Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile that is heavily influenced by server-side scripts and the number of connected players. The measured results for the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination reveal a system that is consistently bound by the graphics card, especially as resolution increases, yet shows the CPU has ample headroom to handle the game's simulation overhead. The data indicates that this pairing is capable of providing a playable experience only at lower resolutions and settings, with performance collapsing rapidly when both resolution and graphical fidelity are increased.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 causes a dramatic and predictable collapse in frame rates across all settings, which strongly indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary constraint in this configuration. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 86 FPS at 1080p to 55 FPS at 1440p, a substantial 36% reduction, and then plummets to just 29 FPS at 4K, representing a further 47% decrease from the 1440p figure. This steep, non-linear decline is the classic signature of a GPU that is running out of pixel throughput and memory bandwidth as the rendering load multiplies.

The trend is even more pronounced at higher quality presets, where the GPU's limitations are exacerbated. Moving from High settings at 1080p (36 FPS) to High at 1440p (23 FPS) results in a 36% performance hit, and the final step to 4K High yields a catastrophic 12 FPS average. This pattern continues with Medium and Ultra settings, where the 4K averages are a mere 18 FPS and 7 FPS, respectively. The data suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and its 256-bit memory bus are simply overwhelmed by the 4K resolution, regardless of the quality preset. The scaling pattern is consistent: the higher the resolution, the closer the system gets to a slideshow, confirming that the CPU is not the bottleneck in these scenarios.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. In the context of Fivem, which is known for its heavy single-threaded performance demands due to the legacy GTA V engine and script-heavy multiplayer servers, the i5-14400F's strong single-core capabilities are crucial. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3055 and Geekbench single-core score of 2058 indicate a high level of per-thread performance, which is essential for maintaining a stable frame rate when many players are in close proximity and server scripts are running.

However, the measured frame rates suggest that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most tested scenarios. The performance drop from 1080p Low (86 FPS) to 1440p Low (55 FPS) is a 36% decline, which is far too large to be attributed to CPU limitations; a CPU bottleneck would show more consistent frame rates across resolutions. The CPU's multi-threaded performance is also robust, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21645 and Passmark multithread score of 25470. This headroom means that the processor can handle the game's background simulation and AI tasks without becoming a bottleneck, allowing the GPU to be the sole determinant of performance in these benchmarks. The data implies that in less demanding scenes, the i5-14400F could push higher frame rates than the RTX 2060 SUPER can render, but the GPU's workload at higher resolutions masks this potential.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, based on the Turing architecture, is a 12nm chip with a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. These specifications place it in the mid-range tier of GPUs, and its performance in this game is heavily constrained by these factors. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 16462 places it in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs, indicating it is a solid performer for 1080p gaming but is not designed for high-refresh-rate or high-resolution play in demanding titles.

The benchmark results show that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB VRAM is likely a limiting factor at 4K, where textures and geometry data can easily exceed this capacity. The massive frame rate drops at 3840x2160, such as the fall from 18 FPS at Medium to 7 FPS at Ultra, suggest that the GPU is not only bandwidth-limited but may also be spilling into system memory, causing severe stutters and low averages. The card's FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards, and the data shows it is insufficient for maintaining playable frame rates above 1080p with this game's engine overhead. The 14 Gbps effective memory clock is fast, but the 256-bit bus width is not wide enough to sustain the data throughput required at 4K, making the GPU the clear performance ceiling for this combo.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at the system's capabilities across twelve different configurations. At 1920x1080, the system performs best at Low settings, achieving an average of 86 FPS with no minimum or maximum reported. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 54 FPS, with a reported minimum of 46 FPS and maximum of 62 FPS, indicating some frame pacing inconsistency. High settings yield an average of 36 FPS, while Ultra settings bring the average down to 23 FPS dozen. These numbers show that 1080p is the only resolution where a smooth experience is possible, and only at the Low preset.

At 2560x1440, the performance becomes more challenging. Low settings produce an average of 55 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. Medium settings reduce the average to 34 FPS, with a minimum of 29 FPS and maximum of 39 FPS. High settings drop to 23 FPS, and Ultra settings are nearly unplayable at 14 FPS. The 1440p data suggests that users will have to make significant compromises in visual quality to achieve a stable frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the system is severely overburdened. The only viable setting is Low, which produces a 29 FPS average. Medium drops to 18 FPS, with a minimum of 15 and maximum of 21, while High yields just 12 FPS. Ultra settings are a non-starter at 7 FPS. The data clearly indicates that 4K is not a realistic option for this combination in Fivem, as even the lowest settings fail to break the 30 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the grand scheme of all tested hardware combinations for Fivem, this pairing of Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 3632 out of 3707 combos, placing it in the bottom 2% of all systems tested. This low rank is a reflection of the RTX 2060 SUPER's age and the demanding nature of Fivem's multiplayer environments, which can be more taxing than the single-player campaign due to the additional scripts and player interactions. The CPU is not the issue; its benchmark scores are respectable, with an average benchmark score of 32279 and a percentile rank of 83 against all CPUs.

The GPU's percentile rank of 62 against all GPUs is also not terrible, but the combination of a mid-range GPU with a game that is notoriously CPU-heavy in multiplayer scenarios seems to create a situation where the system excels at neither. The nearest rivals for the CPU, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (deltaPct 0.1) and Intel Core i9-11900 (deltaPct 0.2), show that the processor is competitive with other high-end chips. However, for the GPU, its closest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile (deltaPct -0.4) and AMD Radeon Pro 5700 (deltaPct -0.5), which are similarly positioned in performance. The rank of 3632 suggests that most other tested systems, even those with older or less powerful CPUs, were able to achieve higher frame rates, likely due to having more powerful GPUs. This is a clear indicator that the GPU is the anchor dragging down the overall system ranking.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings for this hardware combination depend entirely on the user's target resolution and tolerance for frame rate dips. For 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only configuration that provides a consistently smooth experience, with an average of 86 FPS. While the Medium preset at 54 FPS is technically playable, the minimum of 46 FPS indicates potential stutters in busy scenes. The High and Ultra presets, at 36 and 23 FPS respectively, are not recommended for a responsive multiplayer experience.

For 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only sensible choice, offering 55 FPS. The Medium preset at 34 FPS has a minimum of 29 FPS, which is borderline acceptable for casual play but will feel sluggish in combat. High (23 FPS) and Ultra (14 FPS) are not viable for any meaningful play. For 3840x2160, none of the settings are recommended, as even the Low preset at 29 FPS is below the threshold for smooth gameplay, and the Medium preset's minimum of 15 FPS is a slideshow. The data suggests that users should stick to 1080p Low for a competitive edge or 1080p Medium for a better visual experience if they can tolerate some frame dipsikuha. The performance gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is 32 FPS, which is a significant price to pay for slightly better visuals.
