CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 when running Fivem. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces 345 FPS average, which is an extremely high frame rate that places heavy demands on the CPU for game logic and draw calls. The Core Ultra 5 225, with its 10 cores and 10 threads running at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and boost up to 4.90 GHz, provides the single-thread throughput necessary to sustain such high frame rates. This is supported by the CPU's strong single-core benchmark results, including a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3655, which places it in the 85th percentile of all processors.

As resolution increases, the performance scaling demonstrates the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 345 to 227 FPS, a 34% reduction. This trend intensifies at 4K, where the same Low preset produces 126 FPS average, representing a 63% decrease from the 1080p result. This scaling pattern is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios at higher resolutions, where the RTX 5080's rendering workload increases with pixel count. The RTX 5080, with 10752 shading units and a boost clock of 2617 MHz, delivers 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is sufficient to maintain playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra.

The relationship between settings presets and resolution further illustrates the CPU-GPU balance. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 176 FPS (345 vs 169), which is a 51% performance spread. At 4K, the same settings range produces a smaller absolute difference of 64 FPS (126 vs 62), but a larger relative gap of 51%. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU has more influence over the frame rate ceiling, while at higher resolutions, the GPU's rendering capabilities become the limiting factor. The Core Ultra 5 225's memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s and DDR5 support ensure that data can be fed to the GPU without creating a system-level bottleneck, even in demanding multiplayer scenarios common in Fivem.
