Fivem

Best Settings per Resolution

For Fivem, the playable threshold is 60 FPS. At 3840x2160 (4K), the recorded data shows no settings preset reaches that threshold. The best result at 4K is Low settings with an average of 57.8 FPS, which falls just short of playable. High settings average 38 FPS, Medium averages 45.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 26.6 FPS. None of these meet the 60 FPS bar, so 4K is not a viable resolution for this combination if you require smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the situation improves considerably. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High settings, which delivers an average of 65.8 FPS. Low settings average 102.6 FPS and Medium averages 82.4 FPS, both well above the threshold. Ultra settings drop to 52.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target, so you would need to avoid Ultra at this resolution. The data indicates High is the optimal choice for visual quality while maintaining playable frame rates.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), every tested preset clears the 60 FPS threshold. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 77.4 FPS. High settings average 98.4 FPS, Medium averages 126.1 FPS, and Low averages 158.9 FPS. Since Ultra remains comfortably above 60 FPS, you can run the game at maximum settings at 1080p with this hardware. The verdict data confirms Ultra as the best playable setting at this resolution, leaving headroom above the minimum requirement.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component limits performance in Fivem. At 1080p, the frame rates are high across all presets, ranging from 77.4 FPS at Ultra to 158.9 FPS at Low. The spread between Low and Ultra is 81.5 FPS, which suggests the GPU is handling the graphical load without severe bottlenecking. At this resolution, the Intel Core i7-13700K with its 16 cores and 24 threads has ample headroom, as indicated by its strong multi-threaded scores in the database, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30745. The GPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, becomes the more relevant factor when pushing higher presets.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates drop across all presets. Low settings average 102.6 FPS, which is 56.3 FPS lower than the 1080p Low result. This drop is larger than the difference between presets at the same resolution, indicating that resolution scaling is taxing the GPU significantly. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, shows its limits as pixel count increases. The CPU still has plenty of performance to spare, given its high single-thread scores like the Geekbench single-core result of 2529 and Passmark single-thread score of 4333. The GPU is the primary constraint at 1440p, especially at Ultra where the average falls to 52.4 FPS.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck. The difference between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 101.1 FPS, a massive reduction that clearly points to pixel throughput limitations of the GPU. The RTX 2060 SUPER's texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s are simply insufficient for 4K at playable frame rates in this game. The CPU, meanwhile, maintains its performance level, as evidenced by the fact that even at 4K Ultra the frame rate is 26.6 FPS, a reduction that scales with GPU load rather than CPU capability. The data shows that for this combo, the GPU dictates playability at higher resolutions, while the CPU is never the limiting factor in any tested configuration.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows the full range of settings. Low settings produce an average of 158.9 FPS with no recorded min or max values. Medium settings average 126.1 FPS, High settings average 98.4 FPS, and Ultra settings average 77.4 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 32.8 FPS drop, from Medium to High is a 27.7 FPS drop, and from High to Ultra is a 21.0 FPS drop. Each preset tier reduces performance by a consistent margin, and all remain above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the measured averages are lower across the board. Low settings average 102.6 FPS, which is still well above playable. Medium settings average 82.4 FPS, High settings average 65.8 FPS, and Ultra settings average 52.4 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium costs 20.2 FPS, Medium to High costs 16.6 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 13.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 50.2 FPS, showing that every preset level has a meaningful impact on frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops sharply. Low settings average 57.8 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS target. Medium settings average 45.4 FPS, High settings average 38 FPS, and Ultra settings average 26.6 FPS. The difference between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 101.1 FPS, and between 1440p Low and 4K Low is 44.8 FPS. The data shows diminishing returns at 4K, with no preset achieving playable performance. The average FPS figures are the only metrics recorded; the database does not include minimum or maximum frame times for any resolution or setting.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the Intel Core i7-13700K, the nearest rivals in the database are close in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900 scores 46971, which is 0.2% lower than the i7-13700K's average benchmark score of 46881. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 scores 47022, a 0.3% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX scores 46654, which is 0.5% higher than the i7-13700K. The Intel Xeon w3-2535 also scores 46653, matching the Ryzen 9 7845HX within 0.5%. These processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, meaning the frame rates at lower resolutions or with less demanding graphics settings would be comparable. Since the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, swapping the CPU to any of these would not change the playability picture at 1440p or 4K.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, the nearest rivals show similar GPU compute capabilities. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile scores 18159, which is 0.4% lower than the RTX 2060 SUPER's average benchmark score of 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, a 0.5% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, which is 1.5% higher, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% higher. These GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem across all tested resolutions and presets. The small deltas mean that users with any of these alternatives would see the same 4K unplayability, the same 1440p High settings at 65.8 FPS, and the same 1080p Ultra at 77.4 FPS. The RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile of all GPUs, so these rivals represent a tight performance cluster.

A: The combo ranks 2684 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the lower portion of the database. This reflects the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions, despite the strong CPU performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination ranks 2684 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 28th percentile of the database. This rank is driven primarily by the GPU, which sits at the 62nd percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU is at the 89th percentile of all CPUs. The mismatch between a high-end processor and a mid-range graphics card creates a system that excels at lower resolutions but falls short at 4K.

At 1080p, the combo performs competently, with Ultra settings averaging 77.4 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold and allows for maximum visual quality. At 1440p, the system remains playable at High settings with 65.8 FPS, but Ultra becomes unplayable at 52.4 FPS. At 4K, no settings preset achieves playable performance, with the best being Low at 57.8 FPS. The rank of 2684 reflects this limitation: the system is not among the top performers in the database, but it is not at the bottom either, given that it handles 1080p and 1440p well.

Compared to other tested combos, this pairing is in the lower half of the rankings. The data shows that the GPU is the bottleneck for high-resolution play, and users seeking 4K performance would need a more powerful graphics card. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, however, this combo ranks sufficiently well to provide a smooth experience at most settings, with the caveat that Ultra at 1440p and all presets at 4K fall below the playable threshold. The overall rank of 2684 out of 3707 indicates that while the CPU is a strong asset, the GPU holds this combo back in the most demanding scenarios.
