Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti pairing delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Fivem, with the gap between 1080p and 4K revealing a classic GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 178.7 FPS, which drops to 141.6 FPS at Medium and 110.7 FPS at High. The 4K results tell a different story: at Ultra settings, the average falls to 32.5 FPS, while High settings yield 40.7 FPS, and Low settings climb back to 63 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a 64.8% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GTX 1080 Ti's rendering throughput becomes the primary constraint as pixel count rises. At 1440p, the pattern continues with 116.2 FPS at Low, 92.7 FPS at Medium, and 72.7 FPS at High, before dropping to 57.9 FPS at Ultra. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU can feed the GPU adequately, but at 4K, the GPU's 11 GB of GDDR5X memory and 484.4 GB/s bandwidth are working near capacity, particularly at higher quality presets.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression across resolutions shows a predictable decline that intensifies with quality settings. From 1080p High to 1440p High, the average FPS drops from 110.7 to 72.7, a 34.3% decrease. Moving from 1440p High to 4K High, the average falls from 72.7 to 40.7, a 44% reduction. This steepening curve indicates that pixel count growth outpaces the GPU's ability to maintain throughput. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 86.8 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it manages only 32.5 FPS—a 62.6% loss. The Low preset tells a more favorable story: 178.7 FPS at 1080p, 116.2 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K, which means even at the highest resolution, the Low preset remains playable. The scaling pattern suggests that Fivem's workload scales heavily with resolution, and the GTX 1080 Ti's 352-bit memory bus and 139.2 GPixel/s pixel rate become bottlenecks. Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 30.5 FPS, while at 1080p the same comparison shows a 91.9 FPS difference—indicating that at lower resolutions, the CPU and GPU have headroom to exploit higher settings, whereas at 4K, the GPU is saturated regardless of quality preset.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing ranks 1066 out of 1792 combos for Fivem, placing it in the 59.5th percentile of all tested configurations. This mid-pack ranking reflects a balanced but aging setup: the GTX 1080 Ti sits at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, while the i5-11400F achieves the 75th percentile among all CPUs. The rank suggests that while neither component is top-tier, their combination produces respectable results in Fivem, which is known for its demanding multiplayer environments. The measured FPS data shows that the combo can exceed 100 FPS at 1080p on Medium settings and above, which aligns with a rank that places it ahead of roughly 40% of tested systems. However, the 4K Ultra result of 32.5 FPS indicates that this pairing is not suited for maximum fidelity at high resolutions, which is consistent with its position in the lower-middle range of the ranking distribution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the driving force behind this combo's Fivem performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 11 GB of GDDR5X memory on a 352-bit bus provides 484.4 GB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for handling the detailed textures and draw distances typical of Fivem's open-world multiplayer. The GPU's 3584 shading units and 88 ROPs enable it to process complex scenes, though its boost clock of 1582 MHz and base clock of 1481 MHz are modest by modern standards. Benchmark results show the GPU achieving a Passmark G3D score of 18600 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 83108, indicating solid DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance. The GPU's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 with a deltaPct of 0, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560X at -0.1%, showing that the 1080 Ti still holds its own against older flagship cards. In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes evident when comparing 4K Medium (54.2 FPS) to 4K High (40.7 FPS)—the 13.5 FPS gap demonstrates how the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are taxed by higher quality shadows and reflections. The 16 nm Pascal architecture, while outdated, still delivers 11.34 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is sufficient for Fivem's engine at 1080p and 1440p, but falls short at 4K Ultra where the 32.5 FPS result reflects the GPU's limits.

Q: What does the combo rank in Fivem indicate?

A: The combo ranks 1066 out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the 59.5th percentile. This indicates it outperforms roughly 40% of tested systems but falls short of top-tier configurations.

Q: Is the GPU or CPU more limiting in this pairing?

A: The CPU ranks at the 75th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks at the 61st percentile among all GPUs. The frame rate drops from 4K Low (63 FPS) to 4K Ultra (32.5 FPS) suggest the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Q: How does the i5-11400F's single-thread performance affect Fivem?

A: The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 2981 and Geekbench single-core score of 1979 indicate strong per-core performance, which benefits Fivem's multiplayer server communication and physics simulation, particularly at 1080p where the CPU can keep pace with the GPU.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F provides the processing foundation for this combo, with 6 cores and 12 threads running at a base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Rocket Lake architecture CPU, built on Intel's 14 nm process, delivers a Passmark multithread score of 16908 and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14372, placing it at the 75th percentile among all CPUs. The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with a 0% deltaPct and the Intel Core i7-1260P at -0.2%, showing that the i5-11400F competes well with newer mobile and low-power parts. In Fivem, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p, where the frame rate scales from 86.8 FPS at Ultra to 178.7 FPS at Low—a 91.9 FPS difference that suggests the CPU can deliver high frame rates when the GPU is not constrained. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s provide adequate bandwidth for the game's streaming assets. However, at 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes, as the frame rate difference between Low (63 FPS) and Ultra (32.5 FPS) is only 30.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 868 and Passmark single-thread score of 2981, is critical for Fivem's server-side processing and player interactions, which explains why the combo achieves 110.7 FPS at 1080p High—a result that benefits from the i5-11400F's strong single-core capabilities. The 65W TDP also suggests efficient operation, though the CPU's end-of-life status and PCIe Gen 4 support (20 lanes) mean it offers modern connectivity without the overhead of newer architectures.
