# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, housing 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. Its base clock runs at 2340 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz, while memory operates at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth—critical for Fivem's multiplayer environments where many players, vehicles, and textures load simultaneously.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's compute capabilities are substantial: 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, alongside 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. This translates to a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance reaching 44.10 TFLOPS. The GPU's 285 W TDP and triple-slot design indicate it is built for sustained high-load gaming.

Examining the measured FPS data, the GPU demonstrates clear scaling with settings. At 3840x2160, average FPS moves from 55 (Ultra) to 71 (High), then jumps to 89 (Medium) and peaks at 112 (Low). This 57 FPS spread between Ultra and Low at 4K suggests that the GPU is heavily taxed by the highest settings, with Ultra demanding nearly double the rendering work compared to Low.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 76 places it comfortably above average, yet its nearest rivals in synthetic tests—the Quadro M5000 (0.4% faster) and GRID M60-1Q (0.4% faster)—are workstation-oriented cards, which underscores that raw compute scores do not always predict gaming performance. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's direct gaming measurements in Fivem show it delivering playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra (55 FPS average), which is notable for a multiplayer title with dynamic content.

# How This Combo Ranks

The combo of Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves rank 287 out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the 90.5th percentile of all combos. This is a strong result, indicating that this pairing is well-balanced for the game's demands. The CPU's average benchmark score of 46062 places it at the 89th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU's 76th percentile suggests the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing.

When contextualizing the rank, it is important to note that Fivem is a multiplayer modification of Grand Theft Auto V, which is known to be CPU-intensive due to its simulation of multiple players and entities. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235's 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost of 5.00 GHz, provide strong single-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2085) that is crucial for such workloads. The rank of 287 suggests that this combo outperforms the vast majority of systems, likely due to the CPU's high single-thread performance combined with the GPU's substantial rasterization power.

Compared to its nearest CPU rivals in synthetic benchmarks, the Core Ultra 5 235 is virtually tied with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 (0.1% faster) and the Intel Core i9-13900HX (0.1% slower). This indicates that within this performance tier, the CPU is not the differentiating factor; rather, the GPU's capabilities and the game's optimization determine the final FPS. The combo's rank of 287 out of 3005 suggests that many other systems with higher-end GPUs or more optimized CPUs achieve better results, but this pairing remains firmly in the upper echelon for Fivem.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides average FPS measurements across three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with minimum and maximum values recorded only for Medium settings.

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings produce an average of 308 FPS, Medium averages 243 FPS (min 206, max 279), High averages 194 FPS, and Ultra averages 151 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a stepwise reduction of roughly 65 FPS per tier, with the Ultra preset still delivering well above 144 Hz refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS figures drop significantly: Low yields 203 FPS, Medium averages 160 FPS (min 136, max 184), High averages 128 FPS, and Ultra averages 99 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 104 FPS, which is proportionally larger than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is becoming more of a bottleneck as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 112 FPS, Medium at 89 FPS (min 75, max 102), High at 71 FPS, and Ultra at 55 FPS. The Ultra preset dips below 60 FPS, which may be noticeable on high refresh rate displays, though it remains playable. The minimum FPS of 75 at Medium 4K is particularly noteworthy, as it suggests the GPU maintains consistent frame delivery even under load.

The Medium settings offer the only complete min/max data across all resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 206-279 FPS (a 73 FPS spread); at 1440p, it is 136-184 FPS (a 48 FPS spread); and at 4K, it is 75-102 FPS (a 27 FPS spread). This narrowing range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU's workload becomes more consistent, with less variance in frame times as the pixel pipeline is saturated.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 308 (1080p) to 203 (1440p) to 112 (4K)—a 63.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Medium, the drop is from 243 to 160 to 89, a 63.4% reduction. High settings go from 194 to 128 to 71, a 63.4% reduction. Ultra settings go from 151 to 99 to 55, a 63.6% reduction.

