Fivem

Fivem’s multiplayer framework can stress hardware in unusual ways, and this pairing of an Intel Core i5-11400F with an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX produces a distinctive performance profile. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, but which begins to show CPU limitations only when the graphics load is reduced to its absolute minimum.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep and predictable scaling curve as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 261.5 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that figure to 196.6 FPS, a 24.8% reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 108.1 FPS. This progression indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component across all tested resolutions, as the RX 7900 XTX is forced to render an increasing number of pixels.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at High settings is less severe: 189.0 FPS down to 124.7 FPS, a 34% reduction. The jump to 4K High results in 72.2 FPS, which is a 61.8% drop from the 1440p result. This pattern suggests that while the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, the performance penalty for moving to 4K is substantial even for a high-end card. The frame rate at 4K Ultra, at 54.7 FPS, is the lowest in the entire dataset, showing that the most demanding settings at the highest resolution can push this hardware to the edge of playability.

Interestingly, the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the spread is from 261.5 FPS (Low) to 149.5 FPS (Ultra), a difference of 112 FPS. At 4K, the same settings spread is from 108.1 FPS to 54.7 FPS, a difference of only 53.4 FPS. This compression of the settings range at 4K indicates that the GPU is so heavily loaded that the relative cost of each graphics feature becomes proportionally smaller, whereas at 1080p the CPU has more headroom to feed the GPU, making the settings impact more pronounced.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture and features 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a major factor in the card's ability to handle 4K resolutions, as the data shows a playable 72.2 FPS average at 4K High. The card's boost clock of 2498 MHz and game clock of 2365 MHz help sustain these frame rates, particularly in a game like Fivem that can have complex scenes with many entities.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 85th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 44019. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which scores 44900, a 2% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 43667, a 0.8% delta. These comparisons show that the RX 7900 XTX is positioned at the top tier of desktop graphics cards, though it is not the absolute fastest.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's role becomes more critical as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the card delivers 54.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many players target. The fact that the card can reach 108.1 FPS at 4K Low suggests that users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity can still achieve high performance at 4K. The 24 GB frame buffer is more than sufficient for this game's assets, and the data does not indicate any memory-related stuttering or performance cliffs.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Rocket Lake architecture, built on a 14 nm process. It has 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 are modest by modern standards, but the benchmark results show it is a capable mid-range CPU. Its average benchmark score is 17181, placing it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with an average score of 17189 (a 0% delta) and the Intel Core i7-1260P at 17212 (a -0.2% delta). These scores indicate that the i5-11400F is a solid performer, but it is clearly not a top-tier processor. In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most visible at 1080p with Low settings, where the average FPS of 261.5 represents a peak that is likely constrained by the CPU's ability to process game logic and draw calls.

The data shows that at 1080p, the frame rate scales significantly with settings, from 261.5 FPS at Low to 149.5 FPS at Ultra. This 75% reduction in performance as settings increase suggests that at this resolution, the CPU has enough headroom to let the GPU work harder, but the game engine's single-threaded nature or the CPU's 6-core limit may be a factor in the absolute ceiling. At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's role diminishes, as the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz is likely the key driver for Fivem's often CPU-bound multiplayer scenarios, but the data shows that in this combo, the GPU dominates the performance equation at all but the lowest resolution and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 261.5 FPS on Low, 239.4 FPS on Medium, 189.0 FPS on High, and 149.5 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a smooth degradation as settings increase, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High, a 21.1% reduction.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 196.6 FPS on Low, 154.1 FPS on Medium, 124.7 FPS on High, and exactly 100.0 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results show a more linear scaling pattern compared to 1080p, with each settings tier costing roughly 30-40 FPS. The 100 FPS average at 1440p Ultra is a strong result for a high-refresh-rate monitor.

At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 108.1 FPS on Low, 86.7 FPS on Medium, 72.2 FPS on High, and 54.7 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results highlight the GPU's limits, as even Low settings cannot maintain the frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 53.4 FPS, which is the smallest absolute spread across all resolutions, confirming that the GPU is saturated at this resolution. The 54.7 FPS at 4K Ultra is the only sub-60 FPS result in the entire dataset, indicating that users targeting 4K Ultra will need to accept a compromise on refresh rate or settings.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX ranks 285th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 16% of all configurations. This ranking is notable because it places the combo in the upper tier of performance, but not at the very top, despite the GPU being in the 85th percentile. The CPU, while in the 75th percentile, is likely the limiting factor for the combo's overall rank.

The rank of 285 out of 1792 means that there are 284 other combinations that achieve higher average FPS in this game. Given that the RX 7900 XTX is a top-tier GPU, the i5-11400F's 6-core, 12-thread configuration may prevent the combo from reaching the absolute top of the rankings. The data suggests that a more powerful CPU would likely push this combo higher, but the current ranking still represents a strong performance level for most users.

In the context of the benchmark database, this combo sits in the upper quartile of all tested systems for Fivem. The GPU's high percentile ranking (85th) is offset by the CPU's lower percentile (75th), resulting in a combined rank that is better than the CPU's percentile but worse than the GPU's. This indicates that the GPU is doing the heavy lifting in this pairing, and that the CPU is adequate but not exceptional for Fivem's demands. The measured FPS data supports this, showing that the combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU can flex its muscles, but begins to struggle only at 4K Ultra, where the overall system limits become apparent.
