Fivem

The pairing of the Intel Core i5-14600KF with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT in Fivem delivers a performance profile that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphical presets. The measured data shows a clear hierarchy across the four tested settings, with average frame rates ranging from 242 FPS at 1080p Low down to 43 FPS at 4K Ultra. This combination demonstrates significant headroom for high-refresh-rate gaming at lower resolutions, but it also reveals the expected strain on the GPU when pushing 4K with maximum visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

For users aiming for the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p is the clear winner, producing an average of 242 FPS. This setting effectively eliminates any GPU bottleneck, allowing the system to operate at its absolute maximum throughput. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p results in a substantial drop to 191 FPS, which is still exceptionally smooth but represents a 21% performance cost for the visual upgrade. The Medium preset at 1080p, with a measured average of 191 FPS and a minimum of 162 FPS, appears to be the sweet spot for competitive play, as it maintains frame rates well above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors while offering improved visual clarity over Low.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers an average of 101 FPS, which is a solid target for immersive gameplay without sacrificing responsiveness. The Medium preset at this resolution produces 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS, making it another strong contender for users who prioritize smoothness over minor graphical enhancements. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 78 FPS, which is playable but begins to show the limitations of the GPU when combined with this CPU in a multiplayer environment. For 4K gaming, the Low preset at 88 FPS is the only setting that provides a consistently playable experience. The High preset at 56 FPS and Medium at 70 FPS (with a minimum of 59 FPS) are borderline, while Ultra at 43 FPS is generally too demanding for smooth gameplay.

The data suggests that the best overall experience for this combo is either Medium at 1080p for maximum fluidity or High at 1440p for a balance of visual quality and performance. The 1080p Medium setting offers a 162 FPS minimum, ensuring that even the most chaotic scenes in multiplayer Fivem remain stable. The 1440p High setting, while lower in average FPS, provides a significant resolution upgrade that many users will find worthwhile. It is also importantly the gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial, indicating that the RX 6800 XT has a wide performance envelope but is best utilized in the mid-to-high range of settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the comprehensive benchmark database, this specific configuration of the Intel Core i5-14600KF and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT holds a rank of 1162 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the top 31% of all tested configurations, indicating that it is a strong performer for this specific game. The percentile ranking suggests that while this combo is not at the very top of the leaderboard, it outperforms the vast majority of other CPU-GPU pairings. This reflects the raw power of both components, even in a game that is known to be sensitive to CPU performance due to its multiplayer nature.

When looking at the individual components' standings, the CPU holds a 90th percentile ranking against all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 85th percentile against all GPUs. This suggests that the processor is slightly more of a performance asset than the graphics card in this context. The combo's overall rank of 1162, when compared to these high individual percentiles, suggests that the pair works well together but may not be perfectly balanced in Fivem. The CPU's strength is likely being utilized more heavily, while the GPU may have some headroom left at lower resolutions. The data implies that this is a well-matched combination for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the CPU's strong single-core performance can shine.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a formidable graphics card built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture. It features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. The card's clock speeds are substantial, with a base clock of 1825 MHz and a boost clock of 2250 MHz, along with a game clock of 2015 MHz. These specifications translate to a peak FP32 performance of 20.74 TFLOPS. In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution and settings are raised. The data clearly shows this: at 1080p Low, the GPU is not the bottleneck, but at 4K Ultra, it becomes the primary limiter, with average FPS plummeting to 43.

The GPU's performance relative to its peers further contextualizes its capability. Its average benchmark score of 48477 places it just 1.5% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, yet it trails the Intel Arc A550M by 2.5% and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti by 3%. This indicates that while the RX 6800 XT is a high-end card, it is not the absolute fastest in the database. However, its 16 GB of VRAM is a significant asset, ensuring that texture-heavy scenes in Fivem will not exceed memory capacity even at 4K. The measured frame rates in Fivem, such as the 242 FPS at 1080p Low, demonstrate that the GPU has ample compute power to feed high-refresh-rate displays when the CPU can keep up.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling across resolutions provides clear insight into where the bottleneck lies for this system. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at the High preset reduces the average frame rate from 153 FPS to 101 FPS, a 34% drop. This significant decline indicates that the GPU is beginning to become more of a limiting factor. However, the transition from 1440p to 4K at the same High preset is even more dramatic, with the average frame rate falling from 101 FPS to 56 FPS, a 45% reduction. This steep drop-off at 4K unequivocally identifies the GPU as the primary bottleneck at that resolution.

The pattern is consistent across all settings. At Low preset, the frame rate drops from 242 FPS at 1080p to 159 FPS at 1440p and then to 88 FPS at 4K. The scaling factor from 1080p to 4K is roughly 2.75x, which is close to the pixel count difference, confirming that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K. In contrast, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is less than the pixel count increase, suggesting that the CPU still plays a significant role at these lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1080p, the system is likely CPU-bound, as the frame rates are incredibly high and the GPU has plenty of headroom. As resolution increases, the workload shifts to the GPU, which then becomes the performance ceiling.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600KF is a 14-core, 20-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. It features 24 MB of shared L3 cache and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. In Fivem, a multiplayer game that often involves complex scripting and physics calculations, the CPU's strong single-core performance is crucial. The processor's Geekbench single-core score of 2445 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4594 indicate excellent per-thread performance, which is essential for maintaining high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 49394 places it in the 90th percentile, and it is closely matched with its nearest rivals, showing a delta of less than 1% against all four listed competitors. This suggests that the i5-14600KF is at the top of its class for general processing power. In Fivem, the CPU's influence is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 242 FPS, a figure that is likely limited by the CPU's ability to process game logic rather than the GPU's rendering capabilities. The high boost clock of 5.30 GHz is a key asset here, as it ensures rapid response times for the game's simulation thread. The data shows that this processor provides ample power to avoid bottlenecking the RX 6800 XT until resolution and settings are pushed to their limits.