The consistency of this ~63% reduction across all settings strongly suggests that the GPU is the primary scaling bottleneck. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see less FPS degradation at higher resolutions because the GPU would have more time to render frames while waiting for CPU data. Instead, the near-linear scaling with pixel count indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's rendering throughput is the limiting factor.

However, the absolute FPS values at 1080p (151-308 FPS) are so high that the CPU's single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2085) may still be a factor in the highest-FPS scenarios. At 1080p Low, the 308 FPS average approaches the CPU's ability to feed draw calls, particularly in Fivem's multiplayer context where many entities demand CPU attention. The fact that the CPU ranks at the 89th percentile among all CPUs suggests it has ample headroom, but the game's engine may still impose a soft ceiling.

The scaling pattern also shows that the GPU's 16 GB of VRAM is not a limiting factor, as even at 4K Ultra with many textures loaded, the average FPS of 55 remains above the playability threshold. The 672.3 GB/s memory bandwidth appears sufficient for Fivem's needs, as we do not see a disproportionate drop at 4K that would indicate memory saturation.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 is a 14-core, 14-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 3 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 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 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14769 and a single-core score of 2085. The single-core result is particularly relevant for Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to per-thread performance due to the game's simulation of numerous AI and player entities. The PassMark single-thread score of 4516 reinforces this strength, placing the CPU at the 89th percentile among all CPUs.

The CPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score are all within 0.2% of its 46062 average, which includes the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 (46030) and Intel Core i9-13900HX (46098). This clustering suggests that the Core Ultra 5 235 is positioned in a highly competitive performance tier, where its 14 cores and 5.00 GHz boost clock provide comparable throughput to mobile HX-series chips and server EPYC processors.

For Fivem specifically, the CPU's 14 threads may be more than sufficient, as the game likely does not scale perfectly across all cores. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 308 FPS, which is likely approaching the game engine's physics or simulation update rate limits. The CPU's 24 MB of L3 cache helps reduce memory latency when accessing game state data, which is crucial in multiplayer scenarios with many dynamic objects.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s is modest compared to the GPU's 672.3 GB/s, but for Fivem's CPU-bound simulation, the low-latency DDR5 memory is more important than raw bandwidth. The CPU's integrated graphics (Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 24EU) is not used in this configuration, but its presence does not affect gaming performance.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate, but the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions.

At 1920x1080, Medium settings provide an average of 243 FPS with a minimum of 206 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even on 240 Hz displays. The jump to High (194 FPS) is substantial, but the visual improvements may not justify the 20% performance loss. Ultra at 151 FPS is still playable on 144 Hz monitors but begins to approach the threshold where frame drops become noticeable.

At 2560x1440, Medium delivers an average of 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS, which comfortably exceeds 120 Hz refresh rates. High at 128 FPS is also viable, offering a 25% visual quality increase for a 20% FPS reduction. Ultra at 99 FPS is playable but may exhibit occasional stutter if the game engine has CPU-side hitches.

At 3840x2160, Medium is the recommended preset, providing an average of 89 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS. This ensures a consistently smooth experience on 60 Hz and 75 Hz displays. High at 71 FPS is acceptable for 60 Hz panels, but the margin above 60 FPS is thin. Ultra at 55 FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold, which may cause perceptible judder on standard refresh rate monitors. Low at 4K yields 112 FPS, but the visual degradation is likely too severe for the resolution's benefits.

The Medium preset's min/max data (206-279 at 1080p, 136-184 at 1440p, 75-102 at 4K) shows the most stable frame delivery across all resolutions, with the narrowest relative variance. This consistency is valuable in Fivem, where frame-time spikes can be caused by other players' actions or scripted events.

For users with high refresh rate monitors (144 Hz or higher), the Low preset at 1440p (203 FPS) or Medium at 1080p (243 FPS) provides the best combination of smoothness and responsiveness. For 4K users, Medium at 89 FPS is the clear winner, offering a 25% improvement over High (71 FPS) while maintaining visual fidelity that is largely indistinguishable at that resolution. Ultra should be avoided at 4K due to the 55 FPS average, which introduces unnecessary risk of stuttering in a multiplayer environment.
