Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a playable Fivem experience that scales predictably with resolution and settings. At 1080p, the combo is capable of high frame rates, but the data shows a significant performance cliff as resolution increases, particularly under heavier graphical presets. This pairing sits in the 72nd percentile of all tested combinations in this game, indicating a solid mid-range standing. The following breakdown examines how each component influences the results and what settings provide the best balance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: Fivem becomes progressively more demanding as resolution increases, and the RTX 2060 SUPER struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 157.8 FPS, which drops to 122.9 FPS at Medium, 100.3 FPS at High, and 79.7 FPS at Ultra. This shows a 49.5% reduction from Low to Ultra at 1080p, indicating that graphical settings have a major impact even at the lowest resolution.

Moving to 1440p, the average FPS figures are 105.8 (Low), 84.0 (Medium), 64.4 (High), and 49.3 (Ultra). The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 33%, while the Ultra preset falls from 79.7 to 49.3 FPS, a 38% reduction. This trend accelerates at 4K, where the combo manages only 59.4 FPS on Low, 49.1 FPS on Medium, 33.9 FPS on High, and 27.5 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra figure is 82.6% lower than the 1080p Low result, demonstrating that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

Benchmark results indicate that the limiting component shifts depending on the resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU, allowing frame rates to scale with settings. At 4K, however, the pixel throughput demands of the RTX 2060 SUPER’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to keep up, causing average FPS to fall below 60 on every preset except Low. The data suggests that 1440p is the practical ceiling for smooth gameplay, with High settings delivering 64.4 FPS, while 4K is only viable on Low settings if a 60 FPS target is not required.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Rocket Lake architecture, built on a 14 nm process. Its base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz provide a solid foundation for Fivem, which is a multiplayer title that often benefits from higher single-thread performance. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 868 in 3dmark_single_thread and 2029 in cinebench_r23_singlecore, placing it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. These scores suggest that the processor can handle the game’s simulation and physics tasks without becoming a limiting factor at lower resolutions.

The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities are also relevant, as Fivem servers can have many players and entities. The processor achieves 5652 in 3dmark_max_threads and 14372 in cinebench_r23_multicore, which are strong results for a 6-core part. When compared to its nearest rivals, the i5-11400F is effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (0% delta) and the Intel Core i7-1260P (-0.2% delta), indicating that its overall benchmark average of 17181 is competitive with newer mobile chips. This means the CPU is unlikely to be the primary bottleneck in Fivem, even at 1080p where frame rates are highest.

The data shows that the CPU’s role is more pronounced at 1080p, where the 157.8 FPS Low setting result suggests the processor can deliver high frame rates when the GPU is not under heavy load. However, the boost clock of 4.40 GHz is essential for maintaining consistent performance in crowded multiplayer scenarios, as lower clocks could lead to frame drops. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache also helps with game data access, though the exact impact is not directly measurable from the provided FPS data.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU with 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Its boost clock of 1650 MHz and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provide a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores offer hardware support for ray tracing and DLSS, though these features are not directly reflected in the measured Fivem results. The GPU scores 16462 in passmark_g3d and 19774 in its average benchmark score, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs.

In Fivem, the GPU’s performance is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 27.5 FPS is a clear indication that the GPU is overwhelmed by the pixel count and graphical effects. The 8 GB VRAM is likely a limitation at 4K Ultra, as the game’s textures and draw distances can exceed this capacity, leading to memory swapping and reduced frame rates. At 1080p, however, the GPU is more than capable, with the 79.7 FPS Ultra result being playable and the Low preset hitting 157.8 FPS.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 2060 SUPER is only 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN and 0.5% behind the RTX 2070. This indicates that the GPU’s performance is well understood and consistent with its tier. The 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 224.4 GTexel/s texture rate are adequate for Fivem’s engine, but the data shows that the GPU becomes the limiting component at 1440p Ultra and above. The suggested PSU of 450 W and dual-slot design are typical for this class, but the 175 W TDP means the card needs adequate cooling to maintain boost clocks.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1298 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 72nd percentile of all combinations, meaning it outperforms roughly 72% of the tested systems. The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU’s strong single-thread performance and the GPU’s mid-range capabilities, which are well-matched for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The combo’s rank is driven by its measured FPS across all resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the average FPS across all settings is 115.2, which is competitive for the hardware. At 1440p, the average drops to 75.9, and at 4K it falls to 42.5. These averages explain why the combo is not in the top tier, as systems with more powerful GPUs would achieve significantly higher frame rates at 4K. However, the rank also shows that the combo is not a poor performer, as it sits comfortably above the median.

The deltaPct values in the nearestRivals for the CPU and GPU show that both components are closely matched with their competitors. The CPU’s 0% delta versus the Ryzen 7 5700U and the GPU’s 0.3% delta versus the GTX TITAN indicate that swapping either component for a direct rival would not meaningfully change the Fivem results. This suggests that the combo’s rank is stable and not an outlier, making it a predictable choice for this game.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data suggests prioritizing 1080p or 1440p over 4K. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 100.3 FPS, which is smooth and visually detailed, while Ultra drops to 79.7 FPS — still playable but with a 20.6% performance penalty. The Medium preset at 1080p offers 122.9 FPS, which is a good choice for competitive play where higher frame rates are preferred over visual fidelity.

At 1440p, the High preset provides 64.4 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset achieves 84.0 FPS, offering a better margin for frame drops in busy multiplayer scenes. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 49.3 FPS, which may be acceptable for slower-paced gameplay but is not ideal for action-heavy moments.

For 4K, the only playable option is Low settings at 59.4 FPS, which sacrifices visual quality for playability. The Medium preset at 49.1 FPS is borderline, while High and Ultra are not recommended due to sub-40 FPS averages. Overall, the data indicates that the best experience is at 1440p with Medium or High settings, as this balances visual quality with frame rate stability. The Ultra preset at 1080p is also a viable option for those who prioritize image quality over maximum frame rates.
