Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for FiveM with the Intel Core i5-14600K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti reveals a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 305 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the entire dataset. However, the Medium preset achieves 241 FPS average with a minimum of 205 FPS and a maximum of 277 FPS, providing a more visually balanced experience while still maintaining a substantial frame-rate cushion above typical high-refresh-rate display thresholds. The High preset at 1080p drops to 193 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 150 FPS average.

For the best experience per the measured rows, the Medium preset represents the optimal compromise between visual fidelity and performance headroom. The data shows that at 2560x1440, Medium still produces 159 FPS average with a minimum of 135 FPS, which is a remarkable result for a multiplayer title that often involves dense urban environments and numerous player models. The High preset at 1440p produces 127 FPS average, which is certainly playable, but the Medium preset’s margin over the 135 FPS minimum suggests more consistent frame pacing.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset yields 88 FPS average with a minimum of 75 FPS and a maximum of 101 FPS. This is the only 4K preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS while also having a documented minimum above 60 FPS. The High preset at 4K averages 70 FPS, but no minimum is recorded in the data, which introduces uncertainty about frame-time stability. The Ultra preset at 4K falls to 55 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider the baseline for smooth gameplay. Therefore, the Medium preset is recommended as the primary choice across all resolutions, with the understanding that High at 1440p or 1080p can be used when prioritizing visual quality over the additional performance headroom.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node from TSMC, featuring 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. The GPU has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, with 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU’s FP32 compute throughput is rated at 40.09 TFLOPS, which is substantial for a card in this class.

In the context of FiveM, the GPU’s role is primarily defined by the resolution scaling behavior observed in the measured FPS data. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 305, which indicates that the GPU is not the limiting factor at this resolution and settings combination. As the resolution increases to 1440p, the Low preset still produces 201 FPS, and at 4K Low, the average is 112 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a reduction of approximately 63%, which is consistent with the pixel count increase of 4x, suggesting that the GPU is becoming more involved as resolution rises, but the CPU is still contributing significantly to the frame rate at lower settings.

The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s and 12 GB VRAM capacity are relevant for FiveM’s texture streaming and draw-distance settings. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 55, which is a 51% reduction from the 4K Medium average of 88 FPS. This steep drop indicates that the Ultra preset imposes a significant load on the GPU, likely through increased shadow quality, reflection detail, and post-processing effects that consume both compute and memory bandwidth. The RTX 4070 Ti’s 80 ROPs and 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K Ultra results demonstrate the limitations of this GPU at the highest settings in this specific game.

The GPU’s percentile ranking of 84 among all GPUs, combined with its average benchmark score of 44795, places it in a competitive position. The nearest rival data shows the RTX 4070 Ti is 0.8% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, 1.3% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, and 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A6000. These deltas are small, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti sits in a tightly contested performance band. For FiveM specifically, the measured FPS at Medium settings across all resolutions suggests that the GPU can handle the game’s typical load without becoming the primary bottleneck until 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600K features 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The processor is based on the Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on a 10 nm process node by Intel, with a die size of 257 mm². The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and its 125 W TDP indicates a high-performance desktop part.

In FiveM, the CPU’s role is particularly pronounced at lower resolutions and settings, where the frame rate is less constrained by the GPU. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the average FPS reaches 305, which is an extremely high value that can only be achieved when the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough draw calls and game logic updates. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration provides ample parallel processing capacity for FiveM’s multiplayer environment, where multiple player characters, vehicles, and dynamic events must be simulated simultaneously.

The CPU’s boost clock of 5.30 GHz is critical for single-threaded performance, which is often the limiting factor in game engines that rely on a main simulation thread. The benchmark data supports this: the Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2064, and the Geekbench single-core score is 2491. These scores indicate strong per-core performance, which translates to the ability to maintain high frame rates even when the game’s main thread is heavily loaded. The multi-core performance is also robust, with Cinebench R23 multi-core scoring 24491 and Passmark multithread scoring 38682.

The CPU’s percentile ranking of 90 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48618, places it in the top decile. The nearest rival data shows the i5-14600K is 0.2% behind the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H, 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 4345P, and 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245HX. These small deltas suggest that the i5-14600K is well-positioned relative to its immediate competitors. For FiveM, the CPU’s role is evident in the scaling pattern: at 1080p Low, the FPS is 305, but at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 150 FPS. This 51% reduction at the same resolution is driven by the GPU’s increased workload, but the fact that the CPU can still push 150 FPS at Ultra settings indicates that it is not the primary bottleneck in this configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across three resolutions and four settings presets provides a detailed picture of how this CPU-GPU combo scales with pixel count. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 305 FPS at 1080p to 201 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 112 FPS at 4K (a further 44% reduction from 1440p). This scaling pattern indicates that at Low settings, the GPU is not the primary limiting factor at 1080p or 1440p, since the frame rate drops are less than what would be expected from the pixel count increase alone. At 4K Low, the 112 FPS average suggests the GPU is becoming more constrained, but the CPU still has headroom.

