Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title that stresses both CPU and GPU, and the Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER produces a specific performance profile across resolutions. The data shows a system that is capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p but becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS results to give a clear picture of what this combo can deliver.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS demonstrates a classic scaling curve, with the most significant performance drop occurring between 1440p and 4K. At 1080p with High settings, the combo delivers an average of 98.4 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 65.5 FPS, a substantial reduction, and then 4K High falls to 35.4 FPS. The pattern is consistent across all settings: the gap between 1080p and 1440p is large, but the drop from 1440p to 4K is even more severe, indicating that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

At Low settings, the scaling is revealing. The combo achieves 156.6 FPS at 1080p, 103 FPS at 1440p, and 55.9 FPS at 4K. The fact that 1080p Low nearly doubles the 4K High result suggests that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are being saturated at 4K. The RTX 2060 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for 1080p and 1440p but becomes a bottleneck at 3840x2160. The 4K Ultra average of 28 FPS confirms that this resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay with this GPU.

The scaling pattern indicates that the CPU, a 20-core, 28-thread Raptor Lake part with a 5.40 GHz boost clock, is not the primary constraint in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the 156.6 FPS result shows the CPU can feed the GPU effectively. However, the 20-core design with a 2.10 GHz base clock is likely keeping minimum frame rates stable in crowded multiplayer areas, even if the average FPS is dictated by the GPU. The data suggests that users should target 1080p or 1440p for a balanced experience, as 4K will consistently push the GPU beyond its comfort zone.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy for settings adjustments. At 1080p, the Ultra preset yields 79.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. Dropping to High raises the average to 98.4 FPS, a meaningful improvement that keeps the game smooth on most displays. The Medium preset at 126.7 FPS is the sweet spot for high refresh rate monitors, while Low at 156.6 FPS is best for maximum frame rates, though it will compromise visual quality.

For 1440p, the High preset at 65.5 FPS is the most balanced choice, offering a good mix of visual fidelity and playability. The Medium preset at 84.8 FPS is a strong alternative if you prefer smoother motion over graphical detail. Ultra at 52 FPS is borderline, and Low at 103 FPS is the only way to get a truly high refresh rate experience at this resolution. The data indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is well-suited to 1440p Medium or High, but pushing beyond that requires accepting lower frame rates.

At 4K, none of the presets deliver a consistently smooth experience. High at 35.4 FPS and Medium at 44.1 FPS are below the 60 FPS threshold, and Low at 55.9 FPS is the only option that approaches playability. Ultra at 28 FPS is effectively a slideshow. The recommendation is clear: stick to 1080p or 1440p. If 4K is a requirement, the Low preset is the only measured configuration that yields an average above 50 FPS, and even that will struggle in busy scenes.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture. It has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 33 MB shared L3 cache. In Cinebench R23, it scores 35443 multi-core and 5003 single-core, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, scores 54450, which is 0.6% higher, making the i7-14700F statistically comparable in raw compute performance.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, physics, and the simulation of other players. The high boost clock of 5.40 GHz is crucial for single-threaded performance, which this game relies on heavily. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 156.6 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of driving high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. The 20 cores and 28 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks and the heavy multi-threaded workloads that can occur in multiplayer sessions with many players.

The benchmark results confirm that this processor is not holding back the RTX 2060 SUPER in most scenarios. The Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 14886 and Geekbench multi-core score of 16571 are strong, but the real-world impact in Fivem is seen in the consistency of frame delivery. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and dual-channel memory support for DDR4 and DDR5 are secondary factors, but the architecture’s efficiency ensures that the GPU is the primary limiting component at 1440p and 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the i7-14700F and RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1329 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which reflects the GPU’s age and performance tier. The RTX 2060 SUPER is an end-of-life product, and its percentile vs all GPUs is 63, indicating it is better than a majority of cards but far from the top.

The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU’s performance. The CPU is a top-tier part, but the combo’s overall capability is limited by the RTX 2060 SUPER’s 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 8 GB of VRAM. In a game like Fivem, which can be demanding on both components, this pairing results in a system that is great for 1080p but struggles at 4K. The rank of 1329 suggests that there are many other combos that offer better performance, but it also means this setup is far from the bottom.

The deltaPct values for the GPU’s nearest rivals are tight: the RTX 2070 is 0.5% higher in average benchmark score, and the GTX TITAN is 0.3% higher. This indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is very close in performance to its immediate competitors, and the ranking in Fivem will be more about driver optimization and game-specific scaling than raw specs. The CPU’s rivals, like the Ryzen 9 9900X, are within 1% of its average benchmark score, so the CPU is not a differentiator in this ranking.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip. It has a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, with 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs. The memory configuration is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a solid mid-range card from its generation, but it is now end-of-life.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role is to handle rendering, shadows, textures, and post-processing effects. The measured FPS data shows that the card is capable of high frame rates at 1080p, with the Low preset hitting 156.6 FPS. However, the scaling to 1440p and 4K exposes its limitations. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 52 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 28 FPS. This is a direct result of the GPU’s computational throughput and memory bandwidth being insufficient for the increased pixel count.

The GPU’s benchmark scores are modest compared to modern cards. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2011, and its Passmark G3D score is 16462. The RTX 2060 SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is good for compatibility, but its 12 nm process node and transistor count of 10,800 million mean it is less efficient than newer architectures. For Fivem, the GPU is the primary bottleneck at resolutions above 1080p, and users should expect to lower settings to maintain playable frame rates at 1440p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong performance across all presets. The Low preset averages 156.6 FPS, Medium 126.7 FPS, High 98.4 FPS, and Ultra 79.2 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is 29.9 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 19.2 FPS, showing that the GPU can handle high settings without a massive drop. For competitive play, Low or Medium is recommended, while High offers a good balance for visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the results are lower but still playable. Low averages 103 FPS, Medium 84.8 FPS, High 65.5 FPS, and Ultra 52 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 35% across most presets, which is expected given the increased pixel count. The Medium preset at 84.8 FPS is the best option for a smooth experience, while High at 65.5 FPS is acceptable for those who prioritize visuals.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly overmatched. Low averages 55.9 FPS, Medium 44.1 FPS, High 35.4 FPS, and Ultra 28 FPS. None of these are ideal for a smooth gaming experience, and the 4K Ultra result is below the 30 FPS threshold for playability. The data suggests that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combo, and users should stick to 1440p or lower. The 8 GB VRAM is also a concern at 4K, as textures can exceed that capacity, leading to potential stuttering that is not reflected in the average FPS numbers.
