Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core i7-14700F + AMD Radeon RX 580

This combination pairs a high-end 14th-generation Intel processor with an aging AMD graphics card from the Polaris era, producing results that are heavily skewed by GPU limitations across all tested resolutions and settings in Fivem. The Intel Core i7-14700F, with its 20 cores and 28 threads boosting to 5.40 GHz, provides ample computational headroom, but the AMD Radeon RX 580, based on the 14 nm GCN 4.0 architecture with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory, becomes the clear bottleneck in nearly every scenario measured.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable but steep decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 83.2 FPS, which drops to 55.2 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and further to 33.9 FPS at 4K (a 59% reduction from the 1080p baseline). This pattern indicates that the RX 580's pixel throughput—rated at 42.88 GPixel/s—is the limiting factor, as the CPU's 33 MB of shared L3 cache and high boost clock are more than sufficient for Fivem's multiplayer workloads at lower resolutions.

The scaling from Medium to High settings at each resolution reinforces this GPU-bound conclusion. At 1080p, Medium delivers 65.7 FPS while High drops to 53.0 FPS, a 19% penalty. At 1440p, the same settings gap shows 43.7 FPS versus 34.0 FPS, a 22% decline. At 4K, Medium produces 23.0 FPS and High only 20.5 FPS, a narrower 11% gap that suggests the GPU is already saturated and cannot respond proportionally to further quality increases. The Ultra preset tells an even more dramatic story: 41.1 FPS at 1080p, 30.1 FPS at 1440p, and just 14.2 FPS at 4K—the latter being nearly unplayable for any interactive session.

The data shows that the RX 580's memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s, coupled with its 256-bit bus and 8 Gbps effective memory speed, becomes increasingly inadequate as pixel count rises. At 4K Ultra, the 14.2 FPS result is barely a third of the 1080p Low figure, indicating that the GPU's 6.175 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is overwhelmed by the rendering demands of Fivem at high resolutions. The CPU's contribution is minimal here; even a weaker processor would likely produce similar frame rates at 4K, as the graphics card is the sole constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader context of tested hardware combinations for Fivem, this pairing ranks 1659 out of 1792 combos, placing it in the bottom 7% of all tested systems. This is a surprisingly low position given the CPU's capabilities, but it reflects the reality that the RX 580 drags down the overall experience. The i7-14700F alone sits in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54097, but the GPU's 53rd percentile standing (average score 13559) pulls the combined result down substantially.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks—the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X at 54450 (0.6% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D at 54681 (1.1% ahead), and the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 at 53469 (1.2% behind)—show that the i7-14700F is competitive at the processor level. However, this advantage is nullified in Fivem because the RX 580's nearest GPU rivals, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 at 13564 (0% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 at 13549 (0.1% delta), represent performance tiers that cannot drive high frame rates in modern multiplayer scenarios.

The rank of 1659 out of 1792 suggests that most users would find this combination frustrating for Fivem, particularly at higher settings and resolutions. The data indicates that the combo's performance is dominated by the GPU's limitations, and any ranking improvement would require a more capable graphics card. The 1080p Low result of 83.2 FPS is the only measured scenario that approaches smooth gameplay, while all 4K settings fall below 34 FPS.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 plays the decisive role in this combo's Fivem performance, and its specifications explain the measured outcomes. The GPU features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, operating at a base clock of 1257 MHz and a boost clock of 1340 MHz. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These figures place the card in the mid-range of the GPU hierarchy from its 2017 release, but they are insufficient for demanding titles like Fivem at high resolutions.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is adequate for Fivem's typical textures, but the memory speed and bandwidth are not. At 4K Ultra, the card's 32 ROPs and 42.88 GPixel/s pixel rate become the primary constraint, resulting in 14.2 FPS. The texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s also limits how quickly the GPU can fill detailed scenes, contributing to the steep drop from Low to Ultra settings at every resolution. The 14 nm process node and 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die represent older technology that cannot compete with modern GPUs in raw throughput.

The GPU's DirectX 12 (12_0) support and Vulkan 1.3 compatibility are sufficient for Fivem, but its 6.175 TFLOPS FP32 performance is modest by current standards. The measured FPS data shows that even at 1080p Low, the card produces only 83.2 FPS, which is below what many gamers would consider optimal for a competitive multiplayer environment. The GPU's 53rd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with nearest rivals including the GTX 950 and Radeon Pro 455, confirms its mid-tier status. The 185 W TDP and 450 W suggested PSU reflect its power draw, but the performance ceiling is the real issue here.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and setting for this combo in Fivem?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 with Low settings produces the highest average FPS at 83.2. Medium at 1080p achieves 65.7 FPS, and High drops to 53.0 FPS. Any 4K setting yields results below 34 FPS, making 1080p the only viable resolution for smoother gameplay.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700F has an average benchmark score of 54097, placing it 0.6% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (54450), 1.1% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D (54681), and 1.2% ahead of the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (53469). Its percentile rank among all CPUs is 94.

Q: Is the 8 GB VRAM sufficient for Fivem at 4K?

A: While the 8 GB GDDR5 memory capacity is not exceeded by typical Fivem usage, the 256.0 GB/s bandwidth and 256-bit bus are inadequate for 4K performance. The measured 4K Ultra average of 14.2 FPS indicates that memory throughput, not capacity, is the limiting factor.

Q: What is the GPU's performance ranking relative to other graphics cards?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 580 ranks in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 13559. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (13564, 0% delta) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 (13549, 0.1% delta).

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested hardware combinations in Fivem?

A: This combo ranks 1659 out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom 7% of all systems. This low rank is attributable to the GPU's limitations, as the CPU alone would rank much higher.

Q: What clock speeds does the GPU operate at?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 580 has a base clock of 1257 MHz and a boost clock of 1340 MHz, with memory running at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). These clocks are fixed in the hardware and cannot be adjusted through software settings in the benchmark data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 83.2 FPS, Medium achieves 65.7 FPS, High drops to 53.0 FPS, and Ultra falls to 41.1 FPS. These figures show a clear progression where each settings tier costs approximately 12-18 FPS, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 42.1 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance degrades noticeably. Low settings average 55.2 FPS, Medium delivers 43.7 FPS, High reaches 34.0 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 30.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 25.1 FPS, a narrower spread than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more constrained as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the results are consistently low across all settings. Low averages 33.9 FPS, Medium drops to 23.0 FPS, High manages only 20.5 FPS, and Ultra produces a marginal 14.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is just 19.7 FPS, showing that even the lowest settings cannot overcome the GPU's resolution limitations. These measured values represent the only data available for this combo, with no minimum or maximum frame rates recorded for any configuration.
