Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 produces a highly specific performance profile in Fivem, one that is heavily dependent on both resolution and graphical preset. The measured data shows a system that can handle the game at 1080p with reasonable fluidity at lower settings, but which struggles significantly as resolution and visual fidelity increase. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across all tested configurations, explains the roles of the CPU and GPU based solely on their specifications, and provides actionable settings recommendations derived from the data.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate that the optimal experience for this combination in Fivem is found at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. This configuration delivers an average of 77 FPS, which is the highest average frame rate recorded across any resolution or setting combination in the entire dataset. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p is substantial, with the average dropping from 77 FPS to 60 FPS, a reduction of 17 frames per second. While 60 FPS is generally considered playable, the Low preset provides a more comfortable margin above that threshold, which is particularly valuable in a multiplayer game where frame time consistency can affect gameplay responsiveness. The Medium preset does offer a measured minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 70 FPS, suggesting that the experience is still within a playable range, but the Low preset’s higher average and lack of measured minimum data points to a more stable overall output.

At 2560x1440, the situation becomes more constrained. The Low preset yields an average of 50 FPS, which is the only configuration at this resolution that breaks the 50 FPS barrier. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 46 FPS. For users who prioritize visual quality over raw frame rate, this Medium setting might be acceptable, but the data shows that the gap between Low and Medium at 1440p is nearly identical to the gap at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor. The High preset at 1440p drops to 32 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 25 FPS, making those settings difficult to recommend for any sustained play. For 3840x2160, all presets produce averages below 30 FPS, with even the Low preset managing only 28 FPS. This resolution should be avoided entirely with this hardware combination, as the frame rates fall into a range that is generally considered unplayable for a fast-paced multiplayer title.

The data strongly suggests that the best experience per the measured rows is achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This configuration provides the highest average FPS and avoids the frame rate collapse seen at higher resolutions. If a user insists on using the Medium preset, the 1080p Medium setting at 60 FPS average is the next best option, but it comes with a measured minimum of 51 FPS, which could result in noticeable hitches during intense in-game moments. The Ultra preset at any resolution fails to provide a playable experience, with the best Ultra result being 38 FPS at 1080p, which is still below the 60 FPS target most players prefer.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the primary bottleneck in this system for Fivem’s graphical demands. Its specifications reveal a GPU that is well past its prime for modern titles. The card features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The 4 GB frame buffer is a critical limitation, especially at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, the game’s texture and buffer demands likely exceed what 4 GB can efficiently handle, which explains the catastrophic frame rates observed. The Low preset at 4K averages only 28 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 14 FPS. This pattern strongly indicates that memory capacity and bandwidth are insufficient for 4K rendering, regardless of the graphical settings chosen.

The GPU’s clock speeds are modest by modern standards, with a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz. The memory operates at 1750 MHz, which translates to 7 Gbps effective. These clocks, combined with the Polaris 20 chip’s 2048 shading units, deliver a measured FP32 performance of 5.095 TFLOPS. The pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 159.2 GTexel/s. These numbers place the RX 570 in a performance tier that is roughly comparable to the AMD Radeon RX 470, which is listed as a nearest rival with a deltaPct of -0.8, meaning the RX 570 scores about 0.8% lower than the RX 470 in average benchmark scores. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 74 against all GPUs indicates that it sits above the median, but this is a historical ranking that does not account for the increasing demands of newer games like Fivem, which has been continuously updated since its 2017 release.

The GPU’s memory configuration is particularly telling when examining the FPS drop from Medium to High settings. At 1080p, the Medium preset averages 60 FPS, but High falls to 48 FPS, a 12 FPS drop. At 1440p, the same settings transition sees a drop from 40 FPS to 32 FPS. This consistent 20-25% performance penalty when moving from Medium to High suggests that the GPU’s shading units and memory bandwidth are being saturated, not just the frame buffer. The RX 570’s 128 texture mapping units and 32 render output units are simply not sufficient to maintain high frame rates when the game’s render distance and shadow quality are increased. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution above 1080p Low, as the CPU’s capabilities are not fully utilized in these scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and the AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 2867 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 5% of all configurations. This ranking is a direct reflection of the GPU’s age and limited performance relative to the game’s current requirements. The combo’s rank is not surprising given that the RX 570 is an end-of-life product that was released in April 2017, while Fivem is a multiplayer mod that has seen years of graphical updates and increased asset complexity. The CPU, by contrast, is a much more modern component, but its potential is largely unrealized in this pairing because the GPU cannot keep up with the demands of higher frame rates.

