Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that builds on the Grand Theft Auto V engine, and the data collected for this page measures the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 across three resolutions and four quality presets. The benchmark results show a combination that is heavily influenced by the CPU in lower resolutions and by the GPU at higher ones, with a measurable spread between the Low and Ultra presets. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is a 14-core, 18-thread mobile processor from the Meteor Lake architecture, while the RTX 4070 is an Ada Lovelace GPU with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, and their joint performance in Fivem is cataloged below.

FAQ

Q: What is the best performance the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and RTX 4070 can achieve in Fivem?

A: The highest average frame rate measured is 189 FPS at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. This drops to 124 FPS at 2560x1440 and 69 FPS at 3840x2160 under the same Low settings, showing a clear scaling pattern across resolutions.

Q: How does the RTX 4070's 12 GB VRAM affect Fivem performance?

A: The GPU's memory configuration is fixed at 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, but the measured results show that Fivem's performance is more tied to the preset than to VRAM capacity. The data shows a consistent frame rate drop from Low to Ultra at every resolution, with the largest gap being 120 FPS at 1080p (189 FPS to 92 FPS), indicating the game is sensitive to graphical workload rather than memory limits.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in Fivem for this combo?

A: The data suggests the CPU becomes the primary limiter at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the Low preset hits 189 FPS, but raising to High only yields 119 FPS, while at 4K the same preset change drops from 69 FPS to 44 FPS. The smaller relative drop at 4K indicates the GPU is taking over as the bottleneck, while the 1080p numbers point to the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H's 14-core configuration being the constraint.

Q: What is the combo's overall rank among all tested combinations in Fivem?

A: The data places this pairing at rank 1579 out of 3005 tested combos, which puts it just above the median. This position is consistent with the measured FPS numbers, which show strong 1080p performance but sub-60 FPS at 4K Ultra.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 compare to its nearest rivals in average benchmark score?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 37648, which is 0.1% higher than the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628) and 0.4% higher than the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507). It trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile by 1.3% (38135) and leads the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 by 1.3% (37157).

Q: Which settings preset provides the most balanced experience across all resolutions?

A: The Medium preset offers a middle ground, with average FPS of 149 at 1080p, 98 at 1440p, and 54 at 4K. This preset also includes minimum and maximum FPS data (127-171 at 1080p, 83-113 at 1440p, 46-63 at 4K), providing the only full frame time range measured in the dataset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows a clear trade-off between visual quality and frame rate in Fivem, and the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1920x1080, the High preset at 119 FPS is the most sensible choice for gamers with 120 Hz displays, as it provides a near-ideal frame rate while maintaining higher visual fidelity than the 189 FPS Low setting. The Ultra preset at 92 FPS is also viable for 60 Hz monitors, but the 27 FPS gap between High and Ultra may not justify the visual gains for most users, especially in a multiplayer environment where responsiveness matters.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 78 FPS, which is suitable for 60 Hz panels and gives a solid experience without the sharp drop to 61 FPS seen at Ultra. The Medium preset at 98 FPS is the better choice for 100 Hz or 144 Hz displays, offering a 20 FPS advantage over High while still retaining acceptable visual quality. The Low preset at 124 FPS is the only one that fully saturates a 120 Hz panel, but it sacrifices significant graphical detail that may hurt visibility in a game like Fivem.

For 3840x2160, the data shows that only the Low preset at 69 FPS approaches playable frame rates, while High (44 FPS), Medium (54 FPS), and Ultra (34 FPS) all fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset's 54 FPS average with a 46 FPS minimum is the closest to a smooth experience, but it still risks noticeable stutter. The recommendation is to use Low at 4K for competitive play or Medium for a more visually rich but less fluid session, as the GPU cannot sustain high frame rates at this resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a performance profile that shifts from CPU-bound to GPU-bound as pixel count increases. At the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 189 at 1080p to 124 at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 69 at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline at higher resolutions indicates that the RTX 4070's rendering capabilities are being taxed heavily, while the 1080p result is likely capped by the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H's single-thread performance.

The scaling pattern is different for the Ultra preset, where the drop from 1080p (92 FPS) to 1440p (61 FPS) is 34%, and then from 1440p to 4K (34 FPS) is another 44%. This consistent percentage drop across all presets suggests that Fivem's engine scales uniformly with resolution, but the absolute frame rates at 4K fall below playable levels regardless of settings. The High preset shows a similar trend: 119 FPS at 1080p, 78 FPS at 1440p (a 34% drop), and 44 FPS at 4K (a 44% drop).

The data indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K, as even the Low preset cannot exceed 69 FPS, while the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p where the Low preset's 189 FPS shows headroom that the GPU cannot match at higher resolutions. The 1440p results sit in a middle ground where both components contribute, with the Medium preset at 98 FPS representing a balanced workload distribution between the 14-core CPU and the 12 GB GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and RTX 4070 combination holds rank 1579 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 52nd percentile of all systems. This ranking is modest, given that the GPU alone sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs and the CPU at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, suggesting that Fivem's performance does not fully utilize the strengths of either component. The data shows that the combo's rank is dragged down by the 4K results, where even the best preset (Low at 69 FPS) is below the 60 FPS threshold, while the 1080p Low result of 189 FPS is competitive with higher-tier systems.

