Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptional performance in Fivem, with measured data showing every preset at every tested resolution clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The benchmark results indicate a system that is heavily GPU-limited at 4K, but becomes increasingly CPU-bound as resolution drops, with the combination ranking 131st out of 3707 tested combos in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a clear progression across presets. The Low preset produces an average of 135 FPS, while Medium drops to 104.8 FPS, High settles at 83 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 66.8 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 68.2 FPS, indicating that the highest preset exacts a significant toll on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages climb substantially. Low reaches 244.5 FPS, Medium hits 189.7 FPS, High delivers 155 FPS, and Ultra maintains 120 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 124.5 FPS, showing that the GPU still has headroom to absorb the increased load from higher settings.

At 1920x1080, the numbers become extreme. Low averages 321.5 FPS, Medium achieves 288.4 FPS, High runs at 233.2 FPS, and Ultra still produces 182.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 138.7 FPS in absolute terms, but the relative difference shrinks because the CPU begins to limit frame rates at lower resolutions.

Notably, the measured data does not include min or max FPS values, so all analysis relies on average frame rates. The lack of min/max figures means frame time consistency cannot be directly assessed, but the averages alone suggest a smooth experience across all configurations.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals which component dominates. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops from 182.8 FPS to 120 FPS, a reduction of 34%. From 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, Ultra falls from 120 FPS to 66.8 FPS, a 44% decline. This steeper percentage drop at higher resolutions confirms the RTX 4090 is the primary bottleneck at 4K, where pixel throughput demands more GPU resources.

Conversely, the Low preset shows less resolution sensitivity. At 1920x1080, Low hits 321.5 FPS; at 2560x1440, it reaches 244.5 FPS; at 3840x2160, it still manages 135 FPS. The smaller relative drops for Low settings indicate that the i5-13400F is more involved in determining frame rates when the GPU is less stressed. The 321.5 FPS ceiling at 1080p Low likely approaches the CPU's practical limit in Fivem.

Preset scaling reinforces this split. At 3840x2160, moving from Low to Ultra costs 68.2 FPS (from 135 to 66.8), a 50.5% penalty. At 1920x1080, the same preset change costs 138.7 FPS (from 321.5 to 182.8), a 43.1% penalty. The larger absolute penalty at 1080p suggests the CPU can feed the GPU enough frames that the graphics card still matters, but the smaller percentage penalty indicates the CPU is starting to cap performance.

Benchmark scores contextualize this balance. The i5-13400F posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191, while the RTX 4090 achieves a Passmark G3D score of 38194. The CPU's passmark single-thread score of 3634 and multithread score of 25032 show a strong mid-range processor that can keep pace with a flagship GPU in a multiplayer title like Fivem, where server-side logic and draw calls often tax the CPU.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS with a score of 25284 and a 0% delta, the Intel Core 5 120 at 25362 with a -0.3% delta, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D at 25365 with a -0.3% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H at 25201 with a 0.4% delta. Systems using any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, though the i5-13400F's 10-core, 16-thread configuration and 65W TDP are specific to its design.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4090's nearest rivals are the Intel Arc Pro A60 with an average score of 60326 and a 0% delta, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60140 with a 0.3% delta, the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 61896 with a -2.5% delta, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 at 58657 with a 2.9% delta. These GPUs would produce similar frame rates in Fivem, but the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are far above what those alternatives offer.

For a user seeking the exact same experience, swapping the CPU for any of the four listed rivals would change benchmark scores by less than 0.4%, which is negligible in real-world FPS. Similarly, swapping the GPU for the Arc Pro A60 or Pro Vega 48 would yield nearly identical averages, though those cards are professional-oriented parts rather than gaming-focused products.

The Verdict

The data confirms this PC can run Fivem at every resolution and preset tested. At 3840x2160, all four settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 66.8 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. The 2560x1440 results are decisively playable, with Ultra at 120 FPS, High at 155 FPS, Medium at 189.7 FPS, and Low at 244.5 FPS. At 1920x1080, the system is overwhelmingly capable, with Ultra at 182.8 FPS and the lower presets exceeding 288 FPS.

The verdictByResolution data lists all settings as playable at each resolution, with the best settings being Ultra at all three. This means users can max out the game's graphics options without worrying about falling below the 60 FPS threshold. The margin at 4K Ultra is slim (6.8 FPS above the threshold), so frame rate spikes in heavy multiplayer scenarios could theoretically dip below 60, but the average data does not reflect any such dips.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 66.8 FPS. This is the highest visual quality option available in the measured data, and it clears the threshold by a meaningful margin.

At 2560x1440, Ultra again is the best choice, with an average of 120 FPS. This doubles the 60 FPS threshold, providing substantial headroom for demanding scenes or future content updates.

At 1920x1080, Ultra remains the top recommendation, averaging 182.8 FPS. This is over three times the playability threshold, making it impossible to recommend anything less than maximum settings for competitive or casual play.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, Low presets offer 135 FPS at 4K, 244.5 FPS at 1440p, and 321.5 FPS at 1080p, but the data shows no need to compromise given the Ultra settings already exceed 60 FPS everywhere.

FAQ
