Fivem

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 851st out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 23% of all configurations recorded in the database. This is a strong position for a multiplayer-focused title, where the combination of a 10-core CPU and a 12 GB GPU delivers headroom across most settings.

The CPU itself sits in the 85th percentile against all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 36,938. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F at 36,945 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at 37,018 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37,093 (-0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37,112 (-0.5%). The Core Ultra 5 225 is effectively tied with these four processors, meaning any of them would place this combo in nearly the same rank.

The GPU sits in the 81st percentile against all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 37,648. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 at 37,628 (0.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 at 37,507 (0.4%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile at 38,135 (-1.3%), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37,157 (1.3%). The RTX 4070 is marginally ahead of the Tesla P4 and RX Vega 56, while the RTX 4080 Mobile holds a 1.3% edge.

The rank of 851 out of 3,707 reflects a balanced system. The CPU and GPU both land near the 80th to 85th percentile of their respective categories, and the measured FPS data confirms that the combo delivers playable performance at every resolution tested, with the exception of 4K Ultra where the average drops to 47 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals indicate that the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and Intel Core i9-12900T would all produce nearly identical CPU-bound results in Fivem. The deltas are all within 0.5% of the Core Ultra 5 225, so swapping in any of these processors would not meaningfully change the frame rates recorded for this combo.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA Tesla P4, AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile, and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 are the closest matches. The RTX 4080 Mobile is the strongest of these alternatives at 1.3% ahead, while the RX Vega 56 is 0.4% behind and the Tesla P4 is 0.1% behind. The Radeon PRO W6400 trails by 1.3%. In practice, these deltas are small enough that any of these GPUs would place the combo in the same general rank range, though the RTX 4070's 12 GB memory capacity and Ada Lovelace architecture give it an edge in scenarios where VRAM or feature support matters.

Because both the CPU and GPU have near-identical rivals, a system built with any of the alternative CPUs paired with any of the alternative GPUs would deliver FPS numbers within a few percent of the measured results. The most balanced swap would be the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile, as both sit at or slightly above the reference components. Conversely, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 with the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 would be the weakest combination among the listed alternatives, with both components trailing by roughly 1.3% to 1.7% combined.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces 260 FPS average, which is 58.5% higher than the High preset at 164 FPS. This large gap between Low and High at 1080p indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter even at this resolution, since lowering graphical settings produces a substantial frame rate jump.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 171 FPS average, while High drops to 108 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is a 34.2% reduction (260 to 171 FPS), which aligns with the pixel count increase of 77.8%. The GPU is clearly the dominant factor here, as the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at both resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 95 FPS, High averages 60 FPS, and Ultra drops to 47 FPS. The gap between 1440p Low (171 FPS) and 4K Low (95 FPS) is 44.4%, which is smaller than the 77.8% pixel count increase, suggesting that the CPU begins to play a more significant role at 4K. Even so, the GPU remains the primary constraint, as the Ultra preset at 4K falls below the playable threshold of 60 FPS.

The Medium preset shows the clearest scaling pattern. At 1080p Medium, the average is 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 and maximum of 156, a 34.1% reduction. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 and maximum of 86, a 44.4% reduction from 1440p. This consistent scaling across resolutions confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck in all tested scenarios, while the CPU maintains sufficient single-thread performance to avoid limiting frame rates.

The Core Ultra 5 225's single-core results support this interpretation. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,655 and PassMark single-thread score of 4,412 indicate strong per-thread performance, which is critical for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The CPU's 10 cores and 10 threads provide adequate multi-threaded capacity, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,891.

FAQ

Q: What is the best playable setting at 4K resolution?

A: The High preset at 3840x2160 averages exactly 60 FPS, which meets the playable threshold. Medium averages 75 FPS and Low averages 95 FPS, but High is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS.

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 1440p Ultra?

A: Yes. The Ultra preset at 2560x1440 averages 84 FPS, well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database records FPS measurements for three resolutions and four settings each, with complete data for the Medium preset at every resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 260 FPS. Medium averages 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 and maximum of 236. High averages 164 FPS. Ultra averages 128 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 132 FPS, indicating that graphical settings have a substantial impact on performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 171 FPS. Medium averages 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 and maximum of 156. High averages 108 FPS. Ultra averages 84 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 87 FPS, showing a tighter range than 1080p due to increased GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 95 FPS. Medium averages 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 and maximum of 86. High averages 60 FPS. Ultra averages 47 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 48 FPS, the narrowest range of the three resolutions. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium (64) remains above the playable threshold, but the Ultra preset's average of 47 FPS falls below it.

The Medium preset's min/max data provides insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p, the range is 175 to 236 FPS, a 61 FPS spread. At 1440p, the range is 115 to 156 FPS, a 41 FPS spread. At 4K, the range is 64 to 86 FPS, a 22 FPS spread. The narrowing range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently loaded, reducing frame time variance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. The Medium preset (75 FPS) and Low preset (95 FPS) also exceed the threshold, but High provides the best visual quality while meeting the playable requirement. Ultra at 47 FPS is not playable.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 84 FPS, making it the best playable option. All four presets exceed 60 FPS at this resolution, with Low at 171 FPS, Medium at 135 FPS, and High at 108 FPS. The Ultra preset delivers the highest visual fidelity while maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 128 FPS, which is the best playable setting. Every preset at this resolution exceeds 60 FPS significantly, with Low at 260 FPS, Medium at 205 FPS, and High at 164 FPS. The Ultra preset offers the highest graphical settings while still delivering more than double the playable frame rate.

The data indicates that this combo is most comfortable at 1080p and 1440p, where even the most demanding settings maintain frame rates well above the playable threshold. At 4K, users must compromise by selecting High settings, which exactly meet the 60 FPS requirement.
