Q: What is the GPU's percentile ranking among all tested graphics cards?

A: The RX 7900 XT sits in the 55th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 13745. This puts it in the middle of the pack, which is surprising given its strong Fivem performance.

Q: Are there any settings where the combo delivers notably low minimum FPS?

A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the minimum FPS is 124 with a maximum of 168. At 1920x1080 Medium, the range is 188 to 255. These minimums remain well above playable thresholds.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 525 out of 3005 places this pairing in the upper echelon of tested systems for Fivem. This ranking reflects a configuration that handles the game's demanding multiplayer environments with authority. The percentile positioning—roughly top 17.5%—indicates that most competing builds deliver lower frame rates, while only a minority of high-end systems surpass this combo's output.

Interpreting this rank requires context. Fivem is a multiplayer modification that can be sensitive to both CPU and GPU load depending on server activity and graphical density. A rank of 525 suggests the Core Ultra 5 245 and RX 7900 XT strike a solid balance, avoiding the bottlenecks that plague lower-ranked configurations. The gap between this combo and top-ranked systems likely stems from more powerful CPUs or GPUs, but for mainstream high-end hardware, this position is respectable.

The rank becomes more meaningful when compared to the CPU's overall percentile of 90 and the GPU's percentile of 55. The CPU is clearly a high performer, while the GPU sits closer to median. This suggests the combo's strong Fivem ranking is partially carried by the processor's capabilities, though the GPU provides sufficient headroom for the measured frame rates. The data indicates that upgrading the GPU alone might yield diminishing returns in this specific title, as CPU performance appears to be the stronger pillar of this pairing.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT features 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 800.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Memory clocks run at 2500 MHz, with a base GPU clock of 1387 MHz, a game clock of 2025 MHz, and a boost clock of 2394 MHz. These specifications provide ample memory capacity and bandwidth for Fivem's open-world environments, which can load large textures and assets in multiplayer scenarios.

The GPU's architecture, RDNA 3.0 on the Navi 31 chip, includes 5376 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 192 render output units. The 84 ray tracing cores add hardware acceleration for advanced lighting effects where supported. The FP32 performance of 51.48 TFLOPS indicates substantial raw compute capability, which translates to strong rasterization performance in Fivem.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU's role becomes apparent when examining the scaling between 1080p and 4K. At 1920x1080 Low settings, the average FPS reaches 281, suggesting the CPU is the limiting factor at this resolution since the GPU has significant headroom. As resolution increases to 3840x2160, the average drops to 103 at Low settings, showing the GPU taking on more work with each pixel rendered. The 20 GB VRAM capacity is unlikely to be a constraint in Fivem, as the game's texture demands are typically modest even in populated servers.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 281 FPS on Low, 221 FPS on Medium, 177 FPS on High, and 137 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 188 and maximum of 255 FPS, indicating some frame time variance but consistently high output.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease to 185 FPS on Low, 146 FPS on Medium, 117 FPS on High, and 90 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at this resolution shows a minimum of 124 and maximum of 168 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p cuts performance by roughly 34-37% across all settings, reflecting the increased pixel count that the GPU must process.

At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 103 FPS on Low, 81 FPS on Medium, 65 FPS on High, and 50 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 69 and maximum of 93 FPS. This resolution presents the greatest challenge, with Ultra settings barely maintaining playable frame rates. The data shows a clear progression where each settings tier at a given resolution reduces average FPS by approximately 20-25%, with the largest absolute drop occurring between Low and Medium at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the bottleneck in this configuration. At Low settings, performance drops from 281 FPS at 1920x1080 to 185 FPS at 2560x1440 (a 34% decrease), then to 103 FPS at 3840x2160 (a 44% further decrease). This non-linear scaling indicates the GPU is increasingly stressed as pixel count rises.

At Ultra settings, the progression is 137 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 50 FPS at 4K (44% further drop). The consistent percentage decreases across settings tiers suggest the limiting component remains the same throughout the resolution spectrum. At 1080p, the CPU may constrain performance, particularly at Low settings where the 281 FPS result approaches the CPU's capability to feed frames. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the dominant factor, with the 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS indicating the GPU is running near its maximum capacity.

The scaling pattern shows that the RX 7900 XT provides enough bandwidth and compute to maintain playable frame rates at 1440p across all settings, with even Ultra achieving 90 FPS. At 4K, only Low settings break the 100 FPS barrier, while Medium and High remain above 60 FPS. This suggests that for competitive play, 1080p or 1440p are the preferred resolutions, while 4K is best reserved for less demanding settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 features 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 3 MB L2 cache per core provide substantial on-chip storage for frequently accessed data. The CPU's TDP of 65 W indicates efficient power consumption, while the 3 nm process node from TSMC contributes to its strong performance per watt.

In benchmark tests, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32924 and a single-core score of 4648. Passmark results show a multi-thread score of 38706 and a single-thread score of 4394. These scores place the CPU in the 90th percentile of all processors, indicating top-tier performance. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, scores 49228 on average, just 0.5% ahead, while the Intel Core i5-14600K scores 48618, which is 0.8% behind.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical for handling game logic, physics, and the multiplayer networking layer. The high single-thread performance of 4648 in Cinebench R23 suggests the CPU can efficiently process the primary game thread, which is often the bottleneck in multiplayer titles. The 14 cores provide ample multi-threading capacity for background tasks, though Fivem may not fully utilize all cores depending on server configuration. The 5.10 GHz boost clock ensures that single-threaded workloads receive maximum clock speeds when needed.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, all settings presets deliver frame rates above 130 FPS, making even Ultra settings viable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 221 FPS offers a strong balance between visual quality and performance, with a minimum of 188 FPS ensuring consistent frame delivery.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 117 FPS provides a good balance for most players, while Medium at 146 FPS is preferable for those prioritizing higher frame rates. The Ultra preset at 90 FPS remains playable and may be acceptable for visually focused players, but the 34% performance drop from High to Ultra suggests diminishing returns in visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 81 FPS is the recommended choice, offering the best balance between visual fidelity and smooth gameplay. The High preset at 65 FPS is still playable, while Ultra at 50 FPS should be reserved for scenarios where frame rate is less critical. The Low preset at 103 FPS provides the smoothest 4K experience, though with reduced visual quality.

For competitive play, the data supports using 1080p Low or Medium settings to maximize frame rates, with 281 FPS on Low providing the highest possible output. For casual play, 1440p High settings strike an effective balance between visuals and performance. The measured minimums on Medium presets—188 FPS at 1080p and 124 FPS at 1440p—indicate that this preset avoids severe frame drops, making it a reliable choice for consistent gameplay.
