A: The measured data shows an average of 210 FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings. Even at the most demanding Ultra preset, the average remains a very high 163 FPS.

Q: Is the i7-13700K or the RTX 4080 the limiting factor in Fivem?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the primary scaling factor. As resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, average FPS drops significantly across all presets, while the CPU's strong single-thread performance (1136 in 3dmark_single_thread) keeps it from bottlenecking at lower resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Fivem shows a clear pattern: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the component that determines performance scaling, while the Intel Core i7-13700K provides enough headroom to avoid becoming the bottleneck. This is evident when examining the frame rate drop between resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the combo achieves 263 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440, that drops to 173 FPS, a reduction of approximately 34%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 96 FPS, another 45% drop. These are large, consistent declines that align with GPU workload scaling rather than CPU limitations.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo hits 333 FPS average, a figure that stresses CPU throughput. The i7-13700K's 16 cores and 24 threads, combined with a single-thread 3dmark score of 1136, prove sufficient to feed the RTX 4080 at these high rates. The CPU's percentile ranking at 89 and its multi-core scores, such as 30745 in cinebench_r23, indicate there is ample processing power for Fivem's multiplayer logic and physics simulation, which typically rely on a few fast cores rather than many slower ones.

At 4K, the situation reverses. The GPU's workload becomes so heavy that even the RTX 4080, with its 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth, sees average FPS drop to 60 at Ultra settings. The CPU is not the limiting factor here; the data shows that the same CPU can push 333 FPS at 1080p Low, so the 4K bottleneck is almost entirely on the GPU's rasterization and memory throughput. For Fivem specifically, which is a multiplayer modification of a game engine that is not particularly demanding on modern hardware, the RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 76 RT cores are more than adequate for the visual load, leaving the CPU to handle the network and script-heavy aspects of the game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the performance is exceptionally high across all presets. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 333. Medium settings yield 263 FPS average, with a minimum of 223 and maximum of 302. High settings produce 210 FPS average, while Ultra still delivers 163 FPS average. This resolution is clearly where the RTX 4080 has the most headroom, and even the most demanding preset more than doubles the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very strong. Low settings average 219 FPS. Medium settings drop to 173 FPS average, with a minimum of 147 and maximum of 199. High settings average 138 FPS, and Ultra maintains 107 FPS average. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, roughly 20-30% depending on the preset, but all settings stay far above the 60 FPS target, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes steeper. Low settings average 122 FPS, which is still smooth. Medium settings average 96 FPS, with a minimum of 82 and maximum of 110. High settings average 77 FPS. Ultra is the most demanding, averaging exactly 60 FPS. This is the only tested scenario where the combo lands precisely on the playable threshold, leaving no room for frame drops in busy multiplayer scenes. The data suggests that for 4K, High settings (77 FPS) are a safer choice than Ultra if you want a buffer above 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 holds a combo rank of 220 out of 3707 tested configurations in Fivem. This places it in the top 5.9% of all combos, which is an elite standing for a multiplayer game. The CPU's average benchmark score of 46881 and the GPU's average benchmark score of 54247 are both high individually, but the pairing is what matters for this rank.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 scores 46971, a mere 0.2% higher, while the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 scores 47022, 0.3% higher. The Intel chip is essentially on par with these alternatives, meaning any performance difference in Fivem would come from the GPU or game-specific optimizations. For the GPU, the RTX 4080 SUPER is the closest rival with an average score of 54209, just 0.1% lower, so the two cards are virtually interchangeable in benchmark terms. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and Radeon 8060S both score higher (55698 and 55757 respectively), but by less than 3%, which is unlikely to produce a noticeable FPS difference in Fivem given the high absolute frame rates.

The rank of 220 out of 3707 indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of systems tested for Fivem. It is not the absolute top, but it sits well within the performance tier where users can expect maximum or near-maximum settings at any resolution. The data shows that combos ranked higher likely use even more powerful GPUs or newer CPUs, but the practical difference for Fivem is minimal because the game itself is not extremely demanding.

The Verdict

This system can absolutely run Fivem at playable frame rates, with the verdictByResolution data confirming that all four settings presets are playable at every resolution. At 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of exactly 60, meeting the playable threshold. The High preset at this resolution averages 77 FPS, which is a more comfortable margin for multiplayer gameplay where frame drops can occur during heavy script execution or crowded areas.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 107. This provides a substantial buffer above the 60 FPS threshold, and even the most demanding preset is smooth. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings yield 163 FPS average, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor, and the Low preset reaches 333 FPS for competitive play.

The practical verdict is that this combo is overkill for 1080p and 1440p, where it can max out the game with ease. At 4K, it is capable of running Ultra at exactly the 60 FPS threshold, but for a more stable experience, dropping to High settings is advised. The data shows no resolution or preset where this combo fails to meet the playable threshold, making it a reliable choice for Fivem at any display resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages exactly 60 FPS. However, the High preset at 77 FPS average is the recommended choice for a safer margin, as the Ultra setting has no headroom for dips below 60 FPS in busy scenes. The Medium preset at 96 FPS and Low at 122 FPS are also viable for higher refresh rates if you prefer smoother motion over visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, delivering 107 FPS average. This preset is fully playable and offers the highest visual quality while still maintaining a significant buffer above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 138 FPS, Medium at 173 FPS, and Low at 219 FPS are all available if you want even higher frame rates, but they are not necessary for a smooth experience.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 163 FPS. This is the clear choice for maximum quality, as it still provides frame rates well above any standard monitor's refresh rate. For users with 240 Hz or higher displays, the High preset at 210 FPS, Medium at 263 FPS, or Low at 333 FPS can be selected to maximize refresh rate utilization, but the Ultra preset remains the most balanced option for most users.
