Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that places unique demands on both processor and graphics card, and the measured results for the Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 show a configuration that scales predictably with resolution while remaining capable of high refresh rates at standard monitor resolutions. The data set provides average frame rates across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions, each tested at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings, offering a complete picture of how this combo behaves under varying loads.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals a steep performance curve that is typical for a high-end GPU being pushed by a pixel-heavy workload. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 210 FPS at 1080p to 138 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 34%, and then further down to 77 FPS at 4K, which represents a 63% decrease compared to the 1080p baseline. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 4080 is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, with the pixel throughput requirement at 4K nearly quadrupling the workload of 1080p.

Looking at the Low settings tier, the frame rate at 1080p reaches 333 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates when graphical load is minimal. At 1440p Low, the average drops to 219 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls to 122 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 44%, showing that even at Low settings, the resolution scaling remains significant. This is a clear indicator that the game's rendering pipeline becomes increasingly GPU-bound as pixel count rises, regardless of the visual complexity.

The Medium settings tier shows a similar trend, with 263 FPS at 1080p, 173 FPS at 1440p, and 96 FPS at 4K. The step from 1440p to 4K here is a 45% reduction, which is slightly less steep than the High tier's 44% drop but still substantial. Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates across all resolutions, with 163 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 60 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of exactly 60 FPS is notably lower than the High setting's 77 FPS, indicating that Ultra introduces rendering features that disproportionately impact the GPU's fill rate.

These results suggest that at 1080p, the CPU and GPU are relatively well balanced, with even Ultra settings maintaining above 160 FPS. At 1440p, the GPU begins to assert its dominance, but the configuration still delivers over 100 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as the frame rate drops below 100 FPS even on Medium settings, and Ultra dips to the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that users targeting 4K should expect to use High or lower settings to maintain smooth gameplay, while 1440p offers a sweet spot where High settings provide 138 FPS and Ultra still achieves 107 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node, featuring 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. The GPU has 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units, with a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. These specifications position the RTX 4080 as a high-end graphics card, and its benchmark scores reflect this, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6567 and a Passmark G3D score of 34457.

In Fivem, the GPU's memory capacity of 16 GB is likely sufficient for the game's open-world multiplayer environments, which can feature numerous player-created assets and modded content.

These deltas are minimal, suggesting that the CPU's performance is competitive with the latest offerings from both AMD and Intel.

The measured frame rates at 1080p Low, which reach 333 FPS, indicate that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this configuration at lower graphical settings. The fact that the frame rate drops significantly when moving to 4K, even at Low settings (122 FPS), confirms that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. However, the CPU's high core count and boost clock help maintain consistent frame rates in crowded multiplayer scenarios, which is a common characteristic of Fivem servers. The CPU's TDP of 125 W and support for ECC memory indicate it is designed for high-performance desktop use, and its unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking, which could further improve performance in CPU-bound situations.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For users with 1080p displays running at 144 Hz or higher, High settings provide an average of 210 FPS, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay, while Ultra settings at 163 FPS still comfortably exceed 144 Hz. The data suggests that 1080p users can safely use Ultra settings without sacrificing frame rate, as even the lowest average result across all settings tiers is above 160 FPS.

For 1440p displays, which are increasingly common among gamers, High settings offer the best balance between visual quality and performance, with an average of 138 FPS. This is sufficient for 144 Hz monitors, though users with 165 Hz or 240 Hz displays may prefer Medium settings, which average 173 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p produce 107 FPS, which is still playable but may not fully utilize high refresh rate displays. The data shows that Medium settings at 1440p provide a significant boost over High, with a 25% increase in average frame rate, while the visual difference between Medium and High is often less noticeable in fast-paced multiplayer games.

At 4K, the recommendations become more constrained. High settings average 77 FPS, which is above 60 FPS but may not be smooth enough for all users, especially in competitive scenarios. Medium settings average 96 FPS, providing a more comfortable margin above 60 FPS and allowing for some headroom in demanding scenes. Low settings at 4K achieve 122 FPS, which is ideal for 120 Hz 4K displays, but the visual compromise may be significant. Ultra settings at 4K produce exactly 60 FPS, which is playable but leaves no room for frame rate dips in busy areas, and the minimum frame rate data for Medium settings (82 FPS) suggests that Ultra could drop below 60 FPS in certain situations.

The best overall experience across the board appears to be Medium settings at 1440p, which delivers an average of 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and maximum of 199 FPS. This combination offers high frame rates, good visual fidelity, and consistent frame pacing, making it suitable for a wide range of displays. For users prioritizing visual quality over frame rate, High settings at 1440p or 4K provide a good compromise, with 138 FPS and 77 FPS respectively.
