Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti produces a severely GPU-bound experience in Fivem, ranking 1788th out of 1792 tested combos. The data shows this pairing is only viable at 1080p with Low settings, where it achieves an average of 61.6 FPS, while every other configuration falls below 60 FPS. The Core i7-14700KF’s high multi-core throughput is entirely wasted by the GTX 1050 Ti’s limited 4 GB VRAM and 2.138 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combo for this pairing?

A: The only configuration achieving a playable average above 60 FPS is 1920x1080 with Low settings, hitting 61.6 FPS. All other tested settings and resolutions fall below this threshold.

Q: How does the GTX 1050 Ti perform relative to its peers?

A: The GPU sits in the 30th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 5316. Its closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce 930A, which scores 5317, a delta of 0%.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in Fivem?

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 8.6, while the CPU’s benchmark scores (e.g., 44557 in Cinebench R23 multi-core) indicate it has ample headroom. The GTX 1050 Ti’s 4 GB VRAM and 112.1 GB/s bandwidth constrain performance.

Q: What is the FPS penalty from 1080p Low to 1080p Ultra?

A: Moving from Low (61.6 FPS) to Ultra (32.4 FPS) at 1080p results in a 29.2 FPS drop, a reduction of roughly 47%. This shows the GPU struggles with higher presets even at the lowest resolution.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: It ranks 1788th out of 1792 combinations, placing it in the bottom 0.2% of all tested pairings. This indicates the GPU severely limits the overall experience.

Q: What is the CPU’s standing in the benchmark database?

A: The i7-14700KF scores in the 96th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 70104. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-14700K, scores 70074, a delta of 0%.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is the dominant performance limiter in this pairing. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 112.1 GB/s of bandwidth, which is insufficient for Fivem’s higher settings and resolutions. The GPU’s base clock of 1291 MHz and boost clock of 1392 MHz, combined with 768 shading units, produce a texture rate of 66.82 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 44.54 GPixel/s. These specifications translate to a PassMark G3D score of 6340, placing it in the 30th percentile of all GPUs.

The data shows the GTX 1050 Ti’s compute capabilities are also weak: its FP32 performance is 2.138 TFLOPS, and its DirectX 12 PassMark score is just 26. This explains why Fivem’s Ultra preset, which likely taxes shader and geometry throughput, drops to 8.6 FPS at 4K. Even at 1080p, the GPU cannot maintain 60 FPS on Medium, averaging 48.1 FPS. The 7 Gbps effective memory speed and 1752 MHz memory clock are fixed hardware limits that no CPU can overcome. The GPU’s 75 W TDP and lack of power connectors indicate it is designed for low-power systems, further confirming its role as the bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks 1788th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 0.2%. Such a low rank is driven entirely by the GPU, which scores in the 30th percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU scores in the 96th percentile. The delta between the combo’s performance and the top-ranked systems is immense, but the data does not provide specific rival combo scores. The nearest GPU rivals, such as the NVIDIA GeForce 930A (avg score 5317, delta 0%) and AMD Radeon R7 240 (avg score 5280, delta 0.7%), show the GTX 1050 Ti is barely ahead of entry-level mobile and desktop parts.

In contrast, the CPU’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (avg score 70420, delta -0.4%), underscore the mismatch. The i7-14700KF is a top-tier processor, but its 20 cores and 28 threads are irrelevant when the GPU cannot render frames quickly enough. The combo’s rank suggests that Fivem’s performance is almost exclusively GPU-bound, as the CPU’s percentile rank would otherwise lift the pairing substantially higher.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a clear hierarchy: Low settings deliver 61.6 FPS, Medium drops to 48.1 FPS, High falls to 37.0 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 32.4 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease to 37.9 FPS (Low), 33.0 FPS (Medium), 22.7 FPS (High), and 18.6 FPS (Ultra). At 3840x2160, the performance collapses: Low yields 23.4 FPS, Medium 20.7 FPS, High 11.5 FPS, and Ultra just 8.6 FPS.

The data reveals that the GTX 1050 Ti cannot handle 1440p or 4K at any setting for a smooth experience. Even at 1440p Low, the 37.9 FPS average is below the 60 FPS target. The 1080p Low result of 61.6 FPS is the sole playable configuration, and it barely clears the threshold. The gap between 1080p Low and 1440p Low is 23.7 FPS, demonstrating the GPU’s sensitivity to resolution increases. The Ultra preset at 1080p (32.4 FPS) is only slightly faster than 1440p Low (37.9 FPS), indicating that settings have a similar impact to resolution changes.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is severe and consistent across all settings. At Low, the average falls from 61.6 FPS at 1080p to 23.4 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 38.2 FPS (62%). At Medium, the drop is from 48.1 to 20.7 FPS, a 27.4 FPS decrease (57%). High settings see a decline from 37.0 to 11.5 FPS, a 25.5 FPS drop (69%), while Ultra falls from 32.4 to 8.6 FPS, a 23.8 FPS reduction (73%).

These scaling patterns indicate a heavily GPU-limited scenario. The i7-14700KF’s performance is constant regardless of resolution, so the FPS declines are attributable to the GTX 1050 Ti’s fill rate and memory bandwidth. The 4 GB VRAM is likely exceeded at 4K with higher settings, causing additional performance loss. The fact that 4K Low (23.4 FPS) is only slightly better than 1440p Ultra (18.6 FPS) suggests that resolution scaling is not linear; the GPU’s compute shaders and ROPs are overwhelmed at high pixel counts. The data confirms that the GTX 1050 Ti is the sole limiting component, as no CPU can compensate for the GPU’s inability to process pixels at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show that Low settings at 1080p is the only configuration delivering an average above 60 FPS, hitting 61.6 FPS. This is the recommended preset for playable performance. Medium at 1080p (48.1 FPS) is a compromise, offering better visual quality but sacrificing 13.5 FPS compared to Low. High at 1080p (37.0 FPS) and Ultra at 1080p (32.4 FPS) are not recommended, as they dip below 40 FPS, which can feel stuttery in a multiplayer game like Fivem.

At 1440p, even Low (37.9 FPS) fails to reach 60 FPS, so users should avoid this resolution entirely. The 4K results are uniformly poor, with the highest average being 23.4 FPS at Low. The data suggests that the GTX 1050 Ti’s 4 GB VRAM and 112.1 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for Fivem’s open-world multiplayer environment at higher presets. For the best experience, stick to 1080p Low; the jump to Medium provides only a marginal visual improvement at a significant FPS cost.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a high-end processor with 20 cores (8 performance and 12 efficiency, based on its core count) and 28 threads, boosting up to 5.60 GHz from a 3.40 GHz base clock. Its 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample data throughput for gaming workloads. The CPU’s benchmark results are exceptional: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 44557, single-core 6290, and Geekbench multi-core 19287. It ranks in the 96th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 70104.

However, in this pairing, the CPU’s capabilities are largely unused. Fivem’s measured FPS shows that the GTX 1050 Ti is the bottleneck at every resolution and setting. For example, at 1080p Low, the CPU could theoretically drive much higher frame rates, but the GPU’s 2.138 TFLOPS of FP32 compute limits output to 61.6 FPS. The CPU’s nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-14700K (delta 0%), performs identically in synthetic tests, confirming that the i7-14700KF is not the limiting factor. The data indicates that upgrading the GPU would yield substantial FPS gains, while the CPU would remain underutilized. In Fivem, this processor is overkill for the GTX 1050 Ti, and the combo’s low rank (1788th of 1792) is a direct consequence of the GPU’s 30th percentile standing.
