Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a robust Fivem experience, with measured data showing that the combination is capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p and 1440p, while still managing a playable 60 FPS at 4K with the right settings. The benchmark results indicate a system that is well-balanced for this multiplayer title, though the demands of Ultra settings at 4K prove to be the only scenario where the hardware falls short of the 60 FPS threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system shows its strongest performance. On Low settings, the average frame rate hits 260 FPS, which is exceptionally high. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 205 FPS with a minimum of 175 FPS and a maximum of 236 FPS. High settings produce an average of 164 FPS, while the most demanding Ultra preset still delivers a very playable 128 FPS average. This resolution is clearly where the RTX 4070 and Core Ultra 5 245 are least stressed, offering headroom for high refresh rate monitors.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but scales down predictably. Low settings yield an average of 171 FPS, while Medium settings provide 135 FPS on average, with minimum and maximum readings of 115 and 156 FPS respectively. High settings maintain a fluid 108 FPS average. At this resolution, even the Ultra preset stays well above the playable threshold, with an average of 84 FPS. The data suggests that 1440p is a sweet spot for this pairing, offering high visual fidelity without compromising smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the demands of 4K become apparent. Low settings still manage an average of 95 FPS, and Medium settings produce 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 86 FPS, keeping it above the 60 FPS line. High settings land exactly on the threshold with a 60 FPS average. However, the Ultra preset is the breaking point, with the average falling to 47 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a significant drop, highlighting the increased load on the GPU at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals the shifting balance between the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the high frame rates across all presets suggest that the Intel Core Ultra 5 245, with its substantial multi-core capability, is feeding the RTX 4070 efficiently, allowing the GPU to push maximum frames. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is 132 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary driver of performance changes when settings are adjusted.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows slightly to 87 FPS, showing that the GPU is starting to take on a larger share of the workload. The system still delivers high averages, but the absolute numbers scale down, which is typical of GPU-bound scenarios at higher pixel counts. The Core Ultra 5 245's performance is less of a bottleneck here, as the RTX 4070 works harder to fill the additional pixels.

At 3840x2160, the role of the GPU becomes dominant. The drop from 95 FPS on Low to 47 FPS on Ultra at 4K is a 48 FPS swing, which is the largest relative percentage change among the resolutions. This indicates that the RTX 4070 is the limiting factor at 4K, particularly with the most demanding settings. The CPU's role diminishes, as the frame rate is constrained by the GPU's rendering throughput rather than the processor's ability to prepare draw calls. The data clearly shows that for this game, the GPU is the critical component for 4K play, while the CPU provides ample headroom at lower resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 sits very close to several other processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G has an average benchmark score that is 0.4% lower, meaning it would perform nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 is also a close match, being 0.5% slower, while the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H is 0.6% faster and the Intel Core i5-14600K is 0.8% faster. These deltaPct values indicate that all four rivals would deliver a very similar experience in Fivem, with no meaningful difference in frame rates when paired with the RTX 4070.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070's nearest rivals show a similar pattern of near-identical performance. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 has an average score just 0.1% higher, making it effectively equivalent. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is 0.4% faster, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% slower and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 is 1.3% faster. These small deltas mean that in practice, swapping the RTX 4070 for any of these alternatives would result in benchmark results that are within the margin of error, yielding similar FPS figures across all resolutions and presets in Fivem.

The Verdict

The measured data confirms that this PC can run Fivem successfully across the board, with the exception of the most demanding configuration. At 1920x1080, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the lowest average being 128 FPS on Ultra. This makes 1080p a fully playable resolution at any setting. At 2560x1440, the system also clears 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra, which averages 84 FPS. The verdict is equally positive for 1440p, where the hardware provides a smooth experience regardless of visual quality choices.

The situation changes at 3840x2160. The benchmark results show that High, Medium, and Low presets are playable, with averages of 60, 75, and 95 FPS respectively. However, the Ultra preset drops to a 47 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Therefore, the verdict for 4K is that the PC can run the game, but only if the user selects High settings or lower. Ultra is not viable at this resolution. In summary, this combo is highly capable for 1080p and 1440p gaming, and it can handle 4K with a compromise on the highest settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which achieves an average of exactly 60 FPS. This is the optimal choice for 4K, as it provides the best visual quality while maintaining the minimum playable frame rate. The Medium preset offers more headroom at 75 FPS, but High is the best balance of fidelity and performance. At 2560x1440, Ultra is the best setting, delivering an average of 84 FPS. This preset clears the 60 FPS threshold comfortably, allowing users to enable the highest level of detail without any concern for playability. Similarly, at 1920x1080, Ultra is the recommended setting, with an average of 128 FPS. This provides not only a playable experience but also a smooth one, with enough performance left over for demanding multiplayer scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

In the context of all tested combinations for Fivem, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 pairing ranks at 851 out of 3707 combos. This places it in the top 23% of all systems tested, which is a strong showing given the hardware's specifications. The CPU's percentile rank of 90 against all CPUs and the GPU's percentile rank of 81 against all GPUs indicate a high-performing duo. The combo rank of 851 suggests that while there are many faster systems, this combination offers a level of performance that is well above the median for the game. The data confirms that this pairing is a solid choice for Fivem, particularly for users targeting 1080p or 1440p with high refresh rates, and it remains competitive even at 4K when settings are adjusted accordingly.