At Medium settings, the frame rate scales from 241 FPS at 1080p to 159 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 88 FPS at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p). The minimum FPS values also scale proportionally: 205 at 1080p, 135 at 1440p, and 75 at 4K. This consistent scaling pattern suggests that the workload is balanced between CPU and GPU, with neither component fully dominating the frame rate at Medium settings.

At High settings, the frame rate drops from 193 FPS at 1080p to 127 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 70 FPS at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p). The percentage reductions are nearly identical to those observed at Medium settings, which indicates that the High preset does not fundamentally shift the bottleneck. At Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 150 FPS at 1080p to 98 FPS at 1440p (a 35% reduction) and then to 55 FPS at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS average, which suggests that the GPU’s compute and memory resources are fully saturated at this extreme setting.

The overall pattern across all settings shows that the frame rate reduction from 1080p to 1440p is consistently around 34-35%, while the reduction from 1440p to 4K is consistently around 44-45%. This consistent scaling indicates that the limiting component is the GPU, since the CPU’s workload does not increase with resolution. The fact that even at Low settings, the frame rate drops by 34% from 1080p to 1440p, confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary constraint on frame rate as resolution increases, despite its strong performance at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a clear progression across settings. The Low preset produces an average of 305 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. The Medium preset averages 241 FPS with a minimum of 205 FPS and a maximum of 277 FPS, providing a documented frame-time range that spans 72 FPS. The High preset averages 193 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 150 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 155 FPS, which represents a 51% reduction in average frame rate when moving from the lowest to the highest settings.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 201 FPS, which is still an exceptionally high frame rate for a multiplayer game at this resolution. The Medium preset averages 159 FPS with a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 182 FPS, showing a 47 FPS range between minimum and maximum. The High preset averages 127 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 98 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 103 FPS, which is a 51% reduction, consistent with the percentage reduction observed at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 112 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold and still provides a smooth experience. The Medium preset averages 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS and a maximum of 101 FPS, making it the only 4K preset with a documented minimum above 60 FPS. The High preset averages 70 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 55 FPS, which is the only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS average. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 57 FPS, which is a 51% reduction, matching the pattern seen at the other resolutions.

The data also reveals that the Medium preset is the only configuration where minimum FPS values are recorded at all three resolutions. This suggests that the measurement methodology captured more detailed frame-time data for this preset, or that the Medium preset produces more consistent frame pacing. The minimum FPS values at Medium settings are 205 at 1080p, 135 at 1440p, and 75 at 4K, all of which are well above playable thresholds. The maximum FPS values at Medium settings are 277 at 1080p, 182 at 1440p, and 101 at 4K, showing that the game can still deliver high frame rates even with the additional detail enabled.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14600K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination ranks 459th out of 3707 tested combos in FiveM, placing it in the top 12.4% of all configurations. This ranking is notable given the game’s release in 2017ese and its multiplayer nature, which often introduces CPU-bound scenarios in densely populated servers. The rank of 459 indicates that while this combo is not at the absolute top of the performance hierarchy, it outperforms the vast majority of tested systems.

The CPU’s percentile ranking of 90 among all CPUs provides context for this result. The i5-14600K is in the top 10% of processors based on average benchmark scores, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.8% of its score. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 84 among all GPUs is slightly lower, but still places the RTX 4070 Ti in the top 16% of graphics cards. The combination of a top-decile CPU with a top-quartile GPU explains why this combo ranks at the 87.6th percentile in FiveM specifically.

The ranking of 459 out of 3707 combos suggests that there are 458 configurations that perform better in this game. Given the CPU and GPU’s individual benchmark positions, these higher-ranked combos likely feature more powerful GPUs (such as the RTX 4090 series) or CPUs with higher multi-core scores. However, the measured FPS data shows that this combo is capable of delivering 305 FPS at 1080p Low and 88 FPS at 4K Medium, which are both strong results. The rank of 459 should be interpreted as a reflection of the overall competitive landscape, where the RTX 4070 Ti’s position as an end-of-life product (with a successor in the GeForce 50 series) and the i5-14600K’s mid-range status contribute to the final ranking.

The nearest rival data for the CPU shows that the i5-14600K is essentially tied with the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (0.2% difference) and the AMD EPYC 4345P (0.3% difference), which are both server-class processors. This suggests that the i5-14600K’s performance profile is competitive with higher-tier parts, and the slightly lower ranking in FiveM is likely attributable to the GPU’s performance rather than the CPU’s. The GPU’s nearest rivals show a similar tight grouping, with the RTX 4070 Ti within 1.7% of three other GPUs. This indicates that the combo’s rank of 459 is not due to any single component being a weak link, but rather the overall balance of the system in the context of all 3707 tested combinations.
