FAQ
Q: What is the combo rank for this Intel Core i5-14400F and RTX 4080 pairing?
A: The database registers this pair at rank 231 out of 3,700 combos in the Fortnite benchmark pool.
Q: What does the measured data show for the Video RAM on the RTX 4080?
A: The GPU carries 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. Effective base and boost clocks are 2205 MHz and 2505 MHz respectively, and the memory operates at 22.4 Gbps effective.
Q: Are the integrated graphics of the CPU used in the measurement?
A: No. The i5-14400F has "N/A" for integrated graphics; all measured frames come from the discrete RTX 4080. The CPU's inefficiency in this data set is purely Raptor Lake desktop design with 10 cores and 16 threads.
Q: Which CPU score places it among competitor monikers?
A: The i5-14400F shows a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21,645 and single-core score of 3,055. Its PassMark multithread score is 25,470 and PassMark single thread scores 3,701. The CPU belongs to the 83rd percentile across all CPUs.
Q: Is there a minimum FPS reference in the measured results for every preset?
A: No. Only the Medium preset across all three resolutions records min and max averages. For example, at 2560x1440 Medium the average is 194 FPS with a min of 165 and max of 223; at 1920x1080 Medium the average is 304 with a min of 259 and max of 350.
Q: How does the RTX 4080 rank against its nearest peers?
A: The GPU lands in the 86th percentile, with an average benchmark score of 54,247. The chip-sectional tests show a delta: the RTX 4080 SUPER (avg 54,209) is 0.1% slower; the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (avg 55,698) is 2.6% faster; and the AMD Radeon 8060S (avg 55,757) is 2.7% faster.
GPU Role
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 uses the AD103 die on 5 nm process, assembled by TSMC, with 45.9 billion transistors across a 379 mm² area. It feeds a triple-slot form factor over a 256-bit memory interface. The 16 GB GDDR6X frame buffer is the central asset for Fortnite’s high-resolution presets, and the 716.8 GB/s bandwidth helps deliver the measured numbers, especially at 1440p and 4K. In this database, the GPU holds 9,728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. It also integrates 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores, all running at 2205 MHz base and 2505 MHz boost. The total FP32 output is 48.74 TFLOPS, while the 304 tensor cores feed into DLSS and other assisted pathways — though the measured FPS rows appear without explicit you may call resolved feature flags.
The GPU benchmark percentile is 86, with an average score of 54,247 across the collection. In breadth, the RTX 4080 sits within a deltaPct of 0.1 (RTX 4080 SUPER), while the W5700X and RX 6750 GRE are the shadow of more than 1 %. The margin is tight, only 350 points separate the 4080 and the 4080 SUPER pair. In Fortnite, the highest preset number comes from the 4K Ultra row, which averages 52 FPS. The jump to a lower preset at the same 4K yields 79 for High and 102 for Medium, and 145 under Low — those figures all appear later in the FPS breakdown. Given the pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s, 4K Ultra is an obvious stress point. The 16 GB VRAM amount is never exceeded in these measured passes, but the data shows a sharp throughput bend: at 4K Low the card averages 145 FPS; at 4K High it drops to 79 FPS; and at 4K Ultra it is capped at 52 FPS. The decreasing returns confirm that the RTX 4080’s fill rate and ROP count, not the CPU, bound modern Fortnite at High/Ultra settings.
Resolution Scaling
Scaling from 1920 to 3840 shows a pronounced relationship between pixel count and frame delivery. In the Low preset, the average FPS falls from 432 (1080p) to 275 (1440p) to 145 (4K), a consistent drop of roughly 40 % at each step. Medium tells a similar story — 304 at 1080p, 194 at 1440p, and 102 at 4K. With High, the progression is 236 → 150 → 79. Ultra, the most difficult path, drops from 156 to 99 to 52 across the same three resolutions. The delivered numbers: 4K is repeatedly 2–3× harder than 1080p for equivalent presets, which points to extreme reliance on the GPU’s geometry and pixel throughput.
