Fivem

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is a configuration designed for high-refresh-rate gaming, and the measured data for Fivem confirms this, though with some caveats at the highest resolution. Across the tested spectrum, the combo delivers playable performance at 1080p and 1440p with headroom to spare, while 4K requires a moderate settings cap to maintain smoothness. The following analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, compares the hardware to its nearest rivals, and outlines what settings are viable at each resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured FPS data places this specific CPU-GPU combination at rank 843 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This percentile position indicates that while this is not the absolute top-tier setup for the game, it sits comfortably within the upper quarter of all tested configurations. The rank suggests a system that will handle the game’s typical multiplayer scenarios without becoming a bottleneck in most cases, but it is not the extreme high-end that would push into the top 100 ranks.

The position in the ranking is influenced by both components, but the GPU’s contribution is particularly significant in Fivem, which relies heavily on graphical rendering. The RTX 4070’s benchmark percentile of 81 vs all GPUs, combined with the i7-13700K’s percentile of 89 vs all CPUs, creates a balanced pairing where neither component is drastically weaker than the other. This balance is reflected in the consistent FPS across different preset levels, with the system scaling predictably as settings are lowered or increased.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how the system scales with resolution and settings.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Ultra: 46.4 FPS average — below the playable threshold
• High: 61.9 FPS average — the only 4K preset above 60 FPS
• Medium: 74.8 FPS average
• Low: 96.7 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Ultra: 84.6 FPS average
• High: 106.4 FPS average
• Medium: 133 FPS average
• Low: 171.6 FPS average

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Ultra: 126.6 FPS average
• High: 165.8 FPS average
• Medium: 205.7 FPS average
• Low: 260.5 FPS average

The scaling pattern shows that each step down in resolution provides a substantial boost to frame rates. Moving from 4K Ultra to 1440p Ultra increases the average from 46.4 FPS to 84.6 FPS, a gain of 38.2 FPS. Similarly, moving from 1440p Ultra to 1080p Ultra increases the average from 84.6 FPS to 126.6 FPS, another 42 FPS increase. This indicates that the GPU is a significant limiter at higher resolutions, while the CPU has more headroom to push frames at lower resolutions.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Fivem at playable frame rates for the majority of tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the lowest being Ultra at 126.6 FPS. This makes 1080p the most versatile resolution, allowing users to choose any preset based on their preference for visual quality or maximum frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the system also passes all presets, with Ultra achieving 84.6 FPS. This is a strong result for a high-resolution experience, providing a smooth frame rate while maintaining the highest graphical settings. The margin above 60 FPS is 24.6 FPS, offering some buffer for demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. The Ultra preset fails to meet the playable threshold at 46.4 FPS. However, dropping to High brings the average to 61.9 FPS, which just barely clears the 60 FPS target. This is a marginal pass, and users may experience occasional dips below 60 FPS during heavy multiplayer activity, but the average performance is acceptable. The Medium preset at 74.8 FPS offers a more comfortable margin for 4K gaming.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Fivem’s performance across resolutions. At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The frame rate drops from 96.7 FPS on Low to 46.4 FPS on Ultra, a reduction of 50.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by increased graphical loads at this resolution. The CPU, with its high benchmark scores including a single-thread score of 4333 in PassMark and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 30745, has more than enough capacity to feed the GPU, but the GPU’s rendering limits the overall performance.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The frame rate range from 171.6 FPS on Low to 84.6 FPS on Ultra shows that the GPU still has a significant impact, but the lower resolution reduces the GPU’s workload enough that the CPU begins to play a larger role. The system’s ability to hit 171.6 FPS on Low suggests that the CPU can push high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck.

At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes more prominent. The Low preset reaches 260.5 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s maximum frame generation capability for this game. The scaling from Low to Ultra (260.5 down to 126.6 FPS) is still substantial, but the absolute numbers indicate that the CPU is capable of very high frame rates in Fivem when the GPU has minimal work. The i7-13700K’s strong single-core performance, evidenced by its 3dmark single-thread score of 1136 and PassMark single-thread score of 4333, is well-suited to Fivem’s multiplayer logic, which often relies on single-threaded processing for game state updates.

Overall, the data shows that the RTX 4070 is the limiting factor at 4K, while the i7-13700K provides ample headroom at lower resolutions, making this a well-balanced combo for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring settings compromises.
