Fivem

Settings Recommendations

For Fivem, the measured data shows a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate across the four available presets. The Ultra preset delivers the lowest average frame rates at every resolution, while Low consistently produces the highest. The most balanced experience, however, depends heavily on the target display resolution and refresh rate.

At 1920x1080, the High preset achieves an average of 163.7 FPS, which is substantially smoother than the Ultra preset’s 128 FPS while still offering markedly better visual quality than Low. The data shows that High at 1080p provides a 35.7 FPS advantage over Ultra, making it the recommended preset for high-refresh-rate monitors in this resolution. For gamers prioritizing maximum competitive responsiveness, the Low preset reaches 257.9 FPS, but this comes at a significant visual cost that most users will find unnecessary given the strong High preset performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 108.8 FPS average, which remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 133.3 FPS offers a 24.5 FPS improvement over High, but the visual differences between Medium and High are often more discernible at this resolution on larger displays. The Ultra preset drops to 84.7 FPS, which is still playable but begins to show strain on higher refresh rate panels. For 1440p, the data indicates that High is the optimal choice, balancing the 108.8 FPS average with superior image quality compared to Medium.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. The High preset produces 59.6 FPS, which is right at the edge of smooth gameplay. The Ultra preset falls to 44.9 FPS, which will feel noticeably stuttery in a multiplayer environment. The Medium preset at 76.9 FPS provides a much safer margin above 60 FPS, and the visual difference between Medium and High at 4K is less apparent due to the high pixel density. For 4K displays, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it offers the best balance between the 76.9 FPS average and acceptable visual quality.

The Low preset at 4K reaches 94.4 FPS, but the graphical compromises at this resolution are severe enough that most users will prefer the Medium preset’s 76.9 FPS. Overall, the data suggests that High is the sweet spot for 1080p and 1440p, while Medium becomes the preferred choice for 4K gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured frame rates show a wide spread across settings. The Low preset achieves 257.9 FPS, which represents the highest performance level for this combination. Medium settings produce 204.8 FPS, representing a 53.1 FPS drop from Low. High settings deliver 163.7 FPS, a 41.1 FPS decrease from Medium. The Ultra preset bottoms out at 128 FPS, which is 35.7 FPS below High and 129.9 FPS below Low. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system has substantial headroom for competitive play even on High settings.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern emerges but with reduced absolute values. Low settings average 169.2 FPS, Medium achieves 133.3 FPS, High reaches 108.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 84.7 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 84.5 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p gap. The High preset at 1440p still maintains above 100 FPS, making it suitable for most gaming scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings produce 94.4 FPS, Medium averages 76.9 FPS, High delivers 59.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 44.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 49.5 FPS, a smaller absolute gap than at lower resolutions but proportionally more significant given the lower baseline. The High preset at 4K barely exceeds 60 FPS, while Ultra falls well below the playable threshold for most users.

The data reveals that the performance scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent across resolutions, with each step up in settings costing roughly 20-30% of the previous frame rate. However, the absolute impact of the Ultra preset becomes more severe at higher resolutions, where the 44.9 FPS result is the only measured value below 60 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior of this combination reveals important insights into the system’s bottleneck characteristics. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on High settings, the average frame rate drops from 163.7 FPS to 108.8 FPS, a decrease of 54.9 FPS or approximately 33.5%. This reduction is substantial and indicates that the GPU is becoming more stressed as pixel count increases.

The transition from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 on High settings shows a further drop from 108.8 FPS to 59.6 FPS, a decrease of 49.2 FPS or approximately 45.2%. This steeper decline at higher resolutions strongly suggests that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary limiting factor at 4K, as the GPU’s rendering workload scales with pixel count.

Across all settings, the scaling pattern is consistent. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p (257.9 FPS) to 1440p (169.2 FPS) is 88.7 FPS, and further to 4K (94.4 FPS) is 74.8 FPS. At Medium settings, the corresponding drops are 71.5 FPS (204.8 to 133.3) and 56.4 FPS (133.3 to 76.9). The Ultra preset shows drops of 43.3 FPS (128 to 84.7) and 39.8 FPS (84.7 to 44.9).

The fact that frame rates decrease by roughly 35-45% when moving to each higher resolution tier indicates a GPU-bound scenario. If the system were CPU-bound, the resolution scaling would show minimal FPS differences, as the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant regardless of pixel count. The Intel Core i5-12600KF’s strong single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 1016, Passmark single-thread of 3925) ensures that the CPU is not the bottleneck at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s limits become apparent at 4K.

This analysis suggests that for maximum frame rates at 1080p, the CPU is providing adequate headroom, but the GPU is the component that determines performance ceilings as resolution increases. Users targeting 4K gaming with this combination should expect to use Medium settings or lower to maintain playable frame rates.
