How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2501 out of 3707 tested combinations places this system in the 67th percentile of all tested configurations for Fivem. This is a middle-tier ranking, indicating that while the hardware is capable of handling the game at mainstream resolutions, it is not among the top-performing setups in the database.

The i7-13700K's 89th percentile CPU ranking (average score 46881) is substantially stronger than the GPU's 57th percentile (average score 15171). This asymmetry suggests the processor is overqualified relative to the graphics card for this workload. The CPU's multi-threaded performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30745 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 19429, far exceeds what Fivem's engine likely requires.

The RX 7600's 57th percentile GPU ranking places it below the midpoint of all tested graphics cards. Its Passmark G3D score of 16634 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2310 demonstrate moderate DirectX 12 capability. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is a limiting factor at higher resolutions, which aligns with the measured FPS data showing a steep drop at 4K.

When compared to the entire pool of 3707 tested combos, this pairing's 2501st rank means roughly 67% of tested systems perform better in Fivem. This is not a top-tier configuration, but the data shows it handles 1080p and 1440p gaming adequately. The ranking reflects the GPU's mid-range positioning more than the CPU's high-end capabilities.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component dominates in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the RX 7600 is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU's strong single-thread performance (Passmark single-thread score of 4333) can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolution. The 1080p Ultra result of 78.8 FPS versus Low at 159.8 FPS shows the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity are the limiting factors when pixel count is low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The High preset drops to 64.2 FPS from 99 FPS at 1080p, a 35% reduction. This scaling suggests the GPU's memory bandwidth (288.0 GB/s) and 128-bit bus are becoming stressed. The CPU continues to provide sufficient frame data, as evidenced by the i7-13700K's 3DMark max threads score of 12412 and 16 cores / 24 threads configuration.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. The High preset falls to 39.8 FPS, and even Low settings only reach 58.8 FPS. This dramatic drop—from 99 FPS at 1080p High to 39.8 FPS at 4K High—indicates the RX 7600's 8 GB memory buffer and 2048 shading units cannot handle the pixel throughput required at 4K. The CPU's role diminishes as the GPU saturates, though the i7-13700K's 89th percentile ranking ensures it never becomes the primary bottleneck.

The preset scaling within each resolution further clarifies component roles. At 1080p, the gap between Low (159.8 FPS) and Ultra (78.8 FPS) is 81 FPS, showing significant GPU headroom even at the highest quality settings. At 1440p, the same preset gap narrows to 51 FPS (104.4 vs 53.4), and at 4K it shrinks to 33.1 FPS (58.8 vs 25.7). This progressive narrowing indicates the GPU approaches its absolute limit as resolution increases.

The Verdict

The data confirms this system can run Fivem at playable frame rates, but only at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra delivering 78.8 FPS average. This is the recommended resolution for the best visual quality while maintaining smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable at High settings (64.2 FPS), Medium (85.6 FPS), and Low (104.4 FPS). However, Ultra at 1440p drops to 53.4 FPS, which fails to meet the 60 FPS playability threshold. Users prioritizing resolution over quality should stick to High or below at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: this combo cannot run Fivem at playable frame rates. The best result is Low settings at 58.8 FPS, which still falls short of 60 FPS. Medium (48.7 FPS), High (39.8 FPS), and Ultra (25.7 FPS) all deliver unplayable results. 4K gaming with this hardware is not viable for Fivem.

The playable threshold of 60 FPS is met at 1080p and 1440p, with the caveat that 1440p requires dropping to High or lower presets. For a smooth experience with maximum visual fidelity, 1080p Ultra is the sweet spot, offering 78.8 FPS average—a comfortable margin above the threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The i7-13700K's nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (46971, -0.2% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 (47022, -0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX (46654, +0.5%), and the Intel Xeon w3-2535 (46653, +0.5%). These processors would behave nearly identically to the i7-13700K in Fivem, providing comparable single-thread and multi-thread performance. The Ryzen 9 5900's 12-core configuration and the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375's mobile design offer alternative platform choices without meaningful performance differences.

On the GPU side, the RX 7600's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (15199, -0.2%), the AMD Radeon Pro 560X (15082, +0.6%), the AMD Radeon 680M (15270, -0.7%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (15063, +0.7%). These graphics cards would produce nearly identical FPS results in Fivem at each resolution and preset. The RTX 3050 OEM is the most direct competitor, offering the same level of performance with NVIDIA's feature set. The Radeon 680M, being an integrated solution, achieves comparable average scores but may have different driver characteristics.

For users considering alternatives, swapping the CPU to any of its nearest rivals would yield negligible FPS changes in Fivem, as the game's engine is not heavily multi-threaded. Swapping the GPU to the RTX 3050 OEM would produce essentially the same frame rates, meaning the 1080p and 1440p playability verdicts would remain unchanged. The combination of any of these CPUs with any of these GPUs would fall within a narrow performance band, roughly 0.7% above or below the measured results.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving 78.8 FPS average. This is the recommended configuration for full visual fidelity at 1080p. The next step down, High, runs at 99 FPS, providing additional headroom for demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, delivering 64.2 FPS average. While this clears the 60 FPS threshold, the margin is thinner than at 1080p. Medium offers 85.6 FPS for users who prefer a safety buffer, and Low runs at 104.4 FPS for maximum smoothness. Ultra at 1440p is not recommended, as its 53.4 FPS result falls below the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, there is no viable preset. The best result is Low at 58.8 FPS, which narrowly misses the 60 FPS threshold. Medium (48.7 FPS), High (39.8 FPS), and Ultra (25.7 FPS) all produce unplayable frame rates. Users with 4K displays should either lower their resolution or upgrade the GPU to achieve playable performance in Fivem.

The measured FPS data shows diminishing returns at higher resolutions: 1080p Ultra (78.8 FPS) drops to 1440p High (64.2 FPS) and then to 4K Low (58.8 FPS). This progression indicates the system's performance ceiling is firmly at 1080p for high-quality settings, with 1440p viable at reduced presets and 4K entirely off-limits.
