Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers a dominant performance profile in Fivem, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and settings combination tested except for one specific case. Benchmark data shows that this combination ranks in the 346th position out of 3707 total hardware combinations tested for this game, placing it comfortably in the top tier of systems. The only configuration that fails to hit the playable threshold is 4K Ultra, which averages 57.2 FPS, just under the 60 FPS mark. Across all other tested settings at 4K, and across every setting at 1440p and 1080p, the system substantially exceeds playable performance, with the weakest playable result being 4K High at 74.1 FPS average. This is a system that can handle Fivem with high fidelity at essentially any resolution, with the sole caveat being that maximum settings at 4K require a slight reduction to achieve smooth gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this hardware combination reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system produces exceptional frame rates that range from 157.3 FPS at Ultra settings up to 316.5 FPS at Low settings. The Medium preset delivers 251.4 FPS, while High settings produce 202.1 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is never remotely constrained by the game's demands, and even the most demanding preset leaves enormous headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is approximately a factor of two, showing that the game's settings scale significantly impacts performance, but even the heaviest load does not threaten playability.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high but show the expected impact of increased pixel count. Low settings produce 208.9 FPS, Medium delivers 167.5 FPS, High achieves 128.9 FPS, and Ultra still manages 101.3 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a roughly 30-35% reduction in frame rates across comparable settings, which is consistent with the increased rendering resolution. At 1440p, even Ultra settings maintain a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, with the average sitting at 101.3 FPS, meaning the system has roughly 68% more performance than required for the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes notably. Low settings deliver 115 FPS, Medium produces 91.2 FPS, and High achieves 74.1 FPS. However, Ultra settings drop to 57.2 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The margin at High settings is still a solid 14.1 FPS above the threshold, but the jump to Ultra represents a significant additional load. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a roughly 50% performance drop, from 115 FPS down to 57.2 FPS, which is a steeper decline than seen at lower resolutions. This suggests that at 4K, the Ultra preset introduces rendering costs that push the system past its comfort zone.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS defines the best playable configuration. At 1920x1080, the system can run Ultra settings at 157.3 FPS average, making Ultra the clear best choice. This is the maximum quality preset available, and it still produces frame rates more than 2.5 times the playable threshold. There is no reason to reduce settings at this resolution, as even the heaviest load leaves massive performance headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also represent the best configuration, with an average of 101.3 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS, providing a smooth experience with maximum visual fidelity. The margin is tighter than at 1080p, but still substantial, with roughly 41 FPS of headroom above the threshold. Players can enjoy the full visual experience at 1440p without compromising on settings.

At 3840x2160, the situation requires more careful selection. Ultra settings fall short at 57.2 FPS, so the best playable preset is High, which achieves 74.1 FPS average. This provides a solid margin above the 60 FPS threshold while still delivering high-quality visuals. The step down from Ultra to High represents a significant performance gain, from 57.2 to 74.1 FPS, an improvement of nearly 30%, while the visual difference between these presets is typically less dramatic than the performance delta. Medium settings at 91.2 FPS and Low at 115 FPS remain available for players who prefer higher frame rates over visual fidelity, but High is the optimal balance for 4K play.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Fivem's performance with this hardware combination. The Intel Core i5-13400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, shows strong multi-threaded capabilities in synthetic benchmarks, scoring 22604 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 25032 in PassMark multithread. The GPU, the RTX 5070 Ti, demonstrates its power with a PassMark G3D score of 32974 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6604. The interaction between these components determines the observed frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the system produces extremely high frame rates, reaching 316.5 FPS at Low settings. Such high frame rates suggest that the CPU is playing a significant role, as the GPU has ample headroom at this resolution. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop from 316.5 to 157.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes more involved as settings increase, but even at Ultra, the frame rate remains very high. This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is likely a limiting factor at lower settings, while the GPU becomes more relevant at higher presets, but neither component is severely taxed.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high, with Ultra at 101.3 FPS and Low at 208.9 FPS. The increased resolution places more load on the GPU, as evidenced by the more pronounced drop from Low to Ultra compared to 1080p. The GPU's role becomes more significant at this resolution, but the CPU still has enough capacity to feed the GPU at these frame rates. The data suggests a balanced workload, with both components contributing to the overall performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU clearly becomes the dominant factor. The frame rates drop substantially compared to lower resolutions, with Ultra falling to 57.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a drop from 115 to 57.2 FPS, a reduction of roughly 50%, which is the largest relative drop across all resolutions. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is heavily loaded, and its capabilities are the primary determinant of performance. The CPU, while still important, has less influence at this resolution because the GPU is struggling to keep up with the rendering demands. The fact that the system can still achieve 74.1 FPS at High settings at 4K shows that the GPU has significant power, but the Ultra preset at this resolution simply requires more than the RTX 5070 Ti can deliver.
