Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 produces playable results only at the Low preset, where the average frame rate reaches 53 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 42 FPS average, with minimums of 36 FPS and maximums of 48 FPS. High settings yield 33 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 26 FPS average. None of these 4K results clear the 60 FPS threshold, and the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial: a 27 FPS difference between the two extremes.

Moving down to 2560x1440, the picture improves considerably. The Low preset delivers 96 FPS average, which is the highest recorded at this resolution. Medium settings produce 75 FPS average, with a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS. High settings land exactly at 60 FPS average, making it the most demanding preset that remains playable. Ultra settings drop to 47 FPS average, which falls short of the 60 FPS target.

At 1920x1080, this combination performs comfortably across all four presets. The Low preset reaches 145 FPS average, the highest number in the entire measured dataset. Medium settings average 115 FPS, with minimums of 97 FPS and maximums of 132 FPS. High settings produce 92 FPS average, while Ultra settings still manage 71 FPS average. Every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS threshold, and even the most demanding setting leaves headroom above the playability line.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS average. The best available option is Low at 53 FPS, but that still misses the playable threshold. The database records no playable settings for this resolution, which means users targeting 4K will need to accept frame rates below 60 FPS or lower the resolution entirely.

At 2560x1440, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS is High, which averages exactly 60 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that remains playable at this resolution. Low and Medium also qualify, with 96 FPS and 75 FPS respectively, but High offers the best visual quality while still hitting the target.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 71 FPS. This gives users full visual fidelity with a comfortable margin above the playability line. All four presets at 1080p exceed 60 FPS, so there is no compromise needed at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear pattern of GPU-bound behavior as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more room to feed frames, with the Low preset reaching 145 FPS and Ultra still delivering 71 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p represents a 74 FPS drop, which indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor when settings are raised.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern continues but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 96 FPS, while Ultra drops to 47 FPS, a 49 FPS spread. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 64 FPS, which suggests the GPU is working harder at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. Low averages 53 FPS, and Ultra drops to 26 FPS, a 27 FPS spread. The difference between 1080p and 4K at the same settings illustrates this: Low goes from 145 FPS at 1080p to 53 FPS at 4K, a 63% reduction. High goes from 92 FPS at 1080p to 33 FPS at 4K, a 64% reduction. These large drops point to the RTX 2060's memory bandwidth and shading capacity being the bottleneck at higher resolutions.

The CPU's role is more apparent at lower resolutions and lower settings. The i5-13400F has 10 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and its benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance: 22604 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 25032 in Passmark multithread. At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 145 FPS, which suggests the CPU can keep up with high frame rates when the GPU is not overloaded. However, as resolution increases, the GPU workload grows and the CPU headroom becomes less relevant.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the playable experience depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 71 FPS. This is the sweet spot for this combination, offering full visual settings with a comfortable margin.

At 2560x1440, High settings average exactly 60 FPS, which makes it the maximum playable preset. Low and Medium also qualify, but Ultra falls short at 47 FPS. Users with 1440p monitors should stick to High or below for a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best option is Low at 53 FPS, which is close but still below the playable threshold. For 4K gaming, this combination is not sufficient, and users should consider a lower resolution or a more powerful GPU.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully playable at all settings, 1440p is playable up to High, and 4K is not playable at any setting. The RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but they limit 4K performance.

FAQ

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's tested combinations for Fivem, this Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 pairing ranks 2911 out of 3707 tested combos. This places it in the lower portion of the ranking, which aligns with the measured results: it handles 1080p and 1440p well, but struggles at 4K.

The CPU itself is a solid performer relative to its peers. Its average benchmark score of 25292 puts it nearly even with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS at 25284 (0% delta) and the Intel Core 5 120 at 25362 (-0.3% delta). The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25365 (-0.3% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201 (0.4% delta). The i5-13400F's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates strong processing power for this class.

The GPU, however, is less impressive in relative terms. The RTX 2060's average score of 15290 places it in the 58th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are closely bunched: the GTX 580 at 15283, the Radeon 680M at 15270, the RTX 3050 OEM at 15199, and the RX 7600 at 15171. The small deltas (0% to 0.8%) show that the RTX 2060 is essentially performance-neutral compared to these alternatives.

The combination's rank of 2911 out of 3707 reflects the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions. For a system built around this pairing, the practical takeaway is to target 1080p for the best experience, with 1440p viable at High settings. The CPU has enough headroom for future GPU upgrades, but the RTX 2060 will remain the limiting factor at 4K regardless of settings.
