Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers a benchmark profile that is decisively capable for Fivem, with measured results showing triple-digit frame rates across nearly every configuration tested. The data indicates that this combination is not merely playable but overwhelmingly so, pushing average FPS well beyond the 60 FPS threshold even at the most demanding settings and resolution. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance figures, optimal settings, and how this specific hardware pairing stacks up against other tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a complete picture of performance scaling. At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high across the board. The Low preset averages 321.7 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this pairing. Moving to Medium yields 291.6 FPS, while High drops to 240.9 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still maintains an average of 188.7 FPS. This demonstrates that at 1080p, the system is never remotely constrained, with even the heaviest settings leaving a massive margin over the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains extremely strong, though the scaling shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. The Low preset averages 252.3 FPS, while Medium produces 196.2 FPS. High settings deliver 155.8 FPS, and Ultra remains well above the 60 FPS mark at 119.7 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p sees a reduction of roughly 20-30% depending on the preset, but the absolute numbers are still far beyond what would cause any concern for smooth gameplay.

The 3840x2160 results show the most significant drop, which is typical for 4K rendering. The Low preset still yields a playable 137.9 FPS, while Medium is close behind at 109.9 FPS. High settings average 87.4 FPS, and Ultra dips to 66.4 FPS. This is the only configuration measured where the average FPS approaches the 60 FPS threshold, but it still clears it by a comfortable margin. The data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern: as resolution increases, frame rates decrease proportionally, with the gap between presets widening at higher pixel counts.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured FPS data and the 60 FPS playability threshold, the best settings for each resolution are determined by identifying the most demanding preset that maintains an average at or above that threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear winner. With an average of 188.7 FPS, it is not only the best playable setting but also the maximum quality option available. There is no reason to compromise on visual fidelity at this resolution, as the performance headroom is enormous.

For 2560x1440, Ultra is again the recommended setting. The average of 119.7 FPS at Ultra provides a fluid experience with no risk of dropping below the playable threshold. Even if there are occasional dips in demanding multiplayer scenes, the average performance leaves enough margin that the game should remain smooth.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset remains the best choice, but with a caveat. The average of 66.4 FPS is the lowest recorded in the entire dataset, and while it technically clears the 60 FPS threshold, it is the closest call. For players who prioritize a larger safety margin over maximum visual quality, the High preset at 87.4 FPS is a more conservative alternative. However, based strictly on the measured averages, Ultra is the best setting that stays above 60 FPS at 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU in this combo provide context for what other hardware might behave similarly in Fivem. For the Intel Core i5-13400F, the closest alternatives in terms of average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS with a delta of 0%, the Intel Core 5 120 at -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D also at -0.3%. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H is slightly ahead at 0.4%. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. For Fivem, which is often sensitive to single-thread performance in multiplayer environments, the i5-13400F's single-thread score of 960 in 3DMark and 3191 in Cinebench R23 positions it as a strong performer, and these rivals would be statistically indistinguishable in practice.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has nearest rivals that are less directly comparable due to their differing architectures. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB shows a delta of 0.3%, while the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB is at 0.6%. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT trails by 1.1%, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X is ahead by -1.4% (meaning the RTX 5090 is slightly behind). These deltas are small, but the Tesla P100 cards are datacenter-focused products without the same gaming-oriented feature set. In practical terms for Fivem, the RTX 5090's performance in the measured FPS data far exceeds what these rivals would likely deliver in a gaming workload, despite the similar average benchmark scores.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this PC can run Fivem at a level that far exceeds playability requirements. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four settings presets are playable at every resolution tested. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 188.7 FPS, which is over three times the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra maintains 119.7 FPS, providing a high-refresh-rate experience without any compromises. At 3840x2160, Ultra still achieves 66.4 FPS, which is above the threshold but with less headroom than the lower resolutions.

For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V, the importance of high frame rates cannot be overstated. The data shows that this combo is not just capable of running the game, but of running it at maximum settings with performance to spare. The only scenario where a player might want to reduce settings is at 4K Ultra, where the 66.4 FPS average is close enough to the threshold that a drop to High (87.4 FPS) could provide additional stability in crowded multiplayer servers.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component carries more weight in Fivem. The data shows a clear pattern: the GPU becomes more dominant as resolution increases, while the CPU's role is more pronounced at lower resolutions and higher frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the difference between the Low preset (321.7 FPS) and Ultra (188.7 FPS) is 133 FPS, a substantial gap that highlights the GPU's ability to render the additional effects and geometry demanded by higher quality settings. However, the sheer magnitude of these numbers—even at Ultra, the frame rate exceeds what most high-refresh monitors can display—suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to maintain these levels.

At 2560x1440, the gap between Low (252.3 FPS) and Ultra (119.7 FPS) narrows to 132.6 FPS, which is nearly identical to the 1080p spread. This consistency indicates that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck when increasing quality settings, as the CPU has enough headroom to keep up.

At 3840x2160, the performance drop becomes more pronounced. The gap between Low (137.9 FPS) and Ultra (66.4 FPS) is 71.5 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms but represents a larger percentage reduction. This is where the GPU's rendering load becomes the dominant factor. The RTX 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are being fully utilized at this resolution, and the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

The benchmark data indicates that Fivem is a game where both components matter, but the GPU takes precedence at higher resolutions. The CPU's 10 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, provide ample single-thread performance for the game's simulation and network code, while the GPU's massive compute resources handle the visual output. For players at 1080p or 1440p, the CPU is more likely to be the limiting factor in high-FPS scenarios, but even then, the i5-13400F's performance is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested combos for Fivem, this pairing ranks 91st out of 3707 combinations. This places it in the top 2.5% of all tested systems, which is an exceptional result. The rank of 91 is particularly notable given that the GPU is an RTX 5090, a flagship product, while the CPU is a mid-range offering. This suggests that Fivem is not exceptionally demanding on the CPU, and the GPU's raw power is the primary driver of this high ranking.

The percentile data reinforces this: the CPU ranks in the 77th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 92nd percentile against all GPUs. The GPU is clearly the stronger component in this pairing, and the combo rank reflects that the RTX 5090's performance is what pushes this system into the upper echelons of Fivem benchmarks.
