Fivem

The Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers top-tier performance in Fivem, securing the top spot among 1,792 tested combinations. The benchmark data reveals a system that excels across all settings and resolutions, with frame rates ranging from a playable 67.6 FPS at 4K Ultra to an exceptional 384.3 FPS at 1080p Low. This analysis breaks down the measured results to understand the optimal settings, the roles of each component, and how this combo stacks against the competition.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data across the four quality presets at each resolution provides a clear picture of the performance envelope. For players prioritizing the highest possible frame rates without sacrificing visual fidelity, the Medium preset emerges as the most balanced choice. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 304 FPS, which is 64.3 FPS higher than High and 119.1 FPS higher than Ultra, while still maintaining a substantial improvement over Low’s 384.3 FPS. The pattern repeats at 2560x1440, where Medium achieves 198.5 FPS, a 41.1 FPS advantage over High and a 74.8 FPS lead over Ultra.

At 4K, the Medium preset again proves optimal, producing 108.4 FPS. This is 18.7 FPS faster than High (89.7 FPS) and 40.8 FPS faster than Ultra (67.6 FPS). The data indicates that Ultra settings impose a significant performance penalty across all resolutions, with the most dramatic drop occurring at 4K where the average falls from 108.4 FPS on Medium to 67.6 FPS on Ultra. This 40.8 FPS difference suggests that the Ultra preset’s additional graphical demands—likely including higher draw distances and more complex shading—are not proportionally reflected in visual quality gains for this multiplayer title.

Low settings provide the highest frame rates across the board, but the gains over Medium are modest compared to the visual trade-offs. At 1080p, Low yields 384.3 FPS versus Medium’s 304 FPS, a difference of 80.3 FPS. At 1440p, the gap narrows to 51.9 FPS (250.4 vs. 198.5), and at 4K it shrinks further to 30.9 FPS (139.3 vs. 108.4). Given that Medium already exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors, the extra headroom from Low is unlikely to be perceptible in real-world gameplay, making Medium the recommended preset for a balanced experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 serves as the primary graphics engine in this configuration, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process node. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s, which is more than sufficient for Fivem’s open-world environments and multiplayer interactions. The GPU’s boost clock of 2407 MHz and base clock of 2017 MHz drive its 21,760 shading units, resulting in a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s.

The benchmark results show that the RTX 5090’s compute capabilities are not the limiting factor at lower resolutions. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset sustains 184.9 FPS, while Low reaches 384.3 FPS. The GPU’s performance becomes more apparent as resolution increases, with the 4K Ultra result of 67.6 FPS representing the only instance where the GPU is clearly strained. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 84,306 places it in the 94th percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, scores 84,241, a negligible 0.1% difference. This indicates that the RTX 5090 is operating at the very top of its class, with no meaningful performance gap to the closest alternatives.

The 32 GB VRAM capacity is a notable asset for Fivem, which can feature extensive player-created content and large texture packs. While the measured FPS data does not isolate VRAM usage, the memory bandwidth and capacity ensure that texture streaming and draw calls do not introduce stutter, even at 4K Ultra where the GPU is most heavily loaded.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between components. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 239.7 FPS at 1080p to 157.4 FPS at 1440p, a 34.3% reduction, and then to 89.7 FPS at 4K, a further 43.0% reduction. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 5090 becomes progressively more dominant as pixel count increases, with the CPU’s influence waning at higher resolutions.

The Low settings results highlight the CPU’s capability at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the combo achieves 384.3 FPS, which suggests the Intel Core i7-14700KF is capable of feeding the GPU at extremely high frame rates. The drop to 250.4 FPS at 1440p and 139.3 FPS at 4K shows that the GPU begins to assert its limits as resolution increases. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution: at 1080p, the difference is 199.4 FPS (384.3 vs. 184.9), while at 4K it narrows to 71.7 FPS (139.3 vs. 67.6). This narrowing demonstrates that at 4K, the GPU’s rendering workload is the primary constraint, regardless of the quality preset.

The Medium preset exhibits the most consistent scaling behavior, with FPS values of 304 at 1080p, 198.5 at 1440p, and 108.4 at 4K. The percentage drops are nearly linear (34.7% from 1080p to 1440p, 45.4% from 1440p to 4K), suggesting that this preset provides a predictable performance curve that scales with resolution in a way that players can easily anticipate.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 achieves the top rank in Fivem, placing first out of 1,792 tested combos. This top-tier position is consistent with the individual component rankings: the CPU sits in the 96th percentile among all processors, and the GPU is in the 94th percentile among all graphics cards. The combo’s dominance is evident across all measured settings, with no other configuration tested in this database delivering higher average frame rates at any resolution or preset.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in the overall benchmark rankings include the Intel Core i7-14700K with an average score of 70,074 (0% delta), the AMD EPYC 9115 at 69,887 (0.3% slower), and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X at 70,420 (0.4% faster). These close margins indicate that the i7-14700KF is performance-competitive with the fastest processors available, though the differences are within 1.3%.

The rank of 1 out of 1,792 confirms that no other tested combination of CPU and GPU outperforms this pairing in Fivem. The data shows that this combo excels particularly at high refresh rate gaming, with 1080p Medium exceeding 300 FPS and 1440p High exceeding 150 FPS, making it suitable for the most demanding competitive multiplayer scenarios.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF provides the computational foundation for this build, featuring 20 cores and 28 threads based on the Raptor Lake-R architecture on a 10 nm process. Its boost clock of 5.60 GHz and base clock of 3.40 GHz drive the processor, which includes 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU’s benchmark scores are impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44,557 and a single-core score of 6,290, indicating strong performance in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer title with significant CPU overhead for network handling and world simulation, the CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities are crucial. The PassMark multithread score of 52,425 and the Geekbench multi-core score of 19,287 demonstrate the processor’s ability to manage multiple simultaneous tasks. The single-thread performance, evidenced by a PassMark single-thread score of 4,480 and Geekbench single-core score of 2,972, ensures that the game’s primary simulation thread does not become a bottleneck.

The CPU’s role becomes most apparent at 1080p Low settings, where the combo achieves 384.3 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the i7-14700KF can process game logic fast enough to feed the RTX 5090 at its maximum potential in this scenario. The CPU’s 96th percentile ranking among all processors, alongside its nearest rival the Intel Core i7-14700K with a nearly identical average score of 70,074, confirms that this processor is among the best available for gaming. The 0.3% advantage over the AMD EPYC 9115 and the 0.4% deficit to the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X show that the i7-14700KF sits at the apex of consumer desktop performance.
