Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly capable Fivem experience, with the data showing a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions. At 1920x1080, this combination provides a wide margin of playability, averaging 93.8 FPS at Ultra settings and 116.4 FPS at High. The 2560x1440 resolution remains comfortable, with the Ultra preset still holding an average of 62.3 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. The only significant challenge appears at 3840x2160, where the Ultra preset drops to 33.5 FPS, and the High preset averages 40.5 FPS, indicating that 4K gaming requires substantial graphical compromises for this hardware duo.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data for this CPU-GPU combination in Fivem shows a consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the performance envelope is broad; the Low preset produces an average of 189.7 FPS, which is the highest observed in the entire dataset. The Medium preset at this resolution records 151.7 FPS, while High yields 116.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p averages 93.8 FPS, which is still comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold, leaving substantial headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios.

Moving to 2560x1440, the FPS averages remain high but exhibit a predictable reduction. Low settings average 124.9 FPS, Medium achieves 99.3 FPS, and High reaches 80.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution averages 62.3 FPS, placing it narrowly within the playable range. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction of roughly 30% to 40% across presets, illustrating the increasing pixel load on the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the performance picture shifts drastically. The Low preset averages 68.8 FPS, the only setting at this resolution to clear the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 56.2 FPS, which is just below the playable line, while High averages 40.5 FPS. Ultra at 4K is the weakest result in the dataset, with an average of only 33.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is roughly a 50% performance penalty, highlighting that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory interface are under significant strain at this resolution.

The data contains no min or max FPS values, so the analysis relies solely on averages, which represent the sustained performance over the benchmark run. The delta between resolutions is consistent, but the 4K results indicate a cliff effect—the drop from 1440p Ultra to 4K Low is nearly 10 FPS, while the jump from 4K Medium to 4K High is almost 16 FPS, suggesting that the memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor around 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving an average of 93.8 FPS. This is the optimal choice for users prioritizing visual fidelity, as it provides a nearly 34 FPS buffer over the playability threshold. The High preset, at 116.4 FPS, is also viable for higher refresh rate displays, but Ultra delivers the full visual package without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 62.3 FPS, which is the highest quality setting that remains above 60 FPS. This is a tight margin, only 2.3 FPS over the threshold, so players may experience occasional dips below 60 in crowded multiplayer scenes. For a more stable experience, the High preset at 80.6 FPS offers a substantially larger safety margin, though the data confirms that Ultra is technically playable.

For 3840x2160, the only setting that achieves a playable average is the Low preset, which produces 68.8 FPS. The Medium preset at 56.2 FPS does not meet the threshold, and the High preset at 40.5 FPS falls significantly short. This means that 4K gaming requires a reduction to Low settings, which also represents a substantial visual downgrade from the higher presets available at lower resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as resolution increases, while the CPU’s role is more pronounced at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the scaling from Low (189.7 FPS) to Ultra (93.8 FPS) shows a 95.9 FPS range, which indicates that the graphics card’s shading and memory throughput are the primary constraints. The Intel Core i5-14400F’s 10 cores and 16 threads are likely sufficient to feed the RTX 4060 at 1080p, as evidenced by the high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the performance gap between Low (124.9 FPS) and Ultra (62.3 FPS) narrows to 62.6 FPS, implying that the GPU’s fillrate and memory bandwidth become more critical as the pixel count increases. The CPU’s impact diminishes, as the frame rate is increasingly determined by the GPU’s rasterization speed. The i5-14400F, with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21645, is unlikely to be the limiting factor at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the component roles reverse significantly. The difference between Low (68.8 FPS) and Ultra (33.5 FPS) is 35.3 FPS, but the absolute frame rates are low enough that the GPU’s 8 GB memory capacity and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are the clear bottlenecks. The CPU’s performance becomes almost irrelevant at 4K, as the GPU operates near its limits even at Low settings. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K low shows a 120.9 FPS drop, which is a 63.7% reduction, proving that the RTX 4060’s 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is not sufficient for high-fidelity 4K gaming in this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

In the CPU arena, the Intel Core i5-14400F’s average benchmark score of 32279 places it in close contention with several other processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32283, a delta of 0.1% higher, meaning it would deliver nearly identical frame rates in CPU-limited scenarios. The Intel Core i9-11900 averages 32226, which is 0.2% lower, so users with that chip would see a negligible performance difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which is 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, 0.5% lower. These rivals are all within a 0.7% range, so swapping the i5-14400F for any of these would not produce a meaningful FPS change in Fivem, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU is the bottleneck.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639. The closest competitor is the AMD Radeon HD 7790, which scores 17666, a delta of -0.2%, meaning the RTX 4060 is slightly slower in synthetic tests. The AMD Radeon 780M, an integrated solution, scores 17588, 0.3% lower, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% lower. These deltas are all under 1%, so in real-world Fivem gameplay, a system with any of these GPUs would produce essentially identical frame rates, assuming a comparable CPU. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB memory is a key factor, and the Radeon Pro 460 also has 4 GB, which could be a limitation at higher resolutions, but the synthetic scores suggest similar compute performance.
