Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination delivers a solid 1080p experience in Fivem, but its performance degrades rapidly at higher resolutions. The data shows that Medium settings at 1920x1080 provide the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, achieving 129.9 FPS, which is a 28% improvement over High settings while remaining comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. For 1440p, Low settings at 103.4 FPS is the most playable option, while 4K remains largely out of reach, with even Low settings only mustering 57.5 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured results clearly favor Medium as the optimal preset for this combo at 1080p. At 1920x1080, Medium yields 129.9 FPS, a substantial 28.2 FPS advantage over High (101.7 FPS) while still maintaining a smooth experience. Low settings jump to 160.2 FPS, but the visual trade-off is rarely worth an extra 30 FPS when Medium already exceeds the needs of most displays. Ultra settings drop to 77.6 FPS at 1080p, which is playable but represents a 40% performance penalty compared to Medium for marginal visual gains.

At 2560x1440, the picture changes. Medium produces 82.2 FPS, which is acceptable for many users, but Low at 103.4 FPS is the only preset that offers a significant headroom cushion. High at 65.9 FPS is borderline, while Ultra at 48.6 FPS falls below the ideal threshold. For 3840x2160, no preset delivers a consistently smooth experience: Low achieves 57.5 FPS, Medium 43.7 FPS, High 36.3 FPS, and Ultra 30.2 FPS. The recommendation is clear — stick to Medium at 1080p, drop to Low at 1440p, and avoid 4K unless the user accepts frame rates in the 30-57 FPS range.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the dominant component in this pairing for Fivem, particularly at lower resolutions. Its 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game's asset streaming at 1080p and 1440p. The GPU's boost clock reaches 2655 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz, and its 2048 shading units deliver a peak FP32 throughput of 21.75 TFLOPS. This hardware configuration explains the strong scaling from Low to Medium settings, where the GPU has ample headroom.

However, the RX 7600's memory capacity becomes a limiting factor at 4K. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB capacity are strained when rendering at 3840x2160, as evidenced by the steep drop from 103.4 FPS at 1440p Low to 57.5 FPS at 4K Low. The GPU's 64 ROPs and 128 TMUs, while adequate for 1080p, struggle to maintain fill rates at higher pixel counts. The data indicates that Fivem is heavily GPU-bound at all tested resolutions, with the RX 7600's performance ceiling being reached at 1440p Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination ranks 1263rd out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 30th percentile overall. This middling rank reflects the system's strong 1080p performance but its inability to handle higher resolutions competitively. The ranking is driven more by the GPU's limitations than the CPU, as the RX 7600 sits in the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, while the i5-11400F ranks in the 75th percentile among CPUs.

In the context of other tested combinations, this pairing is positioned below many 1440p-focused builds but above entry-level 1080p setups. The combo's rank suggests that while it delivers playable frame rates at 1080p across all settings, it cannot match the performance of systems with higher-tier GPUs at 1440p or 4K. The data shows that the RX 7600's nearest rivals — the RX 7600 XT, RX 460, RTX 3070 Mobile, and Arc B570 — all have similar average benchmark scores within a 1.5% range, meaning this GPU is at the edge of a performance tier rather than clearly above or below it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a clear progression: Low at 160.2 FPS, Medium at 129.9 FPS, High at 101.7 FPS, and Ultra at 77.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 82.6 FPS, representing a 52% performance drop from the lowest to highest settings. This indicates that Fivem's Ultra preset imposes a significant rendering load that the RX 7600 can only partially absorb.

At 2560x1440, the same settings pattern continues but with compressed numbers: Low at 103.4 FPS, Medium at 82.2 FPS, High at 65.9 FPS, and Ultra at 48.6 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 54.8 FPS, a smaller absolute difference than at 1080p, suggesting that resolution scaling begins to dominate over settings changes. High at 1440p (65.9 FPS) is nearly identical to Ultra at 1080p (77.6 FPS), showing how resolution and settings interact.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly low: Low at 57.5 FPS, Medium at 43.7 FPS, High at 36.3 FPS, and Ultra at 30.2 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is only 27.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are exhausted, making settings adjustments less impactful than at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reveals a steep performance cliff. Moving from 1920x1080 Low (160.2 FPS) to 2560x1440 Low (103.4 FPS) results in a 35.5% drop, which is roughly proportional to the 78% increase in pixel count. However, the scaling is not linear: from 1440p Low (103.4 FPS) to 4K Low (57.5 FPS), the frame rate drops another 44.4%, while pixel count increases by 125%. This super-linear degradation points to the RX 7600's memory bandwidth as the primary bottleneck.

The same pattern holds at Medium settings: 129.9 FPS at 1080p, 82.2 FPS at 1440p, and 43.7 FPS at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 36.7%, but the 1440p-to-4K drop is 46.8%. This increasing penalty per pixel suggests that the GPU's 288.0 GB/s bandwidth cannot sustain the data throughput required at 4K, and the 8 GB VRAM capacity likely forces texture swapping. The data indicates that resolution scaling is the dominant factor in this combo's performance, with the GPU being the limiting component at every step.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F provides six cores and twelve threads with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its 12 MB shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are adequate for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by Cinebench R23 at 2029 points, is strong for a 2021 processor, and this matters for Fivem, which relies heavily on game logic and network processing.

However, the benchmark data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 160.2 FPS, which is far below the CPU's theoretical ceiling. The CPU's multi-threaded score of 14372 in Cinebench R23 places it in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals — the Ryzen 7 5700U, Core i7-1260P, Core Ultra 7 164U, and Core i5-1240U — all have nearly identical average scores within a 0.2% margin. This means the i5-11400F is not a performance outlier in either direction.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and process player positions. With 12 threads available, the CPU has ample headroom even in busy multiplayer servers. The data confirms that frame rates scale almost entirely with resolution and settings, not with CPU load. The combo's 1263rd rank out of 1792 is therefore attributable to the GPU's performance ceiling, not any CPU deficiency.
