Fivem

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a highly playable Fivem experience across most settings, with the data indicating that the Medium preset at 1080p provides the optimal balance of visual quality and performance headroom. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces an average of 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 FPS, offering a substantial margin above standard 144Hz refresh rates while maintaining better visual fidelity than Low settings. The High preset at 1080p still achieves a solid 127 FPS average, but the frame pacing advantage of Medium, evidenced by the tight 135-183 FPS range, makes it the more consistent choice for competitive multiplayer scenarios. For users with 1440p displays, Medium remains the recommended preset, delivering 105 FPS average with minimums of 89 FPS, which keeps gameplay smooth during dense city scenes. Pushing to Ultra at any resolution introduces significant performance costs—dropping averages to 99 FPS at 1080p, 65 FPS at 1440p, and 36 FPS at 4K—making it unsuitable for fast-paced multiplayer where frame consistency matters more than shadow quality and draw distance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data across all resolutions and presets reveals a clear pattern: Medium settings represent the sweet spot for this hardware combination in Fivem. At 1920x1080, Medium yields 159 FPS average with a 135 FPS minimum, which is 58 FPS higher than Ultra and only 42 FPS lower than Low. The trade-off between Low's 201 FPS and Medium's 159 FPS is worth accepting, as the visual uplift from Low to Medium in a game like Fivem—where player-created content and custom assets dominate—is substantial. For 2560x1440, Medium maintains 105 FPS average with 89 FPS minimums, keeping gameplay fluid even in busy lobbies. The 4K Medium result of 58 FPS average (49 FPS minimum) is borderline, but only recommended for players who prioritize resolution over frame rate; the 74 FPS Low result at 4K is the only viable alternative for those targeting 60 FPS on 2160p displays. Ultra settings are consistently the worst choice relative to their cost: at 1080p, Ultra drops to 99 FPS (37% below Medium), and at 1440p it falls to 65 FPS (38% below Medium). The data strongly suggests that Ultra's incremental visual gains do not justify the frame rate penalties in a multiplayer context where responsiveness is paramount.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific configuration—AMD Ryzen 5 8400F with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060—holds the 1637th position out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the 44th percentile of all tested systems. This mid-pack ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: neither component is top-tier, but they complement each other well for this particular title. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all processors indicates that the Ryzen 5 8400F is a solid mid-range performer, with an average benchmark score of 25005 that places it in close competition with the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (24964, 0.2% ahead), Intel Core i7-11850H (24935, 0.3% ahead), and Intel Core i7-13620H (24911, 0.4% ahead). The AMD EPYC 9474F (25103) is only 0.4% faster, showing that the 8400F punches well above its weight class in synthetic tests. On the GPU side, the RTX 5060's 72nd percentile ranking and average score of 26331 places it in a tight cluster of competitors: the AMD Radeon 860M (26401, 0.3% faster), NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (26421, 0.3% faster), and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (26553, 0.8% faster) all sit within a negligible margin, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT (26011) is 1.2% slower. The combo's overall rank of 1637 reflects that while individual components are strong mid-rangers, the system does not crack the top tercile for Fivem specifically—likely due to the game's CPU-heavy multiplayer nature and the RTX 5060's 8GB VRAM limiting Ultra texture packs.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060's memory configuration is a defining factor in Fivem's performance scaling. With 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, the card delivers 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth—a figure that proves sufficient for Medium settings across all resolutions but becomes strained at Ultra where higher-resolution textures and increased draw distances demand more capacity. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS average, compared to 58 FPS at Medium, indicates that the GPU is not only compute-limited but also memory-bandwidth-limited at the highest preset. The card's 2280 MHz base and 2497 MHz boost clocks provide the raw throughput needed for the 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance, yet the measured frame rates show that Fivem's engine scales more with memory capacity than raw compute at higher presets. