Fivem

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem across three resolutions reveals a classic scaling curve that points directly at which component is carrying the load. At 1080p with Low settings, the Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers 308 FPS, which is an exceptionally high figure that speaks to the CPU's ability to feed frames at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 203 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls further to 112 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p represents a 34% reduction in frame rate, while the jump from 1440p to 4K Low shows another 45% decline. This pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario emerging as resolution increases, but the raw numbers suggest the CPU still has headroom even at 4K Low.

The interesting story emerges when comparing settings presets at each resolution. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial: 308 FPS versus 151 FPS, a 51% penalty for maxing out the visual fidelity. At 1440p, the same comparison shows 203 FPS at Low versus 99 FPS at Ultra, which is a 51% drop as well. At 4K, the Low-to-Ultra spread narrows slightly in percentage terms: 112 FPS down to 55 FPS, representing a 51% reduction. This consistent ~50% penalty across all resolutions for the Ultra preset versus Low suggests that the settings themselves are driving the performance cost more than the resolution change alone.

What the data implies about the limiting component is nuanced. At 1080p Low, the 308 FPS figure is likely approaching the CPU's practical limit for this game engine, since the GPU is nowhere near its maximum capacity at such a low graphical load. The 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS shows the GPU is being pushed hard, but the fact that 4K Medium still achieves 89 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS indicates the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has enough headroom to handle the resolution without collapsing. The medium preset at 4K also shows the only min/max data points in the entire set for that resolution: 75 FPS minimum and 102 FPS maximum, which suggests frame pacing remains stable even when the GPU is working harder.

The resolution scaling behavior points to a balanced pairing where neither component is severely underpowered. The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads provide ample processing power, while the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth ensure that texture streaming and memory bandwidth are not limiting factors at higher resolutions. The data shows that Fivem scales predictably with resolution, and the frame rate drops are proportional rather than cliff-like, which is a sign of a well-matched system.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K brings substantial processing capability to this Fivem configuration. With 16 cores and 24 threads, the CPU is built for heavy multithreaded workloads, but its performance in Fivem appears to hinge more on its impressive boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The base clock of 3.40 GHz is modest by comparison, but the ability to boost to 5.40 GHz on demanding single-threaded tasks is likely what enables the extreme frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3, which provides ample fast memory for game engine data.

Benchmark results for the i7-13700K show a strong single-thread profile: 1,136 in 3DMark single-thread, 2,116 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 4,333 in PassMark single-thread. These scores are complemented by multithreaded results like 12,412 in 3DMark max threads, 30,745 in Cinebench R23 multicore, and 45,887 in PassMark multithread. The CPU's percentile ranking of 89 against all CPUs indicates it outperforms the vast majority of processors on the market. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900, has an average score of 46,971, which is only 0.2% higher than the Intel chip's average of 46,881, showing that the i7-13700K is essentially tied with a strong 12-core competitor.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role becomes more pronounced at lower resolutions. The 308 FPS at 1080p Low and 203 FPS at 1440p Low suggest that the game is CPU-bound in these scenarios, as the GPU should be capable of producing even higher frame rates at such low graphical loads. The fact that 1080p Ultra still achieves 151 FPS indicates that even with heavier graphical settings, the CPU can maintain high frame delivery. The CPU's 16 cores also help with Fivem's multiplayer nature, where multiple players, vehicles, and scripts can create significant multithreaded load that benefits from additional cores.

This positions the combo as a high-end option that should provide an excellent Fivem experience across most settings and resolutions. The data suggests that the CPU is the stronger component relative to its peers, which aligns with the observed frame rates at lower resolutions where CPU performance becomes the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this configuration performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. Starting at 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 308 FPS, which is the highest recorded average across all configurations. The Medium preset at 1080p achieves 243 FPS with a minimum of 206 FPS and a maximum of 279 FPS, providing the only min/max data points at this resolution. High settings at 1080p produce 194 FPS, while Ultra settings yield 151 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a steady decline: 308, 243, 194, and 151 FPS respectively.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves 203 FPS, which is still remarkably high for a 1440p resolution. The Medium preset at 1440p delivers 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS and a maximum of 184 FPS, showing good frame consistency. High settings at 1440p produce 128 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 99 FPS. The 1440p results show a similar pattern to 1080p, with each settings increase costing approximately 20-30% performance.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset delivers 112 FPS, which is still playable and smooth for most users. The Medium preset at 4K achieves 89 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS and a maximum of 102 FPS, which is the only configuration at 4K with recorded min/max values. High settings at 4K produce 71 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 55 FPS. The 4K results show that even at the highest resolution, the Low preset maintains over 100 FPS, and the Medium preset stays comfortably above 60 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS.

Comparing across resolutions, the data shows that the Low preset scales from 308 FPS at 1080p to 203 FPS at 1440p to 112 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset scales from 243 to 160 to 89 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For players with a 1080p display, the High preset at 194 FPS offers an excellent balance between visual quality and performance, especially if the display has a high refresh rate. The Ultra preset at 151 FPS is still very playable and provides the best visual fidelity, but the 22% performance penalty over High may not be worth it for competitive play. The Medium preset at 243 FPS is ideal for those seeking maximum smoothness, while the Low preset at 308 FPS is overkill for most displays.

At 1440p, the High preset at 128 FPS is the recommended choice for most users, as it provides good visual quality while maintaining a frame rate well above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 160 FPS is better suited for high-refresh-rate monitors, and the 99 FPS Ultra preset is acceptable for those who prioritize visuals. The Low preset at 203 FPS is unnecessary for most 1440p displays unless the user has a 200Hz+ monitor and values competitive performance over visual fidelity.

For 4K displays, the Medium preset at 89 FPS is the strongest recommendation, as it delivers a smooth experience with a minimum of 75 FPS, which ensures consistent frame delivery without drops below 60 FPS. The High preset at 71 FPS is a viable alternative for those who want slightly better visuals and can tolerate frame rates in the 60-70 range. The Ultra preset at 55 FPS is borderline for smooth gameplay, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for a good experience. The Low preset at 112 FPS is suitable for competitive players who prioritize frame rate over everything at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER contributes significantly to this configuration's performance in Fivem. With 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, the GPU provides 672.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is ample for streaming high-resolution textures and handling the complex multiplayer environments typical of Fivem. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz and base clock of 2340 MHz are respectable for the Ada Lovelace architecture, and its 8,448 shading units provide substantial compute throughput.

The GPU's benchmark results show a balanced profile: 31,811 in PassMark G3D, 199,267 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 53,683 in Geekbench Vulkan. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,569 indicates solid DirectX 12 performance, which is relevant for Fivem's rendering pipeline. The GPU's percentile ranking of 76 against all GPUs places it in the upper quartile, though it is not in the top tier of graphics cards. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX, has an average score of 31,676, which is 1.9% higher, showing that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is competitive with older flagship cards.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions and settings. The 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at this configuration, as the CPU has enough headroom to push more frames if the GPU could render them faster. The 4K Medium result of 89 FPS shows that reducing settings allows the GPU to deliver a more comfortable frame rate. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is likely sufficient for Fivem's texture requirements, as there is no evidence of VRAM-related performance degradation in the measured data. The GPU's FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s provide the computational foundation for handling Fivem's rendering workload across all tested settings.
