Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a versatile 1080p and 1440p experience in Fivem, with 4K playable only after dropping to Low settings. This combination ranks in the 43rd percentile of tested combos for this game, placing it at position 1626 out of 3707, which indicates solid mid-pack performance. The data shows a clear scaling pattern where the RTX 3070’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake CPU maintains sufficient headroom to avoid bottlenecking.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the i5-13400F and RTX 3070 produce consistently high frame rates across all presets. Low settings deliver an average of 217 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset for this combo. Medium settings drop to 169.1 FPS average, High settings yield 133.5 FPS average, and Ultra settings still maintain a robust 106.2 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra represents roughly a 51% performance penalty, which is typical for a game like Fivem where draw distance and shadow quality heavily impact GPU load. Every 1080p preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold by a substantial margin, with even the most demanding Ultra preset providing 46.2 FPS of headroom above that target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scaling remains strong but shows more pronounced differences between presets. Low settings achieve 139.5 FPS average, Medium delivers 108.5 FPS average, and High produces 88.6 FPS average. Ultra at 1440p still manages 68.7 FPS average, which is above the 60 FPS threshold but with less margin than lower presets. The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 35% performance on Ultra settings (106.2 down to 68.7), while the Low preset sees a smaller 36% reduction (217 down to 139.5). This suggests that Fivem’s Ultra preset scales more aggressively with resolution than its Low preset, likely due to increased texture memory pressure at higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Ultra settings produce only 40 FPS average, which is far below the playable threshold and represents a 62% drop from the 1440p Ultra result. High settings at 4K yield 50 FPS average, still short of 60 FPS. Medium settings barely miss the target at 59.9 FPS average, missing the 60 FPS threshold by just 0.1 FPS. Only Low settings at 4K achieve playable performance with 76.8 FPS average. The data indicates that the RTX 3070’s 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a serious constraint at 4K in this game, as the Ultra preset at this resolution likely exceeds available memory, causing the sharp performance cliff.

The measured FPS data includes only average frame rates, with no minimum or maximum values reported. This means the analysis cannot assess frame time consistency or stutter behavior, which is relevant for a multiplayer title like Fivem where server-side events and other players can cause sudden load spikes. The averages do provide a reliable baseline for comparing presets and resolutions, but users should expect some variation around these numbers during intense gameplay moments.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which achieves an average of 106.2 FPS. This preset clears the 60 FPS threshold by 46.2 FPS, providing ample headroom for the unpredictable frame time spikes common in multiplayer sessions. There is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset stays well above playable levels.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also represent the best choice, with an average of 68.7 FPS. This is 8.7 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, which is a modest but acceptable margin. The next step down, High at 88.6 FPS, offers 19.9 FPS more headroom, but the Ultra preset’s visual improvements justify the performance cost for most users. If frame rate stability is a priority, High settings provide a safer buffer, but Ultra remains technically playable.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Low, which achieves 76.8 FPS average. This is the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold at 4K, and it does so by 16.8 FPS. Medium settings at 59.9 FPS are technically unplayable by the 60 FPS standard, despite being very close. High and Ultra at 4K are not viable options, with averages of 50 and 40 FPS respectively. Users who want to play at 4K must accept Low settings, which still provides a smooth experience.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear. At 1920x1080, this system runs Fivem exceptionally well, with all presets clearing the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra settings achieve 106.2 FPS average, making this the ideal resolution for maximum visual quality without compromise. At 2560x1440, the system also handles all presets above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 68.7 FPS average being the best choice for those who prioritize image quality. The 1440p High preset at 88.6 FPS is a safer option for users who want extra headroom against frame drops.

At 3840x2160, the system only achieves playable performance on Low settings, with 76.8 FPS average. Medium settings miss the 60 FPS target by just 0.1 FPS at 59.9, which is frustratingly close but still below the playable threshold. High and Ultra at 4K are not viable, with averages of 50 and 40 FPS respectively. This system is therefore a strong 1080p and good 1440p machine for Fivem, but 4K users must accept significant visual compromises to maintain smooth gameplay.

The RTX 3070’s 8 GB VRAM is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the sharp performance drop from Medium to High suggests the GPU is hitting memory capacity limits. The i5-13400F, with its 20 MB L3 cache and 16 threads, has ample processing power to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but cannot compensate for the memory constraint at higher pixel counts. For users with 4K displays, Low settings provide a playable experience, but the system is better suited to 1440p Ultra or 1080p Ultra for the best balance of performance and visuals.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have close rivals that would produce nearly identical performance in Fivem. The i5-13400F’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284 (0% difference), the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H at 25201 (0.4% faster), the Intel Core 5 120 at 25362 (0.3% slower), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D at 25365 (0.3% slower). Any of these CPUs would deliver essentially the same frame rates in Fivem, as the game is not heavily CPU-bound at the tested resolutions with this GPU.

On the GPU side, the RTX 3070’s nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (17083, 0.7% slower), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (17037, 1% slower), AMD Radeon HD 7970M (17019, 1.1% slower), and NVIDIA Tesla K40c (17468, 1.5% faster). The RX 7600 XT is the most relevant alternative as a modern GPU, and its 0.7% lower average score means it would deliver nearly identical FPS in Fivem. The GTX 690 and HD 7970M are older architectures that would likely struggle with driver support and modern feature sets despite similar synthetic scores. The Tesla K40c is a compute-oriented card not designed for gaming.

For practical purposes, swapping the i5-13400F for any of its rivals would change Fivem performance by less than 1%, which is imperceptible in real gameplay. Similarly, choosing the RX 7600 XT instead of the RTX 3070 would result in almost identical frame rates across all resolutions and presets. The key takeaway is that this performance tier is well-populated, and users with any of these close alternatives can expect similar results in Fivem.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination ranks 1626 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the 56th percentile of all tested systems. This means about 56% of tested combos perform worse, while 44% perform better. The rank reflects a balanced mid-range pairing that excels at 1080p and handles 1440p well, but falls behind higher-end configurations at 4K.

The CPU’s 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs outpaces the GPU’s 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs, indicating that the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card in this pairing. This imbalance suggests that upgrading the GPU would yield larger performance gains than upgrading the CPU for Fivem, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The RTX 3070’s 8 GB VRAM capacity is a notable weakness for 4K gaming, and systems with GPUs offering more memory or higher bandwidth would rank significantly better.

In practical terms, the 1626 rank out of 3707 places this combo in the upper-middle range of tested configurations. It outperforms budget and older mid-range systems but trails high-end builds with more powerful GPUs. For Fivem specifically, the combo’s strengths at 1080p and 1440p make it a solid choice for most players, with the caveat that 4K users should look at GPUs with more VRAM or lower their expectations to Low settings. The data indicates this is a dependable pairing for the game’s typical multiplayer scenarios, where frame rate stability at 1080p or 1440p matters more than raw 4K capability.
