Fivem

Fivem’s measured performance on the Intel Core i5-13400F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combo reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution, though the relationship between settings and frame rate is not always linear. At 1080p, the system delivers high frame rates across all presets, but the drop to 4K exposes the GPU’s limitations as the primary bottleneck. The data shows a clear hierarchy where Ultra settings are only viable at 1080p, while lower presets become necessary for smoother gameplay at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a dramatic scaling curve as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 167.2 FPS, but this falls to 109 FPS at 1440p and 60.5 FPS at 4K. That represents a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and another 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline indicates the GPU is the dominant limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s workload does not scale with pixel count.

For High settings, the pattern is similar but less extreme: 102.2 FPS at 1080p, 66.2 FPS at 1440p, and 39.2 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is 36 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is 27 FPS. This suggests that while the GPU is heavily taxed at 4K, the CPU still has headroom at 1080p, where the frame rates exceed what most displays can show. The Ultra preset tells a clearer story: 81.7 FPS at 1080p, 52 FPS at 1440p, and 27.5 FPS at 4K — the latter being barely playable.

The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of pushing frame rates beyond 160 FPS on Low, but the GPU cannot maintain that throughput as resolution climbs. The 4K Low result of 60.5 FPS versus the 1080p Low result of 167.2 FPS shows a 64% reduction, which is far more than the pixel count increase alone would suggest. This is indicative of the RX 7600 XT’s 128-bit memory bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth becoming a constraint at higher pixel counts.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-13400F features 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores show strong multithreaded performance: 21,279 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 7,307 in 3DMark max threads. However, Fivem is known for being sensitive to single-thread performance, and this CPU delivers a single-thread score of 960 in 3DMark, which is moderate compared to its multicore results.

The data suggests that at 1080p Low, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the 167.2 FPS result is well within the CPU’s capabilities. However, the gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p (167.2 vs 81.7 FPS) shows that the GPU is already being pushed hard by the Ultra preset’s additional graphical load. The CPU’s 20 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support (DDR4/DDR5) likely contribute to consistent frame pacing, but there is no measured data to isolate this effect.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13620H (0.1% higher average score) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (0.5% lower), placing it in a competitive mid-range bracket. Its 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is well above average, which aligns with the high frame rates seen at 1080p. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7,314 versus the 2-thread score of 1,880 shows that scaling is not perfectly linear, but this does not appear to hinder Fivem’s performance, as even the most demanding preset at 1080p stays above 80 FPS.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock of 2755 MHz and game clock of 2470 MHz are relatively high, but the memory bandwidth is a known limitation for higher resolutions. The GPU’s benchmark scores show a 63rd percentile ranking, with a Passmark G3D score of 17,132 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,348.

At 4K Ultra, the combo produces only 27.5 FPS, which is 66% lower than the 1080p Ultra result of 81.7 FPS. This massive drop highlights the GPU’s inability to sustain high frame rates at 4K, even with 16 GB of VRAM. The VRAM capacity is not the issue, as 16 GB is ample for most games, but the 128-bit bus limits memory bandwidth, which becomes critical at higher pixel counts. The 4K Medium result of 48.6 FPS is closer to playable, but still below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider smooth.

The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7600 (0.6% higher average score) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (1.9% lower), showing that it sits in a narrow performance band. The 22.57 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is respectable, but the texture rate of 352.6 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 176.3 GPixel/s are moderate. The data implies that the RX 7600 XT is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where its bandwidth is sufficient, but 4K gaming requires dropping to Low or Medium settings to achieve playable frame rates.

FAQ

A: The combo delivers 102.2 FPS at 1080p High and 39.2 FPS at 4K High, a 62% reduction. This is consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor, as the CPU’s performance does not change with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low settings produce 167.2 FPS, Medium produces 131.2 FPS, High produces 102.2 FPS, and Ultra produces 81.7 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 36 FPS drop, from Medium to High is a 29 FPS drop, and from High to Ultra is a 20.5 FPS drop. This shows diminishing returns as settings increase, with each preset level having a smaller absolute impact on performance.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low at 109 FPS, Medium at 84.1 FPS, High at 66.2 FPS, and Ultra at 52 FPS. The drops between presets are 24.9 FPS, 17.9 FPS, and 14.2 FPS, respectively. The relative penalty for each preset level is slightly larger than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is starting to struggle with the higher pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 60.5 FPS, Medium at 48.6 FPS, High at 39.2 FPS, and Ultra at 27.5 FPS. The drops are 11.9 FPS, 9.4 FPS, and 11.7 FPS, respectively. The gaps between presets are more uniform at 4K, suggesting that the GPU is hitting a hard bandwidth limit, and each setting increase has a similar absolute cost.

Comparing across resolutions for each setting, Low settings show the largest absolute drop (167.2 to 60.5 FPS, a 106.7 FPS difference), while Ultra shows the smallest absolute drop (81.7 to 27.5 FPS, a 54.2 FPS difference). This indicates that at Ultra, the GPU is already so taxed that additional resolution has less relative impact.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 102.2 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and smoothness, as it stays well above 60 FPS while providing a significant visual upgrade over Medium. The Ultra preset at 81.7 FPS is also viable for those who prioritize visuals, but the 20.5 FPS drop from High may not justify the extra graphical load on a game like Fivem, where competitive multiplayer often favors higher frame rates.

At 1440p, the Medium preset at 84.1 FPS is the recommended choice, as it remains above 60 FPS and provides a good visual experience. The High preset at 66.2 FPS is acceptable for players who want more detail, but it is closer to the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset at 109 FPS is the best option for competitive play, but the visual compromise is significant.

At 4K, the Low preset at 60.5 FPS is the only setting that achieves playable frame rates, and even this is borderline. The Medium preset at 48.6 FPS may be preferred for visual quality, but it drops below 60 FPS. For most players, 4K gaming with this combo is not recommended, and dropping to 1440p Medium or High will provide a better overall experience than 4K Low.

The data suggests that the best overall experience for this combo is 1080p High, which delivers 102.2 FPS and balances visual fidelity with performance. Players who prioritize frame rate over visuals should use 1080p Medium (131.2 FPS) or Low (167.2 FPS), while those who want to play at 1440p should stick to Medium or Low.
