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

The Intel Core i5-11400F brings six physical cores and twelve threads to the table, operating with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Rocket Lake architecture chip, built on Intel's 14 nm process, features a 12 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The processor's benchmark profile suggests it is a competent mid-range performer, with a multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 14,340 and a single-core score of 2,024.

For Fivem, a multiplayer title built on a modified version of the GTA V engine, the CPU's single-thread performance often matters more than raw core counts. The 3DMark single-thread score of 868 and PassMark single-thread score of 2,981 indicate reasonable per-core capability. The processor sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17,177. Its nearest rivals in overall CPU performance include the AMD EPYC 7H12 (0.3% higher score), Intel Core i5-12450H (0.4% lower), AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (0.6% lower), and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (0.6% higher) — all statistically indistinguishable in raw compute power.

The 6-core/12-thread configuration appears sufficient for Fivem's demands, as the measured frame rates at 1080p with Low settings reach 200 FPS, suggesting the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions. However, the data implies that at Ultra settings and 4K resolution, where the average FPS drops to 36, the GPU becomes the limiting factor rather than the CPU. The processor's 65 W TDP and locked multiplier indicate this is a mainstream part designed for broad compatibility, which aligns with its performance positioning in this game.

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

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 32 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process with 28,100 million transistors. It offers a substantial 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's clock speeds include a base of 1900 MHz, a game clock of 2041 MHz, and a boost clock of 2459 MHz, with memory running at 2438 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective). The card features 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units, along with 40 ray tracing cores.

In terms of raw performance metrics, the RX 7700 achieves 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 compute and a PassMark G3D score of 20,974. The GPU's percentile ranking sits at 58 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15,852. Its nearest rivals show interesting comparisons: the AMD Radeon R9 370X is essentially tied (0.1% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 9060 is 1% higher, the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 is 1.1% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is 1.7% higher. This places the RX 7700 in a competitive middle tier of graphics cards.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is generous for Fivem, which is not typically a VRAM-intensive title. The measured FPS data shows the GPU's performance scaling: at 1080p Low, the system achieves 200 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it falls to 36 FPS. This steep decline across resolutions suggests that while the GPU has ample memory bandwidth, the raw compute throughput becomes strained at higher pixel counts and settings. The 2,560 shading units and 96 ROPs handle 1080p effortlessly but struggle to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maximum settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, all settings produce playable results, with Ultra at 98 FPS still exceeding 60 FPS. For the best balance of visual quality and performance at 1080p, High settings at 126 FPS provide a strong experience without sacrificing much visual fidelity compared to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the data suggests High settings at 83 FPS offer the best compromise. Ultra drops to 65 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for frame rate dips. Medium at 104 FPS provides better performance but with reduced visual quality. For 1440p gaming, High settings appear to be the sweet spot, delivering smooth frame rates while maintaining good graphical detail.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Only Low settings at 73 FPS and Medium at 58 FPS provide acceptable performance. High at 46 FPS and Ultra at 36 FPS are below the 60 FPS threshold and would result in noticeable stuttering. For 4K, Medium settings at 58 FPS offer the best playable experience, though users prioritizing smoothness over visual quality may prefer Low at 73 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the system's balance. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces average FPS from 200 to 132, a 34% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces it further to 73 FPS, another 45% reduction. The cumulative drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 64%.

At Ultra settings, the scaling shows a similar pattern but with lower absolute values. From 1080p (98 FPS) to 1440p (65 FPS) represents a 34% reduction, and from 1440p to 4K (36 FPS) is a 45% reduction. The total drop from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 63%, nearly identical to the Low settings scaling.

This consistent scaling pattern across settings strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases. The CPU's performance at 1080p Low (200 FPS) demonstrates it can feed frames well beyond what most displays can show, but the GPU's compute resources become saturated at higher pixel counts. The 4K results, particularly at Ultra settings (36 FPS), suggest that the RX 7700 lacks the raw throughput for demanding 4K gaming in Fivem, while the CPU continues to hold up its end of the bargain. The data implies that users with 1080p or 1440p displays will get the most out of this combination, while 4K users should stick to Medium settings or lower for acceptable performance.
