Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER pairing delivers a strong, high-refresh-rate experience in Fivem, with the data showing a clear shift in system bottleneck depending on resolution and settings. The 6-core, 12-thread CPU, built on the Zen 4 architecture, provides solid single-thread performance that is critical for this multiplayer title, while the RTX 4080 SUPER’s substantial graphics horsepower ensures that visual fidelity does not come at the cost of playability. Below is a breakdown of how this combo behaves across the measured settings and resolutions.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. In Fivem, a game that often relies on single-thread performance for game logic and simulation, this CPU’s architecture proves adequate. Its 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2943 indicate strong per-core capability, which is directly relevant to how the game handles physics and entity updates. The CPU’s 16 MB of shared L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close, reducing latency in busy multiplayer scenarios.

The data shows that the CPU is not the primary limiting factor in most tested configurations. At 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches an average of 327.9 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that suggests the processor is keeping up with the GPU’s output. However, as settings increase to Ultra at 1080p, the average drops to 160.6 FPS, indicating that the workload shifts more toward the graphics card. The CPU’s multithreaded potential, seen in its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851, is not fully stressed in this title, as Fivem does not typically scale perfectly with all 12 threads. The 8400F’s 65 W TDP shows it is an efficient part, but its real value here is its consistent single-thread delivery, which prevents frame drops in less demanding scenes.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Choosing the right settings depends on the target display refresh rate, but the benchmark results give clear guidance. For 1080p gaming, the High preset delivers an average of 210.5 FPS, which is a comfortable margin above the 144 Hz threshold and indicates a smooth experience. The Low preset at 1080p yields 327.9 FPS, but that high frame rate is unnecessary for most monitors and comes with a significant visual quality trade-off. The Medium preset at 1080p, with an average of 260.6 FPS, is a balanced option that still offers high frame rates while improving visual detail over Low. The Ultra preset at 1080p, at 160.6 FPS, is still very playable and offers the best visual quality, making it a viable choice for users with high-refresh-rate displays who prioritize image fidelity.

At 1440p, the High preset is the standout recommendation, producing an average of 135.5 FPS. This is an excellent result for a 1440p monitor, as it keeps the action fluid without requiring a drop in quality. The Medium preset at 1440p, at 169.2 FPS, is also a strong option for those seeking higher frame rates, but the High setting provides a better balance between visual richness and performance. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 107.4 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS but does not feel as responsive. For 4K resolution, the High preset is the only sensible choice for smooth gameplay, with an average of 76.3 FPS; the Ultra preset at 4K falls to 59.2 FPS, which barely hits the 60 FPS target but may suffer from dips in busy scenes.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The scaling of average FPS across resolutions reveals the GPU’s dominance in this pairing. From 1080p High to 1440p High, the average FPS drops from 210.5 to 135.5, a reduction of about 35%. Moving from 1440p High to 4K High, the average falls from 135.5 to 76.3, a further drop of approximately 44%. This consistent decrease as resolution climbs points to the RTX 4080 SUPER being the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Fivem’s textures, but the sheer pixel workload at 4K taxes the card’s compute units.

At 1080p Low, the average of 327.9 FPS is so high that the CPU’s limits start to become apparent, but the system is still GPU-bound in most scenarios. The fact that the 8400F can push over 300 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that its single-thread performance is not a severe limitation. The drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low, from 327.9 to 117.8 FPS, is a reduction of about 64%, which is a massive performance hit that is solely attributed to the GPU rendering more pixels. This pattern confirms that for high-refresh-rate 1080p or 1440p gaming, the combo is well-balanced, but for 4K, the CPU has ample headroom while the GPU is fully utilized.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 115th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 6.4% of all configurations tested, which is a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank indicates that the CPU is not holding back the graphics card significantly, as the combo outperforms the vast majority of systems in the database. The CPU itself sits at the 82nd percentile among all processors, and its average benchmark score of 25064 is nearly identical to that of the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, which scores 25057, showing a 0% delta. This suggests that the 8400F’s gaming performance is comparable to that older flagship, but with the benefit of a more modern platform.

The GPU ranks in the 88th percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 53610. Its nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, which scores 53489, putting the RTX 4080 SUPER just 0.2% ahead. This close margin in synthetic benchmarks translates to similar raw performance in games, but the RTX 4080 SUPER’s features like ray tracing and DLSS may offer advantages in other titles. The combo’s rank of 115 shows that while the GPU is powerful, the CPU’s relatively modest core count does not prevent it from achieving a top-tier result in Fivem, a game that is not heavily multi-threaded.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the driving force behind the high frame rates seen in this data. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This is ample for Fivem’s detailed environments and custom mods, which can consume significant VRAM. The GPU’s base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz are high for a 40-series card, and its 10240 shading units are responsible for the massive fill rates. The card’s 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is a theoretical measure, but the practical results show it is more than capable of handling the game’s demands.

The GPU’s performance is clearly the deciding factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 59.2, which is a steep decline from the 76.3 FPS at 4K High. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces settings that heavily tax the GPU’s pixel processing capabilities. The card’s 320 TMUs and 112 ROPs are working hard to fill the screen, and the data shows that the High preset is the optimal balance. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are not directly relevant to Fivem’s standard rendering, but they do not hurt performance. The GPU’s end-of-life production status means it is being replaced, but its current performance in Fivem is still in the top tier, as evidenced by its 88th percentile ranking.

FAQ
