Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers a top-tier experience in Fivem, securing a rank of 324 out of 3005 tested combos. This places the pairing in the 89th percentile of all systems, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of configurations used for this multiplayer title. The data shows a system that is heavily weighted toward high refresh rate gameplay, with the GPU providing substantial headroom across all tested resolutions. While the CPU’s overall benchmark percentile is similarly strong at 89, the measured frame rates in Fivem suggest a balanced partnership where neither component becomes a consistent bottleneck until the highest settings are enabled.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 324 out of 3005 tested combos puts this system comfortably in the top 11% of all configurations benchmarked in Fivem. This is a strong result, but it is not an absolute top-tier placement, which suggests that while the hardware is excellent, there are other combinations that extract slightly more performance from the game. The ranking reflects the measured FPS data across all resolution and settings combinations, and the scores are consistently high, particularly at lower settings where the frame rates exceed 300 FPS at 1080p.

When compared to the broader field, this combo’s ranking is a product of the GPU's raw throughput and the CPU's ability to feed it. The RTX 4070 Ti sits in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, which is lower than the CPU's 89th percentile, hinting that the graphics card might be the limiting factor in some scenarios. However, the measured FPS indicates that this limitation only becomes apparent at the highest settings. The system’s rank is also influenced by the fact that Fivem is a multiplayer title, which often has variable performance depending on server load and player count, a factor not captured in the static benchmark data.

The delta between this combo and others near its rank is worth noting. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 and Intel Core i9-13900HX, have virtually identical average benchmark scores, with deltas of just 0.1% and -0.1%, respectively. This means that the Core Ultra 5 235 is performing exactly in line with other high-end processors, and the ranking is not being dragged down by CPU performance. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals, including the RTX 5090 Mobile and RTX A6000, show deltas of -0.8% and 1.6%, placing the RTX 4070 Ti in a tight performance band. The result is a combo that is well-matched to deliver consistently high frame rates without any single component falling behind the expected performance curve.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of frame rates in this configuration. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is substantial for a game like Fivem that can be sensitive to texture loading and asset streaming. The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 2310 MHz and a boost of 2610 MHz, are high, and the data shows that it can sustain these frequencies to produce the measured FPS. The memory clock of 1313 MHz, effective at 21 Gbps, further supports the high throughput needed for the game's open-world environments.

The GPU's performance in Fivem is best illustrated by the scaling from Low to Ultra settings. At 1080p Low, the GPU is not the bottleneck, as the average FPS of 305 is well beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. As settings increase to Ultra, the average FPS drops to 150, which still represents a highly playable experience. At 4K, the GPU's role becomes more critical; the drop from 112 FPS at Low to 55 FPS at Ultra shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is being pushed to its limits with maximum settings at this resolution. The data indicates that the GPU has enough power to handle 4K at medium settings, with an average of 88 FPS, but that Ultra settings require a compromise in frame rate.

The RTX 4070 Ti's benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 31624 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5024, place it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. This is a strong showing, and the measured FPS data aligns with this standing. The GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 5090 Mobile, has a slightly higher average benchmark score, but the delta is only -0.8%, meaning the desktop RTX 4070 Ti is not far behind a mobile flagship. This confirms that the GPU is a high-performance part that can deliver excellent results in Fivem, but its 12 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus are the parameters that define its ceiling at extreme settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of which settings offer the best experience for different priorities. For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, the Low preset at 1920x1080 delivers an average of 305 FPS. This is the highest measured frame rate in the dataset and is ideal for players with 240 Hz or even 360 Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 1080p is also strong, with an average of 241 FPS, providing a slight visual improvement while still maintaining very high frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p, the system has significant headroom, and even the High preset at 193 FPS is excellent.

For users with 1440p monitors, the High preset is the optimal choice, yielding an average of 127 FPS. This is a smooth experience for most games and offers a good balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Medium preset at 1440p produces 159 FPS, which is better for esports titles, but the visual difference may not justify the frame rate jump for all users. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 98 FPS, which is still playable but begins to sacrifice the high refresh rate advantage. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot for 1440p, as it maintains a frame rate above 120 FPS while providing better graphics than Medium.

