Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER lands at rank 2724 out of 3707 tested combos in the Fivem database. That places this configuration in the lower third of all recorded CPU-GPU pairings for this title, which reflects a mid-range GPU holding back a very strong processor. The combo rank is a direct result of the GPU's position in the broader hardware landscape: the RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs, while the i5-14600KF sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs. The data shows a clear imbalance, where the processor has far more headroom than the graphics card can utilize in most Fivem scenarios.

In context, this combo is not designed for top-tier 4K performance or maximum visual fidelity. It is a pairing that excels at 1080p and handles 1440p reasonably well, but struggles at 4K beyond low settings. The rank of 2724 out of 3707 means roughly 26% of tested combos perform worse, while 74% perform better. That is a meaningful distinction: this is not a weak PC overall, but in the specific context of Fivem's multiplayer workloads, it trails many newer or higher-tier configurations. The database positions this combo as a solid 1080p performer with 1440p capability at medium-to-high settings, but not as a high-refresh or 4K contender.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU split their responsibilities across resolutions in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 157.4 FPS on Low, 124.4 FPS on Medium, 97.3 FPS on High, and 74.7 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 52.6% drop in frame rate as settings increase, which indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The CPU, with its 14 cores and 20 threads and a strong single-thread score of 4594 in Cinebench R23, has ample capacity to feed the GPU at 1080p. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, is the limiting factor here.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop to 104.1 FPS on Low, 79.6 FPS on Medium, 68.1 FPS on High, and 52.5 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings reduces performance by roughly 33% to 35%, which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload. The CPU's role diminishes further at this resolution, as the increased pixel count demands more from the GPU's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 2176 shading units. At 1440p, the RTX 2060 SUPER is clearly the dominant factor, and the i5-14600KF's high boost clock of 5.30 GHz cannot compensate for the GPU's limits.

At 3840x2160, the picture becomes starkly GPU-limited. The combo produces 59.2 FPS on Low, 45 FPS on Medium, 33.4 FPS on High, and 27.8 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 53%, similar to the 1080p scaling, but the absolute numbers are far lower. The CPU's influence is negligible at this resolution; the data shows that even the strongest processor would not push these numbers higher because the RTX 2060 SUPER's memory interface and compute throughput are saturated. The verdict across resolutions is clear: at 1080p and 1440p, the GPU matters more than the CPU, and at 4K, the GPU is essentially the entire story.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, the CPU and GPU each have close performance neighbors that would produce similar Fivem results. For the Intel Core i5-14600KF, the nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 with an average benchmark score of 49228, which is 0.3% lower than the i5's 49394. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G trails by 0.4% at 49196, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is 0.8% behind at 48995. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 leads by 0.8% at 49796. These deltas are tiny, meaning any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Fivem, which is not heavily CPU-bound at the resolutions tested. A user swapping the i5-14600KF for any of these rivals would see essentially no measurable difference in frame rates.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile scores 18159, which is 0.4% below the RTX 2060 SUPER's 18093. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 sits 0.5% higher at 18189, the AMD Radeon RX 460 is 1.5% higher at 18373, and the Intel Arc A770M is 1.6% higher at 18383. These differences are within noise for real-world gaming, so swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these GPUs would produce very similar Fivem frame rates. The practical takeaway is that this combo sits in a cluster of hardware that all performs within a couple of percent of each other, and no single swap among these rivals would change the playability verdict at any resolution.

The Verdict

The database's verdict for this combo is straightforward: it can run Fivem at 60 FPS or higher at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, all four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) clear the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable setting at 1080p is Ultra with an average of 74.7 FPS, which leaves some headroom above the 60 FPS line. At 1440p, three settings clear 60 FPS: High at 68.1 FPS, Medium at 79.6 FPS, and Low at 104.1 FPS. The best playable setting at 1440p is High, since Ultra drops to 52.5 FPS, which is below the threshold. The verdict marks Ultra at 1440p as not playable.

At 4K, no settings are playable. The highest average FPS at 3840x2160 is 59.2 on Low, which just misses the 60 FPS mark. Medium delivers 45 FPS, High delivers 33.4 FPS, and Ultra delivers 27.8 FPS. The database records no playable settings at 4K for this combo, meaning a user would need to lower resolution or upgrade the GPU to achieve a smooth experience at that pixel count. For the vast majority of Fivem players using 1080p or 1440p monitors, this combo is fully capable of maintaining 60 FPS or higher, provided settings are chosen wisely.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings each, with average frame rates recorded but no minimum or maximum values available. At 1920x1080, the combo produces 157.4 FPS on Low, 124.4 FPS on Medium, 97.3 FPS on High, and 74.7 FPS on Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline of roughly 20% to 25% per step, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. The 1080p numbers are strong enough for high-refresh monitors at Low and Medium, and still comfortably above 60 FPS at Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the recorded averages are 104.1 FPS on Low, 79.6 FPS on Medium, 68.1 FPS on High, and 52.5 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is most pronounced at Low settings, where the frame rate falls by 33.8%, and least pronounced at Ultra, where it falls by 29.7%. This indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and pixel fill rate are the limiting factors, as higher settings increase the per-pixel workload. The 1440p data shows that High settings are the ceiling for 60 FPS, with Ultra falling 7.5 FPS short.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 59.2 FPS on Low, 45 FPS on Medium, 33.4 FPS on High, and 27.8 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results are uniformly below the 60 FPS threshold, with Low being the closest at 59.2 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at the same settings shows a reduction of 43% to 47%, which is consistent with the 2.25x increase in pixel count. The data makes it clear that this GPU cannot handle 4K in Fivem, regardless of settings, and the CPU's high benchmark scores do not alter that outcome.
