Fivem

The Intel Core i9-14900K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a playable experience in Fivem across most modern resolutions, with the data showing that 1440p and 1080p Ultra settings are comfortably within the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K Ultra falls short. This analysis examines the measured performance of this specific combination, detailing the best settings per resolution, the CPU/GPU balance, and how this combo ranks against other tested configurations.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS varies significantly by resolution. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 104.7 FPS on Ultra settings, which is the most demanding preset tested and remains well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset delivers 67 FPS average, again clearing the 60 FPS bar despite being the highest quality option available. The data shows a different situation at 3840x2160, where Ultra drops to 39.3 FPS and is therefore not playable; the most demanding playable setting at 4K is Medium, which produces an average of 63 FPS.

Stepping through the resolution hierarchy, the performance scaling is steep. At 1080p, even the High preset achieves 137.2 FPS, and Low reaches 215.3 FPS. At 1440p, the High preset drops to 87 FPS, while Low still delivers 140.8 FPS. The 4K results show the RTX 3070’s 8 GB memory buffer and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth being taxed, as High settings yield only 50.2 FPS and Low settings 78.2 FPS. The verdict data confirms that Medium at 4K is the best playable option, with the 63 FPS average representing the maximum quality that stays at or above the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

Determining which component matters more for Fivem requires examining how frame rates scale between resolutions and presets. The Intel Core i9-14900K, with 24 cores and 32 threads boosting to 6.00 GHz, is a top-tier processor ranking at the 95th percentile among all CPUs. The RTX 3070, by contrast, sits at the 61st percentile among GPUs. This disparity suggests the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios.

The resolution scaling data supports this interpretation. Moving from 1080p Ultra (104.7 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (67 FPS) represents a 36% drop in performance, while moving from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra (39.3 FPS) is another 41% decline. These steep drops with increasing pixel count are classic signs of GPU-bound performance. At 1080p, the CPU’s strength shows through: the i9-14900K’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39399.5 and single-core score of 2262.5 keep the frame rate high even on Low settings (215.3 FPS), where the GPU has less work per frame.

At 4K Low (78.2 FPS) versus 4K Medium (63 FPS), the gap narrows to 15.2 FPS, indicating the GPU is saturated regardless of preset. The CPU’s role becomes more prominent at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 1080p Low result of 215.3 FPS — a figure that likely approaches the engine’s frame rate ceiling given the i9-14900K’s Passmark single-thread score of 4697. Conversely, at 4K, the RTX 3070’s 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 165.6 GPixel/s pixel rate dominate the outcome, making the GPU the clear bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 1570th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. This ranking reflects the balance between the powerful CPU and the mid-range GPU. The percentile data reinforces this: the CPU sits at the 95th percentile, while the GPU is at the 61st percentile, so the overall combo rank is dragged down by the GPU relative to the CPU’s standing.

The rank of 1570 out of 3707 means approximately 42% of tested configurations perform better in this game. Given that the RTX 3070 is an end-of-life product (released 2020-08-31) and the i9-14900K is a current-generation chip (released 2023-10-16), the pairing represents a CPU that will outlast the GPU in upgrade cycles. The benchmark results indicate that for Fivem specifically, the combo’s ranking is primarily constrained by GPU performance, as evidenced by the 4K Ultra result of 39.3 FPS, which is below the playable threshold despite the CPU’s top-tier standing.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in average benchmark score are all within a narrow band. The Intel Core i9-14900KF scores 79371, a mere 0.3% lower than the i9-14900K’s 79097. The Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus scores 79574 (0.6% higher), while the AMD EPYC 7413 scores 80041 (1.2% higher). On the lower side, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 scores 77740, which is 1.7% lower. In practical terms, swapping to any of these CPUs would yield nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, as the differences are all under 2%.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show a similar tight cluster. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT scores 17083, just 0.7% higher than the RTX 3070’s 17208. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 scores 17037 (1% lower) and the AMD Radeon HD 7970M scores 17019 (1.1% lower). The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, which is 1.5% higher. These deltas are small enough that any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS in Fivem, within a few frames per second of the RTX 3070’s results. The data suggests that users with these alternative GPUs would see 1080p Ultra performance around 104.7 FPS, 1440p Ultra near 67 FPS, and 4K Medium at roughly 63 FPS.

The Verdict

The verdict data clearly indicates that this PC can run Fivem with playable frame rates at all tested resolutions, with one caveat at 4K Ultra. At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 104.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same applies — all presets including Ultra (67 FPS) are above the threshold. At 3840x2160, only Low (78.2 FPS) and Medium (63 FPS) are playable; High (50.2 FPS) and Ultra (39.3 FPS) fall below 60 FPS.

The best settings per resolution are: 1080p Ultra at 104.7 FPS, 1440p Ultra at 67 FPS, and 4K Medium at 63 FPS. The system is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the i9-14900K’s computational headroom and the RTX 3070’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provide sufficient bandwidth. At 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and users must accept Medium quality to maintain 60 FPS. This configuration is a solid choice for Fivem players who prioritize high refresh rates at 1080p or 1440p, with the understanding that 4K requires preset compromises.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full range of presets was tested. Low settings yield the highest average of 215.3 FPS, followed by Medium at 168.2 FPS, High at 137.2 FPS, and Ultra at 104.7 FPS. All results are well above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding preset providing nearly double the playable minimum.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 140.8 FPS (Low), 112.6 FPS (Medium), 87 FPS (High), and 67 FPS (Ultra). The step from High to Ultra is the largest single drop at this resolution, a 20 FPS reduction, but Ultra remains playable.

At 3840x2160, the results show a tighter spread: 78.2 FPS (Low), 63 FPS (Medium), 50.2 FPS (High), and 39.3 FPS (Ultra). The drop from Medium to High is 12.8 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 10.9 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s compute resources (20.31 TFLOPS FP32) and memory bandwidth (448.0 GB/s) are saturated beyond Medium settings. No minimum or maximum FPS values were recorded in the data, so the averages represent the full picture of measured performance.
