CPU and GPU Roles

In Fivem, the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the data shows the system reaching 384.1 FPS on Low settings and 187.3 FPS on Ultra. The substantial difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution indicates the GPU is handling the increased visual load. The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads, combined with its 5.40 GHz boost clock, provide the foundation for high frame rates, but the RTX 5090's raw throughput becomes the primary driver as settings increase.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS on Low drops to 253.3, and Ultra drops to 121.4. This represents a scaling factor of roughly 0.65 from Low to Ultra, which is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's performance remains constant across resolutions, so the drop in FPS comes from the GPU rendering more pixels. The Core i7-13700K scores 12412 in the 3dmark_max_threads benchmark, which provides adequate headroom to feed the GPU at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes even more pronounced. Low settings produce 142 FPS, while Ultra produces 68.5 FPS, a reduction of over 50%. The RTX 5090's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 32 GB of GDDR7 memory are fully utilized here. The CPU's influence diminishes as the GPU takes longer to render each frame. However, the CPU still matters for multiplayer scenarios; the 3dmark_16_threads score of 10717 indicates strong multi-threaded performance for handling game logic and network processing alongside rendering.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings average 384.1 FPS, Medium averages 299.7 FPS, High averages 240.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 187.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 51% reduction in frame rate, which is expected given the increased GPU workload. Every preset here exceeds 180 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, performance remains very strong. Low settings average 253.3 FPS, Medium averages 198.1 FPS, High averages 155.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 121.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 52%, similar to 1080p scaling. All presets comfortably exceed 120 FPS, meaning 144 Hz displays can be fully utilized at this resolution with High or Ultra settings.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable performance at all settings. Low averages 142 FPS, Medium averages 111.1 FPS, High averages 85.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 68.5 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below 70 FPS but remains above the 60 FPS playable threshold. For 4K gaming, High settings provide a smoother experience at 85.5 FPS, while Ultra is viable for players prioritizing visual fidelity over raw frame rate.

The Intel Xeon w3-2535 also scores 46653, matching the Ryzen 9 7845HX. Any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, though the Core i7-13700K offers the LGA 1700 socket platform with DDR4 and DDR5 memory support.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals present an interesting comparison. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605, just 0.3% below the RTX 5090's 79842. The Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79396, a 0.6% delta. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940, 1.1% lower, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 80959, which is 1.4% higher than the RTX 5090. These alternatives would produce similar frame rates in Fivem, though they lack the RTX 5090's modern features like 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and PCIe 5.0 interface.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 39th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the top 1.05% of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's 89th percentile standing among all CPUs and the GPU's 92nd percentile among all GPUs. In practical terms, the combo outperforms the vast majority of systems tested for this game, with only 38 configurations achieving higher average FPS across the tested scenarios.
