Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a strong performance profile in Fivem, with the data indicating that the GPU is the primary scaling factor across resolutions and settings. The measured frames per second range from a demanding 53.5 FPS at 4K Ultra to a fluid 290.6 FPS at 1080p Low, showcasing the hardware's broad capability spectrum.

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 process. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, backed by a 16 MB shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851 and a single-core score of 2943. Its Passmark multithread score of 24530 places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, indicating solid headroom for gaming workloads.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, as evidenced by the scaling patterns across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 290.6 FPS, which is a substantial 60.9% higher than the 4K Low result of 106.5 FPS. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU is capable of feeding frames at a very high rate, but the overall performance is not bottlenecked by the processor. The 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and the 2-thread score of 1874 indicate that the CPU's per-core performance is competent for handling the game's logic and physics threads. When compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 8400F shows a negligible 0.3% advantage over the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, and it is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340. This parity means that in CPU-limited scenarios, the 8400F will perform within a narrow band of its direct competitors, but the benchmark data shows that Fivem with this GPU is not hitting a hard CPU ceiling, as frame rates continue to climb significantly when resolution drops.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a 12 GB GDDR6X card with a 192-bit memory bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. It features 7168 shading units and is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process. The GPU's boost clock is rated at 2475 MHz, and its passmark G3D score of 29995 places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. The card's FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s provide ample raw compute for modern titles.

The GPU's influence in Fivem is pronounced, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. At 4K, the average frame rate drops from 106.5 FPS on Low to 64.5 FPS on High, a 39.4% reduction, and further to 53.5 FPS on Ultra. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the limiting factor at 4K, as the CPU cannot compensate for the increased pixel workload. The card's 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's textures, as the performance drop is consistent with the computational load, not a memory capacity issue. At 1440p, the GPU still leads scaling, with a 50.9% drop from Low (192.7 FPS) to Ultra (94.1 FPS). The GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, is only 0.2% ahead in average benchmark score, while the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is 0.3% ahead, showing that the 4070 SUPER is competitively positioned. The data confirms that while the CPU is capable, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the component that dictates the maximum achievable frame rate, especially when visual fidelity is increased.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, which highlights the changing bottleneck between the CPU and GPU. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 290.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops this to 192.7 FPS, a 33.7% reduction, and at 4K it further declines to 106.5 FPS, a 44.7% drop from 1440p. This progression indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is still able to keep up with the GPU's output, but the GPU is already working harder to render the additional pixels.

When looking at Ultra settings, the scaling is more linear. The system achieves 140.7 FPS at 1080p, 94.1 FPS at 1440p (a 33.1% drop), and 53.5 FPS at 4K (a 43.1% drop from 1440p). The consistent percentage drops across these steps suggest that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at Ultra settings, as the workload scales predictably with pixel count. In contrast, the transition from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings shows a larger relative drop, which could indicate the CPU beginning to saturate its frame generation capacity. However, the fact that 1080p Low reaches nearly 300 FPS suggests that the CPU is not a severe constraint for most gaming scenarios. The aggregate data implies that for a smooth experience, users should target 1440p with higher settings, as the performance at 1440p High (117.9 FPS) is still well above the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K requires lowering settings to achieve playable frame rates.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Fivem with this hardware for a high refresh rate experience?

A: The data indicates that 1440p provides the best balance. At 1440p with High settings, the system averages 117.9 FPS, which is suitable for a 120 Hz display. Pushing to 1080p yields higher frame rates, with 182.6 FPS on High, but the visual fidelity is lower. At 4K, even High settings only produce 64.5 FPS, making it less ideal for high refresh rate monitors.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 SUPER compare to its closest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: According to the average benchmark scores, the RTX 4070 SUPER is virtually tied with the NVIDIA RTX A6000, with the A6000 being 0.2% faster. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE is also very close, being 0.3% faster. The AMD Radeon Pro 580X is 1.4% slower, and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 is 1.6% slower. This shows the 4070 SUPER is competitively positioned among its peers.

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F a bottleneck for the RTX 4070 SUPER in Fivem?

A: The benchmark results suggest that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 290.6 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed frames at a high rate. However, as resolution increases to 4K, the frame rate drops significantly (e.g., 53.5 FPS at 4K Ultra), which points to the GPU becoming the limiting factor. The CPU's performance is sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output at lower resolutions.

A: At 4K, the average frame rate on Low settings is 106.5 FPS. Moving to Medium reduces this to 82.8 FPS, a 22.3% drop. High settings yield 64.5 FPS, and Ultra produces 53.5 FPS. This represents a total performance reduction of 49.8% from Low to Ultra, showing that the GPU workload increases substantially with each settings tier.

Q: Does the 12 GB VRAM of the RTX 4070 SUPER cause any issues at 4K Ultra?

A: The data does not indicate that VRAM capacity is a limiting factor. The performance drop from 4K High (64.5 FPS) to 4K Ultra (53.5 FPS) is consistent with the increased computational load of Ultra settings, not a memory swap issue. The 12 GB capacity is sufficient for the game's requirements at this resolution.

Q: How does the CPU's single-thread performance affect Fivem?

A: Fivem relies on strong single-thread performance for game logic. The Ryzen 5 8400F has a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 951. These scores are adequate for the game, as demonstrated by the high frame rates at 1080p Low (290.6 FPS). The CPU's single-thread capabilities do not appear to be a limiting factor in the measured results.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and frame rate preference. For users with a 4K display, the High preset is the most balanced choice, delivering an average of 64.5 FPS. This provides a playable experience without the heavy performance cost of Ultra settings, which drop to 53.5 FPS. The Medium preset at 82.8 FPS is also a viable option for those seeking higher fluidity at 4K, but the visual quality reduction may be noticeable.

For 1440p displays, the High preset is strongly recommended, as it achieves 117.9 FPS, which is excellent for most high refresh rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 94.1 FPS is also playable, but the marginal visual gains come at a 20.2% performance cost compared to High. Users with 1440p 144 Hz monitors should consider the Medium preset (148.9 FPS) to fully utilize the display's refresh rate, though this sacrifices some graphical fidelity.

At 1080p, the system has significant headroom. The High preset at 182.6 FPS is the recommended choice for a smooth experience on high refresh rate displays, as it balances visual quality with performance. The Ultra preset at 140.7 FPS is still very playable and offers the best image quality, but the drop from High is 22.9%. The Low preset at 290.6 FPS is only advisable for esports-level frame rates, where maximum responsiveness is prioritized over visuals. In summary, the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions, with the exception of 4K where it is the highest playable option. For those prioritizing frame rate, the Medium preset provides a substantial boost at 1440p and 4K without a massive visual downgrade.
