Fivem

Fivem with AMD Ryzen 5 7400F + AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT presents a fascinating case study in how a modern, high-end GPU interacts with a capable mid-range CPU in a multiplayer title. The measured data reveals a configuration that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, but which also exposes the CPU's limits at 1080p with lower settings, where frame rates reach levels that stress even the fastest processors.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, built on TSMC's 5 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, drawing a 65 W TDP from the AMD Socket AM5 platform. The chip accesses 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 per core, with a dual-channel DDR5 memory bus delivering 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and a single-core score of 3072, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs.

For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification framework for Grand Theft Auto V, the CPU's role is significant. The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo reaches 260 FPS average. This high frame rate suggests that the Ryzen 5 7400F's single-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3072-point R23 single-core score, is sufficient to feed the GPU at this level. The processor's boost clock of 4.70 GHz is likely a key factor here, as Fivem's server-side scripts and entity management can create substantial per-thread workloads.

However, the picture changes when examining the CPU's nearest rivals in the average benchmark score. The Ryzen 5 7400F scores 32750 on average, placing it just 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600T (32707) and 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32697). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32812) by 0.2% and sits 0.3% above the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (32662). This clustering suggests that in terms of raw compute, the 7400F is not dramatically faster than these alternatives, meaning that any Fivem performance advantage must come from its specific architectural traits—like the 32 MB L3 cache—rather than overwhelming core count.

The 12 threads are adequate for modern games, but the measured FPS at 1080p Low (260 FPS) versus 1080p Ultra (127 FPS) indicates a scaling pattern where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as settings increase. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 83rd percentile ranking imply it is a solid, but not exceptional, gaming processor. In Fivem specifically, the high frame rates at low settings are proof of the CPU's ability to handle the game's simulation logic, though the 6-core limitation could become apparent in heavily populated servers where more threads might be beneficial.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the dominant component in this pairing, featuring the Navi 48 chip on a 4 nm TSMC process with RDNA 4.0 architecture. It comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's game clock is rated at 2400 MHz, with a boost clock of 2970 MHz and a base clock of 1660 MHz, while memory runs at 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective). The card has 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 render output units, delivering 48.66 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is clearly visible in the resolution scaling of the measured data. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 47 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold often considered optimal. This is despite the GPU's substantial compute resources. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Fivem's textures, even at 4K, so the performance drop is likely due to the raw pixel throughput required. The pixel rate of 380.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 760.3 GTexel/s are high, but the game's draw distance and shadow quality at Ultra settings demand significant fill rate.

The GPU's benchmark results are more modest than its specs suggest. It scores 26795 in Passmark G3D and 7260 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 55th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score (13543) are notably older or lower-end parts: the AMD Radeon HD 7770M (13536, 0.1% ahead), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (13515, 0.2% ahead), NVIDIA P106-090 (13470, 0.5% ahead), and AMD Radeon Pro 555 (13407, 1% ahead). This is a peculiar situation where the RX 9070 XT's average score is almost identical to these legacy parts, which suggests the average benchmark score might be skewed by the specific test suite, rather than reflecting the GPU's true gaming capability as shown in the measured FPS.

Given that the measured FPS data shows the RX 9070 XT achieving 164 FPS at 1080p High, the GPU is clearly capable of high refresh rate gaming. The 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS indicates that Fivem at maximum settings is exceptionally demanding on the GPU, likely due to the game's engine having poor optimization for high-resolution shadows and post-processing effects. The 644.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is a strong asset, but it does not fully compensate for the sheer compute load at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7400F and Radeon RX 9070 XT ranks 666th out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 22% of all system configurations tested for this game. The rank is notable because it suggests that while this is a high-end GPU, the overall combo is not in the top tier of Fivem performance. This could be due to the CPU's mid-range positioning, as the game's performance at lower resolutions is often CPU-limited.

To contextualize the 666th rank, consider that the combo's measured FPS at 1080p Low (260 FPS) is exceptionally high, yet there are 665 other combos that achieve even better overall performance. The rank likely reflects the average performance across all settings and resolutions, where the 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS pulls the average down. The combo's percentile standing is not explicitly given, but the rank of 666 out of 3005 implies it is roughly in the 78th percentile of performance for this specific game.

The data shows that this combo performs best at 1440p, where it achieves 108 FPS on High settings and 84 FPS on Ultra. These are solid numbers that would be considered smooth for most players. The rank of 666 suggests that there are many combos with faster CPUs that can push higher frame rates at 1080p, where the CPU becomes the limiting factor. The GPU's 55th percentile ranking in the overall GPU pool and the CPU's 83rd percentile ranking indicate an imbalance: the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU, yet in Fivem, the GPU is still the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four settings levels.

