Fivem

Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a top-tier combination for Fivem, delivering frame rates that far exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold across all tested resolutions and settings. The data shows a system with overwhelming headroom, where even the most demanding preset at 4K maintains a comfortable average of 67 FPS. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, component roles, and how this specific combo ranks against other tested configurations.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, achieving an average of 67 FPS. This is a significant feat, as Ultra settings at 4K typically stress even the most powerful hardware. The measured data shows a clear step down from Ultra to High (87 FPS), but both remain far above the playable threshold, indicating that the GPU has enough raw power to handle the game's highest visual fidelity at this resolution.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the best playable setting is again Ultra, with a much higher average of 122 FPS. This is nearly double the 60 FPS target, providing a smooth experience with substantial headroom for frame-time spikes or demanding multiplayer scenes. The performance gap between 4K and 1440p is stark, with Ultra FPS nearly doubling from 67 to 122, showcasing the resolution scaling of this combo.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the best setting remains Ultra, delivering an average of 185 FPS. This is a highly competitive frame rate for competitive play, and the data indicates that the CPU becomes the primary limiter here rather than the GPU. The step from 1440p to 1080p yields another 63 FPS improvement at Ultra, but the relative gains are smaller than the jump from 4K to 1440p, suggesting diminishing returns as resolution decreases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component for Fivem performance at higher resolutions, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 becomes increasingly important at lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the GPU's load is highest, and the FPS is primarily dictated by its rendering capabilities. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 71 FPS (138 vs 67), a 51% reduction, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where pushing more pixels and effects directly taxes the graphics card.

At 2560x1440, the CPU starts to share the load, but the GPU still holds the main role. The spread from Low (248 FPS) to Ultra (122 FPS) is 126 FPS, which is a larger absolute gap than at 4K, but the relative performance scaling shows the CPU is not yet the limiting factor. The RTX 5090's massive 32 GB memory and high pixel rate are the primary drivers here.

At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes the primary constraint. The difference between Low (377 FPS) and Ultra (185 FPS) is 192 FPS, but with the GPU having less work to do, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245's single-thread performance and 14 cores come into play. The data suggests that the GPU is still powerful enough to outpace the CPU's ability to feed it frames, even at Ultra settings. This is evidenced by the fact that the FPS gap between 1440p and 1080p at Ultra (122 to 185) is much smaller than the gap between 4K and 1440p (67 to 122), indicating a CPU limitation at the lower resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the lowest measured preset is Low with an average of 138 FPS. Medium yields 109 FPS, with a min of 92 and max of 125 FPS, showing stable performance. High reduces the average to 87 FPS, and Ultra drops to 67 FPS. The 4K data set lacks min/max values for most presets, but the Medium preset provides a range of 92-125 FPS, indicating good consistency.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales as expected. Low averages 248 FPS, Medium averages 196 FPS (with min 166 and max 225 FPS), High averages 157 FPS, and Ultra averages 122 FPS. The min/max data for Medium shows a tighter range compared to 4K, which is typical for a less GPU-bound workload. The 1440p results are all well above the playability threshold of 60 FPS, with even the most demanding preset having a 62 FPS headroom.

At 1920x1080, the numbers are exceptionally high. Low yields 377 FPS, Medium averages 297 FPS (min 253, max 342), High averages 238 FPS, and Ultra still holds 185 FPS. The performance at 1080p is CPU-limited, as evidenced by the High and Ultra settings not scaling as sharply as the GPU's potential would suggest. The min FPS of 253 FPS at Medium indicates that even in the most demanding scenarios, the frame rate does not dip below 4x the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Using the nearestRivals data, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 has an average benchmark score of 48995. Its closest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, which scores 49196 and is 0.4% faster, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 at 49228 (0.5% faster), and the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H at 48698 (0.6% slower). The Intel Core i5-14600K, with a score of 48618, is 0.8% slower. For Fivem, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance at 1080p, where the CPU is the main constraint.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has an average benchmark score of 79842. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79605, 0.3% slower), Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79396, 0.6% slower), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78940, 1.1% slower), and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (80959, 1.4% faster). In Fivem, these GPUs would produce similar FPS at 4K, with the Pro Vega 64X potentially offering a slight edge in GPU-bound scenarios, while the other cards would be within a 1% margin.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 59th out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the top 1.6% of all configurations, which is exceptional. In terms of percentile, the CPU is at the 90th percentile vs all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 92nd percentile vs all GPUs. The combo's ranking is slightly lower than the individual percentile of the GPU, which is expected since the CPU at 1080p can hold back overall performance. However, the 59th rank out of 3707 demonstrates that this is a top-tier setup, and only a handful of rival combinations (likely featuring stronger CPUs like the Ryzen 9 series or Core i9-14900K) would outperform it.
