Fivem

The Intel Core i5-9400 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti combination ranks near the very bottom for Fivem, sitting at position 1776 out of 1792 tested combos. This places the pairing in the bottom 1% of all tested hardware configurations for this title, indicating that while the system is functional, it delivers frame rates that are among the lowest recorded. The data shows a significant performance gap to nearly every other tested setup, meaning users of this combo will experience the game at a level far below what most other players see. This is not a matter of tuning or minor tweaks; the benchmark results indicate a fundamental hardware limitation for this specific multiplayer title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1776 out of 1792 tested combinations places it in the 0.9th percentile of all systems benchmarked for Fivem. This is a stark indicator of its standing; it is outperformed by 99.1% of all tested configurations. The results are measured, not estimated, and they point to a pairing that struggles under the game’s load. When compared to the CPU’s own benchmark percentile of 50 out of 100, it is clear that the processor is not the primary bottleneck in this pairing. Conversely, the GPU’s percentile of 30 out of 100 is low, and the combined effect in Fivem is amplified, resulting in a rank that is far worse than either component’s individual standing. The data suggests that the GTX 1050 Ti is the limiting factor, and the i5-9400’s mid-pack processing power cannot compensate for the graphics card’s lack of throughput in this specific game.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the dominant constraint in this configuration. It comes with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 112.1 GB/s. The card’s base clock is 1291 MHz with a boost clock of 1392 MHz, and it operates at a TDP of 75 W. In the context of Fivem, these specifications translate directly into the low frame rates observed. The card’s average benchmark score of 5316 places it in the 30th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce 930A (0% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce 940M (0.4% delta), which are similarly low-powered parts. The 4 GB VRAM is a significant limitation for a modern multiplayer title, and the benchmark results show that even at the lowest settings, the card cannot maintain high frame rates at higher resolutions. The Pascal architecture, built on a 14 nm process, offers a foundation that is clearly stretched beyond its limits in this scenario.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience for this combo is found at 1920x1080 with Low settings, which yields an average of 63.8 FPS. This is the only configuration that approaches a consistently playable frame rate. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average drops to 51 FPS, which is still playable but shows a noticeable performance cost. The jump to High settings at the same resolution results in an average of 36.8 FPS, which falls below the threshold for smooth gameplay in a fast-paced multiplayer environment. The data indicates a clear trade-off: lowering the settings is necessary to achieve a stable experience. At 2560x1440, the best option is Low at 39 FPS, which is borderline, while 3840x2160 is not a viable option at any setting, with the highest average being 24.9 FPS on Low. The recommendation is to prioritize 1080p resolution and the Low preset to maximize frame rate, as the performance penalty for higher visual fidelity is severe.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings.

At 3840x2160, the combo is largely unplayable. The average FPS figures are 16.5 on High, 20.1 on Medium, 24.9 on Low, and 8.9 on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is significant, but even the best-case scenario of 24.9 FPS is below the threshold for a smooth experience. The data shows that this resolution is beyond the capabilities of the GTX 1050 Ti in Fivem.

At 2560x1440, performance improves but remains constrained. The average FPS is 22.8 on High, 30.4 on Medium, 39 on Low, and 20.2 on Ultra. The Low preset provides the only average above 30 FPS, but it is still not ideal. The drop from Medium to High is 7.6 FPS, and from Medium to Ultra is 10.2 FPS, showing that the higher presets incur a substantial cost with little benefit at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the situation is more workable. The average FPS is 36.8 on High, 51 on Medium, 63.8 on Low, and 28 on Ultra. The Low preset is the standout performer, offering a 12.8 FPS advantage over Medium. The High preset is 14.2 FPS below Medium, and the Ultra preset is 23 FPS below Medium. This data clearly shows that the Low preset is the only one that delivers a frame rate high enough to be considered reliably smooth, while the Ultra preset is the worst-performing setting tested.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings for this combo in Fivem?

A: The measured data shows that 1920x1080 with Low settings delivers the highest average frame rate of 63.8 FPS. This is the only configuration that provides a consistently playable experience for this hardware pairing.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the best average FPS is 39 on Low settings. Other presets are lower: Medium is 30.4 FPS, High is 22.8 FPS, and Ultra is 20.2 FPS. The 1440p resolution is usable only on the lowest settings.

Q: Is 4K gaming possible with this setup?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS is 24.9 on Low settings. The Ultra preset yields only 8.9 FPS, and High is 16.5 FPS. All results are below playable levels.

Q: Which component is the limiting factor?

A: The GPU. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti has a benchmark percentile of 30 out of 100, while the Intel Core i5-9400 has a percentile of 50 out of 100. The combo rank of 1776 out of 1792 is far lower than the CPU’s individual standing, pointing to the graphics card as the bottleneck.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GTX 1050 Ti’s average benchmark score is 5316. Its closest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce 930A with a score of 5317 (0% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce 940M with a score of 5297 (0.4% delta). These are all similarly performing, low-tier graphics parts.

Q: What is the average FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: The difference is 35.8 FPS. The measured average on Low is 63.8 FPS, while on Ultra it drops to 28 FPS. This is a substantial performance penalty for the highest visual preset.
