Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile lands in the lower-middle tier of tested hardware combinations for Fivem, securing the 2264th position out of 3707 total combos. This places the pairing in the 39th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 61% of configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this multiplayer title. The data suggests this is a capable but not exceptional match for Fivem, with the ranking reflecting a balance between the CPU's strong multi-threaded potential and the GPU's mid-range mobile positioning.

How This Combo Ranks

The 2264th rank out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem places this system firmly in the middle of the pack, but the context of that position matters. The CPU itself holds a 91st percentile ranking among all processors, while the GPU sits at a 67th percentile among all graphics cards. This gap between component percentiles hints that the graphics solution is the more limiting factor in this specific game, dragging the overall combo ranking below what the processor alone might suggest.

Benchmark data for the individual components reinforces this interpretation. The Core Ultra 5 235HX posts an average benchmark score of 52073, sitting within 0.4% of the Intel Core i7-14700 and 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-13900F in synthetic workloads. Meanwhile, the RTX 4060 Mobile's average score of 22729 places it 0.7% behind the desktop RTX 2080 and 1.3% behind the Intel Arc B580. The CPU clearly punches above its weight class relative to the GPU, and Fivem's frame rates reflect this imbalance.

The measured FPS data confirms that this combo's mid-pack ranking stems from the GPU's performance ceiling. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 168 FPS, but that figure drops precipitously as resolution and settings increase. The ranking of 2264 suggests that while the hardware can handle Fivem's multiplayer environments at playable rates, it does so without the headroom that higher-ranked combos enjoy, particularly in the most demanding configurations.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060 Mobile brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clocks run at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed, while the core operates between a 1545 MHz base and 1890 MHz boost clock. These specifications position the GPU as a mid-range mobile solution, and the Fivem results show how this hardware responds to varying workload demands.

The GPU's 67th percentile ranking among all graphics cards translates to passmark G3D score of 17469, with compute performance at 6816. In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as settings rise. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 30 FPS, while 4K Low reaches 61 FPS — a 31 FPS swing that demonstrates the GPU's sensitivity to graphical load. The 8 GB VRAM capacity proves sufficient across all tested configurations, but the 128-bit memory bus creates bandwidth constraints that surface at higher resolutions.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the RTX 4060 Mobile sits 0.7% behind the RTX 2080 and 0.8% ahead of the RX 7700 XT in average benchmark score. This tight cluster of performance means the GPU's real-world Fivem results are representative of a broad mid-range tier. The data shows that in Fivem, the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K, where even Medium settings yield only 48 FPS, and Ultra drops to 30 FPS — the latter being borderline playable for a multiplayer title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Fivem spans three resolutions and four settings presets, revealing distinct performance tiers. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results: Low settings produce 168 FPS, Medium averages 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 and maximum of 153, High reaches 106 FPS, and Ultra drops to 82 FPS. These figures demonstrate that 1080p gameplay remains fluid across all presets, with even the most demanding Ultra settings staying well above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance curve steepens. Low settings achieve 111 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS with a range of 74 to 100, High falls to 70 FPS, and Ultra settles at 54 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 34% of the frame rate at Low settings, while the Ultra preset loses about 34% as well, indicating a consistent scaling penalty across the resolution jump.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become pronounced. Low settings yield 61 FPS, barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold, while Medium averages 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 and maximum of 56. High manages only 39 FPS, and Ultra drops to 30 FPS. The 4K results show a clear pattern: the RTX 4060 Mobile can handle 4K only at minimal graphical settings, and even then, the frame rate hovers near the edge of playability for a multiplayer experience.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX contributes significantly to Fivem's performance through its 14 cores and 14 threads, operating between a 2.90 GHz base clock and 5.10 GHz boost clock. This Arrow Lake-HX architecture, built on TSMC's 3 nm process, includes 24 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking among all processors underscores its capability in handling Fivem's simulation and networking overhead.

Synthetic benchmarks reveal the CPU's strengths: Cinebench R23 scores reach 34731 multi-core and 4903 single-core, while PassMark multithread hits 40849 with single-thread at 4683. The data compression score of 426417 and floating point math at 129819 indicate robust computational throughput. These results position the CPU close to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, which it trails by just 0.2% in average score, and slightly ahead of the Intel Core i9-13900F by 0.7%.

In Fivem's context, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 168 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed frames faster than the GPU can render them. The 14 threads handle multiplayer server communication and physics calculations efficiently, but the CPU's performance headroom means it rarely becomes the limiting factor in this title. The data indicates that in Fivem, the CPU is not the primary constraint — the GPU's rendering capabilities define the system's ceiling.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to Medium settings as the optimal configuration for most scenarios. At 1080p, Medium delivers 133 FPS with a minimum of 113, providing a 27 FPS improvement over High while maintaining visual quality above Low. The margin between Medium and High grows at higher resolutions: at 1440p, Medium's 87 FPS versus High's 70 FPS represents a 24% advantage, while at 4K, Medium's 48 FPS versus High's 39 FPS shows a 23% gain.

For players prioritizing frame rate above all else, Low settings offer the smoothest experience across every resolution. At 1080p, Low achieves 168 FPS, which drops to 111 FPS at 1440p and 61 FPS at 4K. The Low preset at 4K is the only configuration that maintains 60+ FPS at that resolution, making it the sole viable option for 4K displays. However, the 61 FPS average leaves minimal headroom for frame drops during intense multiplayer moments.

Ultra settings provide the most demanding experience but yield diminishing returns. At 1080p, Ultra's 82 FPS remains playable, but at 1440p it drops to 54 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 30 FPS — the latter being suboptimal for a competitive multiplayer environment. The data suggests that Medium at 1440p offers the best compromise between visual fidelity and performance, providing 87 FPS with a minimum of 74, which maintains smooth gameplay even during heavy action sequences.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling across resolutions reveals the GPU as the dominant bottleneck in this combo. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by approximately 34% at Low settings (168 to 111), 35% at Medium (133 to 87), 34% at High (106 to 70), and 34% at Ultra (82 to 54). This consistent ~34% reduction across all presets indicates a uniform resolution scaling penalty driven by pixel count rather than settings complexity.

The transition from 1440p to 4K shows a steeper decline. Low settings fall from 111 to 61 FPS, a 45% reduction, while Medium drops from 87 to 48 FPS (45% loss), High from 70 to 39 FPS (44% loss), and Ultra from 54 to 30 FPS (44% loss). This accelerated degradation at 4K suggests the GPU's memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s and 128-bit bus become increasingly strained as pixel count grows, with the 8 GB VRAM buffer approaching its limits.

The scaling pattern indicates that the CPU maintains sufficient headroom throughout the resolution range. The consistent percentage drops across all settings presets point to a GPU-limited scenario where the RTX 4060 Mobile's rendering throughput determines frame rates. At 1080p, the combo demonstrates the CPU's capability to drive high frame rates, but as resolution increases, the GPU's 11.61 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 90.72 GPixel/s pixel rate become the constraining factors. The data implies that players seeking higher resolutions should prioritize GPU upgrades, as the Core Ultra 5 235HX provides ample processing power to support faster graphics solutions.