At 4K, the recommendations shift based on tolerance for lower frame rates. The Medium preset at 3840x2160 delivers an average of 88 FPS, with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 101, making it the best option for a high-quality 4K experience. The High preset at 4K yields 70 FPS, which is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but the drop to 55 FPS at Ultra is significant. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the recommended setting, as it provides the best combination of visual quality and smoothness. The Low preset at 4K is not recommended, as it only offers a marginal FPS increase over Medium while substantially reducing visual fidelity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data is comprehensive, covering three resolutions and four settings each. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 305 FPS, which is the highest score in the entire dataset. The Medium preset at 1080p yields an average of 241 FPS, with a minimum of 205 and maximum of 277, showing good consistency. High settings at 1080p produce 193 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 150 FPS. The data shows a clear linear progression, with each settings tier reducing the average FPS by roughly 50-60 FPS at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers an average of 201 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings at 1440p produce 159 FPS, with a range between 135 and 182. High settings yield 127 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 98 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 103 FPS, which is slightly less than the 155 FPS gap observed at 1080p. This indicates that the GPU is becoming a larger factor at higher resolutions, but the CPU is still providing enough performance to keep frame rates high.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset achieves an average of 112 FPS. Medium settings at 4K produce 88 FPS, with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 101. High settings yield 70 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 55 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 57 FPS, which is the smallest absolute gap across all resolutions. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is the dominant factor, and the CPU's influence on frame rates is minimized. The data also shows that the minimum FPS is only recorded for Medium settings, indicating that the system is likely stable at other settings without major dips.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 plays a crucial role in maintaining high frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions and settings. With 14 cores and 14 threads, the CPU has a high core count for a desktop processor, but its lack of hyper-threading means it has fewer threads than some rivals. The base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz provide strong single-thread performance, which is critical for a game like Fivem that may not be fully optimized for multi-core scaling. The CPU's 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 3 MB per core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which can be a factor in open-world games.

The CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14769 and a single-core score of 2085, place it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. This is a strong result, and the data shows that it is competitive with other high-end processors. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, has a nearly identical average benchmark score, with a delta of just 0.1%. This indicates that the Core Ultra 5 235 is performing exactly as expected for its class. The CPU's Passmark multithread score of 37816 and single-thread score of 4516 further confirm its capability.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p with Low settings, where the system achieves 305 FPS. This high frame rate is only possible if the CPU can process the game's logic and draw calls quickly enough to feed the GPU. The fact that the FPS drops significantly as settings increase, even at 1080p (from 305 to 150 FPS), shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher settings. However, the CPU's strong single-thread performance ensures that it does not become a bottleneck at lower settings, allowing the GPU to reach its full potential. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 3 nm process node also suggest efficient power delivery, though this is not directly measured in the FPS data.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a clear trend of decreasing performance as resolution increases, which is expected. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 305. This drops to 201 FPS at 1440p Low, a reduction of 34%. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 112, which is a 63% reduction from 1080p. This scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance does not change with resolution. The data shows that the system is heavily GPU-bound at 4K, with the CPU having less influence on the final frame rate.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings. At High settings, the FPS drops from 193 at 1080p to 127 at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 70 at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p). At Ultra settings, the FPS drops from 150 at 1080p to 98 at 1440p (a 35% reduction) and then to 55 at 4K (a 44% reduction from 1440p). The consistency of these percentages suggests that the performance scaling is primarily a function of pixel count, rather than a sudden change in bottleneck behavior.

The data reveals that the transition from 1080p to 1440p has a similar relative impact across all settings, with a roughly 35% reduction in FPS. However, the transition from 1440p to 4K shows a slightly larger reduction, especially at lower settings. For example, the FPS drops by 44% from 1440p Low to 4K Low, while the drop from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is 44% as well. This indicates that the GPU is being pushed harder at 4K, and the extra pixel count is having a near-linear effect on performance. The system is clearly not CPU-bound at any resolution, as the CPU's performance is sufficient to keep up with the GPU's output. The limiting component is the RTX 4070 Ti, particularly at 4K and Ultra settings, where the frame rates drop below 60 FPS.
