Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 delivers a strong, playable experience in Fivem, though 4K resolution requires careful settings management. Benchmark data shows this combo ranks in the 45th percentile of tested systems for this game, with performance scaling predictably as resolution and graphical load increase.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Low, producing an average of 73 FPS. The Medium preset dips to 58 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold, while High and Ultra average 46 FPS and 36 FPS respectively. This makes Low the only viable 4K option for smooth gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440, the situation improves dramatically. The Ultra preset achieves an average of 65 FPS, making it the best visual quality that still clears the 60 FPS bar. Medium runs at 104 FPS, High at 83 FPS, and Low at 132 FPS — all comfortably playable, but Ultra offers the richest experience without sacrificing frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an impressive 98 FPS average, representing the highest fidelity available while maintaining substantial headroom above 60 FPS. High runs at 126 FPS, Medium at 158 FPS, and Low at 200 FPS. The 1080p Ultra setting is the clear recommendation, as it provides maximum visual quality with nearly double the minimum required frame rate.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how workload distribution shifts between the i5-13400F and RX 7700. At 1080p, the system produces 200 FPS on Low settings — a figure that points to CPU-driven performance ceilings, as the GPU has ample headroom. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p costs 102 FPS, indicating that graphical settings heavily influence output even at lower resolutions.

At 1440p, the gap between Low (132 FPS) and Ultra (65 FPS) narrows to 67 FPS. This suggests the GPU begins taking on more responsibility as pixel count increases, but the CPU still contributes meaningfully to overall throughput. The 4K results tell a clearer story: Low averages 73 FPS while Ultra drops to 36 FPS, a 37 FPS difference. At this resolution, the RX 7700’s rendering load becomes the dominant factor, with the i5-13400F’s 10 cores and 16 threads providing sufficient physics and game logic processing.

Comparing 1080p Low (200 FPS) to 4K Low (73 FPS) shows a 127 FPS reduction — a 63.5% drop that far exceeds the raw pixel count increase. This indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s role diminishes proportionally. At 1080p, the data suggests the i5-13400F’s single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 960) and multi-thread capability (3dmark max threads score of 7307) keep the pipeline fed, but at 4K the RX 7700’s 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 throughput becomes the limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 7700 ranks 1681 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the middle-upper tier of all systems evaluated, but notably below what the individual component benchmarks might suggest. The CPU holds a 77th percentile ranking against all processors, while the GPU sits at the 58th percentile against all graphics cards — yet the combined system performance in this specific game lands near the 45th percentile.

This discrepancy implies Fivem’s multiplayer nature introduces unique bottlenecks. The game’s heavy server-side scripting and player-driven interactions likely stress the CPU’s per-core performance more than synthetic benchmarks indicate. The i5-13400F’s 3dmark 2-thread score of 1880 and passmark single-thread score of 3634 show solid single-core capability, but the game’s engine may not fully utilize the 10 available cores, leaving performance on the table.

The GPU’s 58th percentile ranking against all GPUs suggests the RX 7700 is a mid-pack contender, yet its 16 GB GDDR6 memory and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for Fivem’s texture streaming. The rank of 1681 indicates that roughly 45% of tested systems outperform this combo, which is reasonable given the CPU’s strong but not elite standing and the GPU’s mid-range positioning.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals show that the i5-13400F sits in a tightly competitive cluster. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scores 25284 on average, a 0% delta from the i5-13400F’s 25292 average benchmark score. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D both score 25362 and 25365 respectively, each showing a -0.3% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H trails slightly with 25201, a +0.4% delta. This grouping means any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical Fivem performance when paired with the same GPU, with differences well under 1%.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon R9 370X scores 15862, a -0.1% delta from the RX 7700’s 15852 average. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 achieves 16014, showing a -1% delta, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 delivers 15679, a +1.1% delta. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti leads this group with 16129, a -1.7% delta. These four cards would behave almost identically in Fivem, with the RTX 3060 Ti offering marginally higher throughput and the Pro W5500 slightly less.

For users considering alternatives, swapping the i5-13400F for a Ryzen 9 6900HS or Ryzen 7 6800H would yield virtually no measurable difference in Fivem frame rates. Similarly, exchanging the RX 7700 for an RTX 3060 Ti would produce a 1.7% performance increase — imperceptible in real-world gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K):

• Ultra: 36 FPS average
• High: 46 FPS average
• Medium: 58 FPS average, 49 FPS minimum, 66 FPS maximum
• Low: 73 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Ultra: 65 FPS average
• High: 83 FPS average
• Medium: 104 FPS average, 88 FPS minimum, 120 FPS maximum
• Low: 132 FPS average

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Ultra: 98 FPS average
• High: 126 FPS average
• Medium: 158 FPS average, 134 FPS minimum, 182 FPS maximum
• Low: 200 FPS average

The Medium preset at each resolution includes minimum and maximum readings, revealing frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 134 FPS minimum still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin. At 1440p Medium, the 88 FPS minimum maintains comfortable playability. At 4K Medium, the 49 FPS minimum falls below playable levels, confirming that this preset cannot sustain smooth gameplay despite its 58 FPS average.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem effectively across all tested resolutions, but with important caveats. At 1920x1080, every preset — Ultra, High, Medium, and Low — clears 60 FPS, with the best settings being Ultra at 98 FPS average. This is the ideal resolution for this combo, offering maximum visual fidelity with strong performance headroom.

At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, including Ultra at 65 FPS average. This resolution represents a sweet spot where the RX 7700’s 16 GB memory and 256-bit bus provide enough bandwidth for detailed textures while maintaining smooth frame rates. Players seeking high refresh rates can drop to Medium for 104 FPS or Low for 132 FPS.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset achieves playable performance at 73 FPS average. The Medium preset’s 58 FPS average and 49 FPS minimum make it unsuitable for consistent 60 FPS gameplay. High and Ultra at 46 FPS and 36 FPS respectively are not viable for smooth play. The data shows this combo is 4K-capable only with reduced settings, which may disappoint users expecting high-fidelity 4K.

For the best experience, 1440p Ultra offers the highest quality with acceptable frame rates, while 1080p Ultra provides the most headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios where Fivem’s server-side load can cause frame drops.
