Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers a remarkable performance spread across the three tested resolutions in Fivem. At 1080p, the frame rates are extraordinarily high, with the Low preset hitting 393 FPS and Ultra still managing 197 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the scaling is nearly linear for most presets, with High dropping from 254 to 167 FPS and Ultra from 197 to 130 FPS. However, the jump to 4K reveals a more pronounced bottleneck shift, as the High preset falls to 93 FPS and Ultra to 72 FPS. The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU’s 20 cores and 28 threads are keeping the GPU well-fed, but at 4K, the sheer pixel load begins to expose the RTX 5090 D’s limits, even with its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth.

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all settings, averaging roughly a 35% reduction. Yet the transition from 1440p to 4K is steeper, with High dropping by 44% and Ultra by 45%. This indicates that while the CPU remains a strong partner at lower resolutions, the 4K results are increasingly dictated by the GPU’s raw compute throughput. The RTX 5090 D’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is substantial, but the data shows that even this flagship cannot maintain triple-digit averages at 4K Ultra in Fivem’s multiplayer environments. The 14700K’s 5.60 GHz boost clock is clearly sufficient to avoid holding back the GPU at 1080p, where the 393 FPS Low result is among the highest in the database, but the 4K figures tell a story of GPU-bound performance, with the gap between Low (147 FPS) and Ultra (72 FPS) widening to over 100%.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1080p, the RTX 5090 D is rarely the limiting factor, with the Low preset achieving 393 FPS and Medium hitting 317 FPS. These numbers suggest that the CPU’s single-thread performance, evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2569, is more than adequate for Fivem’s engine at this resolution. The 1440p results continue this trend, with Low at 265 FPS and Medium at 209 FPS, showing only a moderate drop of 33% and 34% respectively from their 1080p counterparts.

The real inflection point occurs at 4K. The High preset falls to 93 FPS, a 44% drop from 1440p, while Ultra drops to 72 FPS, a 45% reduction. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is now the primary constraint, as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, demanding more from the 21760 shading units and 176 ROPs. The RTX 5090 D’s boost clock of 2407 MHz and base of 2017 MHz are clearly working hard, but the data shows that Fivem at 4K Ultra is a heavy lift, with the 72 FPS average falling below the 93 FPS High preset. Interestingly, the Low preset at 4K still manages 147 FPS, suggesting that the game’s engine scales well with reduced graphical load, but the gap between Low and Medium at 4K (147 vs 116 FPS) is narrower than at 1080p (393 vs 317 FPS), further confirming the GPU bottleneck.

Settings Recommendations

For players seeking the best balance of visual fidelity and smooth gameplay, the Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 317 FPS with a minimum of 270, ensuring no noticeable stutter on high-refresh-rate displays. At 1440p, Medium hits 209 FPS with a minimum of 178, which remains well above the 144 Hz threshold for most gaming monitors. Even at 4K, Medium achieves 116 FPS with a minimum of 99, making it the only preset that consistently stays above 100 FPS at the highest resolution.

The High preset offers a marginal visual upgrade but at a significant cost: 254 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p, and 93 FPS at 4K. While these numbers are still playable, the drop from Medium to High is roughly 20% at each resolution, which is a substantial sacrifice for what is likely a minor graphical difference in Fivem’s multiplayer scenarios. Ultra, on the other hand, is only recommended for 1080p gaming, where it maintains 197 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 130 FPS, and at 4K, it falls to 72 FPS, which may be too low for competitive play. The data indicates that Medium provides the most consistent experience, with the minimum FPS at 4K (99) still being higher than Ultra’s average at the same resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a monster of a graphics card, featuring a GB202 chip on TSMC’s 5 nm process with 92,200 million transistors. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a staggering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for high-resolution textures in Fivem. The card’s boost clock of 2407 MHz and base of 2017 MHz are relatively modest compared to its massive shader count, but the data shows that the card’s performance is more dependent on its parallel processing capabilities than raw clock speed. The RTX 5090 D’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the key driver behind its ability to push 393 FPS at 1080p Low, but the 4K results reveal that even this immense compute power is challenged by Fivem’s engine.

The GPU’s role is most evident in the 4K scaling. At 1080p, the 14700K can feed the GPU faster than it can render, leading to CPU-bound scenarios. However, at 4K, the pixel workload overwhelms the GPU, as evidenced by the 44% drop from 1440p to 4K on High settings. The RTX 5090 D’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT and NVIDIA Tesla P100, show that this card is in a league of its own in synthetic benchmarks, with an average score of 77712 and a 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs. Yet in Fivem, the 4K Ultra result of 72 FPS suggests that the game’s multiplayer code may not fully utilize the card’s capabilities, as the GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 14326 would typically predict higher performance in less CPU-intensive titles.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of 3707 tested combinations, this pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves a rank of 16th overall. This places it in the top half of one percent of all systems tested, which is an exceptional result given the game’s multiplayer nature and the potential for CPU bottlenecks. The 14700K’s nearest CPU rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and EPYC 9115, show negligible performance deltas of -0.2% and +0.1% respectively, meaning the Intel chip is effectively on par with the best alternatives. The RTX 5090 D’s nearest GPU rivals, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, have a delta of -1.6%, indicating that the NVIDIA card holds a slight edge in synthetic benchmarks.

The 16th place ranking suggests that while this combo is incredibly powerful, there are 15 other configurations that deliver higher average FPS in Fivem. This could be due to the game’s sensitivity to memory latency or specific CPU architectures that the 14700K doesn’t excel at. However, the data shows that this combo is more than capable of delivering a smooth experience at any resolution below 4K Ultra. The 14700K’s 94th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the RTX 5090 D’s 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs confirm that both components are top-tier, but their combination in Fivem yields a result that is slightly below the absolute peak, likely due to the game’s engine limitations rather than hardware deficiencies.

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. Its 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample fast storage for game data, and its 125 W TDP is reasonable for a desktop flagship. In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most critical at lower resolutions, where the 1080p Low preset achieves 393 FPS. This result is heavily dependent on the CPU’s single-thread performance, as Fivem’s multiplayer code often relies on a few main threads. The 14700K’s Geekbench single-core score of 2569 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2160 indicate strong per-thread capability, which is essential for maintaining high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck.

The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor, as evidenced by the relatively small drop from Low (393 FPS) to Medium (317 FPS) compared to the 4K results. This suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data to reach nearly 400 FPS, but the GPU’s rendering speed becomes the constraint at higher resolutions. The 14700K’s multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33440.5, is more than sufficient for any game, but Fivem’s engine appears to be single-thread bound. The CPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, has a nearly identical average score with a -0.2% delta, meaning that switching to a different high-end CPU would likely yield no significant improvement in Fivem. This indicates that the 14700K is a well-matched partner for the RTX 5090 D, providing enough single-thread speed to avoid limiting the GPU at 1080p and 1440p, while the GPU takes over as the primary constraint at 4K.
