Fivem

Fivem’s performance with the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 shows a configuration that is heavily skewed toward high refresh rates at standard resolutions, with the data revealing a clear transition from CPU-bound behavior at 1080p to GPU-bound behavior at 4K. The measured FPS across all settings and resolutions indicates that this pairing delivers playable frame rates even at maximum quality presets, though the scaling pattern exposes the upper limits of the GPU’s rendering throughput.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is substantial but predictable, with the data showing a scaling factor that varies by settings preset. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 333 at 1080p to 219 at 1440p, then down to 122 at 4K — a reduction of 63% from the lowest to the highest resolution. This steep decline indicates that even with the RTX 4080’s compute capabilities, the pixel throughput demand at 4K is significant enough to cut performance by roughly two-thirds when the CPU is not the bottleneck.

At Medium settings, the scaling is steeper in absolute terms: 263 FPS at 1080p drops to 173 FPS at 1440p and then to 96 FPS at 4K. The 4K result represents a 63.5% reduction from the 1080p figure, which is nearly identical to the Low preset’s scaling pattern. This consistency suggests that the limiting factor at these settings is the GPU’s fill rate and shader processing, rather than any CPU-side constraint.

The High preset shows a different scaling characteristic. From 210 FPS at 1080p, the average drops to 138 FPS at 1440p — a 34% decrease — and then to 77 FPS at 4K, which is a 44% drop from the 1440p figure. The Ultra preset follows a shallower curve in absolute terms: 163 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 60 FPS at 4K. The Ultra 4K result is particularly telling, as it lands at exactly 60 FPS, suggesting the GPU is being pushed to its architectural limits with the most demanding settings enabled.

The data indicates that the RTX 4080’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 256-bit bus and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient to handle the texture and geometry loads at 4K Ultra, as evidenced by the non-null minimum FPS values only appearing at Medium settings (82 FPS at 4K, 147 FPS at 1440p, 223 FPS at 1080p). The absence of min/max data for other presets limits the analysis, but the average FPS trends clearly show that resolution scaling is primarily a GPU-bound phenomenon for this title.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K brings 20 cores and 28 threads to this configuration, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. These specifications are relevant to Fivem’s multi-threaded server-side simulation and player entity management, which can tax CPU resources heavily in crowded multiplayer sessions. The processor’s benchmark scores reinforce its strength: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33440.5 and a single-core score of 2160, alongside a Geekbench multi-core score of 20767.

The CPU’s role in the measured FPS becomes apparent when examining the 1080p results. At Low settings, the average FPS reaches 333, which is well beyond what the RTX 4080 would deliver if the GPU were the primary constraint. This high frame rate is likely enabled by the CPU’s ability to feed the render pipeline with game state updates, particularly given the processor’s high single-thread performance. The Passmark single-thread score of 4472 and the Cinebench R20 single-core result of 2617 both indicate strong per-core capability, which matters in Fivem’s often CPU-bound scenarios.

However, the CPU’s influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 122, which is a 63% drop from the 1080p Low result. This gap is far wider than what would be expected from a CPU bottleneck alone, pointing to the GPU becoming the limiting component. The 1440p Low result of 219 FPS sits between the two extremes, showing a progressive shift in the bottleneck as pixel workload scales.

The L3 cache of 33 MB shared across the cores, with 2 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core, provides adequate capacity for the game’s frequently accessed data structures. The processor’s 125 W TDP and Raptor Lake architecture with a 10 nm process node are consistent with a high-end desktop part that can sustain high clock speeds without throttling in typical gaming scenarios. The data suggests the CPU is never the primary limiter above 1080p, but at 1080p Low, it is likely the factor preventing even higher frame rates than the 333 FPS recorded.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranking of 220 out of 3707 tested combinations places this system in the top 6% of all configurations tested in Fivem. This ranking reflects the combined capability of the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, with the CPU’s percentile of 94 among all CPUs and the GPU’s percentile of 86 among all GPUs contributing to the overall standing.

The rank is particularly impressive given the age of the game, which was released in 2017, and the fact that Fivem is a multiplayer modification that imposes unique performance demands. The high ranking suggests that this hardware combination is overkill for most Fivem scenarios, yet the data shows that even this powerful pairing cannot maintain 60+ FPS at 4K Ultra, highlighting the game’s scalability to high-end hardware.

