Fivem

Fivem, as a multiplayer modding platform, presents unique performance demands that differ from typical single-player titles. The benchmark data for the Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER reveals a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but capable of delivering extremely high frame rates at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured performance to determine optimal settings and the role each component plays.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy of performance across four presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. At 1920x1080, the system produces an average of 321.9 FPS on Low, 259.1 FPS on Medium, 207.5 FPS on High, and 159 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that even at the most demanding preset, the system far exceeds the refresh rate capabilities of most high-end monitors. The jump from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 48.5 FPS, a 23% reduction, which is a significant trade-off for the marginal visual gains typically associated with the Ultra preset in multiplayer environments.

For 2560x1440, the results show 218.1 FPS on Low, 172.3 FPS on Medium, 133.9 FPS on High, and 108.6 FPS on Ultra. The data suggests that the High preset at 1440p is the optimal balance for competitive play, as it maintains an average above 130 FPS, which is smooth for fast-paced scenarios. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops below 110 FPS, which may introduce perceptible input lag on high refresh rate displays.

At 3840x2160, the performance landscape changes dramatically. The system delivers 121.4 FPS on Low, 93.4 FPS on Medium, 75.1 FPS on High, and 60.8 FPS on Ultra. For 4K gaming, the High preset is the recommended choice. It provides a stable 75 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while the Ultra preset dips to 60.8 FPS, leaving almost no headroom for demanding multiplayer scenes with many players or complex vehicle physics. The data strongly indicates that sticking with High settings across all resolutions provides the most consistent and playable experience without sacrificing the visual fidelity that makes Fivem's custom assets appealing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this configuration for Fivem, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process and features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. Its memory clock is rated at 1438 MHz, with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz. The card has 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, alongside 80 RT cores and 320 Tensor cores.

The benchmark results show that this GPU is exceptionally powerful, with a percentile of 88 against all GPUs. In Fivem, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU's performance scales predictably with resolution. At 1080p, the Ultra preset achieves 159 FPS, which is 2.6 times the 60.8 FPS seen at 4K Ultra. This scaling confirms that the GPU is fully utilized and is the primary driver of performance changes when altering settings. The 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for Fivem's custom textures and mods, as the data does not indicate any memory-related bottlenecks even at 4K. The GPU's raw compute power, evidenced by its FP32 rating of 52.22 TFLOPS, ensures that even the most asset-heavy multiplayer servers will not be constrained by rendering throughput.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER holds a rank of 116 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the top 6.5% of all configurations tested for this game, which is a strong result. The high ranking is primarily driven by the GPU's excellent performance, as the CPU is a mid-range part that does not bottleneck the system at standard gaming resolutions.

The data shows that this combo performs exceptionally well compared to the broader database. The CPU's percentile of 82 against all CPUs indicates it is a solid performer, while the GPU's percentile of 88 is even stronger. The combination of these two parts creates a system that excels in Fivem, which is known for being more sensitive to single-thread performance. The i5-13400F's single-thread score of 960 in 3dmark and 3004 in Cinebench R23 suggests it handles the game's core logic well, allowing the RTX 4080 SUPER to operate at its full potential. While the rank is not in the top 100, it is a very competitive result that puts this setup ahead of the vast majority of user configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the High preset, the average FPS drops from 207.5 at 1080p to 133.9 at 1440p, and then to 75.1 at 4K. This represents a 35% decrease from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44% decrease from 1440p to 4K. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 132.4 FPS, which is a 64% reduction.

This scaling behavior indicates that the system is heavily GPU-bound. When the resolution increases, the GPU must render more pixels, which directly impacts its output. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution rises because the frame rate is limited by the GPU's pixel throughput. The data supports this: at 1080p Low, the system hits 321.9 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame rate limit for this game. As the resolution increases to 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the frame rate drops to 121.4 FPS on Low. The 60.6 FPS drop from Low to Ultra at 4K further confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU is capable of feeding frames faster than the GPU can render them.

At 4K, Ultra is 50.0% slower than Low. This consistency indicates a linear scaling relationship between the settings and the GPU's workload.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on a 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The CPU features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. Its TDP is rated at 65 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and the complex scripting that comes with multiplayer mods. The benchmark data shows the CPU has a strong single-thread performance, with a 3dmark single-thread score of 960 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3634. This is crucial for Fivem, which often relies on a single main thread for simulation. The multi-threaded scores are also robust, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21279 and a Geekbench multicore score of 10971.

The measured FPS data reveals that at 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 321.9 FPS. This is the highest frame rate in the dataset and is likely close to the CPU's maximum limit for this game. The fact that the frame rate does not increase further when the GPU is less stressed (e.g., at 4K Low producing 121.4 FPS) confirms that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The i5-13400F provides sufficient processing power to feed the RTX 4080 SUPER at all tested settings, making it a balanced partner for this GPU in Fivem. Its performance is comparable to the Intel Core i7-13620H, which shows a 0.1% delta in average benchmark scores, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, which is 0.5% faster. This places the CPU in a competitive position for gaming workloads.
