Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a robust Fivem experience, with the data indicating that performance scales predictably across resolutions and settings. This pairing shows a clear division of labor: the CPU handles the simulation and multiplayer logic, while the GPU manages the visual output. The measured results provide a practical blueprint for configuring the game to prioritize frame rate or fidelity.

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. It operates with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, which is critical for Fivem’s single-threaded server-side logic and entity updates. The processor’s 20 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce latency when accessing frequently used game data, which is beneficial in a multiplayer environment with many dynamic objects.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 21,914 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,093 in single-core, placing it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 32,508 puts it virtually neck-and-neck with the Intel Core i7-12800H (32,513, 0% delta) and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 (32,446, 0.2% delta). This proximity suggests that for CPU-bound tasks, the i5-14400F performs on par with those chips, meaning any FPS ceiling in Fivem is not due to a lack of processing headroom.

The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo hits 290 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the CPU is not the limiting factor at lower graphical loads. Even at 1080p Ultra, the system sustains 143.5 FPS, demonstrating that the processor’s 16 threads can keep up with the game’s simulation demands without bottlenecking the GPU. The 65W TDP is modest, but the processor’s boost behavior ensures it can deliver full performance when needed, as seen in the high frame rates across all tested configurations.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and it features 7,168 shading units. This hardware configuration is well-suited for Fivem’s draw calls and texture streaming, especially at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth becomes more critical.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 42,576 places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scores 42,653, which is only 0.2% higher, indicating that the 4070 SUPER delivers nearly identical raw compute performance in this context. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for Fivem’s textures, and the data shows that the GPU scales well with resolution: at 1440p High, the system achieves 117.6 FPS, and at 4K High, it drops to 68.4 FPS, which is still playable.

The memory clock of 21 Gbps effective ensures that large texture loads do not cause stuttering. The GPU’s 220W TDP is a meaningful consideration for system builders, but the performance payoff is evident in the measured results. At 4K Ultra, the system drops to 50 FPS, which suggests the GPU is being pushed to its limits, but at 4K Low, it recovers to 102.5 FPS, showing that the card can handle the resolution when settings are dialed back.

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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system averages 290 FPS, which drops to 191.8 FPS at 1440p Low and 102.5 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 64.7% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K at the lowest settings, indicating that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases.

At High settings, the drop is from 180.8 FPS at 1080p to 117.6 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 68.4 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p (a 35% drop) is less severe than the drop from 1440p to 4K (a 42% drop), which confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s memory bandwidth and compute capacity are being taxed more heavily at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 143.5 FPS at 1080p, 91.2 FPS at 1440p, and 50 FPS at 4K, a 65% overall reduction.

These figures suggest that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU and GPU are well-balanced, with the i5-14400F providing enough headroom to feed the GPU. However, at 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting component, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops. For players targeting 4K, the data indicates that High settings (68.4 FPS) are the maximum viable option, while 1440p allows for Ultra at 91.2 FPS, which is a more comfortable experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 310th out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 17.3% of all tested configurations, which is a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the CPU is not a bottleneck, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions, and the GPU provides sufficient power for 1440p gaming.

In context, this combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, which is expected given the GPU’s 84th percentile ranking. The CPU’s 88th percentile ranking ensures that it does not hold back the GPU, and the measured FPS data confirms this: at 1080p, the system exceeds 140 FPS on all presets, which is a result that only a well-matched CPU-GPU pair can achieve. For players comparing systems, this rank indicates that the combo is a reliable choice for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, with acceptable performance at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and frame rate. At 1080p, the Ultra preset (143.5 FPS) is the best choice for players with 144Hz monitors, as it provides the highest visual quality while still exceeding the refresh rate. For 1440p, the High preset (117.6 FPS) offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, as Ultra drops to 91.2 FPS, which is still smooth but leaves less headroom.

At 4K, the High preset (68.4 FPS) is the recommended maximum, as it delivers a playable frame rate without the significant drop seen at Ultra (50 FPS). The Medium preset at 4K (84.1 FPS) is a viable alternative for players who prefer a smoother experience over maximum detail. The Low preset is not recommended for any resolution above 1080p, as it sacrifices too much visual quality for marginal gains in frame rate.

For the best overall experience, the data suggests using High settings at 1440p, which achieves 117.6 FPS and represents the sweet spot for this combo. Players prioritizing competitive performance can drop to 1080p Low (290 FPS) for maximum frame rates, but the High preset at 1440p offers a more immersive experience without compromising smoothness.
