Fivem

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 occupies the 852nd position out of 1,792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it just below the midpoint of the database. This ranking reflects a balanced pairing where the 6-core Comet Lake processor and the Blackwell-based graphics card deliver consistent frame rates across the board, though neither component pushes the other into extreme territory. The data shows a system that is squarely aimed at smooth 1080p and 1440p play, with 4K remaining a challenge at higher graphical presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 852 out of 1,792 represents the 47.5th percentile of all tested pairings, indicating a slightly below-average standing in the overall competitive field. This position is largely dictated by the CPU’s modest multi-threaded throughput relative to modern rivals, as the RTX 5060’s raw graphics score is strong enough to carry the system in many scenarios. In Fivem’s multiplayer environments, where server-side scripting and numerous player models can tax the processor, the i5-10400F’s 12 threads provide adequate but not exceptional headroom.

Benchmark data for the CPU shows a PassMark multithread score of 12,115 and a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 10,297, placing it at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rivals in synthetic tests include the AMD EPYC 7552 (0.4% higher), AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (0.8% higher), Intel Core i5-8500 (1.1% higher), and AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546 (1.2% higher), confirming the i5-10400F sits in a tightly contested performance band. On the GPU side, the RTX 5060’s PassMark G3D score of 20,891 also lands at the 73rd percentile, with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT matching it exactly (0% delta) and the Radeon RX 570 trailing by just 0.2%.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060 brings 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Fivem’s texture-heavy cityscapes at 1080p and 1440p. The GPU’s base clock of 2280 MHz and boost clock of 2497 MHz, combined with 3,840 shading units and 120 tensor cores, allow it to maintain high frame rates even in crowded multiplayer sessions. The 19.18 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance is a strong figure, though the 48 ROPs can become a limiting factor at 4K resolution where pixel fill rate demands increase.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 30,109 places it in the same league as the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (30,097) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (29,928), showing the desktop RTX 5060 performs competitively within its class. In Fivem specifically, the measured FPS data reveals that the GPU’s capabilities are best utilized at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 201.1 FPS, which drops to 127.4 FPS at High and 95.4 FPS at Ultra, demonstrating that the graphics card can easily handle high refresh rate monitors at 1080p. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for the game’s asset streaming, though Ultra settings at 4K push the memory subsystem to its limits, resulting in just 37.2 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F provides 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, built on the Comet Lake architecture using Intel’s 14 nm process. The CPU’s 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 42.7 GB/s of bandwidth are typical for the 10th generation Core lineup. In Fivem, the CPU’s role is critical for handling the game’s simulation and networking logic, particularly in multiplayer lobbies where dozens of players interact simultaneously.

Synthetic benchmarks show the CPU achieves a Geekbench single-core score of 1,454 and a multi-core score of 5,783, with a PassMark single-thread result of 2,541. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 4,748 indicates moderate scaling beyond 8 threads, which is relevant for Fivem’s multi-threaded server communication. The CPU’s 73rd percentile ranking among all processors is respectable for a mid-range part, but the nearest rival data shows it is essentially equivalent to the Intel Core i5-8500 (1.1% lower) and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (0.8% higher). In practice, this means the i5-10400F does not bottleneck the RTX 5060 at 1080p in most scenarios, though at Ultra settings and 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo scales across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent performance: Low settings produce 201.1 FPS, Medium reaches 161.1 FPS, High achieves 127.4 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a playable 95.4 FPS. These figures indicate that 1080p Ultra is well within the system’s comfort zone, offering a smooth experience on standard 60 Hz displays and even entry-level high refresh rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but sees a noticeable drop. Low settings yield 131.8 FPS, Medium produces 102.7 FPS, High maintains 84.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 66.2 FPS. The data shows that 1440p High is the sweet spot for maintaining frame rates above 80 FPS, while Ultra still clears the 60 FPS threshold, making it viable for most gamers. At 3840x2160, the RTX 5060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus begin to show their limits. Low settings achieve 73.2 FPS, Medium drops to 55.9 FPS, High falls to 43 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 37.2 FPS, rendering 4K play impractical outside of Low settings.

The scaling pattern reveals that the GPU’s performance degrades by roughly 45-50% when moving from 1080p to 4K at the same settings, which is typical for a mid-range graphics card. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens at higher resolutions, with the 1080p Low-to-Ultra delta being 105.7 FPS, while the 4K delta is only 36 FPS, indicating that pixel fill rate becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K.
