# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core i5-13400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a robust Fivem experience across all tested resolutions, with the data showing a system that scales predictably from 1080p to 4K. At 1920x1080, the pair achieves 260 FPS on Low settings, while 4K Ultra still maintains a playable 47 FPS average. The measured results place this combo at rank 851 out of 3707 tested combinations, positioning it in the top 23% of all configurations in the database. This analysis breaks down the resolution scaling, component roles, and settings recommendations based strictly on the measured frame rate data.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that transitions from CPU-bound at lower resolutions to GPU-bound at higher ones. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 260 FPS at 1920x1080 to 171 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 89 FPS, then further to 95 FPS at 3840x2160, another 76 FPS drop. The scaling pattern across all settings shows that the most significant performance penalty occurs when moving from 1440p to 4K, with High settings dropping from 108 FPS to 60 FPS — a 48 FPS decline that represents a 44% loss. This steep falloff at 4K indicates the RTX 4070's 12 GB GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are increasingly stressed as pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

The resolution scaling behavior differs noticeably between settings tiers. At Low settings, the 1080p to 1440p transition costs 89 FPS, but the 1440p to 4K transition costs only 76 FPS, suggesting that at Low quality, the CPU's single-thread performance becomes a limiting factor even at 1440p. The Intel Core i5-13400F, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz and a single-thread 3dmark score of 960, appears to cap performance around the 171 FPS mark at 1440p Low. Conversely, at Ultra settings, the 1440p to 4K drop is 37 FPS (from 84 to 47), which is proportionally smaller than the Low settings drop, confirming that Ultra quality shifts the bottleneck firmly to the GPU.

The Medium settings row provides the only complete min/max data across all resolutions, offering insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the average is 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236 FPS, a 61 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 135 FPS with min/max of 115/156 FPS, a narrower 41 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 75 FPS with min/max of 64/86 FPS, a 22 FPS spread. This tightening variance at higher resolutions indicates that frame pacing becomes more consistent when the GPU is the primary constraint, whereas at 1080p, CPU scheduling and game logic variability introduce larger frame time fluctuations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, and its specifications directly explain the observed performance tiers. The GPU features 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, with a boost clock of 2475 MHz. The 12 GB GDDR6X memory operates at 1313 MHz with a 192-bit bus width, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications position the card at the 81st percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 37648.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant for Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform that often loads extensive custom content. The 12 GB capacity provides ample headroom for high-resolution textures, and the measured data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the card maintains a 47 FPS average despite the demanding pixel throughput. The pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s are directly taxed by the increasing resolution and quality settings, explaining why Ultra settings at 4K produce less than half the frame rate of Low settings at 1080p (47 vs 260 FPS).

The RTX 4070's Ada Lovelace architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 35,800 million transistors, delivers 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This raw compute capability is evident in the 4K High result of 60 FPS, which represents a playable experience for most users. The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (deltaPct 0.4), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (deltaPct -1.3), indicating that the desktop RTX 4070 sits in a competitive performance band. The 200 W TDP and dual-slot form factor suggest thermal headroom for sustained gaming loads, though the measured data does not include thermal throttling metrics.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS values, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 205 FPS average, which is 55 FPS higher than High and 77 FPS higher than Ultra, while still providing superior visuals to Low's 260 FPS. The Medium setting also provides the only complete min/max data, showing a minimum of 175 FPS at 1080p — well above typical 144 Hz display refresh rates. At 1440p, Medium achieves 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 FPS, comfortably exceeding 100 FPS for smooth gameplay on high-refresh monitors.

For 4K users, the choice becomes more nuanced. Medium at 3840x2160 produces a 75 FPS average with a 64 FPS minimum, which is playable on 60 Hz displays but may struggle on 120 Hz panels. High at 4K drops to 60 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 47 FPS. The data suggests that 4K gaming on this combo is best served by Medium settings, as the 75 FPS average provides a 25% improvement over High while maintaining a minimum above 60 FPS. Low settings at 4K achieve 95 FPS, but the visual compromise may not be worth the 20 FPS gain over Medium.

The Ultra preset demonstrates the steepest performance cost, with 128 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K. These numbers indicate that Ultra is viable for 1080p high-refresh gaming but becomes marginal at 1440p for competitive play and barely playable at 4K. For users prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity, Low settings deliver extraordinary performance — 260 FPS at 1080p and 171 FPS at 1440p — making this preset suitable for esports-style play within Fivem's multiplayer environments.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full settings spectrum shows a clear hierarchy. Low settings produce 260 FPS average, Medium delivers 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236 FPS, High achieves 164 FPS, and Ultra drops to 128 FPS. The 132 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p demonstrates the significant impact of quality presets on this resolution, with each step from Low to Medium to High representing roughly a 55 FPS and 41 FPS decline respectively, while the High to Ultra step costs 36 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the measured values scale proportionally but with a compressed range. Low settings achieve 171 FPS, Medium delivers 135 FPS with min/max of 115/156 FPS, High produces 108 FPS, and Ultra yields 84 FPS. The total spread between Low and Ultra narrows to 87 FPS at 1440p, compared to 132 FPS at 1080p, indicating that the GPU begins to assert greater influence over performance as resolution increases. The Medium preset's 115 FPS minimum remains above 100 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 1440p gaming.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings produce 95 FPS, Medium delivers 75 FPS with min/max of 64/86 FPS, High achieves 60 FPS, and Ultra drops to 47 FPS. The 48 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is less than half the 1080p spread, reflecting the GPU-bound nature of 4K rendering. The Medium preset's 64 FPS minimum is the only 4K configuration that maintains a floor above 60 FPS, while High's 60 FPS average sits right at the 60 Hz threshold and Ultra's 47 FPS average may cause noticeable stutter on standard displays.
