Fivem

Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 deliver a compelling Fivem experience, with benchmark data showing strong 1080p and 1440p performance, while 4K requires some setting compromises. The combination ranks in the 79th percentile of tested systems for this game, indicating that most players will find it more than capable.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest preset that maintains 60 FPS at 4K resolution?

A: At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers an average of 64 FPS, making it the most demanding setting that clears the 60 FPS threshold. Low and Medium also remain playable, but Ultra drops to 50 FPS average.

Q: Can this system run Fivem at Ultra settings in 1440p?

A: Yes. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset produces an average of 90 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the best settings option at this resolution according to the verdict data.

Q: How much performance headroom exists at 1080p with this combo?

A: At 1920x1080, even the most demanding Ultra preset averages 136 FPS. The Low preset reaches 278 FPS average, and Medium sits at 219 FPS average, showing substantial headroom beyond the 60 FPS baseline.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for the Medium preset across all resolutions?

A: The data shows minimum FPS only for Medium settings: 186 FPS at 1080p, 123 FPS at 1440p, and 68 FPS at 4K. Other presets do not have min or max values listed in the measured results.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations for Fivem?

A: The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 plus RTX 5070 combo ranks 764 out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it in the top 21% of all systems benchmarked for this game.

Q: Which component holds back 4K Ultra performance?

A: The data does not isolate individual component bottlenecks. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 50, which is 14 FPS below the playable threshold. The CPU’s 10 cores and 10 threads paired with the GPU’s 12 GB GDDR7 memory contribute to overall system capability, but specific bottleneck attribution is not provided.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured data places this CPU-GPU pair at rank 764 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This means roughly 79% of all recorded system configurations perform worse, placing the combo in the upper quartile of tested hardware. The percentile ranking aligns with the component-level benchmarks: the CPU sits at the 85th percentile among all processors, and the GPU at the 82nd percentile among all graphics cards.

In practical terms, this rank indicates the system handles Fivem’s multiplayer workload without significant strain. The gap between the combo’s rank and the 60 FPS threshold varies by resolution. At 4K, the system barely exceeds the threshold at High settings, while at 1080p it multiplies the threshold by more than two times at Ultra. The rank of 764 does not tell the full story; it aggregates across all tested settings and resolutions, masking the fact that 4K Ultra falls short of playability while 1080p Low nearly triples the minimum target.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals consistent scaling across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 278 FPS, Medium averages 219 FPS with a minimum of 186 and maximum of 252, High averages 175 FPS, and Ultra averages 136 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 51% performance drop, yet even the lowest average remains more than double the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same settings hierarchy holds: Low averages 183 FPS, Medium averages 144 FPS (min 123, max 166), High averages 116 FPS, and Ultra averages 90 FPS. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 34% at Low, 34% at Medium, 34% at High, and 34% at Ultra, showing a consistent pixel-count penalty across all presets.

At 3840x2160, the pattern continues but with more dramatic drops. Low averages 102 FPS, Medium averages 80 FPS (min 68, max 92), High averages 64 FPS, and Ultra averages 50 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K costs between 42% and 44% of performance depending on the preset. Notably, the Medium preset at 4K has the only complete min-max data at that resolution, with a minimum of 68 FPS that still clears the playable threshold. The High preset’s 64 FPS average is the ceiling for 4K playability, while Ultra’s 50 FPS falls 10 FPS short of the 60 FPS target.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at -0.4%, and the Intel Core i9-12900T at -0.5%. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem. The Ryzen 5 5600F matches the Intel Core Ultra 5 225’s average score almost exactly, while the others trail by less than one percent.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5070’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 at +0.1%, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 at +0.8%, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 at -1.2%, and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile at +2%. These deltas are similarly small, though the RTX A500 Mobile is 2% ahead in aggregate benchmarks. Swapping the RTX 5070 for any of these alternatives would produce FPS values within roughly 2% of the measured results, translating to differences of 1-3 FPS at 4K High and 3-6 FPS at 1080p Low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts between components. At 1080p, the CPU’s role is more pronounced because the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly; the Low preset at 278 FPS indicates the CPU can feed the GPU at very high rates. The CPU’s 10 cores and 10 threads, boosting to 4.90 GHz, support this throughput, though the data does not isolate individual core utilization.

At 1440p, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. The performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all presets at roughly 34%, suggesting the added pixel load scales uniformly with the GPU’s rendering capacity. The RTX 5070’s 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth handle the increased resolution without introducing a step change in performance.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper at 42-44%, and the Ultra preset’s 50 FPS average shows the GPU’s limits at maximum settings. The CPU’s single-thread score of 3655 in Cinebench R23 and multi-thread score of 25891 suggest it is not the limiting factor at 4K, since the same CPU sustains 278 FPS at 1080p Low. The data indicates the GPU’s rendering capacity, not the CPU’s processing power, determines 4K performance.

The Verdict

The verdict data confirms this system can run Fivem at 60 FPS across most configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 136 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra at 90 FPS. At 3840x2160, three presets are playable — Low at 102 FPS, Medium at 80 FPS, and High at 64 FPS — while Ultra falls short at 50 FPS.

The system meets the playable threshold of 60 FPS in 10 out of 12 tested configurations, failing only at 4K Ultra. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p, this combo delivers a high-refresh-rate experience even at maximum settings. For 4K, the High preset provides a playable 64 FPS average, but those seeking Ultra quality at 4K would need to accept lower frame rates or adjust settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the most demanding option that stays at or above 60 FPS, averaging 136 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while maintaining more than double the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies as the best setting, averaging 90 FPS. This is 30 FPS above the threshold, leaving room for demanding multiplayer scenes without dropping below playability.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the most demanding playable option, averaging 64 FPS. This is only 4 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, so players may want to consider the Medium preset’s 80 FPS average for more headroom in busy multiplayer sessions, though the data shows High remains technically playable.
