Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a robust Fivem experience across all tested resolutions, with the data showing average frame rates well above the 60 FPS playability threshold in almost every configuration. The measured results indicate a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s strong single-thread performance ensures high frame rates at 1080p. This analysis walks through the optimal settings per resolution, the balance of CPU versus GPU load, and a detailed breakdown of the measured performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution is the Ultra setting, based on the measured FPS data. At 3840x2160 (4K), the Ultra preset achieves an average of 60 FPS, which is exactly at the playable threshold. This makes Ultra the highest graphical quality you can use at 4K without dropping below the target frame rate. The High preset at this resolution provides a higher average of 77 FPS, but the Ultra setting is the most demanding that still clears the 60 FPS bar.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the Ultra preset delivers an average of 107 FPS, which is significantly above the 60 FPS threshold. This allows for the maximum visual quality with a comfortable performance cushion. The data shows that even the most demanding settings at 1440p are not a challenge for this hardware combination.

For 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset reaches an average of 163 FPS, providing an exceptionally smooth experience. The performance headroom at 1080p is substantial, with the High preset hitting 210 FPS and Medium at 263 FPS. The Ultra setting remains the best choice for those prioritizing visual fidelity, as it still delivers frame rates that far exceed the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals distinct roles for the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The average FPS at Low settings is 122, which drops to 96 at Medium, 77 at High, and 60 at Ultra. This steep decline with increased graphical load indicates that the RTX 4080’s rendering capabilities are the limiting factor. The CPU’s role at this resolution is less prominent, as it can feed the GPU with enough data to avoid becoming a constraint.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The Low preset yields 219 FPS, Medium 173 FPS, High 138 FPS, and Ultra 107 FPS. The scaling is still substantial, but the absolute frame rates are much higher than at 4K. This suggests that while the GPU remains important, the CPU’s ability to process game logic and draw calls becomes more relevant as the resolution decreases. The fact that the 1440p Ultra average of 107 FPS is nearly double the 4K Ultra average of 60 FPS highlights the GPU’s dominance at higher resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role. The Low preset reaches 333 FPS, Medium 263 FPS, High 210 FPS, and Ultra 163 FPS. The relative differences between presets are smaller than at 4K, with the Ultra preset still delivering 163 FPS. This indicates that the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, with its 10 cores and boost clock of 4.90 GHz, provides sufficient processing power to prevent the frame rate from collapsing at lower resolutions. The GPU is still capable, but the CPU’s contribution becomes more apparent here, as the frame rates approach the limits of what the CPU can push.

The data overall shows that the RTX 4080 is the dominant component at 4K and 1440p, while the Core Ultra 5 225 becomes more influential at 1080p. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 51% reduction in FPS (122 to 60), while at 1080p it is a 51% reduction as well (333 to 163), but the absolute performance is much higher at 1080p, indicating the CPU’s ability to maintain high throughput.
