Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that places unique demands on both processor and graphics hardware. Analyzing the measured frame rates for the Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT reveals a configuration that scales predictably with resolution and settings, though its overall standing in the database is surprisingly modest given the components' individual specifications.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and consistent progression of frame rates as resolution increases, which indicates a system that transitions from a CPU-bound state at 1080p to a GPU-bound state at 4K. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 127.1 FPS, which drops to 81.3 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 45.2 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 64.4% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, a substantial drop that suggests the graphics card becomes the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

The scaling pattern is particularly telling when examining the Low settings preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 200.4 FPS, but this falls to 134 FPS at 1440p and 72.6 FPS at 4K. The fact that 1080p Low nearly doubles the 4K High result indicates that the RX 6750 XT has ample headroom at lower resolutions but gets saturated when asked to render four times the pixels. Conversely, the relatively small gap between 1080p Low (200.4 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (97.1 FPS) suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is doing significant work to feed the GPU, and the frame rate is not purely a function of graphics load.

The transition from Medium to High settings at each resolution shows a consistent penalty of roughly 20-25 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 30-35 FPS at 1080p and 1440p. This indicates that the Ultra preset introduces effects that disproportionately impact the GPU, particularly at 4K where the Ultra setting yields only 37.3 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay in most scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700KF and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination sits at rank 852 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 47.6th percentile of all configurations, meaning roughly half of the tested systems perform better in this specific game. This ranking is notable because the CPU alone is in the 96th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is in the 79th percentile among all graphics cards. The combination of two above-average components results in a middling overall rank, which strongly suggests that Fivem's performance characteristics do not scale linearly with raw hardware capability.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i7-14700K, which scores 70074 compared to the 14700KF's 70104, a difference of 0%. The AMD EPYC 9115 trails by 0.3%, while the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X leads by 0.4%. These are all extremely close scores, indicating that the 14700KF is well within the expected performance envelope for a high-end desktop processor. The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern, with the AMD Radeon RX 5600M just 0.2% behind, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile 0.3% ahead, and the AMD Radeon 880M 0.9% ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 leads by 1.3%, which is a more meaningful gap but still relatively small.

The disparity between the component-level percentiles and the combo-level rank in Fivem points to the game's unique optimization profile. It is not enough to have a powerful CPU or GPU in isolation; the pairing must align with Fivem's specific engine demands, which appear to favor certain hardware configurations over others.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on a 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, with a 125 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. These specifications allow the CPU to handle substantial multi-threaded workloads, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and single-core score of 6290.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often involves complex scripting and physics calculations, the CPU's role is critical. The measured frame rates at 1080p Low (200.4 FPS) versus 1080p Ultra (97.1 FPS) show that even at the lowest graphics settings, the system cannot exceed 200 FPS, which is likely a CPU limitation given that the GPU would have significant headroom at 1080p Low. The single-core performance, as measured by Geekbench at 2972, is strong, but Fivem may not be fully optimized to leverage all 28 threads.

The PassMark multi-thread score of 52425 and single-thread score of 4480 further confirm that the CPU is capable of both high parallel throughput and strong single-threaded execution. However, the combo rank of 852 suggests that Fivem may not be particularly sensitive to CPU core count beyond a certain point, and the 14700KF's advantages over the field do not translate directly into frame rate gains in this specific game. The data indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck at 4K, where the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, but at 1080p, the CPU's performance ceiling appears to cap the maximum achievable frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers 200.4 FPS on Low settings, 161.2 FPS on Medium, 127.1 FPS on High, and 97.1 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 51.5% reduction in frame rate, which is a substantial penalty for enabling the highest quality presets. The step from Medium to High costs 34.1 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 30 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces particularly demanding effects.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are 134 FPS on Low, 103.1 FPS on Medium, 81.3 FPS on High, and 66.2 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings is approximately 33% across all presets, which aligns with the additional pixel count. The 1440p Ultra result of 66.2 FPS is playable but not ideal for competitive multiplayer scenarios where higher frame rates provide a tactical advantage.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls to 72.6 FPS on Low, 54.4 FPS on Medium, 45.2 FPS on High, and 37.3 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is only 37.3 FPS, which is below the 40 FPS threshold that most players would consider minimally acceptable for a smooth experience. Even 4K Low at 72.6 FPS is not particularly fluid, and the 4K High result of 45.2 FPS represents a marginal experience at best. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 48.6% reduction, slightly less severe than at 1080p, which further confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, using the Navi 22 chip manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units, with 40 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2150 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz and a game clock of 2495 MHz. Memory is 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 18 Gbps effective memory speed.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 26.62 TFLOPS of FP16 performance. The pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 416.0 GTexel/s. These specifications place the RX 6750 XT in the 79th percentile of all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 20700. The 4K results in Fivem show that the GPU struggles with the higher pixel counts, particularly at Ultra settings where the 37.3 FPS result is well below acceptable levels.

The memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s appears to be sufficient for this game, as the frame rate drops from 4K Low (72.6 FPS) to 4K Ultra (37.3 FPS) are not solely attributable to bandwidth limitations. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is unlikely to be exceeded at these settings, and the data suggests that raw compute throughput is the primary constraint. The GPU's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, leads by 1.3% in synthetic benchmarks, but in Fivem, the RX 6750 XT's performance at 4K Ultra (37.3 FPS) would likely be similar to the RTX 3080 given the small performance delta.
