Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 produces a highly capable system for Fivem, with benchmark data showing that the combination's performance scales predictably with resolution and settings. At 1080p and 1440p, the system delivers frame rates well above the 60 FPS playability threshold across all tested presets, while 4K Ultra settings are the only configuration that falls below that mark. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance data, component roles, and how this combo compares to other tested hardware.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is identified from the measured data.

3840x2160 (4K): The highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which produces an average of 74 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 58 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, making Low the only playable setting at this resolution. High and Ultra presets yield 46 FPS and 36 FPS respectively, both well under the playable mark.

2560x1440 (1440p): The most demanding playable preset is Ultra, achieving an average of 65 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a modest margin of 5 FPS. The High preset runs at 84 FPS average, Medium at 105 FPS, and Low at 133 FPS, all comfortably above the threshold. Ultra is the best choice for maximum visual quality while remaining playable.

1920x1080 (1080p): The highest playable preset is Ultra, with an average of 99 FPS. This is the most demanding setting at this resolution and it still provides a substantial cushion above the 60 FPS minimum. High averages 127 FPS, Medium 159 FPS, and Low reaches 201 FPS. At 1080p, the system has ample headroom to run the game at maximum quality without any playability concerns.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the CPU and GPU contributions shift significantly across resolutions, with the GPU becoming the dominant factor as resolution increases.

At 1920x1080, the system achieves 201 FPS on Low settings and 99 FPS on Ultra, a performance delta of 102 FPS between the two presets. This wide gap suggests that the RTX 5060 is not fully saturated at lower settings, and the Intel Core i7-14700F, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU at high frame rates. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is approximately 51% of the Low score, indicating that the GPU's rendering load is the primary variable.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates compress: Low averages 133 FPS while Ultra averages 65 FPS, a delta of 68 FPS. The percentage drop from Low to Ultra is roughly 51%, similar to 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower. This indicates that the GPU is now doing more work per frame, yet the CPU still has enough headroom to maintain high minimum frame rates, as evidenced by the Medium preset's 89 FPS minimum.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings average 74 FPS, Medium drops to 58 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 49% reduction in frame rate, which is comparable to lower resolutions, but the absolute values are much lower. The 4K Ultra result of 36 FPS suggests that the RTX 5060's 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 128-bit bus are strained by the higher pixel count, while the CPU's role diminishes since the GPU is already saturated.

Across resolutions, the data shows that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU has sufficient single-thread and multi-thread performance to avoid limiting frame rates, as the i7-14700F's boost clock of 5.40 GHz and strong Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4958 indicate. At 4K, the GPU's raw throughput becomes the limiting factor, as the system's ability to maintain 60 FPS is restricted to Low settings only.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following section details the exact average, minimum, and maximum FPS values for every resolution and settings combination recorded in the benchmark data.

1920x1080:

• Low: 201 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Medium: 159 FPS average, 135 FPS minimum, 183 FPS maximum.
• High: 127 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Ultra: 99 FPS average, no min/max recorded.

At 1080p, the system demonstrates strong consistency, with the Medium preset showing a minimum of 135 FPS, which is still more than double the 60 FPS threshold. The difference between average and minimum FPS for Medium is 24 FPS, indicating minor frame time variance.

2560x1440:

• Low: 133 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Medium: 105 FPS average, 89 FPS minimum, 120 FPS maximum.
• High: 84 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Ultra: 65 FPS average, no min/max recorded.

The 1440p Medium preset shows a minimum of 89 FPS, which is well above the playable threshold. The gap between average and minimum is 16 FPS, suggesting tighter frame pacing than at 1080p. The Ultra preset's 65 FPS average has no recorded minimum, but given the Medium data, it is reasonable to infer that dips could approach the 60 FPS line.

3840x2160:

• Low: 74 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Medium: 58 FPS average, 49 FPS minimum, 67 FPS maximum.
• High: 46 FPS average, no min/max recorded.
• Ultra: 36 FPS average, no min/max recorded.

At 4K, the Medium preset provides the only min/max data, showing a 49 FPS minimum and 67 FPS maximum. This 18 FPS spread between average and minimum indicates that frame drops are more pronounced at higher resolutions, which is consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor. The Low preset's 74 FPS average is the only 4K configuration that consistently stays above 60 FPS.
