Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Fivem with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 spans three resolutions and four quality presets, yielding a clear performance curve. At 1920x1080, the combo is firmly in high-refresh territory. The Low preset delivers an average of 145 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded across the entire test matrix. Medium averages 115 FPS, with a minimum of 97 FPS and a maximum of 132 FPS, showing strong consistency. High averages 92 FPS, while Ultra drops to 71 FPS, still comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably but remain respectable. Low averages 96 FPS, Medium averages 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS, and High averages exactly 60 FPS, which sits precisely at the playable threshold. Ultra falls below that line, averaging 47 FPS. At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low averages 53 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. None of the 4K presets reach the 60 FPS playable threshold, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay with this hardware combination.

The min/max data is only recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p, the range from 97 to 132 FPS indicates a relatively tight band, suggesting stable performance. At 1440p, the 64 to 87 FPS range shows more variance but remains playable. At 4K, the 36 to 48 FPS range confirms that even the best-case frames fall short of the playable mark. The absence of min/max values for other presets means the database only provides averages for those settings, but the trend is still clear: resolution scaling is steep, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the data shows no playable settings. Every preset, from Low to Ultra, averages below the 60 FPS threshold, with the highest being Low at 53 FPS. The verdict confirms this, listing an empty playableSettings array and no best settings. Users targeting 4K on this combo would need to accept frame rates in the 26 to 53 FPS range, which falls short of smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, averaging exactly 60 FPS. Low and Medium also qualify, at 96 FPS and 75 FPS respectively, but High is the highest quality setting that maintains playability. Ultra drops to 47 FPS, so it is excluded. The verdict lists High, Low, and Medium as playable, with High as the best setting.

At 1920x1080, the situation is much more favorable. Ultra averages 71 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that clears the 60 FPS bar. Low, Medium, and High also qualify, at 145, 115, and 92 FPS respectively. The verdict confirms all four presets as playable, with Ultra as the best setting. This means at 1080p, users can crank the game to its maximum quality and still maintain a playable frame rate, with a comfortable margin above the threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database for Fivem, this specific CPU and GPU combination ranks 2911 out of 3707 tested combos. That places it in the lower third of all configurations, roughly at the 78.5 percentile when calculated from the rank and total count, though the exact percentile is not directly stated. The rank reflects the overall performance of the pair in this specific multiplayer title, which tends to be CPU-sensitive in certain scenarios but is also heavily influenced by GPU rendering load at higher resolutions.

The CPU itself performs much better in isolation. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 holds a 93rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 64640. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD EPYC 4464P, which scores 64823 with a delta of -0.3%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F at 64438 with a delta of 0.3%, the AMD EPYC 7343 at 64202 with a delta of 0.7%, and the AMD EPYC 9124 at 65104 with a delta of -0.7%. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the Core Ultra 7 265 sits in a tightly clustered group of high-end processors where the performance differences are negligible.

The GPU presents a different story. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 holds a 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15290. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 at 15283 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Radeon 680M at 15270 with a delta of 0.1%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM at 15199 with a delta of 0.6%, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 at 15171 with a delta of 0.8%. The near-zero deltas indicate that these GPUs are effectively interchangeable in terms of raw benchmark scores, despite their different architectures and release eras.

The discrepancy between the CPU's high percentile and the combo's low rank suggests that the RTX 2060 is the bottleneck in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. The CPU has plenty of headroom, but the GPU cannot push enough frames to capitalize on it, especially when the resolution scales past 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are all within a 1% delta of the Core Ultra 7 265's average score. The AMD EPYC 4464P is effectively identical, scoring 64823 against 64640, a delta of -0.3%. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is the closest match, scoring 64438 with a delta of 0.3%, essentially the same chip without some features. The AMD EPYC 7343 and AMD EPYC 9124 also sit within 0.7% and -0.7% respectively, meaning any of these processors would deliver nearly indistinguishable performance in Fivem when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 matches the RTX 2060's average score almost exactly, at 15283 versus 15290, a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon 680M is 0.1% behind, the RTX 3050 OEM is 0.6% behind, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is 0.8% behind. A user swapping the RTX 2060 for any of these would see virtually no change in frame rates, at least based on the aggregate benchmark data. However, it is importantly these scores reflect synthetic benchmarks, not Fivem-specific results, so actual in-game behavior could vary slightly depending on driver optimizations and API support.

The practical takeaway is that this combo sits in a performance tier where the CPU is far more capable than the GPU. Upgrading the CPU to one of its rivals would yield no measurable benefit, while swapping the GPU to one of its rivals would also hold performance steady. The bottleneck is inherent to the RTX 2060's position in the market, not to any specific pairing.

The Verdict

The data answers the question directly: this PC can run Fivem, but only at certain resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, it clears the 60 FPS threshold on every preset, including Ultra at 71 FPS. That is a fully playable experience with maximum quality settings and a 11 FPS margin above the playable line. At 2560x1440, it remains playable on Low, Medium, and High, with High sitting exactly at 60 FPS. The margin there is thin, so users should expect occasional dips below the threshold in busy multiplayer moments, though the average holds. At 3840x2160, it is not playable at any setting. The best average is 53 FPS on Low, which falls below the threshold, and Ultra drops to 26 FPS.

The verdict by resolution confirms this: 1080p is fully playable with Ultra as the best setting, 1440p is playable up to High, and 4K has no playable settings. For users with a 1080p monitor, this combo is a solid match for Fivem at high quality. For 1440p users, it works but requires accepting either a lower preset or a frame rate that hovers right at the boundary. For 4K users, the answer is clear: do not expect smooth performance, as the GPU simply does not have enough rendering power at that pixel count.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 becomes evident when examining the scaling across resolutions and presets. The CPU is a high-end part, ranking in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs with a strong multi-core score of 42216 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core score of 5960. In a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification of GTA V, the CPU handles physics, AI, and network synchronization, and this processor has ample headroom for those tasks.

The GPU, however, is a mid-range part from the Turing generation, ranking in the 58th percentile among all GPUs. Its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus provide a bandwidth of 336 GB/s, but its raw compute of 6.451 TFLOPS FP32 is modest by modern standards. As resolution increases from 1080p to 1440p to 4K, the frame rates drop proportionally: at 1080p, the average across presets ranges from 71 to 145 FPS; at 1440p, it ranges from 47 to 96 FPS; at 4K, it ranges from 26 to 53 FPS. This steep scaling is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance.

The CPU's role is less visible in the frame rate numbers because it is not the limiting factor. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU has the least work, the CPU still delivers 145 FPS, which is well within its capability. At higher presets, the GPU load increases and frame rates drop, but the CPU continues to feed frames without becoming a bottleneck. The single-core score of 5960 in Cinebench R23 indicates strong per-thread performance, which matters for Fivem's often single-threaded game logic.

The conclusion is that the GPU dictates the experience at every resolution. At 1080p, it has enough power to handle Ultra at 71 FPS. At 1440p, it can manage High at 60 FPS but no more. At 4K, it cannot reach 60 FPS on any preset. The CPU is effectively a non-factor in this pairing, and any of its nearest rivals would produce identical results. Users looking to improve Fivem performance with this combo should focus on GPU upgrades, as the CPU is already well above the required tier.
