Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB lands at rank 753 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 42% of all configurations. This is a solid mid-pack result, but the data reveals a setup that is heavily constrained by its CPU in lower resolutions and by its GPU at 4K. The combination demonstrates a clear performance ceiling that varies dramatically depending on the graphics preset selected, with the gap between Low and Ultra settings widening as resolution decreases.

How This Combo Ranks

At position 753 out of 1792 tested combinations, this pairing sits slightly above the median performance tier for Fivem. The ranking reflects a system that can deliver high refresh rates at 1080p but struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K Ultra. The CPU component, the Intel Core i5-10400F, holds a 73rd percentile ranking against all CPUs, indicating it is a reasonably capable processor. However, its nearest rivals in the benchmark database—the AMD EPYC 7552, AMD Ryzen 3 7320C, Intel Core i5-8500, and AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546—all show average scores within a narrow band of -1.2% to +0.4% of the i5-10400F, suggesting the CPU's compute potential is not the primary differentiator here.

The GPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, has a much lower percentile ranking at 17 against all GPUs, which is surprising given its performance class. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M and GT 650M, with delta percentages of 0% and 0.7% respectively, as well as the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB at +0.2% and the GTX 860M at -1.5%. This clustering of scores suggests that in the specific benchmark used, the 8 GB model performs nearly identically to its 16 GB sibling, but the low percentile indicates the GPU's raw benchmark score does not translate directly to the measured FPS in Fivem, where the game's engine and CPU interaction play a larger role.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data strongly indicates that the Ultra preset is not viable for competitive or smooth gameplay at any resolution. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 107 FPS, which drops to 68.6 FPS at 1440p and a stutter-prone 38.7 FPS at 4K. For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the High preset is the optimal choice. It delivers 139.5 FPS at 1080p, 92.8 FPS at 1440p, and 53.1 FPS at 4K, making it the only preset that maintains a consistent 60+ FPS experience across all tested resolutions.

The Medium preset offers a slight performance boost over High but with diminishing returns. At 1080p, Medium reaches 172.3 FPS versus High's 139.5 FPS, a 32.8 FPS improvement. However, at 4K, the difference narrows to just 9.5 FPS (62.6 vs 53.1). The Low preset is the clear outlier for maximum frame rates, hitting 216.8 FPS at 1080p, but it sacrifices too much visual fidelity for a game like Fivem where the multiplayer environment benefits from clearer rendering. The data suggests that High at 1440p is the sweet spot for most users, providing near-90 FPS with acceptable visual quality.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that becomes GPU-bound at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 216.8 FPS, which drops to 142.6 FPS at 1440p and 79.4 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34.2% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 44.3% drop to 4K. For the High preset, the scaling is more linear: 139.5 FPS at 1080p, 92.8 FPS at 1440p, and 53.1 FPS at 4K, with the 1440p to 4K drop being 39.7 FPS.

The pattern indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the RTX 4060 Ti has headroom to render more frames but is held back by the i5-10400F's six cores and twelve threads. As resolution increases to 4K, the GPU's workload multiplies, and the frame rates scale accordingly, with the 4K Ultra result of 38.7 FPS showing the GPU's memory bandwidth and 8 GB capacity being taxed. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth and 128-bit bus width become apparent bottlenecks at 4K Ultra, where the pixel rate of 121.7 GPixel/s is insufficient to maintain high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves 216.8 FPS, Medium reaches 172.3 FPS, High produces 139.5 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 107 FPS. The spread of 109.8 FPS between Low and Ultra indicates the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution, but the CPU's single-thread performance (688 in 3DMark single-thread, 1453 in Cinebench R23 single-core) limits the absolute ceiling.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates compress. Low yields 142.6 FPS, Medium drops to 115.8 FPS, High hits 92.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 68.6 FPS. The 1440p results show a more balanced workload between CPU and GPU, with the 74 FPS difference between Low and Ultra being less extreme than at 1080p. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. Low produces 79.4 FPS, Medium 62.6 FPS, High 53.1 FPS, and Ultra 38.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-40 FPS measurement in the entire dataset, highlighting the GPU's limitations at this extreme resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node from TSMC. Its base clock of 2310 MHz and boost clock of 2535 MHz, combined with 4352 shading units, provide the compute power for Fivem's rendering. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which becomes a critical factor at 4K Ultra where the 38.7 FPS result indicates memory bandwidth saturation.

The GPU's 22.06 TFLOPS FP32 performance is substantial, but Fivem's multiplayer nature means that many objects and player models are drawn simultaneously, taxing the GPU's 48 ROPs and 136 TMUs. The pixel rate of 121.7 GPixel/s and texture rate of 344.8 GTexel/s are adequate for 1080p and 1440p but insufficient for consistent 4K performance. The RTX 4060 Ti's 160 W TDP and suggested 450 W PSU indicate it is a power-efficient card, but the 8 GB memory capacity limits texture detail at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the 4K Ultra drop.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F provides six cores and twelve threads with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.30 GHz. This Comet Lake architecture processor, fabricated on Intel's 14 nm process, has a 12 MB shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU's benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10297 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 12115.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low where the 216.8 FPS result suggests the CPU is the primary bottleneck. The 3DMark single-thread score of 688 and PassMark single-thread score of 2541 indicate moderate per-core performance, which is crucial for a game that relies heavily on single-threaded game logic and physics calculations. The 2.90 GHz base clock, while modest, allows for sustained performance, but the 4.30 GHz boost clock is rarely sustained across all cores under load. The CPU's 73rd percentile ranking versus all CPUs supports its mid-range positioning, but in Fivem, the 12 MB L3 cache and 42.7 GB/s memory bandwidth are more critical than raw compute, as many players and entities require fast memory access.
