Fivem

This combo pairs Intel’s Core i5-14400F with NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and the measured results place it near the very bottom of the database for Fivem. Out of 1792 tested combos, this configuration ranks 1761st. That ranking is not an outlier or a software glitch; it reflects a fundamental bottleneck that becomes clearer when you separate the CPU’s potential from the GPU’s limits. The data shows a system that can handle the game’s logic but cannot push pixels fast enough to make that processing power visible on screen.

How This Combo Ranks

The 1761st place ranking out of 1792 combos puts this pairing in the bottom 2% of all tested configurations for Fivem. That is a severe result, but it is not surprising given the components involved. The GPU sits at the 30th percentile among all tested graphics cards, meaning roughly 70% of GPUs in the database outperform it. The CPU, by contrast, sits at the 88th percentile among all tested processors, which is a massive gap in capability. When a CPU is that much stronger than its GPU, the system’s frame rate will almost always be dictated by the graphics card. The benchmark data confirms this: at 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 60.9 FPS, but that is the absolute ceiling in every measured row. Every other setting and resolution combination produces lower frame rates, and the gap between Low and Ultra settings grows as resolution increases, which points directly at GPU limitations rather than CPU overhead.

GPU Role

The GTX 1050 Ti is the limiting factor in this pairing, and its specifications make that clear. It has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 112.1 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 1291 MHz with a boost clock of 1392 MHz, and its memory runs at 1752 MHz. These are modest figures by modern standards, and the benchmark scores reflect that. In PassMark’s G3D test, the GPU scores 6340, which places it at the 30th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the GeForce 930A, the GeForce 940M, and the Radeon R7 240, with score differences of 0%, 0.4%, and 0.7% respectively. That means the 1050 Ti is essentially trading blows with entry-level mobile and low-end desktop parts from years ago. For Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification of GTA V, the GPU’s job is to render a dense, open-world environment with many dynamic objects and player models. The 4 GB VRAM is a particular concern because Fivem servers often use custom assets and high-resolution textures that can exceed that capacity, forcing the GPU to spill over into slower system memory. The measured FPS data shows the GPU struggling more at higher resolutions, which is consistent with a card that lacks both raw compute power and memory bandwidth.

CPU Role

The Core i5-14400F is a much stronger component than the GPU, and its specifications show why. It has 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The processor is built on Intel’s 10 nm process (Raptor Lake architecture) and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its L3 cache is 20 MB shared, and it has 80 KB of L1 cache per core plus 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. The CPU’s benchmark results are strong: it scores 21914 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 3093 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 11209 in Geekbench multi-core. It holds the 88th percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals — the Core i7-12800H, Ryzen 5 PRO 7645, Ryzen 7 250, and Core i7-13705H — all have average scores within 0.2% of each other. For Fivem, the CPU handles the simulation side of the game: NPC logic, vehicle physics, network synchronization, and script execution. The 16 threads are more than enough for those tasks, and the high single-core boost clock of 4.70 GHz helps with the game’s primary thread, which is often the bottleneck in open-world titles. The data suggests the CPU is never the limiting factor in this combo; even at the lowest measured frame rates, the GPU is clearly the constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data tells a consistent story across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo produces 60.9 FPS on Low settings, 50.3 FPS on Medium, 40.3 FPS on High, and 31.8 FPS on Ultra. That is a spread of roughly 30 FPS between the lowest and highest settings, which shows the GPU is heavily taxed by the game’s visual effects. At 2560x1440, the numbers drop sharply: 41.8 FPS on Low, 31.3 FPS on Medium, 27.7 FPS on High, and 22.1 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is about 19 FPS, which is a large penalty for a resolution increase. At 3840x2160, the results are largely unplayable: 19.3 FPS on Low, 17 FPS on Medium, 17 FPS on High, and 9.7 FPS on Ultra. The fact that Medium and High both produce 17 FPS at 4K suggests the GPU is hitting a memory or bandwidth wall rather than a compute limit. The jump from 1440p Ultra (22.1 FPS) to 4K Ultra (9.7 FPS) is a 12.4 FPS loss, which is a 56% reduction in performance for a resolution that quadruples pixel count. The data indicates that 1080p is the only viable resolution for this combo, and even then, only Low and Medium settings approach playable frame rates.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo capable of running Fivem at 60 FPS?

A: Only at 1920x1080 with Low settings, where it hits 60.9 FPS. Every other setting and resolution combination falls below 60 FPS, with Medium at 1080p producing 50.3 FPS and High at 1080p producing 40.3 FPS.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The GTX 1050 Ti scores 6340 in PassMark G3D, which is within 0.7% of the GeForce 930A, GeForce 940M, and Radeon R7 240. Its percentile ranking is 30th among all GPUs, meaning it is near the bottom of the performance distribution.

Q: Is the CPU strong enough for this game?

A: The Core i5-14400F ranks in the 88th percentile among all CPUs, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21914 and a single-core score of 3093. The data shows the CPU is not the bottleneck in this combo; the GPU is.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: 1920x1080 is the only resolution where any settings produce frame rates above 40 FPS. At 2560x1440, the highest setting (Low) produces 41.8 FPS, but all other settings at that resolution drop below 32 FPS.

Q: How does the combo rank overall?

A: It ranks 1761st out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the bottom 2% of all configurations in the database.

Q: What is the worst measured result?

A: The worst result is at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, producing 9.7 FPS. That is about 16% of the frame rate achieved at 1080p Low.

Settings Recommendations

The data is unambiguous: this combo should be run at 1920x1080 with Low settings for any semblance of smooth gameplay. The 60.9 FPS at 1080p Low is the only measured result that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so by a narrow margin. If you prefer Medium settings, the 50.3 FPS at 1080p is playable for less demanding moments, but it will dip noticeably in busy scenes with many players or vehicles. High settings at 1080p drop to 40.3 FPS, which is borderline for a multiplayer game where reaction time matters. Ultra settings at 1080p produce 31.8 FPS, which is not recommended for competitive play. At 1440p, Low settings give 41.8 FPS, but the drop to Medium (31.3 FPS) and High (27.7 FPS) makes those settings unattractive. The 4K results are uniformly unplayable, with the highest being 19.3 FPS on Low. The practical advice is to stick with 1080p Low and prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity. If the game feels too jagged on Low, Medium at 1080p is the only other reasonable choice. Anything above that will cost you more than 10 FPS per step, and the GPU’s 4 GB VRAM will likely cause stuttering in texture-heavy Fivem servers regardless of the preset. The launch MSRP for the CPU is $196 and for the GPU is 139 USD, but those numbers do not change the measured performance reality. This is a 1080p Low system for Fivem, and treating it as anything more will result in a subpar experience.
