CPU and GPU Roles

The data from the measured FPS values reveals the relative importance of the CPU and GPU in Fivem across different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the performance spread between Low and Ultra settings is the largest, with a difference of 139.7 FPS. This wide gap indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as reducing graphical quality significantly increases frame rates. The Intel Core i9-14900K, with its 24 cores and 32 threads, provides sufficient processing power to keep pace with the RTX 5070's output, as evidenced by the 278.4 FPS on Low settings, which approaches typical CPU-side limits for game logic and draw calls.

At 2560x1440, the performance delta between Low and Ultra narrows to 94.5 FPS, suggesting that the GPU workload is increasing and the graphics card becomes more dominant. The average frame rate on Low settings drops from 278.4 FPS at 1080p to 182.7 FPS, a 95.7 FPS reduction, while Ultra drops from 138.7 FPS to 88.2 FPS, a 50.5 FPS reduction. This asymmetric scaling indicates that lower settings are more sensitive to resolution increases, as the GPU is already near its maximum throughput at lower quality levels.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes even more pronounced. The difference between Low and Ultra is 50.6 FPS, and even the Low preset drops below 100 FPS (100.3 FPS). The RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are challenged by the 4K resolution, particularly on Ultra settings where the 49.7 FPS result falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. The CPU's influence diminishes at this resolution, as the 4K workload is overwhelmingly GPU-bound, and the i9-14900K's high single-core performance (2262.5 in Cinebench R23) ensures it does not become a limiting factor.

The scaling between presets at each resolution confirms that the RTX 5070 is the primary performance determinant for this game. The CPU's 95th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs further support this conclusion, as the CPU is positioned higher in its respective performance hierarchy. However, the 3840x2160 Ultra result shows that even a top-tier CPU cannot compensate for the GPU's limitations at the highest resolution and quality settings.
