Fivem

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT shows a classic scaling pattern in Fivem, where the performance gap between 1080p and 4K is substantial. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 243.9 FPS, but this drops to 156.2 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 87 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 64.3% reduction in frame rate from 1080p Low to 4K Low, indicating that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as resolution climbs. The pattern is consistent across all settings: High settings yield 150.7 FPS at 1080p, 98.1 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K, showing a 64.8% drop from the lowest to highest resolution tested.

The scaling behavior reveals that this combo is well-balanced at 1080p but becomes increasingly GPU-limited at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 243.9 FPS result suggests the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but the 4K Low figure of 87 FPS indicates the RX 6800 XT is working near its limits. The differential between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution also grows with resolution: at 1080p, the spread is 124.7 FPS (from 119.2 to 243.9), while at 4K the spread narrows to 41.9 FPS (from 45.1 to 87). This compressed range at 4K confirms that the GPU is the limiting component there, as even dropping to Low cannot fully compensate for the pixel count increase.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader benchmark database, this combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT achieves a combo rank of 617 out of 1792 tested combinations for Fivem. This places it in the top 34.4% of all combos tested for this game, which is a respectable position given the mix of hardware configurations. The CPU itself sits at the 82nd percentile among all processors tested, while the GPU ranks at the 87th percentile among all graphics cards, suggesting the pairing is well matched in terms of overall capability.

The CPU's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scores include the Intel Core i7-13620H (0.1% ahead), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (0.5% behind), AMD EPYC 9474F (0.5% ahead), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (0.5% ahead). These deltas are minimal, meaning the i5-13400F's processing power is essentially on par with these alternatives in general workloads. For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the Intel Arc A550M (0.5% ahead), NVIDIA RTX A1000 (1.7% behind), NVIDIA CMP 50HX (1.9% behind), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (2.6% behind). The RX 6800 XT holds a slight edge over three of these four rivals in aggregate benchmarks, with only the Arc A550M edging it out by a tiny margin.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT brings substantial graphics resources to Fivem, with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1825 MHz, a game clock of 2015 MHz, and a boost clock of 2250 MHz, with memory running at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 288.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 648.0 GTexel/s, capabilities that directly influence how the card handles the rendering load in Fivem's open-world multiplayer environments.

The GPU's 4608 shading units and 128 ROPs are well-suited to Fivem's draw calls and scene complexity. Benchmark results show the card achieves a Passmark G3D score of 24980 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3689, with a Vulkan score of 152200 and an OpenCL score of 154506 in Geekbench. The 72 ray accelerators provide some future-proofing, though Fivem's current rendering paths do not heavily leverage ray tracing. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is generous for this game, ensuring that texture streaming and high-resolution assets do not encounter memory bottlenecks even at 4K Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. Starting at 1920x1080, the combo delivers 243.9 FPS on Low, 192 FPS on Medium, 150.7 FPS on High, and 119.2 FPS on Ultra. These figures show a steady decline as settings increase, with the Ultra preset costing 51.1% of the Low preset's performance. At 2560x1440, the results are 156.2 FPS on Low, 127.2 FPS on Medium, 98.1 FPS on High, and 78 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p averages around 35-38% across settings, with Low being the most affected at 35.9% reduction.

At 3840x2160, the performance further declines to 87 FPS on Low, 70.8 FPS on Medium, 53 FPS on High, and 45.1 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is particularly telling, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider playable. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows reductions of 44.3% for Low, 44.3% for Medium, 46.0% for High, and 42.2% for Ultra. These consistent reductions across all settings reinforce that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the relative performance loss is similar regardless of quality level.

FAQ

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 150.7 FPS offers an excellent balance between visual quality and performance, with headroom above 144 Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 119.2 FPS remains playable and provides the best visual fidelity, though it sacrifices about 21% of the High preset's frame rate. For players prioritizing maximum smoothness, the Medium preset at 192 FPS is a strong choice, as it still delivers high visual quality while nearly doubling the Ultra preset's frame rate.

At 1440p, the High preset at 98.1 FPS is the recommended sweet spot, as it stays above 90 FPS while providing good graphical detail. The Medium preset at 127.2 FPS is preferable for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, while the Ultra preset at 78 FPS is borderline for competitive play but acceptable for casual sessions. For 4K, the Low preset at 87 FPS is the only option that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, making it the practical choice for 4K gaming. The Medium preset at 70.8 FPS is viable for players who can tolerate slightly lower frame rates, but High and Ultra at 53 FPS and 45.1 FPS respectively are not recommended for smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F contributes 10 cores and 16 threads to this combo, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This Raptor Lake architecture processor features a 20 MB shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 cache per core, alongside 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The CPU's 65 W TDP is modest for a desktop part, and its 3DMark scores show strong scaling: 1880 for 2 threads, 3459 for 4 threads, 5591 for 8 threads, and 7314 for 16 threads. The single-thread score of 960 and max-thread score of 7307 indicate that the processor maintains efficiency as thread count increases.

In Cinebench, the CPU achieves 302 points in R15 single-core, 2144 in R15 multi-core, 1261 in R20 single-core, 8937 in R20 multi-core, 3004 in R23 single-core, and 21279 in R23 multi-core. Geekbench results show 2301 for single-core and 10971 for multi-core. These synthetic benchmarks translate to Fivem performance where the CPU's 16 threads handle the multiplayer simulation and scripting workloads effectively, as evidenced by the 243.9 FPS result at 1080p Low. The processor's 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs and its average benchmark score of 25236 place it slightly below the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365) but above the Intel Core i7-13620H (25201), confirming its capability to support the RX 6800 XT without becoming a limiting factor in most scenarios.
