Fivem

Intel Core Ultra 5 245 combined with AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT delivers a mid-table experience in Fivem, ranking 2224th out of 3005 tested combinations. The pair is heavily constrained by the GPU at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded throughput keeps 1080p performance competitive. Benchmark results show a playable setup for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but 4K demands significant settings compromises to maintain acceptable frame rates.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a 14-core, 14-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake-S architecture, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC. Its base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz provide a solid foundation for Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often stresses single-thread performance due to its engine limitations and the overhead of many connected players. The CPU’s L3 cache is 24 MB shared, and its memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s over dual-channel DDR5 helps feed the GPU with world data.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ultra 5 245 scores 32924 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4648 in single-core. These numbers place it at the 90th percentile of all CPUs, indicating strong overall capability. The Passmark single-thread score of 4394 reinforces that this chip handles lightly-threaded workloads with ease. However, the CPU’s 14 threads are all physical cores with no hyper-threading, which is a notable design choice; Fivem’s reliance on a few heavily-loaded threads means the 5.10 GHz boost clock is often more critical than raw thread count.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ultra 5 245 sits within a tight band. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G scores 49196 on average, which is 0.4% higher than the Ultra 5 245’s 48995 average. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 is 0.5% ahead, while the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H trails by 0.6%, and the Intel Core i5-14600K is 0.8% slower. This grouping suggests that the Ultra 5 245’s performance is well-balanced but not class-leading; in Fivem, where frame pacing can vary with server load, the CPU’s ability to maintain high boost clocks likely prevents it from becoming the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions.

The 65 W TDP and unlocked-free multiplier (locked) mean this CPU is efficient but not overclockable. For Fivem, the data indicates the CPU is more than adequate at 1080p, where the 156 FPS Low setting result is likely CPU-bound or engine-limited. The measured FPS drop from 156 FPS at 1080p Low to 103 FPS at 1440p Low suggests that the GPU begins to take over the workload as pixel count increases, but the CPU still has headroom. At 4K Low, the 57 FPS average shows the CPU is not the limiting factor; the GPU is clearly struggling at that resolution.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT is built on the RDNA 1.0 architecture with a Navi 10 chip, fabricated on a 7 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1605 MHz, with a game clock of 1755 MHz and a boost clock of 1905 MHz. This configuration provides 9.754 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, which is modest by modern standards but was competitive at its 2019 release.

In Fivem, the 8 GB VRAM is a critical constraint, especially at higher resolutions. The game’s open-world assets, combined with multiplayer mods, can push memory usage; at 4K Ultra, the system drops to 28 FPS, which is likely a combination of VRAM capacity limits and raw compute pressure. The GPU’s 64 ROPs and 160 TMUs handle texture and pixel work, but the 2560 shading units are insufficient for high-detail 4K rendering in this game.

The RX 5700 XT’s benchmark scores place it at the 59th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 16361. Its Passmark G3D score is 16277, which is close to its average. Nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M, which is 0.1% slower, and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, which is 0.3% faster. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is 0.9% faster, and the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is 0.3% faster. This grouping shows the RX 5700 XT is a mid-tier card, and Fivem’s performance reflects that positioning.

At 1080p, the GPU delivers 156 FPS at Low, 123 FPS at Medium, and 98 FPS at High. These results indicate that the GPU is well-suited for 1080p gaming, with the Ultra setting dropping to 76 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 80 FPS, showing a substantial scaling cost for high detail. At 1440p, the GPU manages 103 FPS on Low, 81 FPS on Medium, and 65 FPS on High, but Ultra drops to 50 FPS. The 1440p Medium result includes a min FPS of 69 and max of 93, suggesting some frame time variance, but the average is still playable.

The GPU’s 8 GB memory and 448 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the card’s limitations become apparent. The 4K Low result of 57 FPS is surprising, as it is higher than the 4K Medium score of 45 FPS, indicating that the Medium preset may enable more memory-intensive features that hurt performance. The 4K High and Ultra results of 36 FPS and 28 FPS respectively confirm that this GPU is not designed for 4K gaming in Fivem.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and acceptable frame rates. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 98 FPS, which is a good balance of visual quality and smoothness. The Ultra preset drops to 76 FPS, which is still playable but may introduce dips in busy multiplayer areas. The Medium preset at 123 FPS is the best choice for competitive play, as it provides a high frame rate with moderate visual fidelity. The Low preset at 156 FPS is excessive for most users, but it is available for those seeking maximum responsiveness.

At 1440p, the High preset yields 65 FPS, which is adequate for casual play but may feel sluggish in fast-paced scenarios. The Medium preset at 81 FPS is the sweet spot, offering a solid frame rate with better visuals than Low. The Low preset at 103 FPS is recommended for players who prioritize frame rate over detail. The Ultra preset at 50 FPS is not recommended, as it fails to maintain a stable 60 FPS target.

At 4K, the situation is more challenging. The Low preset at 57 FPS is the only setting that approaches playability, but it still falls short of 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 45 FPS is marginally playable, but the High (36 FPS) and Ultra (28 FPS) presets are too slow for a smooth experience. For 4K, users should stick to Low settings and accept the visual compromise, or consider reducing the resolution to 1440p.

The data suggests that the Medium preset is the most balanced option across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 123 with a min of 104 and max of 141, indicating stable performance. At 1440p Medium, the average is 81 FPS with a min of 69 and max of 93, which is acceptable. The Medium preset avoids the heavy costs of Ultra while providing better visuals than Low.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT ranks 2224th out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle tier of the database, meaning that a significant portion of other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average frame rates. The rank reflects the GPU’s age and the CPU’s mid-range positioning; while the CPU is strong, the GPU holds the combo back, particularly at higher resolutions.

In the context of Fivem, which is a CPU-intensive multiplayer game, the CPU’s 90th percentile ranking is not enough to overcome the GPU’s 59th percentile standing. The combo’s overall rank suggests that users with newer or higher-end GPUs will see substantially better performance. However, the data shows that this pairing is still viable for 1080p and 1440p gaming, as the measured FPS at those resolutions are within acceptable ranges.

The rank also indicates that the combo is neither a top performer nor a budget disaster. It sits in the 74th percentile of tested combos (2224/3005), meaning roughly 26% of combos are slower. For Fivem, this means the setup is adequate for mainstream gaming but will struggle with high-refresh-rate monitors or 4K displays. Users seeking higher rankings should focus on GPU upgrades, as the CPU has more headroom.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 156 at 1080p to 103 at 1440p and 57 at 4K. This represents a 34% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a 45% decrease from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the drop is from 98 FPS at 1080p to 65 FPS at 1440p and 36 FPS at 4K, showing a 34% and 45% reduction respectively. The consistent percentage drops across settings indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the CPU’s performance is less affected by resolution changes.

The scaling behavior is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. As resolution increases, the pixel count grows exponentially, placing more demand on the GPU’s shading units and memory bandwidth. The RX 5700 XT’s 8 GB VRAM and 448 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K, causing the average FPS to fall below 60 at all settings except Low. The CPU’s 14 cores and high boost clock are not the bottleneck, as Fivem’s single-threaded nature means the CPU can keep up with the GPU’s output at lower resolutions.

At 1080p, the FPS difference between Low and Ultra is 80 FPS (156 to 76), while at 4K, the difference is 29 FPS (57 to 28). This narrowing gap at 4K confirms that the GPU is saturated at higher resolutions, and settings changes have less impact because the GPU is already at its limit. The data suggests that the combo is well-balanced for 1080p, where the CPU can feed the GPU sufficient frames, but becomes GPU-limited at 1440p and severely GPU-limited at 4K.
