Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework built atop Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile that depends heavily on both the server-side script load and the client’s hardware. For the Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, the measured data reveals a configuration that is entirely playable at high refresh rates for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but which begins to show its limitations at 4K resolution and with the most demanding graphical presets. The benchmark results indicate a system that is well-balanced for its primary use case, though the scaling patterns suggest that the CPU and GPU take turns being the limiting factor depending on the resolution and settings selected.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K provides a clear picture of how the workload shifts between the processor and the graphics card. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 200 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low preset drops the average to 132 FPS, a reduction of 34%. Pushing further to 3840x2160 at Low settings yields 73 FPS, which is another 45% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep decline as resolution increases is a classic sign that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts, even when graphical details are kept low.

However, the scaling pattern changes when the settings are increased. At High settings, the frame rate goes from 126 FPS at 1080p to 83 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop) and then to 46 FPS at 4K (a 45% drop from 1440p). The percentage losses are nearly identical to the Low preset, which suggests that the relative load between CPU and GPU remains consistent. The data shows that Fivem is heavily dependent on both components, but the resolution scaling indicates that the RX 6750 XT's 12 GB of VRAM and 432.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth are sufficient to handle the geometry and texture demands, while the rendering pipeline's fill rate becomes the limiting factor at 4K.

The most telling comparison comes from the Medium preset, which is the only one with complete min/max frame data. At 1080p Medium, the average is 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 182 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average falls to 104 FPS, with the minimum at 88 FPS and maximum at 120 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 58 FPS, with a minimum of 49 FPS and a maximum of 66 FPS. The spread between minimum and maximum frames tightens as resolution increases, which indicates that the frame pacing becomes more consistent when the GPU is under heavier load, but the overall performance ceiling is lower.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 22 chip manufactured on a 7 nm process. Its specifications include 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 40 ray accelerators. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2150 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These figures translate to a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 13.31 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution scales. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS average represents the worst-case scenario in the measured data, and it is clear that the card's raw compute and fill rate are insufficient for maxing out the game at 2160p. The 4K High result of 46 FPS is marginally better but still below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth. The data suggests that the RX 6750 XT is capable of delivering playable frame rates at 1440p with High settings (83 FPS average), but the gap between 1440p and 4K is substantial.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide additional context for its overall capability. The PassMark G3D score of 20700 places it in the 71st percentile among all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 26011 is only 0.5% higher than the AMD Radeon R9 M395X, 0.6% higher than the AMD FirePro W7100, and 0.7% higher than the AMD FirePro D700. The closest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile, scores 1.1% lower. These small deltas indicate that the RX 6750 XT sits in a tight performance band relative to its nearest competitors, which is reflected in the Fivem results where the card delivers consistent performance within its class.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 1681st out of 3707 total tested combos for Fivem. This places the configuration in the upper half of all systems, though not at the very top. The rank of 1681 out of 3707 corresponds to roughly the 55th percentile, meaning that about 45% of tested combos perform better in this game, while 55% perform worse.

The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is severely holding back the other. The CPU, which sits at the 68th percentile among all processors, and the GPU, at the 71st percentile among all graphics cards, are well-matched in terms of their overall benchmark scores. The combo rank is slightly lower than either component's individual percentile, which suggests that Fivem's particular workload does not extract the full potential from this pairing. The multiplayer nature of the game introduces server-side and network-dependent variables that can affect frame rates independently of the hardware, and this may explain why the combo's rank is modest despite both parts being above average.

When compared to other systems, the data shows that this combo is positioned among a wide range of mid-range to upper-mid-range configurations. The 3707 total combos tested mean that there is significant competition, and the 1681st place finish indicates that while this system is capable, there are many other pairings that achieve higher frame rates in Fivem, likely due to stronger single-threaded performance or higher GPU memory bandwidth.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the resolution most commonly used by competitive multiplayer gamers, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset produces an average of 200 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset averages 158 FPS, with a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 182 FPS, showing that even with some graphical enhancements, the system remains well above the 144 Hz threshold. High settings reduce the average to 126 FPS, which is still very fluid. The Ultra preset, which represents the maximum visual fidelity at this resolution, drops the average to 98 FPS, remaining playable but with noticeable headroom lost.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but the impact of the higher resolution becomes apparent. Low settings yield an average of 132 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium settings produce an average of 104 FPS, with a minimum of 88 FPS and a maximum of 120 FPS, indicating that the system can maintain a consistent experience above 90 FPS. High settings average 83 FPS, which is smooth for most players, while Ultra settings bring the average down to 65 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result of 65 FPS is the first point where the system begins to show strain, but it remains above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the limitations of the RX 6750 XT become clear. Low settings average 73 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. Medium settings average 58 FPS, with a minimum of 49 FPS and a maximum of 66 FPS, meaning that dips below 50 FPS are possible during intense scenes. High settings average 46 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings average 36 FPS, which is generally considered too low for comfortable play. The 4K results demonstrate that while the GPU can handle the resolution with reduced settings, the experience is compromised compared to 1080p or 1440p.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 10th Generation Comet Lake processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock is 2.90 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The CPU has a 12 MB shared L3 cache, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 256 KB of L2 cache per core. Memory support is DDR4 with a dual-channel bus, providing 42.7 GB/s of bandwidth. The processor uses the Intel Socket 1200 interface and has a 65 W TDP.

The CPU's benchmark results show a solid mid-range performer. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10283 and single-core score of 1451 indicate balanced performance. The Geekbench multicore score of 6257 and single-core score of 1420 are also respectable. The PassMark multithread score of 12115 and single-thread score of 2541 place the CPU at the 68th percentile overall. Its nearest rivals in the database, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Xeon 6756E (0.2% higher), the Intel Core 7 160UL (0.3% lower), the AMD EPYC 7552 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (0.6% lower). These tight margins indicate that the i5-10400F sits squarely in a competitive performance tier.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the 200 FPS average suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding frames to the GPU at a very high rate. The fact that the frame rate drops only 34% going from 1080p Low to 1440p Low, but then drops 45% going from 1440p Low to 4K Low, indicates that the CPU is still keeping up at 1440p, but the GPU begins to struggle at 4K. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is likely sufficient for Fivem's single-threaded-heavy workload, as evidenced by the strong single-core benchmarks, but the boost clock of 4.30 GHz may be the limiting factor in the most demanding script-heavy multiplayer scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear roadmap for optimizing the experience with this combo. For players using a 1080p monitor with a refresh rate of 144 Hz or higher, the High preset at 126 FPS average is the best balance of visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset at 98 FPS is also viable for those who prioritize image quality over maximum frame rates, but the 28 FPS difference between High and Ultra is significant. The Medium preset at 158 FPS offers the best competitive advantage, though the visual fidelity is noticeably reduced.

For 1440p users, the High preset at 83 FPS average is the recommended choice, as it provides a good visual experience while staying above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset at 104 FPS offers more headroom for those with 120 Hz or 144 Hz monitors, but the reduction in detail may be noticeable. The Ultra preset at 65 FPS is borderline, and players sensitive to frame drops may prefer to avoid it. The Low preset at 132 FPS sacrifices too much visual quality for the frame rate gain.

For 4K users, the data suggests that this combo is not ideal. The Low preset at 73 FPS is the only setting that provides a consistently playable experience, but the visual quality is poor. The Medium preset at 58 FPS average, with dips to 49 FPS, is marginally playable but likely to cause frustration during action sequences. High and Ultra presets at 46 FPS and 36 FPS respectively are not recommended for serious gameplay. The best recommendation for 4K is to use Low settings or reduce the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.
