Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 shows a clear performance curve across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below playable thresholds. The Low preset averages 28 FPS, Medium averages 22 FPS with a minimum of 19 and maximum of 25, High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. None of these averages approach the 60 FPS target, and even the most demanding preset at this resolution, Ultra, yields only 14 FPS, which is functionally unplayable for smooth motion.

Moving to 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains far from ideal. The Low preset reaches an average of 50 FPS, which is close but still 10 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 40 FPS with a range between 34 and 46, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 25 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by the higher preset settings. The 1440p Low result is the only one within striking distance of playability, but it still does not clear the bar.

At 1920x1080, the data shows the first playable results. The Low preset averages 77 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages exactly 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 and a maximum of 70, meaning it is playable on average but with occasional dips below the threshold. High averages 48 FPS, and Ultra averages 38 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 17 FPS, while the step from Medium to High costs another 12 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 10 FPS. This scaling demonstrates that the RX 570 has a finite budget at 1080p, and only the two least demanding presets can sustain the required frame rate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database records the nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU in this combo. For the Intel Core i5-13400F, the closest alternatives based on average benchmark scores are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284 against the i5-13400F's 25292, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25362, which is 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25365, also 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201, which is 0.4% lower. These four processors sit within a narrow band of roughly 0.7% total spread, meaning that swapping the i5-13400F for any of these would produce effectively indistinguishable CPU-bound behavior in Fivem. The Ryzen 9 6900HS and Ryzen 7 6800H are both mobile parts, while the Ryzen 5 5600X3D is a desktop chip, but the benchmark scores indicate the CPU is not the limiting factor at the resolutions tested.

For the AMD Radeon RX 570, the nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, which scores 28874 against the RX 570's 28766, a delta of -0.4%. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28580, which is 0.7% lower, the AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28996, which is 0.8% higher, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, which is 1.2% lower. The RX 470 is the most directly comparable desktop part, and its near-identical average score means it would deliver the same FPS numbers in Fivem at every resolution and preset. The RX 6800M is a mobile GPU with a higher tier, but its score is only 0.4% off, suggesting that in this specific game, the RX 570 holds its own against a much more expensive part. The Quadro RTX 8000, despite being a workstation card, lands within 1.2%, which is a negligible difference for gameplay.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 1920x1080 with Medium settings?

A: Yes. The recorded average FPS at 1080p Medium is exactly 60, with a minimum of 51 and a maximum of 70. This clears the playable threshold of 60 FPS on average, though individual dips below 60 may occur.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 2560x1440?

A: None. The verdict data shows no playable settings at 1440p. The highest average FPS at this resolution is 50 on Low, which is 10 FPS short of the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to the RX 470 in this game?

A: The RX 570 scores 28766 on average, while the RX 470 scores 28996, a delta of -0.8%. This means the RX 470 is slightly faster, but the difference is under 1%, so both cards would produce nearly identical FPS numbers in Fivem.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more responsible for the performance difference between 1080p and 4K?

A: The data shows a larger FPS drop from 1080p Low (77 FPS) to 4K Low (28 FPS), a 49 FPS reduction, which indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The CPU's benchmark scores are competitive with rivals, but the GPU's workload scales directly with pixel count.

Q: What average FPS can be expected at 3840x2160 on Ultra?

A: The recorded average is 14 FPS. This is far below the 60 FPS playable threshold and is not suitable for smooth gameplay.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems for Fivem?

A: It ranks 3529 out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the lower 5% of all configurations in the database for this game.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous. At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings; every preset from Low to Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold, with the best case being 28 FPS on Low. At 2560x1440, the situation is identical: no playable settings exist, and the best average is 50 FPS on Low. The only resolution where this PC can run Fivem at or above 60 FPS is 1920x1080. At 1080p, the Low preset averages 77 FPS and Medium averages 60 FPS, both of which clear the threshold. High and Ultra do not, with averages of 48 and 38 FPS respectively. Therefore, the answer is conditional: this PC can run Fivem, but only at 1080p and only on Low or Medium settings. For players who demand higher resolutions or more demanding presets, this hardware combination will not deliver a 60 FPS experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 3529 out of 3707 tested combos in the database for Fivem. This places it in the bottom 4.8% of all configurations, which is a low standing but not the absolute worst. The ranking reflects the GPU's age and the fact that Fivem is a multiplayer title with demanding draw distances and asset streaming. The CPU, by contrast, performs well in synthetic benchmarks: it sits at the 77th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25292. The GPU also holds a 74th percentile against all GPUs, but its average score of 28766 is dragged down by the 4 GB memory capacity and the older GCN 4.0 architecture. The rank of 3529 out of 3707 suggests that most other tested systems, including those with weaker CPUs but stronger GPUs, outperform this combo in Fivem. The narrow gap between this combo and the bottom of the list indicates that slight GPU upgrades would move the rank significantly, while CPU upgrades would have minimal impact.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, there is no best setting because no preset achieves 60 FPS. The data records the highest average as 28 FPS on Low, but since the playable threshold is 60, this resolution is excluded from playable considerations. At 2560x1440, the same applies: no preset reaches 60 FPS, with Low at 50 FPS being the closest. The verdict data explicitly lists no playable settings for either 4K or 1440p. At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is Medium, which averages exactly 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 and a maximum of 70. This is the most demanding setting that stays at or above the 60 FPS average. Low also clears the threshold at 77 FPS, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still meeting the target. High and Ultra do not qualify, as they average 48 and 38 FPS respectively. For players who want the best visual fidelity without dropping below 60 FPS on average, 1080p Medium is the definitive choice.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 39 FPS (77 down to 38), which is a large swing driven primarily by GPU load. At 2560x1440, the same preset swing costs 25 FPS (50 down to 25), and at 3840x2160, it costs 14 FPS (28 down to 14). The diminishing absolute FPS loss at higher resolutions is expected because the GPU is already saturated. The CPU, with 10 cores and 16 threads, is not a bottleneck at any resolution; its nearest rivals score within 0.4% of it, and swapping in a Ryzen 5 5600X3D or Ryzen 9 6900HS would not change the FPS numbers in this game. The GPU, however, shows its limits clearly: the RX 570 has 2048 shading units and a 256-bit memory bus with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth, but at 4K, the 4 GB GDDR5 frame buffer and the 5.095 TFLOPS compute rate are insufficient for even Low settings. The scaling from 1080p Low (77 FPS) to 1440p Low (50 FPS) is a 35% drop, and from 1440p Low to 4K Low (28 FPS) is another 44% drop. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary determinant of performance as resolution increases, while the CPU's role remains static. In multiplayer scenarios with many players, the CPU could become more relevant, but the recorded data, which shows consistent GPU-bound scaling, does not support that hypothesis at the tested settings. The conclusion is straightforward: for this game, the RX 570 is the limiting component, and the i5-13400F has ample headroom.
