The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 354th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 10% of all configurations. This is a strong result for a six-core CPU from 2021 paired with a flagship GPU, though the ranking suggests that while the combo is highly capable, it is not at the very top of the leaderboard for this particular multiplayer title. The data reflects real measured performance, not synthetic projections, which makes the ranking a reliable indicator of what this pairing delivers in actual gameplay.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 354 out of 3707 tested combinations puts it firmly in the upper echelon of systems tested for Fivem. This is an impressive standing given that the CPU is an older, mid-range part while the GPU is a high-end offering. The percentile data for the individual components helps contextualize this: the RTX 4080 sits in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, while the i5-11400F sits in the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The fact that the combo ranks higher proportionally than the CPU's percentile suggests that in Fivem, the GPU is doing more of the heavy lifting, and the CPU is sufficient to keep up with it at most settings.

When looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the i5-11400F's average benchmark score of 17177 is nearly identical to the AMD EPYC 7H12 (17120, a 0.3% difference) and the Intel Core i5-12450H (17239, a -0.4% difference). This places the i5-11400F in a tight cluster of processors with similar overall compute capability. The GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209 versus the RTX 4080's 54247, a negligible 0.1% difference, meaning the two are essentially interchangeable in terms of raw performance. The data indicates that this combo is well-balanced for Fivem, with neither component being a clear bottleneck at the resolutions tested, though the scaling patterns reveal nuances worth examining.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. With a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz, the card is designed for high-frequency operation. Its 9728 shading units and 304 texture mapping units provide substantial compute throughput, with an FP32 rating of 48.74 TFLOPS. In Fivem, this translates to the ability to push very high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, as well as maintaining playable performance at 4K.

The GPU's 76 ray tracing cores and 304 tensor cores are present but not heavily leveraged in Fivem, which is primarily a rasterization-bound title. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for this game, even at 4K Ultra settings, where the data shows the GPU is still the primary driver of performance. The card's 280.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 761.5 GTexel/s texture rate are the key specifications for understanding its fill-rate capabilities in a game like Fivem, which relies heavily on texture streaming and draw calls in busy multiplayer environments.

The RTX 4080's performance in the measured FPS data shows it scaling well with resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 262 FPS, which is exceptionally high. The GPU's raw power ensures that even at 4K High, the system delivers 77 FPS, which is smooth for most players. The GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions and settings, where the data shows a clear drop in frame rates as the rendering load increases. The card's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it is a top-tier part, and in Fivem, it performs as expected, with no signs of VRAM limitation or clock throttling in the measured results.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Rocket Lake architecture, built on Intel's 14 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache. This is a capable mid-range CPU that, while not the newest, provides solid single-threaded performance, which is crucial for Fivem's often CPU-heavy multiplayer lobbies. The CPU's single-thread benchmark scores—868 in 3dmark_single_thread and 2024 in cinebench_r23_singlecore—indicate that it can handle the main game thread effectively.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p with lower settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 262 FPS, which is a very high number that is likely limited by the CPU's ability to feed the GPU. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate drops to 241 FPS, and at 1080p High, it drops to 210 FPS. This pattern shows that as the GPU load increases, the CPU is still able to keep up, but the relatively modest core count (6 cores) may limit the absolute maximum frame rate in less demanding scenarios. The CPU's multicore performance, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 14340, is sufficient for Fivem's background tasks, but it is not a top-tier part.

The CPU's 71st percentile ranking and its close rival scores (within 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U) suggest it is an average-to-good part for its generation. In Fivem, the data shows that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the FPS drops more significantly with resolution increases than with settings changes at 4K. However, at 1080p, the CPU's limits become more apparent, as the FPS does not scale linearly with GPU load. The 12 threads help with multitasking and background processes, but for pure gaming, the 4.40 GHz boost clock is the key specification driving performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo performs across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates. On Low settings, it averages 262 FPS, which is near the top of what any display can show. On Medium, the average drops to 241 FPS, with a minimum of 205 FPS and a maximum of 277 FPS, showing consistent performance. On High, the average is 210 FPS, and on Ultra, it drops to 163 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the player has massive headroom and can run the game at the highest settings while still exceeding 160 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling. Low settings produce an average of 219 FPS, which is still extremely high. Medium averages 173 FPS, with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. High settings average 138 FPS, and Ultra drops to 107 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot for this combo, as it delivers high frame rates across all settings, with even Ultra settings staying above the 100 FPS threshold that many competitive players prefer. The minimum FPS on Medium (147 FPS) suggests that the system rarely stutters, providing a smooth experience in busy multiplayer scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the performance is more demanding, but the combo still delivers playable results. Low settings average 122 FPS, which is excellent for 4K. Medium averages 96 FPS, with a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS, showing that the system can maintain near-100 FPS at medium settings. High settings drop to 77 FPS, and Ultra settings average 60 FPS, which is the baseline for smooth console-like performance. The data shows that at 4K, the GPU is the limiting factor, as the FPS drops significantly with each settings increase, whereas at 1080p, the CPU's influence is more noticeable.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about the system's balance. At 1080p High, the combo averages 210 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average drops to 138 FPS, a 34% decrease. Moving from 1440p High to 4K High, the average drops to 77 FPS, a 44% decrease. This pattern shows that the FPS drop accelerates as resolution increases, which is typical of GPU-bound scenarios. The GPU's workload grows quadratically with pixel count, and the data reflects this.

However, the scaling at Low settings tells a different story. At 1080p Low, the average is 262 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 219 FPS, a 16% decrease. At 4K Low, it drops to 122 FPS, a 44% decrease from 1440p. The smaller drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings (16%) compared to High settings (34%) suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is more of a limiting factor at 1080p. The system cannot fully utilize the GPU's power at 1080p Low because the CPU is holding it back, which is why the FPS does not increase as much as one might expect when lowering the resolution.

At 4K, the scaling is more consistent, indicating that the GPU is the clear bottleneck. The difference between 4K Low (122 FPS) and 4K High (77 FPS) is 45 FPS, while the difference between 1080p Low (262 FPS) and 1080p High (210 FPS) is 52 FPS. This shows that at 1080p, the settings have a similar impact as at 4K, but the absolute numbers are much higher. The data suggests that for players targeting 1080p or 1440p, the i5-11400F is adequate, but for those seeking the absolute maximum frame rates at 1080p, a stronger CPU would be needed to push beyond the 262 FPS ceiling observed at Low settings.
