Fivem

Fivem on the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 shows a clear pattern across its measured presets. The data indicates that the game scales heavily with settings, and the optimal choice depends on your target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, the Low preset pushes frame rates to 201.1 FPS, while the Medium preset delivers 159.9 FPS, both of which are serviceable for high-refresh displays. However, the High preset at 127.8 FPS offers a better balance of visual fidelity and performance, and it remains above the 120 FPS threshold. For 1440p, the High preset is the standout, delivering 79.5 FPS, which is a significant jump from the 67 FPS seen at Ultra settings. At 4K, the situation changes dramatically; the Low preset becomes the only playable option, hitting 73.8 FPS, whereas High dips to 47.1 FPS and Ultra falls to a stutter-prone 38.2 FPS. The best experience per the measured rows is the High preset at 1440p, as it provides a smooth frame rate without sacrificing the visual quality that makes the game world immersive. For 1080p users, High is also recommended, as it maintains a high frame rate while avoiding the potentially jarring visual downgrades of Low and Medium.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the primary driver of the performance differences seen across the resolution and settings matrix. Its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is a critical factor for a multiplayer title like Fivem that often loads large amounts of map data and player models. The benchmark results show a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher settings. At 4K, the frame rate drops from 73.8 FPS on Low to 47.1 FPS on High, a 26.7 FPS penalty that highlights the increased load on the GPU's shading units and memory subsystem. The card's boost clock of 2497 MHz and its 3840 shading units are put under considerable stress at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate plummets to 38.2 FPS. The data suggests that the RTX 5060, while capable at lower resolutions, struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with elevated presets. Its PassMark G3D score of 20891 places it in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 30109 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, which shows a delta of 0 percent in the nearest rivals list. This indicates that while the GPU is a solid mid-range performer, its 8 GB frame buffer and bus width become limiting factors when pushing high resolutions with demanding settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data illustrates a steep drop in performance as resolution scales up from 1080p to 4K. At the High preset, the average frame rate falls from 127.8 FPS at 1920x1080 to 79.5 FPS at 2560x1440, and then to 47.1 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 63% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, which is a substantial hit. The scaling pattern is consistent across all presets. For instance, on Low settings, the frame rate goes from 201.1 FPS at 1080p to 130 FPS at 1440p, and then to 73.8 FPS at 4K. This behavior strongly indicates that the system becomes increasingly GPU-limited as the resolution increases. The CPU, an Intel Core i7-14700K with 20 cores and 28 threads, is less likely to be the bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the rendering load shifts more heavily onto the graphics card. The data at 1080p, where the CPU has more influence, shows a maximum of 201.1 FPS on Low, suggesting that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well at lower resolutions. The drop from 1440p to 4K is particularly severe at the Ultra preset, where the frame rate halves from 67 FPS to 38.2 FPS, underscoring the GPU's inability to handle the pixel count at high fidelity.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate recorded for this combo?

A: The highest average frame rate is 201.1 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with the Low preset.

Q: How does the RTX 5060 compare to its nearest rival in terms of average benchmark score?

A: The RTX 5060 has an average benchmark score of 30109, which is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT's score of 30097, resulting in a delta of 0 percent.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the limiting factor at 4K Ultra?

A: At 4K Ultra, the average frame rate is only 38.2 FPS, and the severe drop from lower resolutions indicates the GPU is the limiting component, as the RTX 5060's 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus are stressed by the high pixel count.

Q: Which preset at 1440p provides the best balance of performance and quality?

A: The High preset at 2560x1440 delivers 79.5 FPS, which is significantly smoother than the 67 FPS from Ultra, making it the recommended choice for that resolution.

Q: What is the percentile ranking of the Intel Core i7-14700K among all CPUs?

A: The i7-14700K is in the 96th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 70074.

Q: Does the frame rate at 1080p High exceed the refresh rate of a standard 120Hz monitor?

A: Yes, at 1080p High, the average frame rate is 127.8 FPS, which is above the 120 FPS threshold, providing a smooth experience on such displays.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K serves as a robust foundation for the RTX 5060 in Fivem. With 20 cores (a mix of performance and efficiency cores) and 28 threads, its multi-threaded capabilities are substantial, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44534. The CPU's single-thread performance is also strong, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2932 and a Cinebench R20 single-core score of 2640, which is crucial for a game that may rely on single-threaded physics and scripting. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 201.1 FPS, suggesting that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower graphical loads. However, the CPU's influence wanes as resolution increases; at 4K, the frame rates are dictated almost entirely by the GPU's rendering ability. The i7-14700K's position in the 96th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 70074, puts it on par with the Intel Core i7-14700KF (delta of 0 percent) and slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, which has a delta of -0.5 percent. This indicates that while the CPU is a high-end part, its performance headroom is not fully utilized at 4K, where the GPU becomes the primary constraint. The processor's 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache likely help with maintaining consistent frame times in a multiplayer environment, but the measured FPS data confirms that the scaling bottleneck is on the graphics side for this title.
