Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F pairs a 10-core, 16-thread configuration with a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 4.70 GHz boost clock. This Raptor Lake Refresh part sits in the 88th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 32508. In multi-threaded workloads, its Cinebench R23 score of 21914 and Geekbench multicore result of 11209 show substantial headroom for games that leverage many threads. The single-thread performance is equally notable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3093 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3723. These figures place the CPU in a class where it essentially trades blows with the Intel Core i7-12800H, which scores 32513 (a 0% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 at 32446 (0.2% delta). The data suggests that for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which often relies on a mix of AI, physics, and network processing, this CPU provides a robust foundation that should not become the primary constraint in most scenarios. Its 20 MB of shared L3 cache and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory further indicate a versatile platform capable of feeding a high-end graphics card without introducing a noticeable bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Fivem, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-14400F and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti achieves a rank of 1048 out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all systems measured, indicating that while it is not at the very top of the performance charts, it outperforms a significant portion of the field. The ranking suggests that this configuration is a balanced mid-range contender, capable of delivering playable frame rates. The GPU, which sits in the 61st percentile of all graphics cards, is likely the limiting factor in this pairing, especially at higher resolutions. The CPU’s higher percentile ranking (88th) compared to the GPU’s (61st) reinforces this interpretation; the processor has more relative performance headroom than the graphics card. Consequently, the combo’s overall rank of 1048 is more heavily influenced by the GPU’s capabilities than the CPU’s, meaning that system upgrades focused on the graphics card would yield the most significant performance gains in this title.

Resolution Scaling

Examining the measured frame rates across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At 1080p with High settings, the system produces an average of 114.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 73.5 FPS, a reduction of approximately 35.7%. At 4K, the frame rate falls further to 39.9 FPS, which is about 65.1% lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline as resolution increases is a classic indicator that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the performance ceiling. The CPU is capable of pushing well beyond these numbers at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the 180.4 FPS average at 1080p Low settings. The scaling from Low to Ultra settings at 1440p shows a similar trend; the frame rate drops from 119.8 FPS at Low to 57.2 FPS at Ultra, a 52.3% decrease. This consistent pattern across both resolution and settings changes points to a system where the graphics card’s rendering throughput, rather than the CPU's processing speed, dictates the final output. The data indicates that to achieve higher frame rates at 1440p or 4K, a more powerful GPU would be necessary.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured results provide a detailed view of performance across twelve distinct configurations. At 1920x1080, the lowest tested resolution, the system delivers strong results. The Low preset yields an average of 180.4 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings produce 143 FPS, and High settings drop to 114.3 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset still manages an average of 87 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience even at maximum graphical fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains playable but shows the GPU's strain. The Low preset achieves 119.8 FPS, which is still excellent. Medium settings average 92 FPS, and High settings come in at 73.5 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 57.2 FPS, which is on the edge of what many would consider ideal for fast-paced multiplayer action, though it remains functional.

At 3840x2160, the limits of the GTX 1080 Ti become apparent. The Low preset manages an average of 68 FPS, which is passable. Medium settings drop to 52.7 FPS, and High settings fall to 39.9 FPS. The Ultra preset produces an average of just 30.4 FPS, which is below the threshold for a comfortable gaming experience. The data shows a clear hierarchy: the system is well-suited for 1080p gaming across all settings, capable at 1440p for most presets, and only suitable for 4K gaming at lower settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is a Pascal-architecture card built on a 16 nm process. It features 11 GB of GDDR5X memory on a 352-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 484.4 GB/s. The card’s base clock is 1481 MHz with a boost clock of 1582 MHz, and it offers 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 88 render output units. Its compute capabilities include 11.34 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a texture rate of 354.4 GTexel/s. In terms of raw benchmark scores, the GPU achieves a Passmark G3D score of 18600 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 83108. These specifications place it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19402. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780, which scores 19405 (0% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro 560X at 19426 (-0.1% delta). The data indicates that the GTX 1080 Ti is a competent card for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but its age relative to the CPU becomes evident at 4K, where the measured frame rates drop significantly. The GPU's 11 GB of VRAM is ample for most titles, but the card's raw pixel throughput is the primary constraint in Fivem at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal balance of visual quality and performance is found at 1080p with High settings, which yields an average of 114.3 FPS. This configuration provides a fluid experience that is well above the 60 FPS threshold while still maintaining a high level of graphical detail. For users seeking absolute smoothness on a 144Hz display, the Medium preset at 1080p, with an average of 143 FPS, is an excellent choice, sacrificing some visual fidelity for a 25.1% increase in frame rate over High. At 1440p, the High preset at 73.5 FPS is the best experience, as it stays comfortably in the playable range. The Medium preset at 1440p offers 92 FPS for those prioritizing frame rate over detail. At 4K, the data suggests that the Low preset, with an average of 68 FPS, is the only viable option for a reasonably smooth experience. The Ultra presets at 4K (30.4 FPS) and 1440p (57.2 FPS) are not recommended, as the frame rates dip below the point where gameplay feels responsive. Ultimately, the sweet spot for this combination is 1080p or 1440p with Medium to High settings, where the CPU and GPU work together to deliver a strong, consistent performance.
