Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of an Intel Core i5-14400F and an AMD Radeon RX 580 in Fivem shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the average frame rates span from 40.4 FPS at Ultra settings to 85.2 FPS at Low settings. Medium settings produce an average of 66 FPS, while High settings deliver 52 FPS. These numbers indicate that the system can handle 1080p gaming comfortably at lower presets, but Ultra settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 57.1 FPS, which is just under the playable threshold of 60 FPS. Medium settings average 43.8 FPS, High settings average 37.9 FPS, and Ultra settings average 27 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly one-third across most presets, reflecting the increased pixel count and the corresponding load on the graphics card.

At 3840x2160, the results are largely unplayable for smooth gaming. Low settings average 30.7 FPS, Medium settings average 25.2 FPS, High settings average 19.7 FPS, and Ultra settings average 17.5 FPS. None of these approach the 60 FPS threshold, and even the lowest preset fails to deliver a consistent experience.

The data includes only average frame rates, with no minimum or maximum values recorded. This means the analysis focuses on mean performance, which can mask frame time spikes or stutters. Nevertheless, the averages provide a reliable ranking of settings and resolutions.

Across all resolutions, the scaling pattern is consistent: Low settings outperform Medium by a margin, Medium outperforms High, and Ultra is the most demanding. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 44.8 FPS (85.2 versus 40.4), while at 1440p it is 30.1 FPS (57.1 versus 27) and at 4K it is 13.2 FPS (30.7 versus 17.5). This narrowing gap at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as pixel count rises, reducing the relative impact of preset changes.

The AMD Radeon 740M and AMD FirePro W5100 score 12870 and 12847 respectively, showing 0.5% and 0.6% lower performance.

Q: Does the game rely more on the CPU or the GPU at 1080p?

A: The frame rate differences between presets at 1080p are substantial, with Low at 85.2 FPS and Ultra at 40.4 FPS. This large spread indicates that GPU load is a major factor. However, the CPU still provides enough headroom, as the i5-14400F ranks in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, allowing the GPU to be the limiting component.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow band of performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32233, essentially matching the i5-14400F at 32279 with a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226 is also effectively identical. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores slightly higher at 32354, while the Intel Core i7-12800H scores slightly lower at 32121. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly the same frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU, since the differences are under 1%.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 580 with an average score of 12928 sits close to several alternatives. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile differs by only 0.1% (12940), meaning a laptop GPU could approximate desktop RX 580 performance. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is 0.4% faster (12986), which would translate to marginally higher frame rates, perhaps a few FPS at most. The AMD Radeon 740M and AMD FirePro W5100 are slightly slower at 12870 and 12847, so they would produce nearly identical results, possibly 1-2 FPS lower in demanding scenes.

When considering a system swap, a user with the i5-14400F could pair it with any of these GPUs and expect similar behavior in Fivem. Conversely, keeping the RX 580 and swapping the CPU to one of the rivals listed would not change the frame rates meaningfully, as the CPU scores are all within 0.5%. The bottleneck at higher resolutions would remain the GPU regardless of which of these CPUs is installed.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 580 at 3364 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the lower portion of the rankings, around the 9th percentile from the top. The rank reflects the overall performance across all resolutions and settings, weighted toward the ability to maintain 60 FPS.

Given that only 1080p Low and Medium presets clear the playable threshold, the low rank is expected. Many other combos in the database likely achieve 60 FPS at higher presets or higher resolutions. The 14400F is a strong CPU in general benchmarks, sitting in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, but the RX 580 is only in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs. This imbalance means the GPU drags down the combo's overall standing in a game like Fivem, which appears to be GPU-bound at most settings.

The rank of 3364 out of 3707 indicates that roughly 343 combos perform worse, while the vast majority perform better. This is not a surprising outcome given the age of the RX 580, which is marked as end-of-life in the database. Users seeking higher ranks would need to upgrade the GPU to move the combo into the upper tiers.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Fivem depends on the resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the answer is yes for Low and Medium settings. Low averages 85.2 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold, and Medium averages 66 FPS, still clearing the bar. High settings at 52 FPS and Ultra at 40.4 FPS do not meet the threshold, so those are not recommended for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, no preset achieves 60 FPS. Low settings come closest at 57.1 FPS, but this is still below the playable threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind. Therefore, this combo is not suitable for 1440p gaming in Fivem if the target is a consistent 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. Even Low settings average only 30.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 17.5 FPS. The system is not viable for 4K in this game under any preset.

The verdict is clear: this PC can run Fivem at 1080p with Low or Medium settings, but it cannot handle higher presets at that resolution or any preset at 1440p or 4K. Users with a 1080p monitor and willingness to lower settings will find acceptable performance, while those with higher-resolution displays will need to reduce resolution or upgrade the GPU.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the database records no playable settings. The best average FPS is 30.7 at Low, but this falls far short of 60. There is no recommended preset for 4K.

At 2560x1440, similarly, no settings achieve the playable threshold. Low averages 57.1 FPS, which is the highest recorded value, but it is still below 60. No preset is recommended.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 66 FPS. This is the best balance between visual quality and performance. Low settings average 85.2 FPS and would provide additional headroom, but Medium offers higher visual fidelity while still clearing the threshold. High and Ultra are not viable, as they drop to 52 and 40.4 FPS respectively.

For users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality, Low at 1080p is the safest choice, as the 85.2 FPS average provides a larger margin against frame drops. However, the data does not include minimum FPS values, so the actual stability of Medium at 66 FPS cannot be fully assessed. The recommendation stands: Medium is the highest preset that meets the 60 FPS requirement at 1080p.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a capable processor, ranking in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 32279. Its nearest rivals all score within 0.5%, indicating that CPU performance is not a differentiator at these levels. The AMD Radeon RX 580, by contrast, ranks in the 53rd percentile of GPUs, with an average score of 12928. This puts the GPU in a lower relative position, suggesting it is the limiting factor in most scenarios.

At 1920x1080, the frame rate drops from 85.2 FPS at Low to 40.4 FPS at Ultra, a reduction of 52.6%. This large swing indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by preset changes, while the CPU has enough headroom to feed it. The i5-14400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, is unlikely to bottleneck at 1080p in this game, as the recorded scores for single-thread and multi-thread workloads are strong (3055 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 21645 in multi-core).

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop across the board, with Low at 57.1 FPS and Ultra at 27 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 30.1 FPS, smaller than at 1080p. This narrowing suggests that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes even more dominant, and preset changes have relatively less impact because the pixel fill rate is the primary constraint.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are uniformly low, from 30.7 FPS at Low to 17.5 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is just 13.2 FPS. Here, the GPU is almost certainly the sole bottleneck, as the CPU has ample performance for the workload. The RX 580's 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and 256-bit bus, with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth, are insufficient for 4K rendering in this game, regardless of CPU choice.

The data shows that in Fivem, the GPU role grows in importance as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU still contributes to overall responsiveness, but the GPU determines preset viability. At 1440p and above, the GPU is the clear limiting factor, and the CPU's high benchmark percentile does not compensate for the GPU's lower standing. Users who want to improve performance at higher resolutions should prioritize a GPU upgrade over a CPU change, as the i5-14400F is already well above average and its rivals show no meaningful difference.
