Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT delivers a robust Fivem experience, with performance scaling predictably across the four settings presets and three resolutions tested. The data set provides a clear picture of where this combination excels and where its limitations become apparent, particularly at the demanding 4K Ultra preset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows reveal that the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, High delivers 150.2 FPS, which is 34.4 FPS higher than Ultra’s 116 FPS while remaining visually superior to Medium’s 182.7 FPS. The trade-off is minimal: High sacrifices some visual fidelity compared to Ultra but gains a substantial 34.2 FPS advantage. At 2560x1440, High produces 96.9 FPS, a figure that remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while Ultra drops to 72.9 FPS. The pattern holds at 3840x2160, where High achieves 53 FPS versus Ultra’s 42.8 FPS.

For competitive or high-refresh-rate play, Low at 1080p is the standout option, producing 235.1 FPS. This allows full utilization of 240Hz displays and provides maximum headroom for Fivem’s multiplayer environments, where frame drops can occur during intense scenes with many players. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is substantial—52.4 FPS—suggesting that the Low preset removes significant rendering overhead. Conversely, Ultra should only be considered at 1080p, where 116 FPS remains playable, but at 1440p and 4K it becomes increasingly taxing, with 72.9 FPS and 42.8 FPS respectively. The data clearly indicates that High is the sweet spot for visual quality and performance, while Low serves specialized competitive needs.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is the dominant component in this pairing, and its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory is a defining characteristic. With a 256-bit bus width and 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth, the GPU has ample resources for Fivem’s asset streaming in multiplayer scenarios. The memory clock operates at 2438 MHz, effective 19.5 Gbps, which contributes to the high bandwidth figure. The GPU’s boost clock reaches 2430 MHz, with a game clock of 2124 MHz, providing the raw compute throughput needed for the frame rates observed.

The GPU’s 3840 shading units and 96 ROPs are directly responsible for the pixel throughput, rated at 233.3 GPixel/s. This explains why the RX 7800 XT maintains playable frame rates even at 4K High (53 FPS), where the pixel workload increases fourfold compared to 1080p. The 37.32 TFLOPS FP32 performance is a theoretical ceiling, but the measured results show the GPU scaling efficiently across settings. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 235.1 FPS, which is near the practical limit for many displays. However, the GPU’s percentile rank of 76 versus all GPUs indicates it sits above average, and its nearest rivals—the AMD FirePro S9300 X2 at 0.2% higher score and the NVIDIA T600 Mobile at 0.7% lower—show that this is a mid-to-high tier part. The 5 nm process node and 28,100 million transistors on the Navi 32 chip provide the efficiency needed for sustained performance in extended Fivem sessions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the GPU as the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. At High settings, the progression is 150.2 FPS (1080p) → 96.9 FPS (1440p) → 53 FPS (4K). This represents a 64.7 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p (a 43.1% reduction) and a further 43.9 FPS drop from 1440p to 4K (a 45.3% reduction). The scaling is not linear—the 4K resolution demands 2.25 times the pixels of 1440p, yet the FPS only drops by 45.3%, indicating that other bottlenecks are emerging.

At Low settings, the same pattern holds but with higher absolute numbers: 235.1 FPS → 153.4 FPS → 85.4 FPS. The 4K Low figure of 85.4 FPS is still smooth, showing that the GPU has enough headroom when settings are reduced. The Ultra preset tells a different story: 116 FPS at 1080p drops to 72.9 FPS at 1440p and collapses to 42.8 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the RX 7800 XT is overextended by the combination of maximal settings and high pixel count. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU begins to play a more significant role, as the FPS differences between settings (235.1 Low vs 116 Ultra) indicate the GPU is not fully saturated at Low. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, with all settings showing significant degradation from their 1080p counterparts.

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. Its 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide adequate feeding for the RX 7800 XT. The CPU’s percentile rank of 75 versus all CPUs shows it is above average, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, scores identically (0% deltaPct). The Intel Core i7-1260P scores 0.2% lower, indicating the 11400F is well-positioned in its segment.

The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14372 and single-core score of 2029 suggest moderate processing power. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer game with many dynamic elements, the CPU’s 12 threads are likely engaged during scenes with numerous players. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5619 and max-thread score of 5652 show near-linear scaling from 8 threads (4691), indicating the CPU can utilize its full thread count effectively. However, the single-thread score of 868 in 3DMark is relatively low, which could be a constraint at very high frame rates.

The data suggests the CPU becomes a bottleneck at 1080p Low, where 235.1 FPS exceeds what the GPU can process without CPU assistance. At 1080p Ultra (116 FPS), the CPU has more headroom, and the GPU becomes the primary limiter. The 65W TDP and Rocket Lake architecture on the 14 nm process node mean the CPU runs efficiently, but its end-of-life production status suggests newer alternatives exist. The Passmark multithread score of 16908 and single-thread score of 2981 place it in a solid mid-range category, adequate for Fivem but not a top-tier performer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the settings ladder shows a clear hierarchy: Low produces 235.1 FPS, Medium 182.7 FPS, High 150.2 FPS, and Ultra 116 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 52.4 FPS, while Medium to High costs 32.5 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 34.2 FPS. The scaling is consistent, with each preset tier reducing frame rate by roughly 20-30%.

At 2560x1440, the numbers are 153.4 FPS (Low), 121.9 FPS (Medium), 96.9 FPS (High), and 72.9 FPS (Ultra). The drop from 1080p is significant: Low loses 81.7 FPS (34.8%), Medium loses 60.8 FPS (33.3%), High loses 53.3 FPS (35.5%), and Ultra loses 43.1 FPS (37.2%). The percentage losses are similar across settings, indicating resolution scaling is uniform.

At 3840x2160, the results are 85.4 FPS (Low), 65.8 FPS (Medium), 53 FPS (High), and 42.8 FPS (Ultra). Compared to 1440p, the drops are 68 FPS (44.3%) for Low, 56.1 FPS (46%) for Medium, 43.9 FPS (45.3%) for High, and 30.1 FPS (41.3%) for Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-60 FPS figure in the entire dataset, highlighting the extreme demands of that configuration. The data shows that 4K Medium (65.8 FPS) is the minimum viable 4K experience, while 4K High (53 FPS) may be acceptable for less demanding players.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT ranks 661st out of 1792 combos in Fivem, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all tested configurations. This ranking is respectable but not exceptional, considering the GPU’s individual percentile of 76 and CPU’s percentile of 75. The gap between component percentiles and combo rank suggests that Fivem’s multiplayer nature may penalize the 6-core CPU in certain scenarios, or that other combos with similar components achieve better optimization.

The combo’s position in the upper third of all tested systems means it outperforms more than 1,100 other configurations. However, the rank of 661 implies that 660 combos deliver better Fivem performance, likely including systems with faster CPUs or more powerful GPUs. The data indicates this combo is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K performance being acceptable but not class-leading. The measured FPS figures support this: 1080p High at 150.2 FPS and 1440p High at 96.9 FPS are strong results, but 4K Ultra at 42.8 FPS is a clear weakness. The combo’s rank suggests it is a capable mid-range performer, suitable for most Fivem players but not a top-tier enthusiast configuration.