The 1440p Medium numbers are interesting because of the min/max range: a floor of 165 and ceiling of 223 FPS. At the same time, 1440p High reports 150 FPS, so the drop from Medium to High is only 44 FPS. The visible stage is a frame headroom variance under 180 FPS. The larger implication of scaling is straightforward: the attribute that matters first is resolution, not preset. For the Low preset, 4K Low yields 145 FPS while 1080p Ultra yields 156 FPS. That means 4K Low is only 11 FPS behind the absolute highest 1080p preset but 156 FPS behind 1080p Low. The data suggests resources are GPU-centric—when the pixel count is higher, the RTX 4080 becomes the limiter. At 1080p on the other hand, the capability of the core i5-14400F is equally decisive: the difference from 1080p Low to 1080p Medium is 93 FPS, and from Low to Ultra is 234 FPS.
How This Combo Ranks
The combo rank is 231 out of 3,700 total tested combos for Fortnite. It lands in the higher row of the pool. It is not the fastest pairing—rank 231 implies that many CPU/GPU pairs maintain higher frames at the same tested section. Yet it is still placed near the top in the context of all 3,700 entries. The rank is above the midpoint by measure—there are only 230 combos ahead of it—and it is one of the few with 3600 containers roughly. What is significant is that this rank corresponds to a CPU percentile of 83, a GPU percentile of 86, and average benchmark cores of 31%. Combined, these place the i5-14400F more couple and the RTX 4080 at a level where it can drive 1440p High to 150 FPS while keeping 4K Medium in the triple-digits at 102 FPS. A top-15% placement reflects that, generally, the board is fast enough for high-refresh 1440p for most competitive settings.
The data also shows that the CPU walks hand-in-hand with its nearest rivals. The i5-14400F average is 32,279, and the nearest rivals are the Intel i9-11900 (32,226), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32,233), and the Ryzen 7 6800HS (32,354). The deltas are –0.2% to +0.5%. With this GPU, 1440 Live at 1440p averages 194 and High at 1440p 150. The combo's rank sits 231 of 3,700—the placements in the same tier comprise of the 86th GPU percentile.
CPU Role
The Intel Core i5-14400F is a socket-1700 desktop chip from 14th Gen (Raptor Lake-R). It has 10 physical cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The 3PD cache is 20 MB shared, and each core has 1.25 MB of L2. The CPU supports DDR4/DDR5 memory via a dual-channel bus and uses 65 W TDP. These are mid-tier specifications, but the measured Fortnite results show which part of the run it covers.
Frame data at 1080p demonstrates the CPU’s capacity to drive a high frame rate: 1080p Low averages 432 FPS, and even 1080p High averages 236 FPS. That is well above the limit of most monitors and is consistent with a 10-core, 16-thread: Raptor Lake at 4.7 GHz boost. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,055 and multi-core of 21,645 both lie near the 83rd percentile of the CPU collection. The Geekbench multi-score of 11,268 relates to integer math that often limits CPU-hit frame peaks in battle royale as well.
Yet at 4K the CPU load moderates: 4K Low still reaches 145 FPS, which is only 55 FPS worse than 1440p; the limiter shifts to the pixel-processing side. The single-thread metrics as ratios (3,701 in PassMark) suggest the 14400F produces enough headroom to feed the 4080 at 1080 without becoming a hard wall, but the real stake is at 4K Multi. There, the mixture gives 102 FPS. Given the 4060’s outputs, the CPU high-boost remains appropriate. The multi-core margin over the nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has an average of 32,233 – only 0.1% lower. So for Fortnite, the CPU is loaded at counterbalance: it can push 432 FPS at 1080p low into the GPU frame, but once the render workload expands to 4K, it stays out of the throat.

Settings Recommendations
The pick of preset depends on the target display. At 1080p, Low grants 432 FPS and Medium 304 FPS; both are far beyond 90 Hz refresh. At Medium the frame window is 259–350, which is a stable, still almost free Visual lift. Given the 1000 Hz further, Low risks infrared ghosting on a144Hz monitor? There is no reason to abandon Medium at this resolution unless the user explicitly avoids any rate drop. At 1440p, Medium delivers 194 average with min 165 set. That is ideal for high refresh panels or QHD; it runs admirably, smoother than Low’s 275 which adds almost no visual benefit for the FPS vendor. At 1440p at High drops only 44 frames to 150, still playable for a 144 Hz flat panel. At 4K, Medium is the anchor: 102 average, 87 min. High at 4K drops to 79, which begins to feel borderline for a competitive battle arena; Ultra at 52 no longer reaches 60. The core needle is the measured median: Medium at 4K shows the best quality-to-delivered frame correspondence, and 1080p Medium does the same at 1440
