Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14600K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Fivem across all tested resolutions. Benchmark data shows the combo consistently exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold at every preset, with average frame rates ranging from 72 FPS at 4K Ultra to 376 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured results place this configuration in the top tier of tested systems, ranking 20th out of 3707 combinations. This analysis breaks down the performance characteristics, component roles, and optimal settings based strictly on the measured data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the performance envelope is extremely high. The Low preset produces an average of 376 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure for this combo. Medium settings yield 317 FPS average, with minimum and maximum values of 270 and 365 FPS respectively. High settings drop the average to 254 FPS, while the Ultra preset still maintains a robust 197 FPS average. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 179 FPS difference, indicating the GPU has ample headroom even at the most demanding preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain well above the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings deliver 265 FPS average, Medium achieves 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS and maximum of 240 FPS, High produces 167 FPS, and Ultra settles at 130 FPS average. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 30% across all presets, which is consistent with the increased pixel count of 78% more pixels to render.

At 3840x2160, performance stays playable but shows the expected decline. Low settings average 147 FPS, Medium drops to 116 FPS with minimum and maximum readings of 99 and 133 FPS, High yields 93 FPS, and Ultra produces 72 FPS average. The 4K Ultra figure is the only measurement that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, sitting 12 FPS above it. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 44% reduction in average FPS across presets, which aligns with the 2.25x pixel count increase.

The Medium preset is the only setting across all resolutions that reports complete min/max data. At 1080p Medium, the frame time consistency shows a 95 FPS range between minimum and maximum. At 1440p Medium, this range narrows to 62 FPS, and at 4K Medium it further compresses to 34 FPS. This pattern suggests higher resolutions produce more consistent frame pacing, likely due to reduced CPU bottlenecking at lower frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario at 4K, with the RTX 5090 D being the primary performance determinant. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 44% average FPS reduction, which closely matches the 2.25x pixel count increase, indicating the GPU is the limiting factor. At 4K Ultra specifically, the 72 FPS average represents a 45% drop from 1440p Ultra's 130 FPS, confirming the GPU's dominance at this resolution.

At 1080p and 1440p, the Intel Core i5-14600K plays a more significant role. The 1080p Low preset at 376 FPS suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough frames to reach very high rates, but the diminishing returns between presets indicate CPU overhead. The difference between 1080p Low and 1440p Low is 111 FPS, while the difference between 1440p Low and 4K Low is 118 FPS, showing a more balanced scaling that hints at partial CPU limitation at lower resolutions.

The Core i5-14600K's 14 cores and 20 threads, with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, provide the single-thread performance necessary for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The 24 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache help maintain low-latency access to game data. The CPU's benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24491 and single-core score of 2064, demonstrate strong performance that complements the GPU's capabilities.

The RTX 5090 D's specifications support its role as the primary renderer. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus delivering 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, the GPU has sufficient memory capacity and bandwidth for 4K textures. The 21760 shading units and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance provide the computational throughput needed for high-setting rendering, while the 170 RT cores handle any ray-traced effects Fivem may employ.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is the most demanding setting that maintains at least 60 FPS, averaging 72 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available at 4K while remaining playable. The High preset at 93 FPS and Medium at 116 FPS offer additional headroom if frame rates above 72 FPS are preferred, but Ultra provides the best visual quality within the playable threshold.

For 2560x1440, Ultra settings achieve an average of 130 FPS, making it the best choice for maximum visual fidelity at this resolution. The 130 FPS figure is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, providing substantial margin for demanding multiplayer scenarios. High settings at 167 FPS and Medium at 209 FPS remain available for users prioritizing higher refresh rates.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 197 FPS average, which is the optimal balance of quality and performance. This represents the highest settings option while staying far above the 60 FPS minimum. The Low preset at 376 FPS and Medium at 317 FPS are alternatives for competitive play, but Ultra's 197 FPS already exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution confirms this combo can run Fivem at all tested settings. At 3840x2160, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, with Ultra being the best setting at 72 FPS average. The minimum recorded FPS at 4K Medium is 99, which stays 39 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating strong frame time stability even under load.

At 2560x1440, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 130 FPS. The minimum at Medium is 178 FPS, providing a 118 FPS buffer above the playable threshold. This resolution offers the best combination of visual quality and performance headroom, making it the recommended target for users with high refresh rate displays.

At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra achieving 197 FPS average. The Medium preset's minimum of 270 FPS and maximum of 365 FPS shows the combo can sustain very high frame rates at this resolution. Based on the data, this system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and settings combination tested.
