Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination delivers a strictly entry-level experience in Fivem, a game known for its heavy multiplayer CPU demands. The data places this pairing at rank 3529 out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 5% of all systems. This is not a competitive pairing for high-refresh-rate play, but the benchmark results show a predictable scaling pattern that reveals a system limited primarily by its graphics card at higher resolutions and by its processor in specific low-settings scenarios.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Rocket Lake architecture, built on Intel's 14 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor has 12 MB of shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a theoretical bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a multi-threaded score of 14340 in Cinebench R23 and 6022 in Cinebench R20, with single-core results of 2024 and 850 respectively.

The CPU's performance percentile stands at 71, meaning it outperforms 71% of all tested processors. Its average benchmark score of 17177 places it within a very tight cluster of rivals: it is 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7H12, 0.4% behind the Intel Core i5-12450H, 0.6% behind the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, and 0.6% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U. This indicates the i5-11400F delivers mid-pack processing power that is neither a bottleneck nor a strength in most scenarios.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining the frame rate deltas at 1080p. At Low settings, the system produces 77 FPS, but this drops to 48 FPS at High settings. The 29 FPS gap between Low and High at 1080p is substantial, yet it mirrors the scaling seen at higher resolutions, suggesting the GPU is the primary driver of these changes. However, the CPU's 12 threads are relevant because Fivem's multiplayer servers often spawn numerous entities and scripts, which can create CPU-bound scenarios. The data does not isolate CPU usage, but the 3DMark 16-thread score of 5619 and max-thread score of 5652 show the processor has limited headroom for heavy multi-threaded workloads — a factor that could cap performance in crowded server areas, even if the measured FPS rows do not explicitly show this.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is a GCN 4.0 architecture GPU with 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. It runs at a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz, with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s place it as a capable 1080p-class card from its era.

The GPU's benchmark percentile is 74, with an average score of 28766. Its nearest rivals show a tight grouping: the AMD Radeon RX 6800M is 0.4% ahead, the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is 0.7% behind, the AMD Radeon RX 470 is 0.8% ahead, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 is 1.2% behind. This tells us the RX 570 performs almost identically to those parts in aggregate, which is relevant because Fivem's rendering load is not exceptionally heavy by modern standards.

In Fivem, the GPU's 4 GB VRAM is a notable constraint. At 4K Ultra settings, the system averages 14 FPS, which is critically lowasiatic. The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows the GPU struggling to maintain playable frame rates as texture and shading demands increase. The 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p but becomes a limiting factor at 1440p and 4K, where the fill rate and memory pressure increase exponentially. The data confirms the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at resolutions above 1080p, as frame rates fall by half or more when moving from 1440p to 4K.

FAQ

Q: What is the best average frame rate this combo achieves in Fivem?

A: The highest measured average FPS is 77, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This is the only setting combination that approaches smooth gameplay for fast-paced multiplayer action.

Q: How does this combo compare to other tested systems in Fivem?

A: The combo ranks 3529 out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it in the 5th percentile. This means approximately 95% of all tested systems deliver higher frame rates in this game.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the primary bottleneck at 1080p?

A: At 1080p Low, the system hits 77 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra it drops to 38 FPS. The 39 FPS swing from settings changes at the same resolution strongly indicates the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU would not see such a dramatic performance shift from graphics settings alone.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Fivem?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 28 at Low settings to 14 at Ultra settings. Even at Low, the 28 FPS result is below the threshold for comfortable play, and the Ultra setting produces a slideshow-like experience.

Q: What is the frame time consistency like at 1080p Medium?

A: The 1080p Medium setting shows an average of 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 70. The 19 FPS spread between min and max indicates moderate frame pacing variability, which could be noticeable in busy multiplayer scenes.

Q: How does the GPU's synthetic benchmark score relate to its Fivem performance?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score of 28766 places it near the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (0.4% difference) and AMD Radeon RX 470 (0.8% difference). In Fivem, the GPU produces 48 FPS at 1080p High, which is consistent with these mid-range scores, but the 4 GB VRAM cap limits higher settings at 1440p and above.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-11400F + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 3529 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 5% of all systems tested. This rank reflects the pairing's inability to maintain high frame rates at any resolution above 1080p Low. The rank is a consequence of the GPU's age and limited VRAM rather than the CPU, which holds a 71st percentile ranking among all processors.