Compared to the GPU's nearest rivals, the RTX 4070's average benchmark score of 37648 is nearly identical to the Tesla P4 (37628) and Vega 56 (37507), but the measured FPS in Fivem shows that this GPU is capable of much higher frame rates at lower resolutions. The rank of 1579 suggests that many other combos achieve better Fivem performance, likely due to stronger single-core CPUs or more optimized system configurations. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H's 18 threads are not fully leveraged by Fivem, as the game's multiplayer nature often depends on raw single-thread speed, which is reflected in the 1080p scaling where the CPU caps performance.

The combo's position in the middle of the pack is consistent with the measured data, as it delivers excellent 1080p performance but struggles at 4K. The 1440p Medium preset at 98 FPS provides a solid experience that aligns with the rank, but the 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is far below what the GPU's 81st percentile rank would suggest, indicating a software limitation in Fivem's engine rather than a hardware deficiency.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 features a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs, and these specifications drive the measured FPS in Fivem. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game's textures at all presets, as evidenced by the consistent frame rate drops from Low to Ultra at every resolution. The pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s are the physical limits that govern how quickly the GPU can fill frames at 4K, where the Low preset's 69 FPS is the ceiling.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 37648 places it at the 81st percentile, and its nearest rivals show a tight cluster: 0.1% ahead of the Tesla P4, 0.4% ahead of the Vega 56, 1.3% behind the RTX 4080 Mobile, and 1.3% ahead of the Radeon PRO W6400. In Fivem, the RTX 4070's performance is clearly resolution-dependent, with the 1080p Low result of 189 FPS demonstrating its raw power, while the 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS shows the limits of its 200 W TDP. The GPU's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are not directly relevant to Fivem's rendering path, but the FP32 throughput of 29.15 TFLOPS is what drives the standard rasterization workload.

The fact that the GPU's rank (81st percentile) is higher than the combo's rank (52nd percentile) confirms that the RTX 4070 is not the primary bottleneck in this pairing. The 12 GB VRAM is never a limiting factor in the measured results, as even the 4K Ultra preset at 34 FPS is more likely constrained by the GPU's compute capabilities than its memory capacity. The data suggests that the GPU's performance in Fivem is consistent with its benchmark standing, but the game's engine does not extract the full potential of the Ada Lovelace architecture at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and RTX 4070 produce their best results. The Low preset averages 189 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the dataset, while Medium averages 149 FPS with a minimum of 127 FPS and maximum of 171 FPS, High averages 119 FPS, and Ultra averages 92 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 97 FPS, indicating that the CPU is the limiting factor at this resolution, as the GPU has headroom to render more frames if the processor could supply them.

At 2560x1440, the mid-range resolution, the average FPS values are lower but still playable. Low averages 124 FPS, Medium averages 98 FPS with a range of 83-113 FPS, High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 61 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 34% for each preset, showing a consistent scaling pattern. The Medium preset's minimum of 83 FPS is the most stable frame time data point in the entire measurement set, suggesting that this combination of resolution and settings is well-balanced.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution, all presets fall below 70 FPS. Low averages 69 FPS, Medium averages 54 FPS with a range of 46-63 FPS, High averages 44 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The 4K results show that the GPU is the dominant bottleneck, as even the lowest quality setting cannot reach 60 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 46 FPS and maximum of 63 FPS indicates significant frame time variance, which would be noticeable in gameplay.

The data shows that the Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max information across all three resolutions, providing the most detailed picture of performance stability. The 1080p Medium range of 127-171 FPS shows a 44 FPS variance, the 1440p Medium range of 83-113 FPS shows a 30 FPS variance, and the 4K Medium range of 46-63 FPS shows a 17 FPS variance. This decreasing variance with increasing resolution suggests that the CPU's frame pacing becomes less erratic when the GPU's workload dominates.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H has 14 cores and 18 threads with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, and its 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache are the resources that Fivem's engine can leverage. The CPU's average benchmark score is 27507, placing it at the 79th percentile, and its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (27535, 0.1% higher), Intel Core i5-12600K (27578, 0.3% higher), AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (27578, 0.3% higher), and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G (27382, 0.5% lower). In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p, where the Low preset's 189 FPS is likely capped by the processor's single-thread performance.

The 14-core configuration is overkill for Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod that typically uses only a few threads, but the boost clock of 4.50 GHz provides the single-thread speed needed for high frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p, the gap between Low (189 FPS) and Medium (149 FPS) is 40 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 30 FPS, and High to Ultra is 27 FPS, indicating that the CPU can maintain high frame rates but is sensitive to the additional draw calls and physics computations that higher presets introduce. The CPU's 18 threads do not provide a measurable benefit in Fivem, as the game's engine is not designed to scale across many cores.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support are adequate for feeding the GPU, as the measured frame rates do not show any stutter that would indicate memory starvation. The 7 nm process node and 28 W TDP suggest a power-efficient design, but the mobile form factor means that thermal throttling could be a factor in sustained gameplay, though the data does not capture long-term trends. The CPU's rank of 79th percentile is higher than the combo's rank, confirming that the processor is not the weakest link in this pairing, but its performance in Fivem is limited by the game's reliance on fewer threads.
