# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 brings substantial graphics horsepower to Fivem, and the measured FPS data reflects its capabilities across different settings. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which helps manage the asset streaming demands typical of a multiplayer game like Fivem. The card operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and boosts to 2617 MHz, with memory running at 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective).

The GPU's architecture is Blackwell 2.0 on a 5 nm process from TSMC, containing 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die. With 10752 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, the card is built for high-throughput rendering. The compute capabilities are notable: 56.28 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio), which suggests strong raw performance for both traditional rasterization and compute-heavy workloads.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's role becomes more or less dominant depending on the settings preset. At Ultra settings across all resolutions, the frame rates drop significantly compared to High settings, indicating that Ultra is pushing the GPU harder. For instance, at 2560x1440, Ultra yields 115.3 FPS while High yields 145.9 FPS—a 21% reduction. This pattern repeats at every resolution, with Ultra consistently delivering around 20-25% lower FPS than High.

Interestingly, the RTX 5080's closest rivals in the benchmark database—the Intel Arc A570M (1.6% lower score), Intel Arc Pro A60 (1.9% higher), and Intel Arc A580 (2.5% lower)—are all mid-range cards. This suggests that the RTX 5080's benchmark score of 59188, while strong, places it in a segment where the competition is not directly comparable in real-world gaming. The GPU's 89th percentile ranking indicates it outperforms the vast majority of GPUs, yet the measured FPS in Fivem shows that even this powerful card is not immune to frame rate drops at higher settings.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. This processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration.

In multi-threaded workloads, the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 35443 and Geekbench multicore score of 16571 show strong overall processing capability. Its single-thread performance is also solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core scoring 5003 and Passmark single-thread at 4261. These numbers indicate that the CPU can handle both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded tasks efficiently.

For Fivem, a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V, the CPU's role is often critical due to the game's simulation and scripting overhead. The measured FPS data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 351.1 FPS—a figure that suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck at this resolution and settings level. Even at 2560x1440 Low, the combo reaches 230.4 FPS, which is still well above typical display refresh rates.

However, the CPU's impact becomes more apparent when comparing across resolutions. From 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, FPS drops from 351.1 to 230.4—a 34% reduction. From 1440p to 4K at Low, FPS drops from 230.4 to 129.8—a 44% reduction. These scaling patterns suggest that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor, but the CPU still maintains high frame rates even at 4K.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 94% among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54097, places it just 0.6% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and 1.1% behind the Ryzen 9 9900X3D. This puts the i7-14700F in elite company, and the Fivem results reflect that—the combo never drops below 63.6 FPS even at 4K Ultra.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce 351.1 FPS average, Medium yields 279.6 FPS, High drops to 220.6 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 173.9 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 50% reduction in frame rate, but even at Ultra, the 173.9 FPS result is exceptionally smooth.

Moving to 2560x1440, the FPS figures remain impressive. Low settings achieve 230.4 FPS, Medium delivers 185.5 FPS, High hits 145.9 FPS, and Ultra manages 115.3 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent: Low loses 34%, Medium loses 34%, High loses 34%, and Ultra loses 34%. This uniform percentage reduction indicates that the scaling is not resolution-bound but rather settings-bound.

At 3840x2160, the demands on the GPU become evident. Low settings produce 129.8 FPS, Medium drops to 102.3 FPS, High yields 78.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 63.6 FPS. From 1440p to 4K, the reductions are: Low loses 44%, Medium loses 45%, High loses 46%, and Ultra loses 45%. This tighter clustering of percentage losses suggests that at 4K, the GPU is becoming the primary constraint across all settings.

The data reveals an interesting pattern when comparing settings presets within each resolution. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Medium is 71.5 FPS (351.1 to 279.6), while the gap between High and Ultra is 46.7 FPS (220.6 to 173.9). At 4K, the Low-to-Medium gap shrinks to 27.5 FPS (129.8 to 102.3), and the High-to-Ultra gap narrows to 14.9 FPS (78.5 to 63.6). This compression of frame rate differences at higher resolutions further supports the GPU-bound interpretation at 4K.

