Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a commanding performance profile in Fivem, with every tested resolution and preset combination achieving playable frame rates above the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows a system that scales gracefully from 1080p to 4K, with the most demanding configuration—4K Ultra—landing exactly at 60 FPS average, while lower resolutions produce frame rates well into the triple digits. This combination ranks in the 94th percentile of tested systems, placing it comfortably among the top performers for this multiplayer title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this combination produces exceptional frame rates across all settings. The Low preset delivers an average of 333 FPS, while Medium reaches 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS and maximum of 302 FPS. High settings still manage 210 FPS average, and Ultra—the most demanding preset—produces 163 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is never remotely constrained, with even the heaviest settings leaving substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains robust but begins to show the expected scaling. Low settings yield 219 FPS average, Medium drops to 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and maximum of 199 FPS, High settings produce 138 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 107 FPS average. The minimum frame rate at Medium settings—147 FPS—still exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by more than double, suggesting consistent frame pacing even during demanding multiplayer scenes.

At 3840x2160, the system demonstrates its 4K capability. Low settings achieve 122 FPS average, Medium produces 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS and maximum of 110 FPS, High settings reach 77 FPS, and Ultra settles at exactly 60 FPS average. The Ultra preset at 4K represents the only configuration where the system sits precisely at the playable threshold—still playable, but with no margin for error during intense moments. The Medium preset at 4K, with its 82 FPS minimum, offers a more comfortable buffer while retaining substantial visual quality.

The frame data reveals a consistent pattern: each resolution step down from 4K to 1440p to 1080p yields roughly a 1.5x to 1.8x increase in average FPS at equivalent settings. For instance, High settings jump from 77 FPS at 4K to 138 FPS at 1440p to 210 FPS at 1080p, while Ultra goes from 60 FPS at 4K to 107 FPS at 1440p to 163 FPS at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The Core i5-14600KF and RTX 4080 combination holds rank 220 out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 6% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the substantial headroom the system maintains across most settings, with the 4K Ultra result being the only configuration that touches the 60 FPS floor. The percentile positioning—94th—indicates that only a small fraction of tested systems deliver higher average frame rates in this game.

This ranking is particularly notable given the game's multiplayer nature, where frame consistency matters as much as raw averages. The measured data includes minimum FPS figures for Medium settings at all three resolutions—82 FPS at 4K, 147 FPS at 1440p, and 223 FPS at 1080p—all of which remain far above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The system's ability to maintain high minimums suggests it can handle the unpredictable load spikes common in multiplayer environments without dropping below playable levels.

The rank of 220 places this configuration in the upper echelon of Fivem systems, though the gap between this combo and the very top performers likely stems from the game's CPU-heavy nature at lower resolutions, where the i5-14600KF's 14 cores and 20 threads are sufficient but not class-leading.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Fivem. At 1080p, the system's performance is dominated by CPU throughput—the RTX 4080 is capable of far higher frame rates than the CPU can feed at this resolution. Evidence for this comes from the 333 FPS Low result at 1080p, which represents a ceiling imposed by the processor rather than the graphics card.

The CPU's benchmarks support this interpretation. The i5-14600KF scores 32,544 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4,594 in single-core, with a PassMark single-thread score of 4,273. These figures place it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, indicating strong but not top-tier processing power. In Fivem's multiplayer environments, where many AI-driven entities and player interactions demand CPU attention, this processor provides the necessary headroom at 1080p.

As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes progressively more relevant. The RTX 4080's specifications—9,728 shading units, 76 RT cores, and 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth—allow it to handle the increased pixel throughput without becoming the primary bottleneck until the 4K Ultra preset. The transition from 1080p Ultra at 163 FPS to 4K Ultra at 60 FPS represents a 63% reduction in frame rate, driven almost entirely by GPU workload scaling.

The Medium settings with min/max data illustrate this balance clearly. At 1080p Medium, the 263 FPS average with a 223 FPS minimum suggests the CPU is near its limit, while at 4K Medium, the 96 FPS average with an 82 FPS minimum shows the GPU beginning to dominate. The system's verdict confirms all resolutions are playable, but the frame rate progression reveals that 4K Ultra is the first configuration where GPU limitations become the defining factor.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark performance all fall within a narrow band. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 scores 49,228 average, just 0.3% below the i5-14600KF's 49,394. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G at 49,196 (0.4% lower) and Intel Core Ultra 5 245 at 48,995 (0.8% lower) represent slightly slower alternatives. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 at 49,796 (0.8% higher) edges ahead. This tight grouping means any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical FPS in Fivem, particularly at 1080p where CPU performance matters most.

For the GPU, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER with an average score of 54,209, just 0.1% below the RTX 4080's 54,247—effectively identical in practice. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54,828 (1.1% higher) and AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55,698 (2.6% higher) offer marginal improvements in raw compute, while the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55,757 (2.7% higher) leads the group. These deltas are small enough that in Fivem, all four GPUs would produce frame rates within a few FPS of each other at any given resolution and preset.

The practical takeaway: users with any of these nearby CPUs or GPUs can expect Fivem performance within roughly 3% of the i5-14600KF + RTX 4080 combination. The 4K Ultra result of exactly 60 FPS could shift slightly with a faster GPU, but the overall verdict would remain unchanged.
