Fivem

The Fivem benchmark data for the Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution but shows a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as settings climb. At 1080p, the combo produces exceptionally high frame rates, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant limiting factor. The measured results across twelve distinct resolution and settings combinations provide a detailed look at how this pairing handles the multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces a dramatic reduction in average frame rates, with the magnitude of the drop heavily influenced by the graphics preset. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 355.2 at 1920x1080 to 125.4 at 3840x2160, representing a substantial decrease of approximately 65%. This steep decline indicates that even at the lowest quality preset, the GPU is being pushed significantly harder as pixel count quadruples.

Moving to Medium settings, the scaling pattern shows 276 FPS at 1080p dropping to 184.6 FPS at 1440p, then further to 101 FPS at 4K. The incremental reductions here follow a more gradual curve, suggesting the system is balancing load between CPU and GPU more evenly at this middle tier. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 218.6 at 1080p to 147.3 at 1440p and finally to 79.3 at 4K, with each resolution step costing roughly 30-45% of the previous frame rate.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest absolute decline, starting at 170 FPS in 1080p, falling to 110.4 FPS at 1440p, and bottoming out at 64.1 FPS in 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured value across the entire dataset, and the gap between 1440p and 4K at this preset is particularly pronounced. This pattern strongly suggests that at 4K with Ultra settings, the RTX 5080's rendering workload becomes the primary constraint, whereas at lower resolutions the i5-14600KF can more readily feed frames to the GPU.

The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting component in many scenes, given the extremely high frame rates that approach what the processor's single-threaded capabilities can sustain. The 355.2 FPS Low result at 1080p versus the 125.4 FPS Low result at 4K highlights how resolution scaling taxes the GPU disproportionately, confirming that this combo delivers its most balanced performance at 1440p where both components contribute meaningfully.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the most compelling balance between visual fidelity and performance for this combo. The 184.6 FPS average at this setting provides ample headroom above typical display refresh rates while still delivering a noticeable quality improvement over Low. At 1080p, the High preset at 218.6 FPS is similarly well-positioned, offering strong visual quality without sacrificing the high frame rates that competitive multiplayer scenarios may demand.

For users prioritizing absolute smoothness, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 355.2 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. However, the jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs roughly 79 FPS while providing better visual clarity, which may not be worth the trade-off for esports-focused players. At 4K, the Medium preset at 101 FPS represents the most reasonable choice, as the High preset drops to 79.3 FPS and Ultra falls to 64.1 FPS, both of which may introduce perceptible stutter on standard 60Hz displays.

The data suggests that Ultra settings are generally not advisable for this game with this hardware, as the performance penalty is substantial across all resolutions. At 1440p Ultra, the 110.4 FPS result is still playable, but the 4K Ultra figure of 64.1 FPS hovers near the edge of smooth gameplay. The High preset at 1440p (147.3 FPS) appears to be the sweet spot for users with 144Hz monitors, while the Medium preset at 4K (101 FPS) is the most sensible option for 4K display owners who want to stay above the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values span from 170 at Ultra to 355.2 at Low. The Medium preset achieves 276 FPS, while High lands at 218.6 FPS. This resolution shows the widest spread between settings, with Ultra being roughly half the speed of Low, indicating that the GPU is not the primary bottleneck at 1080p and the CPU's capabilities define the upper boundary.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results compress somewhat. Low settings produce 232.2 FPS, Medium reaches 184.6 FPS, High delivers 147.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 110.4 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 47.6 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 36.9 FPS, showing a fairly linear scaling pattern as quality increases. The 1440p numbers suggest the system is transitioning toward a more balanced CPU-GPU workload.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS figures are 125.4 for Low, 101 for Medium, 79.3 for High, and 64.1 for Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 61.3 FPS, which is proportionally smaller than at 1080p but represents a significant absolute reduction. The 4K results clearly indicate that the RTX 5080's rendering throughput is the limiting factor, as even the Low preset cannot exceed 125.4 FPS at this resolution, a figure that is dramatically lower than the 1080p Low result.
