Fivem

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 1920x1080?

A: Yes. The recorded data shows playable performance at both Low and Medium settings. Medium settings deliver 67.1 FPS on average, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 2560x1440?

A: None. The verdict data shows no playable settings at this resolution. Even Low settings only reach 57.3 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the Intel Core i5-13400F compare to its nearest CPU rivals?

A: The i5-13400F scores 25292 in the database's average benchmark score. It sits within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25201), and is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284). The Intel Core 5 120 (25362) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365) are both about 0.3% ahead.

Q: What GPU performance level does the AMD Radeon RX 580 offer?

A: The RX 580 has an average benchmark score of 12928, placing it in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs. Its closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile (12940, 0.1% faster), followed by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (12986, 0.4% faster).

Q: What is the most demanding playable preset at 1920x1080?

A: Medium settings at 67.1 FPS. High settings drop to 51.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so Medium is the highest playable preset.

Q: Is the RX 580 better than integrated graphics?

A: The database shows the AMD Radeon 740M (12870) is only 0.5% slower than the RX 580, meaning modern high-end integrated graphics approach this discrete GPU's performance. However, the RX 580 still holds a measurable lead.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Fivem reveals a clear pattern: the GPU is the dominant bottleneck at every resolution tested, but the margin shifts as resolution changes.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. Moving from Low (29.5 FPS) to Medium (26 FPS) costs only 3.5 FPS, while High (18.2 FPS) and Ultra (15.9 FPS) show steep drops. This compression between Low and Medium indicates the CPU has headroom to feed the GPU, but the RX 580 simply cannot push enough pixels at 4K. The spread from Low to Ultra is 13.6 FPS, and even the best case (Low) falls far short of playable.

At 2560x1440, the GPU remains the primary constraint but the CPU starts showing more influence. Low settings reach 57.3 FPS, nearly touching the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 43.8 FPS, High to 35.8 FPS, and Ultra to 26.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 13.5 FPS loss, which is a larger absolute drop than at 4K, suggesting the CPU's ability to feed the GPU becomes more relevant as resolution lowers. Still, no preset clears 60 FPS, so the GPU holds the system back.

At 1920x1080, the balance shifts noticeably. Low settings hit 82.6 FPS, well above playable. Medium maintains 67.1 FPS, still clearing the threshold. High drops to 51.6 FPS and Ultra to 42.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium (15.5 FPS) and between High and Ultra (8.9 FPS) shows that the CPU, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, can keep up with the GPU's output at this resolution. The i5-13400F's strong multi-threaded scores (22604 in Cinebench R23 multicore) and single-thread performance (3191) ensure it is not the primary limitation here.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the RX 580 is the clear bottleneck, as the CPU has ample headroom. At 1440p and above, the RX 580 becomes even more limiting, and the CPU's advantage is largely wasted because the GPU cannot translate it into higher frame rates. The i5-13400F's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs far exceeds the RX 580's 53rd percentile, confirming this imbalance.

Best Settings per Resolution

3840x2160: No playable preset exists. The highest average FPS is 29.5 at Low settings, which is less than half the 60 FPS threshold. Medium (26), High (18.2), and Ultra (15.9) all fall further behind. This resolution is not viable with this combination.

2560x1440: No playable preset exists. Low settings come closest at 57.3 FPS, but this misses the 60 FPS threshold by 2.7 FPS. Medium (43.8), High (35.8), and Ultra (26.5) are progressively worse. The verdict data confirms no playable settings at this resolution.

1920x1080: Medium settings at 67.1 FPS is the most demanding playable preset. Low settings run at 82.6 FPS, offering extra headroom for busy multiplayer moments. High settings (51.6 FPS) and Ultra (42.7 FPS) fall below playable. The verdict data lists both Low and Medium as playable, with Medium as the best option at 67.1 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 580 ranks 3403 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. That places it in the lower 8% of all configurations in the database, a surprisingly weak position given the CPU's strength.

The ranking reflects the GPU's age and performance tier. The RX 580, released in 2017 and now end-of-life, holds only a 53rd percentile position among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 12928 is modest by modern standards. The i5-13400F, by contrast, is a current-generation part with a 77th percentile ranking and an average score of 25292.

This mismatch means the combo's overall rank is dragged down almost entirely by the GPU. The 3403rd position out of 3707 indicates that most tested systems, even those with weaker CPUs, outperform this pairing in Fivem because they pair those CPUs with stronger graphics hardware. The data shows that at 1080p Medium, the system barely clears 60 FPS, which is consistent with a bottom-decile ranking.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the Intel Core i5-13400F: The database lists four CPUs with nearly identical average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284, 0% delta) matches the i5-13400F almost exactly. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365, -0.3%) and Intel Core 5 120 (25362, -0.3%) are marginally faster. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25201, 0.4%) is slightly slower. Any of these CPUs would deliver effectively the same CPU-bound performance in Fivem. The 5600X3D's extra 3D V-Cache might help in some titles, but the benchmark scores suggest parity here.

For the AMD Radeon RX 580: The closest GPU rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile (12940, -0.1% delta), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER (12986, -0.4%), AMD Radeon 740M (12870, 0.5%), and AMD FirePro W5100 (12847, 0.6%). The GTX 1660 SUPER is the strongest of these, delivering roughly 0.4% more performance. The RTX 3050 Ti Mobile is essentially identical. The AMD Radeon 740M, an integrated solution, comes within 0.5% of the RX 580, which shows how far iGPU performance has advanced. A user swapping the RX 580 for a GTX 1660 SUPER would see negligible gains in Fivem, likely less than 1 FPS at any resolution.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? The answer depends entirely on resolution and settings.

At 1920x1080, yes. The system clears the 60 FPS threshold at both Low (82.6 FPS) and Medium (67.1 FPS) settings. Medium is the recommended choice because it offers substantially better visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above playable. High settings (51.6 FPS) and Ultra (42.7 FPS) are not viable.

At 2560x1440, no. Even Low settings reach only 57.3 FPS, just 2.7 FPS short of playable. Medium (43.8), High (35.8), and Ultra (26.5) all fall well below the threshold. Users with 1440p monitors would need to lower resolution or upgrade the GPU.

At 3840x2160, no. The best case is Low at 29.5 FPS, which is less than half the playable threshold. All other presets are worse, with Ultra bottoming out at 15.9 FPS. 4K gaming is entirely out of reach for this combination.

The verdict data confirms this: only 1920x1080 lists playable settings, specifically Low and Medium, with Medium at 67.1 FPS as the best option.

The practical takeaway: this combo is a 1080p machine for Fivem. The i5-13400F has plenty of headroom for future GPU upgrades, but the RX 580 limits the system to 1080p Medium at best. For 1440p or 4K play, a substantial GPU upgrade would be required. At 1080p, players should stick to Medium settings for the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate stability, especially considering the unpredictable CPU loads common in multiplayer sessions.
