Fivem

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Fivem with the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT reveals a predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drops tells a specific story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 200 FPS average. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops that to 132 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls to 73 FPS, which represents a 63.5% drop from the 1080p figure. These are substantial losses that point directly at the GPU as the limiting component once resolution climbs.

The scaling behavior under High settings is equally telling. At 1080p High, the system delivers 126 FPS. At 1440p High, that number drops to 83 FPS, a 34% decrease that mirrors the Low preset scaling almost exactly. At 4K High, the average falls to 46 FPS, a 63.5% drop from 1080p High. The consistency of these percentage drops across different settings presets strongly indicates that the Radeon RX 6750 XT is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, while the Core Ultra 5 235 has ample headroom to feed frames at 1080p.

Ultra settings show the steepest cliff. The 1080p Ultra average of 98 FPS is already 22% lower than the High preset at the same resolution, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a heavy load. At 1440p Ultra, the average collapses to 65 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it bottoms out at just 36 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured figure in the entire dataset, sitting below even the 4K Medium average of 58 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset at 4K pushes the GPU past its comfortable operating range, producing a playable-but-barely experience.

The Medium preset provides the only rows with min and max FPS data, which offers a window into frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the average is 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 and maximum of 182, a spread of 48 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 104 FPS with a minimum of 88 and maximum of 120, a spread of 32 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 and maximum of 66, a spread of 17 FPS. The shrinking spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated, reducing the variance between the fastest and slowest frames.

What the data does not show is any sign of CPU limitation. Fivem is known as a multiplayer game that can be demanding on processors, but the Core Ultra 5 235 with 14 cores and 14 threads appears more than sufficient for this workload. The smooth scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K follows the expected GPU-bound trajectory, with no anomalous plateaus or regressions that would suggest the CPU is holding back performance at lower resolutions. The 200 FPS ceiling at 1080p Low is likely a practical limit imposed by the game engine or the GPU's rendering pipeline rather than the processor.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT achieves a combo rank of 1318 out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem. This places the pairing in the 56th percentile of all tested combos, meaning roughly 44% of configurations tested deliver better performance in this specific game. The rank is a composite measure that accounts for performance across the resolution and settings matrix, giving a holistic view of how this pairing handles Fivem's demands.

The CPU itself sits in the 89th percentile versus all CPUs in the benchmark database, with an average benchmark score of 46062. That places the Core Ultra 5 235 in the upper tier of processors, though its nearest rivals show just how tight the competition is. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 scores 46030, a 0.1% delta. The Intel Core i9-13900HX scores 46098, a -0.1% delta. The AMD EPYC 4364P scores 45970, a 0.2% delta. The AMD EPYC 7303 scores 45960, also a 0.2% delta. All four rivals are within 0.3% of the Core Ultra 5 235, which means the CPU's performance tier is extremely crowded and any of these processors would deliver nearly identical results in Fivem.

The AMD Radeon R9 M395X scores 25891, a 0.5% delta. The AMD FirePro W7100 scores 25856, a 0.6% delta. The AMD FirePro D700 scores 25842, a 0.7% delta. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile scores 25740, a 1.1% delta. The RX 6750 XT leads all of these, but the margins are slim, ranging from 0.5% to 1.1%. This suggests the GPU is a solid mid-to-upper tier performer but not a standout in its class.

The combination of a top-decile CPU with a mid-upper-tier GPU explains the 1318 rank. The CPU is doing its part, but the GPU is the performance ceiling in Fivem. The combo rank reflects this asymmetry, placing the pairing in the upper half of all tested configurations but well short of the top tier. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification platform for Grand Theft Auto V, the measured results show that the GPU is the component to upgrade first if higher frame rates are desired, particularly at 1440p and 4K resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Fivem spans three resolutions and four settings presets, producing twelve distinct data points. At 1920x1080, the results are consistently strong. Low settings produce an average of 200 FPS, the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 and maximum of 182. High settings deliver 126 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 98 FPS, which is still a very playable frame rate for most displays.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains respectable but shows the expected decline. Low settings average 132 FPS, a 34% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium settings average 104 FPS with a minimum of 88 and maximum of 120, maintaining a smooth experience. High settings average 83 FPS, which is still suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming. Ultra settings fall to 65 FPS, representing a 34% drop from the 1080p Ultra result, maintaining the consistent scaling pattern.

