Fivem

The Intel Core i9-14900K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a commanding performance profile in Fivem, firmly establishing itself as a high-end combination for this multiplayer title. The benchmark data indicates that this system is capable of exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution, with the most demanding preset at 4K (Ultra) being the only configuration that dips below that mark. This analysis breaks down the measured performance to identify the optimal settings per resolution, contextualize the hardware against its nearest rivals, and provide a definitive verdict on the system's capabilities.

Best Settings per Resolution

The data reveals a clear hierarchy of playable settings across the three tested resolutions, with the system's performance headroom allowing for increasingly demanding presets as resolution decreases.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is High, which achieves an average of 63.5 FPS. While the Medium preset also clears the threshold at 83.5 FPS, High represents the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance, offering a 23.9% improvement in frame rate over Ultra while still providing a substantial graphical upgrade over Medium. The Ultra preset falls short of the playable threshold at 49.1 FPS, making it unsuitable for sustained 60 FPS gameplay at this resolution.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the system demonstrates substantial headroom, allowing the Ultra preset to be fully playable with an average of 90.6 FPS. This represents the best visual quality available in the game at this resolution without compromising the 60 FPS target. The performance scaling is notable: Ultra at 1440p delivers 42.7% higher average FPS than High at 4K, illustrating how the reduced pixel count dramatically benefits the GPU's workload.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset is the clear choice, achieving an impressive average of 139.3 FPS. This configuration provides the highest visual settings with a frame rate that is more than double the playable threshold, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience. The data shows that even at the most demanding settings, the system maintains a 53.5% performance cushion over the 60 FPS minimum, indicating that this resolution is well within the hardware's comfort zone.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for both components provides context for where this combo sits in the broader hardware landscape. The Intel Core i9-14900K's closest competitor is the Intel Core i9-14900KF, which scores a mere 0.3% lower in average benchmark performance, making it a virtually identical alternative in terms of CPU-bound workloads. This suggests that users with the KF variant (which lacks integrated graphics) would experience nearly indistinguishable performance in Fivem.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus is another near-identical performer, with a benchmark delta of -0.6% compared to the i9-14900K, indicating that this mobile-oriented chip can match the desktop processor's capabilities in synthetic tests. For those considering AMD alternatives, the AMD EPYC 7413 scores 1.2% lower, placing it in the same performance tier despite its server-oriented design. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is the only rival to score higher, with a 1.7% advantage over the i9-14900K, though this difference is marginal and unlikely to translate into meaningful FPS gains in Fivem.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's benchmark performance is closely matched by several professional and mobile offerings. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB is the nearest rival with a delta of -0.1%, meaning the RTX 4070 SUPER and this professional card deliver nearly identical raw compute performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile also matches within -0.1%, indicating that laptop users with this newer mobile chip would see comparable graphics performance. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (non-24GB variant) trails by -0.2%, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile is 1% behind, which is notable given its higher tier designation but constrained mobile power envelope.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data reveals a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions and settings, with no anomalies or unexpected dips in performance.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates across all settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 291.6 FPS, which represents the absolute ceiling of performance for this configuration. Medium settings produce 227.6 FPS, High yields 179.7 FPS, and Ultra maintains a robust 139.3 FPS. The scaling between Low and Ultra shows a 52.2% reduction in frame rate when moving to maximum settings, which is a modest penalty given the substantial visual upgrade.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain highly playable across the board. Low settings produce 187.9 FPS, Medium achieves 152.9 FPS, High delivers 117.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 90.6 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in an average performance decrease of approximately 35.5% across all settings, which is consistent with the increased pixel count of 78% more pixels to render.

At 3840x2160, the performance impact of 4K resolution becomes apparent. Low settings still achieve a highly playable 104.8 FPS, Medium produces 83.5 FPS, and High maintains 63.5 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, falls below the playable threshold at 49.1 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows an average frame rate decrease of 44.4%, reflecting the 2.25x increase in pixel count. Notably, the gap between High and Ultra at 4K is 22.7%, which is the largest relative drop between any two consecutive settings across all resolutions.

The Verdict

The benchmark data decisively answers whether this PC can run Fivem: yes, with substantial performance to spare at most settings and resolutions. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous, with the system clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold in every configuration except one.

At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with the Ultra preset delivering 139.3 FPS — a 132.2% margin above the playable threshold. This makes 1080p an ideal resolution for this combo, allowing users to enable maximum settings and still enjoy frame rates suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the system also achieves playable status across all presets. The Ultra setting's 90.6 FPS provides a 51% buffer above the 60 FPS target, offering both excellent visual quality and smooth gameplay. This resolution strikes the optimal balance between image clarity and performance headroom.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced. The High preset is playable at 63.5 FPS, which narrowly clears the threshold, while Low and Medium also qualify. The Ultra preset, however, is not viable at 49.1 FPS, falling 18.2% short of the playable target. Users prioritizing 4K resolution should select High settings for the best playable experience, though those willing to sacrifice some visual fidelity can achieve higher frame rates with Medium or Low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions provides clear evidence of how the CPU and GPU divide their responsibilities in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the system achieves extremely high frame rates (up to 291.6 FPS on Low), which suggests that the Intel Core i9-14900K's single-thread performance is sufficient to feed the GPU adequately at this resolution. The relatively small performance drop between Low and Medium at 1080p (21.9%) indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck even at lower settings, as the CPU has ample headroom to handle the game's logic and physics at these frame rates.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU's workload becomes more demanding, evidenced by the larger performance drops between settings. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 51.8%, compared to 52.2% at 1080p, showing that the GPU's rendering load is scaling as expected with pixel count. The CPU's role remains consistent, as the i9-14900K's multi-core performance (with 24 cores and 32 threads) ensures that even at 1440p, the game's simulation thread does not become a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. The Ultra preset's drop to 49.1 FPS demonstrates that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are pushed to their limits at 4K with maximum settings. The CPU's influence diminishes at this resolution, as the frame rates are primarily determined by the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth. The data shows that the i9-14900K's capabilities are more than sufficient for Fivem, with the GPU consistently being the limiting factor at all tested resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 660th out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem performance. This places the system in the top 17.8% of all tested configurations, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of systems in this game.

The ranking is particularly impressive given the GPU's overall percentile of 83 among all GPUs and the CPU's percentile of 95 among all CPUs. The combination of a top-tier CPU with a high-midrange GPU creates a balanced system that excels in Fivem, which appears to benefit from both strong single-threaded CPU performance and capable GPU throughput. The rank of 660 suggests that while there are systems with higher raw performance, this combo delivers a level of gameplay experience that exceeds the expectations for its hardware class.

The performance data indicates that the i9-14900K's position in the 95th percentile of all CPUs provides a solid foundation for Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to CPU performance in multiplayer scenarios. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 83rd percentile GPU ranking ensures that visual fidelity and resolution scaling are well-supported. Together, this combo achieves a ranking that reflects its status as a high-performance pairing, capable of delivering excellent frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, with competent 4K performance at reduced settings.
