Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB delivers a strictly 1080p-class experience in Fivem, with benchmark results showing a steep performance cliff as resolution increases. The data indicates that while the CPU provides a solid foundation for high framerates at lower resolutions, the GPU’s limited memory and bandwidth constrain the system to the point of unplayability at 4K. This analysis breaks down the measured performance metrics and contextualizes the hardware combination within the broader test pool.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features a cache hierarchy of 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and a shared 16 MB L3 cache. This configuration, paired with dual-channel DDR5 memory support and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, provides ample computational headroom for Fivem’s multiplayer environments.

Benchmark results indicate this CPU is a strong performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 2943 in single-core and 20851 in multi-core tests. The single-core score is critical for Fivem, as the game’s engine often relies on a few primary threads for simulation and network processing. The 3DMark single-thread score of 951 further corroborates this strength. The multi-threaded capability is also substantial, with 3DMark max threads scoring 6165, allowing the processor to handle background tasks and NPC AI without bottlenecking the main game loop.

The CPU’s percentile ranking of 82 places it in the upper echelon of all tested processors. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, has an average score of 25057, which is a 0% delta from this CPU’s average of 25064, indicating they are statistically tied in overall compute. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24993, a 0.3% delta, showing the 8400F holds a slight edge. This processing power ensures that at lower resolutions, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor; instead, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as seen in the FPS data where performance scales significantly with graphics settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB is an Ampere-architecture GPU based on the GA107 chip, manufactured on Samsung’s 8 nm process. It features 2048 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, along with 16 RT cores and 64 tensor cores. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1545 MHz and a boost clock of 1740 MHz. Its memory subsystem is the most defining characteristic: 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 192.0 GB/s.

This memory configuration is the primary constraint for higher resolutions. At 4K, the 4 GB frame buffer is insufficient to hold the textures and geometry required by Fivem without aggressive swapping, leading to the low average FPS figures. The data shows a stark drop from 1080p to 4K: at High settings, the average FPS falls from 69.6 to 23.9. This is a 65% reduction in performance, directly attributable to the GPU’s memory bandwidth and capacity limitations. The GPU’s FP32 compute power is rated at 7.127 TFLOPS, which is moderate, but the memory bottleneck dominates at higher resolutions.

The GPU holds the 50th percentile among all GPUs, indicating it is an average performer. Its pixel rate of 55.68 GPixel/s and texture rate of 111.4 GTexel/s are sufficient for 1080p gaming but are overwhelmed at 4K. At 1080p, the GPU can deliver playable framerates, as evidenced by the 91.2 average at Medium settings. However, the 4 GB memory capacity is a hard limit; users must rely on Low settings to achieve a 40 FPS average at 4K, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the system’s capabilities across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the performance is as follows: Low settings yield an average of 111.9 FPS, Medium settings yield 91.2 FPS, High settings yield 69.6 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 52.7 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, with each settings tier reducing performance by approximately 20 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages drop significantly: Low settings produce 75.5 FPS, Medium settings produce 58.6 FPS, High settings produce 48.4 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 38.3 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a performance loss of roughly 32% across all settings, demonstrating the impact of increased pixel count on the GPU’s workload. The system remains playable at Low and Medium settings, but High and Ultra presets fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the performance collapses. Low settings yield an average of 40 FPS, Medium settings yield 30.4 FPS, High settings yield 23.9 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 18.5 FPS. None of these results are suitable for competitive or immersive gameplay. The data indicates that this combination is not viable for 4K gaming, as even the lowest settings cannot maintain a stable 60 FPS. The most demanding configuration, 4K Ultra, produces an average of 18.5 FPS, which is 83% lower than the best result at 1080p Low.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4 GB ranks 1631 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 9% of all systems. This low ranking is surprising given the CPU’s strong performance, but it is explained by the GPU’s limitations. The RTX 3050 4 GB, despite being a capable 1080p card, is outclassed by the majority of GPUs in the test pool, particularly at higher resolutions.

The ranking suggests that while the CPU is a top-tier component (82nd percentile), the GPU’s 50th percentile ranking drags the overall system down. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, have nearly identical processing power, but when paired with more capable GPUs, they would likely achieve higher framerates in Fivem. The data shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming with Medium to High settings, where it can deliver playable framerates. However, for any user targeting 1440p or 4K, this combination falls short, and the benchmark results confirm that the GPU is the definitive bottleneck. The 1631st rank out of 1792 combos indicates that most other pairings offer a better balance of CPU and GPU performance for this specific title.
