Fivem

The Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination delivers remarkably scalable performance in Fivem, with the data demonstrating a clear progression from a CPU-bound scenario at lower resolutions to a more balanced, GPU-centric load at 4K. This analysis examines the measured frame rates across three resolutions and four quality presets to characterize the behavior of this specific hardware pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve as resolution increases, which is typical for a multiplayer title with high object density. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 330.7 FPS, a figure that drops by roughly one-third to 217.1 FPS at 1440p, and then falls further to 117.8 FPS at 4K. This progression indicates that at 1080p, the system is heavily limited by the CPU's ability to feed frames, as the i7-13700K's 16 cores and 24 threads are being tasked with game logic and entity updates rather than pure rendering.

Moving to Ultra settings amplifies the GPU's role. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 160.1 FPS, which is only 48% of the Low-preset score at the same resolution. This suggests that even at 1080p, the RTX 4080 SUPER's rendering workload is substantial enough to prevent the CPU from becoming the sole bottleneck. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution climbs: at 1440p, Ultra delivers 107.2 FPS versus 217.1 FPS for Low, and at 4K, the difference compresses to 60.3 FPS versus 117.8 FPS. This pattern confirms that higher resolutions shift the bottleneck firmly toward the GPU's pixel throughput capabilities.

The 4K data is particularly telling for identifying the limiting component. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate of 60.3 FPS sits well below the 1440p Ultra result of 107.2 FPS, a 44% reduction that is directly attributable to the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth constraints. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth and 112 ROPs are being taxed heavily at this resolution. Conversely, the 1080p Low result of 330.7 FPS highlights the CPU's strength in single-threaded performance, as the 3DMark single-thread score of 1136 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5505 indicate strong per-core capability for handling Fivem's simulation threads.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of 1792 tested combinations, this specific pairing of the i7-13700K and RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a rank of 113 for Fivem. This places the combo in the top 6.3% of all tested configurations, which is a strong showing given that the CPU sits at the 93rd percentile among all processors and the GPU at the 88th percentile among all graphics cards. The rank suggests that the pairing is well-balanced for this title, with neither component dragging the overall performance down.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution. The Intel Core i7-13700KF posts an average benchmark score of 47334, which is just 0.1% higher than the i7-13700K's 47282, indicating that the two are functionally interchangeable in this context. The AMD EPYC 4364P trails by 0.3%, and the Intel Core i9-12900F is 0.4% behind. These small deltas show that the i7-13700K is not a performance outlier relative to its direct competitors, but rather a consistently strong processor that holds its own against both newer and older designs.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 53610 puts it just 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M. The gap widens to 2.1% against the AMD Radeon RX 7700S and 2.9% against the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. This indicates that while the RTX 4080 SUPER is not the absolute fastest card in the database, its performance envelope is tightly clustered with several high-end alternatives, and the measured Fivem results reflect a GPU that can handle demanding 4K workloads without being a bottleneck at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimal settings based on target frame rates. For players with a 1080p display, the High preset delivers 206.6 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. The Ultra preset at 160.1 FPS is also viable, but the 22% reduction from High to Ultra suggests diminishing returns for the visual fidelity gain. Low at 330.7 FPS is excessive for any current display, so Medium at 261.9 FPS offers a better balance of visual quality and headroom.

At 1440p, the High preset at 135.4 FPS is the sweet spot for high-refresh displays, while Ultra at 107.2 FPS remains playable for 100Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 169.5 FPS provides a comfortable margin above 144Hz, making it the choice for competitive play where frame rate takes precedence over visual detail. Low at 217.1 FPS is only recommended for esports-level responsiveness, as the visual downgrade is significant.

For 4K, the situation changes dramatically. The Ultra preset yields 60.3 FPS, which is marginal for a smooth experience on standard 60Hz displays but will feel sluggish on higher refresh panels. The High preset at 77.7 FPS is the recommended starting point, offering a solid balance that clears the 60 FPS threshold with headroom for dips. Medium at 93.8 FPS is the best option for 4K users who want to stay above 90 FPS, while Low at 117.8 FPS demonstrates that even at this resolution, the RTX 4080 SUPER can push well beyond 100 FPS if visual settings are sacrificed. The data shows that High is the most versatile preset across all resolutions, providing consistent frame rates that scale smoothly from 1080p to 4K.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER's role in Fivem is defined by its memory subsystem and clock speeds. With a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, the GPU operates at high frequencies that directly impact rendering throughput. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, running at 1438 MHz with 23 Gbps effective speed, provides a 256-bit bus with 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This bandwidth is sufficient to feed the 10240 shading units and 320 TMUs, as evidenced by the 4K High preset achieving 77.7 FPS.

The GPU's transistor count of 45,900 million on a 5 nm TSMC process node allows for 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. This raw compute power is what enables the card to handle the increasing pixel counts from 1080p to 4K. The 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but have minimal impact on Fivem, which is not a ray-traced title. Instead, the traditional rasterization pipeline, supported by 112 ROPs delivering 285.6 GPixel/s, is what drives the measured frame rates.

The VRAM capacity of 16 GB proves adequate for Fivem's texture-heavy environments. The data shows that increasing settings from Low to Ultra at 4K causes the frame rate to drop from 117.8 FPS to 60.3 FPS, a 49% reduction that is more attributable to shading complexity than memory capacity. The GPU's 88th percentile ranking among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 53610, confirms that it is a high-end part, but the measured Fivem results show that it becomes the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the CPU's strong single-thread performance can no longer compensate for the rendering load. This balance of CPU and GPU capabilities makes the combo rank 113th overall, a position that reflects the GPU's ability to handle most resolutions comfortably while ceding ground only at the most demanding settings.
