Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers a strongly resolution-dependent experience in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the combination is overwhelmingly capable, pushing well past the 60 FPS threshold at every preset and hitting a peak of 175 FPS on Low. Moving to 2560x1440, the system remains solidly playable, with High settings averaging 73 FPS, though the Ultra preset dips to 56 FPS, just below the playable line. At 3840x2160, the picture changes dramatically: only the Low preset manages to clear 60 FPS, with an average of 64 FPS, while Medium and High fall to 50 FPS and 40 FPS respectively, and Ultra bottoms out at 31 FPS. The data indicates a system that is a 1080p and 1440p champion, but one that struggles to maintain high refresh rates at 4K with demanding settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this configuration reveals a clear scaling pattern tied to both resolution and graphical preset. At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its strongest performance. On Low settings, the average FPS reaches 175, providing an exceptionally smooth experience for fast-paced multiplayer action. Medium settings still deliver a robust 138 FPS average, with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS, indicating consistent frame pacing. High settings bring the average down to 111 FPS, which remains far above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Even the most demanding Ultra preset at 1080p maintains a healthy 86 FPS average, meaning users can max out the game's visuals without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down but remains largely impressive. The Low preset delivers an average of 115 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium settings produce a 91 FPS average, with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS, showing that even in heavy scenes, the frame rate stays comfortably playable. High settings at 1440p yield a 73 FPS average, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a good balance between visual fidelity and performance. However, the Ultra preset at this resolution drops to a 56 FPS average, which falls short of the playable threshold and may result in noticeable stutter during intense moments.

The 3840x2160 results show a significant performance cliff. At 4K, the Low preset manages an average of 64 FPS, barely clearing the 60 FPS line and representing the only playable option at this resolution. Medium settings drop to a 50 FPS average, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 58 FPS, indicating that frame rates will often dip below the smoothness threshold. High settings at 4K produce just 40 FPS on average, while the Ultra preset falls to 31 FPS. These numbers clearly show that the RX 9060's 8 GB of memory and 128-bit memory bus are insufficient for high-fidelity 4K gaming in Fivem, as the GPU becomes the limiting factor at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a shifting balance between CPU and GPU influence depending on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more prominent role. The i7-14700F, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, provides ample headroom for Fivem's multiplayer logic and physics calculations. The relatively small performance drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p (175 FPS down to 86 FPS) suggests that the GPU is still capable at this resolution, and the frame rates are high enough that CPU-bound scenarios may occur, especially in densely populated servers.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert more influence. The performance gap between Low and Ultra widens significantly (115 FPS down to 56 FPS), indicating that the RX 9060's rendering workload is becoming more demanding. The GPU's 8 GB of VRAM and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth start to show limitations, particularly with the Ultra preset, which likely increases texture and shadow complexity beyond what the memory subsystem can efficiently handle. The CPU still provides sufficient performance to feed the GPU at this resolution, as evidenced by the 73 FPS average at High settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck. The dramatic drop in performance across all presets (64 FPS at Low, 50 FPS at Medium, 40 FPS at High, 31 FPS at Ultra) clearly demonstrates that the RX 9060 is overwhelmed by the pixel count and shader workload at 4K. The CPU's capabilities, while strong, are largely irrelevant at this resolution because the GPU simply cannot process frames fast enough. The 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 64 ROPs are insufficient for 4K gaming at high settings in Fivem, which is reflected in the sub-60 FPS results for all presets except Low.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear and resolution-dependent. At 1920x1080, this PC can run Fivem exceptionally well, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, including the most demanding Ultra setting which averages 86 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system remains playable at High, Medium, and Low presets, with the High preset achieving a 73 FPS average, though the Ultra preset at 56 FPS falls short. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable, averaging 64 FPS, while all other presets fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates that for the best balance of visual quality and performance, users should target 1920x1080 with Ultra settings or 2560x1440 with High settings. The system is not recommended for 4K gaming beyond the most minimal settings, as the GPU lacks the raw throughput and memory bandwidth to maintain smooth frame rates.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what similar hardware would achieve. The CPU's closest competitor is the Intel Xeon 6505P, which scores 53701 in average benchmarks, a negligible 0.2% below the i7-14700F's 53620. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is also closely matched at 53288, just 0.6% behind. These processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, as CPU performance is more than sufficient at all tested resolutions.

For the GPU, the closest match is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 16129 versus the RX 9060's 16014, a difference of only 0.7%. This means a system with an RTX 3060 Ti would perform essentially the same in Fivem, with the same resolution and preset limitations. The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is also within 1% of the RX 9060's performance, scoring 15852. Systems built with any of these GPUs would exhibit nearly identical FPS numbers, meaning they would all struggle at 4K High or Ultra settings while excelling at 1080p and 1440p.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice, delivering an 86 FPS average. This provides the best visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Users can enable all graphical features without worrying about performance degradation.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the optimal selection, producing a 73 FPS average. This offers a good balance of visual fidelity and smoothness, though users who prioritize frame rate over graphics could choose Medium for a 91 FPS average. The Ultra preset at 56 FPS should be avoided as it falls below the playable threshold.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only viable option, averaging 64 FPS. While this provides a playable experience, the visual quality is significantly reduced compared to other resolutions. Users who insist on 4K gaming with this hardware will need to accept substantial graphical compromises, as Medium (50 FPS), High (40 FPS), and Ultra (31 FPS) all fail to maintain smooth frame rates.
