Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 combination delivers a playable, but not universally smooth, experience in Fivem. The benchmark data shows a clear hierarchy where the GTX 1070's 8 GB of VRAM and the Ryzen's 6-core processing power interact differently across resolutions and presets, making preset selection the single most important factor in achieving a fluid frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data strongly indicates that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience, especially at 1080p and 1440p. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 100.9 FPS, which is a substantial 35.4 FPS higher than High (81.7 FPS) and only 26.7 FPS lower than Low (127.6 FPS). The jump from Medium to Low yields diminishing returns, while the jump from Medium to High costs a significant 19.2 FPS. For 2560x1440, Medium's 65.8 FPS is the sweet spot, providing a frame rate that is 19.2% higher than High's 56.6 FPS while retaining visual fidelity. At 4K, no preset achieves a comfortable 60 FPS average; the best option is Low at 48.4 FPS, but this necessitates a major visual compromise.

The Ultra preset should be avoided in nearly all scenarios. It produces the lowest frame rates at every resolution, dropping to 65.5 FPS at 1080p, 39.8 FPS at 1440p, and a stuttering 20.9 FPS at 4K. The data suggests that Ultra's demands on the GPU's 6.463 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 256.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth are too heavy for this pairing. For a consistent experience, the High preset is viable only at 1080p, where its 81.7 FPS is acceptable, but it becomes a poor choice at higher resolutions. Therefore, the data points to Medium as the recommended baseline, with Low serving as a fallback for 4K or for users who prioritize maximum frame rates.

GPU Role

The GTX 1070 is the primary bottleneck in this configuration, a conclusion supported by the scaling of scores across resolutions. Its 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 256.3 GB/s, which is adequate for 1080p and 1440p but clearly insufficient for 4K Ultra, where the average FPS collapses to 20.9. The GPU's architecture, built on the 16 nm process with 7,200 million transistors, shows its age when handling the game's draw calls. The benchmark results show that the GPU's performance is heavily influenced by the settings preset, with the difference between Low and Ultra at 4K being a 27.5 FPS gap. This suggests that the GPU's shading units (1920) and texture mapping units (120) are being overwhelmed by the higher-fidelity textures and effects.

The GPU's 51st percentile ranking among all GPUs, based on its average benchmark score of 12331, places it in the middle of the pack. This is corroborated by its nearest rivals, which include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER (with a deltaPct of -1.4) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M (deltaPct of -1.3). This indicates that the GTX 1070 is performing as expected for its class. The clock speeds of 1506 MHz base and 1683 MHz boost are the reference values, and the performance degradation at higher resolutions is consistent with a GPU whose memory interface and raw compute power are being pushed to their limits. The data implies that for 4K gaming, this GPU is the limiting factor, and users should not expect playable frame rates beyond Low settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and non-linear, revealing the GPU's increasing workload. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 127.6 at 1080p to 84.8 at 1440p (a 33.6% drop) and then to 48.4 at 4K (a further 43% drop from 1440p). This pattern is more dramatic at High settings, where the FPS goes from 81.7 at 1080p to 56.6 at 1440p (a 30.7% drop) and then plummets to 28.8 at 4K (a 49.1% drop from 1440p). The scaling indicates that the GTX 1070's pixel fill rate (107.7 GPixel/s) and texture rate (202.0 GTexel/s) are insufficient to maintain performance as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

This behavior points to the GPU being the primary limiting component at 4K. The CPU's role becomes relatively smaller as the resolution increases, because the GPU takes longer to render each frame, giving the CPU more time to prepare the next one. The 1080p results, particularly at Low settings with 127.6 FPS, show that the Ryzen 5 8400F can feed the GPU effectively, but the GTX 1070 cannot keep up as the resolution scales. The data suggests that the ideal operating range for this combo is 1080p, with 1440p being acceptable at lower presets. Pushing to 4K is only possible at Low settings, and even then, the 48.4 FPS average is below the smoothness threshold most users prefer.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ranks 1522nd out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 15% of all possible pairings, indicating that this is a low-to-mid-range configuration in the database's context. The low ranking is not surprising given the age of the GPU, but it is important to note that the CPU is not the primary cause of this low rank. The CPU's own percentile ranking is 82nd among all CPUs, showing that it is a capable processor, but it is being held back by the GPU's 51st percentile ranking.

The rank suggests that while this combo can play Fivem, it will not be a high-performance setup. The data implies that many other combinations will offer significantly higher frame rates. However, the combo's performance is not uniform; it can achieve a very good 127.6 FPS at 1080p Low, but it struggles at 4K. This makes the combo a viable option for 1080p gaming, but it is not a future-proof or high-end solution. The position in the database, below 84.9% of other combos, serves as a warning that users should temper their expectations regarding maximum settings and high resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its benchmark scores are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 and a single-core score of 2943. These results show that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this system, especially at lower resolutions. The data supports this; at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 127.6 FPS, which is a high frame rate that requires a competent CPU to process the game's logic and draw calls. The CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 951 is also relatively high, indicating good per-core performance which is crucial for games like Fivem that may have a primary simulation thread.

The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (with a deltaPct of 0) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (deltaPct of 0.3), show that it is competitive in raw processing power. However, its L3 cache is 16 MB (shared), and while this is ample, the game's performance at higher resolutions is dictated more by the GPU. As resolution increases, the CPU's role diminishes, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor. This is evidenced by the FPS dropping from 127.6 at 1080p Low to 48.4 at 4K Low, despite the CPU's capabilities remaining constant. The conclusion is that the Ryzen 5 8400F provides more than enough processing headroom for the GTX 1070, and its 65W TDP and 4 nm process node make it an efficient partner for this GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

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

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are consistently playable. The Ultra preset yields an average of 65.5 FPS, which is below the 100 FPS threshold for high-refresh monitors but still smooth. High improves this to 81.7 FPS, offering a good balance. Medium is the standout, delivering 100.9 FPS, and Low tops the chart at 127.6 FPS, showing the combo's potential when the GPU is less stressed.

At 2560x1440, performance takes a noticeable hit. Ultra drops to 39.8 FPS, which is not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer. High manages 56.6 FPS, which is borderline playable. Medium provides a solid 65.8 FPS, and Low remains the best option for high refresh at 84.8 FPS. The gap between Medium and Low is 19 FPS, suggesting that Low is preferred for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the results are poor across the board. Ultra is unplayable at 20.9 FPS. High is only slightly better at 28.8 FPS. Medium reaches 36.5 FPS, which is still choppy. Even Low only manages 48.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. This resolution is not recommended for this combo, as the data shows the GPU is not powerful enough to handle the 4K workload, even at the lowest settings.
