Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination delivers a strong 1440p experience in Fivem, with 1080p performance that easily exceeds high-refresh-rate thresholds. The data shows this pairing is well-balanced, though the scaling patterns reveal a system that transitions from CPU-bound at lower resolutions to firmly GPU-bound at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable and steep decline as resolution increases, which is characteristic of a system where the GPU becomes the primary constraint at higher pixel counts. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 197.8 FPS, which drops to 130.9 FPS at 1440p and further to 74.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 62% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, a substantial hit that points directly at the graphics card as the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern changes character when examining higher quality presets. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 99.4 FPS at 1080p to 64.9 FPS at 1440p, then plummets to 33.5 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K at Ultra is particularly severe, representing a 48% loss. This steep decline indicates that the RX 6750 XT's 12 GB of VRAM and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated by the combination of high resolution and maximum image quality.

At Medium settings, the progression from 155.6 FPS at 1080p to 103.2 FPS at 1440p and 57 FPS at 4K shows a more linear decline. The 4K Medium result of 57 FPS is playable, but it is clear that 1080p and 1440p are the sweet spots for this configuration. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is more involved in determining performance, as evidenced by the relatively smaller frame rate gaps between settings at that resolution compared to 4K, where the GPU dominates the performance envelope.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture and features a base clock of 2150 MHz with a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The game clock is rated at 2495 MHz, and benchmark results confirm the card performs near the top of its class, sitting at the 79th percentile versus all GPUs. Its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical asset for Fivem at higher resolutions.

The GPU's synthetic benchmark scores reinforce its positioning. It achieves a Passmark G3D score of 20700 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 107621. These numbers place it in direct competition with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, which has an average score of 35787, a mere 1.3% higher than the RX 6750 XT's 35327 average. This rivalry is evident in the gaming results, where the card handles 1440p High at 84.4 FPS, demonstrating that it has ample headroom for demanding multiplayer titles.

However, the 4K Ultra result of 33.5 FPS reveals the card's limitations. The FP32 compute throughput of 13.31 TFLOPS and the 64 ROPs are simply not enough to maintain smooth frame rates at maximum settings in 4K. The card is clearly optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where its 2560 shading units can be fully utilized. The 4K Low result of 74.9 FPS shows that even at lower settings, the GPU is the bottleneck, as reducing graphical load cannot compensate for the sheer pixel count.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 892nd out of 1792 tested combinations for Fivem. This places it in the middle of the pack, which is slightly surprising given the individual component strengths. The CPU sits at the 75th percentile versus all CPUs, and the GPU at the 79th percentile, yet their combined performance in this specific game does not break into the top half of all combos.

This ranking suggests that Fivem's multiplayer nature introduces variables beyond raw hardware capability. The game's performance is influenced by server-side factors and the actions of other players, which can create CPU bottlenecks that are not reflected in synthetic benchmarks. The i5-11400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14372, which is solid but not exceptional. Its nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U and Intel Core i7-1260P, all within 0.2% of each other's scores, indicating that the CPU is performing exactly as expected.

The mid-pack ranking is not a condemnation of the hardware. The measured FPS data shows this combo delivers excellent playable performance at 1080p and 1440p across all settings. The ranking indicates that other combinations in the database are better optimized for this specific title, but the actual gaming experience remains strong. For a multiplayer game like Fivem, consistency and frame pacing are often more important than peak frame rates, and the data shows no significant anomalies in this pairing.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing high refresh rates at 1080p, the Low preset delivers 197.8 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play. However, the Medium preset at 155.6 FPS offers a far better visual experience while still exceeding 144Hz refresh rates. The High preset at 124.7 FPS remains excellent for 1080p and is the recommended choice for most users who have a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor, as it balances visual fidelity with smoothness.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is the clear winner, producing 103.2 FPS. This provides a buttery-smooth experience on 100Hz displays. The High preset at 84.4 FPS is also very playable and recommended for those with G-Sync or FreeSync monitors, as it offers better image quality with only a modest frame rate reduction. The Ultra preset at 64.9 FPS is acceptable but not optimal for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

For 4K, the Low preset at 74.9 FPS is the only truly playable option for action-heavy gameplay. The Medium preset at 57 FPS is tolerable for slower exploration but will feel less responsive in combat. The High preset at 45.7 FPS is only suitable for cinematic viewing, and Ultra at 33.5 FPS is not recommended for actual gameplay. The 1440p Medium setting is the overall best experience, offering 103.2 FPS with good visual quality.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has 12 MB of shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 14372 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2029 in single-core, placing it at the 75th percentile of all CPUs.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the frame rate differences between settings at 1080p. The gap between Low (197.8 FPS) and Ultra (99.4 FPS) is substantial, but the CPU's 6 cores are sufficient to feed the GPU at this resolution. The Passmark multithread score of 16908 and the 3DMark max threads score of 5652 indicate the processor can handle multiple simultaneous tasks, which is crucial for multiplayer games where physics, AI, and network code run concurrently.

The CPU's influence wanes at higher resolutions. At 4K, the frame rates are nearly identical across the settings spectrum when viewed as a percentage of the GPU's maximum output. The 4K Low to Ultra range of 74.9 to 33.5 FPS is dictated almost entirely by GPU rendering load. The CPU's 12 threads and 4.40 GHz boost clock prevent it from becoming a bottleneck in most scenarios, but the mid-pack combo ranking of 892 out of 1792 suggests that a stronger CPU could extract more performance in this specific game. The 3DMark single-thread score of 868 shows adequate per-core performance, but Fivem's server-side dependencies mean that a higher-thread-count processor might yield better frame consistency in crowded areas.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete dataset for this combination shows consistent performance across all tested configurations. At 1080p, the frame rates are high across the board: Low delivers 197.8 FPS, Medium 155.6 FPS, High 124.7 FPS, and Ultra 99.4 FPS. These numbers indicate that the system is capable of driving high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p, with even the Ultra preset exceeding 90 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the results remain strong but show a clear step down. Low produces 130.9 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium achieves 103.2 FPS, providing a smooth experience for most users. High yields 84.4 FPS, which is playable but begins to show the GPU's workload. Ultra drops to 64.9 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal for fast-paced action.

At 4K, the performance takes a significant hit, highlighting the GPU's limitations at this resolution. Low settings produce 74.9 FPS, which is the only preset that maintains a playable frame rate. Medium drops to 57 FPS, which is borderline. High falls to 45.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 33.5 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a 62% performance loss, while the same comparison for Ultra shows a 66% loss, confirming that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining 4K performance. The 1440p High result of 84.4 FPS is the best balance of visual quality and frame rate across all tested configurations.
