Fivem

The Intel Core i5-9400 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 delivers a playable experience in Fivem at 1080p across all presets, and at 1440p on Low and Medium settings, but falls short of 60 FPS at 4K. The combo ranks 2862 out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it in the lower portion of the database's field. The data shows that this system is best suited for 1080p gaming, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint as resolution increases.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have close neighbors in the database's average benchmark scores. For the Intel Core i5-9400, the average benchmark score is 2254. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-1068NG7 (score 2259, delta -0.2%), the Intel Core i7-10710U (score 2248, delta 0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 (score 2246, delta 0.4%), and the Intel Core i3-10305 (score 2264, delta -0.4%). These four processors all sit within a 0.4% margin of the i5-9400, meaning they would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem. The i5-9400 itself has a 47th percentile ranking among all CPUs, indicating that it sits just below the middle of the distribution.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 6600 records an average benchmark score of 19036. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 (score 19030, delta 0%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile (score 19049, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA Tesla K20m (score 19089, delta -0.3%), and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation (score 18954, delta 0.4%). All of these graphics cards fall within a 0.4% band of the RX 6600, so they would produce similar frame rates in Fivem when paired with a comparable CPU. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above the median, though the overall combo rank is dragged down by the CPU's more modest standing.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the balance shifts between CPU and GPU as resolution and settings change. At 1920x1080, the system reaches 149.1 FPS on Low settings, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. This high frame rate suggests that the i5-9400 is capable of feeding the RX 6600 at 1080p without becoming a bottleneck. As settings rise to Medium, High, and Ultra, the average FPS drops to 116.4, 93.0, and 70.3 respectively. The drop from Low to Ultra is about 53%, a clear indication that the GPU is handling most of the rendering load.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings produce 95 FPS, Medium 75.8, High 58, and Ultra 44.5. The drop from Low to Ultra is again roughly 53%. At 3840x2160, the system manages only 54.4 FPS on Low, 45 on Medium, 32.2 on High, and 29 on Ultra. The relative reduction from Low to Ultra is about 47%, slightly smaller than at lower resolutions, but the absolute values are far below playable levels.

The scaling across resolutions at the same preset is more telling. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 93 at 1080p to 58 at 1440p to 32.2 at 4K. That is a 38% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline points to the GPU being the dominant factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU still has headroom, as evidenced by the 149.1 FPS on Low. But as resolution climbs, the GPU's workload increases disproportionately, and the RX 6600's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting. The data indicates that the CPU's role is more significant at 1080p, while the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck at 1440p and especially at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded average frame rates for each resolution and preset are as follows:

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

|------------|----------|-------------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 32.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 54.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 45.0 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 29.0 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 58.0 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 95.0 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 75.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 44.5 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 93.0 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 149.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 116.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 70.3 |

No minimum or maximum frame rates were recorded, so the averages are the only available metric. At 1080p, every preset exceeds 60 FPS, with the lowest being Ultra at 70.3. At 1440p, Low and Medium stay above 60 (95 and 75.8), while High (58) and Ultra (44.5) fall short. At 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS; even Low only manages 54.4.

The Verdict

According to the database's playable threshold of 60 FPS, this system can run Fivem at 1920x1080 on all four presets. The best 1080p experience is on Ultra, which still delivers 70.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium being the best choice at 75.8 FPS. High and Ultra at 1440p fall below the threshold. At 3840x2160, none of the settings reach 60 FPS, so 4K is not a viable option for this combo. The verdict is clear: the system is fully capable at 1080p, partially capable at 1440p, and not capable at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-9400 and AMD Radeon RX 6600 combination holds a rank of 2862 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower quarter of the field, meaning that the majority of tested hardware configurations outperform it in this specific game. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking is respectable, but the CPU's 47th percentile drags the overall score down. The measured FPS at 1080p, however, shows that the combo still meets the playable threshold on all presets, so the rank reflects relative performance against other systems rather than an absolute inability to run the game. For users targeting 1080p, the rank is less concerning; for those expecting 1440p or 4K performance, the low rank aligns with the observed frame rates.
