Fivem

The pairing of the Intel Core i5-14600K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER in Fivem presents a classic study in component balance. The data shows a configuration that is clearly capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p but encounters a hard ceiling as resolution and graphical fidelity increase. The measured frame rates reveal a system where the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher loads, despite the CPU’s strong synthetic benchmark pedigree.

FAQ

Q: What is the overall performance ranking of this CPU and GPU combo in Fivem?

A: This specific combination ranks 1260 out of 1792 tested combos in the database for Fivem. This places it in the lower half of all tested pairings, indicating that while playable, many other configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this specific multiplayer title.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The GPU’s average benchmark score is 19774. Its closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, which scores 19706, making the RTX 2060 SUPER 0.3% faster. It also leads the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 by 0.5% and the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 by 0.8%, showing a tight cluster of performance at this tier.

Q: What is the best performance result recorded for this configuration?

A: The highest average frame rate recorded is 160 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings. This demonstrates the system's ability to push very high frame rates when the graphical load is minimized.

Q: What is the worst performance result recorded for this configuration?

A: The lowest average frame rate is 30 FPS, occurring at 3840x2160 resolution with Ultra settings. This shows that the configuration struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K with maximum graphical detail, hitting a performance wall.

Q: How does the GPU's DirectX 12 performance compare to its DirectX 11 performance?

A: In synthetic Passmark tests, the GPU scores 130 in DirectX 11 but only 61 in DirectX 12. This indicates that the Turing architecture in this card performs significantly better under the older DirectX 11 API in this specific benchmark workload.

Q: What is the CPU's synthetic single-threaded performance relative to its multi-threaded performance?

A: The i5-14600K scores 4642 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 32881 in multi-core. This shows a very strong single-core capability, which is often critical for gaming, while the multi-core score highlights its 14-core and 20-thread configuration is also potent for heavily threaded tasks.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the definitive bottleneck in this configuration at higher settings. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The card’s base clock is 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, and it houses 2176 shading units. This specification set is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the data shows it is quickly overwhelmed as resolution climbs.

The benchmark results in Fivem illustrate this clearly. At 1080p with Low settings, the card can output an average of 160 FPS. However, the frame rate drops precipitously when moving to 4K Ultra, where it averages just 30 FPS. The difference between the Low and Ultra settings at 4K is 28 FPS, showing the immense strain that high-resolution textures and effects place on the GPU's 8 GB VRAM buffer and processing cores. The GPU’s 12 nm process node and 175 W TDP are factors in this performance ceiling, as the card is an end-of-life product with a 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs. In this pairing, the CPU has ample headroom, but the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates when the graphical workload becomes intense.

How This Combo Ranks

The ranking of 1260 out of 1792 combos places this system in the 70th percentile of tested configurations for Fivem, meaning roughly 70% of tested systems perform better. This is a significant indicator that this specific CPU-GPU pairing is not optimal for maximizing Fivem's performance, despite the individual components being competent. The data suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER holds the system back, as the i5-14600K is a much stronger performer relative to its own peers.

The CPU ranks in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49166. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, scores 49062, making the i5-14600K 0.2% faster. This high level of CPU performance is contrasted sharply by the GPU's 63rd percentile ranking. The disconnect between the CPU's high standing and the combo's lowly 1260th rank points directly to the graphics card as the limiting factor. In Fivem, a game that can be demanding on both CPU and GPU depending on the server and scenario, this imbalance results in a system that is held back from reaching its full potential, especially in visually crowded areas or with high graphical settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the system's behavior across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the system performs admirably. With Low settings, it achieves an average of 160 FPS. Moving to Medium settings drops this to 126.7 FPS, and High settings further reduce it to 102.4 FPS. Pushing to Ultra settings yields an average of 78.1 FPS. These numbers indicate a very playable experience at 1080p, with even the highest settings clearing the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to show strain. Low settings yield an average of 102.1 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 1080p Low result. Medium settings produce 83.2 FPS, and High settings average 65.3 FPS. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls to 51.9 FPS, dipping below the 60 FPS target that many gamers consider the minimum for a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the system is clearly out of its depth. Low settings produce an average of 58 FPS, which is the only 4K preset that approaches playability. Medium settings drop to 45.4 FPS, High settings fall to 34.9 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 30 FPS. This resolution is not viable for this combo if a consistent 60 FPS is desired.

Resolution Scaling

The performance degradation from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the GPU-bound nature of this configuration. Starting with the Low settings preset, the average FPS drops from 160 at 1080p to 102.1 at 1440p, a reduction of 36.2%. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the frame rate drops from 102.1 to 58, a further reduction of 43.2%. From 1080p to 4K at Low settings, the system loses 102 FPS, retaining only 36.3% of its original performance.

The scaling pattern is similar for the Ultra preset. The average FPS drops from 78.1 at 1080p to 51.9 at 1440p, a 33.5% reduction. Then from 1440p to 4K, it falls from 51.9 to 30, a 42.2% reduction. This steep decline suggests that the rendering load is scaling with pixel count, which taxes the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth. Since the CPU is a high-end 14-core processor with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, it is unlikely to be the limiting factor at these resolutions. The data strongly implies that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are insufficient to maintain high frame rates as the pixel count increases, making it the definitive bottleneck in this system for higher-resolution gaming.
