Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile that differs significantly from single-player benchmarks. The data for the Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 580 reveals a system that is heavily constrained by its graphics card at most settings. This combination ranks 1648th out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 8% of the database, a position that underscores the bottleneck created by the aging GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1648 out of 1792 is a stark indicator of its overall standing. This position is not a reflection of the CPU, which performs admirably, but rather a consequence of the GPU's limitations in a demanding open-world environment. The data shows that this system is positioned for 1080p gaming rather than higher resolutions. In the context of all tested combinations, this pairing sits far below the median, meaning the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average frame rates in Fivem. The benchmark results indicate that while the CPU is capable of feeding frames at a high rate, the RX 580 cannot translate that into playable performance at higher resolutions or detail levels. The rank is a direct result of the GPU's 53rd percentile standing among all GPUs, which drags down the overall potential of the otherwise strong Core i5-14400F, which sits in the 88th percentile for all CPUs.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is the primary limiting factor in this configuration. Its 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a modest amount for 2017's high-end but is now insufficient for the demands of Fivem at 4K. The GPU's compute power is rated at 6.175 TFLOPS, with a texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 42.88 GPixel/s. These specs are reflected in the measured FPS, where the card struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K, regardless of settings. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for 1080p, but the GPU's raw processing power is not. The performance gap between Low and Ultra settings at 4K is a 13.2 FPS difference, showing the card's sensitivity to shader complexity. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 8813, while placing it in the 53rd percentile, confirms that it is a mid-range performer from a previous generation; its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 and GTX 950, which are even older parts, but the RX 580's advantage over them is minimal in terms of average benchmark scores.

FAQ

Q: Is the Intel Core i5-14400F a bottleneck for the AMD Radeon RX 580 in Fivem?

A: No. The CPU is not the limiting factor. The i5-14400F has a passmark multithread score of 25783 and a single-thread score of 3723, placing it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs. The data shows that the GPU is the primary constraint, as frame rates drop dramatically when resolution increases, which is a GPU-bound scenario.

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: The data shows it cannot provide a smooth experience. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 17.5, and even at 4K Low, it only reaches 30.7 FPS. These are both below the generally accepted threshold for smooth, playable performance in a fast-paced multiplayer game.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combination?

A: Based on the measured FPS, 1080p is the only resolution where the combo can consistently deliver playable frame rates. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 52, which is acceptable. The 1440p data shows playable results only on Low settings at 57.1 FPS.

Q: How does the RX 580 compare to its nearest rivals in terms of raw performance?

A: The RX 580 has an average benchmark score of 13559. Its closest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, has an average score of 13564, a delta of 0%. This indicates that the RX 580's performance is essentially on par with the GTX 570 in the database's aggregate benchmarks, despite being a much newer card.

Q: Does the CPU's cache size have an impact on Fivem performance?

A: The Core i5-14400F has 20 MB of shared L3 cache, which is beneficial for gaming. However, the benchmark results in this specific combo show that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's performance is sufficient to not be a bottleneck, as evidenced by the frame rate drops at higher resolutions where GPU load increases.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the average FPS on Low settings is 85.2, while on Ultra it is 40.4. This is a substantial 44.8 FPS difference, showing that the GPU's performance is heavily dependent on the graphical preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a clear picture of the system's capabilities across resolutions and settings.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the experience is not playable. The average FPS ranges from 30.7 on Low to 17.5 on Ultra. Medium settings yield 25.2 FPS, and High settings produce 19.7 FPS. None of these scores reach a level that would be considered smooth for a multiplayer title.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the results are mixed. Low settings produce an average of 57.1 FPS, which is the only playable option at this resolution. Medium settings drop to 43.8 FPS, High to 37.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 27 FPS. The data suggests that 1440p is only viable with significant graphical compromises.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system performs at its best. Low settings achieve an average of 85.2 FPS, Medium settings hit 66 FPS, and High settings reach 52 FPS. Ultra settings, however, drop to an average of 40.4 FPS. This resolution offers the most flexibility, with three out of four presets providing a playable experience.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the best experience for this combo is clearly at 1920x1080. For a balance between visual quality and performance, the High preset at 1080p is the recommended choice, offering an average of 52 FPS. This provides a smooth enough frame rate for most multiplayer scenarios while maintaining better visual fidelity than Medium or Low. If a higher frame rate is a priority, the Medium preset at 1080p delivers 66 FPS, which is a significant improvement over High. The Low preset at 1080p achieves 85.2 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play but sacrifices visual detail. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions, as it pushes the average FPS below the playable threshold, even at 1080p (40.4 FPS).

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a modern 10-core, 16-thread processor with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its performance is strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21914 and a single-core score of 3093. These results place it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12800H and AMD Ryzen 7 250, with performance deltas of 0% and -0.2%, respectively. In Fivem, which is often CPU-intensive in populated areas, the i5-14400F is more than capable of handling the game's logic. The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck; the frame rates are consistently limited by the GPU. For example, at 1080p Low, the CPU can push the GPU to 85.2 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 17.5 FPS, a clear sign that the GPU is overwhelmed by the pixel count and shader work, not the CPU. This CPU can easily feed the RX 580 at all settings, meaning the GPU is the sole limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the extent of the GPU bottleneck. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 52 at 1080p to 37.9 at 1440p, a 27.1% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K (2160p), the FPS drops further to 19.7, a 48% decrease. This pattern is consistent across all settings. For instance, on Low settings, the FPS goes from 85.2 at 1080p to 57.1 at 1440p, and then to 30.7 at 4K. The frame rate roughly halves when moving from 1440p to 4K, which is a classic sign of a GPU that is running out of pixel pushing power. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component, as the FPS drop is far more severe than the increase in pixel count would suggest if the CPU were the bottleneck. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the FPS would remain relatively flat as resolution increases, but the benchmark results show a steep decline, confirming that the RX 580's 6.175 TFLOPS of compute power is simply insufficient for 4K rendering in Fivem. The 1080p to 1440p scaling is less punishing, but the 1440p to 4K jump is where the GPU's limitations become starkly apparent.
