Fivem

The Intel Core i7-13700K and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX pairing in Fivem delivers a performance spectrum that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphical presets. The data shows a clear transition from a CPU-bound scenario at 1080p to a GPU-bound one at 4K, with the frame rate scaling accordingly. This combination ranks 245th out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the top 13.7% of systems for this title, a strong result that reflects the high ceiling of both components.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, revealing the shift in bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 301.4 FPS, but this falls to 110 FPS at 4K Low—a 63.5% reduction. This dramatic decline indicates that at lower resolutions, the Intel Core i7-13700K’s 16 cores and 24 threads are more than sufficient to feed the GPU, making the Radeon RX 7900 XTX the limiting factor even at 1080p Low, where the GPU's rendering workload still outpaces the CPU's frame generation.

The scaling pattern across settings is consistent, but the magnitude changes. Moving from 1080p High (188.7 FPS) to 1440p High (127.1 FPS) results in a 32.6% drop, while the jump to 4K High (69.5 FPS) is another 45.3% reduction. This steepening curve suggests the GPU's 24 GB of GDDR6 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are being increasingly taxed as pixel count rises, while the CPU's Raptor Lake architecture maintains headroom. The 1440p Medium result of 158.4 FPS versus 1080p Medium at 238.9 FPS (33.7% drop) further confirms this trend.

At 4K, the limiting component is unequivocally the GPU. The RX 7900 XTX, with its 6144 shading units and 192 ROPs, shows a 52.1 FPS average at Ultra settings—a playable but not high-refresh result. The delta between 4K Low (110 FPS) and 4K Ultra (52.1 FPS) is 52.6%, showing that the GPU’s compute resources, rather than the CPU's 5.40 GHz boost clock, dictate performance at this resolution. The i7-13700K’s 3dmark single-thread score of 1136 and passmark single-thread score of 4333 suggest it is not the primary constraint in any scenario, as even the most demanding 4K Ultra preset leaves CPU headroom.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Fivem?

A: The data shows 1440p offers the best balance of fidelity and speed. At High settings, the combo delivers 127.1 FPS, while 4K High drops to 69.5 FPS. The 1440p result is 83% higher than the 4K figure, making it the optimal choice for high refresh rate monitors.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Core i7-13700K has an average benchmark score of 47282, placing it 0.1% behind the Intel Core i7-13700KF (47334) and 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 4364P (47131). It also outperforms the Intel Core i9-12900F (47081) by 0.4%, showing tight competition at the top tier.

Q: Is the GPU's VRAM sufficient for 4K Ultra settings?

A: The RX 7900 XTX has 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, which is ample for the 4K Ultra preset that yields 52.1 FPS. The 960.0 GB/s bandwidth is a key factor here, as the GPU’s 61.39 TFLOPS FP32 performance is not hampered by memory constraints.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p?

A: At 1080p, the combo achieves 301.4 FPS on Low and 144.9 FPS on Ultra. This 51.9% reduction indicates that the GPU’s shading units and ROPs are heavily loaded by the Ultra preset’s effects, despite the CPU’s ability to push over 300 FPS on lower settings.

Q: How does the GPU's benchmark score compare to its rivals?

A: The RX 7900 XTX has an average benchmark score of 44019, which is 0.8% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667) and 1.6% higher than the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43313). It trails the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (44195) by 0.4%.

Q: Does the CPU's multicore performance matter for Fivem?

A: The i7-13700K’s cinebench r23 multicore score of 39000 indicates strong parallel processing, but Fivem’s frame rates suggest single-thread efficiency is more critical. The CPU’s 3dmark 2-thread score of 2262 and passmark single-thread score of 4333 support this, as the game scales more with resolution than with core count.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 245 out of 1792 places this system in the 86.3rd percentile of all tested configurations in Fivem. This is a strong position, driven by the combination of the CPU’s 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU’s 85th percentile among all GPUs. The pairing outperforms the vast majority of systems, which is notable for a game like Fivem that often favors high clock speeds over raw core counts.

The rank reflects the synergy between the i7-13700K’s 30 MB of shared L3 cache and the RX 7900 XTX’s 24 GB frame buffer. In multiplayer scenarios, the CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads handle the overhead of multiple players, while the GPU’s 96 RT cores and 192 ROPs manage the visual load. The 0.1% delta to the i7-13700KF and 0.4% delta to the i9-12900F show that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this rank; instead, the GPU’s 85th percentile score of 44019 is the more variable component.

The rank also highlights that this combo is not top-tier, as 244 other combinations achieve higher frame rates. These likely include newer or more specialized hardware, but within the context of this CPU and GPU pairing, the 245th position confirms balanced performance. The 4K Ultra result of 52.1 FPS is the weakest point, but the 1080p Low result of 301.4 FPS shows the system can handle esports-level refresh rates when settings are lowered.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 301.4 FPS, Medium yields 238.9 FPS, High reaches 188.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 144.9 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 156.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s compute units are the primary differentiator, as the CPU’s boost clock of 5.40 GHz remains constant.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers scale down predictably. Low settings average 195.8 FPS, Medium achieves 158.4 FPS, High holds at 127.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 99.7 FPS. The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 35.0%, while the drop from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra is 31.2%. This consistency suggests the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s is the limiting factor, as the 384-bit bus width struggles to keep pace with increased pixel throughput.

At 3840x2160, performance takes a significant hit. Low settings average 110 FPS, Medium achieves 88.1 FPS, High drops to 69.5 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 52.1 FPS. The 4K Low result is still above 60 FPS, but the Ultra preset’s 52.1 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, making it less suitable for competitive play. The scaling from 1440p Ultra (99.7 FPS) to 4K Ultra (52.1 FPS) is a 47.7% reduction, highlighting the GPU’s pixel rate of 479.6 GPixel/s as the binding constraint.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX plays a decisive role in Fivem’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 24 GB of GDDR6 memory is a major asset, as the 4K Ultra preset does not cause memory-related stuttering, thanks to the 384-bit bus width and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU’s boost clock of 2498 MHz and game clock of 2365 MHz provide the raw speed needed for the 52.1 FPS 4K Ultra result.

The GPU’s benchmark scores correlate with the in-game data. The passmark g3d score of 31238 and 3dmark steel nomad dx12 score of 6841 indicate strong DirectX 12 performance, which Fivem leverages. The 61.39 TFLOPS FP32 compute throughput is a key driver, as the game’s high-poly models and lighting effects at Ultra settings require substantial shader work. The 192 ROPs are particularly important for the 4K resolution, as they handle the final pixel output, and the 479.6 GPixel/s pixel rate is reflected in the 52.1 FPS Ultra result.

The GPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44019, places it just 0.8% ahead of the RTX 4090 Mobile and 2% behind the RTX 4070 Ti (44900). This positioning explains why the combo ranks 245th overall—the GPU is strong but not the absolute fastest, and the CPU’s 93rd percentile rank helps boost the system. The 355 W TDP and 750 W suggested PSU are relevant for sustained performance, but the data shows the GPU maintains consistent frame rates across the measured presets.
