Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a broad range of performance in Fivem, scaling from a demanding 4K experience to a high-refresh-rate 1080p setup. Measured data shows this combination is capable of 60 FPS at every tested resolution, provided the settings are adjusted appropriately. At 4K, the combo averages 50 FPS on High settings, but drops to 35.8 FPS on Ultra, while at 1440p and 1080p, it comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold even on the most demanding preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results show a clear pattern across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo produces an average of 50 FPS on High settings, 63.6 FPS on Medium, 80.3 FPS on Low, and 35.8 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Medium and High is 13.6 FPS, while the jump from Medium to Low adds 16.7 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution. Ultra settings impose a severe penalty, with the average dropping by 27.8 FPS compared to High, pushing the experience below the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p), the headroom increases substantially. High settings deliver 88.1 FPS, Medium reaches 110.9 FPS, and Low hits 139.2 FPS. Ultra settings still manage 69.1 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS playable mark. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is significant; for instance, High settings improve by 38.1 FPS, and Ultra improves by 33.3 FPS.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the combination shows its strongest performance. Ultra settings average 105.1 FPS, High reaches 138.2 FPS, Medium hits 171.2 FPS, and Low produces 215.4 FPS. The difference between Medium and High is 33 FPS, and the jump from High to Low adds another 77.2 FPS, showcasing the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. All presets at 1080p are far above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding preset providing a substantial margin.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested CPU and GPU combinations in the database, this specific pairing ranks 1561 out of 3707 combos for Fivem. This places it in the 42nd percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms roughly 58% of configurations but is not near the top tier. The rank reflects a balanced mid-to-high-end setup that can handle the game at high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but struggles to maintain smooth performance at 4K with maximum settings.

The CPU’s individual performance percentile is 83, indicating it is in the top 17% of all CPUs tested, while the GPU sits at the 61st percentile. This disparity suggests the RTX 3070 is the limiting factor in this pairing, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU’s 8 GB memory and Ampere architecture are more taxed. The combo’s overall rank is pulled down by the GPU’s relative standing, even though the CPU is a strong performer.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary limiter at 4K, where dropping from Medium to Low increases FPS by 16.7, while at 1080p the CPU keeps up well enough that the GPU remains the bottleneck. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking versus the GPU’s 61st percentile indicates the GPU is the weaker link.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between High and Ultra at 1080p?

A: High averages 138.2 FPS, while Ultra averages 105.1 FPS. This represents a 33.1 FPS drop, or approximately 24% lower performance, when enabling Ultra settings.

Q: Does the combo rank well against other systems?

A: It ranks 1561 out of 3707 combos, which places it in the upper-middle tier. It beats over half of the tested configurations but is not in the top percentile for Fivem performance.

Users with these GPUs can expect comparable results to the RTX 3070 at the same settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the balance shifts between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The difference between Low and Medium settings is 16.7 FPS, and between Medium and High it is 13.6 FPS, showing that each preset step has a significant impact on the GPU load. The CPU has enough headroom at this resolution, as evidenced by the 80.3 FPS on Low, which is not a CPU-bound result.

At 1440p, the GPU remains the primary constraint, but the CPU’s role becomes more apparent. The scaling from 4K to 1440p at High settings improves FPS by 38.1, and at Ultra by 33.3. This improvement is driven by the reduced pixel count, which lowers GPU load. However, the CPU still has sufficient capacity, as the 139.2 FPS on Low settings indicates there is no CPU bottleneck.

At 1080p, the CPU starts to matter more, though the GPU still leads. The jump from Medium to High is 33 FPS, and from High to Low is 77.2 FPS, which are larger absolute gains than at higher resolutions. This suggests the GPU is still the limiting factor, as reducing settings lowers the GPU workload, allowing the CPU to push more frames. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking versus the GPU’s 61st percentile confirms that the GPU is the weaker component in this pairing.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i5-14400F and RTX 3070 can run Fivem at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low (80.3 FPS) and Medium (63.6 FPS), while High and Ultra fall below 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 69.1 FPS, High at 88.1 FPS, Medium at 110.9 FPS, and Low at 139.2 FPS. At 1920x1080, every preset exceeds 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 105.1 FPS, High at 138.2 FPS, Medium at 171.2 FPS, and Low at 215.4 FPS. The system clears the 60 FPS threshold at 1440p and 1080p with all settings, while 4K requires dropping to Medium or below.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which averages 63.6 FPS. Low settings also work, but Medium provides a better visual quality while maintaining playability. At 2560x1440, the best preset is Ultra, averaging 69.1 FPS, which is the highest quality setting available and still clears the threshold. For 1920x1080, the best preset is Ultra, averaging 105.1 FPS. This provides the maximum visual fidelity with a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, making it the ideal choice for this resolution.
