Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile for the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal a system that is heavily influenced by both CPU and GPU workloads, typical of a multiplayer environment with heavy scripting and asset streaming. This analysis breaks down the measured data to show how this specific hardware pairing behaves.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 demonstrates a classic scaling curve, but with a notable twist. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 249 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops that figure to 162.5 FPS, a 34.7% reduction. The jump to 4K further reduces the average to 91.5 FPS, which is a 43.7% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep decline at lower settings indicates that the CPU is the primary limiter at 1080p, but the GPU begins to take over as the resolution increases.

The pattern shifts when examining Ultra settings. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 123.3 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, that number falls to 77.3 FPS, a 37.3% decrease. At 4K Ultra, the average plummets to 45.4 FPS, which is a 41.3% drop from the 1440p result. The consistent percentage drops across the resolution spectrum suggest that neither component is completely saturating the other, but rather they are working in tandem, with the GPU becoming the more significant bottleneck as pixel count rises. The data shows that at 4K, even with the powerful RTX 3080, the system struggles to maintain high refresh rates on Ultra presets, pointing to the sheer pixel throughput required at 3840x2160.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy for optimal playability. For a smooth experience at 3840x2160, the High preset is the only viable option, delivering 56.5 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K yields 71.2 FPS, but the jump from Low (91.5 FPS) to Medium (71.2 FPS) is a 22.2% performance hit, which is significant. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 45.4 FPS, falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it less desirable for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 100.5 FPS, which is a solid balance for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 77.3 FPS is still playable but represents a 23.1% reduction from High. For competitive play, the Low preset at 162.5 FPS offers the highest headroom, but the visual compromise is substantial. At 1920x1080, the High preset at 159.6 FPS is the sweet spot, providing a fluid experience. The Ultra preset at 123.3 FPS is also excellent, but the jump from High to Ultra costs a 22.7% performance drop. Based on the data, the High preset is recommended across all resolutions as the best compromise between visual fidelity and frame rate, with 1080p and 1440p offering particularly strong results.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination holds a rank of 555 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places the pairing in the 69th percentile of all tested systems, indicating a solidly above-average configuration for this specific game. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25064 puts it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU’s average score of 35787 places it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs. The combination of two high-percentile components results in a system that is well-suited for the demands of Fivem, though not at the very top tier of performance.

When compared to its nearest rivals, the CPU’s performance is tightly clustered. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X has an average score of 25057, a 0% difference from the 8400F. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 scores 25099, a -0.1% difference, and the AMD EPYC 9474F scores 25103, a -0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F scores 24993, a 0.3% difference. These negligible deltas indicate that the 8400F’s raw processing power is in a very competitive band with these alternatives.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3080’s nearest rivals also show minimal differences. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo scores 35860, a -0.2% delta, while the AMD Radeon 880M scores 35646, a 0.4% delta. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE scores 36101, a -0.9% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 35435, a 1% delta. The benchmark results indicate that the RTX 3080 remains a formidable contender, with its average score being nearly identical to much newer hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data is complete across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are as follows: Low averages 249 FPS, Medium averages 198.2 FPS, High averages 159.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 123.3 FPS. The progression shows a predictable step-down as settings increase, with a 20.4% drop from Low to Medium, a 19.5% drop from Medium to High, and a 22.7% drop from High to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 162.5 FPS, Medium at 128.7 FPS, High at 100.5 FPS, and Ultra at 77.3 FPS. The percentage drop from Low to Medium is 20.8%, from Medium to High is 21.9%, and from High to Ultra is 23.1%. The scaling is consistent, with each preset tier costing approximately 20-23% performance.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 91.5 FPS, Medium at 71.2 FPS, High at 56.5 FPS, and Ultra at 45.4 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 22.2%, from Medium to High is 20.6%, and from High to Ultra is 19.6%. The scaling here is slightly more compressed at the top end, but the overall trend remains. The data shows that the system is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p, even on Ultra, but the playable range at 4K is limited to the High preset and below.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is a significant contributor to these results. Its 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s, which is critical for Fivem’s high-resolution texture streaming. The GPU’s boost clock of 1710 MHz and its 8704 shading units are responsible for the raw pixel-pushing power seen in the 4K results. The data suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as the CPU is able to feed it frames faster than it can render, evidenced by the 249 FPS Low setting result.

However, as the resolution increases, the GPU’s workload becomes more demanding. The 4K Ultra result of 45.4 FPS highlights the limits of the 10 GB memory buffer and the GA102 chip’s compute capabilities when faced with the highest quality settings. The RTX 3080’s 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are present, but Fivem’s performance is more heavily dependent on traditional rasterization and memory bandwidth. The GPU’s percentile rank of 80 indicates it is a high-end part, but the data shows it is not invincible at 4K Ultra. The 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth is a key asset, but the 10 GB capacity can be a constraint in this multiplayer environment where draw distances and asset density are high.
