Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers exceptional performance in Fivem, a title that scales strongly with both CPU and GPU resources. This pairing sits in the 91st percentile for the processor and 86th percentile for the graphics card, indicating top-tier hardware that handles the game's multiplayer environments with ease. Across all tested resolutions, from 1080p to 4K, the system maintains frame rates well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the most demanding 4K Ultra preset still achieving exactly 60 FPS on average.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i7-14700F's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the Intel Xeon 6505P, which scores 53,701 versus the i7's 53,620, a negligible 0.2% difference. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is another close competitor, scoring 53,288, just 0.6% behind the i7-14700F. For gaming workloads like Fivem, the Ryzen 9 7900X would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance, particularly at lower resolutions where the processor becomes the primary bottleneck. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 and AMD EPYC 7313P also fall within 0.8% of the i7's average score, though these server-oriented parts are less relevant for consumer gaming builds.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080's closest rival is the RTX 4080 SUPER, with an average score of 54,209, just 0.1% higher. This means the base RTX 4080 and its SUPER variant would produce virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Fivem, making the SUPER an alternative for buyers seeking the absolute latest revision. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828, 1.1% ahead, while the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and Radeon 8060S trail by 2.6% and 2.7% respectively. These AMD options would show slightly lower but still playable performance, with the RX 6750 GRE representing a more mainstream alternative that might require dropping from Ultra to High settings at higher resolutions to maintain 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The i7-14700F and RTX 4080 combination ranks 220th out of 3,707 tested configurations in Fivem, placing it in the top 6% of all possible CPU-GPU pairings. This ranking reflects the synergy between the 20-core, 28-thread processor and the 9,728-shader GPU, both of which are near the top of their respective performance tiers. The percentile scores of 91 for the CPU and 86 for the GPU indicate that most other components in the database are slower, but the combo rank is slightly lower than either individual percentile because Fivem's multiplayer nature introduces server-side and network dependencies that cap absolute performance.

Benchmark data shows the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,122 and a single-core score of 4,958, while the GPU posts a PassMark G3D score of 34,457. These scores correlate strongly with Fivem's performance, as the game benefits from both high single-thread speed for game logic and high multi-core throughput for streaming player data. The 220th rank out of 3,707 means only a handful of configurations, typically those pairing flagship CPUs like the Ryzen 9 7950X with RTX 4090-class GPUs, would outperform this system.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the i7-14700F and RTX 4080 deliver exceptional frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 333 FPS, while Medium sees 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 and maximum of 302. High settings average 210 FPS, and Ultra still maintains a strong 163 FPS average. These numbers indicate the system is heavily CPU-limited at 1080p, as even the most demanding preset fails to drop below 160 FPS, suggesting the graphics card has ample headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains impressive but begins to show more GPU influence. Low settings average 219 FPS, Medium hits 173 FPS with a range of 147 to 199, High averages 138 FPS, and Ultra settles at 107 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 112 FPS, compared to 170 FPS at 1080p, demonstrating that the GPU starts to become more involved as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Low settings still manage 122 FPS on average, Medium drops to 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 and maximum of 110, High averages 77 FPS, and Ultra exactly hits the 60 FPS playable threshold. The scaling from 1080p Ultra at 163 FPS to 4K Ultra at 60 FPS represents a 63% reduction, which is consistent with the 4x pixel count increase requiring proportional GPU work.

The Verdict

This system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. At 3840x2160, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra averaging exactly 60 FPS. The 1440p resolution delivers even more headroom, with Ultra averaging 107 FPS and Low reaching 219 FPS. At 1080p, the system is overwhelmingly capable, with Ultra averaging 163 FPS and Low exceeding 300 FPS.

For users with 4K displays, the RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient resources for Fivem's high-resolution textures and draw distances. The 60 FPS average at 4K Ultra is a hard floor — the minimum frame rate data for that preset is not provided, but the 82 FPS minimum at 4K Medium suggests the GPU maintains consistent frame pacing even under load. Gamers prioritizing competitive play at 1080p or 1440p will find the system far exceeds typical 144Hz or 240Hz display refresh rates, particularly at Low and Medium settings where averages reach 333 and 263 FPS respectively.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the i7-14700F and RTX 4080 shifts dramatically across resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU dominates: the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 170 FPS (333 vs 163), but even at Ultra the GPU is not fully taxed, as evidenced by the 163 FPS average. This indicates the processor's 5.40 GHz boost clock and 33 MB of shared L3 cache are the primary drivers of performance, with the GPU waiting on CPU-bound game simulation.

At 1440p, the balance begins to shift. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra shows a 56 FPS drop (163 to 107), which is a 34% reduction. This is less than the pixel count increase, suggesting the CPU still holds some sway, but the GPU's role grows. The Medium preset at 1440p shows a minimum of 147 FPS, indicating the GPU can handle the load without significant frame drops.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The 1440p to 4K transition at Ultra shows a 47 FPS drop (107 to 60), a 44% reduction that aligns closely with the pixel count doubling. The Low preset at 4K still achieves 122 FPS, which is 63% of the 1080p Low score, showing the GPU's raw compute capabilities are sufficient for low-detail work but cannot maintain high-detail frame rates at 4K. This pattern confirms that Fivem players with 4K displays should prioritize GPU upgrades, while 1080p players are better served by CPU improvements.
