Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core i7-14700F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a compelling Fivem experience, with measured frame rates that are heavily influenced by both resolution and settings. The data shows a system that can push well beyond 200 FPS at 1080p on lower presets but drops to sub-60 territory at 4K Ultra, revealing a clear performance scaling pattern. This combination ranks 1048th out of 3707 tested combos in this game, placing it in the upper echelon of configurations. The following analysis breaks down how this hardware behaves across resolutions, settings, and workloads, interpreting what the measured numbers indicate about the underlying component balance.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a dramatic scaling curve as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 250 FPS, which drops to 164 FPS at 1440p Low (a 34.4% reduction) and further to 91 FPS at 4K Low (a 63.6% reduction from 1080p). This pattern of substantial frame rate loss with each resolution step suggests that the GPU becomes increasingly the limiting factor as pixel count rises, while at lower resolutions the CPU has more headroom to push frames.

Looking at the High preset, the scaling is similarly pronounced: 157 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The 1440p to 4K transition on High shows a 44.2% drop, which is steeper than the 33.8% drop from 1080p to 1440p. This nonlinear degradation points to the RTX 3080's 10 GB GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth being increasingly taxed at higher resolutions, where pixel throughput demands grow geometrically.

At Medium settings, the measured rows include min and max FPS data, providing additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average is 197 FPS with a min of 167 and max of 226, indicating a relatively tight frame time distribution. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 130 FPS with min 110 and max 149, showing similar consistency. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 72 FPS with min 61 and max 83, which represents a 44.6% drop from 1440p Medium — again highlighting the GPU-bound nature of 4K rendering.

The Ultra preset tells the most telling story about the limiting component. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 122 FPS, which is still highly playable. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 80 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it plummets to 45 FPS. The 4K Ultra result being below 60 FPS strongly indicates that the RTX 3080, while powerful, reaches its limits with Fivem's most demanding settings at that resolution. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU's strong single-thread performance (4958 in Cinebench R23 single-core) keeps the system from being CPU-limited, but at 4K, the GPU's raw throughput becomes the bottleneck.

The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution further confirms this. At 1080p, the gap between Low (250 FPS) and Ultra (122 FPS) is 128 FPS, a 51.2% reduction. At 1440p, the gap narrows to 84 FPS (164 to 80), and at 4K, it narrows to 46 FPS (91 to 45). This convergence at higher resolutions is classic GPU-bound behavior — as resolution increases, the relative impact of graphical settings diminishes because the GPU is already saturated with pixel work.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset emerges as the most balanced choice across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 197 FPS with a min of 167, providing ample headroom above typical 144 Hz refresh rates while maintaining consistent frame delivery. At 1440p Medium, the 130 FPS average with a 110 FPS minimum still comfortably exceeds 100 FPS thresholds, making it an excellent choice for high-refresh 1440p monitors. At 4K Medium, the 72 FPS average with a 61 FPS minimum approaches the 60 FPS playability threshold, though the minimum dips close to that line.

The High preset offers a meaningful visual upgrade over Medium, but the FPS cost is substantial. At 1080p High, the system achieves 157 FPS, which is 20.3% lower than Medium's 197 FPS. At 1440p High, the 104 FPS average is 20% below Medium's 130 FPS. At 4K High, the 58 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it less ideal for smooth gameplay. The data suggests that High is viable at 1080p and 1440p but not at 4K for those seeking consistent 60+ FPS.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset delivers exceptional performance: 250 FPS at 1080p, 164 FPS at 1440p, and 91 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is particularly notable, as it shows the system can maintain high frame rates even at the most demanding resolution when settings are minimized. However, the visual quality trade-off may not be worthwhile for most users, given that Medium provides a 21.2% FPS reduction at 1080p (250 to 197) but presumably significant visual improvements.

The Ultra preset is only recommended for 1080p and 1440p gaming where visual fidelity takes precedence. At 1080p Ultra, 122 FPS is still highly playable, and at 1440p Ultra, 80 FPS is acceptable for many titles. However, the 4K Ultra result of 45 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for fast-paced multiplayer gameplay in Fivem, where responsiveness is critical. The measured data indicates that Medium is the sweet spot — it offers a 68.9% FPS improvement over Ultra at 1080p (197 vs 122) while likely retaining most visual quality benefits.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-14700F brings substantial processing power to this configuration, with 20 cores and 28 threads operating between a 2.10 GHz base clock and a 5.40 GHz boost clock. This processor, built on Intel's 10 nm Raptor Lake architecture, demonstrates strong multi-threaded capabilities with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and a single-core score of 4958. The Geekbench results further corroborate this, showing 19620 multi-core and 2429 single-core scores.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto V, the CPU's role is multifaceted. The game logic, physics, and AI processing all rely on CPU performance, and the measured FPS at lower resolutions and settings highlights this dependency. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 250 FPS, which is likely approaching the CPU's frame generation limit for this workload. The fact that the 1080p Low result is dramatically higher than 4K Low (250 vs 91 FPS) indicates that the CPU has significant headroom that is only fully utilized when the GPU is not the bottleneck.

