Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti combination delivers a compelling performance profile in Fivem, though the data reveals a system that is heavily influenced by the game's unique multiplayer demands. The measured results show a clear hierarchy across resolutions, with the 1080p data suggesting the CPU is a primary driver of high refresh rates, while the 4K results indicate a shift toward GPU limitation. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, component roles, and ranking to provide a clear picture of what this combo offers.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces a dramatic reduction in frame rates, which is a classic indicator of where the performance bottleneck lies. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 226.3 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 147.3 FPS, representing a 34.9% decrease. At 4K Low, the average falls to 79.8 FPS, which is a 64.7% drop from the 1080p figure. This steep scaling curve suggests that at lower resolutions and settings, the system has ample headroom, but the GPU begins to struggle as pixel count increases.

The pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For High settings, the average FPS goes from 143.4 at 1080p to 96.1 at 1440p (a 33.0% decrease) and then to 49 at 4K (a 65.8% decrease from 1080p). The Ultra preset shows a similar trajectory: 110.6 FPS at 1080p, 71.8 at 1440p, and 41.3 at 4K. The fact that the percentage drops between 1080p and 1440p are consistently around 33-35% across all settings indicates a balanced scaling behavior.

However, the most telling observation is the difference between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution. At 1080p, the gap between Low (226.3 FPS) and Ultra (110.6 FPS) is a massive 115.7 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU far more frames than the GPU can render at higher settings. At 4K, the gap narrows to 38.5 FPS (79.8 vs 41.3), indicating that the GPU's rendering workload becomes the dominant factor, reducing the impact of the CPU's potential. The data implies that for 4K gaming, the RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB of VRAM and its compute capacity are the limiting components, while at 1080p, the i7-14700KF's 20 cores and 28 threads are more than sufficient to push very high frame rates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor 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, which is critical for many game engines. In Fivem, a multiplayer mod, the CPU often handles a significant portion of the simulation and network processing, making its multi-threaded capabilities equally important. The CPU's benchmark scores reflect its strength: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and a single-core score of 6290 place it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs tested.

The FPS data supports the idea that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at 1080p. With Low settings at 1080p producing 226.3 FPS, the processor is clearly delivering frames at a rate that exceeds what most monitors can display. Even at Ultra settings, the 110.6 FPS average suggests the CPU is still keeping up with the GPU's demands. The L3 cache of 33 MB (shared) and the 2 MB per-core L2 cache likely help in maintaining high minimum frame rates, though the data does not include min FPS values.

Comparing the i7-14700KF to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks shows it is essentially tied with the Intel Core i7-14700K (0% delta) and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (0.4% ahead of the 9950X). This indicates that the CPU's performance in Fivem is likely representative of top-tier desktop processors. The 125W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it is designed for enthusiast systems that prioritize frame rates over power efficiency, which aligns with the high FPS observed at lower resolutions. The data implies that for users targeting 240 Hz or higher refresh rates at 1080p, this CPU provides the necessary headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti ranks 700th out of 1792 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the 61st percentile of all combinations, which is a solid but not exceptional ranking. The ranking suggests that while this combo is capable of high frame rates, there are many other pairings that achieve better performance in this specific game.

The GPU's percentile rank of 74 compared to all GPUs is higher than the combo's overall rank, which suggests the CPU may be holding back the system in some scenarios, or that Fivem's multiplayer nature rewards certain CPU configurations more than others. The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700, is only 0.8% behind in average benchmark score, indicating that the RTX 3070 Ti is not overwhelmingly faster than its direct competitors. However, the combo rank of 700 out of 1792 is still within the top 40%, meaning it outperforms the majority of tested systems in Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip and features 6144 shading units. Its boost clock of 1770 MHz and 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provide a memory bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s. The GPU's FP32 performance of 21.75 TFLOPS and texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s are substantial, but the 8 GB VRAM capacity is a notable limitation for 4K gaming in modern titles.

The benchmark results show the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 41.3, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that most users consider playable. The drop from 1440p Ultra (71.8 FPS) to 4K Ultra (41.3 FPS) is a 42.5% reduction, which is a steeper decline than the CPU-bound scaling seen at lower resolutions. This indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti's compute and memory resources are being saturated at 4K with high settings.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 23356 and its 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs demonstrate that it is a mid-to-high-range performer. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700, is only 0.8% behind in average score, showing that the RTX 3070 Ti does not have a significant performance lead over its direct competition. At 1080p and 1440p, the GPU is capable of delivering excellent frame rates, with 1440p High achieving 96.1 FPS and 1440p Medium hitting 116.9 FPS. However, the data suggests that users seeking 4K performance should consider lower settings or a more powerful GPU.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 143.4 FPS offers an excellent balance of visual quality and performance, easily supporting 144 Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 181.1 FPS is also a strong choice for those prioritizing higher refresh rates, while the Low preset at 226.3 FPS is best for competitive play where maximum FPS is critical.

At 1440p, the High preset at 96.1 FPS is the recommended choice for a smooth experience on 100 Hz or 120 Hz displays. The Medium preset at 116.9 FPS provides an even better frame rate with only a slight reduction in visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 71.8 FPS is playable but may not be ideal for fast-paced gameplay, while the Low preset at 147.3 FPS is excellent for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors.

For 4K gaming, the data shows that the Low preset at 79.8 FPS is the only setting that consistently delivers playable frame rates above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 65.2 FPS is borderline, while High (49 FPS) and Ultra (41.3 FPS) are too low for a smooth experience. Therefore, the recommendation for 4K is to use Low or Medium settings to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for this combo in Fivem is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 226.3 FPS. Medium produces 181.1 FPS, High produces 143.4 FPS, and Ultra produces 110.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 147.3 FPS. Medium achieves 116.9 FPS, High reaches 96.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 71.8 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 79.8 FPS. Medium achieves 65.2 FPS, High reaches 49 FPS, and Ultra drops to 41.3 FPS.

The data shows a consistent pattern where each step up in settings (Low to Medium to High to Ultra) reduces the average FPS by a similar proportion at each resolution. The largest absolute differences between settings are seen at 1080p, where the gap between Low and Ultra is 115.7 FPS, while at 4K the same gap is only 38.5 FPS. This reinforces the conclusion that the CPU is the dominant factor at 1080p, while the GPU takes over as the limiting component at 4K.
