Fivem

This combo pairs an Intel Core i5-11400F with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 for Fivem, placing 84th out of 1792 tested combinations. That top-5% ranking reflects a system that can handle the game’s multiplayer chaos, though the data reveals a clear imbalance: the CPU is the anchor at lower resolutions, while the GPU dominates at 4K. The measured frames per second (FPS) show a wide spread—from 64.6 at 4K Ultra to 260.2 at 1080p Low—so the experience depends heavily on your display and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 84 out of 1792 puts it in the top 4.7% of all tested pairings for Fivem. That is a strong position, but it is not purely a GPU victory lap. The data indicates the RTX 5090 is doing most of the heavy lifting, while the i5-11400F keeps pace just well enough to avoid dragging the system down at high resolutions. Compared to other combos in this benchmark database, this pairing sits ahead of the vast majority, but the margin is thinner than the GPU’s raw specs might suggest. For context, the CPU’s average benchmark score of 17181 places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (17189, deltaPct 0) and Intel Core i7-1260P (17212, deltaPct -0.2). That means the i5-11400F is statistically tied with those mobile-oriented chips in general compute, which is a warning sign for Fivem’s CPU-heavy multiplayer scenes. The GPU, meanwhile, sits at the 94th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 84306, just 0.1% ahead of the RTX 5090 D and 0.2% ahead of the RTX 5050 Mobile. In short, the rank is high because the GPU is exceptional, but the CPU is a mid-pack performer that will limit the ceiling in CPU-bound moments.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 brings 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. That is an enormous amount of memory bandwidth for Fivem, which is not particularly VRAM-hungry at typical settings. The card’s boost clock of 2407 MHz and base clock of 2017 MHz, combined with 21760 shading units, give it massive raw compute—104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes dominant at 4K, where the framerate scales directly with settings: 87.1 FPS at High, 111.5 at Medium, 142.2 at Low, and 64.6 at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 77.6 FPS, showing that the GPU is fully engaged and responsive to graphical load. At 1080p, however, the GPU is underutilized; the difference between Low (260.2 FPS) and Ultra (188.5 FPS) is only 71.7 FPS, but the absolute numbers suggest the CPU is throttling the output. The RTX 5090’s 176 ROPs and 680 TMUs are more than enough for Fivem’s engine, so the limiting factor is elsewhere.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about which component is the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 260.2 FPS; at 1440p Low, it drops to 229.3 FPS; at 4K Low, it falls to 142.2 FPS. That is a 45.4% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. At Ultra, the drop is steeper: 188.5 FPS at 1080p, 121.2 at 1440p, and 64.6 at 4K—a 65.7% reduction. The scaling pattern indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor because the framerate does not increase proportionally with lower graphical load. For example, 1080p Low (260.2) is only 18% higher than 1080p High (220.6), whereas 4K Low (142.2) is 63% higher than 4K High (87.1). This suggests that at 1080p, the i5-11400F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are saturating, while at 4K, the RTX 5090’s rendering workload dominates. If you are gaming at 1080p, you are leaving performance on the table—the GPU could push much higher, but the CPU cannot feed it fast enough.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo good for high-refresh 1080p gaming in Fivem?

A: Yes, but with a caveat. The measured FPS at 1080p ranges from 188.5 (Ultra) to 260.2 (Low), which exceeds most 144Hz monitors. However, the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads may cause dips in busy multiplayer scenes, as the CPU’s average benchmark score (17181) is only 0.2% above the Intel Core i7-1260P.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The i5-11400F’s average score of 17181 is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (17189, deltaPct 0) and 0.2% lower than the Intel Core i7-1260P (17212). This means it performs on par with lower-power mobile chips, which is not ideal for a desktop gaming CPU.

Q: What is the best resolution to use with this combo?

A: The data shows 1440p is the sweet spot. At 1440p High, you get 156.1 FPS, which is smooth and visually detailed. At 4K High, the framerate drops to 87.1 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play.

Q: Does the RTX 5090’s 32 GB VRAM matter for Fivem?

A: Not in the measured data. Fivem does not appear to be VRAM-limited at any tested setting, so the 32 GB capacity is irrelevant for this game. The GPU’s raw compute and bandwidth are what drive the 4K results.

Q: Will upgrading the CPU improve FPS at 1080p?

A: Likely yes. The framerate at 1080p Low (260.2) is only 18% higher than 1080p High (220.6), which is a small gap for a massive settings change. This indicates a CPU bottleneck, as a GPU-bound system would show a larger difference.

Q: How does this combo’s rank compare to other pairings?

A: It ranks 84th out of 1792 combos, putting it in the top 5%. That is a strong result, but the rank is driven by the GPU’s 94th percentile performance, not the CPU’s 75th percentile standing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 260.2 FPS on Low, 242.6 on Medium, 220.6 on High, and 188.5 on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 71.7 FPS, which is the smallest absolute spread across all resolutions. At 2560x1440, the numbers are 229.3 FPS on Low, 199.6 on Medium, 156.1 on High, and 121.2 on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 108.1 FPS, showing that the GPU is starting to take on more work. At 3840x2160, the framerates are 142.2 FPS on Low, 111.5 on Medium, 87.1 on High, and 64.6 on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 77.6 FPS, but the absolute values are significantly lower, confirming the GPU is now the primary driver. For a competitive edge, 1080p Low is the fastest option, but 1440p Medium (199.6 FPS) offers a balance of speed and visual quality. At 4K, only Low (142.2 FPS) approaches high-refresh territory, while Ultra drops below 65 FPS.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has a 12 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. In synthetic tests, it scores 14372 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2029 in single-core, which places it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. However, its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (17189, deltaPct 0) and Intel Core i7-1260P (17212, deltaPct -0.2), both of which are mobile chips. This suggests the i5-11400F is adequate but not exceptional for Fivem’s CPU demands. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the framerate is 260.2 FPS, but at 4K Low, it is 142.2 FPS—a 45.4% drop. If the CPU were stronger, the 1080p Low result would likely be higher, as the GPU has headroom. The CPU’s 6 cores are fine for Fivem’s threading, but the boost clock of 4.40 GHz is modest compared to modern high-end chips. In practice, this CPU will hold the RTX 5090 back at 1080p, but at 4K, the GPU’s workload masks the CPU’s limitations. For a balanced build, consider this combo for 1440p or 4K gaming, not for pushing 500+ FPS at 1080p.
