Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 158.4 FPS, which drops to 105.3 FPS at 1440p and further to 55.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 33% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 47% reduction from 1440p to 4K, indicating that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as the pixel count rises.

The scaling behavior changes notably when moving to higher quality presets. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 78 FPS at 1080p to 54.1 FPS at 1440p (a 31% drop) and then to 27.1 FPS at 4K (a 50% drop from 1440p). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed progressively harder at higher resolutions, but the 6-core i5-10400F maintains sufficient throughput to avoid becoming the primary constraint until the GPU is fully saturated.

At the lowest settings, the gap between 1080p and 1440p is particularly revealing. The 158.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 105.3 FPS at 1440p, a 53.1 FPS difference. This substantial gap indicates that even with reduced graphical load, the GPU's shading units and texture units are still the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 2176 shading units and 136 TMUs must process significantly more pixels at 1440p, and the data shows this workload increase directly translates to lower frame rates.

The 4K results across all settings tell a consistent story: the RTX 2060 SUPER is firmly the bottleneck at this resolution. Even at Low settings, 4K produces only 55.9 FPS, which is barely more than half of the 1080p Low result. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 27.1 FPS, confirming that this GPU cannot sustain playable frame rates at 4K with maximum quality in Fivem. The scaling pattern suggests that the CPU's 12 threads and 12 MB shared L3 cache are adequate for the game's server-side and entity-rendering workloads, but the GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is simply insufficient for 4K Ultra.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER plays the decisive role in determining Fivem's frame rates across all tested configurations. The GPU's base clock of 1470 MHz and boost clock of 1650 MHz, combined with its 8 GB GDDR6 memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective), dictate the performance envelope for this combo. The 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is a critical specification, as Fivem's open-world multiplayer environment frequently streams large amounts of texture and entity data.

The GPU's compute capabilities are substantial for its class. With 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, the RTX 2060 SUPER delivers 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s. These specifications translate directly to the measured results: at 1080p Ultra, the GPU sustains 78 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it falls to 27.1 FPS. The 2.9x reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings aligns with the 4x increase in pixel count, showing that the GPU's pixel throughput is nearly linear in this workload.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB proves adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem, as demonstrated by the playable frame rates at these resolutions. However, at 4K, the combination of higher resolution textures and the game's multiplayer environment likely pushes against this memory limit. The RTX 2060 SUPER's position in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774, places it just 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN and 0.5% behind the RTX 2070. This tight grouping suggests that the GPU's performance in Fivem is representative of its general compute capabilities rather than being game-specific.

The GPU also contributes through its DirectX 12 Ultimate support, which enables the game to utilize modern rendering features. The 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are present in the silicon, though Fivem's workload appears to rely primarily on the rasterization pipeline. The measured FPS data shows no anomalous behavior that would indicate ray tracing or DLSS being engaged, and the performance scaling follows expected rasterization patterns.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1325 out of 1792 tested combinations for Fivem. This places the combo in the 26th percentile of all configurations, meaning roughly 74% of tested systems deliver higher average frame rates in this game. The ranking reflects the GPU's mid-tier positioning (63rd percentile) combined with a CPU that sits in the 73rd percentile of all processors.

The CPU's standing among its nearest rivals helps contextualize the combo's overall rank. The i5-10400F's average benchmark score of 14168 is 0.4% higher than the AMD EPYC 7552's 14115, yet 0.8% lower than the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C's 14277 and 1.1% lower than the Intel Core i5-8500's 14332. These small percentage differences indicate that the CPU is competitively positioned within its immediate performance class, but the 12-thread Comet Lake processor is not a standout performer for Fivem's specific workload.

For the GPU, the RTX 2060 SUPER's percentile ranking of 63 places it just above the midpoint of all graphics cards. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the GTX TITAN trails by 0.3%, the RTX 2070 leads by 0.5%, the Quadro K5200 leads by 0.8%, and the Tesla K40m leads by 1.3%. This narrow spread means that swapping the GPU for any of these alternatives would produce only marginal changes in Fivem performance, and the combo's 1325th rank is primarily a function of the GPU's overall compute tier rather than any specific architectural advantage.

The rank of 1325 out of 1792 also indicates that Fivem is a demanding title for this hardware. The game's multiplayer nature, with its reliance on server-side entity synchronization and community-created content, places unique stresses on both CPU and GPU. The measured FPS data shows that even at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 158.4 FPS, which is respectable but not exceptional when considering that many higher-ranked combinations likely reach 200+ FPS at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo delivers its strongest performance across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 158.4 FPS, while Medium yields 123.6 FPS, High produces 102.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 78 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 50.7% reduction in frame rate, indicating that each quality tier adds significant GPU workload. The gap between Medium and High is 21 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 24.6 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset's additional effects have a substantial impact.

Moving to 2560x1440 resolution, the performance scales downward as expected. Low settings produce 105.3 FPS, which drops to 80.6 FPS at Medium, 64.7 FPS at High, and 54.1 FPS at Ultra. The percentage reduction from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: Low drops by 33.5%, Medium by 34.8%, High by 36.9%, and Ultra by 30.6%. This consistency suggests that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary determinants of performance at this resolution, with no single setting causing a disproportionate penalty.

At 3840x2160 resolution, all settings produce sub-60 FPS results. Low settings achieve 55.9 FPS, Medium produces 47.1 FPS, High drops to 33.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 27.1 FPS. The reduction from 1440p to 4K is more severe: Low drops by 46.9%, Medium by 41.6%, High by 48.5%, and Ultra by 49.9%. This accelerated decline at 4K indicates that the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed beyond their comfortable operating range, with the 4K Ultra result being particularly poor at just 27.1 FPS.

The full dataset shows a clear pattern: the combo is well-suited for 1080p gaming at any settings, capable of 1440p gaming at Medium or High settings, but struggles at 4K regardless of settings. The 158.4 FPS at 1080p Low represents the only configuration that fully utilizes a 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitor, while the 4K Ultra result of 27.1 FPS is below the threshold for smooth gameplay.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset at 102.6 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and smoothness, as it clears the 60 FPS threshold with substantial headroom while providing better image quality than Medium's 123.6 FPS. Players with high-refresh-rate monitors could consider Medium at 123.6 FPS or even Low at 158.4 FPS for maximum responsiveness.

For 2560x1440 resolution, the High preset at 64.7 FPS is the recommended choice for a standard 60 Hz display, as it maintains playable frame rates while delivering strong visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 80.6 FPS offers additional headroom for those who prioritize smoother motion, while the Ultra preset at 54.1 FPS dips below 60 FPS and is not recommended for competitive play. The Low preset at 105.3 FPS is viable for players who prefer maximum frame rates over visual quality.

At 3840x2160 resolution, none of the settings achieve 60 FPS, so the recommendation must be adjusted based on tolerance for lower frame rates. The Low preset at 55.9 FPS is the only 4K configuration that approaches playability, making it the default choice for 4K users. The Medium preset at 47.1 FPS may be acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the High preset at 33.3 FPS and Ultra preset at 27.1 FPS are too choppy for most gaming scenarios.

Across all resolutions, the data suggests that the High preset provides the most consistent experience relative to visual quality. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 102.6 FPS; at 1440p High, it maintains 64.7 FPS; and even at 4K High, it produces 33.3 FPS. This consistency makes High the safest recommendation for users who want a uniform experience across different displays. For users who prioritize frame rate above all else, dropping to Medium or Low settings provides significant FPS gains, particularly at 1080p where the difference between High and Low is 55.8 FPS.
