Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a clear, tiered performance story in Fivem, with playability sharply divided by resolution. At 1920x1080, the combination is firmly in high-performance territory, while 2560x1440 requires a settings compromise, and 3840x2160 falls short of the 60 FPS threshold across all tested presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a complete picture of its scaling behavior.

At 1920x1080, the combo starts strong. The Low preset produces an average of 136 FPS, which is the highest average recorded across all tests. The Medium preset delivers 107 FPS average, with a minimum of 91 FPS and a maximum of 123 FPS. High settings yield 86 FPS average, and even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains a 67 FPS average. This resolution is the only one where every preset clears the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Stepping up to 2560x1440 shows a noticeable performance drop. The Low preset averages 89 FPS, which remains comfortably playable. Medium settings average 71 FPS, with a minimum of 60 FPS and a maximum of 81 FPS, placing it exactly at the playability threshold for frame drops. High settings drop to a 56 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS mark. The Ultra preset averages 44 FPS, representing the largest single-settings penalty at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance ceiling is clearly limited. The Low preset averages 50 FPS, Medium averages 39 FPS (with a minimum of 33 FPS and maximum of 45 FPS), High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. None of these averages reach the 60 FPS playability threshold, and the gap between the best and worst preset is 26 FPS.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution costs roughly 30-40% of the average FPS at equivalent settings. The difference between 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 at Medium settings is 36 FPS, while the difference between 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 at the same preset is 32 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals how the Intel Core i5-13400F and Intel Arc B570 divide responsibilities in Fivem. The CPU, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, provides substantial headroom for the game's multiplayer logic and physics simulation. Benchmark data shows the i5-13400F scoring 22604 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3191 in single-core, placing it at the 77th percentile among all CPUs.

The GPU, an Intel Arc B570 with 2304 shading units and 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. Its 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 performance are sufficient for 1080p gaming but struggle to maintain frame rates at higher pixel counts.

The resolution scaling in the measured data confirms this split. At 1920x1080, the GPU has ample bandwidth to feed the render pipeline, allowing the CPU to drive high frame rates. The jump from 136 FPS at Low to 67 FPS at Ultra suggests the GPU is still the bottleneck at higher presets, but the CPU is never starved. At 2560x1440, the GPU's pixel throughput limits become apparent: the 71 FPS average at Medium is 36 FPS lower than the same preset at 1080p, a 33.6% reduction that tracks closely with the 1.78x increase in pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is decisively the bottleneck. The 50 FPS average at Low settings and 24 FPS at Ultra indicate that the Arc B570 cannot sustain 60 FPS even with minimal graphical load. The CPU's Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 8892 and Passmark multi-thread score of 25032 suggest it would be capable of higher frame rates if the GPU could deliver them, but the 4K pixel workload overwhelms the GPU's 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate.

The preset scaling also illuminates the GPU's role. Going from Low to Medium at 2560x1440 costs 18 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 12 FPS. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU's shading units and texture units (144 TMUs, 80 ROPs) are the limiting resources, not the memory subsystem.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2980 out of 3707 tested combos places it in the 19.6th percentile of all configurations tested for Fivem. This is a modest ranking that reflects the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions, despite the CPU's strong showing.

The CPU itself, when isolated, ranks at the 77th percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 25292. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (score 25284, delta 0%), Intel Core 5 120 (score 25362, delta -0.3%), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (score 25365, delta -0.3%), and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (score 25201, delta 0.4%). These deltas show the i5-13400F is essentially tied with these four CPUs, with no more than a 0.5% difference in average score.

The GPU ranks at the 65th percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (score 20534, delta 0.1%), Intel Arc A750 (score 20582, delta -0.1%), NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (score 20480, delta 0.4%), and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (score 20662, delta -0.5%). The Arc B570 sits almost exactly between the RTX 3070 Mobile and Arc A750 in raw compute, which explains its mid-tier gaming performance.

The combination of a top-quartile CPU with a mid-tier GPU produces a combo that is stronger at 1080p than its overall rank suggests. The rank is dragged down by the 4K results, where the GPU cannot deliver playable frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rival data for both components provides a clear picture of what else would behave similarly in this system. For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS is the closest match with a delta of 0%, meaning the two perform identically on average. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D are both 0.3% slower, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H is 0.4% faster. A system using any of these CPUs would see virtually identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is 0.1% faster, making it the closest alternative. The Intel Arc A750 is 0.1% slower, creating a virtual tie between the two Intel GPUs. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 0.4% faster, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5% slower. Any of these GPUs, when paired with the i5-13400F, would produce FPS numbers within 1% of the measured results.

This means the combo's performance envelope is well-defined: swapping the CPU for a Ryzen 9 6900HS or Ryzen 7 6800H would not change the playability verdict at any resolution. Similarly, swapping the Arc B570 for an Arc A750 would preserve the same 1080p playability and 1440p Medium ceiling.

The Verdict

The verdict data provides clear guidance on this PC's ability to run Fivem. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with the Ultra preset averaging 67 FPS. This makes 1080p the definitive resolution for this combo, offering full visual fidelity at playable frame rates.

At 2560x1440, only the Low and Medium presets are playable. The Medium preset averages 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS, making it the best playable option. High and Ultra settings fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 56 and 44 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, no settings are playable. The Low preset's 50 FPS average is the closest, but it still falls 10 FPS short of the threshold. This resolution is not viable for this combo under any settings.

The CPU's strong single-thread performance (3191 in Cinebench R23 single-core) and the GPU's mid-range compute (11.52 TFLOPS) combine to deliver a system that excels at 1080p, performs adequately at 1440p with settings reductions, and fails at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured FPS data and the 60 FPS playability threshold, the optimal settings for each resolution are as follows:

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 67 FPS. This is the only resolution where the most demanding preset remains playable, providing maximum visual quality without sacrificing frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the best playable option, averaging 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS. This settings level balances visual quality with performance, staying just above the threshold even during frame drops.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The Low preset averages 50 FPS, which is the highest available, but it does not meet the 60 FPS requirement. Users seeking 4K gameplay would need to consider a more powerful GPU.

The data indicates that this combo's sweet spot is 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, where the 67 FPS average provides both high fidelity and smooth gameplay. For users willing to trade visual quality, 1440p Medium offers a similar experience with a 71 FPS average, though the minimum FPS of 60 sits exactly at the playability boundary.
