Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a highly playable Fivem experience, with the data showing a clear shift from CPU-bound performance at 1080p to GPU-bound performance at 4K. The combo ranks 993rd out of 1792 tested configurations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. The measured FPS ranges from a fluid 122.9 FPS at 1440p Low to a demanding 35.3 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are the primary constraints at higher resolutions.

FAQ

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

A: The data shows 1440p as the optimal balance, with High settings delivering 76.6 FPS and Low settings reaching 122.9 FPS. This resolution avoids the steep performance drop seen at 4K while providing more visual fidelity than 1080p.

Q: Does the RTX 4060 outperform its closest competitor in GPU compute tests?

A: The RTX 4060’s PassMark GPU Compute score of 9,213 is lower than its average benchmark score of 23,181. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, averages 23,321, making the 4060 0.6% slower in overall average score but the compute-specific result is not directly comparable.

Q: What is the launch MSRP of the CPU and GPU in this combo?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700F has a launch MSRP of $359, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has a launch MSRP of 299 USD.

Q: How does the CPU’s single-thread performance compare to its multi-thread result?

A: The i7-14700F scores 5,003 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 35,443 in multi-core. This shows a strong 7.1x scaling from single to multi-thread, reflecting its 20 cores and 28 threads.

Q: At which settings does the FPS exceed 100 at 1080p?

A: At 1080p, the combo exceeds 100 FPS on Low (189.5 FPS), Medium (152.1 FPS), and High (117.2 FPS) settings. Only Ultra drops below 100 FPS, hitting 91.1 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the 5 nm Ada Lovelace architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz are modest for the 40-series, but its 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance is adequate for Fivem’s multiplayer environments. The data shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K, where the average FPS drops to 44.4 on High and 35.3 on Ultra. This suggests that the 8 GB VRAM capacity is being saturated at higher resolutions, as the 128-bit memory bus cannot deliver the bandwidth needed for 4K textures.

The RTX 4060’s benchmarks place it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 23,181. Its closest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23,321, a 0.6% difference. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 19,545 indicates solid rasterization performance for a mid-range card. In Fivem, the GPU’s role is clear: at 1080p and 1440p, it provides sufficient headroom to push high frame rates, but at 4K, the VRAM and bandwidth limitations become apparent, as seen in the 35.3 FPS Ultra result.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a significant scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 189.5 FPS, which drops to 122.9 FPS at 1440p Low (a 35% reduction) and further to 71.6 FPS at 4K Low (a 62% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K, as the CPU’s 20 cores and 28 threads are likely not the bottleneck at lower resolutions.

At High settings, the scaling is less severe: 117.2 FPS at 1080p, 76.6 FPS at 1440p (a 35% drop), and 44.4 FPS at 4K (a 62% drop from 1080p). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the RTX 4060’s memory bandwidth is the limiting factor, as the 272.0 GB/s cannot keep up with the pixel count at 4K. The difference between 1080p and 1440p is more manageable, with only a 35% reduction, making 1440p a viable target for this combo.

Settings Recommendations

The data indicates that Medium settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. At 1440p Medium, the combo delivers 101 FPS, which is smooth for multiplayer gaming. At 1080p Medium, the 152.1 FPS result is excellent, while 4K Medium drops to 53.9 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action.

For users prioritizing frame rate, Low settings at 1440p (122.9 FPS) offer the best experience, as the visual difference between Low and Medium is often negligible in Fivem’s multiplayer scenarios. High settings are recommended for users with 1080p displays, as the 117.2 FPS result is above the 100 FPS threshold. Ultra settings should be avoided at all resolutions above 1080p, as the 4K Ultra result of 35.3 FPS is not playable, and even 1440p Ultra at 62.5 FPS may feel sluggish in competitive play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo shows strong performance across all settings. Low settings yield 189.5 FPS, Medium 152.1 FPS, High 117.2 FPS, and Ultra 91.1 FPS. The 98.4 FPS difference between Low and Ultra highlights the GPU’s scalability, with the 8 GB VRAM handling 1080p textures without issue.

At 2560x1440, the results are still playable but show the GPU’s limits. Low settings hit 122.9 FPS, Medium 101 FPS, High 76.6 FPS, and Ultra 62.5 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p averages around 35%, which is expected for a mid-range GPU with a 128-bit memory bus.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls below 60 FPS on most settings. Low settings achieve 71.6 FPS, Medium 53.9 FPS, High 44.4 FPS, and Ultra 35.3 FPS. The 4K results clearly show the RTX 4060’s limitations, as the 272.0 GB/s bandwidth cannot sustain high frame rates at this resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F features 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This Raptor Lake Refresh processor has 33 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,443 and single-core score of 5,003 place it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, indicating strong performance for both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer game that often relies on CPU performance for physics and network handling, the i7-14700F’s high boost clock and 28 threads are beneficial. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 189.5 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions. The CPU’s PassMark Multi-thread score of 41,765 and Single-thread score of 4,261 indicate a balanced profile that handles Fivem’s mixed workload effectively. The CPU’s TDP of 65 W is modest for 20 cores, but the data does not show any thermal throttling impacts on FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 993rd out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 55th percentile of the database. This ranking reflects the GPU’s mid-range position (66th percentile for GPUs) and the CPU’s high-end position (94th percentile for CPUs). The combo’s performance is limited by the RTX 4060, as the CPU has ample headroom for higher frame rates if paired with a stronger GPU.

The ranking indicates that this combo is better suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it achieves above 100 FPS on most settings. At 4K, the combo falls to the lower half of the database, as the 35.3 FPS Ultra result is significantly below the average for top-tier combos. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, score 0.6% higher on average, but this difference is negligible in gaming scenarios. Overall, the combo offers a solid mid-range experience, with the CPU being the stronger component and the GPU being the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.
