Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is an FPS released on 2012-08-20, and the database contains measured FPS rows for the Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060. The measurements cover 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The recorded averages range from 176 FPS at 4K Ultra to 690 FPS at 1080p Low, and the pattern shows a combination that scales strongly with both preset and resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Low produces the highest average FPS at every resolution: 690 at 1920x1080, 475 at 2560x1440, and 280 at 3840x2160. Medium is the next step down, with 587 at 1080p, 404 at 1440p, and 239 at 4K. High records 508, 350, and 207 across the same resolution order, while Ultra records 434, 299, and 176.

The data indicates that Low is the preset for maximum frame rate. Medium is the highest tier that keeps every measured resolution above a 200 FPS average. At 4K, Medium averages 239 FPS and has a recorded minimum of 203 FPS, so even the minimum stays above the Ultra average of 176 FPS. At 1080p, Medium averages 587 FPS and records a minimum of 499 FPS with a maximum of 675 FPS. At 1440p, Medium averages 404 FPS with a minimum of 343 FPS and a maximum of 465 FPS.

The Medium preset is also the only settings tier with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values. That makes it the most complete row in the measured set for judging frame stability. Low offers the fastest averages, but the database does not include min/max data for it. High and Ultra sit below Medium at every resolution, so they do not offer the same measured frame rate headroom. Based on the recorded rows, Low is the clear choice for maximum FPS, while Medium is the strongest balanced option.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060 uses an 8 GB GDDR7 frame buffer on a 128-bit bus, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz, listed as 28 Gbps effective, and bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2497 MHz. It also carries 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 30 RT cores, and 120 tensor cores. The recorded compute figures include 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 and 19.18 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1), while the pixel rate is 119.9 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 299.6 GTexel/s.

The setting ladder shows a clear GPU effect. At 1080p, Low averages 690 FPS and Ultra averages 434 FPS. At 4K, Low averages 280 FPS and Ultra averages 176 FPS. The Ultra preset reduces the average by a large margin at every resolution, which indicates that the GPU's rendering workload is a meaningful factor in the measured results.

The 4K rows are especially informative. The GPU is able to deliver 280 FPS at Low and 207 FPS at High, but the Ultra row falls to 176 FPS. The 8 GB frame buffer and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are the memory-side specifications behind those 4K results. The boost clock of 2497 MHz is the highest GPU clock recorded in the database entry, and it is paired with a base clock of 2280 MHz. These clock figures describe the GPU's operating range, while the measured FPS rows show how that range translates into actual frame rates in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

CPU Role

The i7-14700F provides 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It is built on Intel's 10 nm Raptor Lake architecture and uses Socket 1700. The cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, and it has a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and a single-core score of 4958.

The CPU's ability to drive high frame rates is most visible at 1080p Low, where the combo averages 690 FPS. At the same preset, 1440p drops to 475 FPS and 4K drops to 280 FPS. The CPU alone cannot explain the full frame rate curve, because the same processor is paired with the same GPU in all rows and the frame rate still falls heavily as resolution rises. The strong single-core score of 4958 is consistent with very high frame rates at low resolution, while the multi-core score of 35122 shows the CPU has substantial parallel throughput available.

Additional CPU benchmarks in the database include PassMark multi-thread at 41317 and single-thread at 4257. The Geekbench multi-core score is 19620 and the single-core score is 2429. These numbers provide context for the CPU's overall performance profile. In the measured game rows, the CPU appears capable of keeping frame rates high when the GPU load is low, but the resolution scaling data shows that the GPU takes over as the limiting component as pixel count increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 1629 out of 3719 tested CPU and GPU combinations in the database. That position is above the midpoint of the recorded field. The CPU sits in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU sits in the 72nd percentile among all GPUs.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 53620. Its nearest rivals are Intel Xeon 6505P at 53701, Intel Xeon Phi 7290 at 53469, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53288, and AMD EPYC 7313P at 53206, with recorded differences of -0.2, 0.3, 0.6, and 0.8 respectively. These are small differences, which places the i7-14700F in a dense performance cluster.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 26331. Its nearest rivals are AMD Radeon 860M at 26401, NVIDIA GeForce MX550 at 26421, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary at 26553, and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT at 26011, with recorded differences of -0.3, -0.3, -0.8, and 1.2 respectively. The GPU is also surrounded by close scores.

The in-game rank of 1629 out of 3719 reflects the combined result of this particular CPU and GPU pair. It is not a top-tier placement, but it is ahead of more than half of the recorded combinations. The separate CPU and GPU percentile positions, 91 and 72, show that the processor is the stronger component in this pairing, while the GPU still delivers enough performance to place the combo above the middle of the field.

The table shows that Medium is the only tier with min and max data. The other tiers list only average FPS, so the database cannot provide frame range analysis for Low, High, or Ultra. The Medium rows show that the min and max values scale with resolution: 499 to 675 at 1080p, 343 to 465 at 1440p, and 203 to 274 at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

At Low, the average FPS drops from 690 at 1080p to 475 at 1440p and then to 280 at 4K. At Medium, the sequence is 587 to 404 to 239. At High, it is 508 to 350 to 207. At Ultra, it is 434 to 299 to 176. The pattern is consistent across all four presets: each step up in resolution lowers the average by a large amount.

The 1080p Low result is far above the 4K Low result, and the same is true for every other preset. This strong scaling with resolution indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting component as pixel count rises. If the CPU were the only limiting factor, the frame rate would not change as much between 1080p and 4K. The recorded data shows that the GPU's rendering workload grows with resolution, pulling the average down.

The Medium rows also show that the frame range follows the same scaling. The minimum FPS at Medium is 499 at 1080p, 343 at 1440p, and 203 at 4K. The maximum FPS is 675 at 1080p, 465 at 1440p, and 274 at 4K. The absolute gap between min and max is largest at 1080p and smallest at 4K, which suggests that the frame rate becomes more compressed when the GPU is under heavier load.

The resolution scaling data points to a GPU-limited situation at 4K and a more balanced situation at 1080p. At 1080p, the CPU's high single-thread score of 4958 in Cinebench R23 is consistent with the very high frame rates recorded. At 4K, the GPU's pixel and texture rates, 119.9 GPixel/s and 299.6 GTexel/s, become the relevant limits. The measured FPS curve therefore reflects both components, with the CPU driving the top end at low resolution and the GPU shaping the results as resolution increases.