The CPU's average score of 17177 is within 0.6% of its nearest rivals, showing it is a balanced mid-range part. The GPU's average score of 28766 is similarly competitive with its nearest rivals. Yet, when combined, the system produces an average of 38 FPS at 1080p Ultra, which is the highest setting tested. This result indicates that the GPU's 4 GB memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for Fivem's higher presets, dragging the overall combo rank down. For context, the CPU alone would not be the primary reason for this low rank; a more capable GPU with this processor would likely rank significantly higher.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear GPU-bound system. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 77 at 1920x1080 to 50 at 2560x1440 and 28 at 3840x2160. This represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the averages are 48, 32, and 18 FPS for the same resolutions, showing a 33% drop and then a 44% drop respectively.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings, with the 4K results being approximately half of the 1440p results. This proportionality is the hallmark of a GPU-limited scenario, where the rendering resolution directly impacts the fill rate and memory bandwidth demands. The CPU's performance does not change with resolution, so if the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates at 1080p and 4K would be similar. Instead, the data shows a monotonic decrease in FPS as resolution increases, confirming the RX 570 is the limiting component.

The 4K Ultra result of 14 FPS is particularly telling. This is 8 FPS lower than the 4K Medium result of 22 FPS, and 14 FPS lower than the 4K Low result of 28 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 14 FPS, which is a 50% reduction. This steep drop indicates that the GPU's 4 GB VRAM is exhausted at Ultra settings, forcing the system to rely on slower memory paging, which collapses the frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system produces 77 FPS at Low, 60 FPS at Medium, 48 FPS at High, and 38 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting shows a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 70 FPS, which is the only 1080p row with min/max data. The 60 FPS average at Medium is the only playable result at 1080p above Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the averages fall to 50 FPS at Low, 40 FPS at Medium, 32 FPS at High, and 25 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting again shows the only min/max data, with a minimum of 34 FPS and maximum of 46 FPS. None of these results meet the 60 FPS target, and only the Low setting approaches playability for casual play.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly low: 28 FPS at Low, 22 FPS at Medium, 18 FPS at High, and 14 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting shows a minimum of 19 FPS and maximum of 25 FPS. These frame rates are below the thresholds for smooth gameplay, and even the Low setting at 28 FPS would feel stuttery in a multiplayer environment.

The cumulative data shows a system that can achieve 60 FPS only at 1080p Medium, with the min FPS of 51 ensuring that most of the session stays above 50 FPS. At 1440p, the best case is 50 FPS at Low, which is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay but not for competitive multiplayer. At 4K, no setting produces a playable frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal experience for this combo is 1920x1080 with Medium settings, which delivers an average of 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS. This is the only configuration that hits the 60 FPS average threshold, and the min FPS of 51 indicates that the frame rate rarely dips below playable levels. The 70 FPS maximum shows there is some headroom in less demanding scenes.

For users who prioritize smoothness over visual fidelity, 1920x1080 Low achieves 77 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. This setting is recommended for competitive multiplayer where reaction time matters more than graphics quality. The 77 FPS average suggests the system can handle Fivem's CPU-heavy server interactions without dropping below 60 FPS in most situations.

At 1440p, the Low preset at 50 FPS is the only viable option, but it falls short of the 60 FPS target. Users with 1440p monitors should consider lowering to 1080p to gain a 27 FPS improvement (from 50 to 77 FPS at Low settings). The 4K resolution is not recommended at any setting, as the highest average of 28 FPS at Low is below the minimum standard for interactive gameplay.

The Medium preset at 1080p represents the best balance between visual quality and performance, as it provides a 60 FPS average with a 19 FPS min-max spread. The High and Ultra presets at 1080p (48 and 38 FPS respectively) do not offer enough visual improvement to justify the frame rate penalty. The data clearly indicates that this combo's sweet spot is 1080p Medium, with 1080p Low as a fallback for higher refresh rate displays.
