Fivem

Can Intel Core Ultra 5 245 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 run Fivem? Benchmark results indicate this combo sits at rank 97 out of 3,707 tested combinations, placing it in the top percentile for this multiplayer title. The pairing of a 14-core Arrow Lake processor with an Ada Lovelace flagship produces overwhelming frame rates across all tested resolutions, with even the most demanding preset at 4K averaging 66 FPS. The data shows a system that does not merely meet the 60 FPS playability threshold—it shatters it at every configuration.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 97 out of 3,707 represents the 97.4th percentile of all tested CPU-GPU pairings in Fivem. This places the Core Ultra 5 245 + RTX 4090 combination ahead of roughly 97% of all tested configurations, a remarkable position given the game's multiplayer nature where CPU overhead often dictates performance. The RTX 4090's 88th percentile standing among all GPUs and the Core Ultra 5 245's 90th percentile among all CPUs create a synergistic pairing where neither component bottlenecks the other in this title.

The processor's average benchmark score of 48,995 puts it within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G and 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, while edging out the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H by 0.6% and the Core i5-14600K by 0.8%. On the GPU side, the RTX 4090's average score of 60,347 places it within 0.3% of the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48, while the Intel Arc Pro A60 sits at a 0% delta. The Radeon Pro W6600M leads by 2.5%, and the Radeon PRO V710 trails by 2.9%. These tight benchmark margins suggest that Fivem's performance is heavily influenced by game-specific optimization rather than raw compute alone.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 4K Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The 3840x2160 Ultra preset delivers an average of 66 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playability threshold with a modest 10% margin. This is the most demanding configuration tested.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with maximum settings?

A: The 1920x1080 Ultra preset achieves an average of 180 FPS, with the Medium preset reaching 290 FPS average and Low hitting 368 FPS. All 1080p settings produce frame rates far exceeding display refresh rates.

Q: How does the RTX 4090 compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4090's average benchmark score of 60,347 is essentially tied with the Intel Arc Pro A60 (0% delta) and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (0.3% ahead). The AMD Radeon Pro W6600M scores 2.5% higher, while the AMD Radeon PRO V710 trails by 2.9%.

Q: Is the Core Ultra 5 245 a bottleneck for the RTX 4090 in Fivem?

A: Benchmark data shows no significant bottleneck. The CPU's 90th percentile standing and 14 cores contribute to consistent frame delivery, with the combo ranking 97th out of 3,707 tested combinations.

Q: What are the minimum frame rates at Medium settings?

A: At 4K Medium, the minimum FPS is 90, at 1440p Medium it is 163, and at 1080p Medium it is 247. These minimums all exceed the 60 FPS threshold by substantial margins.

Q: Does the system support ray tracing or other advanced features?

A: The RTX 4090 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, with 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores. However, the measured FPS data does not include ray tracing-specific benchmarks for Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a clear progression from Low to Ultra. The Low preset averages 135 FPS, Medium averages 106 FPS with a minimum of 90 and maximum of 122, High averages 85 FPS, and Ultra averages 66 FPS. The 4K Ultra figure is the only tested configuration that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, yet still exceeds it by 10%.

The 2560x1440 results demonstrate the GPU's headroom at this resolution. Low settings produce an average of 242 FPS, Medium averages 191 FPS with a range of 163 to 220, High averages 153 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 119 FPS average. The gap between Medium and High at 1440p is 38 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra is 34 FPS, indicating consistent scaling across preset levels.

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4090 operates in extreme territory. The Low preset averages 368 FPS, Medium averages 290 FPS with a minimum of 247 and maximum of 334, High averages 232 FPS, and Ultra still produces 180 FPS. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the system is likely limited by the CPU's single-thread performance rather than GPU throughput, though the Core Ultra 5 245's 4,648 Cinebench R23 single-core score keeps frame rates exceptionally high.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals all fall within a narrow 1.2% band of average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G and AMD Ryzen 9 7900 both sit within 0.5% of the Core Ultra 5 245, meaning a system using either would deliver nearly identical Fivem performance. The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H and Core i5-14600K trail by 0.6% and 0.8% respectively, representing negligible differences in real-world gameplay.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4090's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the Intel Arc Pro A60 (0% delta), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (0.3% ahead), and AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (2.5% ahead). The AMD Radeon PRO V710 trails by 2.9%. These delta values suggest that swapping the RTX 4090 for any of these alternatives would produce frame rate differences of less than 3% in Fivem, though none match the 4090's 24 GB GDDR6X memory capacity or 1.01 TB/s bandwidth.

A user seeking near-identical performance could pair the Core Ultra 5 245 with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900 or Core i5-14600K without meaningful changes to Fivem frame rates. Similarly, the GPU could theoretically be swapped for an Intel Arc Pro A60 while maintaining benchmark parity, though the 4090's massive 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 throughput remains unique among these options.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains 60+ FPS is Ultra, which averages 66 FPS. While High (85 FPS), Medium (106 FPS), and Low (135 FPS) all clear the threshold, Ultra represents the maximum visual fidelity possible while remaining playable.

The 2560x1440 resolution allows Ultra settings with an average of 119 FPS. This provides substantial headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, with the next tier down (High) reaching 153 FPS. The gap between Ultra and High at this resolution is 34 FPS, suggesting that players could enable additional post-processing or higher render scales without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 180 FPS, more than triple the 60 FPS threshold. The progression from Ultra to High (232 FPS), Medium (290 FPS), and Low (368 FPS) shows that even the most demanding preset leaves massive performance reserves. For competitive play, the Low preset's 368 FPS would maximize responsiveness, while Ultra provides a visually rich experience at refresh rates beyond most monitors' capabilities.

The Verdict

This combination can run Fivem at every tested resolution and preset configuration above 60 FPS. The verdict data confirms all three resolutions—3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080—list High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable settings. At 4K, the best playable setting is Ultra at 66 FPS average; at 1440p, Ultra averages 119 FPS; and at 1080p, Ultra averages 180 FPS.

The Core Ultra 5 245 + RTX 4090 pairing demonstrates exceptional headroom in Fivem. Even at the most demanding 4K Ultra preset, the system maintains a 10% buffer above the playability threshold, meaning frame rate dips would need to be severe to cause sub-60 FPS performance. The 1440p and 1080p results show the system operating at 2x and 3x the playable threshold respectively, making this configuration suitable for high-refresh-rate displays at lower resolutions.

The data indicates this system is over-powered for Fivem at 1080p and 1440p, where even Ultra settings leave substantial performance unused. At 4K, the system hits a more balanced sweet spot, delivering high-fidelity visuals with playable frame rates. For users with 4K high-refresh displays or those who prefer maximum visual settings, this combination delivers everything Fivem can ask for. The rank of 97 out of 3,707 tested combos reinforces that this pairing sits near the apex of Fivem performance, with only a small fraction of tested systems exceeding its capabilities.
