Fivem

Fivem, in its multiplayer form, is notoriously demanding on system resources. The benchmark data for the Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti reveals a configuration that is exceptionally strong at high refresh rates, but begins to show its limits at 4K with maximum settings. The measured FPS indicates a system that is generally GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the powerful 20-core processor ensures that frame rates remain high even at lower settings where CPU overhead is more prevalent.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep but consistent with a high-end graphics card. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces an average of 192.7 FPS. Moving to 1440p reduces this to 123.6 FPS, a 35.9% decrease. At 4K, the average FPS falls to 71.5, which is a 62.9% drop from the 1080p result. This substantial scaling indicates that the game is becoming heavily reliant on the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth as pixel count increases.

The trend is even more pronounced at the lower settings. At Low settings, the system achieves 309.2 FPS at 1080p, 201.5 FPS at 1440p, and 113.6 FPS at 4K. The fact that the 4K Low setting still delivers over 100 FPS shows the raw power of the RTX 4070 Ti, but the relative performance gap between 1080p and 4K widens at lower settings, suggesting the CPU is less of a bottleneck when the load is light. Conversely, at Ultra settings, the 4K average drops to 51.5 FPS, which is a 66.1% reduction from the 152.1 FPS seen at 1080p. This severe drop at 4K Ultra points to the GPU being the primary limiting component, as the demand for pixel shading and memory throughput exceeds what the card can comfortably deliver for a smooth 60 FPS experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, with its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, provides a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key factor in the results. At 1080p and 1440p, the memory bandwidth is sufficient to feed the GPU's 7680 shading units, allowing for high frame rates. The card’s boost clock of 2610 MHz helps maintain these high numbers. However, at 4K Ultra, the data shows the card is overwhelmed. The 51.5 FPS average at 4K Ultra suggests that the combination of the 12 GB capacity and the 192-bit bus is insufficient for the most demanding settings, leading to a performance ceiling that prevents the system from hitting the 60 FPS mark.

The GPU's performance percentile of 85 versus all other GPUs places it in the upper echelon, but its nearest rivals show a close grouping. The data shows the RTX 4070 Ti has an average benchmark score of 44900, which is nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45152) and the Intel Arc A730M (45592). This indicates that while the card is powerful, it is not a top-tier outlier. In this game, the role of the GPU is clear: it is the dominant factor in performance scaling, and its 12 GB VRAM is adequate for High settings at 4K (71.5 FPS), but the Ultra preset demands more than the card can provide.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data offers a clear hierarchy for optimal play. At 4K, the High preset is the sweet spot, delivering an average of 71.5 FPS. This is a playable frame rate that balances visual fidelity with performance. Pushing to Ultra at 4K yields 51.5 FPS, a drop that is likely to cause noticeable stutter on standard 60 Hz displays. Reducing to Medium at 4K improves performance to 87.6 FPS, but the visual fidelity loss may not be justified if a 60 FPS target is the goal. The Low preset at 4K, while achieving 113.6 FPS, is not recommended as it sacrifices too much visual quality.

At 1440p, the situation is more flexible. The High preset achieves 123.6 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset also performs well at 99.5 FPS, making it the recommended choice for users who prioritize visual fidelity without compromising on smoothness. At 1080p, the system is so powerful that even the Ultra preset delivers 152.1 FPS. For competitive play, the Medium preset at 240.4 FPS or Low at 309.2 FPS offers the highest possible frame rates, but the High preset at 192.7 FPS is the best balance of image quality and speed for most users. The data suggests that for a 1440p high-refresh experience, Ultra is the clear choice, while 4K users should stick to High.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination ranks 199th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 11.1% of all configurations tested, a strong result that reflects the high-end nature of both components. The CPU itself has a percentile of 96 against all CPUs, indicating it is a top-tier processor for this workload. While the GPU’s percentile is 85, the pairing with the strong CPU ensures the system is well-balanced for this game.

The CPU's nearest rivals show interesting dynamics. The i7-14700KF has an average benchmark score of 70104, which is effectively identical to the Intel Core i7-14700K (70074) and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (70420). This means the CPU is not a differentiating factor in the ranking. The performance of this combo is therefore almost entirely dictated by the RTX 4070 Ti. The fact that the combo ranks 199th suggests that while it is a high performer, there are 198 other combinations that achieve higher average frame rates in Fivem, likely featuring more powerful GPUs.

FAQ

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system performs exceptionally well across all settings. The Low preset yields an average of 309.2 FPS, Medium produces 240.4 FPS, High delivers 192.7 FPS, and Ultra still manages a very playable 152.1 FPS. The scaling here is smooth, with a 51.3% drop from Low to Ultra, but the absolute numbers are so high that the experience is fluid regardless of preset.

At 2560x1440, the results remain impressive. The Low preset achieves 201.5 FPS, Medium produces 156.0 FPS, High delivers 123.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 99.5 FPS. The performance hit from Low to Ultra is 50.6%, mirroring the 1080p scaling, but the higher resolution demands more from the GPU, resulting in lower absolute numbers.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes the dominant factor. The Low preset achieves 113.6 FPS, Medium produces 87.6 FPS, High delivers 71.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 51.5 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 54.7%, and critically, the Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating a significant performance ceiling at this resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. In Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle the game logic, physics, and the complex data streams from other players in the multiplayer environment. The benchmark data shows that this processor is more than capable of keeping up with the GPU. The fact that the system can achieve 309.2 FPS at 1080p Low suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions, as the GPU is still able to produce massive frame rates.

The CPU's performance in synthetic benchmarks, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 44557 and a Passmark multithread score of 52425, confirms its high multithreaded capability. This is crucial for Fivem, which can be sensitive to CPU performance in populated servers. The processor's high single-thread performance, evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2972, also helps maintain high minimum frame rates. The data indicates that this CPU will not be the limiting factor in most scenarios; instead, the GPU will dictate the final frame rate, especially at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU's 96th percentile against all CPUs ensures it provides a solid foundation for the RTX 4070 Ti.
