Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

This Intel Core i5-14400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination ranks 81st out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 4.5% of all configurations measured. This is a strong result, but it is not a top-tier showing; the data indicates that the combo sits comfortably in the upper echelon, outperforming the vast majority of tested systems while leaving headroom for higher-end pairings. The ranking reflects a balanced system where the GPU carries the graphical load effectively, but the CPU's mid-range positioning prevents this from being a chart-topping configuration. Given that Fivem is a multiplayer title heavily dependent on server-side scripting and CPU throughput, a rank of 81 suggests the combo handles the game's demands with authority, but there are faster combinations above it that likely leverage higher-core-count processors.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications align closely with the measured performance. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is substantial for Fivem, which at 4K Ultra settings often stresses memory capacity; the 16 GB allocation ensures no VRAM-related stuttering at any tested resolution. The GPU's clock speeds are notable: a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2617 MHz, with memory running at an effective 30 Gbps. These clocks are high for a modern GPU, and the boost behavior is critical—Fivem's engine is not particularly demanding on raw pixel throughput, so the RTX 5080's 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 compute remains largely underutilized at lower resolutions, but it becomes relevant at 4K where the GPU must process more fragments.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its strength: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8637 and a PassMark G3D score of 36565, placing it in the 89th percentile among all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 5080 leads the Intel Arc A570M by 1.6%, trails the Intel Arc Pro A60 by 1.9%, and leads the Arc A580 by 2.5% and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500X by 2.6% in average benchmark score. These deltas are small, indicating that while the RTX 5080 is a capable GPU, it is not dramatically ahead of its closest competitors in synthetic tests. However, in Fivem specifically, the data shows the GPU's role is to drive high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, where it delivers well above 100 FPS in most settings, and to maintain playable framerates at 4K Ultra. The GPU's 112 ROPs and 336 TMUs ensure efficient rasterization, which is the primary workload in Fivem's non-ray-traced rendering.

# 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 of 4.70 GHz, built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture and 10 nm process. With 20 MB of shared L3 cache and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, this CPU is positioned as a mid-range desktop part. In Fivem, the CPU's role is significant because the game's multiplayer nature means server-side logic and entity management are processed on the client CPU. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 326.3 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. However, the CPU's benchmark scores—like a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21914 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 11209—place it in the 88th percentile among all CPUs, suggesting it is a solid performer but not exceptional.

The CPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the Intel Core i7-12800H (delta 0%), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 (delta 0.2% ahead), AMD Ryzen 7 250 (delta -0.2% behind), and Intel Core i7-13705H (delta -0.2% behind). These negligible deltas indicate that the i5-14400F performs nearly identically to these competitors in synthetic tests, but in Fivem, the combination's rank of 81 suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the FPS drops to 63.5, which is likely GPU-limited, whereas at 1080p Low, the frame rate is high enough that the CPU's single-thread performance (a PassMark single-thread score of 3723 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3093) becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's boost clock of 4.70 GHz is adequate for Fivem's single-threaded scripting, but with 10 cores, it handles multiplayer server communication without issue.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of the combo's performance across resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the combo delivers:

• Low: 326.3 FPS
• Medium: 277.3 FPS
• High: 220.2 FPS
• Ultra: 172.4 FPS

At 1440p, the numbers are:

• Low: 233.9 FPS
• Medium: 181.8 FPS
• High: 144.2 FPS
• Ultra: 114.4 FPS

At 4K (3840x2160), the performance is:

• Low: 130.5 FPS
• Medium: 101.5 FPS
• High: 81.5 FPS
• Ultra: 63.5 FPS

These figures show a consistent scaling pattern. At 1080p, even Ultra settings exceed 170 FPS, making the combo more than capable of high-refresh-rate gaming. At 1440p, Ultra still holds above 114 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. At 4K, only Low and Medium settings clear the 100 FPS mark, with Ultra falling to 63.5 FPS—still playable but not ideal for competitive play. The data shows no min or max FPS values, so only averages are available, but the averages are stable enough to indicate minimal fluctuation.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep but predictable. At Low settings, the drop is from 326.3 FPS at 1080p to 130.5 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 60%. At Medium settings, the drop is from 277.3 FPS to 101.5 FPS, a 63% reduction. At High settings, the drop is from 220.2 FPS to 81.5 FPS, a 63% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 172.4 FPS to 63.5 FPS, a 63% reduction. This consistent ~60-63% drop across settings indicates that the scaling is resolution-bound, not settings-bound. The GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as evidenced by the fact that the RTX 5080's 960.0 GB/s bandwidth and 56.28 TFLOPS are pushed to their limits at 3840x2160. In contrast, at 1080p, the CPU becomes the limiting factor, as the FPS figures—well above 300 in Low settings—suggest the GPU is waiting on CPU data. The scaling pattern confirms that this combo is balanced for 1440p gaming, where performance remains high (above 114 FPS at Ultra) without the severe drop seen at 4K.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience depends on the target resolution. At 1080p, Ultra settings are recommended because the combo still delivers 172.4 FPS, which is excellent for any display and provides the highest visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. At 1440p, High settings at 144.2 FPS are the sweet spot, offering a balance between visual quality and frame rate; Ultra at 114.4 FPS is also viable, but High provides a more comfortable margin for dips. At 4K, Medium settings at 101.5 FPS are the optimal choice, as they maintain a triple-digit frame rate while keeping visual quality reasonable; Low at 130.5 FPS is smoother but visually degraded, while High at 81.5 FPS and Ultra at 63.5 FPS are playable but may feel less responsive. The data indicates that the combo is best utilized at 1440p High, where the GPU's strengths are fully leveraged without exposing the CPU's limitations.
