Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers an exceptionally strong performance profile in Fivem, with measured frame rates that not only clear the 60 FPS playability threshold at every preset and resolution tested but also leave substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate displays. Across all twelve tested configurations, the lowest average frame rate recorded is 62 FPS at 4K Ultra settings, which confirms that this combination is capable of maxing out the game’s visual options without sacrificing smoothness. The data shows a clear scaling pattern where performance scales down gracefully as resolution increases, yet even the most demanding scenario remains comfortably playable, positioning this combo as a top-tier option for Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5080 and Core Ultra 5 245 produce a spread of results that highlight the game’s sensitivity to preset changes. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 126 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS threshold. Moving to Medium settings drops the average to 99 FPS, with a minimum of 85 FPS and a maximum of 114 FPS, indicating that even during busy multiplayer scenes, frame pacing remains consistent. High settings yield an average of 80 FPS, while Ultra settings bring the average down to 62 FPS — still above the playable line, though with less margin for sudden drops.

Stepping down to 2560x1440, the same four presets show a significant boost in headroom. Low settings average 227 FPS, which is nearly four times the playability threshold. Medium settings deliver 179 FPS on average, with a minimum of 152 FPS and a maximum of 206 FPS, showing that the combination can handle high-refresh 1440p panels without breaking a sweat. High settings average 143 FPS, while Ultra settings maintain an impressive 111 FPS average, leaving ample room for occasional dips in demanding scenarios.

At 1920x1080, the performance ceiling is remarkably high. Low settings produce an average of 345 FPS, which is above the refresh rates of most mainstream monitors. Medium settings average 272 FPS, with a minimum of 232 FPS and a maximum of 313 FPS, demonstrating that even in the most chaotic moments, the frame rate stays well above 200 FPS. High settings average 218 FPS, and Ultra settings still manage an average of 169 FPS, proving that this combo is far more capable than what Fivem typically requires at 1080p.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 62 FPS. This is a narrow but real margin, and it means users can run the game at its highest visual quality without compromising playability. The data shows that High settings at this resolution average 80 FPS, offering a safer buffer for those who prefer more headroom over absolute visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average frame rate of 111 FPS. This is a substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making 1440p Ultra the sweet spot for this combination — it delivers both maximum visual quality and a frame rate that is smooth on 120Hz displays. The next step down, High settings, averages 143 FPS, but the Ultra preset’s 111 FPS is already so comfortable that there is little reason to compromise.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra once again, with an average of 169 FPS. This is more than enough for 144Hz monitors and even approaches the territory of 165Hz panels. The consistency across all three resolutions — Ultra is always the recommended preset — reflects the raw power of this hardware pairing, as there is no resolution where the user must dial back settings to achieve playability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The frame rate scaling between resolutions and presets reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s influence is most apparent: the gap between Low (345 FPS) and Ultra (169 FPS) settings is 176 FPS, which is a 51% reduction. This large delta indicates that at lower resolutions, the GPU has enough headroom to respond strongly to preset changes, while the CPU is responsible for feeding the graphics card with enough data to sustain such high frame rates. The Core Ultra 5 245’s 14 cores and 14 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, are well-suited to this task, as evidenced by the 345 FPS Low-settings result.

At 2560x1440, the scaling narrows somewhat: Low settings average 227 FPS and Ultra settings average 111 FPS, a 116 FPS difference. This suggests that the GPU is starting to become a more significant factor, as the increased pixel count places more load on the RTX 5080’s 10752 shading units and 112 ROPs. However, the CPU still holds its ground, as the 179 FPS Medium result (with a minimum of 152 FPS) shows that the processor can maintain high frame rates even when the GPU is working harder.

At 3840x2160, the GPU clearly takes the lead role. The difference between Low (126 FPS) and Ultra (62 FPS) is 64 FPS, a 51% drop, but the absolute numbers are much lower than at 1080p. This indicates that the RTX 5080’s 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed heavily at 4K, while the CPU has more idle capacity. The fact that the 4K Ultra result (62 FPS) is only slightly above the playability threshold underscores that this resolution is the GPU’s domain, and the Core Ultra 5 245 is no longer the limiting factor.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearestRivals data for the CPU, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 sits in close company with several AMD and Intel processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G has an average benchmark score of 49196, which is 0.4% lower than the Core Ultra 5 245’s 48995, making it a nearly identical performer in synthetic tests. Similarly, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 scores 49228, just 0.5% higher, indicating that it would deliver virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Fivem. On the Intel side, the Xeon Gold 5318H scores 48698 (0.6% lower) and the Core i5-14600K scores 48618 (0.8% lower), both of which are within a rounding error of the Core Ultra 5 245’s performance. For Fivem specifically, any of these processors would produce similar results when paired with the RTX 5080, as the game is unlikely to expose the small differences between them.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 8060S, which scores 55757 (0.6% lower than the RTX 5080’s 56083), and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, which scores 55698 (0.7% lower). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 2.3% slower with a score of 54828, while the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is 2.2% faster with a score of 57367. In practical terms, the Radeon 8060S and RX 6750 GRE 12 GB would deliver nearly identical FPS in Fivem, meaning users with those cards could expect similar 4K Ultra performance around 60 FPS. The RX 9070 GRE would offer a slight edge, potentially pushing 4K Ultra averages a few frames higher, while the Pro W5700X would be marginally slower but still likely to clear the playability threshold at most settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination ranks 180th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, which places it in the 95th percentile of all configurations evaluated. This high ranking is consistent with the measured frame rates, which never fall below 62 FPS even at the most demanding 4K Ultra preset. The GPU’s 87th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU’s 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs further corroborate that this is a well-balanced pairing for this game. The data shows that the combo sits comfortably above the median performer, and the only way to improve on this result would be to pair a higher-end GPU, such as the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which is 2.2% faster in synthetic benchmarks. However, given that the current setup already achieves 169 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 111 FPS at 1440p Ultra, the practical benefit of such an upgrade would be minimal for most users, as the frame rates are already far above what most monitors can display.
