Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by graphical settings and resolution. The measured frame rates reveal a system that is capable of high refresh rate gaming at 1080p but begins to strain under the load of 4K, particularly at higher quality presets.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 215.4 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that average to 140.1 FPS, a reduction of approximately 35%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 81.1 FPS. This trajectory indicates that at lower resolutions, the system has ample headroom, but the rendering load scales significantly with pixel count.

The impact of resolution becomes more pronounced when examining higher quality settings. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 134.7 FPS at 1080p to 86 FPS at 1440p, and then to 47.5 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1440p and 4K is substantial, suggesting that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as the pixel count increases. The Ultra preset amplifies this trend, with the average falling from 103.9 FPS at 1080p to 68.2 FPS at 1440p, and finally to a demanding 37.4 FPS at 4K.

This scaling behavior points to a system where the CPU is capable of feeding frames at lower resolutions, but the GPU's workload becomes the bottleneck as resolution increases. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 4K is stark: 81.1 FPS versus 37.4 FPS. The data suggests that for smooth 4K gameplay, users would need to stick to Low or Medium settings, while 1440p offers a more balanced experience with High settings yielding 86 FPS. At 1080p, the system is clearly GPU-bound at higher settings, but the CPU still holds its own, as evidenced by the 215.4 FPS result at Low settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. This configuration provides a solid foundation for gaming, and its benchmark scores confirm its capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it scores 20851 points in multi-core and 2943 points in single-core tests. These results place it in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, indicating strong overall performance.

In the context of Fivem, a multiplayer game that often relies on single-thread performance, the CPU's single-core score of 2943 is particularly relevant. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 215.4 FPS, which is well beyond the threshold where the CPU might become a bottleneck. The processor's 3DMark scores also illustrate its scaling: 1874 points for 2 threads, 3563 for 4 threads, 5275 for 8 threads, and 6165 for max threads. This scaling indicates that while the processor benefits from additional threads, its performance gains diminish beyond 8 threads, which is typical for gaming workloads.

The nearest rivals for the CPU, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 with a deltaPct of -0.1, and the AMD EPYC 9474F with a deltaPct of -0.2. The Ryzen 5 7500F is 0.3% ahead. These negligible differences suggest that the 8400F is on par with these processors in general compute tasks. In Fivem, the measured frame rates at 1080p, such as 134.7 FPS at High settings, suggest that the CPU is not the primary constraint, as the frame rate is still quite high. The boost clock of 4.70 GHz helps ensure that the processor can keep up with the game's simulation and physics threads, even in crowded multiplayer scenarios.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its boost clock is rated at 1725 MHz. With 5888 shading units and 46 RT cores, it is a capable card for modern gaming. The GPU's benchmark results show a Passmark G3D score of 22214, placing it in the 72nd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which is 0.9% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which is 1% behind. The AMD FirePro S7150 is 0.6% ahead, and the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is 1.1% ahead.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 103.9, which is lower than the 134.7 FPS at High settings. This shows that the GPU is being taxed more heavily by the higher quality presets. The most telling data point is at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 37.4. This is a significant reduction from the 47.5 FPS at 4K High, indicating that the Ultra preset places a heavy load on the GPU's rendering pipeline. The 8 GB VRAM capacity may also be a factor at 4K with high-quality textures, as the game could be pushing against the memory limit.

The GPU's performance at 1440p Medium, yielding 113.4 FPS, shows that it can handle a balance of quality and framerate. However, the jump from Medium to High at 1440p results in a drop from 113.4 FPS to 86 FPS, a 24% reduction. This suggests that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences between settings. The data clearly indicates that for a consistent 60+ FPS experience, the GPU is best utilized at 1440p with High settings or 1080p with Ultra settings, where it achieves 103.9 FPS. The RTX 3070's 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance is a strong indicator of its raw capability, but Fivem's engine seems to scale aggressively with both resolution and settings, making the GPU the dominant factor in this pairing at higher loads.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 831 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the upper half of all tested configurations, specifically in the 46th percentile of the database. This ranking reflects a system that is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and solid performance at 1440p, but it is not among the top-tier configurations for 4K gaming.

The rank is a holistic measure that accounts for performance across all resolutions and settings. The data shows that this combo excels at 1080p, where it can push frame rates well above 100 FPS at most settings, and even reach 215.4 FPS at Low. At 1440p, it remains competitive, with High settings delivering 86 FPS, which is a solid result for most monitors. The system's weakness is clearly at 4K, where it struggles to maintain 60 FPS at any setting above Medium. The 831st rank suggests that while this is a capable setup, there are many other combos that offer better 4K performance or higher frame rates at lower resolutions. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking and the GPU's 72nd percentile ranking are strong individually, but their combined performance in Fivem is moderated by the game's demanding nature at higher resolutions. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p gaming, this rank is favorable. For those aiming for a 4K experience, the data indicates that this combo would require significant setting compromises to achieve playable frame rates.
