Fivem

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It carries 33 MB of shared L3 cache, alongside 2 MB of L2 per core and 80 KB of L1 per core. In a multiplayer title like Fivem, which often has to simulate numerous entities and players simultaneously, the combination of high core count and high boost clock is typically beneficial for maintaining consistent frame pacing, especially when the GPU is not the primary constraint.

The benchmark data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the CPU is able to push the average FPS to 159. This is a significant figure because it indicates that even with a relatively modest GPU load, the processor has enough headroom to feed frames at a high rate. The single-thread performance is strong, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6235, and the multi-core score of 44167 shows that the processor can handle heavy background tasks while gaming. In comparison to its nearest rivals, the i7-14700KF's average benchmark score of 70163 places it 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F, 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, and 0.9% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X. It trails the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K by 1%. These margins are tight, suggesting that within this performance bracket, CPU differences are not the dominant factor in Fivem's frame rate when the GPU is heavily loaded.

The CPU's role becomes clearer when examining the scaling from Low to Ultra settings at a fixed resolution. At 1080p, the average FPS drops from 159 on Low to 78 on Ultra. That 81 FPS drop is substantial and indicates that as settings increase, the workload shifts to the GPU, but the CPU is still capable of delivering well above 60 FPS even at the highest preset. The data shows that the processor is not a bottleneck at 1080p Ultra, as the GPU is likely the limiting factor there. However, the CPU's high clock speed and robust multi-threading are what allow the system to reach those high frame rates at lower settings, where the GPU has less work to do per frame.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is a RDNA 2.0 graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1968 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz and a boost clock of 2589 MHz. The card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. In Fivem, which is a modded multiplayer variant of Grand Theft Auto V, the GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth are often critical, especially at higher resolutions where textures and draw distances are pushed.

The measured FPS data shows the GPU's limitations at 4K. At 3840x2160, the average frame rate on High settings is 37 FPS, which dips to 28 FPS on Ultra. This is a clear sign that the 8 GB VRAM buffer and the card's raw compute power (10.60 TFLOPS FP32) are insufficient for smooth 4K gameplay in this title. Even on Low settings at 4K, the average FPS only reaches 58, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider playable. The GPU's performance relative to its rivals is interesting; its average benchmark score of 24442 is 0.7% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630, 0.8% higher than the GTX 780 Ti, and 1.1% higher than the RTX 2080 SUPER, while being 0.8% lower than the Intel Arc A350M. These are very close scores, indicating that the RX 6600 XT sits in a specific performance tier.

The GPU's role becomes more dominant as resolution increases. At 1440p, the card manages 66 FPS on High and 105 FPS on Low, showing that it is still capable of delivering playable frame rates at this resolution. The transition from 1080p to 1440p to 4K shows a clear degradation in performance, which aligns with the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute capabilities. The card's 8 GB VRAM is likely a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS of 28 is below playable standards. The data suggests that this GPU is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem, with the CPU providing enough headroom to avoid bottlenecking at those resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how the system scales across resolutions. Starting at 1080p with High settings, the average FPS is 100. Moving to 1440p High drops the average to 66 FPS, a 34% reduction. Going from 1440p to 4K High brings the average down to 37 FPS, a further 44% reduction. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component as resolution increases. The CPU's performance is relatively constant, but the GPU's workload grows exponentially with pixel count.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The system achieves 159 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 105 FPS at 1440p (a 34% decrease) and then to 58 FPS at 4K (a 45% decrease from 1440p). This consistent percentage drop across settings suggests that the GPU is struggling to keep up with the pixel throughput requirements at higher resolutions, regardless of the graphical complexity. The fact that 4K Low (58 FPS) is significantly lower than 1080p Ultra (78 FPS) highlights that resolution has a larger impact on performance than settings do in this configuration.

The limiting component is clearly the GPU at 4K, as even the lowest settings cannot reach 60 FPS. At 1080p, the system is more balanced; the CPU can push high frame rates, and the GPU can handle the load. The data shows that the i7-14700KF is not a bottleneck at any tested resolution, as the frame rate drops are directly proportional to the increase in pixel count. This is typical behavior for a high-end CPU paired with a mid-range GPU. The medium settings data, which includes min and max FPS, shows that at 1080p Medium, the system ranges from 107 to 144 FPS with an average of 126, while at 4K Medium, it ranges from 39 to 53 FPS with an average of 46. The min FPS at 4K being 39 indicates that there are moments of significant frame drops, further confirming that the GPU is under heavy strain.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 1080p, all settings presets are playable, but the Medium preset offers a strong balance. The average FPS of 126 at 1080p Medium is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and the min FPS of 107 ensures that there are no major stutters. High settings at 1080p yield 100 FPS average, which is also good, but Medium provides a higher margin of safety for multiplayer scenarios where frame drops can occur. Ultra at 1080p still delivers 78 FPS, but the jump from Medium to Ultra only increases visual fidelity modestly while reducing performance by 38%.

At 1440p, the Medium preset again appears to be the sweet spot. The average FPS of 83 with a min of 70 provides a smooth experience, while High drops to 66 FPS average, which is still playable but with less headroom. Low at 1440p offers 105 FPS, but the visual quality reduction is significant. Ultra at 1440p drops to 51 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS target and may result in noticeable judder in fast-paced multiplayer action. For 1440p, Medium is the recommended preset, as it maintains high frame rates while keeping the game looking reasonably detailed.

At 4K, the data paints a less optimistic picture. The best average FPS at 4K is 58 on Low settings, which is just below the 60 FPS target. Medium at 4K averages 46 FPS with a min of 39, which is likely to feel choppy. High and Ultra at 4K average 37 and 28 FPS respectively, which are not recommended for smooth gameplay. For 4K, the only viable option is Low settings, and even then, the experience will not be fully smooth. The data suggests that 4K is not a practical resolution for this combo in Fivem, and users should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.
