Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title, and the combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER produces a wide range of performance depending on your resolution and settings. The data shows a system that is capable of high refresh rate gaming at 1080p but requires significant compromises to maintain playable frame rates at 4K. This analysis breaks down the measured performance to help you understand what this pairing can deliver and where its limitations lie.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, clearly indicating that the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p High settings, the system averages 111 FPS, which is a very playable figure. Moving to 1440p High, that average falls to 73 FPS, a 34% reduction. Pushing further to 4K High, the average plummets to just 40 FPS, which is a 64% reduction from the 1080p result. This scaling pattern is classic for a GPU-limited scenario; the CPU has less impact on frame rate as the pixel count rises.

The trend is consistent across all settings presets. With Low settings, the system achieves 175 FPS at 1080p, 116 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is still a significant drop, but it shows that lowering settings can claw back some performance. The Medium preset shows a similar curve, with 138 FPS at 1080p, 91 FPS at 1440p, and 51 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset is the most punishing, starting at 86 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 57 FPS at 1440p, and becoming nearly unplayable at 31 FPS at 4K.

What this tells us is that 1080p is the sweet spot for this combo if you are chasing high frame rates. The jump from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30-40% of your frame rate, depending on the preset. The jump to 4K is even more brutal, costing another 40-50% on top of that. If you are using a 1440p monitor, you will need to be selective with settings to stay above 60 FPS, and at 4K, you will be firmly in 30-60 FPS territory with significant visual compromises. The scaling data suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of VRAM and 256-bit memory bus are simply not enough to feed a 4K display with demanding settings in Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the defining component in this system's gaming performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Its benchmark percentile of 65 places it above the median, but its nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and Intel Arc B570, are within 1.5% of its average benchmark score, indicating it sits in a competitive mid-range tier. The GPU's specs, including 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, are the key constraints in Fivem.

At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to provide excellent frame rates. The 175 FPS Low and 111 FPS High results show that the card can easily handle the workload. However, the situation changes drastically at 4K. The 40 FPS High result and 31 FPS Ultra result are symptomatic of the GPU running out of both raw compute power and memory bandwidth. The 8 GB VRAM is also a potential concern at 4K with higher detail textures, which could lead to stuttering or texture pop-in, though the average FPS data does not directly show this.

The clock speeds, with a base of 1605 MHz and a boost of 1770 MHz, are typical for this generation of card. The data shows that its FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming in this title, but it is simply outmatched by the demands of 4K. The GPU's role as the primary performance limiter is clear: at 1080p, the CPU can feed it enough data to keep it busy, but at 4K, the GPU is working at its maximum capacity and still cannot maintain high frame rates. This is a classic case where the GPU's performance ceiling is reached far before the CPU's.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Fivem at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: At 4K, the system averages 40 FPS on High and 31 FPS on Ultra settings. These are below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth. Lowering to Medium settings raises the average to 51 FPS, and Low settings achieve 64 FPS. While 4K is technically possible, you will need to use Low or Medium settings to get close to a stable 60 FPS experience.

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU and GPU combination in Fivem?

A: The data indicates that 1080p is the strongest resolution for this pairing. At 1080p, the system achieves 175 FPS on Low, 138 FPS on Medium, 111 FPS on High, and 86 FPS on Ultra. All of these are well above 60 FPS, making for a smooth experience. The 1440p results are also good, but require more careful settings selection to maintain high frame rates.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its direct competitors in this game?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score is 20282. Its nearest rivals, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, and Intel Arc B570, have average scores that are 1%, 1.2%, and 1.3% higher, respectively. This means the RTX 2070 SUPER is essentially performance-equivalent to these cards, and you should expect very similar frame rates in Fivem.

Q: Is the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The benchmark results suggest that at 1080p, the system is not heavily CPU-limited. The CPU's multi-core score of 32924 in Cinebench R23 and its 90th percentile ranking indicate it is a powerful processor. The fact that frame rates scale significantly with GPU settings (e.g., 175 FPS on Low vs. 86 FPS on Ultra at 1080p) shows that the GPU is the primary variable, meaning the CPU is keeping up with the GPU's output.

Q: What settings preset provides the best balance of visual quality and performance at 1440p?

A: At 1440p, the Medium preset provides an average of 91 FPS with a minimum of 77 FPS, which is excellent for a smooth experience. The High preset averages 73 FPS, which is still good but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. The Ultra preset at 57 FPS is below the 60 FPS target. Therefore, for a 1440p monitor, Medium or High settings are the best options.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K at High settings?

A: At High settings, the system delivers 111 FPS at 1080p. At 4K, this drops to 40 FPS. This represents a 64% reduction in average frame rate. This massive drop underscores how resolution-dependent the RTX 2070 SUPER is in this game, with 4K demanding more than the GPU can efficiently provide.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear guide for optimizing your experience. For players with a 1080p monitor, the Ultra preset is the best choice. The 86 FPS average is well within the range of high refresh rate monitors and provides the best visual fidelity. If you have a 1440p monitor, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point. It delivers a 91 FPS average and a 77 FPS minimum, ensuring that the game remains fluid even in busy multiplayer scenarios. The High preset at 1440p also works at 73 FPS, but the Medium preset offers more headroom for frame time consistency.

For 4K displays, the situation requires compromise. The Low preset yields a 64 FPS average, which is just above the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset offers a better visual experience at 51 FPS, but you will notice the lower frame rate. The High and Ultra presets are not recommended for serious play, as their 40 FPS and 31 FPS averages, respectively, will feel sluggish. Given the data, the best experience at 4K is to use the Low preset to maximize frame rate. If you prefer visual quality over raw speed, the Medium preset is the ceiling for an acceptable experience. The data strongly suggests that this system is built for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K being a secondary consideration.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system shows its best performance. The Low preset leads with an average of 175 FPS. The Medium preset averages 138 FPS, with a minimum of 118 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS. The High preset averages 111 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 86 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance drops noticeably. The Low preset averages 116 FPS. The Medium preset averages 91 FPS, with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. The High preset averages 73 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 57 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is heavily taxed. The Low preset averages 64 FPS. The Medium preset averages 51 FPS, with a minimum of 43 FPS and a maximum of 58 FPS. The High preset averages 40 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 31 FPS.

These numbers paint a consistent picture: the system is a solid 1080p performer, a good 1440p performer with some settings adjustments, and a marginal 4K performer only at lower settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 provides a strong foundation for this gaming system. With 14 cores and 14 threads, it is a capable multi-threaded processor, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32924. Its single-core performance, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648, is also robust, which is crucial for gaming. The CPU's 90th percentile ranking against all CPUs confirms its high standing.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle the game's simulation and networking logic, which can be demanding in a multiplayer environment. The data shows that this CPU is more than capable of keeping up with the RTX 2070 SUPER. The fact that frame rates scale so dramatically with resolution and settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, not the CPU. At 1080p Low, the 175 FPS result shows that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to achieve very high frame rates. Even at 1080p Ultra, the 86 FPS average suggests that the CPU is not holding the system back.

The CPU's performance is comparable to its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G and AMD Ryzen 9 7900, which have average benchmark scores that are 0.4% and 0.5% lower, respectively. This places the Core Ultra 5 245 in a strong position. For this specific game, the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p or 1440p. It only becomes a factor if you are trying to achieve extremely high frame rates (above 175 FPS) with a more powerful GPU. In this pairing, the CPU is a reliable partner that provides the necessary performance to let the GPU do its job.
