Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combination ranks 1149th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower-middle tier of all systems measured. This rank reflects a pairing where the 6-core, 12-thread Comet Lake processor and the RDNA 3.0-based GPU deliver playable but not class-leading frame rates, with the data showing a clear ceiling at higher settings. The combo’s standing is consistent with the GPU’s 63rd percentile among all GPUs and the CPU’s 73rd percentile, indicating that neither component boosts the system into the upper echelon for this multiplayer title. Benchmark results show that the RX 7600 XT’s average score of 20146 places it within 1.9% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, while the i5-10400F’s average score of 14168 sits just 1.1% below the Intel Core i5-8500, confirming that this build trades blows with previous-generation hardware rather than decisively outperforming it.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows point to the Low preset as the only settings tier that consistently delivers high refresh-rate performance across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Low produces 166.2 FPS, which is 37.1 FPS ahead of the next-best Medium preset at 129.1 FPS and more than double the Ultra result of 82.3 FPS. For 2560x1440, Low remains the strongest option at 109.4 FPS, while Medium drops to 89 FPS and High falls to 66.1 FPS, making Low the clear choice for maintaining smooth gameplay on higher-resolution monitors. At 3840x2160, Low yields 57.9 FPS, which is playable but below the 60 FPS threshold, whereas Medium manages 49.2 FPS and High only 39 FPS, suggesting that 4K users should accept the Low preset or consider lowering resolution. The data indicates that the Ultra preset is impractical for this combo, as it produces 82.3 FPS at 1080p, 51.5 FPS at 1440p, and 31.3 FPS at 4K, with the latter two results falling well below smooth gameplay standards.

Resolution Scaling

Frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a pronounced GPU bottleneck that intensifies as resolution increases. At Low settings, the drop from 166.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 109.4 FPS at 2560x1440 represents a 34.2% reduction, and the further fall to 57.9 FPS at 3840x2160 is a 47.1% drop from the 1440p figure, demonstrating that the RX 7600 XT’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus cannot sustain high frame rates at 4K. The High preset shows a similar pattern: 101.5 FPS at 1080p falls to 66.1 FPS at 1440p (a 34.9% decrease) and then to 39 FPS at 4K (a 41% decrease from 1440p). The scaling is less severe from 1440p to 4K at Medium settings, where 89 FPS drops to 49.2 FPS, a 44.7% reduction, but the absolute numbers remain low. This behavior indicates that the CPU, with its 2.90 GHz base and 4.30 GHz boost clocks, provides sufficient headroom at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s compute capabilities—22.57 TFLOPS FP32 and 352.6 GTexel/s texture rate—become the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best absolute performance with every preset exceeding 80 FPS. Low settings produce 166.2 FPS, Medium reaches 129.1 FPS, High achieves 101.5 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 82.3 FPS, meaning even the most demanding preset remains playable at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the spread widens: Low hits 109.4 FPS, Medium drops to 89 FPS, High falls to 66.1 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 51.5 FPS, with the gap between Low and Ultra expanding from 83.9 FPS at 1080p to 57.9 FPS at 1440p. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium exceed 40 FPS, with Low at 57.9 FPS and Medium at 49.2 FPS, while High manages 39 FPS and Ultra drops to 31.3 FPS. The data shows that the difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 26.6 FPS, a smaller absolute gap than at lower resolutions, but the low baseline makes Ultra unusable. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset offers the most balanced compromise, staying above 49 FPS even at 4K while providing better visual quality than Low.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications directly explain the measured frame rates. The GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but proves inadequate for 4K, where the data shows FPS dropping to 39 at High settings. The boost clock of 2755 MHz and game clock of 2470 MHz drive the 2048 shading units, and the resulting 22.57 TFLOPS FP32 compute is reflected in the 101.5 FPS at 1080p High, but this performance collapses at higher resolutions. The GPU’s 63rd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 20146 place it near the AMD Radeon RX 7600 (0.6% lower) and the RTX 2060 SUPER (1.9% higher), indicating that this card performs within a narrow band of mid-range GPUs. The pixel rate of 176.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 352.6 GTexel/s are the physical limits that constrain fill-rate-heavy scenes, which explains why the Ultra preset at 4K yields only 31.3 FPS. The 190 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest thermal headroom, but the benchmark data shows that raw memory bandwidth, not cooling, is the primary constraint at high resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F provides a solid foundation for this combo, with its 6 cores and 12 threads operating at a 2.90 GHz base clock and 4.30 GHz boost clock. The CPU’s 73rd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 14168 place it just 0.4% above the AMD EPYC 7552 and 1.1% below the Intel Core i5-8500, showing that it performs on par with older desktop processors. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache and DDR4 dual-channel memory support with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for feeding the GPU at 1080p, where the data shows 166.2 FPS at Low settings, but the CPU’s single-thread performance of 688 in 3dmark and 1453 in Cinebench R23 suggests it is not the bottleneck in this title. The CPU’s multithreaded capabilities, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10297 and Passmark multithread score of 12115, allow it to handle the multiplayer overhead of Fivem without dropping frame rates at lower resolutions. However, the fact that FPS scales down dramatically from 1080p to 4K indicates that the GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting factor in this system. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 14 nm process node are modest by modern standards, but the benchmark data shows no evidence of CPU-induced frame pacing issues at any tested resolution.
