# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core i7-14700KF + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

The benchmark data for Fivem with the Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 shows a system that scales predictably across resolutions and settings, with the measured frames per second ranging from a low of 53.2 at 4K Ultra to a high of 281.4 at 1080p Low. This combination ranks 365th out of 1792 tested combos, placing it in the top 20% of configurations for this multiplayer title. The CPU, with its 20 cores and 28 threads running at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost of 5.60 GHz, demonstrates strong single-thread performance that matters for this game's simulation logic, while the GPU's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth handle the rendering load effectively across all tested settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals a clear progression in frame rates as settings are adjusted, and the optimal preset depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 174.4 average FPS, which is a substantial 29.2% improvement over the 135.1 FPS seen at Ultra, while still maintaining a smooth experience far above typical display refresh rates. The Medium preset at 221.9 FPS offers an even larger margin, but the visual fidelity loss may not justify the extra 47.5 FPS over High for most users. For competitive play where maximum frame rates matter, the Low preset at 281.4 FPS provides the headroom needed, though it represents a 61.2% increase over High that may be unnecessary on standard 144Hz monitors.

At 1440p, the High preset at 116.6 FPS emerges as the balanced recommendation, sitting comfortably above the 92.7 FPS of Ultra while still delivering the visual quality most players expect. The Medium preset at 145.6 FPS is viable for those prioritizing smoothness, but the jump from High to Medium only yields 29.0 FPS, which is less impactful than the 24.0 FPS difference between High and Ultra. For 4K gaming, the data shows that High at 61.9 FPS is the practical ceiling for a consistent 60 FPS experience, as Ultra drops to 53.2 FPS and Medium falls to 83.5 FPS but with diminishing visual returns. The Low preset at 101.1 FPS is technically the smoothest 4K option, but it undermines the purpose of high-resolution rendering.

The best overall experience per the measured rows is the High preset at 1440p, which balances the 116.6 FPS average against the visual quality demands of modern multiplayer environments. This setting avoids the steep performance cliff seen at Ultra while providing sufficient detail for immersive gameplay.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its boost clock of 5.60 GHz is the key specification for Fivem, as this multiplayer game relies heavily on single-thread performance for physics simulation and network tick processing. The CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6290 and Geekbench single-core score of 2972 reflect this strength, and the PassMark single-thread result of 4480 confirms solid per-core throughput.

The processor's 33 MB of shared L3 cache provides ample fast storage for frequently accessed game data, while the 2 MB per-core L2 cache reduces latency for the main simulation thread. The CPU's 125 W TDP indicates a power envelope that allows sustained boost clocks under gaming loads, which is crucial because Fivem's frame pacing depends on consistent CPU response times rather than raw multi-core throughput.

The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 281.4 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited in parts of the game world where many players congregate. The CPU's PassMark multithread score of 52425 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 44557 indicate that even when multiple background processes compete for resources, the game thread can maintain high utilization. The 28 threads also help when the game spawns numerous AI-driven entities, as seen in busy server scenarios, but the single-core scores are the better predictor of Fivem's performance ceiling.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is characteristic of GPU-bound workloads. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average FPS drops from 174.4 to 116.6, a 33.1% reduction. Continuing to 4K High, the FPS falls to 61.9, representing another 46.9% decrease from the 1440p figure. This steep scaling curve indicates that the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but become strained at 4K Ultra.

The Low settings row shows even more dramatic scaling: 281.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 184.0 FPS at 1440p (34.6% reduction) and then to 101.1 FPS at 4K (45.1% reduction). This suggests that even at minimal graphics load, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth impose a hard limit at higher resolutions. The Ultra settings exhibit the largest percentage drop, falling from 135.1 FPS at 1080p to 92.7 FPS at 1440p (31.4%) and then to 53.2 FPS at 4K (42.6% from 1440p).

The scaling pattern across all settings indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component at 4K, while the CPU's influence is more visible at 1080p where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. The 20-core CPU with its 5.60 GHz boost clock can feed the GPU efficiently at lower resolutions, but the rendering pipeline becomes the bottleneck as pixel count increases.
