Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dependent on the graphics preset selected. The measured data shows a clear hierarchy where the Low preset provides the highest frame rates across all resolutions, but the Medium and High presets offer a more balanced experience. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 222.2 FPS, while High reaches 189.3 FPS and Ultra drops to 147.1 FPS. The most significant scaling occurs at 3840x2160, where the gap between Low (108.4 FPS) and Ultra (54.3 FPS) is nearly a 2x difference. For the best overall experience, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it maintains high frame rates—207.3 FPS at 1080p, 159.1 FPS at 1440p, and 88.9 FPS at 4K—while providing improved visual fidelity over Low without the substantial performance penalty seen at Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data indicates that the Medium preset offers the optimal balance between visual quality and performance for this combination. At 1920x1080, Medium produces 207.3 FPS, which is only 14.9 FPS lower than Low but 60.2 FPS higher than Ultra. This pattern persists at 2560x1440, where Medium achieves 159.1 FPS compared to 191.6 FPS on Low and 97.4 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, Medium still delivers a playable 88.9 FPS, whereas Ultra drops to 54.3 FPS, which may be below the threshold for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate displays.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset is the clear winner, particularly at 2560x1440 where it hits 191.6 FPS and at 1920x1080 with 222.2 FPS. However, the visual trade-off is significant in a multiplayer environment like Fivem, where clarity at distance can be important. The Ultra preset is only recommended for users with 1920x1080 displays who prioritize visual fidelity, as the 147.1 FPS average remains respectable. At higher resolutions, Ultra's performance drops to 97.4 FPS at 1440p and 54.3 FPS at 4K, which are less justifiable given the diminishing returns in visual quality.

The data suggests that High is a viable alternative to Medium for users who want slightly better visuals. High achieves 189.3 FPS at 1080p, 123.1 FPS at 1440p, and 67.6 FPS at 4K. While the 4K result is borderline, the 1440p and 1080p numbers are strong. The medium preset, however, provides a more consistent experience across all three resolutions, with no result falling below 88.9 FPS.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX brings substantial resources to Fivem, including 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, yielding 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's clock behavior shows a base of 1929 MHz, a game clock of 2365 MHz, and a boost of 2498 MHz. This memory configuration is particularly relevant for Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform that can load large amounts of custom assets and textures. The 24 GB capacity ensures that even heavily modded servers will not encounter VRAM limitations, which is a critical advantage over GPUs with smaller memory pools.

The GPU's compute capabilities, measured at 61.39 TFLOPS FP32, provide ample headroom for the rendering demands of Fivem. The measured frame rates suggest that at lower presets, the CPU becomes the limiting factor, as the GPU is capable of far higher output. For instance, at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average of 222.2 FPS likely approaches the engine's or CPU's ceiling given the i5-10400F's single-thread performance. The GPU's benchmark scores, including a Passmark G3D score of 31238 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6841, place it in the 85th percentile of all GPUs.

The relationship between GPU load and settings is evident in the scaling pattern. From Low to Ultra at 4K, the frame rate drops from 108.4 to 54.3 FPS, a 50% reduction, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution when higher-quality effects are enabled. At 1080p, the same settings change only reduces performance from 222.2 to 147.1 FPS, a 34% drop, suggesting that the CPU begins to limit performance at lower resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the comprehensive database of tested combinations, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX ranks 347th out of 1792 combos for Fivem. This places it in the top 19.4% of all tested configurations, which is a strong result given that the CPU is a mid-range 10th-generation part. The ranking reflects the GPU's dominant role in this game, as the RX 7900 XTX is a high-end card that can compensate for the CPU's limitations in many scenarios.

The CPU itself, while not the fastest, holds its own in synthetic benchmarks. Its average benchmark score of 14168 places it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD EPYC 7552 (0.4% ahead), AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (0.8% behind), Intel Core i5-8500 (1.1% behind), and AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546 (1.2% behind). This indicates that the i5-10400F is a competent processor, but not one that will push frame rates to their absolute maximum in CPU-bound scenarios.

The GPU's ranking is more impressive, sitting in the 85th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 44019. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (0.4% ahead), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (0.8% behind), NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (1.6% behind), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti (2% behind). This level of GPU performance is what drives the combo's overall ranking, as it provides the raw throughput needed for high-resolution gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured average frame rates are 67.6 FPS on High, 108.4 FPS on Low, 88.9 FPS on Medium, and 54.3 FPS on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 54.1 FPS, demonstrating that Fivem's Ultra preset imposes a significant rendering load. The Low preset is the only one that exceeds 100 FPS at this resolution, making it the preferred choice for 4K gaming on high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance improves substantially. The High preset delivers 123.1 FPS, Low reaches 191.6 FPS, Medium achieves 159.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 97.4 FPS. This resolution offers the best balance, as even the Ultra preset stays above 97 FPS, which is suitable for most gaming displays. The Low preset's 191.6 FPS result is particularly impressive and indicates that this combo can drive high-refresh-rate 1440p panels without difficulty.

At 1920x1080, the results are uniformly high. The High preset averages 189.3 FPS, Low reaches 222.2 FPS, Medium hits 207.3 FPS, and Ultra still manages 147.1 FPS. The data shows a clear pattern where the difference between presets narrows at lower resolutions, suggesting that the CPU becomes more of a factor. The 75.1 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is smaller than the 54.1 FPS difference at 4K, which is counterintuitive but reflects the GPU's ability to handle higher resolutions with more headroom.
