Fivem

The benchmark data for Fivem, captured with an Intel Core i5-10400F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, indicates a system capable of high refresh rates at most settings, with clear performance scaling tied to resolution and preset. This analysis interprets the measured frame rates and hardware characteristics.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy of performance across presets and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the differences between presets are significant but the system remains highly capable across the board. The Low preset yields an average of 221.7 FPS, while the Medium preset reaches 206.4 FPS. The High preset drops to 174.6 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a respectable 136.7 FPS. For competitive play at this resolution, the Medium preset offers the best balance, providing a frame rate that is 31.8 FPS higher than High while remaining well above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds. The Low preset achieves 185.5 FPS, Medium produces 148.1 FPS, and High delivers 117.8 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 87.4 FPS. The data suggests that High is the optimal choice here for a visually rich experience, as it maintains a frame rate above 100 FPS while the step down to Medium only yields a 30.3 FPS increase. The performance gap between Medium and High is less pronounced than the gap between High and Ultra, which shows a 30.4 FPS drop.

The 3840x2160 results are more demanding. The Low preset averages 101.7 FPS, which is the only preset at this resolution to break the 100 FPS barrier. Medium trails at 78.7 FPS, and High drops to 65.4 FPS. Ultra falls to 48.2 FPS. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point, as it provides a playable frame rate while offering a substantial visual upgrade over Low. The High preset is still viable for those prioritizing image quality, but the 13.3 FPS penalty compared to Medium is notable.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the primary driver of frame rates in this configuration, and its memory subsystem plays a critical role in Fivem's performance. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This substantial bandwidth is a key factor in the smooth performance observed at higher resolutions, where large textures and draw distances place heavy demands on memory throughput.

The GPU's clock speeds are also relevant. The base clock is 2325 MHz, with a boost clock of 2512 MHz. The data shows that the performance scaling from 1080p to 1440p is not linear, with average FPS decreasing by roughly 20-30% across presets, which is consistent with a GPU that is being stressed by increased pixel count. The transition to 4K shows a more dramatic drop, particularly at Ultra where the frame rate halves compared to 1440p Ultra. This indicates that the GPU's compute resources are the limiting factor at the highest settings, rather than a bottleneck in the CPU.

The RTX 5070's benchmark scores corroborate its position. Its Passmark G3D score of 29137 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5077 are strong, but its average benchmark score of 41687 places it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which has an average score of 41441, a delta of 0.6%. This suggests the 5070 is a capable high-end card, though its performance in Fivem at 4K Ultra is limited to 48.2 FPS, indicating that even this hardware cannot fully saturate high refresh rate 4K displays at maximum settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate achievable with this hardware?

A: The highest measured average frame rate is 221.7 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with the Low settings preset.

Q: How much of a performance drop occurs when moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings?

A: The average frame rate drops from 117.8 FPS at 2560x1440 to 65.4 FPS at 3840x2160, a decrease of 52.4 FPS.

Q: Is the RTX 5070's performance closer to the RTX 3090 or the Tesla M40?

A: Based on average benchmark scores, the RTX 5070 (41687) is nearly identical to the RTX 3090 (41441), with a delta of 0.6%. It is slightly further from the Tesla M40, which has a delta of -0.5%.

Q: What is the performance difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 1080p?

A: The Low preset averages 221.7 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages 136.7 FPS. The difference is 85.0 FPS, meaning the Low preset is approximately 62% faster.

Q: Does the CPU's single-thread performance align with its overall ranking?

A: The CPU's percentile vs all CPUs is 73, which is respectable. Its 3DMark single-thread score is 688, which is significantly lower than its 16-thread score of 4748, indicating a stronger multi-threaded showing.

Q: At which resolution and preset does the system fail to maintain 60 FPS?

A: The only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS is 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset, which averages 48.2 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-10400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination holds a rank of 417 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the top 23% of all tested configurations, indicating a strong pairing for this game. The rank reflects the high frame rates achieved, particularly at 1080p and 1440p, where the system excels.

The ranking is a composite measure of the measured FPS data. The system's ability to exceed 200 FPS at 1080p Low and maintain over 100 FPS at 1440p High contributes significantly to its position. The weaker performance at 4K Ultra, where it falls to 48.2 FPS, prevents a higher rank, as the system is not uniformly excellent across all settings.

The CPU's benchmark data supports this ranking. The Core i5-10400F has a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10297 and a single-core score of 1453. Its average benchmark score of 14168 is nearly identical to that of the AMD EPYC 7552, which has a delta of 0.4%. This indicates that the CPU is a solid mid-range performer, providing enough processing power to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 5070 in most scenarios. The rank of 417 suggests that while other combinations with more powerful CPUs or GPUs may achieve higher frame rates, this pairing is well-balanced for Fivem.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Comet Lake architecture, built on a 14 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification platform, the CPU's role is crucial for handling game logic, physics, and the numerous scripts and entities present in populated servers.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are strong relative to its single-thread performance. Its 3DMark 16-thread score is 4748, while its single-thread score is 688. This suggests that the processor can effectively distribute workloads across its 12 threads, which is beneficial for the multi-player server environment where many concurrent tasks are processed. The Passmark multi-thread score of 12115 further confirms its ability to handle parallel workloads.

However, the single-thread performance is also important. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1453 is modest, and this can be a limiting factor in scenarios where game logic is not well-parallelized. The data shows that at 1080p with the Low preset, the system achieves 221.7 FPS, which is a very high frame rate. If the CPU were a significant bottleneck, we would expect to see frame rates plateau across different presets at this resolution. The fact that frame rates scale down from 221.7 FPS to 136.7 FPS as settings increase indicates that the GPU is the primary performance driver even at 1080p.

The CPU's memory support is limited to DDR4 with a dual-channel bus, providing a bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. This is an older standard compared to newer platforms, but it is sufficient for the Core i5-10400F's performance class. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache is also a relevant factor, as it helps reduce latency for frequently accessed data. The CPU's 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is a better-than-average processor, and its performance is sufficient to complement the high-end RTX 5070 in this game, as evidenced by the high frame rates and strong overall combo rank.
