Fivem

Fivem on the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 lands at rank 97 out of 3,707 tested combos. That places this pairing in the top 2.6% of all systems benchmarked for this title, a strong showing that reflects the high ceiling of both components. The rank is not a perfect score, but it indicates that this combination outperforms the vast majority of setups while leaving a small margin for even more extreme hardware.

The data suggests a system that is exceptionally well-balanced for Fivem, with neither the CPU nor GPU acting as an obvious bottleneck in most scenarios. The rank is a composite measure of the measured frames per second across all tested resolutions and settings, and the consistency of the results points to a platform that handles the game’s multiplayer demands with authority. For a game that often relies on server-side performance, this rank underscores how much headroom the local hardware provides.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant force in this combo, and its specifications explain why it leads the measured results. The GPU comes equipped with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. This capacity is far beyond what most games need at any resolution, and it ensures that texture streaming and asset loading in Fivem’s open-world multiplayer environment never stall due to memory pressure.

Clock speeds are another highlight. The base clock sits at 2235 MHz, with a boost clock of 2520 MHz. These numbers are high for a flagship GPU, and they allow the card to maintain consistent throughput across the board. The memory clock is listed at 1313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective, which complements the wide bus to produce that 1.01 TB/s figure. In practice, this means the GPU can push data to the render pipeline without becoming a limiting factor.

The RTX 4090’s compute resources are equally impressive. It features 16,384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 176 raster operation processors. The FP32 performance is rated at 82.58 TFLOPS, a figure that dwarfs most other cards and directly contributes to the high frame rates seen in Fivem. The 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores also play a role, though Fivem’s workload is more traditional rasterization than ray tracing. The pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s are the raw metrics that translate into smooth gameplay at high settings.

In terms of benchmark standing, the RTX 4090 holds the 88th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 60,347. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Arc Pro A60 with a score of 60,326 and a delta of 0%, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 at 60,140 with a delta of 0.3%. The RTX 4090 leads these by a narrow margin in aggregate benchmarks, but the measured FPS in Fivem shows a much larger gap, indicating that the card’s real-world gaming performance exceeds its synthetic score relative to those workstation-oriented competitors.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, and the results tell a story about which component is doing the heavy lifting. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 368 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 242 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 135 FPS, another 44% cut. This steep decline as resolution increases is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario at lower settings, where the CPU has enough headroom to feed frames but the GPU’s rendering workload grows with each pixel.

The trend is similar at High settings, but the percentages tell a different tale. At 1080p High, the average is 232 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 153 FPS, a 34% decrease. At 4K High, the average is 85 FPS, which is a 44% drop from the 1440p figure. The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High suggests that the GPU is the primary limiter in both cases, with the CPU keeping pace regardless of the settings preset.

However, the Ultra preset shows a different behavior. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 180 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it falls to 119 FPS, a 34% decline. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 66 FPS, a 45% reduction. The Ultra numbers are lower in absolute terms, but the relative scaling is nearly identical to the other presets. This indicates that even with the most demanding settings, the RTX 4090 remains the limiting factor, and the i7-14700K is not holding the system back at any resolution.

The data also shows that the gap between 1080p and 1440p is larger than the gap between 1440p and 4K in percentage terms for some settings. For example, at Low settings, the 1080p to 1440p drop is 34%, while the 1440p to 4K drop is 44%. This nonlinear scaling is typical of a GPU that is nearing its limits at higher resolutions, but the RTX 4090 still manages to deliver playable frame rates at 4K across all settings, which confirms its raw power.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high. The Low preset yields an average of 368 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this combo. Medium settings produce an average of 290 FPS, with a minimum of 247 and a maximum of 334. High settings drop to 232 FPS on average, while Ultra brings it down to 180 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of pushing well beyond the refresh rate of most monitors, even at the most demanding preset.

