Fivem

The data for Fivem with the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER presents a clear picture of a system that is capable but heavily influenced by graphics settings. The measured frames per second (FPS) across resolutions reveal a configuration where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher settings, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded performance ensures a solid foundation. This analysis examines the specific roles of each component, the optimal settings for playability, and how this combination stacks up against other tested systems.

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

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores indicate robust multi-threaded capability, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21279 and a 3DMark max threads score of 7307. This strength is critical for a multiplayer title like Fivem, where server-side logic, asset streaming, and numerous player entities can create significant CPU overhead. The processor’s 20 MB of shared L3 cache and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory further contribute to its ability to handle complex game worlds without stuttering.

In the measured results, the CPU’s headroom is most evident at lower settings and resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 176.9 FPS, suggesting the CPU is capable of feeding frames far beyond typical monitor refresh rates. However, the performance ceiling is not solely CPU-bound; as settings increase, the frame rate drops dramatically, indicating that the GPU is taking over as the limiting factor. The CPU’s 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs places it well above average, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-13620H, performs nearly identically with a delta of just 0.1%. This suggests that the i5-13400F provides ample processing power for Fivem, and users are unlikely to see CPU-related bottlenecks unless they are running at very high frame rates with a more powerful GPU.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit memory bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1605 MHz, boosting to 1770 MHz, and it features 2560 shading units. While not the newest card, its 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs shows it remains a competent performer. The GPU’s influence is clearly demonstrated by the FPS scaling with settings. For example, at 1440p, performance drops from 114.9 FPS on Low to 56.3 FPS on Ultra, a 51% reduction. This pattern is consistent across all resolutions, highlighting that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s compute and memory throughput are the primary constraints when visual fidelity is increased.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a notable consideration for Fivem, which often uses custom assets and high-resolution textures in multiplayer servers. At 4K with Ultra settings, the system manages only 29.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU is struggling to process the increased pixel count and texture load. The GPU’s nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores only 0.5% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 trails by 2.5%, showing that the 2070 SUPER is well-positioned in its performance tier. The data suggests that for a smooth experience, users must be willing to lower settings, as the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates at demanding presets.

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

Analyzing the measured FPS rows, the optimal balance between visual quality and performance depends heavily on the target resolution. For 1080p gaming, the High preset delivers 107.4 FPS, which is excellent for most users, while Medium provides 137 FPS for those with high-refresh-rate monitors. Ultra at 1080p yields 86.3 FPS, which is still playable but offers diminishing returns over High. Given that the jump from High to Ultra costs 21.1 FPS (about 20%), the High preset appears to be the sweet spot for 1080p, providing a high frame rate without the performance penalty of Ultra.

At 1440p, the situation changes. The High preset produces 74.6 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a viable choice. The Medium preset offers 93.6 FPS for those prioritizing smoothness, but the visual difference between Medium and High is often significant. Ultra at 56.3 FPS is borderline, as it falls below 60 FPS, which can be noticeable in a fast-paced multiplayer environment. For 4K, the data shows that even the Low preset only achieves 63.1 FPS, while Medium drops to 51.5 FPS. Therefore, 4K gaming is only feasible with Low settings, and even then, the experience is marginal. The best experience per the measured rows is to play at 1080p or 1440p with High settings, as this offers a strong balance of visual fidelity and performance.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The Intel Core i5-13400F and RTX 2070 SUPER combination ranks 1082nd out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 60th percentile of all systems, indicating that while it is not a top-tier setup, it is firmly in the upper-middle range. This ranking is somewhat surprising given the individual component scores, but it reflects the GPU’s limitations at higher settings. The CPU’s strong performance is somewhat wasted in this pairing, as the GPU cannot keep up with the processing power available. A more balanced system might pair the i5-13400F with a faster GPU to unlock higher frame rates.

The ranking also suggests that many other combinations, likely those with newer or more powerful GPUs, will outperform this setup in Fivem. However, the data shows that this combo is capable of delivering playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, which is a positive sign for users with standard monitors. The fact that it ranks in the top 60% of all combos means it will handle the game comfortably, but users should not expect to push maximum settings at higher resolutions. The bottleneck is clearly the GPU, and any upgrade path would involve a graphics card replacement to see significant improvements.

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

Examining the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 107.4 at 1080p to 74.6 at 1440p, a 30.5% decrease, and then to 40.6 at 4K, a further 45.6% decrease. This exponential drop with increasing pixel count is a hallmark of GPU limitation. The CPU’s performance is relatively consistent, so the frame rate is directly tied to the GPU’s ability to render pixels. At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to produce high frame rates, but as the resolution increases, the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become critical.

The same trend is visible at Low settings, where FPS drops from 176.9 at 1080p to 114.9 at 1440p (35.0% decrease) and then to 63.1 at 4K (45.1% decrease). This consistent pattern across all settings confirms that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting component. Even at the lowest settings, the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K, indicating that the 8 GB of VRAM and the GPU’s compute capacity are insufficient for that resolution. The data strongly suggests that for this combo, 1440p is the practical maximum resolution for a smooth experience, and 1080p is the sweet spot for high refresh rates.

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

The following table details the exact measured average FPS for each resolution and settings combination. The data shows a clear hierarchy, with 1080p offering the highest performance and 4K the lowest.

At 1920x1080, the performance is strong across all settings. Low settings achieve 176.9 FPS, Medium settings reach 137 FPS, High settings provide 107.4 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 86.3 FPS. This resolution is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, as even Ultra settings remain above 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are lower but still playable. Low settings deliver 114.9 FPS, Medium settings produce 93.6 FPS, High settings offer 74.6 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 56.3 FPS. This resolution is viable for 60 Hz monitors with High settings, but Ultra will be borderline.

At 3840x2160, the GPU struggles significantly. Low settings yield 63.1 FPS, Medium settings achieve 51.5 FPS, High settings drop to 40.6 FPS, and Ultra settings produce only 29.3 FPS.
