Fivem

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-14400F sits in a tightly packed performance cluster based on the database's aggregate benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score of 32279 places it within a fraction of a percent of several competing processors. The closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, which scores 32233, a delta of just 0.1%. The Intel Core i9-11900 trails by a similar margin at 32226, also 0.2% behind. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which is 0.2% ahead of the i5-14400F. The Intel Core i7-12800H rounds out this group with a score of 32121, sitting 0.5% behind. In practical terms, all four of these processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable CPU-bound performance in Fivem. The i5-14400F's 10 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, give it a strong single-thread foundation, and the database places it in the 83rd percentile against all CPUs.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 posts an average benchmark score of 15290, placing it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are remarkably close in aggregate performance. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 scores 15283, a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics score 15270, just 0.1% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, trailing by 0.6%, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, which is 0.8% behind. Despite the RTX 2060 being from the Turing generation with 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, these rivals span different architectures and market segments. The data indicates that in Fivem, a system with any of these GPUs paired with a similarly matched CPU would produce near-identical frame rates. The RTX 2060's 1920 shading units and 30 RT cores provide the raw throughput, but the benchmark deltas suggest that the game is not heavily dependent on the specific strengths of any one of these cards.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data for Fivem reveals a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, while the CPU holds frame rates at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the game runs at 147.7 FPS on Low settings, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU, with its strong single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3055), is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to sustain high output. At 3840x2160, the same Low preset drops to 52.6 FPS, a reduction of 95.1 FPS. This massive drop is attributable to the GPU's pixel throughput limits; the RTX 2060 has a pixel rate of 80.64 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 201.6 GTexel/s, which become saturated at 4K resolution.

The scaling between presets further clarifies the division of labor. At 2560x1440, moving from Low to Medium reduces the average FPS from 93.2 to 76, a loss of 17.2 FPS. Moving from Medium to High drops it to 62, another 14 FPS loss. The jump from High to Ultra is severe: 46.1 FPS, a 15.9 FPS decline. This pattern repeats at 1920x1080, where Low runs at 147.7 FPS, Medium at 117.7, High at 91.2, and Ultra at 73.2. The consistent step-downs across presets suggest that the GPU is the primary bottleneck for visual quality settings, as each increase in graphical load directly reduces frame output. The CPU's role is more evident at lower resolutions and lower presets, where frame rates exceed 100 FPS; here, the i5-14400F's throughput (PassMark multi-thread score of 25470) ensures that the GPU is not starved of draw calls.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's dominance is absolute. Even on Low settings, the frame rate only reaches 52.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The RTX 2060's 6 GB memory capacity and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K workloads in this game. The data shows that at 4K, the CPU has little influence on the outcome; the GPU is the sole determinant of performance. Conversely, at 1080p, the CPU's headroom is visible: the difference between Low and Ultra is 74.5 FPS, and even Ultra stays above 60 FPS. This indicates that the CPU can maintain high frame rates while the GPU handles the increased graphical load. For users with this combo, the takeaway is that the RTX 2060 caps performance at higher resolutions, while the i5-14400F provides ample margin at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 and i5-14400F combination falls short of the 60 FPS target across all four presets. The Low preset yields an average of 52.6 FPS, which is the highest recorded at this resolution. Medium drops to 43.3 FPS, High to 32.5 FPS, and Ultra to 28.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 24.1 FPS, indicating that the GPU's compute resources (6.451 TFLOPS FP32) are heavily taxed by 4K rendering. No min or max FPS values were recorded, but the averages alone show that this resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves significantly. The Low preset runs at 93.2 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium maintains 76 FPS, and High holds at 62 FPS, just barely clearing the playable mark. Ultra, however, falls to 46.1 FPS, which is below the threshold. The transition from High to Ultra represents a 15.9 FPS drop, the largest step between consecutive presets at this resolution. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces graphical features that the GPU cannot handle at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS. Low runs at 147.7 FPS, Medium at 117.7 FPS, High at 91.2 FPS, and Ultra at 73.2 FPS. The margin above the threshold is substantial even at Ultra, with 13.2 FPS of headroom. The scaling is consistent: each preset step costs roughly 20 to 30 FPS, with the largest drop occurring between Medium and High (26.5 FPS). The i5-14400F's strong single-thread performance (Geekbench single-core score of 2058) ensures that even at 147.7 FPS, the CPU is not the limiting factor.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution. According to the verdict data, the 3840x2160 resolution has no playable settings; the highest average FPS is 52.6 on Low, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Users with 4K displays will need to lower resolution or upgrade the GPU, as no preset achieves smooth performance.

At 2560x1440, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on three presets: Low (93.2 FPS), Medium (76 FPS), and High (62 FPS). The best playable setting is High, which achieves 62 FPS on average. This leaves a slim margin of 2 FPS above the threshold, so users seeking more stability might prefer Medium at 76 FPS. Ultra is not playable at this resolution, as it drops to 46.1 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable. All four presets exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra achieving 73.2 FPS, High at 91.2, Medium at 117.7, and Low at 147.7. The best playable setting is Ultra, which provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a 13.2 FPS buffer above the threshold. This is the recommended resolution for this hardware combo, as it offers the most headroom and the full range of graphical options.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's measured combinations for Fivem, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 2856 out of 3707 tested combos. This places it in the lower 23rd percentile of all systems tested, meaning that roughly 77% of recorded combinations perform better in this specific game. The rank reflects the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions; the RTX 2060's mid-range standing (58th percentile among all GPUs) drags down the overall combo performance, despite the CPU's stronger position (83rd percentile among all CPUs). The data suggests that users with this combo are likely to experience average frame rates relative to the broader test pool, with the GPU being the primary constraint in Fivem.
