Fivem

The data for this hardware pairing in Fivem shows a clear pattern: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 is the dominant force, with the Intel Core i5-13400F providing ample headroom. Across all resolutions, the GPU’s workload scales predictably with settings, while the CPU’s role becomes more apparent only at lower resolutions and higher frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combination delivers an average of 54.8 FPS on High settings, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Dropping to Medium yields 68.4 FPS, a 24.8% improvement over High. Low settings push performance to 91.4 FPS, while Ultra dips to 42.5 FPS, the only sub-60 result at this resolution. The spread between Low and Ultra is 48.9 FPS, indicating that Ultra carries a significant rendering cost.

At 2560x1440, all presets clear 60 FPS. Low settings produce 162 FPS, Medium reaches 127.2 FPS, and High delivers 103.9 FPS. Ultra remains well above the threshold at 80.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 81.8 FPS, showing that even the heaviest preset leaves substantial performance margin. The step from High to Ultra costs 23.7 FPS, while the step from Low to Medium costs 34.8 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the pairing becomes exceptionally fast. Low settings hit 245.7 FPS, Medium reaches 192.2 FPS, High produces 154.2 FPS, and Ultra still manages 122.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 123.6 FPS, the largest absolute spread across all resolutions. Notably, the 1080p Ultra result is still 41.9 FPS higher than the 1440p Ultra result, suggesting the GPU is not yet saturated at the lower resolution.

The data shows no min or max FPS values are provided, so all analysis relies on averages. The relative scaling between presets is consistent: Low to Medium costs roughly 21-22% performance, Medium to High costs another 18-19%, and High to Ultra costs another 23-30%, depending on resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals which component limits performance. At 3840x2160, the RX 9070’s rendering load dominates. Ultra drops to 42.5 FPS, which is 63.7% of the High result at the same resolution. This heavy performance penalty suggests the GPU’s pixel and texture throughput is the bottleneck. The 9070’s 644.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and 36.13 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are being taxed by 4K rendering.

At 2560x1440, the CPU begins to matter more. The i5-13400F’s 10 cores and 16 threads, with a 4.60 GHz boost clock, can feed the GPU at higher frame rates. The 1440p Low result of 162 FPS is 77% higher than the 4K Low result of 91.4 FPS, indicating that the GPU has spare capacity once resolution drops. However, the 1440p Ultra result of 80.2 FPS is still 37.7 FPS lower than the 1440p High result, showing that GPU load remains significant.

At 1920x1080, the CPU’s role becomes most visible. The 1080p Low result of 245.7 FPS is 51.7% higher than the 1440p Low result. This large jump suggests the CPU can push frame rates much higher when the GPU is not resolution-limited. The i5-13400F’s single-thread score of 960 in 3dmark and 3634 in Passmark indicates strong per-core performance, which matters for Fivem’s multiplayer scenes with many entities. The 1080p Ultra result of 122.1 FPS is still 52.3% higher than the 1440p Ultra result, reinforcing that the CPU is not the limiting factor even at high settings.

The data implies that at 4K, the RX 9070 is the primary constraint, with the CPU having negligible influence. At 1440p, the GPU still dominates but the CPU’s headroom allows higher frame rates. At 1080p, the CPU’s capability becomes more relevant, but the GPU still has enough throughput to keep Ultra above 120 FPS. No setting combination shows CPU-bound behavior, as even 1080p Low at 245.7 FPS does not reveal a ceiling.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem comfortably at most settings. At 1920x1080, every preset clears 60 FPS with substantial margin — Ultra averages 122.1 FPS, and Low reaches 245.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra at 80.2 FPS and High at 103.9 FPS. The only resolution where playability becomes conditional is 3840x2160. At 4K, High settings fall short at 54.8 FPS, but Medium at 68.4 FPS and Low at 91.4 FPS are both playable. Ultra at 4K fails the 60 FPS threshold at 42.5 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p and 1440p are fully playable at any preset, while 4K requires dropping from Ultra to Medium or Low. For users with a 60 Hz display, 4K Medium is the highest quality setting that maintains smooth gameplay. For higher refresh rate displays at 1080p or 1440p, this combo provides ample headroom, with 1440p Ultra still delivering 80.2 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 combination ranks 1129 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the pairing in the 69.5th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of other CPU-GPU pairings in this game. The GPU’s individual percentile of 69 against all GPUs and the CPU’s percentile of 77 against all CPUs are consistent with this combined ranking.

The ranking suggests that while neither component is in the absolute top tier, the balance between them is well-suited for Fivem. The CPU’s 16 threads and the GPU’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory with 644.6 GB/s bandwidth contribute to a combination that handles the game’s multiplayer demands without obvious bottlenecks. The rank also implies that many higher-end combinations are either limited by other factors or that Fivem’s performance ceiling is reached before the hardware’s full potential is tapped.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers 122.1 FPS. This provides maximum visual quality with more than double the playable threshold. Users prioritizing higher frame rates can choose High at 154.2 FPS, Medium at 192.2 FPS, or Low at 245.7 FPS, but Ultra is the recommended setting for quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best playable setting, averaging 80.2 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by 20.2 FPS, leaving some buffer for demanding multiplayer scenes. High at 103.9 FPS offers more headroom if frame rate stability is a concern, but Ultra remains viable for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the best setting that maintains 60 FPS is Medium, averaging 68.4 FPS. Low at 91.4 FPS provides more margin but reduces graphical quality. High at 54.8 FPS and Ultra at 42.5 FPS are not recommended for a smooth experience. For 4K displays, Medium is the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance, with Low available as a fallback for busier multiplayer areas.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals show that comparable processors offer similar performance levels. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS matches the i5-13400F with a 0% deltaPct, making it a direct substitute in terms of benchmark scores. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D are each 0.3% slower, providing nearly identical CPU performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H is 0.4% faster, representing a marginal upgrade. These alternatives would not meaningfully change Fivem’s frame rates, as the CPU is not the bottleneck in this game at any tested resolution.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 9070’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z, which is 0.6% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Mobile, which is 1.1% slower. The AMD Radeon RX 6800S is 0.8% faster, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is 1.2% faster. These deltaPct values are small, meaning any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS results in Fivem. However, the RX 9070’s 16 GB VRAM and modern RDNA 4.0 architecture may offer advantages in other games or at higher texture settings, even if Fivem’s benchmark scores are similar.

For users considering alternatives, swapping the CPU to any of the listed rivals would result in negligible performance changes, as would swapping the GPU to any of its listed rivals. The combination’s performance is primarily defined by the GPU at 4K and shared between components at lower resolutions, but the deltaPct values of under 1.2% across all rivals mean that no alternative would push a borderline setting above or below the 60 FPS threshold.
