Fivem

This combo pairs the six-core Intel Core i5-11400F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, placing it in the 403rd position out of 1792 tested combinations for Fivem. That rank puts it comfortably in the top quarter of all tested setups, meaning the pairing is well above average for this specific multiplayer title. The data shows a system that can push high frame rates at 1080p and remains playable at 4K, though the performance curve reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution climbs.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 403 out of 1792 tested combinations places it in the 77th percentile of all pairings measured for Fivem. This is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, but it is far from entry-level; the data indicates a balanced pairing that outperforms the vast majority of tested hardware. The RTX 5070’s individual GPU percentile of 83 is notably higher than the combo’s overall rank, which suggests the CPU is holding the pairing back from achieving even higher placement. Specifically, the i5-11400F sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, so both components are above average, but the GPU has more headroom than the processor can feed in certain scenarios. Compared to other combos in this database, this pairing delivers strong results, but it is not optimized for maximum Fivem performance; the rank reflects a system where the CPU is the limiting factor at lower resolutions, while the GPU takes over at higher ones.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F provides 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Rocket Lake processor, built on a 14 nm process, offers a 12 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory. Its benchmark scores show a solid mid-range performer: the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14372 and single-core score of 2029 place it well within the expected range for a six-core part. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod that relies heavily on single-thread performance for game logic and physics, the CPU’s 3dmark single-thread score of 868 is a key indicator. The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo hits 264 FPS, but this number drops to 137.2 FPS at Ultra settings, a 48% reduction. This drop is largely CPU-driven because the processor must handle the increased draw calls and entity updates that come with higher detail settings. The i5-11400F’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U and Intel Core i7-1260P, have nearly identical average scores (17189 and 17212, respectively), with deltaPct values of 0% and -0.2%, meaning the CPU is performance-equivalent to those parts. For Fivem, the 12 threads help with background tasks and server communication, but the core count is not excessive; the boost clock of 4.40 GHz provides the single-thread speed needed for acceptable frame pacing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 brings 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 2325 MHz, boosting to 2512 MHz, and it uses the GB205 chip on a 5 nm process. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 29137 and its 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs show that it is a high-end part. In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes dominant at higher resolutions. The measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo averages 47.3 FPS, which is a demanding scenario for any card. The RTX 5070’s nearest rivals, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, have average scores within 0.6% of each other, indicating that this card competes with the previous generation’s flagship. The GPU’s 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores are present but not heavily utilized in Fivem, which is not a graphically intensive title by modern standards. Instead, the 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures, even at 4K Ultra. The data shows a clear GPU bottleneck at 4K: dropping from High to Low settings at 3840x2160 increases the average FPS from 64.5 to 100.1, a 55% improvement. This responsiveness to settings changes confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor at that resolution.

FAQ

Q: How does this combo compare to the nearest rival CPUs in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The i5-11400F has an average benchmark score of 17181, which is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (17189, 0% delta) and the Intel Core i7-1260P (17212, -0.2% delta). This means the CPU is performance-equivalent to those parts, with no meaningful advantage in raw compute.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between 1080p and 4K at High settings?

A: At 1920x1080 High, the combo averages 175.8 FPS. At 3840x2160 High, the average drops to 64.5 FPS. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GPU becomes heavily loaded at 4K.

Q: Is the RTX 5070’s performance closer to the RTX 3090 or other cards?

A: The RTX 5070 has an average benchmark score of 41687. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 scores 41441, a delta of 0.6%, meaning the 5070 is slightly faster. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 41610, a delta of 0.2%, which is essentially identical.

Q: Does lowering settings from Ultra to Low provide a larger benefit at 4K or 1080p?

A: At 3840x2160, going from Ultra (47.3 FPS) to Low (100.1 FPS) more than doubles the frame rate, a 112% increase. At 1920x1080, the same settings change goes from 137.2 FPS to 264 FPS, a 92% increase. The absolute gain is larger at 4K.

Q: What is the CPU’s single-thread performance relative to its multicore score?

A: The Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2029, while the multicore score is 14372. This gives a multicore-to-single-core ratio of about 7.1, which is typical for a 6-core/12-thread processor and shows scaling that is not perfectly linear.

Q: How does the GPU’s memory bandwidth compare to its predecessor’s?

A: The RTX 5070 has a memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s using 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus. The data does not include a direct predecessor comparison, but this bandwidth figure is high enough to avoid bottlenecks in Fivem at standard settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent and predictable scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 264 FPS, which drops to 184.6 FPS at 1440p Low and 100.1 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 62% drop from 1080p to 4K at the lowest settings. At High settings, the progression is 175.8 FPS at 1080p, 114.4 FPS at 1440p, and 64.5 FPS at 4K, a 63% reduction. The consistency of this drop percentage across settings strongly indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at all resolutions above 1080p. However, at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 126.8 FPS (264 vs 137.2), while at 4K, the same settings difference is only 52.8 FPS (100.1 vs 47.3). This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is contributing more to the frame rate ceiling, as the GPU has spare capacity and can render frames faster than the CPU can issue draw calls. At 4K, the GPU is fully saturated, and the CPU has more time to prepare frames, so the bottleneck shifts entirely to the graphics card. The data reveals that the i5-11400F is capable of feeding the RTX 5070 at 1080p, but the GPU takes over as the definitive limiter as pixel count increases.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the High preset at 1440p is the standout choice from the measured data. It delivers 114.4 FPS average, which is above the 90 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and it does so with a 56% higher frame rate than Ultra at the same resolution (90.5 FPS). At 1080p, High settings also provide an excellent experience at 175.8 FPS, leaving substantial headroom for dips in busy multiplayer scenarios. If the goal is maximum frame rate for competitive play, Low settings at 1080p hit 264 FPS, which is the highest measured result, but this comes at the cost of visual fidelity. At 4K, the data shows that High settings (64.5 FPS) are the highest preset that remains playable, as Ultra drops to 47.3 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for most users. Medium settings at 4K (84 FPS) offer a middle ground but sacrifice detail for a smoother experience. The practical recommendation is to use High at 1440p for a default setup; it provides a high frame rate while retaining enough detail for the game’s environment and vehicle models. For users with 1080p monitors, High is the sweet spot, as the jump to Ultra only adds 38.6 FPS (from 175.8 to 137.2) but does not meaningfully improve the experience for this title. The data does not support using Ultra at any resolution above 1440p, as the frame rate penalty is disproportionate to the visual gains.
