Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics preset. The data indicates a system that can comfortably handle high refresh rates at 1080p but transitions to a graphics-bound experience as pixel count increases, with the Ultra preset proving particularly demanding across all tested resolutions. The measured results place this combination in the 989th rank out of 1792 combos, reflecting a mid-to-upper tier standing for this specific multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals a clear transition in the system's bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the hardware produces an average of 194.2 FPS, which is an exceptional figure that suggests the CPU and GPU have ample headroom. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low preset drops the average to 124.4 FPS, a reduction of approximately 36%. The jump to 3840x2160 Low yields 67.8 FPS, which is another significant drop of roughly 45% from the 1440p result. This pattern of steep percentage declines indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as resolution scales.

The Ultra preset tells a similar story but with more dramatic consequences. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 91.9, which is playable but far from the high refresh rates seen at Low. At 1440p Ultra, the average falls to 60.6 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it plummets to 31.3 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra represents a 34% drop, while the transition from 1440p to 4K is a 48% reduction. These figures suggest that the RX 6700 XT's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and its 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated by the higher resolution and more complex shading, with the GPU's compute resources becoming the primary constraint.

When examining the Medium preset, the scaling is more linear. The 1080p Medium average is 154 FPS, dropping to 98.2 FPS at 1440p (a 36% decrease) and then to 53.3 FPS at 4K (a 46% decrease). The High preset follows a nearly identical pattern: 120.4 FPS at 1080p, 80.3 FPS at 1440p, and 42.6 FPS at 4K. The consistency of these percentage drops across Medium and High suggests that the rendering pipeline is well-balanced for this game, but the absolute numbers indicate that 4K gaming will require compromises. The data clearly shows that for this title, the i5-14600KF's 14 cores and 20 threads are sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck, as the frame rate declines align closely with the increase in pixel workload rather than showing any CPU-related plateau.

The consistent frame rate scaling with resolution changes points to the GPU as the primary limiter.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is the decisive component in determining Fivem's performance, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2321 MHz and a boost clock of 2581 MHz, with a game clock of 2424 MHz. These clock speeds, combined with the 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units, provide the raw processing power needed for this multiplayer title. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which becomes critical when rendering at 3840x2160 where the frame buffer demands are significantly higher.

The benchmark results show that the GPU's performance is competitive with its direct rivals. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2435 and Passmark G3D score of 19786 indicate a solid mid-range performer. The GPU's percentile rank of 77 among all GPUs, combined with its average benchmark score of 33721, places it in a position where it can handle 1080p and 1440p gaming with ease but struggles at 4K with higher presets. The measured FPS data confirms this, as the 4K Ultra result of 31.3 FPS is the only configuration that falls below the 40 FPS threshold, suggesting the GPU's 13.21 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is insufficient for the most demanding settings at that resolution.

The GPU's memory configuration plays a crucial role in the observed performance scaling. The 12 GB capacity is not exceeded at any tested setting, but the bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s appears to be a limiting factor when transitioning from 1440p to 4K. The percentage drops in frame rate from 1440p to 4K are consistently around 45-48% regardless of the preset, which correlates with the four-fold increase in pixel count that the memory system must service. The GPU's 64 ROPs, which provide a pixel rate of 165.2 GPixel/s, are also likely contributing to the performance degradation at 4K, as the fill rate requirements become more demanding.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and the user's preference for visual fidelity versus smoothness. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset offers the best overall experience, delivering an average of 154 FPS while providing a significant visual upgrade over Low. The High preset at 1080p yields 120.4 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play and offers better image quality. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 91.9 FPS, which is playable but may not be ideal for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios where high refresh rates are advantageous.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is recommended as the primary choice, producing an average of 80.3 FPS. This provides a good balance between visual quality and performance, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 1440p achieves 98.2 FPS, which is preferable for users who prioritize frame rate over graphical detail. The Ultra preset at this resolution falls to 60.6 FPS, which is borderline for competitive play but acceptable for casual gaming. The Low preset at 1440p, while producing 124.4 FPS, sacrifices too much visual quality to be recommended when Medium offers a substantial improvement for only a 21% reduction in frame rate.

For 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only viable option for smooth gameplay, with an average of 67.8 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K produces 53.3 FPS, which is marginal but workable for less competitive modes. The High and Ultra presets at 4K, with averages of 42.6 FPS and 31.3 FPS respectively, are not recommended for multiplayer play due to the risk of frame rate drops during intense sequences. The data suggests that users with 4K displays should either stick to Low settings in Fivem or consider reducing the resolution to 1440p to unlock higher quality presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates provides a detailed picture of performance across all combinations of resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves the highest average of 194.2 FPS, followed by Medium at 154 FPS, High at 120.4 FPS, and Ultra at 91.9 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 102.3 FPS, demonstrating the significant impact of graphical settings on this title.

At 2560x1440, the results show a consistent scaling pattern. The Low preset averages 124.4 FPS, which is still a high refresh rate figure. Medium produces 98.2 FPS, High yields 80.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 60.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 63.8 FPS, which is a smaller absolute gap than at 1080p but represents a similar percentage reduction. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in an average frame rate loss of approximately 35-36% across all presets, indicating that the GPU's rendering workload scales predictably with resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope narrows considerably. The Low preset averages 67.8 FPS, which is the only 4K configuration that exceeds 60 FPS. Medium averages 53.3 FPS, High averages 42.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 31.3 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a more pronounced drop, averaging around 45-48% across all presets. This steeper decline suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are being pushed to their limits at 4K. The data reveals that this combination of the Intel Core i5-14600KF and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver high frame rates across a range of settings, while 4K gaming requires significant compromises in visual quality to maintain playable performance.
