Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification that pushes both CPU and GPU hard, and this combination of an Intel Core i7-14700KF with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions. Benchmark data shows that this system never dips below the 60 FPS playable threshold at any setting preset, making it an overkill solution for nearly any monitor configuration, from 1080p high-refresh displays to 4K60 screens.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 66.2 FPS. This is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, meaning you can max out the game's visual fidelity at 4K without worrying about performance drops. The High preset runs at 82 FPS on average, providing a 24% performance headroom over Ultra if you prefer higher frame rates over maximum visual quality.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the best settings are also Ultra, but here the average frame rate jumps significantly to 121.1 FPS. This gives you the full visual experience while still maintaining frame rates that are smooth enough for high-refresh-rate gaming. If you have a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor, the High preset at 151.4 FPS average will push you closer to that refresh ceiling, while Medium runs at 192.4 FPS and Low at 244.9 FPS for competitive play.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system is so powerful that even the Ultra preset averages 180.2 FPS. This is the clear best setting for 1080p, as it provides the highest image quality while still delivering frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most 1080p monitors. The High preset reaches 232.1 FPS average, Medium hits 291.4 FPS, and Low tops out at 370.8 FPS — all far beyond the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

According to the benchmark database, this CPU and GPU combination ranks 85th out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. That puts it in the top 2.3% of all systems evaluated, which is an exceptional result for a game that is notoriously sensitive to single-core CPU performance and can be bottlenecked by weaker processors in multiplayer scenarios with many players.

The CPU itself sits in the 94th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 70163. Its nearest rival in the database is the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, which scores 70879 (1% higher), while the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F trails by just 0.2% at 69996. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX and Ryzen 9 7950X score 69875 and 69515 respectively, putting them 0.4% and 0.9% behind. This tight clustering means the i7-14700KF is competitive with the absolute fastest CPUs available, though the Core Ultra 7 265K holds a slight edge in raw compute benchmarks.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4090 ranks in the 88th percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 60347. Its nearest rival is the Intel Arc Pro A60, which matches its score at 60326 (0% delta), while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% ahead at 61896 and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 2.9% behind at 58657. The RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth give it substantial headroom for high-resolution textures, which is relevant for Fivem's custom content.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates reveal a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 180.2 (Ultra) to 370.8 (Low), with High at 232.1 and Medium at 291.4. The gap between Low and Ultra is 190.6 FPS, showing that the game's settings have a massive impact on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop by roughly 33-38% across all settings compared to 1080p. Ultra averages 121.1 FPS, High runs at 151.4 FPS, Medium hits 192.4 FPS, and Low produces 244.9 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p increases pixel count by 78%, but the performance reduction is smaller than that, indicating that the system has enough GPU headroom to absorb the additional resolution load.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall further but remain well above 60 FPS. Ultra delivers 66.2 FPS, High reaches 82 FPS, Medium runs at 107.8 FPS, and Low produces 133.4 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K represents a 225% increase in pixel count, yet the Ultra preset only drops from 121.1 FPS to 66.2 FPS — a 45% reduction. This demonstrates that the RTX 4090's raw fill rate is being effectively utilized, though the game engine's CPU overhead becomes relatively more significant at lower resolutions.

The data shows no minimum or maximum FPS values were recorded, so the average figures represent the consistent performance level the system maintains. Across all 12 measured configurations, every single average exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the lowest result being the 4K Ultra preset at 66.2 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured data reveals how the balance of CPU and GPU workload shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 370.8 FPS on Low settings, which is extraordinarily high and suggests the CPU is the primary limiting factor — the i7-14700KF's 20 cores and 28 threads are being pushed toward their ceiling for this game's single-threaded mechanics. Moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p drops the average from 370.8 FPS to 180.2 FPS, a 51% reduction that is driven almost entirely by increased GPU load.

At 2560x1440, the CPU pressure begins to ease. The Low preset still produces 244.9 FPS, which is 34% lower than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is now taking on more work. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 50.6%, with Ultra at 121.1 FPS. The RTX 4090's 16,384 shading units and 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power are clearly being exercised, but the CPU remains a significant contributor to overall performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. Low settings produce 133.4 FPS, which is only 46% of the 1080p Low result — a massive drop that reflects the GPU's workload quadrupling from 2.1 million pixels to 8.3 million pixels per frame. The Ultra preset at 66.2 FPS is just 10% above the 60 FPS threshold, showing that the RTX 4090 is now the primary bottleneck. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, but the i7-14700KF's strength ensures it never becomes a limiting factor even at 4K.

The scaling between presets also highlights this shift. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 190.6 FPS, driven by GPU-intensive effects like shadows and reflections. At 1440p, that difference grows to 123.8 FPS, and at 4K it shrinks to 67.2 FPS — the GPU is so saturated at 4K that changing settings has a proportionally smaller impact on frame rates.

The Verdict

This system can absolutely run Fivem, and it does so with exceptional headroom at every resolution. The benchmark data confirms that all three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — have all four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 180.2 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 121.1 FPS, and at 3840x2160, Ultra averages 66.2 FPS. The verdictByResolution data confirms that Ultra is the recommended preset at every resolution, which is the best possible outcome for a hardware combination.

The combination of the i7-14700KF's strong single-core performance (6235 in Cinebench R23 single-core) and the RTX 4090's massive rendering throughput creates a system that never struggles with Fivem, even in the most demanding multiplayer scenarios. The 85th rank out of 3707 combos underscores that this is a top-tier configuration, and the measured frame rates — from 66.2 FPS at 4K Ultra to 370.8 FPS at 1080p Low — demonstrate that users can choose their preferred balance of visual quality and speed without ever falling below playable levels. This PC is not just capable of running Fivem; it runs it at maximum settings with frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of nearly all gaming monitors.
