Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers its most comfortable performance at 1080p in Fivem, but the data shows a steep and consistent decline as resolution climbs, revealing a GPU-bound scenario at higher settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS rows show a clear pattern: this combo is far more capable at 1920x1080 than at 3840x2160. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 175 FPS average. Moving to 1440p drops that to 115 FPS, and at 4K it falls further to 64 FPS. That is a 63% reduction from 1080p Low to 4K Low, indicating that even at the lowest graphical preset, resolution scaling exacts a heavy toll. The data suggests the RX 9060's rendering pipeline is the limiting factor once pixel count rises, rather than the CPU holding things back.

The gap between resolution steps widens dramatically at higher presets. At High settings, 1080p yields 111 FPS, 1440p yields 73 FPS, and 4K yields 40 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 45%. This accelerating decline points to the GPU's 8 GB memory buffer and 128-bit bus becoming saturated as resolution increases. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1080p but appears strained at 4K, where the average FPS falls below 60 on every preset tested.

Ultra settings make the situation more pronounced. At 1080p Ultra, the combo manages 86 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, that drops to 56 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it bottoms out at 31 FPS. The deltaPct between 1440p and 4K Ultra is 45%, mirroring the High preset scaling. This consistency across presets reinforces that resolution, not settings complexity, is the primary driver of performance loss. The minimum FPS recorded in the Medium preset at 4K is 43, which means even the most conservative playable settings at that resolution can dip below what many users consider smooth.

The scaling behavior suggests that for this game, the RX 9060's compute resources—1792 shading units and 64 ROPs—are adequate for 1080p but insufficient for 4K at playable framerates. The 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is a theoretical ceiling that the memory subsystem cannot feed at high resolutions. Users targeting 60 FPS average should look to 1440p as the realistic maximum, where even Ultra settings hit 56 FPS, just shy of that mark.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F provides a solid foundation that does not appear to bottleneck the RX 9060 in Fivem at lower resolutions. With 6 cores and 12 threads, the CPU has enough parallelism for a multiplayer game that must handle network synchronization alongside rendering. The 3dmark multi-threaded scores—5652 at max threads and 5619 at 16 threads—show near-linear scaling, indicating the processor is not oversubscribed by the game's workload.

At 1080p Low, the system reaches 175 FPS, which is high enough that the CPU's single-thread performance becomes relevant. The 3dmark single-thread score of 868 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2024 are moderate for a Rocket Lake chip, but they are sufficient to keep the GPU fed at this resolution. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz helps in scenarios where Fivem relies on a primary thread for game logic, while the 12 MB shared L3 cache reduces latency for frequently accessed data.

The 2.60 GHz base clock is low, but the processor's ability to boost to 4.40 GHz under load means sustained performance is not compromised in typical gaming sessions. The 65 W TDP suggests thermal headroom is limited, but the data does not indicate throttling, as the CPU's benchmark scores are consistent with its specifications. The PassMark single-thread score of 2981 places it above many older desktop chips, ensuring that Fivem's CPU-bound sections, such as dense player areas, do not drag framerates down disproportionately.

Comparing to rivals, the i5-11400F sits within 0.6% of the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U and within 0.3% of the AMD EPYC 7H12 in average benchmark score. This means the CPU's compute capacity is on par with those parts, even though they come from different market segments. For Fivem, the CPU's role is to maintain a stable frame delivery, and the measured FPS at 1080p suggests it does so effectively. The 1440p and 4K results show a GPU limitation, not a CPU one, as the framerate drops are proportional to pixel count rather than to CPU-bound scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i5-11400F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 ranks 1714 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. That places it in the 57th percentile, meaning it outperforms a slight majority of other pairings tested in this game. The rank reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is severely mismatched, but the GPU's 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs drags the overall position down from what a stronger card might achieve.

The GPU's nearest rivals provide context: the RX 9060 is within 0.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, within 1% of the AMD Radeon R9 370X, and within 1% of the AMD Radeon RX 7700. This suggests the RX 9060's raw benchmark performance is comparable to those cards, but in Fivem specifically, the measured FPS indicates the game favors the RX 9060's architecture. The CPU's nearest rivals—the AMD EPYC 7H12, Intel Core i5-12450H, AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U—all score within 0.6% of the i5-11400F, meaning CPU choice among these is unlikely to be the deciding factor in Fivem performance.

The combo rank of 1714 out of 3005 is not exceptional, but it is respectable for a mid-range pairing. The data shows that in Fivem, this combo can achieve 60+ FPS average at 1440p High and 1080p Ultra, which covers most competitive play. The rank would be higher if the GPU had more memory bandwidth or VRAM, as the 4K results demonstrate, but at mainstream resolutions, the pairing is competent. Users with this combo should not expect top-tier performance at 4K, but they can expect a playable experience at 1440p and below.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the primary driver of FPS differences in Fivem, as evidenced by the resolution scaling data. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, the card provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K results—where average FPS drops below 65 on every preset—show that the memory subsystem is the limiting factor. The 4K Medium preset records a minimum FPS of 43, indicating that even moderate settings at that resolution can cause stutter.

The GPU's clocks are aggressive: a base of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost of 2990 MHz. These high frequencies help the 1792 shading units deliver 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is why 1080p results are strong. However, the 64 ROPs and 112 TMUs are modest for a card aiming at 4K, and the pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s is insufficient to maintain high framerates at 3840x2160. The texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s also becomes a bottleneck when resolution increases, as more texture lookups are required per frame.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 59 among all GPUs places it in the upper half, but its nearest rivals—the RTX 3060 Ti, R9 370X, RX 7700, and Pro W5500—all have similar average scores. This means the RX 9060 is not a standout performer but is competent for its class. In Fivem specifically, the measured FPS at 1440p High (73 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (86 FPS) demonstrates that the card handles the game's demands well at mainstream resolutions. The 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3322 and the PassMark G3D score of 17631 confirm that the card's raw compute is adequate, but the memory bandwidth limits its 4K potential.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear hierarchy for optimal settings. For users prioritizing 60+ FPS average, the 1920x1080 Ultra preset delivers 86 FPS, making it the highest quality option that exceeds this threshold. At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 73 FPS, which is also above 60 FPS and offers a significant resolution upgrade over 1080p. The 1440p Medium preset yields 91 FPS, providing extra headroom for competitive play, while the 1440p Low preset reaches 115 FPS for maximum responsiveness.

For users with 4K displays, the data suggests avoiding Ultra and High presets, as they produce 31 FPS and 40 FPS respectively. The Medium preset at 4K averages 50 FPS, but the minimum FPS of 43 makes it risky for fast-paced multiplayer. The Low preset at 4K averages 64 FPS, which is the only 4K option that maintains a playable average, though it sacrifices visual fidelity significantly.

The best balance of visual quality and performance appears to be 1440p High, as it provides 73 FPS average while retaining more graphical detail than Medium or Low. For users with 1080p panels, Ultra settings are recommended, as the 86 FPS average leaves ample room for framerate fluctuations in busy areas. The data shows no scenario where Medium or Low settings at 1080p are necessary, as even Ultra exceeds 60 FPS. At 1440p, High is the sweet spot, while at 4K, only Low is viable for consistent gameplay.
