Fivem

The Intel Core i5-9400 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 delivers a strong performance profile for Fivem, though 4K gaming requires compromises. At 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, the combination handles every preset above the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset averaging 98 FPS and 65 FPS respectively. The 3840x2160 resolution is more demanding, where only the Low preset maintains an average of 73 FPS, while Medium dips to 58 FPS and High falls to 46 FPS. The data indicates this combo is best suited for high-refresh 1080p or 1440p play, with 4K limited to low settings for smooth performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows substantial headroom across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 200 FPS, which is the highest measured value for this combination. Medium settings yield an average of 158 FPS, with recorded minimum and maximum values of 134 and 182 FPS respectively. High settings reduce the average to 126 FPS, while the Ultra preset still maintains an average of 98 FPS. All four presets at this resolution clear the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin, making 1080p the most comfortable environment for this hardware.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust but the scaling between presets becomes more pronounced. The Low preset averages 132 FPS, which is a 34% reduction compared to the same preset at 1080p. Medium settings deliver an average of 104 FPS, with a recorded range of 88 to 120 FPS. High settings produce 83 FPS on average, and the Ultra preset holds an average of 65 FPS, just above the playable threshold. The step from Medium to High at this resolution costs 21 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs an additional 18 FPS, indicating that the most demanding preset is approaching the limit of comfortable performance.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals a significant drop in capability. The Low preset averages 73 FPS, which is the only setting at this resolution to stay above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 58 FPS, with minimum and maximum values of 49 and 66 FPS, meaning the experience will fluctuate between playable and stutter-prone territory. High settings drop to 46 FPS on average, and the Ultra preset falls to 36 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 15 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 10 FPS, showing that each tier of graphical fidelity carries a meaningful performance cost at this resolution.

The measured data shows a consistent pattern where the difference between Low and Ultra grows with resolution. At 1080p, the spread is 102 FPS (200 to 98), at 1440p it is 67 FPS (132 to 65), and at 4K it narrows to 37 FPS (73 to 36). This suggests that at higher resolutions, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, compressing the performance range across presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The database positions this Intel Core i5-9400 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 combination at rank 1681 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places the setup in the 45th percentile of all recorded configurations, meaning roughly 55% of tested systems deliver better overall performance in this game. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing: the CPU sits at the 47th percentile against all CPUs in the database, while the GPU reaches the 58th percentile against all GPUs. The GPU is comparatively stronger than the CPU, which shapes the performance characteristics seen in the measured FPS data.

Looking at the component-level competition, the RX 7700 holds an average benchmark score of 15852. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon R9 370X at 15862 (0.1% faster), the AMD Radeon RX 9060 at 16014 (1% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 16129 (1.7% faster). The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 trails at 15679, which is 1.1% slower. These margins are small, indicating the RX 7700 sits in a tightly contested performance band where no single rival holds a decisive advantage.

For the CPU side, the i5-9400 averages 2254 in benchmark scores. The Intel Core i7-1068NG7 is effectively tied at 2259 (0.2% faster), while the Intel Core i7-10710U scores 2248 (0.3% slower). The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 1500 matches closely at 2246 (0.4% slower), and the Intel Core i3-10305 leads the group at 2264 (0.4% faster). The processor is not a weak link in this pairing, but it does not provide the same headroom as the GPU, which becomes evident when analyzing performance scaling across resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem effectively at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 across all settings. The verdict data confirms that 1080p supports every preset above 60 FPS, with the Ultra preset delivering 98 FPS on average. At 1440p, all presets also remain playable, with Ultra averaging 65 FPS. For users prioritizing visual fidelity at these resolutions, the combination offers a smooth experience without needing to reduce settings.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is more restrictive. The only playable setting is Low, which averages 73 FPS. Medium dips to 58 FPS, which sits just below the 60 FPS threshold and will produce occasional frame drops. High and Ultra are not viable for smooth play at 4K, with averages of 46 and 36 FPS respectively. The data clearly indicates that 4K gaming with this hardware requires accepting low graphical settings.

The overall verdict is positive for mainstream resolutions. The combo ranks in the upper half of tested configurations, and the measured FPS numbers show a system that handles Fivem well at 1080p and 1440p. The 4K experience is limited, but for players targeting 1080p or 1440p monitors, this setup provides a strong balance of performance and visual quality.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component dominates in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence relative to the GPU, as the system produces 200 FPS on Low settings. This high frame rate suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently at lower resolutions. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 102 FPS, indicating that graphical settings have a substantial impact when the resolution is not the bottleneck.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to shoulder more of the load. The Low preset drops to 132 FPS, a 34% reduction from the same preset at 1080p. This scaling shows that increasing pixel count directly taxes the GPU, while the CPU still has enough headroom to maintain high frame rates. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 65 FPS, which is 33 FPS lower than the 1080p Ultra result, further confirming the GPU's growing role at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The Low preset falls to 73 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 36 FPS. The performance gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 37 FPS, compared to 102 FPS at 1080p. This compression indicates that the GPU is saturated at 4K, and changing settings has a smaller relative effect because the resolution itself is the primary constraint. The CPU, by contrast, continues to deliver sufficient frame pacing even at the highest resolution, as evidenced by the 73 FPS Low result.

The data shows that Fivem is GPU-bound at higher resolutions and CPU-bound at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the system can exceed 200 FPS, suggesting the CPU is near its practical limit for this game. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU's rendering capacity determines the final frame rate, and the RX 7700's performance aligns with its 58th percentile standing among all GPUs.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra, which delivers an average of 98 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available, and it remains well above the 60 FPS threshold. Players can enable maximum graphical quality without sacrificing smoothness at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is also Ultra, with an average of 65 FPS. This result clears the playable threshold by a narrow margin of 5 FPS. The recorded data shows that Ultra at 1440p is playable, but it leaves less headroom for demanding scenes or multiplayer interactions that may cause frame dips.

At 3840x2160, the best setting is Low, which averages 73 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that maintains a consistent experience above 60 FPS. Medium settings fall to 58 FPS, making Low the recommended choice for 4K displays. The combination of the i5-9400 and RX 7700 can drive Fivem at 4K only with reduced graphical fidelity, but the 73 FPS average ensures the game remains fluid even in that configuration.
