Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 combination delivers a wide performance spread in Fivem, ranging from an average of 30 FPS at 4K Ultra settings to 168 FPS at 1080p Low settings. The data indicates that this pairing is capable of running the game smoothly at 1080p and 1440p, but it struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K with higher quality presets. The benchmark results show a clear performance tiering across resolutions, with the system achieving playable status (at or above 60 FPS average) in 9 of the 12 tested resolution and preset combinations.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 sits in a competitive position among desktop processors, with an average benchmark score of 48995 and a percentile ranking of 90 against all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, which scores 49196 (a negligible 0.4% difference), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, which scores 49228 (0.5% ahead). The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H trails by 0.6% with a score of 48698, while the Intel Core i5-14600K is the closest competitor, scoring 48618, which places it 0.8% behind the Core Ultra 5 245. These results indicate that the Core Ultra 5 245 delivers performance nearly identical to these alternatives, with all four rivals falling within a 1.4% performance band of each other.

For the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 achieves an average benchmark score of 21035 and sits at the 66th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals show a broader performance spread. The AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL scores 21153, which is 0.6% higher, while the AMD Radeon HD 8970M scores 21237, leading by 1%. The NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile scores 21379, outperforming the RTX 5050 by 1.6%. Conversely, the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT scores 20713, which is 1.6% lower. These deltas suggest that in synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5050 performs at a level comparable to older mobile workstation GPUs and mid-range desktop cards from prior generations, though actual in-game performance in Fivem may differ due to driver optimizations and API support.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the only preset that maintains an average at or above 60 FPS is Low, which delivers exactly 61 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that clears the playable threshold, but it leaves no headroom for frame rate dips.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves an average of 70 FPS, which is the best visual quality that still meets the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset offers a safety margin with 87 FPS, and the Low preset reaches 110 FPS, but High represents the optimal balance of fidelity and performance.

At 1920x1080, all four presets exceed 60 FPS, and the Ultra preset delivers the highest quality with an average of 82 FPS. This makes Ultra the recommended setting at 1080p, as it provides a substantial buffer above the playable threshold while maximizing visual detail.

The Verdict

The benchmark data confirms that this PC can run Fivem, but the experience varies significantly by resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is fully capable, clearing 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra at 82 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system remains playable on High, Medium, and Low settings, with High averaging 70 FPS, but Ultra falls short at 54 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, averaging 61 FPS, while Medium (48 FPS), High (39 FPS), and Ultra (30 FPS) all fail to reach the 60 FPS threshold. The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p offers the most flexibility with all presets playable, 1440p is viable with a cap at High settings, and 4K is only marginally playable at the lowest quality preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the performance drops sharply as settings increase. Low settings average 61 FPS, Medium averages 48 FPS with a range of 41 to 56, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. The minimum and maximum values are only recorded for Medium, showing a 15 FPS spread between the lowest and highest observed frames.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are more comfortable. Low settings average 110 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS with a range of 74 to 100, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The Medium setting shows a 26 FPS variance, indicating some frame pacing inconsistency but still maintaining playable averages.

At 1920x1080, the system shows its strongest performance. Low settings average 168 FPS, Medium averages 132 FPS with a range of 112 to 152, High averages 106 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p has a 40 FPS spread between minimum and maximum, which is the largest recorded variance across all tested configurations, but the average remains well above the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 combined with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 ranks 2275 out of 3707 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the combo in the lower-middle portion of the database, at roughly the 61st percentile of all tested systems. The rank reflects the GPU's position as the limiting factor, as the CPU's 90th percentile standing is significantly higher than the GPU's 66th percentile. The overall ranking suggests that while this system is far from the top performers in Fivem, it is still ahead of a substantial number of tested configurations, and the measured frame rates confirm that it can deliver a playable experience at 1080p and 1440p with appropriate settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU has sufficient headroom to support the system across all tested settings. At 3840x2160, the frame rate drops from 61 FPS at Low to 30 FPS at Ultra, a 50% reduction, which is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios where pixel throughput and memory bandwidth become limiting factors. The RTX 5050's 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 320.0 GB/s bandwidth is likely a constraint at 4K, where higher resolutions demand more memory and bandwidth.

At 2560x1440, the scaling from Low (110 FPS) to Ultra (54 FPS) shows a 51% decrease, similar to the 4K trend, confirming that the GPU remains the dominant factor. The CPU's role is less pronounced at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset stays above 50 FPS, suggesting that the Core Ultra 5 245's 14 cores and 14 threads are not being fully stressed in Fivem at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the GPU continues to dictate performance, with frame rates ranging from 168 FPS at Low to 82 FPS at Ultra. The CPU's capability is evident in the fact that even at Ultra settings, the system maintains an average above 80 FPS, indicating that the processor can feed the GPU adequately at this resolution. The measured data reveals that the RTX 5050 is the limiting component across all resolutions, as frame rate scaling with preset changes is consistent regardless of resolution, while the Core Ultra 5 245 provides enough computational headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck in Fivem. The CPU's 14-core configuration and 5.10 GHz boost clock contribute to its strong synthetic scores, but the game's performance ceiling is clearly set by the GPU's capabilities.
