Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a versatile Fivem experience, with the data showing that 1080p Ultra settings are comfortably playable while 4K requires a significant settings reduction. This combination ranks in the 53rd percentile of all tested combos for this game, indicating a solid mid-pack performer that can handle the game’s multiplayer demands without pushing into enthusiast territory. The measured FPS data across resolutions and presets reveals a clear pattern: the system is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, but the CPU has ample headroom at 1080p, making it a balanced choice for most players.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The benchmark data places the Intel Core i5-13400F in a tight cluster of CPUs with nearly identical average scores. The closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284 versus the i5-13400F’s 25292, a negligible delta of 0%. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D both score 25362 and 25365 respectively, each showing a -0.3% delta, meaning they are effectively tied with the i5-13400F in multi-threaded workloads. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201, a 0.4% delta, again placing it in the same performance bracket. For Fivem, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates, so the choice between them should be based on platform features or pricing rather than raw gaming performance.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639, and its nearest rivals are surprisingly older or lower-tier parts. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, a -0.2% delta, while the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, a 0.3% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 and Pro 460 score 17551 and 17509, with deltas of 0.5% and 0.7% respectively. This clustering suggests that in synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4060’s performance profile is comparable to these parts, though the RTX 4060’s modern feature set and driver support will likely yield better real-world results in Fivem. The data indicates that users coming from any of these GPUs would see a similar baseline, but the RTX 4060’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and Ada Lovelace architecture provide a more future-proof experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 1979 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it roughly in the middle of the database. This rank reflects a system that can handle the game at playable frame rates across most resolutions but does not dominate the leaderboard. The CPU’s percentile versus all CPUs is 77, meaning it outperforms 77% of tested processors, while the GPU’s percentile versus all GPUs is 61, indicating it is ahead of 61% of tested graphics cards. The disparity in these percentiles suggests that the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU in this pairing, which becomes evident in Fivem’s scaling behavior: at 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to push high frame rates, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The combo rank of 1979 out of 3707 shows that this is a mainstream-tier setup, capable of delivering smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p, but it will not compete with high-end configurations in 4K Ultra scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system excels: Low settings produce an average of 189.2 FPS, Medium drops to 148.1 FPS, High sits at 121.4 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a strong 92.5 FPS. All presets at 1080p are far above the 60 FPS playable threshold, meaning players can max out the game without worry. At 2560x1440, the performance remains solid but shows the GPU starting to work harder. Low settings yield 127 FPS, Medium drops to 100.6 FPS, High falls to 75.6 FPS, and Ultra barely stays above the threshold at 59.7 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is significant, losing roughly 16 FPS, which highlights the cost of the most demanding preset. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings produce 69.6 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 56.5 FPS, High falls to 43.9 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 32.6 FPS. The data shows that 4K gaming is only viable with Low settings, and even then, the margin above 60 FPS is slim. Across all resolutions, the scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent: roughly a 50% reduction in frame rates from the lowest to highest preset, with the steepest drops occurring at 4K.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 60 FPS on Ultra settings?

A: Yes, but only at 1920x1080, where Ultra settings produce an average of 92.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra drops to 59.7 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold, and at 3840x2160, Ultra is not playable at 32.6 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?

A: According to the data, High settings at 2560x1440 provide the best balance, with an average of 75.6 FPS. This is above the 60 FPS threshold and significantly smoother than Ultra’s 59.7 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 4K?

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck at 3840x2160. The frame rates drop drastically across presets, from 69.6 FPS on Low to 32.6 FPS on Ultra, indicating that the RTX 4060 cannot keep up with the pixel count, while the i5-13400F’s headroom goes unused.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other tested systems?

A: It ranks 1979 out of 3707 combos in Fivem, putting it in the middle of the database. The CPU ranks in the 77th percentile, while the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile, showing a stronger CPU relative to the GPU.

Q: What is the playable settings at 4K?

A: Only Low settings at 3840x2160 are playable, with an average of 69.6 FPS. Medium drops to 56.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so players must stick to Low for smooth gameplay.

Q: Are there any settings where the frame rate exceeds 120 FPS?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 189.2, and with Medium settings it is 148.1. At 2560x1440 with Low settings, the average is 127 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i5-13400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the CPU is the primary driver of performance, as evidenced by the high frame rates across all presets. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p only reduces the average from 189.2 FPS to 92.5 FPS, showing that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to maintain high frame rates even on the most demanding preset. This suggests that the i5-13400F’s 10 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for Fivem’s multiplayer workloads at this resolution. As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert its importance. The frame rates drop more steeply with each preset, from 127 FPS on Low to 59.7 FPS on Ultra, indicating that the RTX 4060’s rendering load is growing. The CPU still has headroom, but the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus start to become limiting factors. At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The frame rates fall from 69.6 FPS on Low to 32.6 FPS on Ultra, a drop of over 50%, while the CPU’s role diminishes. The data shows that at 4K, the RTX 4060 cannot handle the pixel count, regardless of the CPU’s capability. This scaling pattern is typical for a mid-range GPU paired with a strong mid-range CPU: the CPU dominates at lower resolutions, but the GPU takes over as the resolution climbs. For Fivem, players on 1080p displays will benefit more from CPU performance, while those on 4K monitors will need to rely on GPU optimizations and lower presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data provides a clear recommendation for the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which produces an average of 92.5 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, allowing players to enable all visual features without compromising smoothness. At 2560x1440, the best setting is High, with an average of 75.6 FPS. Ultra at this resolution drops to 59.7 FPS, which is just below the playable threshold, so High is the optimal choice for a stable experience. At 3840x2160, the best setting is Low, with an average of 69.6 FPS. Medium at 4K falls to 56.5 FPS, which is not playable, so players must sacrifice visual quality to maintain frame rates. These recommendations highlight the system’s versatility: it can handle the game at maximum settings on 1080p, near-maximum on 1440p, and only minimum settings on 4K. For most users, 1080p Ultra or 1440p High will provide the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, while 4K gaming is reserved for those willing to accept significant graphical compromises.
