Fivem

Fivem with an Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 shows a performance curve that is heavily dictated by resolution and preset selection. The measured data indicates a system capable of extremely high frame rates at mainstream resolutions, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint as pixel count rises. This analysis breaks down the scaling behavior, comparative ranking, and optimal settings based strictly on the benchmark results provided.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals the shifting bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 318.8 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 231.6 FPS, a reduction of 87.2 FPS. Going further to 4K Low yields 125.3 FPS, which is 193.5 FPS lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU has ample headroom, and the GPU is not being fully utilized. The 1080p High preset still delivers 222.8 FPS, showing that even with increased graphical load, the system remains far from GPU-bound at this resolution.

The scaling pattern changes notably at 4K. The gap between Low (125.3 FPS) and High (78 FPS) is 47.3 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra (62.3 FPS) is only 15.7 FPS. This compression of frame rates at the top end of the settings spectrum suggests that the RTX 5080 is hitting a performance ceiling. The data implies that at 4K, the GPU's compute resources are the limiting factor, as the incremental cost of moving from High to Ultra yields diminishing returns. In contrast, at 1440p, the spread from Low (231.6 FPS) to Ultra (113.1 FPS) is much wider, indicating a more balanced workload where both CPU and GPU contribute to the final output.

The 1080p results further illustrate the CPU's role. At 1080p Ultra, the system still manages 170.2 FPS, which is only 52.6 FPS lower than the 1080p High result. However, the jump from 1080p Medium (278.4 FPS) to 1080p Ultra (170.2 FPS) is a 108.2 FPS drop. This shows that the i5-13400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, can sustain very high frame rates but is not immune to the increased draw calls and physics calculations that come with higher presets. The data strongly suggests that users targeting 1080p or 1440p will see the CPU as a meaningful partner to the GPU, while at 4K, the RTX 5080's raw throughput becomes the sole determinant of performance.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 holds the 82nd position out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 4.6 percent of all configurations tested for this game. The percentile ranking for the CPU alone is 82, while the GPU sits at the 89th percentile among all GPUs. The discrepancy between the GPU's higher percentile and the combo's overall rank suggests that the CPU is a slight limiting factor in achieving higher placements.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the i5-13400F shows an average benchmark score of 25236. The Intel Core i7-13620H is nearly identical with a score of 25201, a delta of 0.1 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D is slightly ahead with a score of 25365, representing a 0.5 percent advantage for the AMD part. These tiny margins indicate that the i5-13400F is competitively positioned in synthetic tests, but the real-world Fivem results may differ due to the game's specific engine characteristics. The CPU's percentile of 82 versus the GPU's 89 suggests that if paired with a faster processor, this combo could potentially rank higher, as the GPU has more headroom relative to its own peer group.

The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar tight grouping. The Intel Arc A570M has a score of 58239, which is 1.6 percent lower than the RTX 5080's 59188. Conversely, the Intel Arc Pro A60 scores 60326, putting it 1.9 percent higher. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500X trails by 2.6 percent with a score of 57661. These deltas are small, confirming that the RTX 5080 is a high-performing part, but the benchmark environment shows it is not untouchable. For Fivem specifically, the data shows that the combo's rank of 82 out of 1792 is a strong result, but it is not a top-tier placement, meaning there are configurations that extract higher frame rates from this game.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 222.8 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate monitor. The Medium preset achieves 278.4 FPS, and Low hits 318.8 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 170.2 FPS. For most users, the High preset at 1080p is the sweet spot, as it offers a substantial visual upgrade over Medium while still maintaining frame rates well above 200 FPS. The Ultra preset, while visually superior, sacrifices 52.6 FPS compared to High, which may be noticeable on a 240Hz display.

At 1440p, the High preset produces 144.2 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors. The Medium preset provides 186.1 FPS, offering a buffer for those with higher refresh rates. Low hits 231.6 FPS, and Ultra still manages 113.1 FPS. The data suggests that 1440p High is the recommended choice, as it balances visual fidelity with performance. The Ultra preset at 1440p is playable but dips below the 144 FPS threshold that many competitive players seek. Moving to 4K, the High preset yields 78 FPS, which is playable on a 60Hz or 75Hz display but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer. The Medium preset at 4K offers 99.2 FPS, which is a better target for smoother gameplay, while Low reaches 125.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 62.3 FPS, which is at the edge of playability.

The optimal strategy is to prioritize the High preset at 1080p or 1440p, as it provides the best combination of visual quality and frame rate. For 4K users, the Medium preset is the most balanced option, as it maintains frame rates above 90 FPS while still offering improved visuals over Low. The Ultra preset is only recommended for users with 60Hz displays who prioritize image quality over responsiveness, as the 62.3 FPS result at 4K is the lowest measured value across all configurations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. This bandwidth is critical for Fivem, which is a multiplayer game that often involves streaming large amounts of world data and player textures. The measured frame rates show that at 4K, the GPU's memory subsystem and compute units are fully engaged, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops when increasing preset levels.

The GPU's core configuration includes 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units. The boost clock of 2617 MHz allows for substantial compute throughput, rated at 56.28 TFLOPS for FP32 operations. In Fivem, this raw compute power translates to high frame rates even at 4K, but the scaling from Low to Ultra shows diminishing returns. The data indicates that the RTX 5080 is capable of delivering 125.3 FPS at 4K Low, but this drops to 62.3 FPS at Ultra, a 50.3 percent reduction. This suggests that the game's Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU, possibly related to shadows, reflections, or draw distance.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 89, combined with its average benchmark score of 59188, shows it is a high-end part. However, in Fivem, the combo's rank of 82 out of 1792 suggests that the game is not fully utilizing the GPU's potential at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 318.8 FPS result is likely CPU-limited, as the RTX 5080 has far more capacity than needed for that workload. The GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases, with the 4K results showing a clear GPU-bound scenario. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is ample for Fivem, as the game does not typically require more than 8-10 GB even at 4K Ultra, based on the measured performance. The memory clock of 1875 MHz, translating to 30 Gbps effective, provides the bandwidth needed to sustain high frame rates without stuttering, even in densely populated multiplayer servers.
