Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pairing in Fivem presents a clear case of a modern, high-core-count processor supporting an older, mid-range graphics card. The CPU, part of the Core 14th Gen series, brings 14 cores and 20 threads to the table, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. This configuration, built on the Raptor Lake architecture, is a desktop segment part designed for high throughput. In Fivem, a multiplayer game that often involves player-driven scripts and complex world interactions, this processor's substantial thread count helps ensure that game logic and AI calculations are not the bottleneck. The data underscores that this CPU is not holding the system back, as its benchmark scores are strong, but the GPU will ultimately define the frame rate ceiling in this title.

The RTX 2070 SUPER, from the GeForce 20-series, is an end-of-life product with a launch MSRP of 499 USD. Its Turing architecture, built on a 12 nm process, provides 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1605 MHz, boosting up to 1770 MHz. With 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs, this card is capable of solid 1080p and 1440p performance, but its 8 GB VRAM buffer and raw compute power become limiting factors at higher resolutions. The benchmark results for this GPU, such as a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1651 and a Passmark G3D score of 18169, place it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, indicating it is a competent mid-range performer from its generation but not a top-tier one.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern across resolutions, with the GPU becoming the primary limiting factor as pixel count increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system produces an average of 107.6 FPS, which is a smooth experience for multiplayer gameplay. Dropping the resolution to 2560x1440 reduces that average to 71.3 FPS, a 34% decrease. Moving to 3840x2160, the average FPS falls to 37.7, which is a significant drop and suggests the GPU is struggling to fill the additional pixels. This trend is consistent across all quality settings, showing that the RTX 2070 SUPER's compute and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints at higher resolutions, not the CPU.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep. For instance, at Medium settings, the system goes from 91.3 FPS at 2560x1440 down to 50.3 FPS at 3840x2160, a 45% reduction. This indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s and its 8 GB VRAM capacity are being saturated. The game's engine, which can be demanding on memory, likely starts to rely on slower memory paging at 4K, causing the substantial performance penalty. The data suggests that the i5-14600KF has ample headroom to feed the GPU, as the FPS drops are directly proportional to the increase in pixel count, a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database for Fivem, this combination of the Intel Core i5-14600KF and RTX 2070 SUPER ranks at 1105 out of 1792 tested combos. This places it in the lower-middle tier of all tested system configurations for this game. The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU's age and performance level. The CPU itself is a strong performer, with a percentile rank of 93 vs all CPUs, but its raw power is not fully utilized in this pairing. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with a percentile rank of 65 vs all GPUs, is the limiting factor in this setup. The benchmark results show that the GPU's average score of 22206 is only 2.5% behind the AMD Radeon RX 5700, a direct contemporary, but it is also 2.3% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile, which is a more modern part.

The data indicates that while the CPU is a top-tier component, the system's overall ranking is dragged down by the GPU's performance ceiling. The combo's position at 61.7% of the way up the ranking list (1105 out of 1792) suggests that many other tested systems have either a more balanced or more powerful graphics solution. For a user with this CPU, the data implies that upgrading the GPU would yield a significant jump in the combo ranking, as the processor has the capability to support a much faster graphics card. The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600K, has an average score just 0.4% lower, reinforcing the idea that the CPU performance is not the issue here.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance is found at 1920x1080 with High settings, yielding an average of 107.6 FPS. This provides a frame rate that is well above the typical 60 FPS target for smooth multiplayer gameplay, while still offering a good level of graphical detail. For users with a 2560x1440 monitor, the High preset also remains viable, delivering an average of 71.3 FPS, which is acceptable for most players. Pushing to the Ultra preset at 1440p drops the average to 58.3 FPS, which is borderline for competitive play but may be acceptable for a more cinematic experience.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more challenging. The High preset produces only 37.7 FPS, which is too low for a smooth experience. The Low preset at 4K, with an average of 63.6 FPS, is the only playable option at that resolution, but it sacrifices significant visual quality. The data suggests that this combo is not well-suited for 4K gaming in Fivem, and users should stick to 1080p or 1440p for a consistent experience. The Medium preset at 1080p offers a large jump to 135.5 FPS and could be a good choice for those with high refresh rate monitors, but High at 1080p appears to be the sweet spot, offering a solid balance of frame rate and visual fidelity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at the system's performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system scales from an average of 174.6 FPS on Low settings to 135.5 FPS on Medium, 107.6 FPS on High, and finally 86.4 FPS on Ultra. This shows a predictable performance curve, with the Ultra preset costing roughly 50% of the frame rate compared to the Low preset. The 1080p results are consistently playable across all settings, with even the most demanding preset staying above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop, but the relative scaling remains consistent. The Low preset yields 113.4 FPS, which is still very high. Medium produces 91.3 FPS, High produces 71.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 58.3 FPS. The 1440p results show that the GPU is starting to feel the pressure, but the system remains capable of delivering a good experience on most settings. At 3840x2160, however, the performance falls off a cliff. The Low preset averages 63.6 FPS, Medium drops to 50.3 FPS, High to 37.7 FPS, and Ultra to 28.4 FPS. The 4K data clearly shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is not powerful enough for high-resolution gaming in this title, and users should avoid this resolution for a smooth experience.
