Fivem

Fivem, as a multiplayer modification platform for Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance profile that shifts depending on the graphics preset and resolution. The data measured for the Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT reveals a system capable of high refresh rate gaming at lower resolutions, but one that is firmly constrained by the GPU at 4K. This analysis breaks down the benchmark results to provide a clear picture of what this combination offers.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal settings preset for this system is entirely dependent on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Low preset yields an average of 240.8 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. This makes it the best choice for competitive play or use with very high refresh rate monitors. The Medium preset still delivers a highly playable 190.6 FPS, offering a substantial visual upgrade over Low with only a 21% performance cost. For users prioritizing visual fidelity at 1080p, the High preset at 152.3 FPS remains fluid, but the Ultra preset drops to 119 FPS, which is still smooth but represents a 50.6% performance hit from Low.

At 2560x1440, the High preset provides the best balance, hitting an average of 97 FPS. This is above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a significant visual improvement over the Medium preset, which scores 124.4 FPS. The Low preset at 157.6 FPS is exceptionally fast but might not be necessary for most users at this resolution. The Ultra preset, at 79.9 FPS, is the only option that dips below the 80 FPS mark and sacrifices too much performance for the visual gains it provides relative to High.

For 3840x2160, the situation changes. The Low preset is the only one that ensures a consistently smooth experience, averaging 86.4 FPS. The Medium preset falls to 69.9 FPS, which is still playable but begins to show the strain on the GPU. The High preset at 53 FPS is on the edge of playability for users accustomed to 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset at 45.1 FPS is best avoided for a fluid experience. For 4K gaming, the data clearly points to Low as the recommended preset to maintain high frame rates, or Medium if a slight dip to around 70 FPS is acceptable.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is the primary driver of performance differences between presets. With 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus providing 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth, the card has ample resources for Fivem’s large, detailed world. The GPU’s architecture, RDNA 2.0, is built on a 7 nm process and features 4608 shading units. Its boost clock of 2250 MHz and game clock of 2015 MHz are the key frequencies that determine its output.

The benchmark data demonstrates the GPU’s influence through the scaling of frame rates with preset changes. At 4K, moving from Low (86.4 FPS) to Medium (69.9 FPS) is a 19% performance decrease, while moving from Medium to High (53 FPS) is a 24% decrease. This steep drop-off indicates that at 4K, the RX 6800 XT’s compute and fillrate capabilities are the limiting factor. The card’s 128 ROPs and 288 TMUs are being saturated by the increased resolution and visual complexity, leading to the observed frame rate declines. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 24980 in Passmark G3D and 3689 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 49982 puts it within a 2.6% margin of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, but 1.7% behind the NVIDIA RTX A1000, showing it is a high-tier performer that is ultimately outmatched at extreme resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all settings and resolutions. The following is a detailed breakdown of the average frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the system excels. The Low preset leads with an exceptional 240.8 FPS. The Medium preset follows with 190.6 FPS, a 20.8% drop from Low. The High preset delivers 152.3 FPS, a further 20.1% reduction. Finally, the Ultra preset produces 119 FPS, which is a 21.9% drop from High and a 50.6% drop from the Low preset. All four presets are playable, but the scaling is consistent.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are still high but show more variance. The Low preset maintains a strong 157.6 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 124.4 FPS, a 21.1% decrease. The High preset averages 97 FPS, a 22.0% decrease from Medium. The Ultra preset falls to 79.9 FPS, an 18.6% decrease from High. This results in a total 49.3% reduction from Low to Ultra, indicating that the GPU is beginning to handle a heavier workload.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens. The Low preset is the most viable option, averaging 86.4 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 69.9 FPS, a 19.1% decrease. The High preset averages 53 FPS, a significant 24.2% decrease from Medium. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, dropping to 45.1 FPS, a 14.9% decrease from High. From Low to Ultra, the performance falls by 47.8%, but the absolute numbers make the higher presets less practical.

Resolution Scaling

The impact of resolution is most pronounced when moving from 1440p to 4K. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 240.8 at 1080p to 157.6 at 1440p (a 34.5% decrease) and then to 86.4 at 4K (a 45.2% decrease from 1440p). This pattern holds across all presets, but the absolute frame rate floor is reached at 4K with the Ultra preset, which bottoms out at 45.1 FPS.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows the system’s strength. For example, at High settings, the drop from 152.3 FPS to 97 FPS is a 36.3% reduction. However, the jump from 1440p to 4K is more punishing. At High settings, the FPS falls from 97 to 53, a 45.4% reduction. This disproportionate drop at 4K is a clear indicator that the limiting component is the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. The GPU’s pixel throughput is being saturated, and the massive increase in pixel count from 3.7 million (1440p) to 8.3 million (4K) overwhelms its capabilities, preventing it from maintaining the frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The CPU is not the bottleneck here, as it can feed the GPU enough data; the bottleneck is the GPU’s rendering speed.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a high-end desktop processor with 20 cores and 28 threads, based on the Raptor Lake architecture. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz provide substantial single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6290. The processor’s large 33 MB shared L3 cache is beneficial for maintaining high frame rates in open-world games like Fivem.

The CPU’s benchmark scores show it is a top-tier part. It scores 44557 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 18713 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, placing it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 70104 is within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, which has an average score of 70420. This performance headroom means the CPU is rarely the limiting factor in the measured FPS data.

The evidence for this is in the resolution scaling. At 1080p with Low settings, the system hits 240.8 FPS, which is exceptionally high. If the CPU were a bottleneck, we would expect the frame rates to plateau across different resolutions. Instead, the FPS scales significantly with resolution, dropping by 45% from 1440p to 4K at Low settings. This indicates that the CPU is capable of processing the game’s simulation and draw calls quickly enough, and it is the GPU’s rendering workload that dictates the final frame rate. The Core i7-14700KF provides the necessary compute power to ensure the Radeon RX 6800 XT is the primary performance limiter, and it allows the GPU to reach its full potential at lower resolutions.
