Fivem

The Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination delivers a dominant performance profile in Fivem, ranking in the 100th position out of 1792 tested combos. The data indicates a system that is heavily GPU-limited at 4K resolution but shifts toward CPU-bound behavior at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 300 FPS. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS results to identify the optimal settings and the role each component plays.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data reveals a classic resolution scaling curve, but with an unusually steep drop-off that highlights the RTX 4080 SUPER's raw power. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 331.8 FPS, which drops to 218.8 FPS at 1440p and further to 117.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 64.5% reduction in FPS from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that while the GPU is immensely capable, the pixel throughput demand at 4K still imposes a significant load.

The scaling pattern changes with settings. At Ultra settings, the 1080p score is 160.9 FPS, dropping to 109 FPS at 1440p and 59.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is 62.8%, which is remarkably similar to the Low setting drop. This consistency suggests that the limiting factor shifts from the CPU at low resolutions to the GPU at higher resolutions, but the RTX 4080 SUPER maintains a proportional performance curve across all settings.

The most telling data point is the 4K-to-1080p ratio at High settings: 76.7 FPS versus 211 FPS. This 2.75x difference indicates that at 4K, the system is almost entirely GPU-bound, as the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU. Conversely, at 1080p, the 331.8 FPS Low result suggests the CPU is nearing its practical ceiling, as the i5-14600KF's 14 cores and 20 threads begin to constrain the frame rate. The gap between 1440p and 4K at Medium settings (171.5 vs 93.8 FPS) further supports this interpretation, showing a 45.3% reduction that aligns with the pixel count increase.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant force in this configuration, particularly at 4K resolution. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for Fivem's large multiplayer environments and texture streaming. The GPU's base clock of 2295 MHz and boost clock of 2550 MHz, combined with 10240 shading units, delivers a measured 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

This hardware translates directly into the measured frame rates. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages 59.9 FPS, which is playable but not ideal. However, dropping to 4K High yields 76.7 FPS, and 4K Medium produces 93.8 FPS. The GPU's 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53610, places it just 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and 2.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in synthetic benchmarks. In Fivem specifically, the 4K results show that the RTX 4080 SUPER is operating near its limits at Ultra settings, as the 59.9 FPS result is the lowest across all tested configurations.

The VRAM capacity proves sufficient even at 4K Ultra, as the data shows no anomalous dips or stutters that would suggest memory pressure. The GPU's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but not heavily utilized in Fivem, as the game's rendering workload is primarily rasterization-based. The 320 TMUs and 112 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s, which directly supports the high frame rates observed at 1440p, where the combo achieves 138.3 FPS at High settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Fivem with this combo if targeting 144 Hz?

Q: How does the combo rank overall in Fivem?

A: It ranks 100th out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the top 5.6% of all configurations tested for this game.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data clearly identifies the optimal settings for different priorities. For maximum frame rate at 1080p, Low settings deliver 331.8 FPS, but this sacrifices visual quality. The sweet spot for competitive play at 1440p is Medium settings, which produce 171.5 FPS—a 24% improvement over High settings (138.3 FPS) while remaining well above 144 Hz.

At 4K, the choice is more consequential. Ultra settings drop to 59.9 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS standard and likely to feel less smooth. High settings at 76.7 FPS provide a playable experience, but Medium settings at 93.8 FPS offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. The data suggests that High settings at 4K are the recommended default for this combo, as they maintain a 76.7 FPS average while preserving most visual features.

For those prioritizing visual quality at 1080p, Ultra settings at 160.9 FPS still provide an excellent experience, but the jump from High (211 FPS) to Ultra represents a 23.7% performance penalty for marginal visual gains. The most efficient configuration across all resolutions is Medium settings, which consistently delivers frame rates that are 30-50% higher than Ultra while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-14600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks 100th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 5.6% of all configurations. This high ranking is driven by the RTX 4080 SUPER's 88th percentile GPU score and the i5-14600KF's 93rd percentile CPU score, which combine to create a balanced system for this game.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its performance. The i5-14600KF scores 49367 on average, which is 0.4% higher than the Intel Core i5-14600K (49166) and 0.6% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (49062). It trails the AMD EPYC 4345P by 0.5% (49595) and leads the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H by 1.4% (48698). These small deltas indicate that the CPU is not a differentiating factor in this combo's ranking.

The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The RTX 4080 SUPER's average score of 53610 is 0.2% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (53489) and 0.4% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (53414). It leads the AMD Radeon RX 7700S by 2.1% (52505) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti by 2.9% (52086). The combination of top-tier CPU and GPU performance positions this combo firmly in the upper echelon of Fivem configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 331.8 FPS at Low, 258.7 FPS at Medium, 211 FPS at High, and 160.9 FPS at Ultra. At 2560x1440, the scores are 218.8 FPS at Low, 171.5 FPS at Medium, 138.3 FPS at High, and 109 FPS at Ultra. At 3840x2160, the results are 117.9 FPS at Low, 93.8 FPS at Medium, 76.7 FPS at High, and 59.9 FPS at Ultra.

These numbers reveal a consistent pattern: each settings tier reduces performance by approximately 20-25%, and each resolution increase reduces performance by approximately 35-45%. The 4K Ultra result of 59.9 FPS is the only configuration below 60 FPS, while the 1080p Low result of 331.8 FPS is the only configuration above 300 FPS. The 1440p results are particularly strong, with all settings above 100 FPS, making this resolution the best balance for high-refresh-rate displays.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600KF plays a crucial supporting role in this combo, particularly at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. Its 14 cores and 20 threads, based on the Raptor Lake architecture, provide a strong foundation for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The CPU's base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz, combined with 24 MB of shared L3 cache, enable rapid processing of game logic and physics.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate its capability. It scores 32889 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 4643 in single-core, with a Geekbench multicore score of 15636 and single-core score of 2778. The Passmark multithread score of 38697 and single-thread score of 4273 further confirm its strength. The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49367, places it just 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600K and 0.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes apparent at 1080p. The jump from 1440p High (138.3 FPS) to 1080p High (211 FPS) represents a 52.6% increase, which is larger than the 44.4% increase expected from resolution scaling alone. This indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is beginning to limit the frame rate, as the GPU has excess capacity. The 1080p Low result of 331.8 FPS suggests the CPU is approaching its practical ceiling for this game, as no further settings reductions produce higher frame rates. The CPU's 125W TDP and unlocked multiplier allow for overclocking, but the stock performance is already sufficient to feed the RTX 4080 SUPER at all resolutions except the most demanding 4K Ultra scenarios.