The Core i7-14700F's 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache contribute to its ability to handle the complex, multi-player scenarios common in Fivem, where many entities and scripts run simultaneously. The PassMark multi-thread score of 41317 and integer math score of 155808 suggest strong computational throughput, which is beneficial for the game's server-side and client-side processing demands.

The processor's 65 W TDP is notably low for a 20-core part, which speaks to the efficiency of the Raptor Lake refresh architecture. This efficiency allows for sustained boost clocks without excessive thermal throttling, which is important for maintaining consistent frame rates during extended gaming sessions. The single-thread performance, as evidenced by the 499 Cinebench R15 single-core score and 4257 PassMark single-thread score, ensures that Fivem's primary game thread, which often becomes a bottleneck in CPU-bound scenarios, has sufficient performance to keep up with the GPU at moderate resolutions.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the data shows it sits between the Intel Xeon 6505P (avg score 53701, -0.2% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (avg score 53288, 0.6% delta). This positioning indicates that the Core i7-14700F is competitive with high-end desktop and server parts, providing ample computational headroom for Fivem's demanding multi-threaded workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values across settings are as follows: Low delivers 250 FPS, Medium delivers 197 FPS (with min 167 and max 226), High delivers 157 FPS, and Ultra delivers 122 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 128 FPS, representing a 51.2% reduction. The Medium preset's min-max range of 59 FPS (167 to 226) indicates moderate frame time variance, which is acceptable for competitive play.

At 2560x1440, the system achieves 164 FPS on Low, 130 FPS on Medium (min 110, max 149), 104 FPS on High, and 80 FPS on Ultra. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p at each setting is notable: Low drops by 86 FPS (34.4%), Medium by 67 FPS (34.0%), High by 53 FPS (33.8%), and Ultra by 42 FPS (34.4%). This consistent percentage drop across settings indicates that resolution scaling is uniform, with the GPU bearing the additional load.

At 3840x2160, the measured results are 91 FPS on Low, 72 FPS on Medium (min 61, max 83), 58 FPS on High, and 45 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 1440p to 4K shows larger percentage drops: Low falls by 73 FPS (44.5%), Medium by 58 FPS (44.6%), High by 46 FPS (44.2%), and Ultra by 35 FPS (43.8%). The 4K Ultra result of 45 FPS is the only measured average below 60 FPS, highlighting the GPU's limitations at this extreme configuration.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min and max data across all resolutions, providing insight into frame consistency. At 1080p, the min-max range is 167-226 FPS (59 FPS spread); at 1440p, it is 110-149 FPS (39 FPS spread); at 4K, it is 61-83 FPS (22 FPS spread). The narrowing spread at higher resolutions suggests that as the GPU becomes more loaded, frame times become more consistent, which is a typical pattern for GPU-bound scenarios.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, built on the GA102 chip with Samsung's 8 nm process, provides the graphical muscle for this configuration. Its 10 GB of GDDR6X memory operates at 19 Gbps effective across a 320-bit bus, yielding 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 8704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output processors work together to deliver the measured performance, with a boost clock of 1710 MHz and a base clock of 1440 MHz.

The GPU's 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23172, places it in the mid-to-high range of graphics cards. In Fivem specifically, the RTX 3080 demonstrates its capability by maintaining playable frame rates at 4K Medium (72 FPS) and excellent performance at 1440p across all settings. The 10 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for this game's textures and geometry at 4K, though the 45 FPS Ultra result suggests that memory bandwidth or compute throughput becomes a limiting factor at the highest settings.

The GPU's compute capabilities, as measured by its 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 465.1 GTexel/s texture rate, contribute to its ability to handle Fivem's rendering workload. The 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI features, though Fivem's traditional rasterization pipeline likely relies more on the standard shader units. The PassMark G3D score of 25086 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4407 confirm the GPU's strong direct performance.

The RTX 3080's nearest rival comparisons show it performing within 0.4% of the NVIDIA P106-100 (23249) and AMD Radeon R9 M290X (23276) in average benchmark scores, though these comparisons are general and not Fivem-specific. The GPU's 320 W TDP and suggested 700 W PSU requirement indicate its power draw, which is relevant for system builders but does not directly affect the measured FPS results. The end-of-life production status and its position as the predecessor to the GeForce 40-series suggest that while this GPU is no longer current, its performance in Fivem remains competitive, as evidenced by the 1048th overall combo ranking.
