The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 delivers a mid-range experience in Fivem, a multiplayer title that stresses both CPU and GPU depending on the scenario. The combo ranks 1469 out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the lower third of the database, yet the measured FPS data reveals a system capable of playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with careful settings selection. The 6-core, 12-thread Rocket Lake processor runs at a 2.60 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.40 GHz, while the RDNA 2.0 GPU operates with a 1626 MHz base and 2491 MHz boost clock, creating a balanced pairing where neither component is overwhelmingly dominant.

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

The Core i5-11400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads to Fivem, a configuration that handles the game’s multi-threaded server-side processing and world simulation demands. With a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, the processor demonstrates strong single-thread performance, scoring 868 in 3dmark_single_thread and 2029 in cinebench_r23_singlecore. These figures matter for Fivem because the game’s physics and network code often rely on fewer, faster cores. The CPU’s 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for a multiplayer environment with many entities.

The processor’s multithreaded capability is substantial: cinebench_r23_multicore reaches 14372 points, and passmark_multithread scores 16908. These numbers suggest the i5-11400F can handle the background tasks Fivem generates, such as player position updates and vehicle state synchronization.

A: The measured data shows 96.8 FPS on Low versus 44.6 FPS on Ultra at 2560x1440, a drop of 52.2 FPS. This represents a 53.9% reduction in frame rate when moving from the lowest to highest settings, highlighting the GPU’s diminishing returns at higher quality presets.

Q: How does the combo rank overall in the database?

A: The combo sits at rank 1469 out of 1792 tested combinations. With 323 combos performing worse, this system is in the lower 18% of the database, meaning many other pairings deliver superior Fivem performance, but it still offers playable frame rates at lower settings.

Q: Is the GPU’s VRAM sufficient for Fivem?

A: The RX 6600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. In Fivem, this proves adequate at 1080p, where even Ultra settings maintain 73.4 FPS, but at 4K Ultra the 24.1 FPS result suggests VRAM capacity or bandwidth becomes a limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 144.8 FPS; moving to 1440p Low drops this to 96.8 FPS (a 33.1% reduction), and at 4K Low it falls to 52.1 FPS (a 64.0% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases. The RX 6600’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory interface struggle to maintain bandwidth at higher resolutions, particularly when texture quality increases.

The scaling is even more pronounced at Ultra settings. From 73.4 FPS at 1080p, performance drops to 44.6 FPS at 1440p (39.2% reduction) and 24.1 FPS at 4K (67.2% reduction). This nonlinear scaling suggests that beyond raw pixel throughput, the GPU’s compute resources—1792 shading units and 64 ROPs—are saturated by the increased workload. Conversely, the CPU’s role diminishes at higher resolutions; the i5-11400F’s consistent single-thread scores (868 in 3dmark_single_thread) mean it can sustain frame delivery, but the GPU cannot keep pace.

At 1080p, the system shows a more balanced profile. The 144.8 FPS on Low indicates the CPU is feeding frames effectively, while the 73.4 FPS on Ultra demonstrates the GPU’s limits under load. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 71.4 FPS, whereas at 4K the delta narrows to 28.0 FPS (52.1 versus 24.1), confirming that the GPU becomes the sole limiting factor as resolution climbs.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo rank of 1469 out of 1792 places this system in the bottom 18% of all tested configurations for Fivem. This ranking reflects the combined performance of the i5-11400F and RX 6600, and it suggests that many other CPU-GPU pairings achieve higher frame rates in this game. The CPU’s percentile of 75 versus the GPU’s percentile of 69 indicates both components are mid-pack performers, but their combination does not synergize exceptionally well in Fivem’s specific workload.

The rank implies that roughly 323 combos perform worse, which includes older or lower-end hardware. However, the sheer number of better-performing combos (1468) signals that Fivem favors systems with stronger multi-core CPUs or higher-bandwidth GPUs. The i5-11400F’s 6-core/12-thread design, while competent, is outpaced by newer processors with more cores or higher clock speeds. Similarly, the RX 6600’s 8 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate but not exceptional for a game that can be demanding at high resolutions.

Looking at the GPU’s nearest rivals, the RX 6600’s average benchmark score of 25235 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon 890M (25246, 0% delta) and the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (25287, -0.2% delta). This tight grouping suggests the RX 6600 delivers expected performance for its class, yet in Fivem, the combo rank indicates that the pairing’s overall result is below average, likely due to the CPU’s limitations in certain multiplayer scenarios.

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

The AMD Radeon RX 6600, built on the Navi 23 chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture, provides 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1626 MHz and boosts to 2491 MHz, with a game clock of 2044 MHz. These specifications translate to 8.928 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is substantial for 1080p gaming but becomes strained at higher resolutions.

In Fivem, the GPU’s memory subsystem plays a critical role. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p Ultra (73.4 FPS) but shows limitations at 4K, where Ultra drops to 24.1 FPS. The 128-bit bus and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth limit texture streaming and high-resolution asset loading, which is why the scaling from 1440p to 4K is so severe. The GPU’s 28 ray tracing cores are present but less relevant in Fivem, which does not heavily utilize ray-traced effects.

The RX 6600’s 1792 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the game’s draw calls and post-processing effects, but at 4K, the pixel fill rate of 159.4 GPixel/s becomes a bottleneck. The GPU’s performance percentile of 69 places it above the median, yet in Fivem’s measured results, the 4K figures (24.1 to 52.1 FPS depending on settings) show that it is not designed for ultra-high-resolution multiplayer gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce 144.8 FPS, Medium reaches 113.3 FPS, High achieves 90.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 73.4 FPS. These numbers span a wide range, indicating that the GPU has headroom at lower settings but is taxed by Ultra’s additional graphical features.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance decreases across the board. Low settings hit 96.8 FPS, Medium falls to 74.1 FPS, High manages 62.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 44.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 52.2 FPS, showing that the GPU’s resources are increasingly strained as quality rises.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles. Low settings produce 52.1 FPS, Medium drops to 44.2 FPS, High falls to 32.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 24.1 FPS. The 4K results reveal that even Low settings cannot maintain a smooth 60 FPS, making this resolution impractical for competitive multiplayer play. The progression from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra represents a 120.7 FPS drop, underscoring the GPU’s limitations at high pixel counts.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For a balance of visual quality and frame rate, Medium settings at 1920x1080 offer the best measured experience. The 113.3 FPS average provides smooth gameplay while retaining more visual fidelity than Low’s 144.8 FPS. At 1440p, Medium’s 74.1 FPS is adequate for most players, though those prioritizing frame rate may prefer Low’s 96.8 FPS. High settings at 1080p yield 90.1 FPS, which is still playable, but the jump to Ultra (73.4 FPS) introduces diminishing returns for the performance cost.

At 4K, no preset achieves a playable frame rate above 60 FPS; Low’s 52.1 FPS is the only option approaching smoothness, and it sacrifices significant visual detail. For players with 4K displays, the data suggests dropping to 1440p or 1080p for a better experience. The Ultra preset at any resolution delivers the lowest frame rates, and given that the difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is only 16.7 FPS, High provides a better performance-to-quality trade-off. In summary, Medium at 1080p or Low at 1440p offers the most consistent gameplay, while Ultra should be reserved for non-competitive or single-player scenarios where frame rate is less critical.
