Fivem

The Intel Core i9-14900K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a highly capable Fivem experience, but the data reveals a clear bottleneck: the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s immense power ensures strong performance at 1080p. This combination ranks in the 42nd percentile of tested combos, indicating that while it is not a top-tier setup, it offers solid, playable frame rates across most settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i9-14900K is a 24-core, 32-thread processor from the Core 14th Gen series, built on Intel’s Raptor Lake architecture using a 10 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.20 GHz and a boost clock of 6.00 GHz, which is a substantial range that allows it to handle both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 36 MB L3 cache. This configuration places it in the 95th percentile against all CPUs, underscoring its elite standing in synthetic benchmarks.

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often relies on server-side scripting and physics calculations, the CPU’s single-thread performance is crucial. The i9-14900K’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2262.5 and Geekbench single-core score of 2655 highlight its ability to handle the game’s primary thread efficiently. This is reflected in the measured FPS at 1080p, where the CPU is not the limiting factor. For instance, at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 175 FPS, and with High settings, it still manages 111 FPS. These numbers suggest that the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU with frames.

The processor’s multi-threaded capabilities are equally impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39399.5 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 21697. While Fivem may not fully utilize all 24 cores, this headroom ensures that background tasks, server communication, and other game logic do not cause stutters or frame drops. The Passmark multithread score of 58674 further confirms the CPU’s dominance in parallel workloads. Compared to its nearest rivals, the i9-14900K sits within a narrow band: it is 0.3% behind the Intel Core i9-14900KF, 0.6% behind the Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus, and 1.2% behind the AMD EPYC 7413, while being 1.7% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. These deltas are minimal, meaning the i9-14900K’s performance is effectively on par with the best alternatives in its class.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. It features a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU includes 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, along with 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. Its FP32 performance is rated at 9.062 TFLOPS, which is modest by modern standards but adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (1% slower), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (1.2% slower), the Intel Arc B570 (1.3% slower), and the Intel Arc A750 (1.5% slower). This positioning shows that the GPU is a mid-range performer, and in Fivem, it becomes the limiting component as resolution increases. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures at most settings, but at 4K Ultra, the GPU struggles, as evidenced by the measured 31 FPS average.

The GPU’s clock speeds and memory bandwidth are key to understanding its role. At 1080p, the GPU can keep up with the CPU’s output, but at 4K, the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become bottlenecks. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1440p, but at 3840x2160, the demand on memory increases significantly, leading to the observed frame rate drops. The GPU’s DirectX 12 Ultimate support ensures compatibility with modern rendering features, but Fivem’s engine may not fully utilize these capabilities, making raw rasterization performance the primary factor.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data clearly illustrates the scaling behavior of this combo across resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 175 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 with Low settings, the FPS drops to 116, a 34% reduction. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the FPS falls to 64, which is a 63% reduction from 1080p. This pattern indicates that the GPU is becoming increasingly strained as resolution increases, while the CPU has enough headroom to maintain performance.

Looking at High settings, the drop is more pronounced: 111 FPS at 1080p, 73 FPS at 1440p, and 40 FPS at 4K. This represents a 64% drop from 1080p to 4K, which is a steeper decline than the Low settings scenario. This suggests that at higher settings, the GPU’s shading and texture work load increases, and the 8 GB VRAM may also be a limiting factor at 4K. The Ultra settings show the most severe scaling: 86 FPS at 1080p, 57 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is barely playable, indicating that this combo is not suited for maximum quality at that resolution.

The data points to the GPU as the limiting component at 1440p and 4K. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the bottleneck in some scenarios, but the high FPS numbers suggest it is not a major issue. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution also highlights the GPU’s role. For example, at 1080p, the difference between Low (175 FPS) and Ultra (86 FPS) is 89 FPS, while at 4K, the difference between Low (64 FPS) and Ultra (31 FPS) is 33 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is saturated and cannot fully leverage the CPU’s power.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The Intel Core i9-14900K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combo is ranked 2138 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places it in the 42.3% percentile, meaning it outperforms roughly 42% of all tested combos. This is a mid-pack ranking, which is expected given the GPU’s mid-range status. The CPU is a top-tier part, but the GPU holds the combo back from achieving higher ranks.

To contextualize this ranking, consider that the CPU alone is in the 95th percentile, while the GPU is in the 65th percentile. The combo’s rank is dragged down by the GPU’s limitations. In a game like Fivem, which is CPU-intensive in its multiplayer logic, the i9-14900K provides a strong foundation, but the RTX 2070 SUPER cannot fully utilize that foundation at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo performs admirably, with FPS numbers well above playable thresholds. However, at 4K Ultra, the combo falls into the lower quartile of performance, making it unsuitable for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors at that resolution. The ranking suggests that users with this combo should target 1080p or 1440p for the best experience.
