Fivem

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a tested combination for Fivem, a multiplayer title released on 2017-03-31. The data shows measured frame rates across four presets and three resolutions, with the combo ranking 1382 out of 3707 tested configurations. This pairing sits in the upper-middle of all tested combos, and the per-resolution results reveal a system that can handle high refresh rates at 1080p but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K Ultra. The following analysis breaks down which settings to use, what the hardware contributes, and where the bottleneck lies.

Settings Recommendations

For a smooth experience, the best preset per resolution depends on whether you target 60 FPS or higher refresh rates. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 100 FPS mark: Low averages 219, Medium 173, High 138, and Ultra stays at 107. Since even Ultra keeps framerate well above 100 FPS, the recommended preset at 1080p is High — it delivers 138-219 FPS (with the measured Medium having a min of 59 FPS, but High has no min/max listed). High provides the visual quality most players expect from Fivem, and the CPU headroom from the i7-13700K (16 cores, 24 threads) allows these numbers.

At 2560x1440, the story tightens. Low gives 144 FPS, Medium 114, High 91, and Ultra 71. For competitive play, Low is the only preset that consistently pushes past 140 FPS. For a more balanced appearance while maintaining high refresh, Medium offers 114 FPS with a measured minimum of 97 FPS and maximum of 131 FPS — a solid range that stays above the 90 FPS threshold. Ultra at 1440p dips to 71 FPS, which might be acceptable for slower scenes in Fivem but feels less fluid in crowded multiplayer areas. The recommendation is Medium for 1440p, as it keeps framerate in the triple digits while the visuals remain close to High.

At 3840x2160, the GPU (AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with 12 GB VRAM) becomes the limiting factor for most presets. Low averages only 80 FPS, Medium 63 (min 54, max 73), High 51, and Ultra 39. None of these reach 80 FPS, and only Low and Medium clear the 60 FPS line. For a playable 4K experience, Low is the only preset that maintains an average above 80 FPS — though demanding scenes might drop below. When you want to push visual detail, Medium can still deliver 63 FPS with occasional dips to 54 FPS, which is borderline. High and Ultra push the GPU too hard, resulting in stutter-prone gameplay. Therefore, at 4K, Low is the recommended preset; Medium is a second choice only if the extra detail is more important than frame stability.

FAQ

Q: Does the i7-13700K hold back the RX 7700 XT in Fivem?

A: Not at 1080p. The CPU has a passmark multithread score of 45887 and an average benchmark of 46881. In the resolution scaling, FPS drops substantially when moving from 1080p to 4K for every preset, which indicates the GPU becomes the key factor at higher resolutions.

Q: What is the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra?

A: 107 FPS average. For comparison, 1080p Low gets 219 FPS, Medium 173, and High 138.

Q: How does this combo compare to other CPUs on average?

A: The i7-13700K average benchmark of 46881 places it at a percentile of 89, nearly matching the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (avg score 46971, delta -0.2%) and slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 (47022, delta -0.3%) but slightly behind the Intel Xeon w3-2535 (delta 0.5%). It outruns the Ryzen 9 7845HX by a 0.5% margin.

Q: Which GPU rival is the RX 7700 XT closest to in the data?

A: The RX 7700 XT (avg score 22547) sits within 1% of the RTX 4080 Mobile (22435 delta -0.5%) and RTX 4Mobile (4060 -0.8%). It pulls away from the RTX 2080 (22895 delta -1.7%) and is clearly faster than the RX 5700 (22170 delta 1.7%).

Q: Is 12 GB of VRAM enough for Fivem at 4K?

A: In the measured results, Fivem runs 4K at over 50 FPS on Low preset using the 12 GB frame buffer. However, the largest VRAM consumer is the game's textures; even with the RX 7700 XT's 12 GB GDDR6 and 432 GB/s bandwidth, the high-ultra presets push the GPU hard, resulting in 39-51 FPS. The capacity is not the main issue; texture load at Ultra0 shows the GPU compute output deals with the resolution-limited FPS.

Q: Does the low preset help at 1440p?

A: Yes. At 2560x1440, Low yields 144 FPS versus 91 FPS on High and 71 FPS on Ultra. This suggests 1440p has enough CPU headroom so that achanging settings directly affect the GPU load.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT drives the frame rate in Fivem's high-resolution settings. The card runs at 2544 MHz boost, 2171 MHz game clock, with a 12 GB GDDR6 memory bus at 2250 MHz (effective 18 Gbps) delivering 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its thermal and power envelope (TDP of 545 watts – wait, it says 545 in the pack? Actually check: TDP 245 W in pack. So 245W.) The card's compute capability is reflected in its Passmark scores: G3D 22547, DX12 79, DX11 232, and OpenCL 138383 (in Geekbench). In Fivem, the GPU's performance diminishes sharply as resolution climbs, as seen in the 4K results.

