CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is a 10-core, 10-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR5 with a bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, and it uses the Intel Socket 1851.

In terms of raw compute, the CPU scores 25891 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 3655 in single-core. These numbers place it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36938. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F matches it at 0% delta, while the Ryzen 5 5500X3D is only 0.2% ahead, and the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is 0.4% ahead. The Intel Core i9-12900T is 0.5% ahead. This means the Ultra 5 225 is effectively on par with these alternatives in synthetic tests, with no meaningful performance gap.

For Fivem, the CPU’s role is significant because the game is a multiplayer modification framework built on an older engine. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo reaches 260 FPS average, which suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work to do. The single-core score of 3655 in Cinebench R23 is relevant here because Fivem’s simulation and scripting workloads often rely on single-thread performance. The boost clock of 4.90 GHz helps keep frame pacing consistent, though the measured data does not include per-core utilization. The CPU’s 10 threads handle the game’s background tasks, but the lack of hyperthreading (10 cores, 10 threads) means it relies on physical cores rather than additional logical threads.

The PassMark single-thread score of 4412 and multithread score of 30459 provide context for how the CPU handles mixed workloads. In Fivem, where the server tick rate and client-side scripting can vary, the CPU’s strong single-thread performance is an asset. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 47, which indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at that settings level, while at 1080p Low, the 260 FPS average suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high rates. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking reinforces that it is a solid mid-to-upper tier part, but the overall combo ranking of 650th out of 3005 shows that other factors, such as GPU and memory configuration, play a larger role in Fivem’s final performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, using the AD104 chip built on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1920 MHz and boost clock is 2475 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). It features 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 158.4 GPixel/s, texture rate is 455.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 29.15 TFLOPS. The TDP is 200 W, and it uses a single 16-pin power connector with a suggested PSU of 550 W.

In benchmark terms, the RTX 4070 scores 26927 in PassMark G3D and 14720 in GPU compute. It holds an 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37648. Its nearest rivals are all within a tight band: the NVIDIA Tesla P4 is 0.1% behind, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is 0.4% behind, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% ahead, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 is 1.3% behind. This indicates that the RTX 4070 sits in a competitive performance tier, with no single rival dominating it by more than 1.3% in average score.

For Fivem, the GPU’s role is evident in the measured FPS scaling across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 128 on Ultra to 260 on Low. At 2560x1440, the range is 84 on Ultra to 171 on Low. At 3840x2160, the range is 47 on Ultra to 95 on Low. The 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures at all tested settings, as none of the rows show a catastrophic drop that would indicate memory overflow. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth helps maintain consistent frame rates in busy multiplayer scenes, though the data does not isolate those scenarios.

The boost clock of 2475 MHz is a key factor in the GPU’s ability to push high frame rates at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 260 FPS average suggests the GPU is not the bottleneck, and the CPU is likely the limiting factor. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes more dominant. At 4K Ultra, the 47 FPS average shows the GPU’s limits under maximum load, while at 4K Low, the 95 FPS average indicates that reducing settings can nearly double performance. The RTX 4070’s 81st percentile ranking means it outperforms 81% of all GPUs tested, which aligns with the observed results: strong at 1080p and 1440p, and capable at 4K with adjusted settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 650th out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 21.6% of all configurations, which is a solid result for a mid-range CPU paired with an upper-mid-range GPU. The rank reflects the combined performance of both components, and the data shows that the GPU carries more weight in Fivem’s results. The CPU’s 85th percentile and GPU’s 81st percentile individually suggest they are well-matched, with neither being a clear weak point.

Relative to the CPU’s nearest rivals, the combo’s rank is not directly comparable because the ranking depends on the GPU pairing. However, the CPU’s average benchmark score of 36938 is nearly identical to its rivals, so swapping in a Ryzen 5 5600F or Ryzen 5 5500X3D would likely produce similar FPS in Fivem, assuming the same RTX 4070. The GPU’s nearest rivals, such as the RX Vega 56 or RTX 4080 Mobile, would change the results more substantially because the GPU has a larger impact on frame rates in this game.

