This places it above the median, and in Fivem it delivers playable frame rates at 1440p and 1080p, though the 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus may be limiting factors at 4K, where frame rates drop significantly.

Q: Which settings preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS. This provides a high frame rate with a noticeable improvement over Low settings, while High (106 FPS) and Ultra (82 FPS) are also playable but with progressively lower headroom.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the bottleneck in Fivem?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions. At 4K, the frame rate drops from 61 FPS (Low) to 39 FPS (High) and 30 FPS (Ultra), indicating that the RTX 4060 struggles with the pixel count. In contrast, at 1080p, the CPU's 14 cores and 18 threads appear to keep up, as the frame rates scale smoothly with GPU load.

Q: How does the combo's rank compare to the individual component ranks?

A: The CPU is at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 61st percentile, but the combo ranks 1802nd out of 3005 (roughly the 40th percentile) in Fivem. This discrepancy indicates that the game itself is not highly optimized for this hardware, as the individual components are stronger than the in-game result suggests.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which points to the GPU as the dominant factor in Fivem's frame rate scaling. At 1080p, the combo achieves an average of 168 FPS on Low settings, which drops to 133 FPS on Medium and 106 FPS on High, before falling to 82 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the same settings yield 111 FPS (Low), 87 FPS (Medium), 70 FPS (High), and 54 FPS (Ultra). At 4K, the performance takes a significant hit, with averages of 61 FPS (Low), 48 FPS (Medium), 39 FPS (High), and 30 FPS (Ultra).

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows an average drop of roughly 35% across all settings, while the jump from 1440p to 4K results in a further drop of approximately 45%. This steep decline at 4K is a strong indicator that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are insufficient for the higher pixel counts, as the frame rates become marginal for smooth gameplay. The CPU's 14 cores and 18 threads do not appear to be the limiting factor here, as the frame rate consistently tracks the resolution-driven GPU load rather than showing CPU-bound stalls. The data suggests that for the best experience, users should stick to 1080p or 1440p, where the combo maintains respectable performance across all settings, while 4K should be reserved for lower presets if playability is the priority.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 168 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure across all configurations. Medium settings yield an average of 133 FPS, with a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS, providing a solid balance of performance and visual fidelity. High settings drop to 106 FPS, while Ultra falls to 82 FPS, still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play. These numbers show that at 1080p, the combo can handle any preset without issue, though the gap between Low and Ultra (86 FPS) highlights the GPU's workload scaling.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows more variation. Low settings average 111 FPS, which is a 34% drop from 1080p, while Medium averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS. High settings produce 70 FPS, and Ultra drops to 54 FPS, which approaches the lower bound of playability for many users. The 1440p data indicates that the combo is well-suited for this resolution at Low through High settings, but Ultra may require compromises for those seeking consistent frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain high performance. Low settings average 61 FPS, which is barely above the 60 FPS target, while Medium averages 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 FPS and a maximum of 56 FPS. High settings produce only 39 FPS, and Ultra drops to 30 FPS, making these presets largely unplayable for a smooth experience. The 4K results show a clear limitation of the RTX 4060, as the frame rates fall below acceptable thresholds for all but the lowest settings, and even then, the margin is thin.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H is a 14-core, 18-thread processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 112 KB per-core L1 cache provide ample resources for multi-threaded workloads, and its benchmark scores reflect this capability. In Cinebench R23, it scores 11875.5 in multi-core and 1700 in single-core, while in Passmark it achieves 22422 in multi-thread and 3521 in single-thread. These figures place it at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29093.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is somewhat secondary, as the game appears to be more GPU-bound at higher resolutions. However, the 14 cores and 18 threads ensure that the processor does not become a bottleneck at 1080p, where frame rates are high and the CPU must feed the GPU efficiently. The single-core performance, evidenced by the Cinebench R23 score of 1700, is adequate for Fivem's typical single-threaded game logic, while the multi-core headroom helps with background tasks and streaming. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Core i5-13500HX, show nearly identical average scores (29123 and 29270, respectively), indicating that the 135H is competitive with desktop-class parts from the previous generation. The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo, as the frame rates scale consistently with GPU load rather than showing CPU-related dips.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the user's resolution and performance priorities. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset stands out as the best choice, delivering an average of 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS. This provides a significant improvement over Low (168 FPS) in visual quality while maintaining a frame rate that is more than double the 60 FPS target. High settings at 106 FPS and Ultra at 82 FPS are also viable, but Medium offers the best combination of smoothness and visual fidelity, as the 133 FPS average leaves ample headroom for dips in demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again emerges as a strong option, with an average of 87 FPS, a minimum of 74 FPS, and a maximum of 100 FPS. This keeps the frame rate above 60 FPS even at the minimum, making it a reliable choice for competitive play. Low settings at 111 FPS are faster but sacrifice visual quality, while High at 70 FPS and Ultra at 54 FPS are acceptable but less consistent, with Ultra dipping below the 60 FPS threshold. For users prioritizing a stable experience, Medium is the recommended preset at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the options are more limited. Low settings at 61 FPS are the only preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS, but the margin is slim, and the visual quality is notably reduced. Medium at 48 FPS and High at 39 FPS are playable but not ideal, while Ultra at 30 FPS is borderline. Given the data, 4K is not a recommended resolution for this combo, as even Low settings risk frame rate drops in busy multiplayer scenarios. Users seeking a high-quality experience should stick to 1080p or 1440p with Medium or High presets, where the combo can deliver smooth performance without significant compromises.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a mid-range GPU based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, with 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. It operates at a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. Its benchmark scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 95057, and a Passmark G3D score of 19545. These figures place it at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639, which is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666, delta of -0.2%) and the AMD Radeon 780M (17588, delta of +0.3%).

In Fivem, the GPU's role is critical, as the frame rates scale directly with resolution and settings. At 1080p, the RTX 4060 delivers strong performance, with averages ranging from 82 FPS (Ultra) to 168 FPS (Low), showing that the GPU has ample headroom at this resolution. At 1440p, the performance remains solid, with averages between 54 FPS (Ultra) and 111 FPS (Low), though the higher settings begin to show strain. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, with averages dropping to between 30 FPS (Ultra) and 61 FPS (Low), as the 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus struggle to handle the increased pixel count and texture data. The 4K results highlight the GPU's limitations, as the frame rates fall below playable thresholds for most presets, while the 1080p and 1440p results demonstrate that the RTX 4060 is well-matched for these resolutions. The GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 24 RT cores provide sufficient compute power for Fivem's rendering needs, but the memory subsystem proves to be a limiting factor at higher resolutions.
