Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER shows a clear progression as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo delivers 101 FPS on average. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same preset drops that figure to 66 FPS, a reduction of roughly 35%. At 3840x2160, the average falls further to 37 FPS, which represents approximately a 63% decrease from the 1080p result.

This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER becomes the limiting component as pixel count rises. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with bandwidth rated at 448.0 GB/s, must handle increasing fill-rate demands. The jump from 1080p to 1440p costs about 35 FPS at High settings, while the jump from 1440p to 4K costs another 29 FPS. The curve is not linear; the drop from 1440p to 4K is slightly less severe in absolute terms, suggesting the GPU is already under heavy load at the lower resolution.

Comparing Low settings across resolutions reinforces this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 159 FPS. At 1440p Low, it achieves 105 FPS. At 4K Low, it manages 58 FPS. The 4K Low result is notably higher than the 4K High result of 37 FPS, showing that reducing graphical workload relieves pressure on the GPU. However, even at Low settings and 4K, the frame rate does not approach the 1440p High figure, confirming that resolution scaling is the dominant factor.

The data also reveals that the gap between Low and High settings widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and High is 58 FPS (159 vs 101). At 1440p, it is 39 FPS (105 vs 66). At 4K, it narrows to 21 FPS (58 vs 37). This compression at 4K suggests that the GPU's raw throughput limits performance regardless of preset, whereas at 1080p, the CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads can feed frames fast enough to let the GPU work harder on visual fidelity.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip fabricated on a 12 nm process. Its base clock runs at 1470 MHz, boosting to 1650 MHz. Memory operates at 1750 MHz, translating to 14 Gbps effective, across an 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with a 256-bit interface. Bandwidth is rated at 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for most 1080p and 1440p workloads but becomes strained at 4K in Fivem.

Benchmark results for this GPU show a PassMark G3D score of 16462 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2011. Its average benchmark score is 18093, placing it in the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals in aggregate performance include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile with an average score of 18159 (a -0.4% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at 18189 (-0.5%), the AMD Radeon RX 460 at 18373 (-1.5%), and the Intel Arc A770M at 18383 (-1.6%). The RTX 2060 SUPER sits slightly below all four of these in average score, yet the deltas are small — within 1.6% — so real-world gaming differences often come down to driver optimization and specific game engines.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most evident in the 4K Ultra preset, where the average FPS drops to 28. This is the lowest measured result across all settings and resolutions. The card's 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs, producing a pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s, are simply overwhelmed by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings. The texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s and FP32 throughput of 7.181 TFLOPS further indicate that the card is a mid-range performer from its generation, not designed for 4K maxed-out play.

The RTX 2060 SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which aligns with modern game requirements. Its 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are present but not heavily utilized in Fivem, as the game is not known for ray tracing or DLSS reliance. The measured data shows no min or max FPS values for most presets, but the Medium preset at 4K shows a range from 39 to 53 FPS, indicating some variance in demanding scenes.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal balance between visual quality and frame rate for this combo depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 101 FPS average, which is smooth for most gameplay. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 78 FPS, still playable but with a 23 FPS penalty over High. The Medium preset at 1080p hits 126 FPS with a recorded range of 107 to 145, offering high responsiveness. For competitive play, the Low preset at 1080p reaches 159 FPS, which is ideal for maximum frame pacing.

At 2560x1440, the High preset produces 66 FPS average, which is acceptable for slower-paced sessions but may feel less fluid in fast action. The Medium preset at 1440p provides 83 FPS with a range of 70 to 95, making it a better choice for maintaining higher frame rates while preserving some visual detail. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 105 FPS, suitable for players prioritizing performance over appearance. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 51 FPS, which is borderline for a multiplayer title where reaction time matters.

For 3840x2160, the measured data shows that only the Low preset achieves a playable average of 58 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K delivers 46 FPS with a range of 39 to 53, which may be tolerable for less demanding scenarios but risks dipping below 40 FPS in busy areas. The High preset at 4K drops to 37 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 28 FPS, both of which are likely too low for smooth multiplayer interaction. Therefore, the recommendation is to use Low or Medium settings at 4K, Medium or High at 1440p, and High or Ultra at 1080p, depending on whether visual fidelity or frame rate is prioritized.

The measured data indicates that the Medium preset provides the most consistent experience across all three resolutions, with averages of 126, 83, and 46 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. The min FPS values for Medium are only recorded at 107 (1080p), 70 (1440p), and 39 (4K), suggesting that frame dips are contained rather than catastrophic.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER holds a combo rank of 2581 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the combo in the 69th percentile (calculated from rank divided by total combos), meaning it outperforms roughly 69% of all tested setups but falls short of the top 30% of configurations.

This ranking reflects the CPU's strong synthetic performance versus the GPU's mid-tier standing. The i7-14700K has an average benchmark score of 69355 and sits in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD EPYC 9115 (avg score 69288, +0.1% delta), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (69515, -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (69875, -0.7%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F (69996, -0.9%). The CPU is essentially at parity with these rivals, all within a 1% margin. However, the RTX 2060 SUPER's 62nd percentile among GPUs and its average score of 18093, which is slightly below several similarly performing cards, drags the overall combo ranking down relative to what the CPU alone might achieve.

In Fivem, the combo's rank of 2581 indicates that the GPU is the bottleneck in most scenarios. The measured FPS at 1080p High (101 FPS) is respectable, but the same CPU with a higher-tier GPU would likely score much higher in the combo ranking. The fact that the RTX 2060 SUPER is end-of-life, with its successor being the GeForce 30 series, further explains why this pairing does not reach the top percentile.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on Raptor Lake architecture, fabricated on a 10 nm process. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz, with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The CPU has a 33 MB shared L3 cache, 2 MB L2 cache per core, and 80 KB L1 cache per core. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, and its TDP is rated at 125 W.

Synthetic benchmarks show the i7-14700K's strength: Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33440.5 and single-core of 2160, Geekbench multi-core of 20767 and single-core of 2569, and PassMark multi-thread of 52392 with single-thread of 4472. These scores place the CPU in the 94th percentile, with an average benchmark score of 69355. The nearest rivals are all within 1% of this score, indicating that the i7-14700K is a top-tier consumer processor for its generation.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (159 FPS) shows that the CPU can push very high frame rates when the GPU is not heavily loaded. At 1080p High, the CPU still manages 101 FPS, but the GPU begins to constrain performance. The fact that 4K Low (58 FPS) is much lower than 1080p Low (159 FPS) despite identical settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor, not the CPU.

The i7-14700K's high single-thread score of 4472 in PassMark is particularly relevant for Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V and can be sensitive to CPU performance in crowded servers. However, the measured data does not show a scenario where the CPU is clearly bottlenecked at any resolution, as the GPU's performance scales consistently with resolution changesheb. The CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads are more than sufficient for this game, and the bottleneck lies squarely with the RTX 2060 SUPER.
