Fivem

Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data for this combination of an Intel Core i5-14400F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER shows a clear performance ceiling. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS does not exist at this resolution, as even Low settings average only 29 FPS. Medium averages 18 FPS, High averages 12 FPS, and Ultra averages 7 FPS. None of these come close to the playable threshold, so the verdict for 4K is unequivocal: this combo cannot deliver a smooth experience at any setting.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the target. Low settings average 55 FPS, which is the closest approach to 60 FPS across all presets at this resolution, but it still falls short. Medium averages 34 FPS, High averages 23 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The database records no playable settings for 1440p, meaning the 60 FPS threshold is not cleared by any preset. The best playable setting is therefore null, and the average FPS at that best setting is also null.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes. Low settings deliver an average of 86 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with substantial headroom. This is the only preset at 1080p that achieves playable status. Medium settings average 54 FPS, just below the threshold, with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 62 FPS. High averages 36 FPS, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. The database identifies Low as the best playable setting at 1080p, with an average of 86 FPS. For users targeting 1080p, Low is the only viable preset, and it does so comfortably.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates in Fivem. This game is primarily a multiplayer title, and the data suggests a strong dependency on the GPU as resolution increases. Comparing 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, the average FPS drops from 86 to 55, a reduction of 36%. Moving from 1440p to 4K at Low settings, the average drops from 55 to 29, another 47% reduction. This steep decline as pixel count rises indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU, a 10-core, 16-thread Intel Core i5-14400F with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, has ample headroom for this workload, as evidenced by its strong synthetic scores. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21645 multi-core and 3055 single-core, placing it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. This level of processing power is unlikely to bottleneck a GPU of this class in a multiplayer game scenario.

At 1080p, the role of the CPU becomes more visible, but the GPU still governs the outcome. The gap between Low (86 FPS) and Medium (54 FPS) is 37%, which is a larger relative drop than the transition from Medium to High (54 to 36 FPS, a 33% drop). This non-linear scaling suggests that the game's rendering pipeline at 1080p is sensitive to GPU load, but the CPU is not the primary constraint. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS differences between presets would be smaller, as the GPU would be waiting on the processor. Instead, the consistent FPS drops across presets at each resolution point to the GPU as the dominant factor.

The CPU's role is more about maintaining minimum frame stability. At 1080p Medium, the recorded minimum is 46 FPS, while the maximum is 62 FPS. This 16 FPS spread indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU consistently, but the GPU's rendering time varies. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 29 FPS and the maximum is 39 FPS, a 10 FPS spread. The tighter range at higher resolution suggests that the GPU is more uniformly saturated, reducing frame time variance. The i5-14400F, with 16 threads and a 20 MB L3 cache, provides sufficient multi-threaded performance for the game's simulation and network code, but the recorded data shows that resolution scaling is the primary driver of FPS changes. In summary, the RTX 2060 SUPER dictates performance at all resolutions, while the i5-14400F ensures the GPU is not starved of data.

The Verdict

This combination of an Intel Core i5-14400F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings, and the best preset is null. At 2560x1440, the same applies, with no playable settings and a null best preset. At 1920x1080, the situation is different. The playable settings list includes only Low, and the best setting is Low, with an average FPS of 86.

The data shows that 1080p is the only resolution where this combo clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so only on the lowest preset. Medium settings at 1080p average 54 FPS, which is a near miss, but the minimum of 46 FPS indicates that dips below 60 FPS would be frequent. For users who prioritize smoothness over visual fidelity, 1080p Low is the target. For those who want higher settings or higher resolutions, this hardware will not deliver a playable experience. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit bus, is the limiting factor, and the i5-14400F's strong multi-core performance cannot compensate for the GPU's rendering ceiling in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded FPS data is broken down by resolution and settings. At 3840x2160, the averages are as follows: High averages 12 FPS, Low averages 29 FPS, Medium averages 18 FPS with a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 21, and Ultra averages 7 FPS. The lack of min/max data for High, Low, and Ultra in the database indicates that only the average was recorded for those settings, but the Medium setting has a measurable range.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: High averages 23 FPS, Low averages 55 FPS, Medium averages 34 FPS with a minimum of 29 and a maximum of 39, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. Again, only Medium has min/max data recorded. At 1920x1080, the averages are: High averages 36 FPS, Low averages 86 FPS, Medium averages 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 and a maximum of 62, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. The Medium setting at 1080p is the only one across all resolutions where the maximum FPS exceeds the playable threshold, but the average remains below it.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent. Low settings provide the highest FPS, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The FPS drops are not linear; the gap between Low and Medium is larger than the gap between Medium and High at every resolution. This suggests that the game's medium preset introduces a significant GPU load increase, while the high preset adds less incremental load. The minimum FPS data for Medium settings shows that frame drops are more severe at higher resolutions, with a 16 FPS spread at 1080p and a 10 FPS spread at 1440p.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this combination of an Intel Core i5-14400F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 3632 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the bottom 2% of all combinations, which is a low position. The ranking reflects the measured FPS data, which shows that the combo cannot handle the game at high settings or high resolutions. The percentile scores for the individual components are more favorable: the CPU is in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. However, for this specific game, the combination performs poorly relative to other pairings.

The low combo rank is driven by the GPU. While the i5-14400F is a strong processor, the RTX 2060 SUPER is an older mid-range card, and Fivem's rendering demands at higher presets overwhelm it. The rank of 3632 out of 3707 indicates that most other tested combos achieve better FPS in this game. For context, the nearest rival GPUs, such as the RTX 3060 Mobile and Radeon Pro 5700, have similar average scores, but the measured game performance shows that this specific pairing is not optimized for Fivem's engine. Users considering this combo should expect lower-than-average performance in this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals in the database, several alternative components would behave similarly to this combo. On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has an average score of 32233, which is 0.1% lower than the i5-14400F. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, a 0.5% difference. These CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, as the game is not CPU-bound at the resolutions tested.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile has an average score of 18159, which is 0.4% higher than the RTX 2060 SUPER. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, a 0.5% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, which is 1.5% higher, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, a 1.6% difference. These GPUs would deliver very similar FPS in Fivem, meaning users with any of these alternatives would see the same playable settings: 1080p Low only, with 1440p and 4K being unplayable.

For a user considering an upgrade or a different build, swapping the CPU to any of the listed rivals would not change the outcome, as the GPU remains the bottleneck. Swapping the GPU to any of the listed rivals would also not change the outcome, as the performance delta is less than 2%. This combo sits in a performance tier where Fivem is only playable at 1080p Low, and the alternatives are equally constrained. The data shows that to achieve higher settings or resolutions, a significant GPU upgrade would be necessary, but that is beyond the scope of this analysis.
