Fivem

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows for Fivem with the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti reveal a clear relationship between preset selection and playable performance. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers an average of 196.2 FPS, while Medium drops to 154.1 FPS, High to 124.8 FPS, and Ultra to 93.7 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs roughly 42 FPS, a substantial penalty, but the Medium preset still maintains a comfortable margin above 144 Hz refresh rates. For competitive multiplayer scenarios, the data suggests Medium as the sweet spot at 1080p: it preserves high frame rates while likely improving visual fidelity over Low, given the 42 FPS gap between them.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts. Low produces 127 FPS, Medium 102.9 FPS, High 80.2 FPS, and Ultra 64.3 FPS. Here, Medium remains the recommended preset for high-refresh monitors, as it stays above 100 FPS. High is viable for 60 Hz displays, but the 22.7 FPS drop from Medium to High makes it a less attractive trade-off unless visual quality is prioritized. At 4K, the situation changes dramatically: Low averages 69.4 FPS, Medium 55.6 FPS, High 42.7 FPS, and Ultra 33.9 FPS. Only Low clears the 60 FPS threshold at this resolution, making it the only sensible choice for smooth gameplay at 3840x2160. Medium could be considered for slower-paced scenarios, but the data shows a 13.8 FPS penalty that pushes it below the ideal threshold.

The measured rows indicate that the optimal preset depends heavily on target resolution. For 1080p and 1440p, Medium offers the best balance between frame rate and quality, as it stays above 100 FPS in both cases. For 4K, Low is the only preset that maintains playable smoothness. The Ultra preset is consistently the worst performer, with the largest FPS deficit at every resolution, suggesting it demands more from the hardware than this combo can comfortably deliver in Fivem's multiplayer environments.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ranks 943rd out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is notable given the individual component percentiles: the CPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 69th percentile among all GPUs. The rank suggests that Fivem's multiplayer workload does not fully leverage the strengths of either component, or that the game's engine imposes bottlenecks that limit overall performance relative to other titles.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (average score 25057, deltaPct 0), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (25099, -0.1%), the AMD EPYC 9474F (25103, -0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (24993, 0.3%). These deltas are negligible, all within 0.3% of each other, meaning the 8400F's raw compute performance is essentially tied with these parts. The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern: the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (25180, -0.2%), AMD Radeon RX 6600 (25235, -0.5%), AMD Radeon 890M (25246, -0.5%), and AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (25287, -0.7%) all score within 0.7% of the RTX 3060 Ti's average benchmark score of 25120.

Despite these tight synthetic margins, the in-game rank of 943 out of 1792 implies that Fivem's real-world performance is less competitive than the component benchmarks suggest. This could be due to the game's heavy CPU threading demands in multiplayer scenarios, where the 8400F's 6 cores and 12 threads may be stretched, or the game's reliance on single-thread performance, where the CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 951 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 are solid but not exceptional. The data indicates that this combo is adequate but not top-tier for Fivem specifically, despite strong synthetic results.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, effective 14 Gbps, while the base clock is 1410 MHz and boost clock 1665 MHz. The GPU has 4864 shading units, 152 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, along with 38 RT cores and 152 tensor cores. These specifications position it as a capable mid-range card, and the percentile rank of 69 confirms it sits above the median of all GPUs.

In Fivem, the GPU's role appears to become more dominant as resolution increases. At 1080p, the FPS drops from 196.2 on Low to 93.7 on Ultra, a 102.5 FPS spread that suggests the GPU is heavily taxed by higher presets. At 4K, the spread narrows in absolute terms (69.4 Low to 33.9 Ultra, a 35.5 FPS gap) but the relative penalty is similar. The 8 GB VRAM capacity may be a limiting factor at Ultra settings in 4K, as the game could be exceeding the memory buffer, though the measured data does not directly show VRAM usage.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 16.20 TFLOPS and texture rate of 253.1 GTexel/s indicate strong raw throughput, yet the 4K Ultra result of 33.9 FPS shows that even this compute power is insufficient for maxed-out settings at the highest resolution. The pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s also suggests the card can fill frames quickly, but Fivem's multiplayer environments with many dynamic objects likely stress the shading units and ROPs more than the fill rate alone would predict. The data implies the RTX 3060 Ti is the primary bottleneck at 4K Ultra, while at 1080p Low the CPU may take over as the limiting factor.

