Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F pairs a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 architecture with a 4.20 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost clock, operating within a 65 W TDP envelope. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a single-thread score of 951 in 3DMark and a multi-thread score of 6165 at max threads, with Cinebench R23 results of 2943 single-core and 20851 multi-core. The processor’s 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support (83.2 GB/s bandwidth) position it as a capable modern desktop part, sitting in the 77th percentile of all CPUs tested.

Within the Fivem benchmark suite, the 8400F’s thread management appears sufficient to avoid becoming the primary constraint at lower graphical settings. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 175 FPS average, while at 1080p Ultra it drops to 86 FPS. This 89 FPS spread across settings at the same resolution suggests that while the CPU can feed frames efficiently at high rates, the GPU’s workload scaling with graphical fidelity begins to dominate. The CPU’s 3DMark 2-thread score of 1874 versus its 8-thread score of 5275 indicates strong scaling up to eight threads, which aligns well with Fivem’s multiplayer environments that often distribute entity and network processing across multiple cores. Compared to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, the 8400F is essentially tied with a deltaPct of 0.2 percent, meaning the two CPUs deliver nearly identical average benchmark scores despite architectural differences.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy of playable experiences across resolutions and presets. For 1080p displays, the Medium preset delivers 138 FPS average with a minimum of 118 FPS, which is the highest settings tier that maintains a 118+ FPS floor. The Low preset pushes 175 FPS average, but the jump to Medium costs 37 FPS while still keeping frame times consistent. High at 1080p yields 111 FPS average, which remains smooth but loses the 118 FPS minimum guarantee seen at Medium. Ultra at 1080p drops to 86 FPS average, a 38 percent reduction from Medium, making it less ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 1440p, the Medium preset again emerges as the balanced choice, producing 91 FPS average with a 77 FPS minimum. This is notably smoother than High at 73 FPS average, and the 116 FPS Low preset shows that even at higher resolution, the system can reach high frame rates when visual fidelity is sacrificed. Ultra at 1440p falls to 57 FPS average, which may be acceptable for slower-paced gameplay but lacks the headroom for competitive scenarios. For 4K, the data reveals a steep performance cliff: Medium achieves 51 FPS average with a 43 FPS minimum, while High drops to 40 FPS and Ultra to 31 FPS. Only the Low preset at 4K reaches 64 FPS average, suggesting that 4K gaming on this combo requires significant settings compromises.

The optimal experience per the measured rows is the 1080p Medium preset. It offers a 138 FPS average with the narrowest documented frame time range (118-159 FPS), providing both high responsiveness and consistent pacing. For users prioritizing visual quality over maximum frame rate, 1440p Medium at 91 FPS average is the best compromise, as it retains a 77 FPS minimum while delivering substantially better image clarity than 1080p.

A: This AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination ranks 2138 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the middle of the database’s tested configurations.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more responsible for performance at 1440p High?

A: At 2560x1440 High, the 73 FPS average sits between the 91 FPS Medium and 57 FPS Ultra results. The 35 FPS drop from Low to Ultra at 1440p indicates the GPU’s rendering load scales strongly with settings, while the CPU maintains sufficient throughput.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo holds the 2138th position out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem, which places it in the 42nd percentile of all systems measured. This mid-pack ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outclasses the other. The RTX 2070 SUPER’s percentileVsAllGpus of 65 and the 8400F’s percentileVsAllCpus of 77 suggest the GPU is the slightly weaker link, though the 12 percent difference in percentile ranking is modest.

In the context of Fivem’s multiplayer demands, this rank implies the system can handle typical server loads at mainstream resolutions, but it will not excel in heavy draw-call scenarios or at extreme resolutions. The CPU’s nearest rival, the Ryzen 5 7500F, delivers near-identical average scores, indicating that the 8400F’s architectural advantages do not translate into meaningful Fivem-specific gains. Conversely, the GPU’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at -1 percent and the RTX 3070 Mobile at -1.2 percent, meaning the 2070 SUPER sits just below those parts in aggregate GPU benchmarks.

