Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an exceptionally high-performing combination for Fivem, ranking 45th out of 1,792 tested combos. This placement places it within the top 2.5% of all systems tested, indicating that this pairing is capable of delivering top-tier frame rates in this multiplayer title. The data shows that the combination is well-balanced for the game, with the powerful GPU ensuring high graphical fidelity while the CPU provides sufficient throughput to maintain high frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 45 out of 1,792 tested combinations is a strong indicator of its overall capability in Fivem. This percentile placement demonstrates that the i5-14400F and RTX 4090 together deliver performance that is superior to the vast majority of other tested hardware pairings. The data suggests that this system is positioned for high-refresh-rate gaming and demanding graphical settings. While the CPU alone sits at the 88th percentile among all CPUs, the GPU at the 91st percentile, their combined performance in this specific game boosts the system into the top tier of tested combos. This synergy is evident in the measured FPS, which remains high even at the most demanding settings and resolutions. The benchmark results indicate that this pairing is not a bottleneck for Fivem, allowing the hardware to operate at its full potential.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications directly contribute to the high frame rates observed. The GPU's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides a massive 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the textures and assets in Fivem at any resolution. The high memory capacity ensures that the game will not run into VRAM limits, even in heavy multiplayer scenarios with many custom models. The core clocks, with a base of 2235 MHz and a boost of 2520 MHz, allow for substantial processing throughput. This is reflected in the GPU's strong benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 38,194 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 9,223. In the measured FPS data, the GPU's power is clear; it is able to push frame rates well beyond 60 FPS at 4K and even approach or exceed 300 FPS at 1080p on lower settings, showcasing its immense rendering capabilities in this specific game.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the RTX 4090's power ensures that performance remains high even at 4K. At 1080p with High settings, the combo achieves 235 FPS, which drops to 151.7 FPS at 1440p and further to 85.5 FPS at 4K. This indicates that while the GPU is extremely powerful, the rendering load at 4K is significant enough to reduce frame rates considerably. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a 35% decrease in FPS, and from 1440p to 4K, there is a 44% decrease. This pattern demonstrates that the system is becoming more GPU-bound at higher resolutions, with the CPU's role diminishing. At 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 325.1 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's practical limit for the game's simulation thread. As resolution increases to 4K Low (134.3 FPS), the load shifts almost entirely to the GPU, showing a 59% drop in performance, which is a direct consequence of the increased pixel count.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the High preset at 1440p offers the most balanced experience, delivering 151.7 FPS. This frame rate is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate monitors while maintaining a strong level of visual fidelity. For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is a viable option, as it still produces 183.1 FPS, allowing for maximum visual quality without sacrificing competitive frame rates. At 4K, the Medium preset, with an average of 104.1 FPS, provides a better experience than High (85.5 FPS) and is much smoother than Ultra (66.8 FPS), making it the recommended choice for 4K users who prioritize frame rate. The Low preset at any resolution is unnecessary for this hardware, as even the most demanding settings provide playable frame rates. The data suggests that the system has enough headroom to run the game at high visual quality without compromising performance.

FAQ

Q: What is the best settings preset for a 4K display?

A: Based on the data, the Medium preset is recommended for 4K, as it delivers an average of 104.1 FPS, which is significantly smoother than the 85.5 FPS on High and the 66.8 FPS on Ultra.

Q: Can this combo handle a 240Hz monitor at 1440p?

A: Yes, the data shows that at 1440p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 240 FPS, and with Medium settings, it reaches 190.1 FPS, which is close to a 240Hz refresh rate.

Q: How much of a performance drop is there from 1080p to 4K on High settings?

A: The average frame rate drops from 235 FPS at 1080p High to 85.5 FPS at 4K High, representing a 64% decrease in performance.

Q: Is the RTX 4090 the limiting factor at 1080p Low settings?

A: The data suggests not. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 325.1 FPS, and the performance is likely limited by the CPU's ability to process the game's simulation logic rather than the GPU's rendering speed.

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The highest average FPS recorded is 325.1, which was measured at 1080p resolution with Low settings.

Q: Is the Ultra preset playable at 1440p?

A: Yes, the Ultra preset at 1440p yields an average of 117.7 FPS, which is a high frame rate suitable for a responsive and smooth gaming experience.

CPU Role

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, it provides strong single-thread performance, which is critical for Fivem's often CPU-bound multiplayer code. This is supported by its benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,093 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,723. In this pairing, the CPU ensures that frame rates remain high, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is not fully taxed. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system hits 325.1 FPS, a figure that is more indicative of a CPU limit than a GPU one. The processor's 20 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain data throughput, and its position at the 88th percentile of all CPUs confirms its high performance. While the RTX 4090 is the primary driver of graphical fidelity, the i5-14400F prevents the system from being bottlenecked, allowing the GPU to deliver its full potential across all tested resolutions and settings.