1080p (1920x1080):

• Low: 260 FPS average
• Medium: 205 FPS average (174 min, 236 max)
• High: 164 FPS average
• Ultra: 127 FPS average

1440p (2560x1440):

• Low: 171 FPS average
• Medium: 135 FPS average (115 min, 155 max)
• High: 108 FPS average
• Ultra: 84 FPS average

4K (3840x2160):

• Low: 95 FPS average
• Medium: 75 FPS average (64 min, 86 max)
• High: 60 FPS average
• Ultra: 47 FPS average

The 1080p results show a clear progression: dropping from Ultra (127 FPS) to Low (260 FPS) more than doubles the frame rate. This indicates that at 1080p, the GPU's load decreases significantly with lower settings, allowing the CPU to push higher frame rates. The medium settings at 1080p (205 FPS) show a min of 174 FPS, suggesting some frame time variability, but the average is still very high.

At 1440p, the pattern is similar but with lower absolute numbers: Low (171 FPS) is nearly identical to 1080p Ultra (127 FPS), showing that the resolution increase has a substantial impact. The Ultra setting at 1440p (84 FPS) is still smooth, but it has dropped by 34% compared to 1080p Ultra (127 FPS).

The 4K results are the most telling. Low settings at 4K (95 FPS) are barely playable for competitive purposes, while Ultra at 4K (47 FPS) is below the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium setting at 4K (75 FPS) with a min of 64 FPS shows that even at this resolution, the combo can maintain a playable frame rate with some settings compromises.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling data reveals the shifting bottleneck between CPU and GPU. From 1080p Low to 4K Low, the average FPS drops from 260 to 95, a 63% reduction. This is a massive drop that is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, as the CPU's workload does not change with resolution, but the GPU must render 4 times as many pixels.

In contrast, from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra, the drop is from 127 FPS to 47 FPS, a 63% reduction as well. The consistent percentage drop across all settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolutions and settings in Fivem, which is unusual for a game that is typically CPU-heavy. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking and high single-core score (3072 in R23) are sufficient to avoid becoming the primary bottleneck, even at 1080p Low where 260 FPS is achieved.

However, the data also shows that the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (260 FPS) and Ultra (127 FPS) is 133 FPS, while at 4K, the difference is only 48 FPS (95 vs 47). This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is so heavily loaded that changing settings has a proportionally smaller effect, further confirming the GPU as the primary limiter.

The medium settings data provides additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 205 with a min of 174, while at 4K Medium, it drops to 75 FPS with a min of 64. The min FPS values show that frame pacing is relatively stable, with the min being 85% of the average at 1080p and 85% at 4K. This suggests that the combo does not suffer from severe frame time spikes, which is a positive sign for multiplayer gameplay where consistency matters.

The resolution scaling strongly implies that the RX 9070 XT is the limiting component in this configuration. The CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to achieve 260 FPS at 1080p, but the GPU cannot maintain that level when the pixel count increases. This is not a criticism of the GPU, but rather a reflection of Fivem's demanding rendering requirements at high resolutions.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate.

For 1080p, the High preset (164 FPS) is the best balance of visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset (127 FPS) is still very smooth, but the 30% drop from High to Ultra does not justify the marginal visual gains in a fast-paced multiplayer game. The Medium preset (205 FPS) is ideal for competitive players who prioritize maximum frame rates, as it offers a 41% improvement over High, but the visual quality reduction from High to Medium is noticeable. The Low preset (260 FPS) is only recommended for esports-level play where every frame matters, as the visual degradation is severe.

For 1440p, the High preset (108 FPS) is the best choice for most players. It provides a smooth 100+ FPS experience with good visual fidelity. The Ultra preset (84 FPS) is acceptable if the player prefers maximum quality, but the drop below 90 FPS may be noticeable on high refresh rate monitors. The Medium preset (135 FPS) is a strong alternative for those who want a higher frame rate buffer, offering a 25% improvement over High. The Low preset (171 FPS) is overkill for most, as the visual quality is significantly reduced.

For 4K, the Medium preset (75 FPS) is the recommended starting point. It achieves a 75 FPS average with a 64 FPS minimum, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The High preset (60 FPS) is the minimum for a playable experience, but it leaves no headroom for frame drops in busy scenes. The Low preset (95 FPS) is surprisingly good for 4K, offering a smooth experience at the cost of visual quality, but it demonstrates the GPU's capability when the load is reduced. The Ultra preset (47 FPS) is not recommended, as it falls below the playable threshold and would result in a subpar experience.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset appears to be the "sweet spot" for this combo, offering the best balance of performance and quality. At 1080p, it delivers 205 FPS, at 1440p it delivers 135 FPS, and at 4K it delivers 75 FPS, all of which are above the respective playable thresholds. The High preset is a good alternative for those who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, but the data suggests that Medium provides the most consistent experience relative to the hardware's capabilities.