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3628 and PassMark G3D score of 20891 confirm the GPU's mid-range positioning, but the real-world results in Fivem show a clear pattern: the RTX 5060 handles 1080p and 1440p Medium effortlessly, while 4K requires dropping to Low settings (74 FPS) to maintain playability. The 48 ROPS and 120 TMUs are adequate for the game's geometry loads, and the PCIe 5.0 x8 interface presents no bottleneck at these frame rates. The GPU's 72nd percentile ranking among all graphics cards, alongside its nearest rivals all scoring within 1.2% of its average, demonstrates that the 5060 is a consistent performer that neither surprises nor disappoints in Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the resolution spectrum shows a clear hierarchy: Low produces 201 FPS average, Medium 159 FPS (135 min, 183 max), High 127 FPS, and Ultra 99 FPS. The 42 FPS gap between Low and Medium is the largest single-step drop, indicating that Medium's additional effects (likely ambient occlusion, improved shadows, and better LOD transitions) carry a significant cost. The 32 FPS difference between Medium and High, and the 28 FPS difference between High and Ultra, show diminishing returns as settings increase. Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern emerges with reduced absolute numbers: Low hits 133 FPS, Medium 105 FPS (89 min, 120 max), High 84 FPS, and Ultra 65 FPS. The percentage drops from 1080p are consistent: Low falls 33.8%, Medium 34.0%, High 33.9%, and Ultra 34.3%, suggesting that resolution scaling is uniform across settings. At 3840x2160, the results become more erratic: Low drops to 74 FPS (a 63.2% reduction from 1080p), Medium to 58 FPS (49 min, 67 max), High to 46 FPS, and Ultra to 36 FPS. The 4K results show an interesting anomaly—the gap between Low and Medium shrinks to 16 FPS (21.6%), compared to the 42 FPS gap at 1080p, indicating that at 4K the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck regardless of settings, compressing the performance differences between presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, built on the Zen 4 (Phoenix) architecture with a 4 nm process, provides 6 cores and 12 threads operating at 4.20 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost clocks. Its 16 MB shared L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are modest by modern standards, yet the 3DMark 16-thread score of 6091 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 demonstrate solid multi-threaded capability for Fivem's server-side physics and AI computations. The single-thread performance, measured at 951 in 3DMark and 2943 in Cinebench R23, is particularly relevant for Fivem, as the game's engine often relies on a few heavily loaded threads for player position updates and network interpolation. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 25005, with the nearest rival (AMD EPYC 9474F) only 0.4% faster, shows that the 8400F provides excellent processing headroom. In the measured FPS data, the 1080p Low result of 201 FPS indicates the CPU can feed the RTX 5060 effectively at lower settings where the GPU is not the primary constraint. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration with 65W TDP delivers this performance efficiently, and the absence of integrated graphics (N/A) means all display output relies on the discrete GPU, which is the intended configuration. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3685 and multithread score of 24389 confirm balanced performance across both lightly-threaded and fully-threaded workloads, supporting Fivem's mixed usage patterns of single-thread-critical game logic and multi-threaded asset streaming.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the performance bottleneck shifts as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At 1920x1080, the average FPS across all settings ranges from 99 (Ultra) to 201 (Low), with an average of 146.5 FPS. Scaling to 2560x1440 reduces these values to 65-133 FPS (average 96.75), representing a uniform 33.9% performance drop across all presets—this consistency indicates that both the CPU and GPU are being scaled proportionally, with no single component dominating. However, at 3840x2160, the pattern breaks: average FPS drops to 36-74 (average 53.5), a 63.5% reduction from 1080p, which is significantly steeper than the 33.9% drop from 1080p to 1440p. This non-linear scaling at 4K points to the GPU's memory bandwidth becoming the limiting factor. The 8GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth on the RTX 5060 are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K the pixel count increases 4x from 1080p, requiring more texture memory and bandwidth. The compression of the FPS range at 4K (36-74, a 38 FPS spread) versus 1080p (99-201, a 102 FPS spread) shows that at 2160p, the GPU is saturated regardless of settings—even Low at 4K (74 FPS) is close to Medium (58 FPS), whereas at 1080p, Low (201 FPS) is 26% faster than Medium (159 FPS). This data confirms that for the RTX 5060, 4K gaming in Fivem is only viable at Low settings, and the card operates in its efficient envelope at 1080p and 1440p where the Ryzen 5 8400F can maintain high enough frame rates to keep the GPU fed.
