Fivem

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a compelling Fivem experience, but the data reveals a clear hierarchy in performance scaling. Across the measured resolutions, the combo demonstrates a robust capacity for high refresh rates at 1080p, while 4K Ultra presents a significant challenge, capping average frames at 55.4. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable performance cost, but the jump to 4K is where the system's limits become most apparent, with averages dropping by roughly half in most settings compared to 1440p results.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a steep and consistent decline as resolution increases, which points directly at the GPU as the primary bottleneck in this configuration. At Low settings, the system produces 307.3 FPS at 1920x1080, which drops to 201.6 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 108.5 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 65% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, a pattern typical of a graphics-card-bound scenario where the rendering load on the RTX 4070 Ti grows exponentially with pixel count.

The scaling behavior intensifies with higher graphical presets. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 148.3 FPS at 1080p to 96.9 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 55.4 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1440p to 4K at Ultra is 42.8%, which is steeper than the 34.7% drop observed when moving from 1080p to 1440p. This non-linear degradation suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are being saturated at 4K, especially when combined with the demanding Ultra preset.

Interestingly, the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (307.3 FPS) and Ultra (148.3 FPS) is 159 FPS, but at 4K, this gap narrows to 53.1 FPS (108.5 vs 55.4). This compression indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU is so heavily loaded that even reducing settings cannot fully compensate for the pixel throughput required, solidifying the RTX 4070 Ti as the limiting component rather than the i7-13700K.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti's specifications align well with the observed Fivem performance, particularly its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. The 192-bit memory bus and 21 Gbps effective memory clock provide sufficient throughput for the game's open-world assets at 1440p, where the combo maintains over 96 FPS even at Ultra settings. However, at 4K, the 12 GB VRAM capacity and bandwidth become stressed, as evidenced by the 55.4 FPS average at Ultra, suggesting that texture streaming and asset loading at high pixel counts are taxing the memory subsystem.

The GPU's base clock of 2310 MHz and boost clock of 2610 MHz, coupled with its 7680 shading units, deliver strong raw compute. The 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance explains why the system scales well from Low to Medium settings at 1080p, producing 307.3 and 240 FPS respectively. The RTX 4070 Ti's 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores are relevant for Fivem's modern rendering features, though the game's multiplayer focus likely stresses the CPU more than ray tracing workloads.

Given that the GPU sits at the 85th percentile among all GPUs in the database, its performance here is solid but not exceptional. The data indicates that the 4070 Ti is well-matched for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but 4K Ultra pushes it to its limits, where the 55.4 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold many players target. The 285 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU underscore that this is a power-hungry part, yet the benchmark results show it handles Fivem's demands without thermal throttling apparent in the frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

Within the benchmark database, this specific configuration of the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 222nd out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 12.4% of all systems evaluated. This ranking is notable given the CPU's 93rd percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 85th percentile among all graphics cards, suggesting that the pairing works harmoniously for this title. The combo outperforms a majority of alternatives, but the 222nd rank also indicates that numerous other hardware combinations deliver higher average frame rates.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution to this ranking. The Intel Core i7-13700KF scores nearly identically with a -0.1% deltaPct, meaning the Fivem performance would be virtually unchanged with that chip. The AMD EPYC 4364P and Intel Core i9-12900F are 0.3% and 0.4% slower respectively, while the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 is 0.5% faster, though these differences are negligible in real-world frame rates. This suggests the CPU is not the differentiator in this combo's rank.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals show more variance. The Intel Arc A730M is 1.5% slower, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT is 1.6% slower, but the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile is 0.6% faster. These deltas are small, indicating that the 4070 Ti's performance in Fivem is competitive with other high-end parts, and its ranking with the i7-13700K is driven more by the overall system balance than by any single component's dominance.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce 307.3 FPS, Medium settings yield 240 FPS, High settings reach 190.6 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 148.3 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p is well within the system's comfort zone, with even Ultra settings providing a smooth experience well above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on gaming monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings achieve 201.6 FPS, Medium settings hit 158.2 FPS, High settings sustain 128.6 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 96.9 FPS. The 1440p results suggest that players can comfortably use High or Ultra settings for a high-refresh experience, with the frame rate staying above 96 FPS even at the most demanding preset.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings manage 108.5 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. Medium settings fall to 86.8 FPS, High settings drop to 70.8 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 55.4 FPS. These 4K numbers highlight the GPU's limitations at this resolution, with only Low settings providing a frame rate that approaches the 120 FPS mark, while Ultra settings dip below the 60 FPS threshold.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For 1080p gaming, the data supports using Ultra settings, as the 148.3 FPS average provides a fluid experience with maximum visual fidelity. The gap between High (190.6 FPS) and Ultra (148.3 FPS) is substantial, but both exceed the refresh rate of most standard monitors, making Ultra the clear choice for those prioritizing image quality without sacrificing playability.

At 1440p, the balanced choice appears to be High settings, which deliver 128.6 FPS. This preset offers a strong compromise, as Ultra drops to 96.9 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for demanding multiplayer scenes. Medium settings at 158.2 FPS are also viable for competitive players seeking higher refresh rates, but High provides the best combination of visual quality and performance headroom.

For 4K, the recommendation shifts to Medium settings at 86.8 FPS, as this is the highest preset that maintains a frame rate above 60 FPS. Low settings offer 108.5 FPS but sacrifice significant visual detail, while High (70.8 FPS) and Ultra (55.4 FPS) fall below the smoothness threshold many players expect. The data suggests that 4K gaming with this combo requires accepting Medium settings to balance visual fidelity with responsiveness.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-13700K's 16 cores and 24 threads provide substantial multi-threaded capacity, which is crucial for Fivem's multiplayer environments where numerous player entities and scripts run concurrently. The CPU's base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz ensure strong single-thread performance, as reflected in its 3dmark single-thread score of 1136 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5505. These metrics indicate the processor can handle the game's primary simulation thread without becoming a bottleneck, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is less taxed.

The CPU's 30 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the frequent data access patterns in a multiplayer game. The processor's 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 47282, places it well above the median, and its nearest rivals show less than 0.5% performance deltas, confirming its competitive standing. However, the fact that the i7-13700KF performs nearly identically suggests that Fivem does not heavily leverage the i7-13700K's unique features like the integrated UHD Graphics 770, which remains idle during discrete GPU use.

The data implies that the CPU's role in this combo is to provide a stable foundation that does not limit the GPU. At 1080p Low settings, where the GPU is least stressed, the 307.3 FPS result indicates the i7-13700K can feed frames quickly enough to avoid a CPU bottleneck. The 125 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest headroom for overclocking, but the measured performance already shows a balanced system where the RTX 4070 Ti dictates the frame rate ceiling, particularly at higher resolutions and settings.