The rank of 650 out of 3005 means there are 649 combos that perform better, which likely include higher-tier GPUs like the RTX 4080 or 4090, or CPUs with more cores and higher clocks. The data does not list those combos, but the percentile ranks give context: the CPU is in the 85th percentile and the GPU is in the 81st percentile, so the combo is slightly above average for both. The gap between this combo’s rank and the top combos is significant, but for the target audience of 1080p and 1440p gamers, the performance is more than adequate, as shown by the measured FPS.

The combo’s rank also reflects the game’s optimization. Fivem is known for being CPU-heavy in certain scenarios, but the measured data shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU’s 10 cores and 4.9 GHz boost clock are enough to keep up with the RTX 4070, as evidenced by the 260 FPS Low result. At 4K, the GPU’s 29.15 TFLOPS are stretched, and the rank would likely improve if the GPU were more powerful. Overall, the 650th rank is a balanced outcome for this hardware pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, for a total of 12 rows. At 1920x1080, the average FPS is highest on Low at 260, followed by Medium at 205, High at 164, and Ultra at 128. The Medium row also reports a min of 175 and max of 236, indicating a 61 FPS spread. At 2560x1440, the average FPS is 171 on Low, 135 on Medium (min 115, max 156), 108 on High, and 84 on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops to 95 on Low, 75 on Medium (min 64, max 86), 60 on High, and 47 on Ultra.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is moderate. For example, on Low settings, the average FPS drops from 260 to 171, a 34% reduction. On Ultra, it drops from 128 to 84, a 34% reduction as well. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is steeper. On Low, the average goes from 171 to 95, a 44% reduction. On Ultra, it goes from 84 to 47, a 44% reduction. This pattern suggests that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the percentage drop is consistent across settings.

The settings presets have a clear impact at each resolution. At 1080p, going from Low to Ultra reduces the average FPS from 260 to 128, a 51% drop. At 1440p, the drop is from 171 to 84, also a 51% drop. At 4K, the drop is from 95 to 47, a 51% drop. This consistency indicates that the settings presets scale uniformly, with each tier (Low to Medium, Medium to High, High to Ultra) costing a similar percentage of performance.

The minimum FPS data is only available for Medium settings. At 1080p Medium, the min is 175, which is 85% of the average 205. At 1440p Medium, the min is 115, which is 85% of the average 135. At 4K Medium, the min is 64, which is 85% of the average 75. This suggests that the combo maintains a stable frame rate even in less optimal moments, with the minimum never falling below 85% of the average across the three resolutions.

The maximum FPS data shows headroom. At 1080p Medium, the max is 236, which is 15% above the average. At 1440p Medium, the max is 156, also 15% above the average. At 4K Medium, the max is 86, 15% above the average. This consistency indicates that the frame time distribution is tight, with no major spikes or stutters in the measured data.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 164 FPS average, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on many monitors. The Ultra preset drops to 128 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom. For 1080p, the Medium preset at 205 FPS is the sweet spot for competitive play, while High provides a balance of visual quality and performance. The Low preset at 260 FPS is only useful for players with 240 Hz or higher displays who prioritize frame rate above all else.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 108 FPS average, which is suitable for 60 Hz and 100 Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 135 FPS is better for 144 Hz displays, as it provides enough headroom to avoid dips below the refresh rate, given the min of 115 FPS. The Ultra preset at 84 FPS is acceptable for 60 Hz monitors but may feel less fluid on higher refresh displays. For 1440p, the Medium preset offers the best combination of visual fidelity and performance, with the min FPS of 115 ensuring a smooth experience on 100 Hz and 120 Hz panels.

At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers 60 FPS average, which is exactly the threshold for 60 Hz displays. The Medium preset at 75 FPS provides some headroom, with a min of 64 FPS, ensuring that frame drops do not fall below 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 47 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold and is not recommended for smooth play. The Low preset at 95 FPS is viable for 4K monitors with 120 Hz refresh rates, though the visual quality reduction is significant. For 4K, the Medium preset is the best balance, as it stays above 60 FPS in the average and minimum measurements.

The data indicates that the combo is best utilized at 1080p and 1440p, where it can achieve high refresh rates. At 1080p, the High preset is recommended for most users, as it offers a 164 FPS average with no minimum data to suggest instability. At 1440p, the Medium preset is the top recommendation, with a 135 FPS average and a min of 115 FPS, which is ideal for 120 Hz monitors. At 4K, the Medium preset is the only one that consistently stays above 60 FPS in both average and minimum, making it the only viable option for smooth play.
