Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers a benchmark profile in Fivem that is heavily defined by the GPU's raw power and the CPU's robust multi-threaded capacity. The measured frame rates across all resolutions and presets confirm that this combination is capable of high refresh-rate gameplay, particularly at 1080p and 1440p. Analyzing the data, the most balanced experience is achieved at the High preset, which offers a substantial jump in visual fidelity over Medium and Low while maintaining frame rates well above the 144 Hz threshold at 1440p.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results for Fivem show a clear performance hierarchy across the four tested presets. At 1080p, the Low preset produces an average of 322.7 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 182.3 FPS. This indicates a significant performance cost associated with the highest visual settings. However, the High preset at 1080p yields 230 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate monitor and only 28.7% lower than the Low preset's output. The Medium preset sits between these, delivering 292.8 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the pattern continues. The Low preset hits 242.9 FPS, but the High preset still maintains a robust 154.7 FPS. This is a critical datapoint, as 154.7 FPS is comfortably above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on high-end gaming monitors. The Ultra preset at this resolution falls to 119.5 FPS, which, while playable, may not fully exploit a 144 Hz display's potential. At 4K, the High preset manages 85.2 FPS, a figure that is smooth for a demanding multiplayer title but does not reach high-refresh-rate territory.

Given these metrics, the High preset is the optimal choice for this hardware combination. It provides a substantial improvement in image quality over Medium and Low while sacrificing only a moderate amount of performance compared to the lower presets. The data shows that the High preset at 1440p (154.7 FPS) offers the best balance of visual fidelity and speed, making it the recommended setting for most users. For those prioritizing maximum frame rates on a 240 Hz display, the Medium preset at 1080p (292.8 FPS) is a viable alternative, but the High preset provides a more consistent and visually superior experience overall.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 serves as the primary driver of frame rates in these benchmarks, particularly at higher resolutions. Its architecture, based on Ada Lovelace, is paired with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. This substantial memory allocation ensures that the GPU is not constrained by texture data or geometry buffers, even in the complex, user-generated environments common in Fivem.

The benchmark results illustrate a classic GPU-bound scenario at 4K resolution. When moving from the Low preset (135.3 FPS) to the Ultra preset (65.2 FPS) at 3840x2160, the frame rate drops by 51.8%. This steep decline is characteristic of a system where the GPU's compute and memory throughput are the limiting factors. The RTX 4090's clock speeds, with a base of 2235 MHz and a boost of 2520 MHz, allow it to process the increased shading and texture work demanded by higher presets. The GPU's performance percentile against all other graphics cards is 91, placing it in the top tier of available hardware. Its average benchmark score of 66473, while the nearest rivals show a delta of only 0.4% to -1.3%, indicates that it is a flagship part whose performance is not easily matched by other cards in the database.

The 24 GB frame buffer is a forward-looking feature. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly stressed, the memory capacity prevents any potential stuttering or texture pop-in that could occur with a smaller frame buffer. The data suggests that the GPU is the dominant component in determining the absolute FPS ceiling, especially as resolution scales up.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F provides the computational foundation for this system. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, it operates at a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. This processor's benchmark scores indicate a strong single-thread and multi-thread performance profile. In Cinebench R23, it scores 2943 points in single-core and 20851 points in multi-core tests. These figures are crucial for a game like Fivem, which can be sensitive to both single-core performance for game logic and multi-core performance for asset streaming and NPC processing.

The CPU's influence is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high, reaching 322.7 FPS on Low settings. The fact that these frame rates are so high suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the RTX 4090 with enough draw calls and physics calculations to avoid a significant bottleneck. The CPU's 16 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce latency when accessing frequently used data.

However, the CPU is not entirely without a performance ceiling. The percentileVsAllCpus is 82, and its average benchmark score of 25064 places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25057, delta 0%) and AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (24993, delta 0.3%). This indicates that while it is a competent mid-range processor, it is not in the absolute top tier of CPUs available. The data reveals that at 1080p Medium (292.8 FPS) and High (230 FPS), the scaling is not perfectly linear, suggesting that the CPU is beginning to play a more significant role in limiting the absolute maximum frame rate. The difference between 1080p Low and 1080p Ultra is 140.4 FPS, which is a larger absolute drop than seen at 1440p, hinting that the CPU's processing power is being saturated at this resolution when settings are lowered, and the GPU is not the sole limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for Fivem, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 holds a rank of 44 out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the top 2.5% of all systems tested for this game. This high ranking is directly attributable to the RTX 4090's dominance, which allows the system to achieve frame rates that are unattainable with lesser graphics cards. The CPU's role is to support this high-end GPU, and it does so effectively, enabling the system to reach the upper echelons of the performance charts.

The ranking underscores an important point: the pairing of a top-tier GPU with a solid mid-range CPU can produce a system that outperforms a vast majority of other configurations in a GPU-intensive game like Fivem. While the CPU might not be the absolute fastest available, it is sufficient to keep the RTX 4090 well-fed at most settings, allowing the GPU's raw power to shine. The data confirms that this combo is a high-performance pairing, capable of delivering an elite-level gaming experience in Fivem, as evidenced by its position in the 44th percentile of the top 1792 combos.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates where the bottleneck lies in this system. At the High preset, the average FPS drops from 230 at 1920x1080 to 154.7 at 2560x1440, and finally to 85.2 at 3840x2160. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K. This significant drop is the hallmark of a GPU-bound workload. As the resolution increases, the number of pixels the RTX 4090 must render grows exponentially, placing a correspondingly heavier load on its compute units and memory bandwidth.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a 32.7% decrease in FPS, which is a significant but expected penalty. The subsequent drop from 1440p to 4K is even steeper at 44.9%. This non-linear scaling is typical for a GPU with immense raw power; it is only when the pixel count becomes very high (4K) that the GPU's architectural limits are truly stressed. At 1080p, the frame rates are so high (230 FPS on High) that they approach the limits of what the CPU can supply, making the system more balanced. As the resolution climbs, the GPU takes over as the definitive limiting factor, and the CPU's role diminishes. This analysis confirms that for this specific combination, the RTX 4090 is the component that dictates the performance envelope, and the Ryzen 5 8400F is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU except perhaps at the very highest frame rates possible at 1080p.
