Fivem

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU in this configuration, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, sits near the top of the database with an 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 46062 places it within a tight cluster of high-end processors. The nearest rival is the Intel Core i9-13900HX, which scores 46098, a negligible 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is essentially tied at 46030, also 0.1% away. Two server-class chips, the AMD EPYC 4364P and AMD EPYC 7303, round out the comparison group with scores of 45970 and 45960 respectively, both 0.2% behind. The practical takeaway is that any of these alternatives would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, making the Core Ultra 5 235 interchangeable with them for this workload.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 holds a 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 15290 is matched almost exactly by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, which scores 15283 with a 0% delta. The AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics come within 0.1% at 15270. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM trails by 0.6% at 15199, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is 0.8% behind at 15171. This means the RTX 2060 delivers frame rates statistically indistinguishable from these four alternatives. Users upgrading from a GTX 580 or considering a modern integrated solution like the Radeon 680M should expect similar graphics performance in Fivem. The RTX 3050 OEM and RX 7600, despite being newer designs, benchmark so closely that they would not represent a meaningful upgrade for this specific title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU at different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates strong overall performance with the CPU providing ample headroom. The frame rate scales dramatically with graphics settings: Low produces 145 FPS average, Medium drops to 115 FPS, High achieves 92 FPS, and Ultra still maintains 71 FPS. The relatively modest gap between Low and Ultra, roughly a 2x reduction, suggests that even at the lowest settings the GPU is not completely bottlenecked, but the CPU is capable of feeding it consistently across all presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to assert more influence. Average frame rates at this resolution are 96 FPS on Low, 75 FPS on Medium, 60 FPS on High, and 47 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent drop of approximately 34% across settings, which aligns with the increased pixel count. This indicates that while the CPU still provides sufficient throughput, the RTX 2060's rendering capacity becomes the limiting factor as resolution rises.

At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the performance equation. Average frame rates fall to 53 FPS on Low, 42 FPS on Medium, 33 FPS on High, and 26 FPS on Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is only about 2x, compared to the 2x difference at 1080p, but the absolute numbers are far lower. The CPU's role diminishes to near irrelevance at this resolution; the RTX 2060 with its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth simply cannot sustain playable frame rates in most configurations. The data shows that resolution scaling has a much larger impact on performance than preset scaling, confirming that Fivem at 4K is entirely GPU-bound for this combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 71 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available in the measured data, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold comfortably. The minimum frame rate for Ultra is not recorded, but the average of 71 FPS provides sufficient margin that dips below 60 are unlikely to be frequent or severe.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, achieving exactly 60 FPS on average. This is the boundary case for the playable threshold. Medium runs faster at 75 FPS average with a minimum of 64 FPS and maximum of 87 FPS, but High represents the maximum visual quality that still hits the 60 FPS target. Ultra at this resolution falls short at 47 FPS average, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The closest option is Low with 53 FPS average, followed by Medium at 42 FPS, High at 33 FPS, and Ultra at 26 FPS. None of these configurations are playable according to the database's 60 FPS standard, so there is no recommended setting at this resolution.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem across the majority of common gaming setups, but the answer depends entirely on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the verdict is a clear yes: all four presets, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, clear the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra runs at 71 FPS average, providing the full visual experience without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable but with restrictions. High, Medium, and Low all achieve 60 FPS or better, with High landing exactly at 60 FPS. Ultra does not make the cut at 47 FPS average. For users with 1440p monitors, the recommendation is to use High settings for the best balance of quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is no. No preset reaches 60 FPS, with the best option being Low at 53 FPS average. The RTX 2060, despite being paired with a very capable CPU, lacks the raw rendering power needed for 4K gaming in this title. The recorded data shows this configuration ranks 2911 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem, placing it in the lower portion of the database but still above many older or entry-level systems.

The overall assessment is that this is a capable 1080p and 1440p gaming machine for Fivem, but not a 4K solution. The CPU's high benchmark scores ensure it will not bottleneck the GPU at any resolution, but the GPU's mid-range standing limits the system to resolutions below 4K for playable frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080:

• Low: 145 FPS average
• Medium: 115 FPS average, 97 FPS minimum, 132 FPS maximum
• High: 92 FPS average
• Ultra: 71 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 96 FPS average
• Medium: 75 FPS average, 64 FPS minimum, 87 FPS maximum
• High: 60 FPS average
• Ultra: 47 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low: 53 FPS average
• Medium: 42 FPS average, 36 FPS minimum, 48 FPS maximum
• High: 33 FPS average
• Ultra: 26 FPS average

The frame time consistency, where recorded, shows that Medium presets at 1080p and 1440p have tight minimum-to-maximum spreads. At 1080p Medium, the range is 97 to 132 FPS, a 35 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the range is 64 to 87 FPS, a 23 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range is 36 to 48 FPS, a 12 FPS spread. This pattern indicates that as resolution increases, the frame rate becomes more stable but at a lower absolute level, consistent with the GPU being the limiting factor.
