at 1080p means the GPU has headroom to respond to settings changes, whereas at 2160p it is already near its limits even on Low.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor on Low and Medium, since the GPU could likely render more frames if allowed. At 1440p, the balance is more even, with both components contributing to the final result. At 2160p, the GPU dominates the performance equation, and the CPU's role diminishes. The fact that 1080p Ultra still reaches 122.9 FPS indicates that even in the most demanding setting at the lowest resolution, the combination avoids severe CPU bottlenecks.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this CPU and GPU pairing at rank 1047 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem. That puts it in the top 28 percent of all configs in the database. The rank reflects the combined capability of the i5-11400F and RTX 3080 specifically for this game, not their standalone scores. Given that the CPU sits at the 71st percentile and the GPU at the 68th percentile, the combo's rank is consistent with both components being above average but not top-tier. The rank of 1047 means there are 1046 combinations that deliver higher average FPS in Fivem, which is plausible given that newer CPUs and GPUs exist with higher benchmark scores. However, the measured FPS data shows that this combo still clears 60 FPS at every resolution except 2160p Ultra and 2160p High, so the rank does not translate to poor playability in most scenarios.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 122.9, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the highest playable setting at 3840x2160?

A: The recorded average is 82.3 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and leaves room for demanding scenes.

Q: Does the combo rank in the top half of all tested configurations?

A: Yes. It ranks 1047 out of 3707, placing it in the upper 28 percent of all combos tested for Fivem.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is fully playable with an average of 122.9 FPS. This is the most demanding setting available, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. There is no reason to lower settings at this resolution for playability, although players seeking higher frame rates could drop to High for 155.6 FPS or Medium for 198 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Ultra also works well, averaging 82.3 FPS. This is above 60 FPS, so the most visually demanding preset is viable. The next step down, High, offers 105.7 FPS for those who prefer smoother motion over maximum detail. Low and Medium are also above 60 FPS, so all four presets are playable.

At 3840x2160, the situation is different. Medium is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, with an average of 71.6 FPS. High falls to 59 FPS, which is just below the threshold. Ultra is not playable at 4K, averaging only 46.7 FPS. Low is the only other option above 60 FPS, at 90.3 FPS, but Medium provides a better visual experience while still clearing the line.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem at all three tested resolutions, but not at every preset. At 1920x1080, every preset including Ultra clears 60 FPS, with the lowest result being 122.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 82.3 FPS as the worst case. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium at 71.6 FPS being the best playable setting. High at 59 FPS and Ultra at 46.7 FPS fall short of the 60 FPS target. The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p and 1440p allow maximum settings, while 4K requires a reduction to Medium for a stable experience above the threshold. The data shows no min or max FPS values, so the average figures represent the overall performance, but they are consistent enough to conclude that this combo is well suited for Fivem at all but the most demanding 4K settings.
