Fivem

The benchmark data for Fivem on the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination reveals a system with substantial headroom, particularly at lower resolutions, where the CPU becomes the primary constraint on frame rates. The measured FPS values across resolutions and settings describe a configuration that is well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming and capable of smooth 4K experiences, with clear trade-offs between visual fidelity and performance.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 shows a classic pattern where the GPU load increases with pixel count, but the degree of scaling depends heavily on the selected quality preset. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 153.1 FPS at 1080p to 97.6 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 55.5 FPS, and then further down to 53.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a substantial 65% performance loss from 1080p to 4K at Ultra, indicating that at this quality level, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting component, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth being taxed by the higher resolution.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic in absolute terms. The system produces 305.6 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 201.1 FPS at 1440p and then falls to 112.2 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is less than half the 1080p Low figure, confirming that the GPU's raw throughput, which is rated for 44.10 TFLOPS FP32, becomes the bottleneck when the CPU is not heavily loaded by lower quality settings. In contrast, the 1080p Low result of 305.6 FPS appears to be capped by the CPU's single-thread performance, as the i5-13400F scores 960 in 3dmark_single_thread and 3634 in passmark_single_thread, which limits how many frames the CPU can feed to the GPU.

The data shows that the transition from 1080p to 1440p costs about 50% of the frame rate at Low settings, but only about 36% at Ultra settings. This indicates that at Ultra, the GPU is already near its limits even at 1080p, so adding pixels does not proportionally increase the load. For users targeting high refresh rates, the 1440p results are particularly relevant, as the system maintains over 97 FPS even at Ultra, and exceeds 200 FPS at Low, making this resolution the sweet spot for balancing visual quality and speed.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, plays a decisive role in the higher resolution and quality presets. Its 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs provide the computational foundation for the measured results, while the 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores support advanced features that Fivem's multiplayer environments can utilize. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz, up from a base of 2340 MHz, allows it to sustain high throughput during extended gaming sessions, though the 285 W TDP and triple-slot cooler design indicate that adequate airflow is necessary for maintaining these clocks.

The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical asset at 4K resolution where texture data demands are highest. The difference between the 4K Ultra average of 53.1 FPS and the 4K Low average of 112.2 FPS shows that memory bandwidth and capacity are not the limiting factors at low settings, but they become increasingly important as the quality preset increases. The GPU's performance percentile of 86 places it above most other graphics cards in the database, and its average benchmark score of 48704 is within 2% of its nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA RTX A2000 which scores 47915 and the NVIDIA CMP 50HX at 49071.

Interestingly, the GPU's role is less pronounced at 1080p, where even at Ultra settings the system achieves 153.1 FPS. This suggests that the CPU, with its 10 cores and 16 threads running at a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, can keep up with the GPU's output at this resolution. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 7314 and the cinebench_r23_multicore score of 21279 indicate that the i5-13400F has sufficient multi-threaded capability for Fivem's server and client processes, but the single-thread scores are what ultimately cap the 1080p Low result at 305.6 FPS. The GPU is not the bottleneck at 1080p Low; the CPU is, as evidenced by the fact that increasing resolution to 1440p only drops the frame rate to 201.1 FPS, which is still extremely high.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimizing the experience with this hardware combination. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 153.1 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most high-end monitors, while the High preset at 194.9 FPS offers a significant boost with presumably minimal visual differences. For competitive multiplayer scenarios where frame rate is paramount, the Low preset at 305.6 FPS provides the maximum possible responsiveness, but this comes at the cost of visual detail that can affect visibility of distant objects in Fivem's open-world environment.

At 2560x1440, the High preset's 124.3 FPS is the recommended balance, as it comfortably exceeds 120 FPS for smooth gameplay while maintaining enough graphical fidelity for immersion. The Ultra preset at 97.6 FPS is still playable, but the drop below 100 FPS may be noticeable on high-refresh-rate displays. The Medium preset at 157.9 FPS is a strong alternative for users who prioritize frame rate over maximum detail, as it offers a substantial 33.6 FPS improvement over High.

For 4K gaming at 3840x2160, the options are more constrained. The Ultra preset's 53.1 FPS is borderline playable but lacks the smoothness of lower resolutions, while the High preset at 69.4 FPS is more acceptable for immersive single-player experiences. The Medium preset at 89.2 FPS is the best choice for 4K, as it approaches 90 FPS while still providing good visual quality. The Low preset at 112.2 FPS is available for users who want high frame rates at 4K, but the visual sacrifices are substantial. For most users, the 1440p Medium or High presets offer the best overall combination of image quality and performance, as they avoid the steep performance penalties of 4K while still leveraging the GPU's capability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured average frame rates is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the system achieves 305.6 FPS at Low settings, 240 FPS at Medium, 194.9 FPS at High, and 153.1 FPS at Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent reduction of roughly 50 FPS per preset step, though the gap between High and Ultra is slightly smaller at 41.8 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the results are 201.1 FPS at Low, 157.9 FPS at Medium, 124.3 FPS at High, and 97.6 FPS at Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium is 43.2 FPS, from Medium to High is 33.6 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 26.7 FPS, showing that the performance penalty per preset diminishes as quality increases.

At 3840x2160, the system produces 112.2 FPS at Low, 89.2 FPS at Medium, 69.4 FPS at High, and 53.1 FPS at Ultra. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 22.9 FPS reduction, Medium to High is 19.8 FPS, and High to Ultra is 16.3 FPS. The 4K data shows that even at the highest quality settings, the system remains playable, but the frame rates are significantly lower than at 1440p.

The overall combo rank of 200 out of 1792 combinations places this system in the top 11% of tested configurations for Fivem, indicating that it is a high-performing setup. The i5-13400F's average benchmark score of 25236 places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-13620H with a score of 25201 and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D with 25365, are within 0.5% of its performance. Similarly, the GPU's performance is well-established, with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scoring 48704 on average and ranking in the 86th percentile of all GPUs.
