Q: Is this combination a top-tier performer in the Fivem benchmark database?

A: The combo ranks 440th out of 1,792 tested combinations. This places it in the top 24.6% of all tested configurations for this game, indicating a strong but not elite standing within the database.

Q: What is the CPU's multi-threaded capability according to Cinebench R23?

A: The i5-11400F scores 14,372 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,029 points in single-core. For context, its Cinebench R20 scores are 6,036 (multi-core) and 852 (single-core).

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing for Fivem, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling across resolutions and settings. Its memory configuration is substantial: 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, delivering 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory subsystem is paired with a GA102 chip built on Samsung's 8 nm process, containing 28,300 million transistors on a 628 mm² die.

Clock speeds are a defining characteristic here. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1365 MHz and boosts to 1665 MHz. The memory clock runs at 1188 MHz, which translates to 19 Gbps effective. These clocks, combined with 10,240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, produce a pixel rate of 186.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 532.8 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput is 34.10 TFLOPS, with FP16 also at 34.10 TFLOPS (1:1).

The GPU's raw processing power directly explains the measured FPS deltas. At 3840x2160, the difference between Low (93.1 FPS) and Ultra (43.8 FPS) settings is a 49.3 FPS gap. This is a stark illustration of how the 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are engaged at higher settings, though Fivem's workload primarily stresses the traditional rasterization pipeline. The 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms that this is a high-end part, but its nearest rivals—all within 1.6% in average score—show it is not the absolute fastest.

The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface ensures adequate bandwidth to the CPU. With a 350 W TDP and a suggested 750 W PSU, the power delivery requirements are substantial. The dual-slot cooler and 285 mm length are typical for this performance class. The GPU's role in Fivem is clear: it is the primary driver of frame rate, especially at higher resolutions where the 12 GB frame buffer and 912.4 GB/s bandwidth prevent memory bottlenecks.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F provides the processing foundation for this combo, though its influence on Fivem's frame rates is secondary to the GPU. This is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Rocket Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 14 nm process. The base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz define its operating envelope, with a 65 W TDP indicating efficient power characteristics.

Cache hierarchy is modest but adequate: 80 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. These specifications produce benchmark scores that place the CPU at the 75th percentile of all processors.

Synthetic benchmarks reveal the CPU's dual nature. Single-threaded performance is strong, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 868 and a Geekbench single-core score of 1,979. Multi-threaded results are more modest: 3DMark max-threads scores 5,652, while Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 14,372. The PassMark multi-thread score of 16,908 and data compression score of 208,472 show solid throughput for everyday tasks.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is sufficient to avoid becoming a severe bottleneck at most settings, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz is critical for maintaining frame pacing in a multiplayer environment where many entities can be active simultaneously. However, the CPU's 75th percentile ranking, combined with its nearest rivals being mobile and low-power parts (Ryzen 7 5700U, Core i7-1260P, Core Ultra 7 164U, Core i5-1240U), shows it is not a top-tier desktop processor.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti achieves a rank of 440 out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. This places the configuration in the top quartile of the database, which is a strong result given the breadth of hardware tested.

The ranking reflects a system that is capable of high frame rates in most scenarios but not at the absolute pinnacle. The GPU's 83rd percentile standing is higher than the CPU's 75th percentile, suggesting that the processor is the limiting factor in this pairing. This is a common dynamic in gaming systems where the GPU is the more powerful component relative to its peers.

The rank of 440 means that roughly 1,350 other combinations outperform this one, likely featuring newer or higher-tier CPUs paired with similar or better GPUs. The gap between this combo and the top performers is not enormous, however. The RTX 3080 Ti's nearest rivals—the RTX 3090, Radeon Pro 5300, RTX 5070, and Tesla M40—are all within 1.6% in average GPU score. This indicates that the GPU is not the primary reason for the mid-tier ranking; rather, the CPU's position below top-tier desktop processors drags the overall combo ranking down.

For Fivem specifically, the combo's rank suggests that the game is sensitive to the CPU's single-thread performance and possibly its memory bandwidth. The i5-11400F's strong single-thread scores (868 in 3DMark single-thread, 2029 in Cinebench R23 single-core) help, but a higher-tier CPU would likely improve the ranking further.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. All measurements are average FPS, with no minimum or maximum values recorded.

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates exceptional performance. Low settings produce 260 FPS, which is the highest measured value across the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 208.2 FPS, High settings deliver 164.4 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 126.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 51.3% reduction in frame rate, which is a significant but manageable hit for a game like Fivem.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the expected decline. Low settings measure 169.5 FPS, Medium settings 134.6 FPS, High settings 109.3 FPS, and Ultra settings 85.7 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 83.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU is now being stressed more heavily. The jump from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings costs roughly 35-50% of the frame rate, depending on the settings level.

At 3840x2160, the combo begins to show its limits. Low settings still produce a playable 93.1 FPS, and Medium settings manage 75.4 FPS. High settings drop to 60.4 FPS, which is right at the edge of smooth gameplay. Ultra settings fall to 43.8 FPS, which may be below the threshold for competitive play. The reduction from Low to Ultra at 4K is 49.3 FPS, a percentage drop of 52.9% that mirrors the 1080p scaling pattern.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the RTX 3080 Ti handles Fivem with ease at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra is the only configuration that challenges the hardware. The High settings at 4K (60.4 FPS) and Ultra at 1440p (85.7 FPS) represent the practical boundaries for a smooth experience, depending on the user's frame rate preference.
