Fivem

The Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 pairing delivers a performance profile that is heavily dictated by resolution and preset selection in Fivem. The data shows a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a 2.60 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock, which places it in the 71st percentile among all tested CPUs. In contrast, the RTX 5050, with its 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth, sits in the 66th percentile for GPUs. This combination yields a combo rank of 1813 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, indicating that while the hardware is competent, it does not lead the pack in this specific multiplayer title. The CPU's 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support are adequate for the game's demands, but the measurable FPS results reveal that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU holds its own at 1080p.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a Rocket Lake desktop processor built on Intel's 14 nm process, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock of 2.60 GHz can boost up to 4.40 GHz, and it carries a 65 W TDP. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14340 and a single-core score of 2024, with a Passmark single-thread score of 2981. These figures suggest a solid mid-range performer that can handle the multi-threaded workloads of modern games, including Fivem's server-side and client-side processing demands.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the 1080p results. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 168 FPS average, which drops to 106 FPS at High settings and 82 FPS at Ultra. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p—a difference of 86 FPS—indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough frames to reach high refresh rates, but the GPU's workload scaling with settings still dictates the final output. The processor's 3DMark scores, such as 5619 for 16 threads and 868 for single-thread, reinforce that it has sufficient headroom for Fivem's CPU-bound tasks, particularly in multiplayer scenarios where multiple entities and scripts are active.

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD EPYC 7H12 (0.3% faster), Intel Core i5-12450H (0.4% slower), AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (0.6% slower), and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (0.6% faster). These tight margins—all within 0.6%—show that the i5-11400F is competitively positioned among a wide range of processors, from server-class EPYC chips to mobile-oriented parts. For Fivem, this means the CPU's performance is not a limiting factor when paired with the RTX 5050, as the bottleneck shifts to the GPU at resolutions above 1080p.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU-limited performance as resolution increases. Starting at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 168 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low, the average drops to 110 FPS, a 34.5% reduction. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average falls to 61 FPS, which is a 63.7% drop from the 1080p result. This scaling is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the RTX 5050's 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus become strained by the higher pixel count.

For High settings, the progression is 106 FPS at 1080p, 70 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34.0% from 1080p to 1440p, and 44.3% from 1440p to 4K. Ultra settings show 82 FPS at 1080p, 54 FPS at 1440p, and 30 FPS at 4K, with drops of 34.1% and 44.4% respectively. The consistent reduction of roughly one-third when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and another 44% when moving to 4K, indicates that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The CPU's performance remains relatively constant across resolutions, as its workload does not scale with pixel count.

The Medium settings data provides additional context with min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 132 FPS with a min of 112 and max of 152, showing a 40 FPS variance. At 1440p Medium, the average is 87 FPS with min 74 and max 100, a 26 FPS variance. At 4K Medium, the average is 48 FPS with min 41 and max 56, a 15 FPS variance. The shrinking variance at higher resolutions further confirms the GPU is the primary constraint, as frame pacing becomes more stable when the GPU is saturated, whereas at 1080p the CPU's frame delivery creates more fluctuation.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the Fivem benchmark database, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 achieves a rank of 1813 out of 3005 tested combos. This places it in the 60.3rd percentile, meaning it outperforms roughly 60% of all tested CPU-GPU combinations in this game. However, it also means that about 40% of combos deliver better FPS, which is a significant portion of the database.

The rank reflects the hardware's overall capability in Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V, known for being demanding on both CPU and GPU due to the large number of players, vehicles, and custom scripts. The CPU's 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggest that the bottleneck is evenly distributed at the combo level, but the game's specific engine characteristics may favor certain architectures.

Compared to the CPU's nearest rivals, the performance deltas are minimal—within 0.6%. This indicates that swapping the i5-11400F for an AMD EPYC 7H12, Intel Core i5-12450H, AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, or Intel Core Ultra 7 164U would yield nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals—AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL, AMD Radeon HD 8970M, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, and NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile—are all within 1.6% of the RTX 5050's average score. This means the combo's rank is not driven by an exceptional component, but rather by the balanced, mid-range nature of both parts.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The dataset provides 12 measured FPS configurations, covering three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the performance spans from 168 FPS average on Low to 82 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting shows an average of 132 FPS with a min of 112 and max of 152, while High achieves 106 FPS average. This 1080p performance is strong, suggesting the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution, especially at Low or Medium settings.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 110 FPS for Low, 87 FPS for Medium (with min 74 and max 100), 70 FPS for High, and 54 FPS for Ultra. The Medium setting at 1440p is the only configuration with recorded min and max values, showing a 26 FPS spread. This resolution represents the sweet spot for the combo, where the RTX 5050 can still deliver playable frame rates on Medium to High settings without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results are more constrained. Low settings yield 61 FPS average, Medium produces 48 FPS (with min 41 and max 56), High drops to 39 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 30 FPS. Only the Medium setting at 4K has min and max data, showing a 15 FPS variance. The 4K results indicate that the combo is only suitable for 4K gaming at Low settings if a 60 FPS target is desired, and even then it barely reaches that threshold with an average of 61 FPS.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For 1080p gaming, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 132 FPS and a min of 112 FPS that ensures smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes. The High preset at 106 FPS average is also viable for those prioritizing visual fidelity, but the Ultra preset at 82 FPS may cause noticeable dips in busy multiplayer areas. The Low preset at 168 FPS is ideal for competitive play where maximum frame rates are desired, but it sacrifices visual detail.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, delivering 87 FPS average with a min of 74 FPS. This ensures a stable experience above 70 FPS, which is preferable for most players. The High preset at 70 FPS is acceptable, but the min FPS is not recorded, so there is a risk of drops below 60 FPS in heavy scenes. The Low preset at 110 FPS is excellent for performance, but the Ultra preset at 54 FPS is borderline, as it may dip below 50 FPS during intense moments.

For 4K gaming, the data suggests that only the Low preset at 61 FPS average is viable for a smooth experience. The Medium preset at 48 FPS with a min of 41 FPS will result in noticeable stuttering, and the High and Ultra presets at 39 and 30 FPS respectively are not recommended for playable frame rates. Players with 4K displays should either lower the resolution to 1440p or accept significant compromises in visual settings to maintain acceptable performance. The overall recommendation is to target 1080p Medium or 1440p Medium for the best combination of visual quality and frame rate stability, based on the measured data.
