Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an overwhelmingly capable combination for Fivem, ranking in the 97th percentile of all 3,707 tested combos. Benchmark data confirms this system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every preset level across all three tested resolutions, with the most demanding Ultra preset averaging 66 FPS at 4K, 119 FPS at 1440p, and 180 FPS at 1080p. The only caveat is that at 4K Ultra, the average of 66 FPS sits close to the playable threshold, leaving less headroom for drops than at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

This configuration ranks 97th out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 3% of all possible CPU-GPU pairings for this game. That ranking reflects a system where neither component acts as a bottleneck at any resolution tested. The CPU's percentile versus all CPUs is 94, while the GPU's percentile versus all GPUs is 88, indicating both parts are near the top of their respective hierarchies. The combination's in-game rank of 97 slightly exceeds what either component achieves individually, suggesting the pairing is exceptionally well balanced for Fivem's specific workload demands.

The data shows the RTX 4090's raw throughput is the dominant factor at higher resolutions. At 4K, the step from Medium to Ultra costs 40 FPS (from 106 to 66), while the step from Low to Medium costs only 29 FPS (from 135 to 106). This pattern indicates that the Ultra preset introduces rendering features that heavily tax even the most powerful GPU. At 1440p, the same Ultra step costs 72 FPS (from 191 to 119), while at 1080p it costs 110 FPS (from 290 to 180). This scaling demonstrates that the RTX 4090 has ample headroom at lower resolutions, where the i7-14700K's strong single-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2160) ensures the CPU keeps up with the GPU's frame generation.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 66 FPS. While this clears the threshold, the margin is only 6 FPS, so players sensitive to frame drops might prefer High at 85 FPS for additional stability.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is also Ultra, with an average of 119 FPS. This provides nearly double the playable threshold, making it the ideal resolution for high-refresh-rate monitors without compromising visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, Ultra runs at an average of 180 FPS, fully saturating any 144Hz or even 165Hz display. The Low preset at this resolution reaches 368 FPS, which is useful for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized over visuals.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K with everything maxed out?

A: Yes. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 averages 66 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The minimum recorded FPS at 4K Medium is 90, suggesting drops are not severe even at lower presets.

Q: How does the 4K Ultra performance compare to 1440p Ultra?

A: 4K Ultra averages 66 FPS, while 1440p Ultra averages 119 FPS — a difference of 53 FPS. This indicates that 4K places significant additional load on the GPU, cutting frame rates nearly in half despite the same settings quality.

Q: Is the CPU holding back the GPU at 1080p?

A: No. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 368 FPS average, and at Ultra it still manages 180 FPS. The i7-14700K's single-thread score of 2160 in Cinebench R23 and multi-core score of 33440.5 provide sufficient headroom to feed the RTX 4090 even at high frame rates.

Q: What is the safest resolution for maintaining high frame rates?

A: 2560x1440 at Ultra offers 119 FPS average, which is comfortably above 60 FPS and leaves room for demanding multiplayer scenes. At 4K Ultra, the 66 FPS average is closer to the threshold and may dip in populated areas.

Q: How does the RTX 4090 compare to its nearest GPU rivals in average benchmark scores?

A: The RTX 4090 has an average benchmark score of 60347, which is essentially identical to the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60326 (0% delta) and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60140 (0.3% delta). The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896, putting it 2.5% ahead, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657, 2.9% behind.

Q: Does the system have enough memory bandwidth for high-resolution textures?

A: The RTX 4090 features 24 GB of GDDR6X memory with a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s, which is more than sufficient for Fivem's texture demands at any resolution. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 memory.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU, there are several configurations that would behave similarly to the i7-14700K + RTX 4090 in Fivem.

On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X has an average benchmark score of 69515, which is 0.2% higher than the i7-14700K's 69355. This makes it a direct equivalent for gaming performance. The AMD EPYC 9115 scores 69288 (0.1% lower), while the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875 (0.7% higher) and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F scores 69996 (0.9% higher). For Fivem specifically, any of these CPUs would pair with the RTX 4090 to produce nearly identical frame rates, since the game is more GPU-bound at higher resolutions and the CPU differences are marginal.

On the GPU side, the nearest rival is the Intel Arc Pro A60, which matches the RTX 4090's average score of 60347 with a delta of 0%. In real-world gaming, however, the RTX 4090's driver maturity and feature set make it more capable in Fivem than that benchmark parity suggests. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140 (0.3% lower) and would be a modest step down. The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 61896 (2.5% higher), while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 scores 58657 (2.9% lower). For a gaming-focused build, the RTX 4090 remains the superior choice, but these GPUs represent the closest benchmark-level alternatives.

A system using the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with the RTX 4090 would deliver essentially identical Fivem performance to the i7-14700K build, given the 0.2% CPU score difference. Similarly, swapping the RTX 4090 for an Intel Arc Pro A60 would produce near-identical average benchmark scores, though real-world Fivem performance would likely favor the RTX 4090.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 368 FPS, Medium averages 290 FPS with a minimum of 247 and maximum of 334, High averages 232 FPS, and Ultra averages 180 FPS. All presets exceed 60 FPS by a wide margin, with even the most demanding setting providing triple the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally strong. Low averages 242 FPS, Medium averages 191 FPS with a minimum of 163 and maximum of 220, High averages 153 FPS, and Ultra averages 119 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 34 FPS, while the step from Low to Medium costs 51 FPS, indicating that the Medium preset provides the largest incremental jump in rendering load.

At 3840x2160, the system starts to show the GPU's limits. Low averages 135 FPS, Medium averages 106 FPS with a minimum of 90 and maximum of 122, High averages 85 FPS, and Ultra averages 66 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is 19 FPS, which is the smallest absolute difference between any two consecutive presets at this resolution, suggesting that Ultra's additional features are relatively lightweight compared to the resolution's overall demands.

The data shows a consistent pattern: moving from Low to Medium costs roughly 20-30% of frame rate, while moving from High to Ultra costs a similar percentage. The 4K Ultra result of 66 FPS is the only data point that falls below 70 FPS, making it the sole setting where the playable margin is thin.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem at all tested resolutions and presets above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 66 FPS, which qualifies as playable but with limited headroom — players preferring a larger margin should use High at 85 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 119 FPS, providing excellent visual quality with substantial performance to spare. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 180 FPS, making this the best resolution for high-refresh-rate displays.

The verdict is unambiguous: this combination is overkill for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, delivering frame rates that exceed the needs of most displays. At 4K, it remains fully playable at maximum settings, though the 66 FPS average at Ultra means the system is finally approaching its limit. The i7-14700K's 20 cores and 28 threads, combined with the RTX 4090's 24 GB of memory and 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, ensure that Fivem's multiplayer environments — which can be demanding due to multiple players and custom assets — remain smooth across all tested configurations. The data confirms this is a top-tier setup for this game, ranking in the 97th percentile of all combos tested.
