Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core i7-13700K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER

This combination of the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust Fivem experience, with measured frame rates ranging from 52 FPS at 4K Ultra to 290 FPS at 1080p Low. The data reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, placing it in the 606th position out of 3707 tested combos for this game, which puts it comfortably in the upper tier of configurations. The benchmark results show a clear pattern where lower resolutions and reduced settings unlock very high refresh rates, while 4K Ultra remains the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS, suggesting the GPU becomes the primary constraint only at the highest fidelity settings. This analysis explores how resolution scaling, component roles, and settings choices interact to produce these measured outcomes.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a pronounced drop as resolution increases, which is typical for a game like Fivem that relies heavily on both CPU and GPU resources. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 290 FPS, while at 4K Low it falls to 106 FPS, representing a 63.4% reduction in frame rate. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is heavily utilized at higher resolutions, with the GPU becoming the limiting factor as pixel count rises. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings shows a drop from 290 to 191 FPS (a 34.1% decrease), while moving from 1440p to 4K at Low further reduces performance to 106 FPS (a 44.5% decrease). This non-linear scaling suggests that memory bandwidth and GPU compute capacity are being taxed progressively more at each resolution step.

At Medium settings, the pattern continues with 229 FPS at 1080p, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 84 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops here are 34.1% from 1080p to 1440p and 44.4% from 1440p to 4K, closely mirroring the Low settings scaling. This consistency implies that the GPU's workload scales almost linearly with pixel count across these settings, with no unexpected bottlenecks emerging. High settings exhibit a similar trend: 183 FPS at 1080p, 120 FPS at 1440p, and 67 FPS at 4K, with drops of 34.4% and 44.2% respectively. The uniformity of these percentages across all three settings levels strongly indicates that resolution, rather than graphical complexity, is the dominant factor driving performance changes.

Ultra settings tell a slightly different story, with 142 FPS at 1080p dropping to 93 FPS at 1440p (a 34.5% decrease) and then to 52 FPS at 4K (a 44.1% decrease). The 4K Ultra result of 52 FPS is the only measured configuration below the 60 FPS threshold, highlighting that this combination is not optimized for maximum fidelity at 4K. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1440p Ultra, but the increased memory pressure and compute load at 4K Ultra push the GPU to its limits. The consistent scaling percentages across settings also indicate that the i7-13700K is not introducing a CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions, as the frame rate drops remain proportional to pixel count increases rather than being capped by processor limits.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 606th out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem, placing it in the top 16.4% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the balanced nature of the pairing, where the i7-13700K's strong multi-threaded performance complements the RTX 4070 SUPER's capable graphics output. The CPU itself ranks in the 89th percentile against all processors, with an average benchmark score of 46881, while the GPU sits in the 83rd percentile with an average score of 43223. These percentile positions indicate that both components are above-average performers, and their combination in this game produces results that exceed the median combo performance by a significant margin.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 scores 46971, which is only 0.2% higher than the i7-13700K's average, while the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 scores 47022, a 0.3% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX and Intel Xeon w3-2535 both trail by 0.5% with scores of 46654 and 46653 respectively. These narrow margins suggest that the i7-13700K is highly competitive within its performance tier, and any differences in Fivem frame rates would be negligible compared to the GPU's influence. For the GPU, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43262 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 43268 (0.1% higher), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43301 (0.2% higher). The RTX 4090 Mobile leads this group at 43667, a 1% advantage, but this is a mobile part with different power characteristics.

The combo's rank of 606 out of 3707 indicates that while this pairing is strong, there are numerous other configurations that achieve higher frame rates in Fivem. This is likely due to the game's multiplayer nature, which can be sensitive to both CPU and GPU performance depending on the server load and player count. The data shows that the i7-13700K's 16 cores and 24 threads provide ample processing headroom, but the RTX 4070 SUPER's mid-range positioning within the GeForce 40-series means that higher-tier GPUs would offer better 4K performance. The 606th rank also reflects that some combos with similar or lower CPU performance but higher-end GPUs may outperform this pairing at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is the primary constraint.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the AD104 chip using TSMC's 5 nm process, with 35,800 million transistors packed into a 294 mm² die. Its memory configuration consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications directly influence the measured FPS results, particularly at higher resolutions where memory capacity and bandwidth become critical. The 12 GB frame buffer is sufficient for Fivem at all tested settings, as evidenced by the absence of min FPS outliers that might indicate memory swapping or stuttering. The base clock of 1980 MHz and boost clock of 2475 MHz allow the GPU to maintain high utilization during intense scenes, with the 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 performance providing adequate compute headroom for the game's physics and rendering tasks.

The GPU's 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines contribute to its ability to handle Fivem's draw calls and texture rendering. The 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores are less relevant for this game, as Fivem does not heavily utilize ray tracing features, but they do provide future-proofing for other titles. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s explain the GPU's scaling behavior across resolutions; at 4K, the increased pixel count requires more fill rate, and the measured 52 FPS at Ultra represents the point where these rates become limiting. The 220 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate that the GPU can sustain boost clocks under load, though the 1x 16-pin power connector requires a compatible PSU (suggested 550 W).

Comparing the GPU's benchmark scores, the PassMark G3D score of 29995 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627 highlight its overall compute capability. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 172795 and Vulkan score of 205624 demonstrate strong API performance, which translates well to Fivem's rendering pipeline. The GPU's 83rd percentile ranking against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43223, places it slightly below the RTX 4090 Mobile (43667) but above the Quadro M6000 variants. In practical terms, the 4K Medium result of 84 FPS with min FPS of 71 shows that the GPU can maintain playable frame rates at high resolutions when settings are moderated, while the 1440p Ultra result of 93 FPS indicates that this is the sweet spot for maximum fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, all settings levels exceed 142 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high refresh rate monitors.
