GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the primary driver for Fivem's frame rate at higher resolutions. Its 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for the game's asset streaming at 1080p and 1440p but becomes a limiting factor at 3840x2160. The GPU's boost clock of 2497 MHz and base clock of 2280 MHz allow it to push significant pixel throughput, rated at 119.9 GPixel/s.

The benchmark results show a clear pattern: the GPU's performance degrades sharply as resolution increases. At 1080p, the RTX 5060 can output 200.2 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 95.5 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the frame rate plummets to 34.9 FPS on Ultra, indicating that the GPU's 19.18 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is insufficient for the pixel count. The GPU sits in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30109, placing it in the same performance tier as the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT.

The 4K results highlight a specific weakness: the 128-bit memory interface. While the GDDR7 memory is fast, the narrow bus width limits how much data can be moved, which directly impacts high-resolution performance. The data shows a 42% reduction in average FPS when moving from 1440p High (82.1 FPS) to 4K High (44.2 FPS), a steep drop that points to memory bandwidth constraints rather than raw compute limits.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 916th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the exact middle of the database, suggesting a balanced but not exceptional pairing for this title. The rank of 916 means that roughly half of the tested systems perform better and half perform worse, which is consistent with the GPU's mid-tier 73rd percentile standing.

The CPU is a high performer, sitting in the 96th percentile of all CPUs, but the GPU holds the combo back from a higher overall ranking. The i7-14700KF's average benchmark score of 70104 is nearly identical to the i7-14700K (70074), indicating that the combo's performance is not CPU-limited in most scenarios. The ranking suggests that users with this setup are getting performance that matches the GPU's tier, but they are not leveraging the CPU's full potential in this specific game.

The data implies that the combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the GPU can keep up with the CPU's output. However, for 4K, the system falls behind many other configurations that feature more powerful GPUs. The mid-pack ranking is a direct result of the GPU's 8 GB memory capacity and 128-bit bus, which are not ideal for Fivem's high-resolution demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers excellent performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 200.2 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings drop to 157.2 FPS, High settings yield 123 FPS, and Ultra settings still maintain a smooth 95.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 52% reduction in frame rate, but even the lowest value is well above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows more variation. Low settings average 129.9 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings produce 103.1 FPS, and High settings drop to 82.1 FPS. Ultra settings are the only setting that falls below 60 FPS, with an average of 64 FPS. This indicates that 1440p Ultra is playable, but users seeking a locked 60 FPS experience may need to adjust settings.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 71.1 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal. Medium settings drop to 55.4 FPS, High settings produce 44.2 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 34.9 FPS. The data shows that 4K gaming is not a viable option for this combo, as even the lowest settings cannot consistently maintain 60 FPS.

The frame rate deltas between resolutions are significant. At High settings, moving from 1080p (123 FPS) to 1440p (82.1 FPS) represents a 33% drop, and moving to 4K (44.2 FPS) represents another 46% drop. This pattern confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance remains constant regardless of resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, High settings at 2560x1440 provide the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. The 82.1 FPS average is smooth, and the visual upgrade from Medium is noticeable. This configuration allows the CPU to stretch its legs while keeping the GPU within its comfortable operating range.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings are the clear choice. The 95.5 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and users with 144Hz monitors will still see significant headroom. The data shows that the combo has enough performance to max out the game at this resolution without sacrificing playability.

For users who prioritize high refresh rates, 1920x1080 with Low settings is the best option, delivering 200.2 FPS. This is ideal for competitive play where frame rate is more important than visual fidelity. The jump from Low to Medium only costs 43 FPS, so Medium settings are also a strong choice for a balance of speed and quality.

At 3840x2160, the data does not support any settings recommendation for a consistently smooth experience. Even Low settings only achieve 71.1 FPS, which is below the 75 Hz refresh rate of many 4K monitors. Users with 4K displays should avoid this combo, or be prepared to use resolution scaling features that are not reflected in these measured results.
