Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that places significant demands on both processor and graphics hardware, and the measured results for the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT show a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The data for this combo, which ranks 970th out of 1792 tested combinations, indicates a system that is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming but begins to show its limitations as pixel count and graphical fidelity increase.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals a classic pattern of GPU-bound scaling, though the rate of decline is steep. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 121.1 FPS, which drops to 79.6 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 44.7 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at High settings, a substantial hit that points to the Radeon RX 6700 XT being the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The frame rate does not halve when pixel count quadruples, which indicates that the Ryzen 5 8400F is able to feed the GPU adequately at 1440p, but the 4K results show the GPU struggling to maintain playable performance.

Looking at the Low settings data, the scaling is even more pronounced. The combo achieves 190.8 FPS at 1080p, 126.6 FPS at 1440p, and 68.2 FPS at 4K. The 4K result is only 35.7% of the 1080p figure, a larger proportional drop than what is seen at High settings. This suggests that at Low settings, the CPU has more headroom to push frames, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck much earlier as resolution climbs. The gap between Low and High settings at each resolution is telling: at 1080p, the difference is 69.7 FPS (190.8 vs 121.1), while at 4K, the difference narrows to 23.5 FPS (68.2 vs 44.7). This compression of the settings gap at higher resolutions reinforces that the RX 6700 XT’s 12 GB memory and 192-bit bus are being saturated, not the CPU’s single-thread performance.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT operates with a base clock of 2321 MHz and a boost clock of 2581 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2424 MHz. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, delivering 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth across a 192-bit bus. In Fivem, these specifications translate to a GPU that performs best at 1080p and 1440p, where the 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs can keep pace with the game’s draw calls. The 4K Ultra result of 33.8 FPS is particularly telling, as it falls below the 44.7 FPS High result at the same resolution, showing that the 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is not sufficient for maximum settings at 4K.

The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is not a limiting factor at 1080p or 1440p, where the game’s texture demands are moderate, but the 4K High and Ultra results suggest that memory bandwidth becomes a constraint. The difference between 4K Medium (57.2 FPS) and 4K High (44.7 FPS) is 12.5 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 10.9 FPS, dropping to 33.8 FPS. This progressive decline with each settings tier indicates that the GPU’s texture rate of 413.0 GTexel/s is being challenged by the increased shading complexity. The RX 6700 XT’s percentile ranking of 77th among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33721, places it in the upper mid-range, and the Fivem results align with that positioning—capable at mainstream resolutions but not a 4K powerhouse.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. Low settings yield 190.8 FPS, which is the highest result across all testing. Medium settings produce 149.3 FPS, High settings give 121.1 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 93.2 FPS. The range from Low to Ultra spans 97.6 FPS, showing that Fivem’s settings have a substantial impact on performance at this resolution. The 1080p results demonstrate that the Ryzen 5 8400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to keep the GPU fed, as even the Ultra setting stays above 90 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates decrease across the board. Low settings achieve 126.6 FPS, which is still very fluid, while Medium produces 100.3 FPS. High settings deliver 79.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 62.4 FPS. The 1440p results show a tighter grouping than 1080p, with a 64.2 FPS spread between Low and Ultra. Notably, the 1440p High result of 79.6 FPS is nearly identical to the 4K Low result of 68.2 FPS, suggesting that the GPU’s workload is similar in these configurations.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls to its lowest levels. Low settings manage 68.2 FPS, which is the only playable 4K option. Medium settings drop to 57.2 FPS, High settings fall to 44.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 33.8 FPS. The 4K results reveal a consistent pattern where each settings tier costs roughly 10-13 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily constrained by both resolution and graphical complexity. The 4K Ultra result of 33.8 FPS is less than half of the 1080p High result, underscoring the GPU’s limitations at the highest resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The Ryzen 5 8400F and RX 6700 XT combination ranks 970th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 54th percentile of all configurations. This mid-pack ranking reflects a balanced pairing that is neither a top-tier performer nor a weak link. The CPU alone sits at the 82nd percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25064, while the GPU is at the 77th percentile with a score of 33721. The combo’s ranking in Fivem is lower than both individual component percentiles, indicating that the game’s multiplayer nature introduces overhead that prevents the hardware from reaching its full theoretical potential.

Compared to the CPU’s nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 8400F scores nearly identically to the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, which has an average score of 25057 (0% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores 24993 (0.3% delta). This shows that the 8400F is competitive with older and similarly priced processors, but the Fivem results suggest that the game does not heavily reward the extra threads of the 2700X. For the GPU, the RX 6700 XT is 0.7% ahead of the RX 6800 in average benchmark score, but the Fivem data shows that this margin is negligible in practice. The combo’s rank of 970 suggests that while each component is capable individually, the pairing does not produce synergy that boosts it above the median in Fivem’s specific workload.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. In Fivem, the CPU’s role is critical for handling the game’s multiplayer simulation and world streaming, and the benchmark results show that the 8400F provides adequate headroom at 1080p.

The single-thread performance is strong, as evidenced by the 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943. These scores indicate that the 8400F can handle Fivem’s primary game thread, which is often the bottleneck in multiplayer scenarios. The multi-threaded scores are also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851 and a PassMark multithread score of 24530, but the Fivem results show that the game does not scale perfectly with the 12 available threads. The transition from 1080p Low (190.8 FPS) to 1080p Ultra (93.2 FPS) shows that the CPU can push high frame rates when settings are low, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as settings increase.

The CPU’s memory support for DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient data throughput for the game’s streaming assets. The 4 nm process and 25,000 million transistors contribute to efficient power usage, but the benchmark data does not show any thermal throttling concerns. The 8400F’s percentile ranking of 82nd among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25064, places it in a strong position for gaming, and the Fivem results confirm that it is not the primary bottleneck in this combo. The CPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, scores nearly identically (25057, 0% delta), but the 8400F’s higher boost clock and newer architecture provide a slight edge in Fivem’s single-threaded demands.
