CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake-S part with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache provide the data locality that multiplayer game servers often demand. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 960 and Geekbench single-core score of 2,301 indicate strong per-thread performance, which matters in Fivem's heavily scripted multiplayer environments where server-side logic can bottleneck frame delivery.

The 13400F's multi-threaded results tell a similar story. Its 3DMark max-thread score of 7,307 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,279 show that the 10-core design scales well under load. The PassMark multi-thread score of 25,032 and multithread score of 25,032 confirm this pattern. In Fivem, where multiple background scripts and player interactions run concurrently, this core count helps maintain consistent frame pacing.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the 13400F is effectively tied with the Intel Core i7-13620H (0.1% faster), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (0.5% faster), and the AMD EPYC 9474F (0.5% slower). This means the CPU is not a differentiator at the high frame rates seen in this game — the data shows the processor's single-thread capability and thread count are sufficient to feed the RTX 5090 at most settings.

The benchmark results indicate that at 1080p Low, where the CPU has the least GPU overhead, the combo still achieves 321.7 FPS. This suggests the 13400F's 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,880 and 4-thread score of 3,459 provide enough headroom for Fivem's typical thread utilization. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all processors reinforces that it is a capable mid-range part that does not bottleneck this GPU in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU with 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus delivers 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for high-resolution textures. The GPU's boost clock of 2407 MHz and base clock of 2017 MHz drive a peak FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS. The 5090's 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores handle advanced rendering features.

In Fivem, the GPU's role scales with resolution and settings. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 66.4 FPS, indicating that the RTX 5090's raw compute is being stressed by the game's highest preset. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 39,650 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,411 reflect its strong directX 12 performance, which is relevant since Fivem runs on that API.

The RTX 5090's 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it near the top of the performance hierarchy. Its nearest rivals in average score include the RTX 5090 D (0.1% slower), RTX 5050 Mobile (0.2% slower), and Radeon PRO W6600 (1.3% slower). The fact that the 5090's average benchmark score of 84,306 is only 1.6% behind the NVIDIA CMP 40HX shows how tightly packed the top tier is.

The GPU's 32 GB VRAM and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for Fivem's texture streaming, even at 4K Ultra. The data shows that the limiting factor at 4K is the GPU's compute throughput, not memory capacity — the FPS drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is 71.5 FPS (from 137.9 to 66.4), a pattern consistent with a shader-bound workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. Low settings yield an average of 321.7 FPS, Medium drops to 291.6 FPS, High settles at 240.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 188.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 133 FPS, showing a clear scaling curve as graphics features are enabled.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 252.3 FPS on Low, 196.2 FPS on Medium, 155.8 FPS on High, and 119.7 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 132.6 FPS, almost identical to the 1080p delta. This suggests that at 1440p, the workload is still largely GPU-bound but with less headroom than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the numbers compress significantly. Low averages 137.9 FPS, Medium 109.9 FPS, High 87.4 FPS, and Ultra 66.4 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra delta is 71.5 FPS, less than half the delta at lower resolutions. This narrowing indicates that at 4K, the GPU is nearing its limit across all settings, and the relative cost of each quality tier becomes smaller in absolute terms.

The High settings progression from 1080p to 1440p to 4K is 240.9, 155.8, and 87.4 FPS respectively. The Medium settings progression is 291.6, 196.2, and 109.9 FPS. The Low settings progression is 321.7, 252.3, and 137.9 FPS. The Ultra settings progression is 188.7, 119.7, and 66.4 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by approximately 35-38% across all settings. For example, High settings fall from 240.9 to 155.8 FPS, a 35.3% reduction. Low settings fall from 321.7 to 252.3 FPS, a 21.6% reduction, which is smaller because the CPU is more involved at lower graphical loads.

From 1440p to 4K, the drops are more severe. High settings fall from 155.8 to 87.4 FPS, a 43.9% reduction. Low settings fall from 252.3 to 137.9 FPS, a 45.3% reduction. The 4K resolution nearly doubles the pixel count of 1440p, and the FPS decreases reflect that increased pixel throughput requirement.

The limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p Low, the 321.7 FPS result suggests the CPU is the primary constraint — the RTX 5090 can render more frames, but the 13400F's single-thread performance caps the output. The 3DMark single-thread score of 960 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,634 support this interpretation. At 1080p Ultra, the GPU begins to take over, and the FPS drops to 188.7 as shader complexity increases.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The 66.4 FPS at Ultra and 137.9 FPS at Low show that even the RTX 5090's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is insufficient to maintain high frame rates at this resolution. The GPU's pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s are taxed heavily by 3840x2160 output.

The resolution scaling behavior indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem, where it can exceed 120 FPS on all settings. At 4K, the configuration delivers playable but not high-refresh-rate performance, with only Low and Medium settings exceeding 100 FPS. The data suggests that players targeting 4K should expect to compromise on settings or accept sub-90 FPS at High and Ultra presets.
