Fivem

The data shows a significant performance bottleneck when pairing the Intel Core i7-14700KF with the AMD Radeon RX 580 in Fivem. The measured frames per second reveal that this combination struggles at higher resolutions, with the GPU emerging as the primary limiting factor. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions and settings, interprets the ranking against other tested combos, and answers common questions based strictly on the provided data.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, which is a classic indicator of GPU-bound performance. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 83.2 at 1080p to 58.7 at 1440p and further down to 33.9 at 4K. This represents a 59.3% reduction in average FPS when moving from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, showing that the RX 580's rendering capabilities are being taxed heavily by the increased pixel count.

The pattern becomes even more pronounced at higher quality presets. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 52.5 at 1080p to 34.6 at 1440p, then to 20.8 at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with average FPS dropping from 39.1 at 1080p to 26.7 at 1440p and finally to 17.4 at 4K. These figures indicate that the RX 580 cannot maintain playable frame rates at 4K regardless of settings, as even the lowest preset yields only 33.9 FPS.

The scaling behavior suggests that the Core i7-14700KF is not the bottleneck in this configuration. With 20 cores and 28 threads, the CPU has ample processing headroom, and its benchmark scores reflect that capability — the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 44557 places it in the 96th percentile among all CPUs. The consistent FPS drops across all settings as resolution increases point directly to the GPU as the limiting component, as the workload shifts from CPU-bound to GPU-bound at higher pixel densities.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 operates with a base clock of 1257 MHz and a boost clock of 1340 MHz, featuring 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications, combined with its 2304 shading units, define its performance envelope in Fivem. The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, and its Passmark G3D score of 8813 reflects its mid-range positioning.

The RX 580's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 with a deltaPct of 0, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 at 0.1% higher, the AMD Radeon Pro 455 at 1.1% higher, and the NVIDIA P106-090 at 1.1% lower. This tight clustering around the same average benchmark score of approximately 13559 indicates that the RX 580 performs in a narrow band relative to these comparable graphics cards, but none of them are positioned for high-refresh-rate gaming at modern resolutions.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the measured settings, but the raw processing power limits performance. The measured FPS at 1080p Medium (70.1 FPS) and Low (83.2 FPS) show that the GPU can deliver smooth gameplay at lower settings, but the step up to High (52.5 FPS) and Ultra (39.1 FPS) reveals diminishing returns. The data indicates that the RX 580's architecture, based on GCN 4.0 with a 14 nm process node, struggles with the more demanding visual effects enabled by higher presets in this multiplayer title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal balance between visual quality and playability occurs at 1920x1080 with Medium settings, delivering 70.1 FPS on average. This preset provides a substantial improvement over High settings (52.5 FPS) while maintaining a frame rate that comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The jump from Low (83.2 FPS) to Medium (70.1 FPS) costs only 13.1 FPS, making it a worthwhile trade-off for the visual enhancements.

At 2560x1440, the data shows that only Low settings achieve a playable frame rate at 58.7 FPS, while Medium drops to 41.4 FPS. Users targeting 1440p should stick with Low settings to stay near 60 FPS, as the Medium preset's 41.4 FPS may introduce noticeable stutter in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. The High preset at 1440p yields 34.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 26.7 FPS, both of which are below the threshold for responsive gameplay.

For 3840x2160, none of the measured settings deliver a playable experience. The best result is 33.9 FPS at Low settings, with High at 20.8 FPS, Medium at 25.5 FPS, and Ultra at 17.4 FPS. The data strongly suggests that 4K resolution is not viable with this combination in Fivem, and users should either reduce resolution or accept significantly compromised frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and AMD Radeon RX 580 achieves a combo rank of 1646 out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 8.1% of all tested configs. This ranking reflects the substantial mismatch between the high-end CPU and the mid-range GPU, where the processor's capabilities are largely wasted due to the graphics card's limitations.

The CPU itself ranks in the 96th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 70104. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14700K at 0% delta, the AMD EPYC 9115 at 0.3%, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X at -0.4%, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 at -1.3%. These figures show that the i7-14700KF performs essentially identically to the i7-14700K and is competitive with top-tier server and desktop processors.

In contrast, the RX 580's 53rd percentile ranking among GPUs, with an average score of 13559, places it far below the CPU's performance class. This disparity explains the low combo rank, as the GPU cannot translate the CPU's computational strength into higher frame rates in Fivem. The benchmark results indicate that this pairing is severely GPU-limited, and the overall combo performance reflects the weakest link in the chain.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values show a clear progression across settings. Low produces 83.2 FPS, Medium yields 70.1 FPS, High delivers 52.5 FPS, and Ultra provides 39.1 FPS. This represents a range of 44.1 FPS between the lowest and highest quality presets, with each step up in settings costing a significant number of frames.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS drops across all presets. Low achieves 58.7 FPS, which is the only setting above 60 FPS at this resolution. Medium produces 41.4 FPS, High delivers 34.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 26.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 32.0 FPS, showing an even steeper decline than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes marginal. Low settings yield 33.9 FPS, Medium produces 25.5 FPS, High delivers 20.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 17.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 16.5 FPS, but even the best result is far below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. The data across all resolutions confirms that this combo is fundamentally GPU-limited, with the RX 580 unable to maintain high frame rates as pixel count increases, regardless of the i7-14700KF's substantial processing power.
