Fivem

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust performance profile in Fivem, with measured frame rates that comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold across most resolution and settings combinations. The data shows a system capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and 1080p, while 4K remains viable with adjusted settings, reflecting a strong balance between the 16-core Raptor Lake processor and the Ada Lovelace GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the benchmark results show a clear scaling hierarchy across the four tested presets. Low settings produce an average of 106 FPS, which drops to 84 FPS on Medium with a minimum of 71 FPS and a maximum of 96 FPS. High settings yield 67 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 52 FPS average, dipping below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The lack of min/max data for Low, High, and Ultra presets limits frame-time analysis, but the Medium preset’s range indicates a spread of 25 FPS between its lowest and highest recorded frames.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance envelope expands significantly. Low settings reach 191 FPS average, Medium hits 151 FPS with a 128-173 FPS range, High achieves 120 FPS, and Ultra maintains 93 FPS. None of these averages approach the 60 FPS floor, suggesting substantial headroom even at the most demanding preset. The Medium preset’s 45 FPS delta between min and max suggests some scene-dependent variability, but the overall averages remain high.

At 1920x1080, the combination becomes exceptionally fast. Low settings produce 290 FPS average, Medium delivers 229 FPS with a 194-263 FPS range, High reaches 183 FPS, and Ultra still holds 142 FPS. The Medium preset’s 69 FPS spread between min and max is the largest observed in the dataset, indicating that multiplayer scenes with many players or complex scripted events can cause notable frame dips, though even the minimum remains far above playable levels.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts across this hardware combination. Comparing 1080p Ultra at 142 FPS to 4K Ultra at 52 FPS shows a 63% reduction in average frame rate, indicating that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as pixel count rises. At 1080p, the 290 FPS Low preset result suggests the RTX 4070 SUPER is well ahead of the CPU’s ability to feed frames, making the i7-13700K the limiting factor at lower resolutions and lighter settings.

The picture changes at higher resolutions. From 1440p to 4K at High settings, the average drops from 120 FPS to 67 FPS, a 44% decrease that aligns with the roughly 2.25x pixel increase, pointing to GPU-bound behavior. At 4K Medium, the 84 FPS average versus 151 FPS at 1440p Medium shows a similar pattern, with the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth — 504.2 GB/s on a 192-bit bus — becoming the primary constraint.

The CPU’s role is more evident at 1080p. The i7-13700K’s 24 threads and 5.40 GHz boost clock provide ample single-thread performance, as reflected in its 3dmark single-thread score of 1136 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2116. However, the data implies that Fivem’s engine, which often relies on a few heavily loaded threads for simulation and netcode, still caps performance below what the GPU could theoretically deliver at 1080p Low. The gap between 1080p Low at 290 FPS and 1440p Low at 191 FPS — a 34% drop for a 78% increase in pixels — further supports the CPU limiting at lower resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, achieving an average of 67 FPS. Ultra drops to 52 FPS, so users targeting 4K should stick with High for consistent playability. Medium remains an option at 84 FPS if higher frame rates are preferred over visual fidelity.

For 2560x1440, Ultra is the best settings choice, delivering 93 FPS average. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a 55% margin, providing smooth gameplay while maximizing visual quality. The 120 FPS High preset and 151 FPS Medium preset offer alternatives for competitive play or higher refresh rate displays.

At 1920x1080, Ultra runs at 142 FPS average, making it the recommended preset for maximum quality without sacrificing playability. The 183 FPS High and 229 FPS Medium presets cater to users with 240 Hz or higher refresh monitors, while Low at 290 FPS approaches the theoretical limit of most displays and introduces CPU-bound behavior.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 scores an average of 46971, which is 0.2% lower than the i7-13700K’s 46881 average benchmark score. This places the two processors within a negligible performance delta, suggesting nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 sits 0.3% behind at 47022, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX is 0.5% ahead at 46654, with the Intel Xeon w3-2535 also 0.5% ahead at 46653. These sub-1% differences mean swapping the i7-13700K for any of these rivals would produce imperceptible changes in gameplay, keeping FPS within a couple of frames.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER’s nearest rivals show similar clustering. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, just 0.1% below the 4070 SUPER’s 43223 average. The GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is 0.1% behind at 43268, the Quadro M6000 is 0.2% behind at 43301, and the RTX 4090 Mobile leads by 1% at 43667. These deltas translate to roughly one to four FPS differences in Fivem’s measured scenarios, meaning users with these alternatives would experience nearly identical performance, though the mobile variants may have thermal constraints not reflected in synthetic scores.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem with strong results across all tested resolutions. At 3840x2160, the verdict confirms playable settings include High, Low, and Medium, with High providing the best visual quality at 67 FPS average. Ultra falls short at 52 FPS, so 4K users must compromise on settings.

At 2560x1440, all four presets clear 60 FPS, and Ultra at 93 FPS is the recommended choice for the full experience. The 120 FPS High preset offers a comfortable margin for high-refresh displays. At 1920x1080, every preset stays well above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 142 FPS delivering smooth performance and Low at 290 FPS suitable for extreme refresh rates.

The data indicates this hardware combination is GPU-limited at 4K, CPU-limited at 1080p, and well-balanced at 1440p. For users with 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitors, the 1440p Ultra preset at 93 FPS may require moderate settings adjustments to max out refresh rates, but the base playability is never in question.

How This Combo Ranks

In Fivem, this Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 606 out of 3707 tested combos, placing it in the top 16.4% of systems in the database. This percentile reflects the hardware’s ability to maintain high frame rates at 1440p and 1080p, though the 4K Ultra preset’s 52 FPS result prevents a higher ranking.

The rank suggests that while this system is capable, a significant number of tested combinations outperform it, likely featuring more powerful GPUs like the RTX 4090 Mobile (which scores 1% higher) or CPUs with better multi-threaded performance for Fivem’s server-side simulation. The 16-core i7-13700K with a passmark multithread score of 45887 and the GPU’s 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 throughput provide a solid foundation, but the 4K Ultra limitation and the CPU-bound behavior at 1080p indicate that other combinations with faster single-thread performance or higher memory bandwidth could achieve better results in specific scenarios.

For users prioritizing 1440p gaming at maximum settings, this rank of 606 out of 3707 represents excellent value within the tested pool. The gap between the 4K High 67 FPS and 4K Ultra 52 FPS results — a 15 FPS difference — shows the hardware’s limits at the highest resolution, which is the primary factor holding back a higher ranking. Overall, the data positions this combo as a strong mid-to-high-tier performer in Fivem, with clear strengths at mainstream resolutions and manageable compromises at 4K.