Q: What is the FPS difference between 1080p and 4K at High settings?

A: At 1080p High, the average is 124.8 FPS, while at 4K High it drops to 42.7 FPS. This represents a 82.1 FPS reduction, or roughly a 66% decrease in frame rate.

Q: Does the Ultra preset ever provide playable frame rates?

A: At 1080p, Ultra averages 93.7 FPS, which is playable. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 64.3 FPS, borderline for 60 Hz. At 4K, Ultra is 33.9 FPS, which is not smooth.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data across resolutions reveals a steep scaling curve. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 124.8 at 1080p to 80.2 at 1440p (a 44.6 FPS drop) and then to 42.7 at 4K (a further 37.5 FPS drop). The 1440p to 4K transition is particularly harsh, losing nearly half the frame rate. For Low settings, the progression is 196.2 to 127 to 69.4 FPS, with similar proportional declines. Medium goes from 154.1 to 102.9 to 55.6 FPS, while Ultra drops from 93.7 to 64.3 to 33.9 FPS.

The scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiting component as resolution rises, particularly beyond 1440p. The 4K results are consistently less than half of the 1080p results across all presets, which points to the RTX 3060 Ti's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth being insufficient for the pixel count at 3840x2160. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 133.2 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply not enough to maintain high FPS at 4K in this game, especially at higher presets. Conversely, the relatively small FPS gaps between Low and Medium at 1080p (42.1 FPS) versus the larger gaps at 4K (13.8 FPS) suggest that at lower resolutions, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads may be keeping pace, while at 4K the GPU saturates regardless of preset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix, built on TSMC's 4 nm process. It has a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 per core. The CPU's 3dmark single-thread score is 951, and its Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2943, indicating strong single-thread performance for a mid-range part. The 3dmark 16-thread score of 6091 and max-thread score of 6165 show good scaling across cores.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p and Low settings, where the frame rate reaches 196.2 FPS. This high figure suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions and settings. However, the 1080p Ultra result of 93.7 FPS, which is only 26.1 FPS higher than the 4K Ultra result of 33.9 FPS, hints that the CPU may start to bottleneck as settings increase, since the GPU workload rises but the FPS does not scale proportionally. The passmark physics score of 1391 and data encryption score of 16684 are moderate, suggesting the CPU handles game logic and physics without major issues, but the 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates there are many faster parts that could push higher frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

The nearest rival AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24993 (0.3% higher), which is essentially identical, meaning the 8400F's performance is typical for its class. The 65W TDP and DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth contribute to its efficiency, but in Fivem's multiplayer environments with many AI-driven entities, the 6-core/12-thread configuration may be the limiting factor at high FPS targets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data is organized by resolution and settings preset, with average FPS values only (no min or max frames recorded).

1080p (1920x1080):

• Low: 196.2 FPS
• Medium: 154.1 FPS
• High: 124.8 FPS
• Ultra: 93.7 FPS

1440p (2560x1440):

• Low: 127 FPS
• Medium: 102.9 FPS
• High: 80.2 FPS
• Ultra: 64.3 FPS

4K (3840x2160):

• Low: 69.4 FPS
• Medium: 55.6 FPS
• High: 42.7 FPS
• Ultra: 33.9 FPS

The largest absolute FPS spread occurs at 1080p, where Low to Ultra spans 102.5 FPS. The smallest spread is at 4K, with a 35.5 FPS difference. At every resolution, the Low preset is the fastest, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra in that order. The FPS deltas between consecutive presets are not uniform: at 1080p, Low to Medium is 42.1 FPS, Medium to High is 29.3 FPS, and High to Ultra is 31.1 FPS. At 4K, the deltas are 13.8 FPS (Low to Medium), 12.9 FPS (Medium to High), and 8.8 FPS (High to Ultra). This narrowing of deltas at higher resolutions reinforces that the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as preset changes have less impact when the GPU is already saturated by the pixel count. The data shows that this combo can deliver high refresh rates at 1080p on lower presets, but 4K gaming requires significant compromises, and even Low settings at 4K do not double the frame rate of Ultra at 4K, suggesting diminishing returns from preset reductions at high resolution.
