A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the average FPS is 128, with a minimum of 108 and a maximum of 147. This shows the combo can maintain high frame rates with good consistency at a popular gaming resolution.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the combo averages 194 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Medium, the average drops to 128 FPS — a 34% reduction. At 3840x2160 with Medium settings, the average falls further to 71 FPS, which is a 45% drop from 1440p and a 63% drop from 1080p. This steep decline indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises, while the CPU's workload remains relatively stable.

The pattern across all settings reinforces this interpretation. At High settings, the FPS goes from 155 (1080p) to 102 (1440p) to 57 (4K), representing drops of 34% and 44% respectively. At Low settings, the figures are 246, 162, and 90 FPS, with drops of 34% and 44% as well. The consistency of these percentage drops across different settings suggests a uniform GPU-bound scaling behavior. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect the FPS to remain more constant as resolution increases, since the CPU's workload is largely resolution-independent.

The fact that 4K Ultra yields only 44 FPS while 1080p Ultra produces 120 FPS indicates that the RX 9070 is the primary constraint at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU's 10 cores and 16 threads can feed the GPU adequately, but at 4K, the GPU's rendering throughput becomes the bottleneck. This is typical for a mid-high-end GPU like the RX 9070, which has a 69th percentile ranking — capable but not at the very top of the performance hierarchy.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates strong performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 246 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suitable for competitive play. Medium settings yield 194 FPS with a minimum of 165 and maximum of 223, showing tight frame pacing. High settings average 155 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 120 FPS — still well above the 60 FPS threshold and smooth for most displays.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. Low settings average 162 FPS, which remains high enough for fast-paced action. Medium settings produce 128 FPS with a minimum of 108 and maximum of 147, indicating good consistency. High settings average 102 FPS, while Ultra settings fall to 79 FPS. These numbers suggest that 1440p is the sweet spot for this combo, balancing visual quality with frame rates that exceed 100 FPS at most settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings average 90 FPS, which is playable but not as fluid as lower resolutions. Medium settings drop to 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 and maximum of 81, keeping the experience just above the 60 FPS floor. High settings average 57 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings produce only 44 FPS, making this combination less desirable for 4K gaming at maximum quality. The data indicates that users targeting 4K should stick to Medium or Low settings to maintain playable frame rates.

# GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with a Navi 48 chip fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It features 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 128 raster operation units, along with 56 ray tracing cores. The GPU's clocks are notable: a base of 1330 MHz, a boost of 2520 MHz, and a game clock of 2070 MHz. The memory operates at 2518 MHz, translating to 20.1 Gbps effective, which provides a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s across the 256-bit bus.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is heavily tied to resolution and settings. The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory is more than sufficient for this game, even at 4K Ultra, where the game's asset streaming and texture loads are unlikely to exceed this capacity. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions — the difference between 1080p Medium (194 FPS) and 4K Medium (71 FPS) is stark, and this scaling is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario.

The RX 9070's 69th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it in the upper mid-range. Its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (23736, 0.6% behind) and the AMD Radeon RX 6800S (24063, 0.8% ahead). The fact that the RX 9070 trades blows with these older or mobile parts in synthetic tests, yet delivers the frame rates seen in Fivem, suggests that the game's optimization may not fully leverage the GPU's newer architecture features. The 36.13 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 564.5 GTexel/s texture rate are substantial, but the game's multi-threaded nature and CPU overhead can mask some of this potential at lower resolutions.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh. It operates with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and it connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 246 FPS, which suggests the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output when the rendering load is light. However, as resolution increases, the GPU takes over as the bottleneck, and the CPU's influence diminishes. The 10 cores and 16 threads are well-suited for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which often has significant server-side processing and player interaction logic that can benefit from multiple threads.

The CPU's benchmark scores place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 32279. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32233, 0.1% behind) and the Intel Core i9-11900 (32226, 0.2% behind), showing that it is competitive with a range of desktop and mobile parts. The Cinebench R23 scores of 21645 (multi-core) and 3055 (single-core) indicate strong multi-threaded performance, which is relevant for Fivem's complex simulation and networking tasks. The CPU's single-thread performance, as evidenced by the 307 score in Cinebench R15, is also adequate for the game's primary game thread, though the data suggests that at 4K, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor — the GPU's rendering capacity takes precedence.
