# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core i5-14600KF + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a strong Fivem experience across all tested resolutions, with the data showing a clear progression from ultra-high refresh rate capability at 1080p to solid 4K playability. The combo ranks 205th out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the top 11.4% of all systems evaluated for this multiplayer title. The CPU's 14 cores and 20 threads, combined with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, provide substantial headroom for Fivem's CPU-intensive multiplayer workloads, while the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth handle the game's asset streaming demands effectively.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rate data reveals a consistent pattern across all three resolutions: the Low preset delivers the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra in descending order. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces an average of 304.6 FPS, which represents the peak performance ceiling for this combination. However, this setting leaves significant visual quality on the table. The Medium preset at 240.9 FPS still provides an exceptionally smooth experience, and the High preset at 192.3 FPS remains well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the same hierarchy persists: Low achieves 202.3 FPS, Medium reaches 157.6 FPS, and High delivers 127.5 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 98.4 FPS, which is still playable but begins to approach the point where frame-time consistency matters more than raw throughput. For 4K gaming, the situation changes notably. The Ultra preset at 53.6 FPS is borderline, while High at 72.3 FPS offers a much more comfortable margin. The Medium preset at 85.3 FPS is arguably the sweet spot at 3840x2160, balancing visual fidelity with performance headroom.

The data suggests that High settings provide the best overall experience for most users. At 1080p, High delivers 192.3 FPS, which is 26% below Medium but still far beyond what most displays can show. At 1440p, High's 127.5 FPS represents excellent performance on 144Hz displays. At 4K, High's 72.3 FPS comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS baseline for smooth gameplay. The Ultra preset only makes sense at 1080p, where 152.5 FPS remains highly playable, but the visual gains over High appear insufficient to justify the 21% performance penalty at 1440p and the 26% penalty at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER operates with a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, built on the AD103 chip using TSMC's 5 nm process. The GPU's 8448 shading units and 264 texture mapping units provide substantial raw compute capability, with FP32 performance rated at 44.10 TFLOPS. The memory subsystem is particularly relevant for Fivem: 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus delivers 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which directly supports the game's open-world streaming and texture loading requirements.

The GPU's performance percentile of 86 among all GPUs indicates it sits comfortably in the upper tier of graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals show interesting competitive positioning: the NVIDIA CMP 50HX scores 0.7% higher in synthetic benchmarks, while the Intel Arc A550M trails by 2.1%. The RTX A2000 and RTX A1000 Mobile score 1.6% and 2.0% lower respectively. These synthetic deltas, however, translate into meaningful FPS differences in Fivem's real-world workload.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (4643 in Cinebench R23 single-core) can feed the GPU efficiently, allowing the 304.6 FPS Low preset result. At 4K, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the limiting factors. The pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s directly constrain how many pixels can be processed per frame at higher resolutions. The 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores are present but do not appear to meaningfully influence Fivem's rasterization-heavy workload.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the expected pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop varies significantly by preset. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p (304.6 FPS) to 1440p (202.3 FPS) represents a 33.6% performance reduction, and the further drop to 4K (109.7 FPS) is another 45.8% reduction. This steep decline at Low settings indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck once resolution increases, as the CPU has ample headroom to maintain high frame generation rates.

At High settings, the scaling is somewhat different. The 1080p result of 192.3 FPS drops to 127.5 FPS at 1440p (a 33.7% reduction) and then to 72.3 FPS at 4K (a 43.3% reduction). The consistency of these percentages across Low and High presets suggests that the GPU's workload scales predictably with pixel count. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic absolute drop: 152.5 FPS at 1080p falls to 98.4 FPS at 1440p (35.5% reduction) and then to 53.6 FPS at 4K (45.5% reduction).

The data indicates that the limiting component shifts depending on resolution and settings. At 1080p Low, the CPU's single-thread performance (468 in Cinebench R15 single-core, 2778 in Geekbench single-core) appears to be the ceiling, as 304.6 FPS approaches the practical frame generation limits for multiplayer game servers. As resolution increases, the GPU's raw throughput becomes the dominant factor. The 4K Ultra result of 53.6 FPS suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is insufficient for maxed-out 4K in this title, while the 4K High result of 72.3 FPS represents a more balanced operating point.
