CPU and GPU Roles

The performance characteristics of this combo in Fivem are overwhelmingly driven by the GPU. The RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 43223 dwarfs the i5-9400's 2254, and the GPU's 83rd percentile ranking versus the CPU's 47th percentile makes it clear which component carries the workload. This is typical for a multiplayer title where the rendering load scales heavily with resolution and graphical detail.

Examining the scaling between resolutions at identical settings reveals the GPU's dominance. At High settings, the system produces 179 FPS at 1080p, 119.2 FPS at 1440p, and 68.3 FPS at 4K. The frame rate drops by 33.4 percent from 1080p to 1440p, and by another 42.7 percent from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline with increasing pixel counts is a classic GPU-bound pattern. The CPU's workload in Fivem, which involves managing game logic and multiplayer networking, remains relatively constant across resolutions, so the i5-9400's six cores and six threads are sufficient to keep up without becoming the limiting factor.

The settings scaling further confirms this. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average from 213.9 FPS to 143.2 FPS, a 33.1 percent drop. At 1440p, the same settings transition drops from 184.9 FPS to 94.6 FPS, a 48.8 percent reduction. At 4K, Low produces 106.8 FPS while Ultra drops to 53.2 FPS, a 50.2 percent decrease. The increasingly severe impact of higher settings at higher resolutions is a clear indicator that the GPU is the performance bottleneck. The i5-9400, with its 47th percentile ranking and close rivalry with chips like the i7-1068NG7 and i3-10305, simply does not have the computational headroom to influence these results meaningfully.

The data suggests that players should focus on GPU-driven settings such as texture quality, shadow detail, and anti-aliasing when optimizing for higher resolutions. The CPU's modest standing in the database means it will not be the source of frame rate instability in this title, but it also offers no headroom for CPU-intensive tasks beyond what the measured data shows.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Fivem, and it does so with significant margin at most settings. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 1920x1080, all four settings presets are playable, with Ultra delivering 143.2 FPS on average. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra maintaining 94.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, three of the four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold: High at 68.3 FPS, Medium at 81.7 FPS, and Low at 106.8 FPS. The only configuration that fails to reach 60 FPS is 4K Ultra, which drops to 53.2 FPS.

The best settings for each resolution are High at 4K with 68.3 FPS, Ultra at 1440p with 94.6 FPS, and Ultra at 1080p with 143.2 FPS. Players seeking the highest visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness should target these combinations. Those with 4K displays who insist on Ultra settings will need to accept a frame rate below the playable threshold, but the visual compromise required to reach 60 FPS is minimal, as High settings at 4K still deliver a comfortable 68.3 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system performs exceptionally well across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 213.9 FPS, Medium produces 198.5 FPS, High produces 179 FPS, and Ultra produces 143.2 FPS. Every preset at this resolution delivers more than double the 60 FPS playable threshold, making 1080p gaming effortless for this hardware.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings average 184.9 FPS, Medium averages 151.7 FPS, High averages 119.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 94.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 90.3 FPS, showing that even the most demanding preset at this resolution provides a comfortable margin above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings average 106.8 FPS, Medium averages 81.7 FPS, and High averages 68.3 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 53.2 FPS, which is the only measured configuration in the entire test set that falls below 60 FPS. The transition from High to Ultra at 4K costs 15.1 FPS, the largest single preset penalty in the data.

The complete measured data shows a consistent pattern: the system scales smoothly from low to high resolutions, with the RTX 4070 SUPER providing ample performance for all but the most extreme configuration. The absence of minimum and maximum frame rate data in the records means the analysis relies on averages, but the consistency of the average scores suggests stable performance across all tested scenarios.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the best settings that maintain at least 60 FPS are High, which delivers 68.3 FPS on average. This represents the optimal balance between visual quality and performance at 4K. Medium settings provide a higher 81.7 FPS for players who prefer additional headroom, while Low reaches 106.8 FPS for maximum smoothness. Ultra is not recommended at this resolution because its 53.2 FPS falls short of the playable threshold.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings are the best choice, delivering 94.6 FPS on average. This is a remarkable result, as it allows players to max out all graphical options at a high resolution while still maintaining a frame rate well above 60 FPS. The margin of 34.6 FPS over the threshold provides significant room for demanding multiplayer scenarios.

For 1920x1080, Ultra settings deliver 143.2 FPS on average, making them the clear best choice. The system has such substantial performance at this resolution that even the most demanding preset leaves a cushion of 83.2 FPS over the playable threshold. Players with high refresh rate monitors will find this configuration particularly well suited, as it approaches the 144 Hz mark even at maximum settings.
