Fivem

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti produces heavily GPU-bound results in Fivem, with frame rates collapsing at higher resolutions and settings in a way that clearly identifies the GTX 1050 Ti as the limiting component. The CPU is capable of far more than this GPU can deliver, as evidenced by the scaling patterns across the measured data.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is severe and consistent across all settings, demonstrating that the GTX 1050 Ti is overwhelmed as pixel count increases. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 62 at 1920x1080 to 41 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 21 FPS, and then to 22 at 3840x2160. This represents a 64.5% loss in average FPS when moving from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. The 1440p result at Low (41 FPS) is still playable in a basic sense, but the 4K result of 22 FPS is firmly in slideshow territory.

At High settings, the pattern is similar but with lower absolute numbers. The average FPS goes from 39 at 1080p to 26 at 1440p, then to 14 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is a 64.1% reduction, almost identical to the Low setting scaling. This consistency across settings suggests the resolution scaling is dominated by the GPU's raw pixel throughput limits rather than any particular setting's specific demands.

Medium settings show the most complete data, including minimum and maximum FPS readings. At 1080p Medium, the average is 49 FPS with a minimum of 41 and maximum of 56. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 32 FPS with a range of 27 to 37. At 4K Medium, the average is 18 FPS with a range of 15 to 20. The minimum FPS values are particularly telling: at 4K Medium, the minimum of 15 FPS means the experience will frequently dip below acceptable thresholds for any kind of smooth gameplay.

Ultra settings produce the worst results, with 30 FPS at 1080p, 20 FPS at 1440p, and 11 FPS at 4K. The 1080p Ultra result is the only resolution where Ultra settings exceed 20 FPS, but even that 30 FPS average is marginal. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra is a 33.3% drop, and from 1440p to 4K is a further 45% drop. This indicates that the GPU is the bottleneck at every resolution, with the CPU's capabilities never being tested by this workload.

The resolution scaling data strongly indicates that this combo is GPU-limited at all measured configurations. The CPU has ample headroom, as shown by the fact that even at 1080p Low (62 FPS), the frame rate is still modest compared to what the Ryzen 5 7400F could potentially support in a less GPU-bound scenario.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the dominant factor in this combo's Fivem performance. With 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus providing 112.1 GB/s of bandwidth, the GPU has limited resources for modern multiplayer titles. The memory clock runs at 1752 MHz (7 Gbps effective), and the core operates at a base of 1291 MHz with a boost of 1392 MHz. These clocks are modest by current standards, and the Pascal architecture (GP107 chip) with 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 32 ROPs simply cannot push high frame rates at demanding resolutions.

The GPU's benchmark results place it in the 25th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 4193. Its closest rivals include the AMD Radeon R5 M330 (0.6% faster), the NVIDIA Quadro K2100M (1% faster), and the AMD Radeon Vega 3 (1.8% slower). This positioning at the lower end of the GPU spectrum explains why Fivem's frame rates are so constrained. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 6340 and DirectX 11 score of 45 indicate limited DirectX 11 performance, which is relevant for Fivem's rendering pipeline.

The 4 GB VRAM capacity is a critical constraint. At 4K resolutions, the combination of high pixel count and texture data can easily exceed this capacity, leading to the severe frame rate drops observed. The measured data shows 14 FPS at 4K High and 11 FPS at 4K Ultra, which are both unplayable. Even at 1080p, the VRAM capacity may be a limiting factor at higher settings, though the GPU's compute throughput is likely the primary bottleneck.

The GPU's transistor count of 3,300 million on a 14 nm process node from Samsung, with a die size of 132 mm², represents older technology that cannot compete with modern GPUs in raw throughput. The FP32 performance of 2.138 TFLOPS and texture rate of 66.82 GTexel/s are modest figures that directly impact Fivem's ability to render complex scenes at high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results span from 30 FPS to 62 FPS depending on settings. Low settings deliver 62 FPS average, Medium delivers 49 FPS with a range of 41 to 56, High delivers 39 FPS, and Ultra delivers 30 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 32 FPS, showing that settings have a substantial impact at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the results drop significantly. Low settings produce 41 FPS average, Medium produces 32 FPS with a range of 27 to 37, High produces 26 FPS, and Ultra produces 20 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 21 FPS, which is narrower than at 1080p, indicating that resolution scaling compresses the settings differences.

At 3840x2160, the results are largely unplayable. Low settings yield 22 FPS average, Medium yields 18 FPS with a range of 15 to 20, High yields 14 FPS, and Ultra yields 11 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is only 11 FPS, showing that the GPU is so saturated that settings changes have diminished returns.

The Medium settings data provides minimum and maximum FPS values at all three resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 41 to 56, a 15 FPS spread. At 1440p, the range is 27 to 37, a 10 FPS spread. At 4K, the range is 15 to 20, a 5 FPS spread. This tightening of the frame time distribution at higher resolutions further confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor, as it cannot produce higher peaks even with less demanding geometry.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 2962 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 1.4% of all configurations tested. This is an extremely low ranking that reflects the GPU's severe limitation in this title. The rank of 2962 out of 3005 means that only 43 combinations performed worse than this setup.

The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU's position in the 25th percentile of all GPUs, combined with the game's apparent sensitivity to GPU performance. The CPU's strong benchmark position (83rd percentile) does not compensate for the GPU's weakness in this GPU-bound scenario. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 7400F is essentially wasted in this pairing for Fivem, as it cannot express its full potential.

Given that the combo ranks near the bottom of the database, users of this configuration should expect performance in the lowest tier of what is measured. The 1080p Low result of 62 FPS is the only configuration that approaches mainstream playability, and even that is modest by modern standards. The 4K results, ranging from 11 to 22 FPS, are among the worst measured for any resolution in the database.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a Zen 4 architecture processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache, with 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 64 KB of L1 cache per core. This CPU is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. It supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21765 in multi-core and 3072 in single-core. In PassMark, it scores 25645 in multithread and 3689 in single-thread. Its average benchmark score is 32750, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T (0.1% slower), Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (0.2% slower), and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (0.2% faster).

Despite this strong CPU performance, the Fivem data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor. The frame rates at 1080p Low (62 FPS) and 1080p Medium (49 FPS) are well below what this CPU could support in a less GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3689 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072 indicate strong per-core performance that should handle Fivem's CPU demands, but the GTX 1050 Ti's 4 GB VRAM and modest compute throughput prevent the CPU from ever being the bottleneck.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it is designed for efficiency and overclocking, but these features are irrelevant to Fivem performance given the GPU constraint. The memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s and PCIe Gen 5 support (24 lanes) are also far beyond what the GTX 1050 Ti can utilize, as the GPU connects via PCIe 3.0 x16. In this configuration, the CPU's capabilities are entirely wasted, as the GPU cannot generate enough frames to utilize the CPU's processing capacity.