Comparing the CPU and GPU contributions to the ranking, the processor’s near-top-tier benchmark scores (94th percentile) and the GPU’s strong but slightly lower percentile (86th) indicate that the CPU plays a slightly larger role in achieving this rank. This is consistent with Fivem’s known sensitivity to single-thread performance and per-core clock speeds, where the i7-14700K’s 5.60 GHz boost clock provides an advantage. The GPU’s 86th percentile, while still high, shows that there are faster graphics cards in the database, but the overall combo rank demonstrates that the pairing works well together for this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the AD103 chip with the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 45,900 million transistors. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2205 MHz with a boost clock of 2505 MHz, and its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1400 MHz with an effective data rate of 22.4 Gbps, yielding a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s across a 256-bit bus. These specifications position the card as a high-end part, and the measured performance in Fivem reflects its capabilities.

The GPU’s role in the measured FPS is most evident at 4K, where the pixel workload dominates. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 60 aligns closely with the card’s theoretical pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s, suggesting the render output units are the limiting factor. The texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s and FP32 throughput of 48.74 TFLOPS provide ample compute for the game’s shader work, but the 4K Ultra result indicates that the combination of resolution and quality settings saturates the available resources.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reinforce its position: a Passmark G3D score of 34457 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 263779. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6567 places it in context with other modern GPUs. The memory subsystem, with 16 GB capacity and high bandwidth, ensures that texture streaming and high-resolution assets do not cause stuttering, as evidenced by the stable minimum FPS at Medium settings. The GPU’s percentile of 86 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247, places it slightly above the RTX 4080 SUPER in average score, though the difference is marginal.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a full range of settings with distinct performance tiers. Low settings average 333 FPS, Medium averages 263 FPS with a range of 223 to 302 FPS, High averages 210 FPS, and Ultra averages 163 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 21% reduction, from Medium to High is a 20% reduction, and from High to Ultra is a 22% reduction, showing a consistent performance cost for each quality tier.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 219 FPS for Low, 173 FPS for Medium with a range of 147 to 199 FPS, 138 FPS for High, and 107 FPS for Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows reductions of 34% for Low, 34% for Medium, 34% for High, and 34% for Ultra, indicating a uniform penalty from the resolution increase across all settings.

At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 122 FPS for Low, 96 FPS for Medium with a range of 82 to 110 FPS, 77 FPS for High, and 60 FPS for Ultra. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows reductions of 44% for Low, 44% for Medium, 44% for High, and 44% for Ultra, again demonstrating a consistent resolution penalty. However, the absolute gaps between settings narrow at 4K: the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 170 FPS, at 1440p it is 112 FPS, and at 4K it is 62 FPS, showing that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target refresh rate and resolution. For 4K displays, the High preset at 77 FPS is the best balance, as it provides a 28% improvement over Ultra’s 60 FPS while maintaining visual quality above Medium’s 96 FPS. The Ultra preset at exactly 60 FPS is only suitable for displays with a 60 Hz refresh rate, and the Medium preset at 96 FPS offers a smoother experience with a 19 FPS advantage over High.

At 1440p, the High preset at 138 FPS is ideal for 120 Hz or 144 Hz displays, while the Medium preset at 173 FPS suits 165 Hz panels. The Ultra preset at 107 FPS is viable for 100 Hz displays, but the additional fidelity over High comes at a 22% performance cost. The Low preset at 219 FPS is excessive for most monitors and sacrifices too much visual quality for marginal gains.

At 1080p, the Medium preset at 263 FPS is the recommended starting point, as it provides a substantial jump over High’s 210 FPS while maintaining a stable frame pacing with a 223 FPS minimum. For competitive play, the Low preset at 333 FPS maximizes frame rate, but the data shows that the Ultra preset at 163 FPS is still well above the 144 Hz threshold, making it viable for high-refresh-rate displays. The measured minimum FPS of 223 FPS at 1080p Medium indicates that the system can hold high frame rates without significant dips, which is crucial for Fivem’s multiplayer interactions.