The 2560x1440 resolution shows a step down but remains impressive. Low settings average 242 FPS, Medium averages 191 FPS with a range of 163 to 220, High averages 153 FPS, and Ultra averages 119 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p is particularly noteworthy, as it maintains a minimum above 160 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate gaming. The Ultra preset at 1440p, with 119 FPS on average, is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the performance is lower but still robust. Low settings average 135 FPS, Medium averages 106 FPS with a minimum of 90 and a maximum of 122, High averages 85 FPS, and Ultra averages 66 FPS. The 4K Medium preset is the only one with a recorded minimum and maximum, and the 90 FPS minimum ensures that there are no major stutters. The 4K Ultra preset, at 66 FPS on average, is the only configuration that dips close to the 60 FPS line, but it still holds above it.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: Low is the fastest, followed by Medium, then High, and Ultra is the slowest. The Medium preset consistently shows the tightest range between minimum and maximum FPS, suggesting that it offers a stable experience without the extreme variance seen in other presets. The High preset at 4K, with 85 FPS, is a solid middle ground, while the Ultra preset at 1080p, at 180 FPS, is the most demanding setting that still delivers high frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual fidelity for most users. At 1080p Medium, the average is 290 FPS, which is 78 FPS higher than High and 110 FPS higher than Ultra. The minimum of 247 FPS at 1080p Medium is higher than the average of the High preset, which means that even the worst-case frame times are better than what you would get from a higher preset.

At 1440p, the Medium preset averages 191 FPS with a minimum of 163 FPS. This is a significant step above High’s 153 FPS average and Ultra’s 119 FPS average. The 163 FPS minimum ensures that the experience remains fluid even in busy multiplayer scenes, which is critical for a game like Fivem where other players’ actions can cause sudden frame drops. The Medium preset provides a 28 FPS advantage over High in average terms, and the minimum is 10 FPS higher than High’s average.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the clear winner for those who want high frame rates without sacrificing too much visual quality. It averages 106 FPS, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS. This is 21 FPS faster than High and 40 FPS faster than Ultra. The 90 FPS minimum is above the 60 FPS threshold, making it suitable for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate 4K displays. The High preset at 85 FPS is playable but leaves less headroom, while the Ultra preset at 66 FPS is only recommended for those who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate.

For competitive play, the Low preset is the best choice. At 1080p, it delivers 368 FPS, which is 78 FPS faster than Medium. At 1440p, it achieves 242 FPS, a 51 FPS advantage over Medium. At 4K, it reaches 135 FPS, which is 29 FPS faster than Medium. The Low preset maximizes responsiveness, but it comes at the cost of visual detail, which may not be ideal for all players. The Medium preset is the recommended default because it offers the best combination of high average FPS and stable minimums across all resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It has a 33 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. In Fivem, a game that is known to be sensitive to CPU performance in multiplayer scenarios, this processor plays a critical role in maintaining high frame rates even when the GPU is not the bottleneck.

The CPU’s benchmark results show it is a top-tier performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 33,440.5 in multi-core and 2,160 in single-core. In Geekbench, it scores 20,767 in multi-core and 2,569 in single-core. These numbers place it in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 69,355. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X with a score of 69,515 and a delta of -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX with a score of 69,875 and a delta of -0.7%. The i7-14700K trails these by a small margin, but the difference is negligible in real-world gaming.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU’s influence is most apparent at 1080p with Low settings, where the average reaches 368 FPS. At this resolution and setting, the GPU is not heavily taxed, and the CPU’s single-thread performance determines the maximum frame rate. The boost clock of 5.60 GHz is a key factor here, as Fivem relies on fast single-core execution for game logic and server communication. The high clock speed allows the CPU to process frames quickly enough to keep up with the GPU’s output.

The CPU’s role becomes less prominent at higher resolutions, where the GPU takes over as the primary limiter, but it still provides enough headroom to avoid any CPU-induced stutters. The 20 cores and 28 threads ensure that background tasks and other processes do not interfere with the game’s performance. The 33 MB L3 cache also helps with data locality, reducing the time the CPU spends waiting for memory. Overall, the i7-14700K is a perfect match for the RTX 4090 in this game, delivering the high single-thread performance needed for Fivem while offering enough multi-core muscle for any other workload.
