The data shows a clear pattern: the CPU provides a robust foundation, while the GPU becomes the decisive factor as resolution and graphical fidelity increase. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data to explain exactly how each component contributes to the final frame rates.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock is 4.20 GHz with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The CPU has a 16 MB shared L3 cache, along with 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. Its 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth make it a modern, efficient desktop part for gaming workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 8400F shows strong single-threaded performance, which is critical for Fivem's largely single-thread-bound multiplayer scenarios. The 3dmark_single_thread score is 951, and the Cinebench R23 single-core result is 2943. Multi-threaded performance is equally solid, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 and a 3dmark_max_threads score of 6165. These numbers indicate the CPU can handle both the physics and AI simulation of the game world, as well as the overhead of many connected players.

The CPU's percentile ranking is 77th among all tested CPUs, placing it in the upper quartile of processors. Its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (with a deltaPct of 0.2%), the Intel Core i7-11850H (deltaPct 0.3%), and the Intel Core i7-13620H (deltaPct 0.4%). The AMD EPYC 9474F is slightly ahead at -0.4% deltaPct. These rivals are all within a narrow 0.8% performance band, confirming the 8400F is positioned exactly alongside other mid-range to upper-mid-range processors.

For Fivem specifically, the data indicates this CPU is rarely the bottleneck. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 200 FPS average, which is a high frame rate that suggests the CPU is feeding frames efficiently. Even at 1080p Ultra, the average is 98 FPS, showing that the processor has enough headroom to maintain playable frame rates when the GPU is under moderate load. The 12 threads are sufficient for Fivem's workload, which typically scales across a few cores but benefits from having extra threads available for background tasks and game server communication.

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

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process. It features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1900 MHz, with a boost clock of 2459 MHz and a game clock of 2041 MHz. Memory runs at 2438 MHz, effective 19.5 Gbps. The card has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, along with 40 ray tracing cores.

The GPU's raw compute capabilities are substantial: it delivers 25.18 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s, with a texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s. The 16 GB VRAM is a significant asset for Fivem, which can consume large amounts of memory with high-resolution textures and dense player-created content. The 624.1 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and asset loading do not become bottlenecks.

In terms of benchmark scores, the RX 7700 has an average benchmark score of 15852 and ranks in the 58th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon R9 370X (with a deltaPct of -0.1%), the AMD Radeon RX 9060 (deltaPct -1%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 (deltaPct 1.1%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (deltaPct -1.7%). These comparisons show the RX 7700 sits within a tight performance cluster, with the RTX 3060 Ti being the closest competitor at just 1.7% ahead in average score.

The GPU's role becomes evident when examining the FPS data across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 200 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame output. However, at 4K Ultra, the average drops to 36 FPS, a massive reduction that clearly indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 16 GB VRAM ensures that even at 4K Ultra, memory capacity is not an issue, meaning the performance drop is purely due to rendering load on the GPU's compute units.

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

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern across resolutions. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 126 at 1080p to 83 at 1440p, and then to 46 at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 63%, which is a substantial reduction directly attributable to the GPU's rendering workload.

At Low settings, the pattern is similar but with higher absolute numbers. The combo achieves 200 FPS at 1080p, 132 FPS at 1440p, and 73 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%, matching the High settings percentages almost exactly. This consistency suggests that the GPU's performance scaling is resolution-bound rather than settings-bound, meaning the GPU is the primary limiter at all resolutions above 1080p.

Medium settings show the same trend with 158 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The drops are 34% and 44% respectively. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 98 FPS at 1080p, 65 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K, representing drops of 34% and 45%.

The consistent ~34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and ~45% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings is a strong indicator that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain more constant across resolutions at lower settings. The fact that 1080p Low yields 200 FPS while 4K Low yields 73 FPS (a 63% reduction) proves that the RX 7700 cannot keep up with the pixel throughput demands of higher resolutions, regardless of graphical complexity.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the data shows that all settings are viable, but Ultra at 98 FPS average offers the best visual quality while still maintaining a high refresh rate experience. Medium at 158 FPS is the best choice for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized, as it provides a 60% improvement over Ultra while still looking substantially better than Low.

For 1440p, the data suggests Medium settings at 104 FPS average provide the best balance between visual fidelity and performance. This setting maintains an average above 100 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. High settings at 83 FPS are also acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but Ultra at 65 FPS begins to approach the threshold where frame drops become noticeable. Low settings at 132 FPS are recommended for players who prioritize competitive advantage over visual quality.

At 4K, the measured data shows that only Low settings at 73 FPS provide a consistently smooth experience. Medium settings at 58 FPS are borderline, with minimums as low as 49 FPS, which can result in stutter during demanding scenes. High and Ultra settings at 46 and 36 FPS respectively are not recommended for playable frame rates, as they fall well below the 60 FPS target. Players with 4K displays should either accept Low settings or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p to enable higher quality presets.

In terms of the best overall experience across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the most balanced performance. It provides a significant visual upgrade over Low while maintaining FPS values that are 58% higher than Ultra at 1080p, 60% higher at 1440p, and 61% higher at 4K. The Medium preset's minimum FPS values (134 at 1080p, 88 at 1440p, 49 at 4K) also indicate more consistent frame pacing compared to the higher settings, making it the recommended choice for the majority of users.
