# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 brings substantial graphics horsepower to Fivem, equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock runs at 2205 MHz with a boost clock of 2505 MHz, while memory operates at an effective 22.4 Gbps. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units, the RTX 4080 provides 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance — a figure that helps explain its capability in handling Fivem's rendering demands across varied multiplayer environments.

The data reveals that the RTX 4080's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution climbs. At 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 327 FPS average, suggesting the GPU is far from saturated and the frame rate is being constrained by other factors, likely including CPU-bound scenarios common in multiplayer games with many entities. However, at 4K Ultra settings, the average drops to 60 FPS, indicating the GPU is now the primary bottleneck as pixel count quadruples and visual effects intensify.

The GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs underscores its high-end positioning. When compared to its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, the performance delta is negligible at 0.1%, meaning in Fivem, the standard RTX 4080 offers effectively identical performance to its SUPER variant based on the benchmark data. The RTX 4080 also holds a 2.6% advantage over the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and a 2.7% edge over the AMD Radeon 8060S, though these deltas are relatively small in the context of real-world gaming.

VRAM capacity of 16 GB proves ample for Fivem at all tested settings, as no memory-related stutters or frame drops are evident in the measured FPS data, even at 4K Ultra where texture streaming and draw distances are most demanding. The memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s ensures that high-resolution textures and geometry can be fed to the GPU cores without starving them, which is particularly relevant in Fivem's open-world multiplayer scenarios where large amounts of unique player-created content can be visible simultaneously.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals clear scaling patterns as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 327 at 1920x1080 to 219 at 2560x1440 (a 33% reduction), then to 122 at 3840x2160 (a 44% further reduction). This steep decline at Low settings indicates that even with minimal graphical load, the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count grows, though the absolute frame rates remain very high.

At High settings, the scaling is similar: 210 FPS at 1080p, 138 FPS at 1440p (34% lower), and 77 FPS at 4K (44% lower). The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High settings suggests that resolution scaling is relatively uniform regardless of graphical complexity, pointing to the GPU's compute capacity as the limiting factor rather than memory bandwidth or VRAM size.

Medium settings show the most complete data, with min and max FPS recorded at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the combo averages 263 FPS with a range of 223-302 FPS. Moving to 1440p Medium, the average drops to 173 FPS with a range of 147-199 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 96 FPS with a range of 82-110 FPS. The min-to-max spread narrows as resolution increases in percentage terms, indicating more consistent frame pacing at higher resolutions where the GPU is more uniformly loaded.

Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic resolution sensitivity: 163 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p (34% lower), and 60 FPS at 4K (44% lower). The fact that 4K Ultra lands at exactly 60 FPS average suggests the GPU is hitting a performance ceiling that aligns with common display refresh rates, making this combination viable for 60 Hz 4K gaming but not for higher refresh rate 4K displays at maximum settings.

The limiting component shifts clearly with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU likely constrains performance, especially in multiplayer scenarios where physics and AI simulations for other players add CPU overhead — this is evident from the massive 327 FPS at Low settings that far exceeds what the GPU would need to render. At 4K, the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck, as evidenced by the consistent ~44% FPS reduction when moving from 1440p to 4K across all settings.

# How This Combo Ranks

This Intel Core i5-14400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 configuration holds the 254th position out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 6.9% of all configurations. This ranking is notable given that the CPU is a mid-range offering while the GPU is a high-end part, suggesting that Fivem's performance characteristics reward strong single-threaded CPU performance alongside substantial GPU capability.

The rank indicates that while this combo is very capable, there are 253 configurations that achieve higher FPS in Fivem. Given that the RTX 4080 sits at the 86th percentile among GPUs and the i5-14400F at the 83rd percentile among CPUs, the combo's ranking below the top 100 is likely attributable to CPU limitations in Fivem's multiplayer engine, which historically favors higher-clock-speed processors with strong single-thread performance.

The data shows that this combo outperforms the vast majority (93.1%) of tested configurations, making it a highly competitive choice for Fivem players. However, the gap to the top-ranked combos likely involves higher-tier CPUs such as flagship Core i9 or Ryzen 9 parts that can push frame rates higher in CPU-bound scenarios, particularly at 1080p where the RTX 4080 has headroom to spare.

