CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that Fivem scales differently across resolutions, indicating a balanced workload between CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 333 FPS average. This high frame rate at low graphical demand suggests the CPU is feeding the GPU efficiently, as the i9-14900K's 24 cores and 32 threads handle the game's simulation logic without bottlenecking. Moving to Medium settings at 1080p drops the average to 263 FPS, while High settings yield 210 FPS and Ultra produces 163 FPS. The gradual decline from Low to Ultra indicates the GPU becomes progressively more involved as pixel shading and texture work increase.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with more pronounced GPU involvement. Low settings still deliver 219 FPS, but Medium drops to 173 FPS, High to 138 FPS, and Ultra to 107 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p shows a 52% reduction in frame rate, compared to a 51% reduction at 1080p. This similar scaling suggests both components remain well-utilized. At 3840x2160, the GPU clearly becomes the dominant factor. Low settings produce 122 FPS, Medium drops to 96 FPS, High to 77 FPS, and Ultra reaches exactly 60 FPS. The 51% performance drop from Low to Ultra at 4K mirrors the lower resolutions, but the absolute numbers indicate the RTX 4080 is working near its limits at 4K Ultra.

The i9-14900K's Passmark single-thread score of 4697 and multi-thread score of 58674 suggest it provides ample headroom for Fivem's multiplayer logic. The game's server-side calculations and entity management benefit from the CPU's 36 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support. At 1080p, the CPU's influence is most apparent, as the 333 FPS Low setting result exceeds what most GPUs could sustain even with a weaker processor. The measured FPS data shows no instance where the CPU becomes a limiting factor, even at 4K Ultra where the GPU maintains exactly 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 220th out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the combo in the top 5.9% of all configurations, demonstrating that it outperforms the vast majority of systems tested for this game. The ranking reflects the synergy between the 14th-generation flagship CPU and the Ada Lovelace architecture GPU.

The 95th percentile ranking for the CPU among all processors, combined with the GPU's 86th percentile ranking, creates a balanced pairing where neither component significantly drags down the other. In comparison, the nearest CPU rival, the i9-14900KF with a 0.3% higher average score, would likely achieve nearly identical Fivem performance. Similarly, the RTX 4080 SUPER's 0.1% score advantage would not translate to measurable frame rate differences in actual gameplay.

The combo's rank of 220 suggests that only 219 other hardware pairings perform better in Fivem, likely including configurations with newer flagship GPUs or specialized workstation cards. However, the data indicates this combo handles the game at playable levels across all tested resolutions and presets, which is the primary consideration for most users.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: this system runs Fivem at or above 60 FPS in every tested configuration. At 3840x2160, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are marked as playable, with Ultra achieving exactly 60 FPS average. This is the most demanding scenario, and the combo meets the threshold precisely. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings deliver 107 FPS average, providing substantial headroom above the 60 FPS minimum. The 1920x1080 resolution shows exceptional performance with Ultra averaging 163 FPS, nearly three times the playable threshold.

The measured data confirms that no resolution or preset combination falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is most stressed, the average frame rate sits exactly at the threshold, meaning the system delivers a consistent experience without dropping below playability. For users with high-refresh-rate displays at 1440p, the 107 FPS average at Ultra settings ensures smooth gameplay, while 1080p users can enjoy Ultra settings at 163 FPS, which exceeds most monitors' refresh rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the performance hierarchy is clear. Low settings produce an average of 333 FPS, representing the maximum throughput this combination can achieve. Medium settings reduce this to 263 FPS, with minimum and maximum readings of 223 and 302 FPS respectively, showing tight frame pacing.
