Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1993rd out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. That places this setup in the 46th percentile of all recorded combos, meaning roughly 54% of tested systems deliver higher frame rates in this specific multiplayer title. The ranking reflects a mid-pack position, not a standout performer, but also not a bottom-tier configuration.

What matters more is how this combo behaves at specific resolutions and settings. The recorded data shows a system that can handle 1080p and 1440p gaming comfortably, with 4K being the only resolution where compromises become necessary. The rank of 1993 out of 3707 suggests that while the CPU and GPU are both capable parts on their own, the combination does not push into the upper echelon of Fivem performance. This is consistent with the individual component percentiles: the CPU sits at the 71st percentile among all processors, while the GPU lands at the 61st percentile among all graphics cards.

The average benchmark scores tell a similar story. The CPU's average benchmark score is 17177, while the GPU's is 17639. These are closely matched figures, but neither is exceptional. The combo's mid-pack rank in Fivem reflects this balance: the system performs predictably well at mainstream resolutions but does not dominate the leaderboard. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification framework built on Grand Theft Auto V, the multiplayer server load and draw distances can heavily influence frame rates, and this hardware combination handles those demands adequately without excelling.

CPU and GPU Roles

In Fivem, the division of labor between the Intel Core i5-11400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 shifts noticeably across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary driver of performance. The frame rates scale dramatically with settings: Low produces 189 FPS average, Medium drops to 149 FPS, High yields 119 FPS, and Ultra still manages 92 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 97 FPS, which is a 51% reduction from Low to Ultra. This wide spread indicates that the RTX 4060 has ample headroom at this resolution, and the CPU is not the limiting factor.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to feel more pressure, but the CPU still keeps pace. The frame rates at 1440p are: Low at 124 FPS, Medium at 98 FPS, High at 78 FPS, and Ultra at 61 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 63 FPS, a 51% reduction similar to 1080p. The fact that Ultra still clears 60 FPS at 1440p shows the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting, but the 6-core, 12-thread CPU with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz is not bottlenecking the system at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the CPU's role diminishes further and the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The frame rates at 4K are: Low at 69 FPS, Medium at 54 FPS, High at 44 FPS, and Ultra at 34 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 35 FPS drop, a 51% reduction that mirrors the other resolutions. However, the absolute numbers tell the real story: at 4K, only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus, with 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, simply cannot sustain higher settings at this resolution. The CPU's 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are irrelevant when the GPU is this heavily strained.

The pattern across resolutions shows that Fivem is GPU-bound at 1080p and 1440p, with the CPU providing enough single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 868 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2024) to avoid holding the system back. At 4K, the GPU's limitations dominate the conversation, and the CPU's performance becomes secondary.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F provide context for what other CPUs would behave similarly in this system. The AMD EPYC 7H12 has an average score of 17120, just 0.3% below the i5-11400F's 17177. This is a server-grade processor, but in terms of raw benchmark output, it would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, 0.4% higher, making it a slightly stronger alternative. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, 0.6% higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17074, 0.6% lower. All four of these CPUs are within a 1% performance band, so swapping any of them into this system would result in virtually indistinguishable Fivem performance.

For the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060's nearest rivals are all AMD parts, and the performance deltas are similarly tight. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, 0.2% higher than the RTX 4060's 17639. This is a much older card, but the benchmark scores indicate it would match the RTX 4060's frame rates in Fivem. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% lower. These GPUs would all fall within a 1% performance envelope of the RTX 4060 in this game.

What this means for a user looking at alternative hardware is that the exact choice of CPU or GPU within these rival groups would not meaningfully change the Fivem experience. The system would still hit the same frame rates at the same settings, and the same resolution limitations would apply. The 4K Low-only playability and the 1440p Ultra playability would carry over to any of these alternative combinations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements cover three resolutions and four settings presets each, with some entries including minimum and maximum frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest performance. Low settings produce an average of 189 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum. Medium settings average 149 FPS, with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS. High settings average 119 FPS. Ultra settings average 92 FPS. All four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin, with even the minimum recorded frame rate at Medium (127 FPS) well above playable levels.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but scales down as expected. Low settings average 124 FPS. Medium settings average 98 FPS, with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High settings average 78 FPS. Ultra settings average 61 FPS, which just barely clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. The minimum at Medium (83 FPS) is still above 60 FPS, indicating consistent performance without major dips.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles at higher presets. Low settings average 69 FPS, which is playable. Medium settings average 54 FPS, with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS. The minimum of 46 FPS would be noticeable during intense multiplayer moments. High settings average 44 FPS. Ultra settings average 34 FPS. Only Low settings maintain an average above 60 FPS, and the Medium preset's minimum frame rate of 46 FPS shows significant variance.

The measured data includes min and max values only for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the range is 127 to 171 FPS, a 44 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the range is 83 to 113 FPS, a 30 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range is 46 to 63 FPS, a 17 FPS spread. The narrower range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated, while the wider range at lower resolutions suggests CPU-side variability or less consistent frame pacing.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Fivem, but the experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every settings preset is playable, with Ultra averaging 92 FPS. This is the strongest performance tier for this combo. The best settings at 1080p are Ultra, and the average of 92 FPS provides comfortable headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system also delivers playable performance across all four presets. The best settings are Ultra, which averages 61 FPS. This is just above the 60 FPS threshold, so players who prefer a higher frame rate buffer could drop to High settings for 78 FPS average. The 1440p Medium preset shows a minimum of 83 FPS, indicating that even during demanding moments, the frame rate stays above playable levels.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable at Low settings, which average 69 FPS. The best settings at this resolution are Low. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 54, 44, and 34 FPS respectively. The Medium preset's minimum of 46 FPS means that even the second-lowest settings tier will produce noticeable stuttering in multiplayer scenarios.

The verdict is clear: this combo is a 1080p and 1440p machine for Fivem. At 1080p, it excels with Ultra settings. At 1440p, it is playable at Ultra with a slim margin, and comfortable at High. At 4K, only Low settings are viable. The CPU and GPU work well together at mainstream resolutions, but the GPU's memory subsystem limits 4K performance. For users with a 1080p or 1440p monitor, this system delivers a smooth Fivem experience. For 4K users, the system requires significant settings compromises to stay above 60 FPS.
