Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 259th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 7% of all configurations measured. This is a strong result, though the ranking reflects the game's unusual scaling behavior more than raw hardware dominance; the combo delivers playable frame rates at every resolution tested, but the gap between settings presets reveals that the RTX 4080 SUPER is often the limiting factor at higher quality levels. The data shows a system that is well-balanced for 1440p and 1080p gaming, with 4K requiring a settings trade-off to maintain high refresh rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The 259th position out of 3707 combos is a top-tier placement, but it is not the absolute top tier that the hardware's individual benchmark scores might suggest. The CPU's average benchmark score of 53620 places it at the 91st percentile among all processors, while the GPU's average score of 54209 puts it at the 86th percentile among all graphics cards. Yet in Fivem specifically, the combo sits at roughly the 93rd percentile of all tested combinations (259/3707). This indicates that Fivem's performance is not purely driven by these hardware scores; the game's engine and multiplayer nature create a scenario where the measured FPS at high settings is more constrained than the hardware's theoretical compute potential.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals clarifies the tier this system occupies. The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701, which is 0.2% higher than the i7-14700F's 53620, making the two statistically equivalent. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X sits 0.6% behind, and the AMD EPYC 7313P is 0.8% behind. This means the i7-14700F is in the upper echelon of CPU performance, but it is not a class leader; it trades blows with server and workstation parts. For the GPU, the RTX 4080 SUPER's 54209 average score is 0.1% behind the original RTX 4080's 54247, which is a negligible difference. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% ahead, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is 2.7% ahead, which is unusual since the latter is typically a lower-tier card, but the benchmark averages reflect compute workloads, not gaming. Within Fivem, the combo's rank of 259 suggests that many other systems with faster CPUs or different GPU combinations achieve higher frame rates, likely because Fivem can be sensitive to single-thread performance and memory latency.

The ranking also implies that the system is not bottlenecked in a way that would push it into the top 50. For context, being 259th out of 3707 means there are 258 combos that perform better in this specific game. Given the CPU's 91st percentile and GPU's 86th percentile, the expectation might be a higher rank, but Fivem's multiplayer environments often have variable CPU loads that do not scale linearly with core counts. The i7-14700F has 20 cores and 28 threads, but Fivem may not utilize all of them effectively, especially in single-threaded server-side calculations. The result is a combo that is excellent but not perfect, and the measured FPS numbers confirm this.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary rendering engine in this combo, and its specifications explain much of the observed performance. It has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a substantial amount of memory bandwidth, which is crucial for Fivem at high resolutions, where texture streaming and draw calls can strain the memory subsystem. The GPU's base clock is 2295 MHz, with a boost clock of 2550 MHz, and the memory runs at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). These clocks are high, but the architecture's efficiency is what matters more; the RTX 4080 SUPER is built on a 5 nm process from TSMC, with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes clear when comparing the measured FPS across settings. At 4K, the average FPS drops from 121 on Low to 59 on Ultra, a 51% reduction. This is a classic GPU-bound scenario where the rendering load increases with settings. The GPU's 16 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, as the memory size is ample for modern games, but the shading units and ROPs determine the fill rate. The RTX 4080 SUPER has 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, which are high numbers, yet the 4K Ultra result of 59 FPS suggests that Fivem's Ultra preset includes effects like advanced shadows, reflections, and ambient occlusion that are computationally expensive.

The GPU's benchmark scores further contextualize its role. The passmark_g3d score of 34245 is strong, but the passmark_directx_12 score of 134 is low, which is odd but likely reflects a specific workload that does not translate to Fivem. The 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 score of 6600 indicates the GPU's raw DirectX 12 performance, but Fivem is an older game that may rely more on DirectX 11, where the passmark_directx_11 score of 301 is more relevant. The GPU also has 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores, which are not heavily used in Fivem, as the game does not require ray tracing. The GPU's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is high, but the game's engine may not fully utilize it. The data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER is capable of high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the Ultra preset pushes it to just below 60 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the bottleneck at that setting.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values across resolutions reveal how the system's bottleneck shifts. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 331 FPS, which is extremely high and suggests that the CPU is not limiting at this resolution and settings level. Moving to 1440p Low, the FPS drops to 218, and at 4K Low, it falls to 121. This is a 63% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which is expected as the GPU's fill rate becomes more stressed. However, the scaling is not linear; the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 44%, indicating that the GPU is becoming more of a factor at higher resolutions.

At Medium settings, the pattern is similar but with lower absolute numbers. The 1080p Medium average is 261 FPS, 1440p Medium is 172 FPS, and 4K Medium is 95 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is 64%, which is nearly identical to the Low settings scaling. This suggests that the Medium preset adds a consistent load that scales with resolution. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 81, and the maximum is 110, which is a wide range, indicating variability in the game's scenes. At High settings, the scaling is more pronounced: 1080p High is 209 FPS, 1440p High is 138 FPS, and 4K High is 76 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 64% again, but the absolute values are lower, showing that High settings increase the GPU load.

The Ultra preset shows the steepest scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 162 FPS, which is still playable, but at 1440p Ultra, it drops to 107 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 59 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is 64%, but the key observation is that the gap between Ultra and High at 4K is only 17 FPS (59 vs 76), while at 1080p, the gap is 47 FPS (162 vs 209). This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is so heavily loaded that the difference between High and Ultra is reduced, because the GPU is already near its limit. The data shows that the system is CPU-bound at 1080p Low (331 FPS is above what most GPUs can sustain), but becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is the clear limiting component, as the CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads are unlikely to be the constraint at 59 FPS.

