Fivem

The pairing of an Intel Core i5-11400F with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D presents an unusual combination for Fivem, but the recorded data shows this setup delivers playable frame rates across every tested setting and resolution. The database indicates that even the most demanding preset, Ultra, stays above the 60 FPS threshold at 3840x2160, which sets the stage for a detailed look at how this hardware behaves in a multiplayer environment.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 147 FPS, Medium averages 116 FPS with a minimum of 99 and a maximum of 133, High averages 93 FPS, and Ultra averages 72 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one at this resolution with recorded min/max values, and the spread between 99 and 133 shows some variance, but the average remains well above the playable threshold. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset jumps to 228 FPS, Medium to 209 FPS (min 178, max 240), High to 167 FPS, and Ultra to 130 FPS. At 1920x1080, the numbers climb further: Low hits 262 FPS, Medium 241 FPS (min 205, max 277), High 222 FPS, and Ultra 197 FPS. The pattern is clear: each resolution step down adds a significant FPS boost, and each preset step down also adds FPS, with the Low preset always providing the highest average.

The min/max data for Medium presets at all three resolutions reveals that frame times are stable enough to keep the minimum above 178 FPS even at 1440p, and above 99 FPS at 4K. That consistency suggests the combination handles the game's multiplayer load without severe dips, at least in the recorded scenarios. Notably, the database only provides min/max for Medium, so the variance at other presets remains unquantified, but the average values alone already paint a picture of a system with ample headroom.

Best Settings per Resolution

For players who want the highest visual quality while maintaining at least 60 FPS, the answer is simple: Ultra at every resolution. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 72 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 130 FPS, and at 1920x1080, it reaches 197 FPS. Since Ultra is the most demanding preset available, and it stays above 60 FPS everywhere, there is no need to compromise on settings. The database's verdict confirms this, listing Ultra as the best setting at each resolution. This means players can max out the game without worrying about frame rate drops, even at 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a strong scaling with both resolution and preset, which points to the GPU as the dominant factor in this combination. The RTX 5090 D sits in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, while the i5-11400F is in the 71st percentile of CPUs. That gap suggests the GPU has more headroom relative to its peers than the CPU does. In practice, the frame rates at 1080p Low (262 FPS) and at 4K Low (147 FPS) show that even at the lowest preset, the GPU is still the limiting factor when resolution increases. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the FPS to plateau at higher resolutions, but the data shows a steady decline from 1080p to 1440p to 4K at every preset level. For example, at Ultra, the average drops from 197 to 130 to 72 as resolution increases, a consistent pattern that aligns with GPU-bound behavior.

The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is not holding back the GPU in this title. The recorded benchmark scores place the i5-11400F at 17177 average, which is respectable, but the GPU's 77712 average is far higher relative to its own pool. This suggests that in Fivem, the graphics card is doing the heavy lifting, and the processor is sufficient to keep up with the frame generation. The percentile disparity further reinforces that the GPU is the primary performance driver, and any CPU upgrade would likely yield diminishing returns unless paired with an even stronger GPU.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals from the database, the i5-11400F's average benchmark score is within 0.6% of several other CPUs. The AMD EPYC 7H12 scores 0.3% higher, the Intel Core i5-12450H scores 0.4% lower, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 0.6% lower, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 0.6% higher. These processors would deliver nearly identical CPU performance in Fivem, so if a builder swaps in any of them, the frame rates would likely stay within a small margin, assuming the GPU remains the same. The tight clustering of these scores means that the choice among them would not significantly alter the overall experience.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D's average score of 77712 is closely matched by several other cards. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT is 1.1% higher, the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is 1.6% lower, and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB and 16 GB are 2.1% and 2.4% lower, respectively. These alternatives would produce similar overall performance, though in-game results can vary due to driver optimizations. For Fivem specifically, the recorded data for this combo shows that even a small difference in GPU score would translate to a small FPS change, likely keeping the system well above 60 FPS at 4K Ultra. The GPU's rivals are all within a few percentage points, so any of them would offer a comparable experience in this title.

The Verdict

The recorded data leaves no ambiguity: this PC can run Fivem at maximum settings across all tested resolutions. The verdict by resolution confirms that all settings are playable, with Ultra at 3840x2160 averaging 72 FPS, at 2560x1440 averaging 130 FPS, and at 1920x1080 averaging 197 FPS.
