Fivem

The data for Fivem with the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti reveals a system that is heavily balanced toward the graphics card, yet shows distinct scaling patterns that hint at the unique demands of this multiplayer title. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings provide a clear picture of where this combination excels and where its limitations surface.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 produces a dramatic and consistent drop in performance across all settings, but the magnitude of that drop tells a specific story about the bottleneck. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 199.2 FPS at 1080p to 129.2 FPS at 1440p, and then to 75.5 FPS at 4K. That represents a 35% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, followed by a further 42% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is a substantial 62%, indicating that the GPU is being pushed to its absolute limits at the highest resolution.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The system delivers 321.1 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 211.3 FPS at 1440p and then to 115.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage degradation from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%. This pattern suggests that even when the graphical load is minimized, the rendering pipeline still struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K, a sign that the sheer pixel count becomes the dominant factor.

The Ultra preset shows the steepest cliff. From 154.6 FPS at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 100.2 FPS at 1440p and then to 54.1 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 46%, and the overall reduction from 1080p to 4K is 65%. This is a clear indication that the most demanding settings place an enormous strain on the GPU, and the 4K Ultra experience becomes the weakest point for this combo.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is clearly the primary driver of performance in this test, given the steep resolution scaling. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the data demands of a game like Fivem. The GDDR7 memory operates at a 1750 MHz base with a 28 Gbps effective rate, and the GPU itself has a boost clock of 2452 MHz. These specifications align with the observed behavior: at 1080p and 1440p, the system is likely CPU-bound in many scenarios, but at 4K, the GPU's raw compute power becomes the limiting factor.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its position. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 6604, and in Geekbench OpenCL it reaches 231226. These numbers place the RTX 5070 Ti in the 87th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 52086. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, scores nearly identically at 52085, with a deltaPct of 0. This suggests that the RTX 5070 Ti is a very high-end card, but the Fivem results show that it still cannot overcome the demands of 4K Ultra, where it drops to 54.1 FPS.

The GPU's dual-slot design and 300 W TDP suggest it is a power-hungry component, but the data shows it delivers performance that is competitive with the previous generation's top-tier cards. The fact that the RTX 5070 Ti scores 32974 in Passmark G3D and 20203 in Passmark GPU Compute further underscores its capability, yet the Fivem numbers reveal that the game's engine does not always translate this raw power into proportional frame rate gains at lower resolutions, where the CPU takes on more responsibility.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It is built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture and has a 20 MB shared L3 cache. This processor is a solid mid-range option, and its benchmark scores reflect that. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21914 in multi-core and 3093 in single-core. In Geekbench, it achieves 11209 multi-core and 2333 single-core. These figures place the CPU in the 88th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32508.

The CPU's role in Fivem becomes apparent when examining the frame rates at 1080p. At Low settings, the system hits 321.1 FPS, which is exceptionally high. This suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to maintain very high frame rates, but it also implies that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The nearest rivals to the i5-14400F, such as the Intel Core i7-12800H with a score of 32513 and a deltaPct of 0, and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 with 32446 and a deltaPct of 0.2, show that this CPU is squarely in the middle of a competitive pack. Its performance is within 0.2% of these rivals, indicating that the choice of CPU among these options would have minimal impact on Fivem's frame rates.

However, the data suggests that the CPU's single-threaded performance is crucial for Fivem's upper limits. The single-core scores, such as 3723 in Passmark Single Thread and 3093 in Cinebench R23, are respectable but not exceptional. At 1080p Low, the frame rate of 321.1 FPS is likely near the ceiling of what this CPU can produce, and the drop to 199.2 FPS at High settings indicates that the GPU is starting to take over as the limiting factor.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested combinations, this pairing of the i5-14400F and RTX 5070 Ti ranks 145th out of 1792 combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 8% of all systems tested, which is a strong showing. The high ranking is expected given the GPU's 87th percentile standing and the CPU's 88th percentile standing, but the fact that it is not higher suggests that Fivem's performance is not perfectly correlated with raw component scores.

The combo rank of 145 out of 1792 indicates that there are 144 other combinations that perform better. Given that the RTX 5070 Ti is a top-tier GPU, the relative ranking is likely held back by the CPU. The i5-14400F is a capable processor, but it is not the absolute fastest, and in a game like Fivem, which may have heavy single-threaded loading, a stronger CPU could push the combo higher. The data shows that the combo is well above average, but it also highlights that there is headroom for improvement if the CPU were upgraded or if the game's engine better utilized the multi-threaded capabilities of the 16 threads.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the best experience depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is viable, delivering 154.6 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay. The High preset at 199.2 FPS offers a smoother experience with only a marginal visual difference, but the Ultra setting is still playable without any frame rate concerns.

For 2560x1440, the High preset at 129.2 FPS is the sweet spot, providing a balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset at 100.2 FPS is also acceptable, but the 22% reduction from High may not be worth the visual gains. The Medium preset at 163.7 FPS is the best choice for players who prioritize frame rate over visuals, as it offers a significant boost over High while still looking decent.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations change dramatically. The Ultra preset at 54.1 FPS is borderline unplayable for most users, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 75.5 FPS is the minimum recommended setting for a playable experience, while the Medium preset at 91 FPS offers a smoother experience with only a slight visual downgrade. The Low preset at 115.9 FPS is the best option for 4K players who want to maximize frame rate, but it sacrifices the visual quality that makes the game look good at that resolution.
