Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a robust 1080p experience in Fivem, with performance scaling predictably as resolution increases to 4K. The data shows a clear transition from a CPU-bound scenario at lower resolutions to a GPU-bound one at 4K, making this pairing a balanced match for the game’s demands.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve as resolution climbs from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 121.2 FPS at 1080p to 75.4 FPS at 1440p, a decline of approximately 38%, before falling further to 43.7 FPS at 4K. This trajectory indicates that the RTX 4060’s rendering throughput becomes the limiting factor at higher pixel counts, while the CPU has ample headroom to feed frames at lower resolutions.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets. At Low settings, the system achieves 188.2 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 124.5 FPS at 1440p and 71.4 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is roughly 34%, while the jump to 4K costs another 43% of performance. This suggests that even at the lowest graphical load, the GPU’s pixel throughput becomes a bottleneck at 4K, though the absolute numbers remain playable.

At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 92.1 FPS at 1080p to 57.5 FPS at 1440p and 33 FPS at 4K. The 4K result is notably below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this combination is not suited for maximum-quality 4K play in Fivem. The scaling from Medium to High to Ultra at each resolution shows a consistent penalty, with Ultra costing roughly 24% of performance compared to High at 1080p and 23% at 4K.

The data indicates that 1440p is the sweet spot for this pairing, offering a balance between visual fidelity and frame rate. At High settings, the 75.4 FPS average at 1440p is smooth, while even Ultra settings maintain a respectable 57.5 FPS. The 1080p results are uniformly excellent, with all settings presets exceeding 90 FPS, making this resolution the clear choice for competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node and houses 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz drive its shading units, which number 3072, alongside 96 TMUs and 48 ROPs. This configuration yields a FP32 throughput of 15.11 TFLOPS, which directly influences the pixel fill rate of 118.1 GPixel/s.

In Fivem, the GPU’s memory capacity and bandwidth are critical at higher resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gameplay, but at 4K, the combination of higher pixel counts and detailed textures can pressure the memory subsystem. The measured 4K Ultra result of 33 FPS suggests that both the memory bandwidth and the GPU’s compute resources are stretched thin, leading to a substantial performance drop compared to lower resolutions.

The RTX 4060’s ray tracing cores and tensor cores, numbering 24 and 96 respectively, are present but not directly reflected in the measured FPS data for Fivem, which appears to rely primarily on rasterization performance. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 19545 places it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, showing it is a mid-range part that excels at 1080p and handles 1440p well but struggles at 4K with this game’s workload.

The GPU’s power envelope is modest, with a TDP of 115 W and a suggested PSU of 300 W, allowing it to maintain boost clocks consistently without thermal throttling in most systems. The 128-bit memory interface and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for the data throughput required at 1440p, but the 4K results confirm that the RTX 4060 is not designed for high-resolution gaming in Fivem beyond Medium settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, using the Phoenix codename on a 4 nm TSMC process. It operates at a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 16 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. This configuration delivers strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 and multi-core score of 20851.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often relies on CPU performance for physics, networking, and entity management, the 8400F’s single-thread capabilities are crucial. The PassMark single-thread score of 3684 and the 3DMark single-thread score of 951 indicate that the CPU can handle the game’s logical thread efficiently, which is reflected in the high 1080p frame rates. At 1080p Low settings, the 188.2 FPS average suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond the frame rates needed for smooth gameplay.

The CPU’s 12 threads provide ample multi-threaded headroom for background tasks and game server communication. The PassMark multi-thread score of 24530 and the 3DMark max-thread score of 6165 show that the processor can handle concurrent workloads without becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the CPU’s utilization likely drops as the frame rate decreases.

The 8400F’s memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, paired with DDR5 support, ensures that data can be fed to the CPU cores without starvation. The processor’s 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs places it slightly above the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X in average benchmark score, showing it is a competent mid-range part that pairs well with the RTX 4060 for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 188.2 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings drop to 148.4 FPS, while High settings yield 121.2 FPS. Ultra settings still manage 92.1 FPS, making 1080p playable at maximum quality with a smooth experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the GPU’s increasing load. Low settings average 124.5 FPS, Medium settings achieve 98 FPS, and High settings produce 75.4 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 57.5 FPS, which is playable but below the 60 FPS target for smooth motion. The 1440p results indicate that High settings are the recommended compromise between visual quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4060 begins to struggle. Low settings still deliver a playable 71.4 FPS, but Medium settings fall to 51.5 FPS. High settings average 43.7 FPS, which is borderline for single-player experiences but may feel sluggish in multiplayer. Ultra settings bottom out at 33 FPS, making 4K gaming impractical at maximum quality with this combination.

The data shows a consistent pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. The delta between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is approximately 96 FPS, while at 4K, the same comparison yields a 38.4 FPS difference. This indicates that the GPU’s pixel processing capability is the dominant factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s performance ceiling is only approached at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1025th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the upper-middle tier of configurations. The rank reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where neither component drastically limits the other in typical gameplay scenarios.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in benchmark performance include the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with an average score of 25057, which is a 0% delta from the 8400F’s score.

The combo’s rank of 1025 out of 1792 suggests that while it is not a top-tier configuration, it outperforms a significant portion of tested systems. The data indicates that for Fivem, this pairing is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the 4K results being the primary weakness. The balanced nature of the CPU and GPU means that users can expect consistent performance without obvious bottlenecks at mainstream resolutions, making it a reliable choice for the game’s multiplayer environments.
