# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core i7-14700F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

The measured data for Fivem with this combination places the system at rank 19 out of 3005 tested combos, positioning it in the top 0.6% of all configurations evaluated. The Intel Core i7-14700F, a 20-core Raptor Lake Refresh processor with a 5.40 GHz boost clock, pairs with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU featuring 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus. This pairing delivers frame rates ranging from 72 FPS at 4K Ultra to 375 FPS at 1080p Low, with the data revealing distinct performance characteristics across resolutions and settings that warrant detailed examination.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces dramatic FPS reductions across all settings presets, with the magnitude of the drop revealing where the bottleneck shifts. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 375 FPS at 1920x1080 to 265 FPS at 2560x1440, a 29.3% decrease, and then further to 147 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a 60.8% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU becomes progressively more constrained as pixel count increases, though the absolute frame rates remain high enough to suggest the CPU still contributes meaningfully at lower resolutions.

Medium settings show a similar scaling pattern: 317 FPS at 1080p, 209 FPS at 1440p, and 116 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34.1%, and from 1080p to 4K is 63.4%. The High preset follows with 254 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p, and 93 FPS at 4K, representing declines of 34.3% and 63.4% respectively. Ultra settings exhibit the most constrained scaling: 197 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p, and 72 FPS at 4K, with reductions of 34.0% and 63.5%.

The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings — approximately 34% from 1080p to 1440p and 63% from 1080p to 4K — indicates that resolution scaling in Fivem follows a predictable pattern driven primarily by GPU throughput. The RTX 5090 D, with its 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance, demonstrates that it can handle 1080p and 1440p workloads with substantial headroom, as evidenced by the 375 FPS Low result at 1080p. However, the 4K Ultra result of 72 FPS, while playable, shows that the most demanding configuration pushes the GPU to its limits, with the 32 GB frame buffer and 512-bit bus proving sufficient for memory-intensive scenarios but the raw compute throughput becoming the limiting factor.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset delivers the optimal balance of visual quality and frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset achieves 254 FPS average, which is 26.7% higher than Ultra's 197 FPS while likely offering comparable visual fidelity in most scenes. The Medium preset at 1080p delivers 317 FPS, a 24.8% improvement over High, with the minimum FPS of 270 still well above typical high-refresh-rate display capabilities. For competitive multiplayer scenarios in Fivem, where frame timing consistency matters, the Low preset's 375 FPS at 1080p represents the maximum achievable output, though the jump from Medium to Low (18.3% improvement) is less significant than the jump from Ultra to High (28.9% improvement).

At 2560x1440, the High preset's 167 FPS average provides excellent smoothness, while Ultra's 130 FPS remains acceptable for most users. The Medium preset at 1440p yields 209 FPS with a minimum of 178 FPS, suggesting that this configuration offers the best combination of visual fidelity and performance headroom. The data shows that the jump from Medium to High at 1440p costs 20.1% of average FPS (from 209 to 167), which may be a worthwhile trade for improved image quality on larger displays.

At 3840x2160, the High preset's 93 FPS average is the recommended choice for maintaining fluid gameplay, as Ultra drops to 72 FPS and Medium only improves to 116 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is 22.6%, representing a significant visual quality investment for 21 fewer frames per second. Given that the 4K Medium result of 116 FPS provides a 24.7% improvement over High, users prioritizing frame rate on 4K displays should consider Medium as the sweet spot, especially since the 99 FPS minimum at this setting remains above common 60 Hz and 90 Hz display refresh rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D serves as the primary performance driver in this configuration, with its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 512-bit bus width providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 21760 shading units and 680 texture mapping units enable substantial parallel processing capability, reflected in the 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput. The 2407 MHz boost clock represents the maximum sustained frequency, while the 2017 MHz base clock serves as the guaranteed minimum under load.

In Fivem's benchmark results, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p Low, the 375 FPS result suggests the CPU may be the limiting factor, as the GPU clearly has additional headroom given its performance at higher resolutions. The RTX 5090 D's 176 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s, which at 4K Ultra (72 FPS) translates to approximately 497 million pixels per second utilized — roughly 30% of the theoretical peak, indicating that other GPU subsystems, such as shader execution or texture fetching, are the actual constraints at this setting.

The GPU's 92,200 million transistors on a 5 nm TSMC process node represent a substantial hardware investment, and the 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth proves critical for 4K performance. The 32 GB frame buffer is more than sufficient for any Fivem scenario, and the 1750 MHz memory clock (28 Gbps effective) provides ample bandwidth for texture streaming in multiplayer environments. The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs and average benchmark score of 77712, with nearest rivals including the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.6% higher) and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (2.4% higher), confirms its position as a high-end performer, though the data suggests its Fivem-specific performance may be constrained by other system components at lower resolutions.
