Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that places substantial demands on both the CPU and GPU, and the measured results for the Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 reveal a system that is heavily constrained by its graphics card at higher resolutions. The data shows a configuration where a top-tier 13th Gen processor is held back by an end-of-life Polaris GPU, resulting in playable frame rates only at 1080p and with aggressive settings reductions.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for this CPU and GPU in Fivem?

A: The only configuration that breaks the 60 FPS barrier is 1920x1080 with Low settings, which achieves an average of 76.7 FPS. The next best is 1920x1080 at Medium settings, which delivers 59.9 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the Core i7-13700K compare to its closest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Intel Core i7-13700K has an average benchmark score of 47282, which is effectively tied with the Intel Core i7-13700KF, which scores 47334, representing a negligible delta of -0.1%. It also sits within a narrow band of the AMD EPYC 4364P and Intel Core i9-12900F, which are just 0.3% and 0.4% ahead, respectively.

Q: What is the performance gap between the RX 570 and its closest rival in the GPU benchmark database?

A: The Radeon RX 570 has an average benchmark score of 30158, which is just 0.2% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, which scores 30109. This places it in a very tight performance cluster alongside the RTX 5060 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT.

Q: What is the overall ranking of this specific combo in the database for Fivem?

A: The combination of the Core i7-13700K and Radeon RX 570 ranks 1725 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 4% of all systems tested for this specific game.

Q: What is the difference in performance between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, lowering the settings from Ultra to Low results in a substantial performance gain. The average frame rate increases from 34.9 FPS at Ultra to 76.7 FPS at Low, a difference of 41.8 FPS.

Q: Does this CPU and GPU combination perform better at 1440p or 1080p?

A: The data shows significantly better performance at 1920x1080. At 2560x1440, even the Low settings only achieve an average of 51.1 FPS, whereas at 1080p the same settings yield 76.7 FPS, indicating a clear advantage at the lower resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is a 4 GB GDDR5 graphics card based on the Polaris 20 chip, built on a 14 nm process. Its memory operates at 1750 MHz, translating to 7 Gbps effective, and is accessed via a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The card’s base clock is 1168 MHz, with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, and it features 2048 shading units. These specifications, while capable for their era, are the primary bottleneck in this Fivem configuration.

The benchmark results demonstrate the GPU's limitations clearly. At 3840x2160 (4K), the card is overwhelmed, with average frame rates ranging from a low of 15.6 FPS at Ultra settings to a maximum of 30.4 FPS at Low settings. Even at the lower 2560x1440 resolution, performance is marginal, with the High setting producing an average of 30.5 FPS and Ultra producing 25 FPS. The RX 570 only begins to show acceptable performance at 1920x1080, where it achieves 59.9 FPS at Medium settings. This pattern indicates that the GPU's 4 GB memory capacity and raw compute power are insufficient for the higher pixel counts and texture loads of Fivem at 1440p and above, making 1080p the only viable resolution for this card.

The GPU's synthetic benchmark scores reinforce its position as a mid-range part. Its average benchmark score of 30158 places it at the 74th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, which is only 0.2% ahead. This tight grouping suggests that the RX 570, despite its age, remains in a performance tier that is competitive with much newer hardware in general compute tasks, yet the Fivem data shows that its real-world gaming performance is heavily dependent on resolution and settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and can boost up to 5.40 GHz, supported by a large 30 MB shared L3 cache. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory and has a TDP of 125 W. This is a high-end desktop processor, and its synthetic benchmark scores confirm this, with an average benchmark score of 47282, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle the game's simulation, scripting, and entity logic, which are often intensive in a multiplayer environment. The benchmark data shows that the i7-13700K is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 76.7 FPS, but the CPU's capabilities are far from exhausted. The fact that performance drops to 17.3 FPS at 4K High settings, while the CPU's workload remains relatively constant, proves that the GPU is the bottleneck. The i7-13700K’s strong single-threaded performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5505, and its enormous multi-threaded capability, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39000, mean it can easily feed frames to the RX 570 without becoming a constraint.

The CPU’s benchmark scores are closely matched with its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i7-13700KF is only 0.1% faster, while the AMD EPYC 4364P and Intel Core i9-12900F are 0.3% and 0.4% slower, respectively. This indicates that the i7-13700K is a top-tier processor whose performance is statistically indistinguishable from its immediate competitors in the database. In this specific game, its power is largely untapped, waiting for a more capable GPU to unlock higher frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined system of the Intel Core i7-13700K and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 1725 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the bottom 4% of all systems tested for this game, a ranking that is almost entirely due to the graphics card. The ranking reflects the measured FPS data, which shows that this combo struggles to maintain high frame rates even at 1080p.

This ranking is particularly notable because the CPU itself is a top-tier performer. The i7-13700K’s 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and its close performance to the i7-13700KF show that it is a powerful component. However, the combo rank of 1725 suggests that the RX 570 is dragging the entire system down. The data indicates that the pairing is severely unbalanced for Fivem; a system with this CPU would be expected to achieve much higher frame rates if paired with a more modern and powerful GPU. The low rank is a direct consequence of the GPU's inability to keep up with the CPU's potential, making this a CPU-bound system in a game that is heavily GPU-dependent at higher settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the system's performance across different resolutions and settings. The results are as follows:

• 3840x2160 (4K): At this resolution, the system is not playable. The average frame rates are 15.6 FPS at Ultra, 17.3 FPS at High, 23.1 FPS at Medium, and 30.4 FPS at Low. The GPU is completely overwhelmed, and even the lowest settings fail to produce a smooth experience.

• 2560x1440 (1440p): Performance improves but remains below the 60 FPS target. The average frame rates are 25 FPS at Ultra, 30.5 FPS at High, 37.4 FPS at Medium, and 51.1 FPS at Low. While the Low setting is closer to playable, it still falls short of a consistent 60 FPS.

• 1920x1080 (1080p): This is the only resolution where the combo achieves playable frame rates. The average frame rates are 34.9 FPS at Ultra, 47.1 FPS at High, 59.9 FPS at Medium, and 76.7 FPS at Low. The jump from Medium to Low is significant, representing a 16.8 FPS increase, which pushes the system from a borderline playable state to a comfortable one.

The data shows a consistent scaling pattern: as resolution decreases, frame rates increase proportionally. At 1080p, the difference between Ultra and Low settings is 41.8 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints. The system is only capable of delivering a smooth 60+ FPS experience when both resolution and graphical fidelity are reduced to their minimum viable levels.
