Fivem

This combo pairs the Intel Core i7-13700K with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER for Fivem. The data places this pairing at rank 1313 out of 1792 tested combos, putting it in the lower-middle portion of the database. That ranking reflects a CPU that is far stronger than the GPU, creating a bottleneck that will show up clearly at higher resolutions and settings. The i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake part with a 5.40 GHz boost clock, while the RTX 2060 SUPER is a Turing-generation card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The measured FPS data shows a system that is perfectly playable at 1080p but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K, especially with demanding settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1313 out of 1792 places this pairing in the 73rd percentile of tested combinations. That is not a flattering position, but it is an expected one given the component mix. The Core i7-13700K is a top-tier CPU, ranking in the 93rd percentile among all processors with an average benchmark score of 47282. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13700KF, which scores 47334 (just 0.1% higher), and the AMD EPYC 4364P at 47131 (0.3% lower). The CPU is clearly not the limiting factor here.

The RTX 2060 SUPER, by contrast, sits in the 63rd percentile among all GPUs with an average score of 19774. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN at 19706 (0.3% lower), the RTX 2070 at 19680 (0.5% lower), and the Quadro K5200 at 19623 (0.8% lower). The GPU is a mid-range part, and in Fivem — a multiplayer title that is notoriously CPU-heavy — the pairing produces a system where the CPU is doing far more work than the GPU can keep up with. The rank reflects this imbalance: the combo is slower than many pairings with weaker CPUs but stronger GPUs, because Fivem's frame rate is capped by the graphics card in most scenarios.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 4K gaming?

A: The data shows a clear preference for 1080p. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 158.9 FPS, while at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, it drops to 26.6 FPS. The system is far more capable at lower resolutions.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rival, the i7-13700KF?

A: The i7-13700K scores 47282 on average, which is 0.1% lower than the i7-13700KF's 47334. For practical purposes, the two are identical in performance, with the KF lacking integrated graphics but offering the same core and clock configuration.

Q: What is the GPU's VRAM capacity and does it matter for Fivem?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is sufficient for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 26.6 FPS suggests the card is running out of headroom at that resolution.

Q: How does the GPU perform relative to the RTX 2070?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER scores 19774 on average, which is 0.5% higher than the RTX 2070's 19680. Despite being a lower-tier part in name, the SUPER variant closes the gap significantly.

Q: What is the CPU's boost clock and how does it affect Fivem?

A: The i7-13700K boosts to 5.40 GHz, which is critical for Fivem's single-threaded workloads. The CPU also scores 5505 in Cinebench R23 single-core, indicating strong per-thread performance.

Q: Does this combo hit 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: Yes, at 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the combo averages 82.4 FPS. High settings drop to 65.8 FPS, still above 60. Ultra settings fall to 52.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a steep drop as resolution increases, which points directly at the GPU as the limiting component. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 158.9 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings reduces that to 102.6 FPS, a drop of roughly 35%. At 3840x2160, the frame rate falls to 57.8 FPS, which is a 64% reduction from the 1080p figure.

This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU is capable of delivering far more frames than the RTX 2060 SUPER can render at higher resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution as well. At 1080p, the difference between Low (158.9 FPS) and Ultra (77.4 FPS) is 81.5 FPS. At 4K, that same gap shrinks to 31.2 FPS (57.8 vs 26.6), because the GPU is saturated at both settings.

The data suggests that the i7-13700K is barely breaking a sweat in this pairing. Its 3DMark max-threads score of 12412 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 39000 indicate a processor that could drive a much faster GPU. If you were to pair this CPU with a higher-end card, the frame rates at 1440p and 4K would improve significantly. As it stands, the RTX 2060 SUPER is the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce 158.9 FPS, Medium drops to 126.1 FPS, High comes in at 98.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 77.4 FPS. All of these are playable, and the 1080p Ultra figure of 77.4 FPS is smooth enough for most multiplayer scenarios.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain respectable but start to show strain. Low settings yield 102.6 FPS, Medium gives 82.4 FPS, High drops to 65.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 52.4 FPS. The 52.4 FPS at Ultra is borderline for competitive play, but High at 65.8 FPS is acceptable.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically. Low settings manage 57.8 FPS, Medium drops to 45.4 FPS, High falls to 38 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 26.6 FPS. The 4K results are not playable for a fast-paced multiplayer game, and even the Low setting at 57.8 FPS is marginal. The data makes it clear that this combo is a 1080p or 1440p machine, not a 4K one.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor in this pairing. Its 8 GB of VRAM is adequate for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, but the card's compute capabilities struggle with higher resolutions. The GPU has a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, with 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs. Its FP32 performance is rated at 7.181 TFLOPS, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed.

The benchmark data shows the GPU's standing among its peers. It sits in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, with a Passmark G3D score of 16462 and a Passmark DirectX 12 score of 61. The card's nearest rival, the RTX 2070, scores 0.5% lower on average, which means the 2060 SUPER is punching slightly above its weight class. However, in Fivem, the GPU's 4K Ultra result of 26.6 FPS is a clear indicator that the card is not designed for this workload at that resolution.

The card's 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth is respectable for its era, but it is not enough to feed the pixel pipeline at 4K with Ultra settings. The data shows that the GPU's performance degrades linearly with resolution and settings, which is typical for a mid-range card. For this combo, the GPU is the ceiling.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a heavyweight processor that is severely underutilized in this pairing. It features 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The 30 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample headroom for Fivem's single-threaded and multi-threaded demands.

The CPU's benchmark scores are impressive. It posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 39000 and a single-core score of 5505. Its 3DMark single-thread score is 1136, and its Passmark single-thread score is 4333. These numbers place the CPU in the 93rd percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 47282.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle game logic and player positions, which are typically single-threaded. The i7-13700K's 5.40 GHz boost clock is ideal for this task, but the GPU cannot keep up. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 158.9 FPS, which is likely close to the CPU's limit for this game. However, at 4K, the frame rate drops to 57.8 FPS at Low settings, indicating the GPU is the constraint. The CPU is not the bottleneck here — it is waiting for the GPU to render frames.