# How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 62 out of 1792 tested configurations places this pairing in the 96.5th percentile of all tested combos in Fivem. This is a strong result, but it is not the top—there are 61 other configurations that outperform it. The ranking suggests that while the i7-14700F and RTX 5080 are both high-performing components individually, there are combinations that extract even more performance from Fivem.

The CPU's relative performance among rivals is tight. The i7-14700F's average benchmark score of 54097 is only 0.6% below the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (54450) and 1.1% below the Ryzen 9 9900X3D (54681). Interestingly, the CPU outperforms the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 by 1.2% and the AMD EPYC 7313P by 1.7%. These deltas are all within a narrow band, suggesting that the CPU is not the differentiator in this combo's ranking.

For the GPU, the RTX 5080's average score of 59188 puts it ahead of the Intel Arc A570M by 1.6% and the Arc A580 by 2.5%, while trailing the Arc Pro A60 by 1.9%. The GPU's 89th percentile ranking is impressive but lower than the CPU's 94th percentile, indicating that the GPU is more of a limiting factor relative to other GPUs than the CPU is relative to other CPUs.

The combination of a top-tier CPU and a high-end GPU yields a rank that is strong but not dominant. This suggests that Fivem's performance may depend on factors beyond raw compute, such as game engine optimization or network-related bottlenecks inherent to multiplayer environments.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the High settings preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, High delivers 220.6 FPS, which is 46.7 FPS lower than Medium but still far above any display refresh rate. At 2560x1440, High achieves 145.9 FPS, providing smooth gameplay for high-refresh-rate monitors. Even at 3840x2160, High maintains 78.5 FPS, which is playable for most users.

Ultra settings are only recommended for 1080p use, where the 173.9 FPS result remains smooth. At 1440p, Ultra's 115.3 FPS is acceptable but represents a 21% performance hit compared to High. At 4K, Ultra's 63.6 FPS is borderline for competitive play and only suitable for slower-paced gameplay.

Low settings maximize frame rates (351.1 FPS at 1080p, 230.4 FPS at 1440p, 129.8 FPS at 4K) but sacrifice visual fidelity. This preset is best for players who prioritize competitive advantage over graphics. Medium settings provide a middle ground: 279.6 FPS at 1080p, 185.5 FPS at 1440p, and 102.3 FPS at 4K.

The data suggests that High is the sweet spot for this combo. It offers a substantial visual upgrade over Low and Medium while maintaining frame rates that are 20-25% higher than Ultra across all resolutions. For players with high-refresh-rate monitors (144Hz or 240Hz), High settings at 1080p or 1440p will fully utilize the display's capabilities.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about which component is limiting performance at each resolution. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p (351.1 FPS) to 1440p (230.4 FPS) is 34.4%, and from 1440p to 4K (129.8 FPS) is 43.7%. The larger percentage drop at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as pixel count increases.

At High settings, the pattern is similar: 1080p to 1440p drops by 33.9% (220.6 to 145.9 FPS), and 1440p to 4K drops by 46.2% (145.9 to 78.5 FPS). The 4K-to-1440p drop is steeper than the 1440p-to-1080p drop, which is expected given the 2.25x pixel count increase from 1440p to 4K versus the 1.78x increase from 1080p to 1440p.

The Ultra settings scaling tells a slightly different story. From 1080p to 1440p, FPS drops by 33.7% (173.9 to 115.3), and from 1440p to 4K, it drops by 44.8% (115.3 to 63.6). These percentages are similar to those observed at High settings, suggesting that the relative performance impact of resolution is consistent regardless of settings preset.

The fact that the percentage drops from 1080p to 1440p are nearly identical across all settings (33.9-34.4%) indicates that the scaling is resolution-driven rather than settings-driven. However, the slightly larger percentage drops from 1440p to 4K (43.7-46.2%) suggest that at 4K, the GPU is more heavily stressed, and the frame rate is increasingly constrained by the RTX 5080's rendering capacity rather than any CPU limitation.

At 1080p Low, the 351.1 FPS result suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to achieve extremely high frame rates. The fact that this figure drops so dramatically at 1440p (to 230.4 FPS) implies that the GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting factor even at lower settings. This is consistent with Fivem's engine, which is known to be CPU-intensive in multiplayer scenarios, but the data shows that with the i7-14700F's strong single-thread performance, the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions.
