Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification framework built around Grand Theft Auto V, presents a demanding workload that scales heavily with both CPU and GPU resources. The data for the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti shows a combination that is positioned in the 1097th spot out of 3005 tested combos, placing it in the 63rd percentile overall. This analysis breaks down the measured frames per second across three resolutions and four quality presets, examining what these numbers reveal about the system's balance, the GPU's capabilities, and the CPU's contribution to overall performance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo in Fivem shows a clear and consistent pattern as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average frame rate is 173 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same Medium preset drops that average to 114 FPS, a reduction of 59 frames. At 3840x2160, the Medium average falls further to 63 FPS, which is 110 frames below the 1080p result. This scaling behavior reveals that the system is heavily influenced by resolution, with the gap between 1080p and 1440p being roughly 34 percent, and the gap between 1440p and 4K being roughly 45 percent.

Looking at the Low preset tells a similar story, though with higher absolute numbers. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 219 FPS. At 1440p Low, that drops to 144 FPS, and at 4K Low, it reaches 80 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 75 frames, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 64 frames. The percentage reductions are comparable to the Medium preset, indicating that the scaling is consistent across settings. The High preset shows 138 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 50 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset produces 107 FPS at 1080p, 71 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K.

The pattern across all four presets suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution climbs. The RTX 5070 Ti, with its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, is being pushed harder at higher pixel counts. The fact that FPS drops by roughly half when moving from 1080p to 4K on every preset indicates that the rendering workload is scaling with pixel count, which is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance. At 1080p, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU could become a factor, but the data does not show any anomaly that would suggest a CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions. The Core Ultra 5 135H, with its 14 cores and 18 threads, appears capable of feeding the GPU adequately at 1080p, as evidenced by the 219 FPS Low result. However, the consistent halving of frame rates from 1080p to 4K points to the GPU as the dominant constraint in this pairing for Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the centerpiece of this combo's graphical performance. Its specifications include a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, with 8960 shading units and 280 texture mapping units. The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for handling high-resolution textures and draw distances common in Fivem's open-world multiplayer environments.

In the measured results, the GPU's role becomes evident when comparing presets at a fixed resolution. At 4K, the Ultra preset averages 39 FPS, while the Low preset averages 80 FPS. This 41-frame difference demonstrates that the GPU is doing significantly more work at higher quality settings. The Medium preset at 4K produces 63 FPS, sitting between Low and High, which is 50 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 13 frames, while the gap between High and Ultra is 11 frames. This suggests that each quality tier imposes a similar incremental load on the GPU.

The RTX 5070 Ti's memory configuration is worth noting in the context of Fivem. With 16 GB of VRAM, the card has ample capacity for the game's assets, even at 4K resolution. The 896.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and geometry data can be fed to the GPU quickly. The benchmark results do not indicate any memory-related stuttering or frame drops, as the minimum FPS values for Medium at 4K are 54 FPS, which is close to the 63 FPS average. This suggests that the GPU is not running out of memory or bandwidth, and the performance is consistent.

The GPU's position relative to other cards, based on its average benchmark score of 49957 and its 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs, indicates that it is a high-performing part. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, which has an average score of 50951 and a deltaPct of -2, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti trails that card by 2 percent. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT has an average score of 48477, and the RTX 5070 Ti leads it by 3.1 percent. These comparisons provide context for its performance class, though the Fivem results specifically show that it is capable of delivering playable frame rates at 1440p and 1080p across all presets, while 4K Ultra falls below 40 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 1097 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the upper-middle range of all tested systems, which is a meaningful indicator of its overall capability. The rank of 1097 means that roughly 36 percent of tested combos perform better, while 64 percent perform worse. This is a solid position, though not at the top tier.

The CPU's individual percentile is 81, meaning it outperforms 81 percent of all CPUs in the database. The GPU's percentile is 86, meaning it outperforms 86 percent of all GPUs. When combined, the combo rank of 1097 out of 3005 suggests that the pairing is well-matched, with neither component dragging the other down significantly. If the CPU were severely underpowered relative to the GPU, the combo rank would likely be lower than either component's individual percentile. Conversely, if the GPU were the weak link, the combo rank would reflect that.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals provides additional context. The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H has an average benchmark score of 29093, which is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X at 29123, a deltaPct of -0.1. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 scores 29245, a deltaPct of -0.5, and the Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 29270, a deltaPct of -0.6. These margins are all within 1 percent, meaning the Core Ultra 5 135H is essentially on par with these other CPUs in synthetic benchmarks. The GPU's nearest rivals similarly show small deltas, with the RX Vega 64 at 50001 (deltaPct -0.1) and the Arc A550M at 49737 (deltaPct 0.4).

The combo's rank of 1097, combined with the component percentiles, indicates that this system is balanced for Fivem. The game appears to benefit from both the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities and the GPU's raw rasterization power, and the measured FPS results reflect a system that can handle high refresh rates at 1080p and solid performance at 1440p, with 4K reserved for lower quality presets.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the recommended settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, every preset delivers playable performance. The Low preset averages 219 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most standard monitors. Medium averages 173 FPS, High averages 138 FPS, and Ultra averages 107 FPS. For competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, the High preset at 1080p offers a strong balance, providing 138 FPS while maintaining better visual quality than Low or Medium. The Ultra preset at 107 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing image quality, though it is close to the 100 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the data shows that High and Medium presets are the most sensible choices. The High preset averages 91 FPS, which is smooth for most gaming scenarios. The Medium preset averages 114 FPS, offering a noticeable frame rate increase with a modest visual trade-off. The Low preset reaches 144 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, but the visual compromise may not be worth it for a game like Fivem where draw distance and texture quality matter. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 71 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced multiplayer scenarios. For most users, the High preset at 1440p provides the best experience per the measured rows, as it delivers nearly 100 FPS with good visual fidelity.

At 3840x2160, the options are more limited. The Low preset averages 80 FPS, which is playable, but the visual downgrade is significant. The Medium preset averages 63 FPS, which is acceptable for slower-paced exploration but may feel sluggish in combat. The High preset drops to 50 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. For 4K gaming with this combo, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it offers a balance between visual quality and frame rate. The 63 FPS average is above the 60 FPS threshold, and the minimum FPS of 54 suggests that most scenes will stay above 50 FPS. The Low preset at 80 FPS could be used for a smoother experience, but the Medium preset is the best compromise.
