Q: Does the CPU's high core count provide any benefit in Fivem's gameplay?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700K has 20 cores and 28 threads, which is substantial for multi-threaded workloads. However, given that the combo ranking is mid-pack and the FPS scales significantly with GPU-heavy settings, the data suggests Fivem's performance here is more dependent on the GPU than the CPU's multi-core capabilities.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT serves as the primary graphics driver in this configuration, featuring 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. This memory configuration provides a bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s, which is a critical factor for texture streaming in Fivem's open-world multiplayer environments. The GPU's base clock of 2150 MHz and boost clock of 2600 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz, determine how quickly it can process the draw calls and shader operations required by the game.

The measured FPS data reveals that the GPU's performance ceiling is reached at 4K resolution. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates across all settings range from 37.4 FPS on Ultra to 72.9 FPS on Low. This indicates that the RX 6750 XT, which ranks in the 79th percentile among all GPUs, is struggling to maintain high frame rates at this resolution. The rendering overhead of 4K, which quadruples the pixel count of 1080p, appears to saturate the GPU's 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power.

The GPU's role shifts when moving to lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, the frame rates become more dependent on the CPU's ability to feed the GPU with draw calls. The RX 6750 XT's 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units are sufficient to handle Fivem's visual load at these resolutions, as evidenced by the high average FPS figures at 1080p Low (200.1 FPS) and 1440p Low (129.6 FPS). The GPU's 40 ray tracing cores are present but Fivem does not utilize ray tracing, so their impact is negligible in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700K and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination ranks 913th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This mid-pack position indicates that the system is neither a top-tier performer nor a low-end option. The rank suggests that the pairing of a high-end CPU with a mid-range GPU creates a balance that is common among many tested systems, though the data does not specify which components are in the combos ranked above or below.

When examining the individual components, the CPU ranks in the 96th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 79th percentile among all GPUs. This discrepancy suggests that the CPU is capable of more than the GPU can deliver, which likely contributes to the mid-pack ranking. The combo's position implies that it outperforms many systems with lower-end CPUs or GPUs but falls short of those with more powerful graphics cards.

The ranking of 913 out of 1792 places the combo in the 50.9th percentile of all tested combinations. This means it performs better than half of all tested systems but worse than the other half. The data does not reveal whether the ranking is influenced more by CPU or GPU performance, but the significant gap between the CPU's high percentile and the GPU's lower percentile suggests the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the display resolution and target frame rate. At 1920x1080, all settings presets deliver playable frame rates, with Low settings achieving 200.1 FPS, Medium at 156.9 FPS, High at 124.2 FPS, and Ultra at 95.5 FPS. For competitive multiplayer gameplay, the High preset at 1080p offers a smooth experience above 120 FPS, while Ultra remains above 90 FPS for a more visually rich experience.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset provides the best balance, delivering 102.3 FPS. High settings at this resolution yield 79.5 FPS, which is still playable but may feel less smooth in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. Low settings offer 129.6 FPS for maximum responsiveness, but the visual quality reduction may be noticeable. Ultra at 1440p drops to 62.7 FPS, which is near the lower boundary of acceptable frame rates for many players.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only option that approaches 60 FPS, achieving 72.9 FPS. Medium drops to 57.3 FPS, High to 46.6 FPS, and Ultra to 37.4 FPS. For 4K gaming, the Low preset is recommended for playable performance, while Medium may be acceptable for less demanding scenarios. The data clearly shows that higher settings at 4K result in sub-60 FPS performance, making this resolution a compromise between visual fidelity and smoothness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system achieves its highest frame rates, with Low settings producing an average of 200.1 FPS. Medium settings follow at 156.9 FPS, High at 124.2 FPS, and Ultra at 95.5 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a consistent decrease in performance, with Ultra being 52.3% slower than Low.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates are 129.6 FPS on Low, 102.3 FPS on Medium, 79.5 FPS on High, and 62.7 FPS on Ultra. The performance drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 51.6%, which is similar to the percentage drop at 1080p. However, the absolute FPS values are lower, reflecting the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are significantly lower across all settings. Low settings produce 72.9 FPS, Medium 57.3 FPS, High 46.6 FPS, and Ultra 37.4 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is 48.7%, which is slightly less than at lower resolutions, suggesting that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The data shows that the combo can handle 4K only at Low settings with acceptable performance.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K features 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. This processor, based on the Raptor Lake architecture, has a substantial 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per core of L2 cache. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often involves many concurrent entities and scripts, the CPU's multi-core performance could be beneficial for handling server-side logic and client-side physics.

However, the measured FPS data suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in most scenarios. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 200.1 FPS, which is well above typical display refresh rates. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with sufficient draw calls at this resolution. The CPU's single-thread performance, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6287, is likely more relevant to Fivem's performance than its multi-core capabilities.

The CPU's 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 70074, places it among the top performers. When paired with the RX 6750 XT, which ranks in the 79th percentile among GPUs, the CPU appears to be underutilized in Fivem. This is particularly evident at 4K resolution, where the frame rates are limited by the GPU's processing power rather than the CPU's ability to supply work.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the combo's performance scales from 1080p to 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 124.2 at 1080p to 79.5 at 1440p, a reduction of 36.0%. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings, the FPS drops from 79.5 to 46.6, a reduction of 41.4%. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly strained as resolution increases.

At Low settings, the scaling is more pronounced in absolute terms but similar in percentage. From 1080p to 1440p, the FPS drops from 200.1 to 129.6, a 35.2% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops from 129.6 to 72.9, a 43.8% reduction. The increasing percentage drop at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s becomes a limiting factor as pixel count grows.

The resolution scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component in this combo. The CPU's high single-thread performance allows it to maintain high frame rates at 1080p, but as resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows exponentially. At 4K, the GPU's 12 GB of VRAM and 192-bit memory bus are insufficient to maintain high frame rates, even at Low settings. This analysis suggests that for optimal performance in Fivem, this combo is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where the CPU and GPU can work in better balance.
