CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i9-14900K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in Fivem. The CPU, with 24 cores and 32 threads, ranks in the 95th percentile among all processors with an average benchmark score of 79097. The GPU, with 3072 shading units and 8 GB GDDR6 memory, ranks in the 61st percentile among all graphics cards with an average score of 17639. This substantial gap in relative positioning indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios.

The scaling between resolutions confirms this analysis. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 190.5 FPS at Low settings, suggesting that the CPU can feed frames far faster than the GPU can render at higher presets. The drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 95.9 FPS, a reduction of roughly 50 percent, which points to GPU-bound rendering at higher settings. At 2560x1440, the same Low-to-Ultra gap narrows to 68.6 FPS, and at 3840x2160, it shrinks further to 34.3 FPS. This compression of the settings gap at higher resolutions is characteristic of GPU-limited scenarios where the graphics card cannot keep pace with either preset.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 190.5 FPS average indicates that the i9-14900K is capable of driving very high frame rates. The single-threaded performance, evidenced by a PassMark single-thread score of 4697 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2655, provides strong headroom for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The 32 threads and 36 MB of shared L3 cache also help with the many concurrent entities typical of multiplayer sessions.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The RTX 4060's 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle with the 8.3 million pixels at 4K. The pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s are insufficient for high and ultra presets at this resolution. The CPU's performance advantage becomes irrelevant when the GPU can only deliver 35.6 FPS at 4K Ultra.

The Verdict

The verdict data shows that this PC can run Fivem at 60 FPS across most resolution and settings combinations, with clear limitations at 4K. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable: Low at 190.5 FPS, Medium at 151.3 FPS, High at 117.7 FPS, and Ultra at 94.6 FPS. This resolution offers the most flexibility, allowing users to prioritize visual quality without sacrificing smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, three presets remain playable: High at 77.2 FPS, Medium at 98.4 FPS, and Low at 126.8 FPS. The Ultra preset falls just short at 58.2 FPS, missing the 60 FPS threshold by a narrow margin. Users targeting 1440p should select High settings for the best experience, as it provides the highest quality within the playable range.

At 3840x2160, only the Low preset achieves playable performance at 69.9 FPS. Medium (56.9 FPS), High (40.7 FPS), and Ultra (35.6 FPS) all fall below the threshold. The system can technically run the game at 4K, but only with substantial visual compromises. For users with 4K displays, the Low preset is the only viable option for maintaining 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1976 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This position places it in the 53rd percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 53 percent of tested combos perform better. The ranking reflects the pairing of a top-tier CPU with a mid-range GPU, which creates an imbalance where the processor's capabilities far exceed what the graphics card can utilize.

The i9-14900K's 95th percentile CPU ranking and the RTX 4060's 61st percentile GPU ranking highlight this mismatch. In Fivem, which appears to be GPU-bound at higher settings and resolutions, the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the graphics card.