The CPU itself ranks in the 90th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48995. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, which scores 49196 and is 0.4% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, which scores 49228 and is 0.5% higher. The Intel Xeon Gold 5318H is 0.6% lower, and the Intel Core i5-14600K is 0.8% lower. These tight deltaPct values indicate that the Ultra 5 245 is a very competitive processor in synthetic benchmarks, but in Fivem, its performance is hamstrung by the GPU. The combo rank of 2867 out of 3005 suggests that the vast majority of tested systems, likely those with more balanced or modern GPU pairings, outperform this configuration by a significant margin. The data shows that the CPU is not the reason for this low rank; rather, it is the GPU that drags the overall combo down to the bottom percentile.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of how this system performs across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers the best result with an average of 77 FPS. The Medium preset averages 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 70 FPS, indicating some variability but generally playable performance. The High preset drops to 48 FPS average, and the Ultra preset falls to 38 FPS average. These numbers show a clear linear progression of performance loss as settings increase, with each step from Low to Ultra costing roughly 10-19 FPS. For a 1080p gamer, the Low preset is the only configuration that provides a comfortable frame rate buffer above 60 FPS, while Medium is borderline.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. The Low preset averages 50 FPS, which is a 27 FPS drop from the same settings at 1080p. The Medium preset averages 40 FPS, with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 46 FPS. The High preset averages 32 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 25 FPS. None of these configurations reach the 60 FPS mark, and even the Low preset is below the commonly cited 60 FPS target. The data indicates that 1440p is only viable for players who are willing to accept frame rates in the 25-50 FPS range, which may be suitable for less action-intensive moments in Fivem but will likely cause issues during high-speed chases or crowded server events.

At 3840x2160, the performance is uniformly poor. The Low preset averages 28 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. The Medium preset averages 22 FPS, with a minimum of 19 FPS and a maximum of 25 FPS. The High preset averages 18 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 14 FPS. These frame rates are well below any playable threshold for a multiplayer game. The data shows that this system is simply not capable of running Fivem at 4K, regardless of the settings chosen. The gap between the 1080p Low result of 77 FPS and the 4K Low result of 28 FPS highlights the GPU’s inability to handle the increased pixel count, which is a direct consequence of its 4 GB memory capacity and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth.

FAQ

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a modern 14-core, 14-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 3 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, providing a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s. The CPU also features an integrated Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU, but in this system, the discrete RX 570 handles all rendering tasks.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ultra 5 245 demonstrates strong performance. It scores 32924 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 4648 in single-core. In Passmark, it achieves a multithread score of 38706 and a single-thread score of 4394. These results place the CPU in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48995. Its nearest rivals show very tight margins: the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is 0.4% higher, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 is 0.5% higher, the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H is 0.6% lower, and the Intel Core i5-14600K is 0.8% lower. This indicates that the CPU is highly competitive at its performance tier.

However, in Fivem, the CPU’s role is largely underutilized due to the GPU bottleneck. The combo ranks 2867 out of 3005, which is a bottom-tier result. The measured FPS data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would theoretically have more headroom, the system averages 77 FPS. At 1440p and 4K, the frame rates drop dramatically, which points to the GPU being the limiting factor rather than the CPU. The CPU’s 14 cores and 5.10 GHz boost clock are more than sufficient to handle Fivem’s game logic and physics, but the RX 570 cannot produce frames fast enough to take advantage of the CPU’s capabilities. For players who might upgrade the GPU in the future, the Ultra 5 245 would likely provide a significant performance boost, but with the current RX 570, the system’s potential is capped by the graphics card.
