Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D presents a peculiar combination for Fivem, pitting a mid-range 13th Gen processor against a flagship Blackwell GPU. The measured data reveals a system that delivers exceptionally high frame rates, but the performance scaling across resolutions suggests an unusual dynamic between the CPU and GPU that warrants a closer look. Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform, often behaves differently from standard benchmarks, and the results here are no exception.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the RTX 5090 D is rarely challenged. With Low settings, the average FPS hits 320. Moving to Medium settings, the average remains high at 294 FPS, with a minimum of 250 FPS and a maximum of 338 FPS. High settings see a drop to 254 FPS average, while the most demanding Ultra preset still delivers a robust 197 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates begin to show a more pronounced scaling pattern. Low settings yield an average of 265 FPS. Medium settings produce a 209 FPS average, with min and max figures of 178 and 240 FPS respectively. High settings drop to 167 FPS, and Ultra settings settle at 130 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a significant reduction in frame rates, but the numbers remain far above the playable threshold.

The 3840x2160 resolution, or 4K, is where the combination starts to feel the strain, though the results are still impressive. Low settings average 147 FPS. Medium settings average 116 FPS, with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 133 FPS. High settings produce 93 FPS, and the Ultra preset, the most demanding configuration tested, still manages an average of 72 FPS. The data shows a consistent pattern: each increase in resolution or preset level reduces the average FPS, but even the worst-case scenario at 4K Ultra remains playable.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data confirms that every single preset tested at every resolution clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. This means the "best" settings are simply the most visually demanding ones that still perform well. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice, delivering an average of 197 FPS. This provides a significant cushion above the 60 FPS floor, allowing for smooth gameplay with maximum visual fidelity.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also stands as the best option, with an average of 130 FPS. This is a substantial frame rate that leaves ample headroom for any potential dips in complex multiplayer scenarios. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset remains the best setting, achieving an average of 72 FPS. While this is the lowest average of any Ultra setting across the tested resolutions, it still sits comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the system can handle the most demanding configuration at 4K without dropping below playable performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data suggests a complex relationship between the CPU and GPU in Fivem. The Intel Core i5-13400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, shows strong synthetic benchmarks, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, with its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance, is a top-tier graphics card, ranking in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs.

The scaling between resolutions is the key indicator of the bottleneck. When moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS across all settings drops by roughly 30-40%. This is a typical sign of a GPU-bound scenario, where the increased pixel count puts more load on the graphics card. However, the move from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 shows a more dramatic drop, with the Ultra preset falling from 130 FPS to 72 FPS, a reduction of nearly 45%. This steep decline suggests that at 4K, the GPU is being pushed to its limits.

Conversely, the CPU's role is highlighted by the frame rate differences between presets at the same resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 123 FPS (320 vs 197). At 4K, the same comparison yields a difference of 75 FPS (147 vs 72). The smaller delta at higher resolutions indicates that the CPU is less of a limiting factor when the GPU is under heavier load. The benchmark results show the i5-13400F has a passmark single-thread score of 3634 and a multithread score of 25032, which are solid numbers, but the data implies that in Fivem, the GPU becomes the primary driver of performance as resolution increases.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, the Intel Core 5 120, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D. The Ryzen 9 6900HS has a deltaPct of 0, indicating a near-identical average score of 25284. The Intel Core 5 120 is slightly faster with a score of 25362, a -0.3% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D also scores 25365, also -0.3% relative to the i5-13400F. These processors would likely behave similarly in Fivem, with the data suggesting that the i5-13400F is well-matched to its peers in this performance class.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D's nearest rivals are somewhat unexpected. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, a mobile GPU, has a deltaPct of 1.1, with an average score of 76904. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is slightly faster at 78940, a -1.6% delta. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants, which are data center cards, also appear as rivals. The data implies that these alternatives would produce similar frame rates in Fivem, though the gaming-focused Radeon cards are more likely to be relevant comparisons for a consumer build.

The Verdict

This system can absolutely run Fivem. The verdictByResolution data is unambiguous: all four settings presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are listed as playable at all three tested resolutions. The best settings for each resolution are all Ultra, with average FPS figures of 197, 130, and 72 for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. The combination of the i5-13400F and RTX 5090 D ensures that the game not only runs but runs exceptionally well, with even the most demanding preset at 4K maintaining an average above the 60 FPS threshold.

The performance headroom is considerable. At 1080p, the system delivers nearly three times the required frame rate. At 1440p, it more than doubles the threshold. Even at 4K Ultra, the average of 72 FPS provides a comfortable margin. The data indicates that this PC is not just capable of running Fivem; it is capable of running it at maximum settings with high frame rates across all common resolutions.
