Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Fivem, ranking in the top 12.4% of all tested configurations. The data reveals a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited at higher resolutions, but which scales impressively to triple-digit FPS at 1080p, making it a formidable choice for this multiplayer title.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F provides the computational backbone for this configuration. With 10 cores and 16 threads, this Raptor Lake-R architecture processor operates at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.70 GHz. This 14th-generation desktop chip has a 20 MB shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache, which are critical for handling the complex, dynamic environments typical of Fivem's multiplayer servers where numerous player states, vehicle physics, and world interactions must be processed simultaneously.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i5-14400F posts a multi-core score of 21,645 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core score of 3,055 in the same test. These results position the CPU in the 83rd percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 32,279. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, scores 32,233, a delta of only 0.1%, indicating near-identical raw compute capability. This strong single-thread performance is particularly relevant for Fivem, a game built on a modified engine where a significant portion of game logic often falls on one or two primary threads. The i5-14400F's 4.70 GHz boost clock ensures that these critical threads have ample headroom.

Looking at other workload-specific results, the CPU achieves 81,524 in Passmark integer math and 61,319 in floating-point math, demonstrating robust general-purpose compute. The 25,470 Passmark multithread score and 3,701 single-thread score further corroborate the balanced performance profile. For a game like Fivem, which is known for being sensitive to CPU performance in crowded areas, the i5-14400F's architecture provides a solid foundation. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the system hits 305 FPS, and at Medium settings, it still manages 241 FPS. These high frame rates suggest that the CPU is not a bottleneck at these settings because the GPU is capable of rendering frames faster than the engine's typical simulation step. However, the gap between Low and Medium settings at 1080p (305 to 241 FPS, a drop of 21%) indicates that as the visual load increases, the GPU's workload grows, but the CPU continues to feed it adequately.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of visual performance in this setup. This Ada Lovelace architecture GPU, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC, features 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, operating at an effective speed of 21 Gbps. The GPU's base clock is 2310 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz. Importantly for modern titles, it includes 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores, though Fivem's rendering demands are typically more rasterization-focused.

The RTX 4070 Ti's benchmark performance places it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44,795. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, scores 45,152, which is 0.8% higher, indicating the desktop 4070 Ti is roughly on par with that mobile flagship. In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings increase. The measured FPS data illustrates this clearly: at 4K Ultra, the system drops to 55 FPS, while at 1080p Low, it achieves 305 FPS. This 5.5x performance swing is much larger than the 2x increase in pixel count between these resolutions, demonstrating that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher quality presets. The GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate provide ample raw power, but Fivem's draw calls and shader complexity at Ultra settings still overwhelm it at 4K.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity is a crucial consideration. While not a limiting factor at 1080p or 1440p in the measured data, the 70 FPS average at 4K High suggests that memory bandwidth and capacity are sufficient for those settings. The drop to 55 FPS at 4K Ultra indicates that the GPU's compute units, rather than VRAM, are likely the primary constraint, as the game pushes more effects and higher-resolution textures.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern of scaling across resolutions and settings. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 193 at 1080p to 127 at 1440p (a 34% decrease) and then to 70 at 4K (a further 45% decrease). This non-linear scaling is expected as pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p and by 125% from 1440p to 4K. The fact that FPS drops are smaller than the pixel count increases suggests that the system becomes less GPU-bound at lower resolutions, but at 4K, the GPU is heavily saturated.

The Low settings preset shows a similar trend but with higher absolute numbers: 305 FPS at 1080p, 201 FPS at 1440p, and 112 FPS at 4K. Interestingly, the percentage drops are more consistent here (34% and 44%), indicating that even at Low settings, the GPU is the primary scaling bottleneck. The Medium preset, which has min/max FPS data, shows averages of 241, 159, and 88 FPS for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. The min FPS at 1080p Medium is 205, and at 1440p Medium it is 135, while at 4K Medium it is 75. These minimums are notably close to the averages, suggesting relatively stable frame pacing without severe stutters.

This scaling pattern has a clear implication: the i5-14400F is capable of feeding the RTX 4070 Ti at all tested resolutions, but the GPU becomes the definitive limiting component as resolution increases. At 1080p, the system is likely balanced, with the CPU capable of maintaining high frame rates. However, the 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS demonstrates that for a smooth 60 FPS experience at maximum quality, users would need to reduce settings or resolution. The 305 FPS at 1080p Low indicates that for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, this combo is more than sufficient.
