Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a strong performance profile for Fivem, with benchmark data showing a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combo produces an average of 260 FPS on Low settings, dropping to 205.7 FPS on Medium, 160.6 FPS on High, and 126.6 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 169.2 FPS (Low), 137.6 FPS (Medium), 107.1 FPS (High), and 85.4 FPS (Ultra). At 3840x2160, the numbers tighten: 91.9 FPS (Low), 71.6 FPS (Medium), 58.4 FPS (High), and 44.7 FPS (Ultra). The data set includes no minimum or maximum frame time values, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent trend: Fivem scales predictably with both resolution and graphical preset. At 1080p, the RTX 4070 and i5-14400F combination is clearly GPU-bound at lower presets, with the Low preset hitting 260 FPS—a figure that suggests the CPU is feeding the GPU efficiently. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs roughly 54 FPS (260 to 205.7), while the step from High to Ultra costs 34 FPS (160.6 to 126.6). This indicates that the Ultra preset imposes a significant load, but the combo still maintains well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts. The Low preset delivers 169.2 FPS, which is still exceptionally high, and Medium drops to 137.6 FPS. High and Ultra produce 107.1 and 85.4 FPS respectively. The gap between Medium and High (30.5 FPS) is larger than the gap between High and Ultra (21.7 FPS), suggesting that the High preset introduces a notable increase in shading or texture work. Across all presets at 1440p, the average FPS never falls below 85, meaning the system has substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors.

The 4K results are where the limits appear. Low settings yield 91.9 FPS, which is still playable, and Medium drops to 71.6 FPS—both above the 60 FPS threshold. However, High settings average 58.4 FPS, just below the playable mark, and Ultra falls to 44.7 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium at 4K is 20.3 FPS, while the delta between Medium and High is 13.2 FPS, and between High and Ultra it is 13.7 FPS. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, as the rendering load increases disproportionately with each preset tier.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark database ranks this specific CPU-GPU combination at 992 out of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem. That places it in the top 26.8% of all configurations tested. The percentile ranking is strong, but not elite—there are many high-end combos that exceed it, particularly those using faster GPUs or CPUs with higher core counts. The rank reflects the balance of the i5-14400F and RTX 4070, which is a mid-to-high-tier pairing that excels at 1080p and 1440p but begins to struggle at 4K with demanding presets.

The combo rank is derived from the measured FPS data, which includes all resolution and preset combinations. The fact that this pairing ranks in the top quarter of all tested systems indicates that it outperforms the vast majority of alternatives, including those with older flagship GPUs or CPUs. However, the rank also shows that for 4K Ultra gaming, this combo is not a top-tier choice—it would sit well below systems with RTX 4080-class GPUs or better.

In terms of raw benchmark scores, the CPU and GPU each have their own percentiles. The i5-14400F sits at the 83rd percentile versus all CPUs, while the RTX 4070 is at the 81st percentile versus all GPUs. Both are above average, but their combined performance in Fivem is slightly lower than their individual percentiles might suggest, likely due to the game's specific engine limitations and multiplayer CPU overhead.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide insight into what other hardware would behave similarly. For the Intel Core i5-14400F, the closest matches in average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (0.1% higher score), Intel Core i9-11900 (0.2% higher), AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS (0.2% lower), and Intel Core i7-12800H (0.5% higher). These rivals have nearly identical average scores, meaning a system built with any of them would likely produce very similar FPS in Fivem, provided the GPU remains the same. The i9-11900 is particularly relevant as a desktop alternative, while the mobile chips (Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, Ryzen 7 6800HS, Core i7-12800H) would be used in laptops with potentially different thermal constraints.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (0.1% higher score), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.4% higher), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (1.3% lower), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (1.3% higher). The Tesla P4 is a data-center card, but its benchmark score is nearly identical to the RTX 4070, suggesting similar raw compute performance. The RX Vega 56 is an older AMD card that still holds up, while the RTX 4080 Mobile is a laptop variant that is only 1.3% slower on average—meaning a gaming laptop with that GPU would be a close match. The Radeon PRO W6400 is a workstation card that scores slightly higher on average, but its driver optimization for gaming may differ.

If a user were to swap the RTX 4070 for any of these rivals, the FPS in Fivem would change by less than 1.5%, assuming no other bottlenecks. Similarly, swapping the i5-14400F for a rival CPU would shift performance by less than 0.5%. This means that the overall experience—playable at 1080p and 1440p, borderline at 4K High—would remain largely unchanged.

The Verdict

The data clearly answers the question: yes, this PC can run Fivem, and it does so with significant headroom at most settings. The verdict by resolution shows that at 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low (91.9 FPS) and Medium (71.6 FPS), with the best playable setting being Medium at an average of 71.6 FPS. High and Ultra at 4K fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with averages of 58.4 and 44.7 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, and the best setting is Ultra with an average of 85.4 FPS. This means users can max out the game at 1440p without dropping below 60 FPS, which is an excellent result for a 1440p monitor with a high refresh rate. At 1920x1080, the same situation applies—all presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 126.6 FPS. Even the most demanding preset at 1080p provides more than double the playable threshold.

For users targeting 60 FPS as a minimum, the system is fully capable at 1080p and 1440p with any preset. At 4K, users should stick to Medium settings to stay above 60 FPS, or accept slightly lower performance on High. The Ultra preset at 4K is not viable for smooth gameplay, as the average FPS of 44.7 will produce noticeable stuttering in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU split the workload in Fivem. The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p costs over 133 FPS (260 to 126.6), which is a massive drop caused by increased GPU load. The CPU, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, has enough headroom to feed the GPU at these frame rates, as evidenced by the 260 FPS Low result.

At 1440p, the GPU load increases further, but the CPU still keeps up. The average FPS at 1440p Low is 169.2, which is 90.8 FPS lower than 1080p Low. This drop is entirely attributable to the GPU working harder to render more pixels. The CPU is not the limiting factor here, as the frame rates remain high enough to suggest no CPU bottleneck.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The average FPS at 4K Low is 91.9, which is more than 168 FPS lower than 1080p Low. This massive reduction indicates that the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit bus are being saturated. The CPU's role diminishes at this resolution because the GPU cannot produce frames fast enough to stress the processor. The i5-14400F's single-core performance, which scores 3,055 in Cinebench R23, is more than sufficient for Fivem's multiplayer logic, but the GPU's 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the limiting factor at 4K.

The preset scaling also shows that Fivem is more GPU-intensive at higher settings. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Medium is 54.3 FPS, while at 4K, the same gap is 20.3 FPS. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the GPU has spare capacity, so increasing settings has a larger relative impact. At 4K, the GPU is already near its limits, so preset changes have a smaller absolute effect.
