Fivem

The Intel Core i9-14900K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination ranks 180th out of 3,707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 5% of all pairings. This is a strong result, though not the absolute pinnacle, indicating that the hardware is well-matched to the game's demands without being overkill in a way that yields diminishing returns. The rank reflects a system that should handle the game with substantial headroom at most resolutions, and the data confirms that every preset tested at every resolution remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 180 out of 3,707 tested configurations places it in the 95th percentile of all CPU-GPU pairings tested for Fivem. This is a very high standing, meaning the vast majority of systems tested will deliver lower performance. The percentileVsAllCpus score of 95 for the i9-14900K and percentileVsAllGpus score of 87 for the RTX 5080 corroborate this, showing both components are individually in the upper echelon of their respective categories. The data suggests this pairing is not bottlenecked in a way that would drag its overall standing down; instead, it performs consistently with what the high individual component scores would predict. For a multiplayer game like Fivem, where frame consistency matters for smooth interactions, this rank indicates the system is well above the median experience. The gap between this combo and the top-ranked systems is likely driven by even more extreme hardware, but for practical purposes, the performance delivered here is substantial.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the system achieves an average of 345 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 272 FPS on Medium and 218 FPS on High. The scaling from Low to High at 1080p is a 37% reduction in average FPS, indicating that the GPU is becoming more influential as settings increase, but the extremely high frame rates suggest the CPU is keeping up without being a limiting factor. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low setting average falls to 227 FPS, a 34% drop from the 1080p Low result. This reduction is more than what pure pixel count scaling would suggest, implying that the GPU's rendering load is starting to matter more. At 3840x2160, the Low setting average is 126 FPS, which is a 45% drop from the 1440p Low result. This steep decline demonstrates that at 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint, as the CPU's work does not scale with resolution. The pattern is clear: at lower resolutions, the i9-14900K's strong single-thread performance (evidenced by a Passmark single-thread score of 4,697) keeps frame rates high, but as resolution climbs, the RTX 5080's rendering throughput dictates the ceiling. The Ultra preset at 4K yields 62 FPS average, while at 1440p it is 111 FPS and at 1080p it is 169 FPS, showing a consistent GPU-bound scaling curve as resolution increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080

At 1080p, the lowest tested preset delivers an average of 345 FPS. The Medium preset averages 272 FPS, with a minimum of 232 FPS and a maximum of 313 FPS, showing a tight frame delivery window. High settings average 218 FPS, and Ultra averages 169 FPS. The data shows that even at the most demanding preset, the frame rate remains far above the 60 FPS threshold, with no minimum FPS data recorded for Ultra, suggesting it stayed consistently high throughout the test.

2560x1440

At 1440p, Low settings average 227 FPS. Medium averages 179 FPS, with a minimum of 152 FPS and a maximum of 206 FPS. High settings average 143 FPS, and Ultra averages 111 FPS. All presets remain well above 60 FPS, and the minimum FPS recorded for Medium (152 FPS) is more than double the playability threshold. The drop from Low to Ultra is 51%, indicating that the GPU is handling the increased load effectively.

3840x2160

At 4K, Low settings average 126 FPS. Medium averages 99 FPS, with a minimum of 85 FPS and a maximum of 114 FPS. High settings average 80 FPS, and Ultra averages 62 FPS. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset approaches the 60 FPS threshold, but it still exceeds it with a 2 FPS margin. The Medium preset's minimum of 85 FPS shows that there is no risk of dropping below playable levels even in demanding scenes. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 51% reduction, mirroring the trend seen at 1440p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i9-14900KF has an average benchmark score of 79,371, which is 0.3% lower than the i9-14900K's score. This means the KF variant, which lacks integrated graphics, would perform nearly identically in Fivem. The Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus scores 79,574, a 0.6% difference, and the AMD EPYC 7413 scores 80,041, a 1.2% difference, both of which are within a negligible margin. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 scores 77,740, which is 1.7% higher than the i9-14900K, making it a slightly faster alternative in synthetic tests, though the real-world FPS difference in Fivem would be minimal.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon 8060S has an average score of 55,757, which is 0.6% higher than the RTX 5080's score. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698, a 0.7% difference, and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828, a 2.3% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57,367, which is 2.2% lower than the RTX 5080. These rivals would all produce very similar frame rates in Fivem, with differences of only a few FPS at most. A builder looking for equivalent performance could consider the i9-14900KF and the RX 9070 GRE as a near-identical pairing, though the specific benchmark scores suggest the RTX 5080 holds a slight edge over the GRE.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 62 FPS. This is a narrow margin, so players who prefer extra headroom might choose High at 80 FPS average, but the data confirms Ultra is playable. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 111 FPS, making it the best choice with no compromise needed. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 169 FPS, providing an extremely smooth experience. The verdict data confirms that all four settings at all three resolutions are playable, so the best setting is simply the highest one available. For 4K, the 62 FPS average at Ultra is right at the edge, and given that the minimum FPS for Ultra at 4K is not recorded, it is unclear if any dips occur below 60, but the average suggests it is generally safe.

FAQ
