GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with a Navi 33 chip. Its base clock is 1980 MHz, the boost clock reaches 2755 MHz, and the game clock is 2470 MHz. The memory operates at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth across a 128-bit bus. With 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores, the GPU offers 22.57 TFLOPS of FP32 compute performance. The pixel rate is 176.3 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 352.6 GTexel/s.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes more significant as resolution climbs. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 167 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 61 FPS. This 106 FPS reduction indicates that the GPU is being pushed harder at higher pixel counts. The GPU’s 16 GB frame buffer is ample for Fivem, as the game’s asset streaming and draw distances do not appear to exceed this capacity at any tested settings. The RX 7600 XT’s 60th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it as a mid-range performer, which aligns with the measured results in this title.

The GPU’s memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s is a notable factor. While Fivem is not a bandwidth-intensive game, the 128-bit bus limits how much data can be transferred per clock. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 30 FPS, which suggests the GPU is struggling with the combination of high resolution and high-quality settings. The RT cores are present but Fivem does not rely heavily on ray tracing, so their impact is minimal in these results. The GPU’s 190 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this class, and the 1x 8-pin power connector indicates modest power requirements.

The measured FPS at 1440p High (69 FPS) and 1440p Medium (87 FPS) shows that the GPU can handle mainstream resolutions well. However, the drop from 1080p High (106 FPS) to 1440p High (69 FPS) is a 37 FPS reduction, which is a substantial penalty. This is expected because the GPU must process 78% more pixels at 1440p compared to 1080p. The RX 7600 XT’s 60th percentile score of 17132 in Passmark G3D, compared to rivals like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 with a delta of -0.7%, shows it is competitive with higher-tier cards from the previous generation.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a 14-core, 14-thread processor from the Arrow Lake-S family, manufactured 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 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 3 MB of L2 cache per core. The CPU supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth, and it is not multiplier unlocked. Its integrated graphics are Arc Xe-LPG with 64 execution units, but Fivem uses the discrete RX 7600 XT.

In Fivem, the CPU’s single-core performance is critical. The chip scores 4648 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 4394 in Passmark single-thread. These scores place it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48995. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Core Ultra 5 245 is within 0.8% of the Intel Core i5-14600K and within -0.5% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900. This means the CPU is not a weak link in this pairing.

The 14 threads are sufficient for Fivem’s multiplayer workload, which often involves physics calculations and network processing. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 167 FPS, and at 1080p High it achieves 106 FPS. The difference between Low and High at 1080p is 61 FPS, which indicates that the CPU is keeping up with the GPU’s demands at lower quality settings. The boost clock of 5.10 GHz helps maintain high frame rates in crowded areas where CPU load spikes.

The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support provide adequate data throughput for Fivem. The 24 MB L3 cache helps with asset caching and reduces latency. The CPU’s 65 W TDP is modest, and the 17,800 million transistors on a 243 mm² die indicate a dense design. The Core Ultra 5 245’s 0.4% delta from the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G and 0.6% delta from the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H show that its multi-threaded performance is consistent with other mid-range to high-end processors. In Fivem, the CPU is rarely the bottleneck at resolutions above 1080p, as the GPU takes over the limiting role.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT ranks 1876 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This rank places it in the 62nd percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 38% of combos are slower. The rank reflects the mid-range nature of both components. The CPU’s 90th percentile among all CPUs and the GPU’s 60th percentile among all GPUs suggest that the pairing is balanced, with the GPU being the more limiting factor in most scenarios.

The combo’s rank is influenced by the fact that Fivem is a multiplayer game that depends on server performance and CPU overhead. The Core Ultra 5 245’s high single-core score of 4648 in Cinebench R23 helps maintain frame rates in busy lobbies, but the RX 7600 XT’s mid-range GPU performance caps the overall results at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the combo outperforms many combinations with weaker CPUs, but at 4K it falls behind combos with more powerful GPUs.

Compared to other combos in the database, this pairing is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The rank of 1876 indicates that there are 1129 faster combos, many of which likely use higher-tier GPUs like the RTX 3070 (which is a near rival of the RX 7600 XT with a delta of -0.7% in GPU benchmarks). However, the combo still delivers smooth frame rates at mainstream settings, making it a viable option for Fivem players who prioritize frame rate over maximum visual quality. The data shows that the combo’s rank is not due to a weak CPU, but rather the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the combo delivers 167 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 61 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 63% drop from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s performance remains constant regardless of resolution.

At High settings, the FPS drops from 106 at 1080p to 69 at 1440p and 39 at 4K. This is a 35% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 63% drop from 1080p to 4K. The similar percentage reductions across settings indicate that the GPU is the primary limiter at resolutions above 1080p. The CPU’s boost clock of 5.10 GHz is sufficient to feed the GPU at all resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that the FPS drop is proportional to the pixel count increase.

At Medium settings, the combo achieves 132 FPS at 1080p, 87 FPS at 1440p, and 48 FPS at 4K. The min FPS figures are 112, 74, and 41 respectively, showing that the frame time consistency also degrades with resolution. At Ultra settings, the FPS falls to 82 at 1080p, 54 at 1440p, and 30 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS is below the playable threshold for most users, indicating that the GPU is overwhelmed by the combination of high resolution and high-quality settings.

The limiting component shifts from CPU at 1080p Low to GPU at 4K Ultra. At 1080p Low, the 167 FPS suggests the CPU is the primary driver, as the GPU has less work to do. At 4K Ultra, the 30 FPS clearly shows the GPU is the bottleneck, as the 2048 shading units and 128-bit memory bus cannot keep up with the pixel throughput required. The RX 7600 XT’s 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is a limiting factor at 4K, where the higher resolution demands more memory traffic.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. With Low settings, the average FPS is 167, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. Medium settings produce 132 FPS with a min FPS of 112 and max FPS of 152. High settings average 106 FPS, and Ultra settings average 82 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 85 FPS, showing that the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution. The min FPS of 112 at Medium settings indicates that frame drops are present but not severe, keeping the experience smooth.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 110 FPS, Medium settings average 87 FPS with a min of 74 and max of 100, High settings average 69 FPS, and Ultra settings average 54 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all settings, with an average reduction of about 35%. The min FPS of 74 at Medium settings is still playable, but the Ultra setting at 54 FPS may feel less responsive in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. Low settings average 61 FPS, Medium settings average 48 FPS with a min of 41 and max of 55, High settings average 39 FPS, and Ultra settings average 30 FPS. The 4K Low result of 61 FPS is the only 4K setting that reaches the 60 FPS threshold, and even that is marginal. The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS is below the minimum for comfortable play, and the 4K Medium min FPS of 41 shows that frame pacing becomes inconsistent at higher resolutions.

The data shows that the combo is best used at 1080p or 1440p. At 1080p, all settings are playable, with even Ultra averaging 82 FPS. At 1440p, Low and Medium settings provide smooth experiences, while High and Ultra are acceptable for less demanding players. At 4K, only Low settings are viable, and even then, the 61 FPS average is close to the edge of playability. The RX 7600 XT’s 16 GB VRAM is never stressed in Fivem, but its compute throughput of 22.57 TFLOPS is insufficient for 4K Ultra in this title. The Core Ultra 5 245’s 14 cores and 5.10 GHz boost clock ensure that the CPU is not the limiting factor at any resolution, making the GPU the clear upgrade path for 4K gaming.
