This suggests the game can utilize multiple cores, but the 1080p Low result of 224 FPS indicates the CPU handles high frame rates effectively.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a chip containing 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, paired with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory configuration is substantial for a multiplayer title like Fivem, where open-world streaming and player density can place heavy demands on VRAM capacity and bandwidth.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes evident when examining the scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p High settings, the combo achieves 183 FPS, but at 4K High settings, that figure drops to 67 FPS—a 63% reduction. This steep decline indicates that at higher resolutions, the rendering load shifts decisively onto the GPU. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are present but appear less relevant for this game, as Fivem does not heavily leverage ray tracing or AI-accelerated features in the measured settings.

The GPU's 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs support a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s. These figures help explain why the card can push 224 FPS at 1080p Low settings, where pixel throughput is less constrained. The frame rate at 4K Medium (84 FPS) versus 4K High (67 FPS) shows a 25% performance gap, confirming that texture and shading work are significant cost drivers at higher resolutions. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS provides ample compute for the game's simulation and rendering tasks, though the CPU interaction becomes a factor at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of resolution-dependent scaling. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p drops the average from 224 FPS to 191 FPS—a 15% loss—and then to 106 FPS at 4K, which represents a 53% loss from 1440p. This curve steepens at higher settings. For High settings, the drop from 1080p (183 FPS) to 1440p (120 FPS) is 34%, and then to 4K (67 FPS) is another 44% reduction.

The scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p, the Intel Core i5-10400F is a limiting factor. With a boost clock of 4.30 GHz and 6 cores / 12 threads, the CPU can feed frames up to the 224 FPS ceiling seen at Low settings. However, at 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 54 FPS (106 vs 52), while the same settings comparison at 1080p yields an 82 FPS gap (224 vs 142). This narrowing delta at 4K indicates that the GPU's render workload dominates, and CPU headroom matters less.

The Medium settings data provides the only min/max FPS measurements across all resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 175-236 FPS (a 61 FPS spread), at 1440p it is 128-173 FPS (a 45 FPS spread), and at 4K it is 71-96 FPS (a 25 FPS spread). The shrinking variance at higher resolutions further confirms that GPU-bound scenarios produce more stable frame delivery, whereas CPU-bound scenarios at lower resolutions exhibit larger fluctuations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 224 FPS, Medium achieves 205 FPS with a measured range of 175 to 236 FPS, High reaches 183 FPS, and Ultra drops to 142 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 22 FPS (11%), while the step from High to Ultra costs 41 FPS (22%), indicating that Ultra settings impose a disproportionately heavy load.

At 2560x1440, the performance hierarchy remains consistent but compressed. Low settings yield 191 FPS, Medium delivers 151 FPS with a range of 128 to 173 FPS, High achieves 120 FPS, and Ultra drops to 93 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 98 FPS, which is narrower than the 82 FPS difference seen at 1080p. This suggests that at 1440p, the GPU is beginning to take on more of the workload, reducing the CPU's influence on the upper-end frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates fall into a playable-but-not-maxed range. Low settings produce 106 FPS, Medium achieves 84 FPS with a range of 71 to 96 FPS, High drops to 67 FPS, and Ultra yields 52 FPS. The transition from Medium to High costs 17 FPS (20%), while High to Ultra costs 15 FPS (22%). The min FPS of 71 at 4K Medium indicates that even the lower end of frame delivery stays above 60 FPS, making this a viable configuration for smooth gameplay.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the most balanced performance. It maintains a 60+ FPS floor at 4K (71 FPS minimum) and delivers high refresh rates at 1440p (128 FPS minimum) and 1080p (175 FPS minimum). The data supports Medium as the sweet spot for this combo, providing 84 FPS at 4K, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 205 FPS at 1080p.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Comet Lake architecture, fabricated on Intel's 14 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 2.90 GHz with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, and its 12 MB of shared L3 cache is distributed across the cores. The CPU's memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 42.7 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for feeding the RTX 4070 SUPER's frame buffer.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU shows a clear multi-threaded capability. Its 3DMark max-thread score is 4,735, while the 2-thread score is 1,350, indicating that scaling from 2 to 12 threads yields a 3.5x improvement. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10,283 versus a single-core score of 1,451 shows a 7.1x scaling factor, which is typical for a 6-core part with Hyper-Threading. The PassMark multithread score of 12,115 and single-thread score of 2,541 further corroborate this balanced profile.

For Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low settings, where the combo reaches 224 FPS. This is near the practical limit for many multiplayer titles, where server-side simulation and player position updates can become a bottleneck. The CPU's 3DMark 8-thread score of 3,929 is 83% of its max-thread score, suggesting that the game leverages up to 8 threads effectively. However, the 2-thread score of 1,350 indicates that single-threaded performance (688 in 3DMark single-thread) is sufficient for the game's core logic.

The CPU's 68th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it above average but not elite. Its nearest rivals include server-class chips like the Xeon 6756E and EPYC 7552, which score similarly in aggregate. This indicates that the i5-10400F is not the primary constraint at higher resolutions; the data shows that at 4K, the frame rate drops are driven by GPU load rather than CPU limitations. At 1080p, however, the CPU's 4.30 GHz boost clock and 12 threads are necessary to sustain the high frame rates seen at Low and Medium settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to Medium settings as the optimal preset for this combo across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 FPS, which is well above any refresh rate target and provides a 22 FPS improvement over High. The only settings tier that beats Medium is Low at 224 FPS, but the 19 FPS gain over Medium is modest compared to the visual quality loss.

At 1440p, Medium achieves 151 FPS with a minimum of 128 FPS, making it the only preset that comfortably exceeds 120 FPS for high-refresh monitors. High drops to 120 FPS (equal to a 120 Hz display's max), but with no min FPS data, the Medium option provides a safer margin with its documented 128 FPS floor. Ultra at 93 FPS is playable but does not take advantage of higher refresh rates.

At 4K, Medium is the only preset that guarantees a 60+ FPS minimum (71 FPS) while averaging 84 FPS. High averages 67 FPS but lacks min/max data, making it riskier for consistent frame delivery. Ultra at 52 FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold, which can cause noticeable stutter in a multiplayer environment. Low at 106 FPS is smooth but sacrifices visual fidelity significantly.

For players prioritizing frame rate stability, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation. It offers the best combination of average FPS, documented minimum FPS, and visual quality. The 4K Medium result of 84 FPS with a 71 FPS floor ensures that even in crowded multiplayer scenarios, the combo maintains playable performance. At 1440p, Medium's 151 FPS average and 128 FPS minimum make it suitable for 144 Hz displays, while at 1080p, the 205 FPS average exceeds even 200 Hz monitor capabilities. The Ultra preset should be avoided at 4K, as the 52 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.