At 3840x2160, the results become more challenging. Low settings average 73 FPS, which is playable but no longer high-refresh-rate territory. Medium settings average 58 FPS with a minimum of 49 and maximum of 66, providing a stable but modest experience. High settings average 46 FPS, which is on the edge of smoothness for many players. Ultra settings average 36 FPS, which is the only result in the dataset that falls below the 40 FPS threshold, indicating a configuration that may feel sluggish in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min and max data across all three resolutions. This allows for a detailed look at frame time consistency. At 1080p, the spread from min to max is 48 FPS, indicating a wide range of frame times. At 1440p, the spread narrows to 32 FPS. At 4K, the spread narrows further to 17 FPS. This tightening suggests that as the GPU becomes more fully utilized, the frame delivery becomes more uniform, albeit at lower average rates.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the decisive component in this pairing's Fivem performance. With 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, the GPU has a memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The memory runs at 2250 MHz, which translates to 18 Gbps effective. These memory specifications are well-suited to Fivem's open-world multiplayer environments, which often involve streaming large textures and geometry as players move through the game world.

The GPU's clock speeds are notable for a card in this class. The base clock is 2150 MHz, the game clock is 2495 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 2600 MHz. These high clock speeds, combined with 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, give the RX 6750 XT a theoretical FP32 performance of 13.31 TFLOPS. The pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 416.0 GTexel/s. These figures explain why the card performs as well as it does at 1080p and 1440p, where the rasterization throughput can be fully utilized.

The GPU's 40 ray tracing cores and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 mean it is feature-complete for modern gaming APIs. However, Fivem is based on Grand Theft Auto V, which uses an older rendering pipeline. The ray tracing hardware is unlikely to be heavily exercised in this game, meaning the card's traditional rasterization performance is what matters most. The measured results bear this out, with the card delivering strong 1080p performance that only degrades significantly at 4K Ultra, where the 64 ROPs and 432 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors.

The GPU's 71st percentile ranking versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26011, indicates it is a competent mid-upper tier card. Its nearest rivals are all within 1.1% of its score, showing that the performance class is competitive. The RX 6750 XT's 250 W TDP and dual-slot form factor are typical for this performance tier, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provides adequate bandwidth for the 12 GB frame buffer. For Fivem specifically, the data shows that the GPU is the constraining factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU has more than enough headroom to keep feeding frames.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which settings preset offers the best experience for the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination in Fivem. The choice depends heavily on the target resolution and the player's preference for frame rate versus visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the High preset at 126 FPS is the best balance of visual quality and performance. It is 28 FPS slower than Medium at 158 FPS, but the visual uplift from Medium to High is typically more noticeable than the frame rate difference, especially on displays with a 144 Hz refresh rate. The Ultra preset at 98 FPS is also viable, but the 22% drop from High to Ultra may not justify the marginal visual improvements in a multiplayer game where responsiveness matters. Players with 240 Hz displays should consider the Medium preset at 158 FPS, which provides a substantial frame rate boost while maintaining reasonable visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 83 FPS is the recommended choice for most players. It delivers a smooth experience on 60 Hz and 75 Hz displays and is close to the threshold for 144 Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 104 FPS offers a better frame rate for high-refresh-rate displays, and the min FPS of 88 ensures that dips remain playable. The Ultra preset at 65 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay but may feel less responsive in competitive multiplayer scenarios. The Low preset at 132 FPS is the best choice for competitive players who prioritize frame rate above all else.

At 3840x2160, the options are more limited. The Low preset at 73 FPS is the only configuration that consistently stays above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K gaming. The Medium preset at 58 FPS is playable, but the minimum of 49 FPS means there will be noticeable stutters during busy scenes. The High preset at 46 FPS and Ultra preset at 36 FPS are best avoided for serious gameplay, as they fall below the threshold for smooth motion. Players who want higher quality at 4K should consider lowering the resolution or upgrading the GPU.

The Medium preset deserves special mention because it is the only preset with complete min and max FPS data. At 1080p, it delivers a minimum of 134 FPS, ensuring no frame drops below the 120 FPS threshold. At 1440p, the minimum of 88 FPS keeps the experience above 60 FPS with headroom. At 4K, the minimum of 49 FPS is the lowest recorded in the dataset, indicating that even Medium settings at 4K will have occasional dips below 50 FPS. For players who value consistency, the Medium preset offers the most predictable performance profile across all resolutions, making it a safe default choice.
