Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 lands at rank 941 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the upper third of all configurations tested. This is a solid but not top-tier position—the combo sits comfortably above the median but well below the elite framerate chasers. The 941st spot out of 3005 means roughly 68% of tested combos deliver higher average FPS in this multiplayer title, which is worth keeping in mind for users who prioritize maximum competitive performance.

The ranking reflects a mobile CPU paired with a desktop-class GPU, and the data shows that the RTX 4080 is doing most of the heavy lifting. In the broader context of the database, the CPU itself holds the 81st percentile among all processors, while the GPU sits at the 86th percentile among all graphics cards—both are above-average components individually, but their combination in this game yields a mid-pack result. This suggests that Fivem's performance ceiling for this pairing is constrained more by the CPU's mobile architecture than by raw GPU muscle, a pattern that becomes clearer when examining resolution scaling and measured framerates.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 2205 MHz with a boost clock of 2505 MHz, and the memory operates at an effective 22.4 Gbps. These specifications allow the card to push substantial pixel throughput at 280.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 48.74 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most evident at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 239 FPS average, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 43 FPS—a 5.5x reduction in framerate as resolution and settings scale up. The 16 GB VRAM buffer is more than sufficient for this game's demands, as Fivem is not a VRAM-heavy title at these settings. The RTX 4080's 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores are largely idle in this workload, since Fivem does not leverage ray tracing or DLSS in the measured scenarios.

The GPU's 86th percentile ranking versus all other graphics cards indicates it is a high-performing part. When compared to its nearest rivals in the database, the RTX 4080 SUPER scores 0.1% higher on average, while the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% ahead and the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is 2.6% ahead—though these deltas are within noise for synthetic benchmarks. The data shows that the RTX 4080's performance in Fivem is primarily gated by the CPU at lower resolutions, where the mobile processor cannot feed the GPU fast enough to reach its full potential.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of CPU limitation at 1080p transitioning to GPU limitation at 4K. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 239 FPS average; at 1440p Low, it drops to 157 FPS (a 34% reduction); and at 4K Low, it falls to 87 FPS (a further 45% reduction). This scaling curve is steeper than what a purely GPU-bound scenario would produce, indicating that the CPU is the bottleneck at lower resolutions—the jump from 1080p to 1440p costs more than expected because the CPU is already near its limit.

At High settings, the pattern shifts. 1080p High yields 151 FPS, 1440p High drops to 99 FPS (34% lower), and 4K High falls to 55 FPS (44% lower than 1440p). The consistent proportional drops across settings suggest that the rendering load scales predictably, but the absolute values point to different limiting factors. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the constraint: even at Low settings, the framerate does not exceed 87 FPS, which is far below what the CPU could theoretically support if the GPU were faster.

The Medium preset provides the only complete min/max data in the pack. At 1080p Medium, the combo averages 189 FPS with a minimum of 160 FPS and maximum of 217 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 124 FPS with a range of 106–143 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 69 FPS with a range of 59–79 FPS. The min-to-max spread narrows as resolution increases, which is typical for a system where the GPU becomes the bottleneck—the framerate becomes more stable because the GPU is working at full capacity.

# Settings Recommendations

The measured data supports a clear hierarchy of presets for this combo in Fivem. At 1080p, every preset delivers playable framerates: Low averages 239 FPS, Medium 189 FPS, High 151 FPS, and Ultra 117 FPS. For competitive multiplayer, the Low preset maximizes refresh-rate headroom, but Medium offers a better balance with 189 FPS average and a minimum of 160 FPS, which keeps the experience smooth even in crowded scenes.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is the sweet spot. It averages 124 FPS with a minimum of 106 FPS, which remains above typical 100 Hz display refresh rates. High at 1440p still delivers 99 FPS average, but the lack of min/max data means users cannot verify whether dips fall below 60 FPS. Ultra at 1440p drops to 77 FPS average, which is acceptable but leaves little headroom for frame-time spikes in multiplayer chaos.

At 4K, the recommendations change dramatically. Medium is the only preset with documented minimum framerates—59 FPS average minimum, which is borderline for a smooth experience. High at 4K averages 55 FPS, and Ultra drops to 43 FPS, both of which are below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider acceptable. Low at 4K averages 87 FPS, but the visual quality trade-off is severe. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended preset: it offers the best balance of visual fidelity and playability, with a minimum framerate that just barely clears 60 FPS.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces the following average framerates: Low settings deliver 239 FPS, Medium delivers 189 FPS with a documented range of 160–217 FPS, High delivers 151 FPS, and Ultra delivers 117 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 122 FPS, indicating that the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution even at maximum settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages shift: Low produces 157 FPS, Medium produces 124 FPS with a range of 106–143 FPS, High produces 99 FPS, and Ultra produces 77 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 34–35% of the framerate across all presets, which is a consistent scaling factor.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 87 FPS, Medium at 69 FPS with a range of 59–79 FPS, High at 55 FPS, and Ultra at 43 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper, costing 45–48% of the framerate across presets. This accelerated decline at 4K confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution, as the RTX 4080 cannot maintain the same scaling efficiency once pixel count overwhelms its compute resources.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data at all three resolutions, which is useful for understanding frame-time consistency. At 1080p, the spread from min to max is 57 FPS; at 1440p, the spread narrows to 37 FPS; at 4K, the spread narrows further to 20 FPS. This tightening of the framerate range at higher resolutions indicates that GPU-bound scenarios produce more consistent frame pacing, whereas CPU-bound scenarios at 1080p allow the GPU to burst to higher peaks but also dip lower when the CPU stalls.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H is a 14-core, 18-thread mobile processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 28 W. The cache hierarchy includes 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. This processor supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 239 FPS average, which is close to what the CPU can sustain. The drop to 157 FPS at 1440p Low (a 34% reduction) is steeper than the pixel count increase (77% more pixels), indicating that the CPU cannot fully feed the GPU as resolution increases—but the fact that the framerate still drops substantially suggests the GPU is also being stressed.

The CPU's benchmark scores provide context for its gaming performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 11875.5 in multi-core and 1700 in single-core. In PassMark, it achieves 22422 in multithreaded tests and 3521 in single-thread tests. These numbers place it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29093. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, scores nearly identically (29123, just 0.1% higher), which indicates that the 135H offers comparable CPU compute to a well-regarded desktop part from a previous generation.

The 18 threads are relevant for Fivem because the game's multiplayer nature means many players, vehicles, and scripts are active simultaneously. The 14 cores (likely a mix of performance and efficiency cores given the Meteor Lake architecture) provide enough parallel throughput to handle this workload without becoming a hard bottleneck at 1080p. However, the data shows that at 4K, the framerate is clearly GPU-limited: even at Low settings, the average is only 87 FPS, which is far below what the CPU could theoretically support. This confirms that the RTX 4080 is the limiting factor at 4K, while the CPU becomes more of a constraint as resolution decreases.

The CPU's TDP of 28 W is remarkably low for a processor that delivers this level of performance, which is typical of the mobile segment. This low power envelope means the 135H will not sustain high boost clocks indefinitely under heavy load, but in Fivem—which is not a heavily threaded game—the single-core performance of 1700 in Cinebench R23 and 3521 in PassMark single-thread is sufficient to maintain competitive framerates. The data shows that this combo's rank of 941 out of 3005 is respectable, and the CPU's contribution to that ranking is solid but not exceptional. Players seeking higher framerates at 1080p would benefit more from a stronger CPU than a stronger GPU, while those playing at 4K would see no benefit from a CPU upgrade given the GPU's clear limitation.
