GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is a Polaris 20 chip built on a 14 nm process, featuring 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs. Its base clock is 1168 MHz, with a boost clock of 1244 MHz. The GPU has a 256-bit memory bus, connecting 4 GB of GDDR5 memory at 1750 MHz, which yields a memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The card is rated for a TDP of 150 W and uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its compute capabilities include 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more prominent as resolution increases. The data shows a clear pattern: at 1920x1080, the system can achieve 77 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 48 FPS on High and 38 FPS on Ultra. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is a significant constraint, particularly at 3840x2160, where the average frame rates fall to 28 FPS on Low and 18 FPS on High. The VRAM capacity and bandwidth are likely insufficient for the high-resolution texture loads typical of Fivem's detailed environments. The GPU's average benchmark score of 28766 places it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, is only 0.4% faster in synthetic tests, which suggests the RX 570 is a capable card for its class, but its limits are exposed by this game's requirements.

The GPU's clock speeds, while modest by modern standards, are not the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence on the final frame rate, as the GPU can often keep up with the demand. However, at 1440p and 4K, the GPU's raw throughput and memory bandwidth become the limiting factors. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a significant drop in performance, and the 4K results are consistently below playable thresholds, indicating that the RX 570 is not suited for high-resolution gaming in this title.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor from the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 20 MB L3 cache. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, with a dual-channel memory bus. The CPU's TDP is 65 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700. Its synthetic benchmark scores are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191. The CPU's average benchmark score is 25292, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, with its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, scoring nearly identically at 25284.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is crucial, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. The data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 77 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at this setting. However, at 1080p with High settings, the average drops to 48 FPS, indicating that the game's draw calls and simulation overhead are demanding on the CPU. The i5-13400F's 10 cores and 16 threads provide strong multi-threaded performance, which is beneficial for a multiplayer environment like Fivem where many entities and scripts are active simultaneously. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz also helps maintain responsiveness in single-threaded tasks.

The CPU's performance in Fivem is further contextualized by its benchmark results. The PassMark multi-thread score of 25032 and the 3DMark 16-thread score of 7314 indicate that the processor can handle heavy workloads. In comparison, the nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, has an average score of 25284, a difference of 0%, meaning they are virtually equivalent in synthetic tests. This suggests that the i5-13400F is not a limiting factor for this combo, but rather that the GPU is the primary constraint. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to push the GPU to its limits, but as resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the CPU's advantage becomes less apparent.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3529 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places the system in the bottom 5% of all tested configurations, indicating that it is a low-performing combo for this specific game. The rank is a holistic measure that considers the balance between CPU and GPU capabilities. While the CPU is strong, the GPU's limitations drag the overall ranking down significantly. The RX 570's 4 GB VRAM and older GCN architecture are major contributors to this low ranking, as Fivem is known to be demanding on both memory capacity and GPU compute power.

The data supports this ranking when examining the measured FPS values. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo produces only 14 FPS, which is far below playable standards. Even at 1080p with High settings, the average is 48 FPS, which is playable but not smooth by competitive standards. The combo's performance is best at 1080p with Low settings, achieving 77 FPS, which is the only configuration that provides a comfortable frame rate. The ranking of 3529 out of 3707 reflects this reality: the system can handle the game at lower settings and resolutions, but it is not a high-performance option.

The CPU's percentile rank of 77% against all CPUs shows that it is a solid mid-range processor, but its performance is wasted when paired with the RX 570 in this game. The GPU's percentile rank of 74% against all GPUs is also respectable, but the combination of the two is less than the sum of its parts in Fivem. The synergy is poor because the game's engine requires both strong CPU and GPU performance, and the GPU is the clear weak link. The ranking serves as a warning to users that this combo is not well-suited for high-fidelity Fivem experiences.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at how this combo performs across different resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 77 FPS on Low, 60 FPS on Medium, 48 FPS on High, and 38 FPS on Ultra. The Medium setting also shows a minimum FPS of 51 and a maximum of 70, indicating some frame pacing variability. These numbers suggest that 1080p is the most viable resolution for this combo, with Low and Medium settings providing smooth gameplay and High being borderline acceptable.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. The average FPS at Low is 50, at Medium is 40, at High is 32, and at Ultra is 25. The Medium setting shows a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 46. This resolution is playable only at Low or Medium settings, and even then, the frame rates are below what most players would consider optimal for a fast-paced multiplayer game. The GPU's 4 GB VRAM is likely being stressed at this resolution, leading to texture streaming issues that impact performance.

At 3840x2160, the performance is largely unplayable. The average FPS at Low is 28, at Medium is 22 (with a minimum of 19 and a maximum of 25), at High is 18, and at Ultra is 14. These numbers are well below the 30 FPS threshold for playability, and the experience would be choppy and difficult to enjoy. The RX 570 is clearly not designed for 4K gaming, and this data confirms that it lacks the raw power and memory bandwidth to handle Fivem at this resolution. The progression from 1080p to 4K shows a consistent decline, with the Ultra setting at 4K being the absolute worst-case scenario for this combo.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with Low settings, which yields an average of 77 FPS. This provides a smooth, responsive frame rate that is ideal for multiplayer gameplay. The Low preset reduces the graphical load on the GPU, allowing the CPU to maintain a high frame rate. This is the only configuration that exceeds 70 FPS on average, making it the clear choice for players who prioritize performance over visual fidelity.

If players want better visuals, the Medium setting at 1080p offers a balanced option with 60 FPS average, along with a minimum of 51 FPS. This is still playable, though the occasional dips below 60 FPS may be noticeable. The High setting at 1080p drops to 48 FPS, which is a significant step down and may result in a less smooth experience, especially in crowded areas with many players. The Ultra setting at 1080p, with an average of 38 FPS, is not recommended for competitive play, as the frame rate is too inconsistent.

At 2560x1440, the only recommended setting is Low, which provides 50 FPS. Medium at 1440p yields 40 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and may be acceptable for casual play but is not ideal. High and Ultra at 1440p are not recommended due to their low frame rates of 32 and 25 FPS, respectively. The 3840x2160 resolution is not viable for any setting, as even Low produces only 28 FPS. The data clearly indicates that 1080p with Low or Medium settings is the best experience this combo can offer for Fivem.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data shows how the combo's performance degrades as resolution increases. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS at Low settings drops from 77 to 50, a decrease of 35%. At Medium settings, the drop is from 60 to 40, a 33% reduction. At High settings, the drop is from 48 to 32, a 33% decrease, and at Ultra, from 38 to 25, a 34% drop. This consistent decline indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the CPU has less impact at higher resolutions.

Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the performance falls even more sharply. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 50 to 28, a 44% decrease. At Medium, it drops from 40 to 22, a 45% reduction. High goes from 32 to 18, a 44% drop, and Ultra from 25 to 14, a 44% decrease. The consistent 44% decline between these resolutions suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute power are saturated, and the 4 GB VRAM is insufficient for 4K textures. The scaling pattern indicates that the RX 570's limitations become more pronounced at higher resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the bottleneck.

At 1080p, the CPU has more influence, as evidenced by the relatively higher frame rates. The i5-13400F's strong single-core and multi-core performance allows it to keep up with the game's demands at this resolution. However, as resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the CPU's advantage diminishes. The data shows that the combo is CPU-bound at 1080p and GPU-bound at higher resolutions. This is typical for lower-end GPUs paired with mid-range CPUs. For users of this combo, sticking to 1080p is the only way to achieve acceptable performance, and even then, settings must be kept at Low or Medium to maintain smooth frame rates.
