Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i5-11400F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all presets. The Low preset reaches an average of 261.8 FPS, while Medium averages 205.6 FPS. High settings produce 164.1 FPS on average, and Ultra remains well above the 60 FPS playability threshold at 130.1 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a predictable scaling pattern, with each step up in quality costing roughly 50 FPS on average, yet even the most demanding preset leaves substantial headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same hardware configuration continues to perform strongly. Low settings average 171.7 FPS, Medium drops to 134.7 FPS, and High settles at 106.2 FPS. Ultra at 1440p still clears the playability threshold comfortably with 85.6 FPS average. The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 34 to 38 percent across all presets, which is a typical scaling pattern for a GPU-bound scenario at these settings.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes noticeably. Low settings average 91.8 FPS, Medium averages 74.7 FPS, and High drops to 59 FPS, just below the 60 FPS playability mark. Ultra at 4K averages 49 FPS, which is the only tested configuration that falls significantly short of playable performance. The 4K results show that this combination can handle the game at Low and Medium presets, but the higher quality settings push the GPU beyond its comfortable operating range at this resolution. The recorded data does not include minimum or maximum frame rates, so the analysis relies on average FPS values alone.

CPU and GPU Roles

The interaction between the Intel Core i5-11400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 shifts depending on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all settings, with Low reaching 261.8 FPS and Ultra still hitting 130.1 FPS. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the CPU has enough single-thread and multi-thread performance to feed the GPU adequately, even at Low settings where the rendering load is minimal. The 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake processor, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, appears to be the limiting factor at the lower end of the preset scale, since the GPU is capable of far more than 261.8 FPS if the CPU could keep up.

At 2560x1440, the rendering load increases and the GPU begins to play a larger role. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p shows a drop from 171.7 FPS to 85.6 FPS, a reduction of approximately 50 percent. This is consistent with a scenario where the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, while the CPU still maintains sufficient throughput to avoid severe frame rate collapse. The fact that even Ultra at 1440p stays above 85 FPS indicates that neither component is being pushed to its absolute limit at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. The frame rate drops from 91.8 FPS at Low to 49 FPS at Ultra, a 46.6 percent reduction. The RTX 4070, with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and a 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, is being stressed heavily at 4K, particularly at High and Ultra presets. The CPU's role diminishes at this resolution, as the GPU's rendering workload becomes the deciding factor. The 59 FPS result at 4K High, just under the playability threshold, illustrates how close the GPU operates to its practical limit at this resolution, while the CPU's contribution is largely masked by the GPU bottleneck.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem at all three tested resolutions, but not at every preset. At 1920x1080, every setting from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 130.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, and Ultra averages 85.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 74.7 FPS and Low averaging 91.8 FPS. High at 4K falls just short at 59 FPS, and Ultra at 4K is not playable at 49 FPS. The verdict by resolution confirms that this combination is best suited to 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it provides substantial headroom above the 60 FPS target, while 4K gaming is limited to the lower presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F provide a useful reference for CPU performance. The AMD EPYC 7H12 scores 17120 on average, a 0.3 percent difference from the i5-11400F's 17177. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, which is 0.4 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, 0.6 percent higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17074, 0.6 percent lower. These four CPUs would behave nearly identically in Fivem, as their average benchmark scores fall within a narrow 1.2 percent band.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070's nearest rivals are similarly close in performance. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, just 0.1 percent lower than the RTX 4070's 37648. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, 0.4 percent lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, 1.3 percent higher, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157, 1.3 percent lower. Systems built with any of these cards paired with the i5-11400F would produce frame rates within a few percent of the recorded results in Fivem, assuming the rest of the system is comparable.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 130.1 FPS. This leaves considerable room for frame rate fluctuations and still delivers a smooth experience. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best playable setting, averaging 85.6 FPS, which maintains a comfortable margin above the threshold. At 3840x2160, the best playable preset is Medium, averaging 74.7 FPS. High at 4K averages 59 FPS and does not meet the 60 FPS criterion, so Medium is the highest quality option that remains playable at this resolution. The data shows a clear pattern: 1080p and 1440p users can max out the game, while 4K users must compromise on preset quality to stay above the playability threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 842nd out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the configuration in the top 23 percent of all tested systems, a strong result that reflects the high frame rates measured at 1080p and 1440p. The rank is driven primarily by the GPU's performance, as the RTX 4070 sits in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU holds the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The gap between the two components' percentiles suggests that the GPU is the stronger contributor to this combination's overall standing in the database. The fact that 3707 combinations have been tested in this game, and this pair lands inside the top quarter, indicates that it is a competitive setup for Fivem, particularly for users targeting high refresh rates at 1080p or smooth 60 FPS gameplay at 1440p. The 4K results, while playable only at Medium and below, do not significantly drag down the rank because the majority of tested scenarios at lower resolutions perform exceptionally well.
