# Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows a clear progression of average FPS across settings presets at each resolution, with Low settings consistently delivering the highest frame rates. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 129.9 FPS, which is 44.9% higher than the Medium preset's 100.4 FPS. This gap narrows slightly at 2560x1440, where Low delivers 88 FPS versus Medium's 68.4 FPS, a 28.7% improvement.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the Medium preset appears to be the optimal choice. At 1080p, Medium produces 100.4 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS threshold commonly considered playable, while offering substantially better visual fidelity than Low. At 1440p, Medium maintains 68.4 FPS, still above 60 FPS, making it viable for higher-resolution displays. High settings at 1080p produce 83.6 FPS, which is also acceptable, but the drop to 52.2 FPS at 1440p makes High less consistent across resolutions.

The Ultra preset is the least recommended option. At 1080p, it delivers 66 FPS, which is playable, but at 1440p it falls to 41.3 FPS, and at 4K it drops to a sluggish 21.7 FPS. The data indicates that the performance cost of Ultra settings is steep, with a 49.2% reduction in FPS compared to Medium at 1080p (66 vs 100.4). Given these measurements, Medium settings provide the best experience by maintaining playable frame rates across all resolutions while preserving a reasonable level of graphical detail. Low settings are only advisable for competitive play or when maximum frame rates are prioritized over visuals.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a significant performance drop as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting component in this combo. At High settings, the average FPS scales from 83.6 at 1920x1080 to 52.2 at 2560x1440, a 37.6% reduction, and then to 32.3 at 3840x2160, an additional 38.1% drop from 1440p. This consistent decline suggests the GTX 1070's rendering pipeline becomes increasingly saturated at higher pixel counts.

The scaling pattern is even more pronounced at Ultra settings. The transition from 1080p (66 FPS) to 1440p (41.3 FPS) represents a 37.4% loss, while the move from 1440p to 4K (21.7 FPS) is a 47.5% reduction. The total FPS loss from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is 67.1%, a substantial degradation that underscores the GPU's inability to handle 4K rendering with high graphical fidelity.

Interestingly, the Low settings preset shows a different scaling behavior. At 1080p, Low achieves 129.9 FPS, which drops to 88 FPS at 1440p (32.2% reduction) and then to 46.8 FPS at 4K (46.8% reduction). The relative stability between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings suggests that the CPU can maintain higher frame rates when the GPU's workload is reduced. However, at 4K, even Low settings overwhelm the GTX 1070, indicating that the GPU's raw fill rate and memory bandwidth are insufficient for 4K rendering regardless of settings.

The benchmark results point to the GTX 1070 as the bottleneck. The CPU, with a 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and strong single-thread scores (4643 in Cinebench R23), is more than capable of feeding frames at lower resolutions. The GPU's 256.3 GB/s memory bandwidth and 6.463 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are simply not adequate for 4K workloads in Fivem, as evidenced by the steep FPS declines at 3840x2160.

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ranks 1503rd out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 16.1% of tested configurations. This low ranking reflects the GPU's age and performance class relative to more modern combinations. The GTX 1070 has a 51st percentile ranking among all GPUs, indicating it sits near the median of tested graphics cards, but Fivem's demanding multiplayer environments appear to penalize this older architecture.

The CPU side of the combo is far more competitive. The Core i5-14600KF has a 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and an average benchmark score of 49367, which puts it within 0.4% of the Intel Core i5-14600K (49166) and 0.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (49062). This suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios, and the combo's low overall rank is primarily attributable to the GPU's performance ceiling.

When compared to other combos in the database, this pairing represents a significant CPU-GPU imbalance. The i5-14600KF's strong multi-threaded performance (32889 in Cinebench R23 multicore) far exceeds what the GTX 1070 can utilize in Fivem, resulting in a configuration where the GPU consistently bottlenecks frame production. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (129.9 FPS) indicates the CPU can drive high frame rates, but the GPU cannot sustain them at higher settings or resolutions. This ranking suggests that users would see substantial improvements by upgrading the GPU while retaining the existing CPU, as the processor has headroom to support a more powerful graphics card.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, based on the GP104 chip using Pascal architecture, has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit bus and 256.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1506 MHz with a boost clock of 1683 MHz, and it delivers 6.463 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance. The GPU's 51st percentile ranking among all GPUs and average benchmark score of 12331 place it in the middle of the performance spectrum, with its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro K4200, scoring 12241 (0.7% lower).

In Fivem, the GTX 1070's memory configuration appears to be a critical factor. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for most settings at 1080p and 1440p, but the 256.3 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (21.7 FPS) is only 32.9% of the 1080p Ultra result (66 FPS), a severe drop that correlates with the GPU's inability to feed enough data to the rendering pipeline at 4K pixel counts.

The GPU's compute capability also plays a role. With 1920 shading units and 64 ROPs, the GTX 1070 has the raw processing power for 1080p gaming but struggles with the additional pixel fill rate required at 1440p and 4K. The pixel rate of 107.7 GPixel/s and texture rate of 202.0 GTexel/s are modest by modern standards, explaining why the FPS declines so sharply as resolution increases. The boost clock of 1683 MHz, while respectable for a Pascal card, cannot compensate for the architecture's age relative to newer GPUs.

The GPU's DirectX 12 support (12_1) and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure it can run Fivem's rendering paths, but the measured scores in DirectX 12 (48 in Passmark) and DirectX 11 (100 in Passmark) indicate that the card's performance in modern API workloads is limited. This is evident in the benchmark results, where even the Low preset at 4K (46.8 FPS) fails to reach playable frame rates, confirming that the GTX 1070's 8 GB memory and 256-bit bus are insufficient for 4K gaming in this title.