At 1080p, the GPU does not limit most presets – Low runs at 219 FPS, which shows the CPU has enough single-core strength (Cinebench R23 single 2116) and the Rx 7700 XT can handle low shading. The max of Medium at 1080 is 199 FPS and min 147. High at 1080p averages 138.

At 1440p, the GPU still stays ahead of the CPU in most cases but the gap narrows: Medium 104 (so 114) and Ultra 71. The RX 7700 XT compute (3DMark Steel Nomad 3316) suggests it is the component that reduces the frame rate when the workload scales.

The 12 GB VRAM becomes relevant at 4K. The average FPS at 4K High 51 and Ultra 39 indicate that due to the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute, the card can't handle the larger textures and geometry. The 12 GB capacity is not itself the primary limit – rather the card's overall throughput. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 2254 relative (at 67 percentile) aligns with its position between the RTX5060 Mobile and RTX 4060 Mobile in synthetic tests. In Fivem, the 4K scaling reflects that the silicone low/medium presets reduce shading load, allowing the card to reach 80 (Low) from 39 (Ultra) at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured combination of i7-13700K and RX 7700 XT lands at position 1382 out of 3707 total tested combos. That places it in the upper-middle third of configurations. To contextualize, the CPU itself stands in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 46881. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (delta -0.2) and Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 (delta -0.3), indicating the i7 13700K is essentially on par with those high-end parts. The GPU in this combo is at the 67th percentile (average benchmark 22549) and close to the RTX 5060 Mobile (delta 0.5%) and RTX 4060 Mobile (delta -0.8%), with a gap to the RTX 2080 of -1.5%.

The rank 1382/3707 (including the actual number) reflects the balanced mid-high performance of this link. In Fivem's typical CPU-heavy scenes – official role data – the strong CPU single-core (Cinebench R20 single 1999, but that appears? Only for R23 single 2116) and multi-threaded (Cinebench R23 multi 30745) can keep the game from CPU limiting. Meanwhile the RX 7700 XT handles the raw rendering. For a game like Fivem, the rank indicates that about 2,325 other combos perform better, but that leaves just over 1,000 tested combos lower. As a practical pick, this mix is suited for high-refresh 1080p and decent 1440p play.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS at different resolutions reveals how the components handle scaling. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 for High preset, the average drops from 138 to 9 – a decrease of 47 FPS (a ~34% drop). From 1440p to 4K High, it falls from 91 to 51, another -40 FPS or ~56% drop. The texture gets more pronounced with each setting's curve.

For Medium, 1080p yields 173, at 1440p – a drop of 59 FPS to 114, and at 4K only 63 – another 51 FPS drop. Low preset: 219 -> 144 -> 80 sequentially. Ultra: 107 -> 71 -> 39.

That the percentage reduction is larger at the lower quality presets suggests that the GPU is the primary scaler. At High from 1080p to 4K, the FPS reduces to 37% of the initial (51/138). The drop for Low is 80/219 = 36.5% as well. Meanwhile, Medium shows 63/173 = 36.4%. Uniform proportional scaling across settings indicates that the GPU load scales roughly with pixel count, not CPU limits. If the CPU were the core, the fps would remain more equal across resolutions. The single result set – where the medium while 1440p has a min of 97 – points to stable GPU performance. At 4K with Ultra, the 39 FPS and at Low 80 – the range is about a factor of 2, which coincides with the doubling of pixel count from 1080p to 4K (four times the pixels) but the fps ratio is higher than the square root – meaning some other factor besides pure pixel fill.

In simple terms, the system demonstrates that the i7-13700K is not a bottleneck in Fivem even at 4K, because the FPS scaling is clearly tied to the RX 7700 XT's pixel throughput.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured frame rates in the recorded data.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min | Max |

|------------|----------|---------|-----|-----|

| 3840x2160 | High | 51 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 80 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 63 | 54 | 73 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 39 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | High | 91 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 144 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 114 | 97 | 131 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 71 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | High | 138 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 219 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 173 | 147 | 199 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 107 | - | - |

The only preset where min/max data exists is Medium across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the average 173 sits between 147 and 199. At 1440p Medium, the range is 97 to 131. At 4K Medium, the range is 54 to 73. The narrow margins at higher resolution indicate the frame pacing stays stable – the max and min are within a 20-30% band of the average. This, alongside the average drops, suggests the game's frame time complexity in the Medium preset explores only modest spikes.

The absolute frame rates at 1080p Low (219) show what the system can do when the game is rendering simplified geometry. Even the combination's Unigine / Super position shows CPU can support high FPS. At 4K Ultra, the 39 average is exactly what you would expect for the given GPU scenario – the RX 7700 XT's capabilities are fully engaged.

To directly examine the multi-player aspect, Fivem's CPU load in crowded servers is not openly measured here, but the strong overall CPU benchmark (Cinebench multi 30745 and single 2116) suggests that the i7-13700K has enough thread poise for such environments. The GPU role in the data shows that the card dominates the game's resolution and shading.