The ranking also suggests that users with higher refresh rate monitors may find the combo limiting at 1440p Ultra or 4K, but acceptable at 1080p High and below. The 57 FPS at 1440p Ultra and 86 FPS at 1080p Ultra represent the upper bounds of what this configuration can sustain with maximum settings, and the ranking reflects those constraints.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the TU104 chip with a 12 nm process, featuring 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with clocks running at 1605 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost. The GPU’s 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 40 RT cores support modern rendering features, while its 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it as a solid mid-to-high-tier part.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings rise. The measured FPS deltas between settings tiers are stark: at 1080p, Low to Medium costs 37 FPS, Medium to High costs 27 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 25 FPS. At 4K, the same progression shows 13 FPS, 11 FPS, and 9 FPS drops respectively, indicating that the GPU’s rendering capacity is saturated earlier at higher resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game’s textures at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 31 FPS suggests memory bandwidth and compute limits rather than capacity constraints.

The GPU’s passmark G3D score of 18169 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651 confirm its performance tier. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, scores 20480, a 1 percent advantage, while the RTX 3070 Mobile leads by 1.2 percent. This places the 2070 SUPER firmly in the upper-middle segment, capable of 60+ FPS at 1080p High but requiring Low settings for 4K fluidity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 175 FPS average, Medium drops to 138 FPS with a 118-159 FPS range, High achieves 111 FPS, and Ultra settles at 86 FPS. The progression shows a consistent 25-37 FPS penalty per settings tier, with the Medium preset offering the best balance of frame rate and stability.

At 2560x1440, the same settings hierarchy yields 116 FPS on Low, 91 FPS on Medium (77-105 FPS range), 73 FPS on High, and 57 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS by 33-34 percent across all settings, indicating resolution is a significant factor but not prohibitive for Medium and below.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes marginal for high-refresh displays. Low settings achieve 64 FPS, Medium drops to 51 FPS (43-58 FPS range), High falls to 40 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 31 FPS. The 4K results show that only Low settings approach playable frame rates, while Medium and below remain usable for less demanding playstyles.

The data reveals that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB VRAM and 448 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, but the 4K Ultra result of 31 FPS indicates the GPU’s compute capacity is exhausted. The 4K Medium range of 43-58 FPS shows frame pacing consistency, but the 4K High and Ultra averages lack minimum FPS data, suggesting potentially unstable performance in those configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is most pronounced at Low settings, where 175 FPS falls to 64 FPS, a 63 percent reduction. At Medium settings, the drop is from 138 to 51 FPS, a 63 percent reduction as well. High settings see a 64 percent drop from 111 to 40 FPS, while Ultra settings fall 64 percent from 86 to 31 FPS. This consistent 63-64 percent reduction across all settings indicates that the scaling is driven by pixel count rather than settings-specific effects.

The uniformity of the percentage drops suggests that the system is not becoming CPU-bound at lower resolutions. If the CPU were limiting performance, the 1080p Low result of 175 FPS would show diminishing returns as resolution decreases, but the linear scaling pattern points to the GPU as the primary constraint across all settings. The 1440p results reinforce this: from 1080p to 1440p, FPS drops 34-35 percent, which is less than the 4K drop but still substantial.

The limiting component is clearly the RTX 2070 SUPER, as the 8400F’s high single-thread and multi-thread scores (951 and 6165 in 3DMark) far exceed what Fivem requires to sustain 175 FPS at 1080p Low. The GPU’s 12 nm process and 9.062 TFLOPS compute are sufficient for 1080p gaming but struggle to fill 4K’s 8.3 million pixels at high settings. The 4K Low result of 64 FPS demonstrates that the GPU can maintain playable frame rates when shading complexity is minimized, but the 31 FPS Ultra figure shows its limits. For users targeting 4K, the data suggests that only Low settings provide a consistently smooth experience, while 1440p Medium offers the best resolution-to-fidelity trade-off.
