Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a strong showing in Fivem, with measured frame rates that comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold across every tested resolution and settings combination. The data set includes 4K Ultra at exactly 60 FPS average, while lower resolutions reach well over triple-digit averages, indicating that this combo handles the multiplayer title with substantial headroom in most scenarios. Below is a breakdown of the measured performance, followed by analysis of how this combo compares to similar hardware and what it means for practical play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4080 with the i5-13400F produces an average of 77 FPS on High settings, which is 17 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. Dropping to Low settings at this resolution raises the average to 122 FPS, a 45 FPS jump from High, showing that the game scales significantly with texture and detail reductions at 4K. Medium settings yield 96 FPS average, with a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS, indicating that frame pacing remains stable even when the GPU is under moderate load. Ultra settings at 4K produce exactly 60 FPS average, with no min or max data provided, meaning this is the ceiling for this resolution—playable but with no headroom for demanding scenes or heavy multiplayer activity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance increases are substantial. High settings deliver 138 FPS average, which is 78 FPS above the 4K High result, representing a 79% improvement from dropping resolution alone. Low settings at 1440p produce 219 FPS average, while Medium settings hit 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. The minimum of 147 FPS at Medium is still more than double the 60 FPS threshold, so even the worst-case frame dips remain far above playable levels. Ultra settings at 1440p reach 107 FPS average, a 47 FPS increase over the 4K Ultra result, confirming that resolution scaling has a major impact on this title.

At 1920x1080, the combo shows its full potential. High settings average 210 FPS, Low settings average 320 FPS, and Medium settings hit 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 302 FPS. Ultra settings at 1080p produce 163 FPS average, which is 103 FPS above the 4K Ultra result and 56 FPS above the 1440p Ultra result. The 1080p numbers reveal that this pairing is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, but at 1080p the CPU becomes more relevant—still, the i5-13400F's 10 cores and 16 threads provide enough throughput to keep the RTX 4080 fully fed, as evidenced by the 320 FPS Low result.

The pattern across all resolutions is clear: Fivem scales almost linearly with resolution, with 1440p offering roughly 80% higher frame rates than 4K at the same settings, and 1080p offering another 50%+ over 1440p. The min/max data available for Medium settings at each resolution shows consistent frame delivery—at 4K Medium, the spread between min and max is 28 FPS, at 1440p Medium it is 52 FPS, and at 1080p Medium it is 79 FPS. This wider spread at lower resolutions suggests that CPU-side frame time variance becomes more noticeable when the GPU is not the limiting factor, but the absolute minimums remain high.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the i5-13400F sits among several comparable processors in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scores 25284, which is 0% delta from the i5-13400F's average benchmark score of 25292. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25362, a -0.3% delta, meaning it is essentially identical in overall CPU performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25365, also -0.3% delta, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201, a +0.4% delta. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce near-identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same RTX 4080, because the game at 4K and 1440p is mostly GPU-limited. The i5-13400F's advantage in multi-threaded workloads, such as its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604, does not translate into meaningful FPS differences in this title because Fivem's engine does not scale perfectly across many cores, and the GPU becomes the bottleneck first.

For the GPU, the RTX 4080's nearest rivals are close in aggregate performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54209, a +0.1% delta from the RTX 4080's 54247 average benchmark score. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, a -1.1% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, a -2.6% delta, and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, a -2.7% delta. These deltas are all within 3%, meaning that swapping the RTX 4080 for any of these GPUs would produce nearly the same FPS in Fivem at identical settings and resolution. The RTX 4080 SUPER, being the closest rival at +0.1%, would be the most direct alternative—expect the same 77 FPS at 4K High, 138 FPS at 1440p High, and 210 FPS at 1080p High, with differences of less than 1 FPS in most cases.

The practical takeaway is that this combo's performance is representative of a broad class of high-end hardware. If a user already owns a Ryzen 9 6900HS or Ryzen 7 6800H laptop with a discrete GPU, or a desktop with a Ryzen 5 5600X3D, the CPU-side performance in Fivem will match the i5-13400F closely. Similarly, GPUs like the RTX 4080 SUPER or RX 6750 GRE 12 GB will deliver near-identical results in this game. The measured FPS numbers here can be generalized to those configurations with high confidence, given the small deltas in benchmark scores.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals distinct scaling patterns that clarify which component matters more at each resolution. From 4K to 1440p at High settings, FPS rises from 77 to 138, a 61 FPS increase. From 1440p to 1080p at High settings, FPS rises from 138 to 210, a 72 FPS increase. This consistent scaling with resolution reduction indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor at all three resolutions in Fivem. The RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the game's textures and draw distances, and its 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute provides the raw throughput needed for high frame rates.

However, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower settings. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 320 FPS average, which is 210 FPS higher than 4K High. This massive jump can only occur if the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. The i5-13400F's 10 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, provide enough single-thread and multi-thread headroom for Fivem's simulation and networking code, which is typically the bottleneck in multiplayer scenarios. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3634 and Geekbench single-core score of 1996 indicate strong per-core performance, which is crucial for Fivem's main thread.