A: The data shows that 1440p High delivers 138 FPS average, which is a good balance between visual quality and performance. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 107 FPS, which is still playable, but 1440p High offers a higher frame rate with a moderate quality trade-off. 4K Ultra is the most demanding, with 59 FPS average, which may be too low for competitive play.

Q: How does the RTX 4080 SUPER compare to the original RTX 4080 in Fivem?

A: The GPU benchmark data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER has an average score of 54209, which is 0.1% lower than the RTX 4080's 54247. In Fivem, this difference is negligible, and the measured FPS would be nearly identical. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are the same as the original, so the performance is expected to be equivalent.

Q: Is the Intel Core i7-14700F a bottleneck at 4K Ultra in Fivem?

A: The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 59 FPS, which is likely GPU-bound. The CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, are more than sufficient for Fivem at this resolution. The CPU's average benchmark score of 53620 places it at the 91st percentile, and its nearest rival, the Intel Xeon 6505P, is only 0.2% faster. Thus, the CPU is not the limiting factor at 4K Ultra.

Q: What is the expected FPS at 1080p Medium in Fivem?

A: The measured average FPS at 1080p Medium is 261, with a minimum of 222 and a maximum of 301. This is a very high frame rate, indicating that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p. The CPU's performance is likely the limiting factor at this low resolution and settings level, but it is still delivering excellent results.

Q: How does the combo's rank of 259 out of 3707 translate into real-world performance?

A: Being in the top 7% of tested combos means that most systems will perform worse than this one in Fivem. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, and the data shows that the combo can handle 1440p High at 138 FPS and 1080p Ultra at 162 FPS. For 4K gaming, it would require adjusting settings to High or Medium to maintain above 60 FPS.

Q: Does the GPU's 16 GB VRAM matter for Fivem?

A: The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is more than enough for Fivem, even at 4K Ultra. The game does not have the massive texture requirements of newer AAA titles, so the VRAM is not a bottleneck. The GPU's bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s is more relevant, as it allows for efficient texture streaming, but the measured FPS shows that other factors, such as shading units and ROPs, are the primary limiters at Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 162 FPS average, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors (144Hz or 165Hz). The High preset at 209 FPS is even faster, but the visual difference between High and Ultra may be noticeable. For 1440p, the High preset provides 138 FPS, which is a good balance; the Ultra preset at 107 FPS is still playable but may not fully utilize a 144Hz monitor. The Medium preset at 172 FPS is an option for competitive play, but it sacrifices visual quality.

At 4K, the situation is more nuanced. The Ultra preset yields 59 FPS average, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay; the minimum FPS is not reported for Ultra, but the average suggests occasional dips below 60. The High preset at 76 FPS is the recommended choice for 4K, as it provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining high visual quality. The Medium preset at 95 FPS is also viable, and it offers a wider range between minimum (81 FPS) and maximum (110 FPS), which could be beneficial in scenes with heavy script activity. The Low preset at 121 FPS is the best for maximizing frame rate, but it will look significantly worse.

The data shows that the combo is not able to maintain 60+ FPS at 4K Ultra, so users with 4K displays should choose High or Medium. For 1440p and 1080p, the High preset is the sweet spot, as it offers high frame rates without the performance hit of Ultra. The Ultra preset is only recommended for 1080p, where the 162 FPS average is still high enough for a smooth experience. The Medium preset is a fallback for 4K or for users who prefer higher frame rates over visual fidelity. The key takeaway is that this system is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it can achieve over 100 FPS at High settings, and 1080p gaming, where it can exceed 200 FPS at High settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F plays a supporting role in Fivem, but its specifications ensure that it does not become a bottleneck in most scenarios. The CPU has 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The boost clock is particularly important for Fivem, which relies on single-threaded performance for many game logic and scripting tasks. The CPU's single-core benchmark scores are strong: Cinebench R23 single-core is 4958, and Geekbench single-core is 2429. These scores indicate that the CPU can handle the game's main thread efficiently, which is why the combo achieves 331 FPS at 1080p Low.

The CPU's 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache per core are also relevant. Fivem's multiplayer environments often involve complex script execution and data handling, and the large cache helps reduce memory latency. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, but the memory bandwidth is not specified in the data; however, the dual-channel memory bus is standard. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53620, places it ahead of most consumer processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Xeon 6505P, is only 0.2% faster, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is 0.6% slower, so the i7-14700F is at the top of its class.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the GPU is not heavily loaded, and the CPU's ability to process the game's logic determines the frame rate. The 331 FPS result shows that the CPU is not a limitation. However, at 4K Ultra, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the CPU's performance is less critical. The CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads are more than sufficient for Fivem, which is not a heavily multithreaded game; the extra cores are unlikely to be fully utilized, but they do not hurt. The CPU's power efficiency, with a TDP of 65 W, is also notable, but it is not a factor in the measured FPS. The CPU's integrated graphics are listed as N/A, which is expected for an F-series chip, and the discrete GPU handles all rendering.

The data shows that the CPU's performance is consistent with its benchmark scores. The passmark_multithread score of 41317 and the passmark_single_thread score of 4257 indicate a balanced processor that excels in both single- and multi-threaded workloads. In Fivem, the single-thread performance is what matters most, and the i7-14700F delivers. The CPU's 5.40 GHz boost clock is the key specification, as it allows the game's main thread to run at high frequency. The combination of high clock speed, large cache, and 20 cores means that the CPU will not be the limiting factor in Fivem, except perhaps at extremely low resolutions where the GPU's frame rate exceeds the CPU's ability to feed it. Overall, the i7-14700F is a strong match for the RTX 4080 SUPER, providing enough CPU headroom to let the GPU perform at its full potential across all tested settings.
