Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile where both the CPU and GPU are heavily taxed. The Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a robust experience, but the benchmark data reveals distinct bottlenecks depending on resolution and settings. This analysis examines the measured FPS data to understand how this specific hardware pairing performs in this demanding multiplayer environment.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-14600KF is a 14-core processor with 20 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture. Its base clock runs at 3.50 GHz and can boost up to 5.30 GHz, providing substantial single-thread headroom that is critical for Fivem's simulation and scripting logic. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance, scoring 32,889 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4,643 in single-core. This places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with its average benchmark score of 49,367 being a mere 0.4% higher than the Intel Core i5-14600K and 0.6% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is pivotal because the game engine must manage physics, AI, and network synchronization for dozens of players simultaneously. The measured FPS data illustrates this load. At 1080p with Low settings, the CPU is likely the primary limiting factor, as the GPU can render frames quickly, but the processor must maintain the game's simulation rate. The 289.2 FPS average at this setting shows the i5-14600KF is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache aids in reducing latency for frequently accessed game data, which is beneficial in a multiplayer scenario where many entities are being tracked. The CPU's ability to sustain high single-core performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,643, directly translates to the responsiveness expected in fast-paced multiplayer interactions.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with Ultra settings for this combo?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo achieves an average of 141.3 FPS. This is a significant drop from the 289.2 FPS seen at Low settings, indicating that higher graphical fidelity imposes a substantial load on the GPU.

Q: How does the i5-14600KF compare to its closest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600K?

Q: What percentile of all GPUs does the RTX 4070 SUPER fall into?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42,576. It is closely matched with the NVIDIA RTX A6000, which has a deltaPct of -0.2%.

Q: How many combos does this CPU/GPU pairing rank above in Fivem?

A: This combo ranks 318th out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 17.7% of all tested hardware pairings for this specific game.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 289.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low reduces this to 190.7 FPS, and at 4K Low, it drops further to 105 FPS. This scaling is not linear; the drop from 1080p to 1440p is a 34% decrease, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is a 45% decrease. This indicates that the GPU is becoming increasingly saturated as the pixel count rises.

For the Ultra preset, the pattern is similar but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 141.3 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it falls to 93.2 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it reaches only 52.2 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings results in a 63% reduction in frame rate. This steep decline suggests that at higher resolutions, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of VRAM and 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth are being pushed to their limits. The data points to a system where the CPU has sufficient headroom to handle the game's logic at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the definitive limiting factor at 4K, particularly with higher graphical settings. The 4K Ultra result of 52.2 FPS is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay, highlighting the need for settings adjustments at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the database of tested hardware combinations for Fivem, this CPU and GPU pairing achieves a rank of 318 out of 1,792 total combos. This places it in the top 17.7% of all tested systems, indicating that it is a high-performing combination for this specific game. The rank reflects the balance between the i5-14600KF's strong multi-threaded capabilities and the RTX 4070 SUPER's robust rasterization performance.

The rank is a holistic measure that accounts for performance across all resolution and settings combinations. Given that the combo can achieve 289.2 FPS at 1080p Low and still maintain 65 FPS at 4K High, it demonstrates versatility across different play styles. The GPU's 84th percentile ranking and the CPU's 93rd percentile ranking both contribute to this high overall position. While the combo is not at the very top of the list, it outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, suggesting that users with this hardware can expect a smooth experience in Fivem at most resolution and quality configurations.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. Its base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz. The GPU contains 7,168 shading units and 80 ROPs, which are essential for pixel processing. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 29,995 in Passmark G3D and 19,2684 in Geekbench OpenCL, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes more prominent at higher resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, with the average FPS falling to 52.2. The 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for this game's textures, but the 192-bit memory bus and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth may limit performance when handling large draw distances and high-resolution textures. The boost clock of 2475 MHz ensures that the GPU can deliver its maximum compute potential when thermally and power limited, with a TDP of 220 W. The GPU's performance at 1080p High (180.7 FPS) shows it can handle high refresh rate gaming, but the 4K results indicate that users should consider lowering settings to maintain playable frame rates. The GPU's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is substantial, yet the data shows that Fivem's engine and multiplayer overhead can still challenge it at the highest resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. On Low settings, it averages 289.2 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play. Medium settings reduce this to 229.2 FPS, while High settings yield 180.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution produces 141.3 FPS, which is still smooth but shows a 51% reduction from Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. Low settings produce 190.7 FPS, Medium settings 149.3 FPS, and High settings 120.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 93.2 FPS, which is a solid result for a high-resolution experience.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is heavily taxed. Low settings average 105 FPS, Medium settings 80.9 FPS, and High settings 65 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 52.2 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for fast-paced multiplayer. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings shows a 63% performance loss, emphasizing the GPU's workload at this resolution. The data indicates that for 4K gaming, users should opt for High settings or below to maintain a consistent 60 FPS or higher. Overall, the combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, providing high frame rates across all settings, while 4K performance is acceptable but requires settings management for the best experience.