At 4K Ultra, the combo averages exactly 60 FPS, which is the playable threshold. This is a GPU-bound scenario—the RTX 4080 is fully utilized, and the CPU has spare capacity. Evidence for this is the fact that dropping from Ultra to High at 4K only improves FPS from 60 to 77, a modest 17 FPS gain, while dropping from High to Medium improves from 77 to 96, another 19 FPS. The incremental gains suggest that the GPU's rendering pipeline is the limiting factor, not the CPU. At 1440p Ultra, the average is 107 FPS, which is 47 FPS above 4K Ultra—again, resolution reduction directly translates to GPU workload reduction, confirming GPU dominance.

The opposite is true at 1080p Low, where the 320 FPS result likely approaches the CPU's frame generation limit. The fact that Medium at 1080p drops to 263 FPS, a 57 FPS reduction from Low, shows that even at 1080p, the GPU still has a meaningful impact on performance. But the CPU's role is significant enough that the i5-13400F's nearest rivals, all within 0.4% in benchmark score, would produce indistinguishable results. In summary, the RTX 4080 is the primary driver of FPS at 4K and 1440p, while the i5-13400F becomes more relevant at 1080p and low settings, but neither component is weak enough to cause a bottleneck that drops frame rates below the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 277th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 7.5% of all configurations in the database. This ranking reflects the high absolute performance of both components—the i5-13400F sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, and the RTX 4080 sits in the 86th percentile among all GPUs. The combo rank of 277 with 3707 total combos means that there are 276 configurations that produce higher frame rates in Fivem, but the vast majority of those likely feature more expensive or newer hardware, such as RTX 4090-class GPUs or higher-core-count CPUs.

The ranking is consistent with the measured FPS data. At 4K Ultra, the combo hits exactly 60 FPS, which is the playable threshold—many lower-ranked combos would fail this test. At 1440p Ultra, the 107 FPS average is strong, and at 1080p Ultra, the 163 FPS average is far above what most systems can achieve. The fact that this combo ranks 277th out of 3707 indicates that it is a high-end solution, but not the absolute top tier. For context, the RTX 4080's nearest GPU rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, would likely rank slightly higher due to its +0.1% benchmark delta, but the difference would be minimal in Fivem. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Ryzen 9 6900HS, would not change the ranking significantly because the GPU is the dominant factor in this game.

The combo's percentile positions—CPU at 77 and GPU at 86—show that the GPU is the stronger component relative to its peers. This is typical for a pairing where the GPU is the newer, higher-end part. The i5-13400F is a capable mid-high range CPU, but it is not the top of the Core 13th Gen line. In Fivem, this asymmetry does not hurt performance because the game is not extremely CPU-intensive at 4K and 1440p. The 277th rank out of 3707 is a strong result, and the data suggests that users with this combo should expect smooth gameplay at all settings up to 4K Ultra.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? The answer is yes, at every resolution and settings combination that was measured. The verdict data shows that at 3840x2160, all four tested settings—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, with the best setting being Ultra at an average of 60 FPS. This is exactly at the playable threshold, meaning that 4K Ultra is technically playable but leaves no margin for frame drops in intense multiplayer scenes. If a user wants headroom at 4K, High settings at 77 FPS average would be a safer choice.

At 2560x1440, all settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 107 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, providing comfortable headroom for any gameplay scenario. The minimum FPS at Medium settings is 147, which is still more than double the threshold, so even the worst-case dips remain smooth. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 163 FPS and Low reaching 320 FPS. This resolution is effectively overkill for this combo—even the most demanding preset runs at nearly triple the playable threshold.

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: this PC runs Fivem flawlessly at 1080p and 1440p, and it runs at 4K with the caveat that Ultra presets sit exactly at 60 FPS. For users with a 4K display who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, Ultra at 60 FPS is acceptable. For users who prefer higher refresh rates or want to avoid any risk of dips below 60 FPS, 4K High at 77 FPS is the recommended choice. At 1440p and 1080p, there is no reason to lower settings below Ultra—the combo has ample performance to spare.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. This is the maximum settings this combo can run at 4K while meeting the playable threshold. However, because the average is exactly 60 FPS, any particularly demanding scene—such as a crowded server or a detailed area—could push the frame rate below 60. If you want a safety margin, High settings at 77 FPS average are a better choice, but the data shows Ultra is technically playable.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, with an average of 107 FPS. This provides 47 FPS of headroom above the threshold, meaning that even in heavy multiplayer activity, the frame rate is unlikely to dip below 60. The minimum FPS at Medium settings is 147, which suggests that even at Ultra, the minimum would be well above 60, though no min data is provided for Ultra. Ultra at 1440p is the clear recommendation—it delivers the best visual quality with more than enough performance.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is again the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, with an average of 163 FPS. This is 103 FPS above the threshold, providing enormous headroom. The Low preset reaches 320 FPS, which is useful only for competitive play on high-refresh-rate monitors, but Ultra at 163 FPS is already far beyond what most 1080p displays can show (60Hz, 144Hz, or even 240Hz). The data strongly supports Ultra settings at 1080p as the optimal choice—there is no reason to reduce quality given the frame rates available.