Interestingly, the combo's rank of 254 suggests that Fivem's multiplayer nature creates unique bottlenecks that don't appear in synthetic benchmarks. While the i5-14400F's average benchmark score of 32,279 places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32,233, +0.1%) and Intel Core i9-11900 (32,226, +0.2%), the real-world Fivem performance may be more influenced by the CPU's ability to handle many concurrent player entities and their associated game logic.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F provides 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz.

These results place the CPU at the 83rd percentile among all tested processors.

The CPU's role in Fivem becomes apparent when examining the FPS data at 1080p. At Low settings, the combo achieves 327 FPS average, which is an extraordinarily high frame rate that likely exceeds what the GPU alone would produce if it were the sole bottleneck. This suggests that at 1080p, the i5-14400F's boost clock of 4.70 GHz helps drive frame rates to levels where the GPU is not fully utilized, and the CPU's ability to process game logic, entity updates, and network code in multiplayer sessions becomes the limiting factor.

The 65W TDP of the i5-14400F is relatively modest, yet the CPU still manages to keep pace with significantly higher-power rivals in benchmark scores. The nearest rival comparisons show the i5-14400F trading blows with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (+0.1%), Intel Core i9-11900 (+0.2%), AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS (-0.2%), and Intel Core i7-12800H (+0.5%). These tight deltas indicate that the i5-14400F offers competitive CPU performance in Fivem, though it may not provide the headroom needed to push frame rates beyond certain thresholds in CPU-bound scenarios.

Low settings average 219 FPS, Medium averages 173 FPS with a range of 147-199 FPS, High averages 138 FPS, and Ultra averages 107 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is consistent at approximately 33% across all settings, demonstrating that resolution scaling is predictable and GPU-bound.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop further but remain playable. Low settings average 122 FPS, Medium averages 96 FPS with a range of 82-110 FPS, High averages 77 FPS, and Ultra averages 60 FPS. The 4K to 1440p reduction is approximately 44% across settings, showing that the GPU's rendering load increases more steeply when moving to 4K than when moving from 1080p to 1440p.

The Medium settings rows provide the only complete min/max data, revealing frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the range of 223-302 FPS represents a spread of 79 FPS, or about 30% of the average. At 1440p Medium, the range of 147-199 FPS represents a spread of 52 FPS, or about 30% of the average. At 4K Medium, the range of 82-110 FPS represents a spread of 28 FPS, or about 29% of the average. This consistent relative spread suggests stable frame pacing across resolutions.

# Settings Recommendations

For players targeting the highest possible frame rates, particularly for competitive multiplayer scenarios, Low settings at 1080p deliver 327 FPS average, which provides maximum responsiveness and minimal input latency. This configuration is likely to be preferred by players who prioritize smoothness over visual fidelity, especially in fast-paced Fivem gameplay where reaction times matter.

For a balance between visual quality and performance, Medium settings at 1440p offer 173 FPS average, which exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors while providing noticeably better visual detail than Low settings. The min FPS of 147 ensures that even during intense multiplayer moments, the frame rate remains well above 144 Hz, making this an excellent choice for 144 Hz display owners.

At 4K, the Medium preset delivers 96 FPS average, which is suitable for high refresh rate 4K gaming on displays supporting 100 Hz or higher. However, the High preset at 4K drops to 77 FPS, which is still smooth but may not fully utilize 120 Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 4K averages exactly 60 FPS, making it ideal for standard 60 Hz displays but potentially leaving performance headroom unused on higher refresh rate panels.

The data suggests that the optimal experience depends heavily on display capabilities. For 1080p users with high refresh rate monitors (240 Hz or above), High settings at 210 FPS may be the sweet spot, offering better visuals than Low while still exceeding most display refresh rates. For 1440p users, High settings at 138 FPS pairs well with 144 Hz displays, while Medium at 173 FPS suits 165 Hz or 170 Hz monitors. For 4K users, the choice between Medium (96 FPS) and High (77 FPS) depends on whether visual quality or frame rate consistency is prioritized, with Ultra (60 FPS) reserved for cinematic single-player experiences or players with 60 Hz displays.
