Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core Ultra 5 245 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 pairs with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti to deliver a Fivem experience that scales predictably with resolution, though the CPU's strong single-threaded performance becomes the limiting factor at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 259 FPS average, which drops to 127 FPS at Ultra — a 51% reduction that highlights how the GPU takes over as the bottleneck when settings climb. The data shows a system capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra pushes the RTX 3080 Ti to its limits at 46 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: Fivem becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases, but the CPU still holds sway at 1080p. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo achieves 259 FPS average, a figure that suggests the Core Ultra 5 245's single-core performance is doing heavy lifting. When resolution jumps to 2560x1440 Low, the average drops to 171 FPS — a 34% reduction that aligns with the GPU's pixel-pushing workload increasing. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 95 FPS, representing a 63% drop from 1080p Low.

The scaling pattern changes with settings. At High settings, 1080p delivers 163 FPS, 1440p delivers 108 FPS (a 34% drop), and 4K delivers 60 FPS (a 63% drop from 1080p). These percentage reductions are nearly identical across Low and High, indicating that the relative load shift between CPU and GPU remains consistent regardless of preset. The Medium preset shows the same trend: 204 FPS at 1080p, 135 FPS at 1440p (34% lower), and 75 FPS at 4K (63% lower).

The Ultra preset tells a different story. At 1080p Ultra, the combo hits 127 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it drops to 84 FPS (34% lower); at 4K Ultra, it falls to 46 FPS (64% lower than 1080p Ultra). The consistency of these percentage drops across all four presets suggests that Fivem's rendering engine scales resolution in a linear fashion, with no unusual bottlenecks emerging at any specific resolution. The 4K Ultra result of 46 FPS is the only measurement below 60 FPS, indicating that this combo is not viable for 4K Ultra gaming in Fivem.

The limiting component shifts based on resolution. At 1080p Low, the 259 FPS result is likely constrained by CPU threading, as the RTX 3080 Ti has ample headroom at such low graphical load. At 4K Ultra, the 46 FPS result points squarely at the GPU, which is rendering 8.3 million pixels per frame. The 1440p results sit in a balanced zone where both components contribute meaningfully, with 171 FPS at Low and 84 FPS at Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a 14-core, 14-thread processor from the Core Ultra Series 2, built on Arrow Lake architecture using TSMC's 3 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU has 24 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low, where the combo produces 259 FPS. This result is dramatically higher than the 4K Ultra result of 46 FPS, and the gap is primarily due to the CPU's ability to feed the GPU with draw calls at lower resolutions. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 32924 indicates strong multi-threaded capability, while the single-core score of 4648 shows excellent per-thread performance. Fivem is known for being sensitive to single-thread performance, and the Passmark single-thread score of 4394 supports this combo's strong 1080p results.

The CPU's 14 threads and boost clock of 5.10 GHz allow it to handle Fivem's multiplayer workloads, which often involve many NPCs and network-related processing. The L3 cache of 24 MB helps with game asset streaming, and the DDR5 memory support provides sufficient bandwidth for high-FPS scenarios. The CPU's benchmark percentile of 90th among all CPUs places it firmly in the high-performance tier, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600K, has a nearly identical average benchmark score (48618 vs 48995).

At 1440p, the CPU still has influence — the 171 FPS at Low suggests some headroom remains. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, as evidenced by the 95 FPS at Low versus the 259 FPS at 1080p Low. The data indicates that the Core Ultra 5 245 is not the limiting factor at 4K, as the RTX 3080 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 912.4 GB/s bandwidth are fully utilized at that resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on preset selection. At 1080p, all presets exceed 120 FPS, so the choice comes down to visual preference. Ultra delivers 127 FPS, High delivers 163 FPS, Medium delivers 204 FPS, and Low delivers 259 FPS. For competitive play, Low or Medium offers the highest frame rates, but High provides a good balance at 163 FPS.

At 1440p, Medium settings deliver 135 FPS average with a 114 FPS minimum and 155 FPS maximum — the only preset with measured min/max values at this resolution. This makes Medium the recommended choice for 1440p, as it stays above 114 FPS even in demanding scenes. High settings at 1440p produce 108 FPS, which is still smooth, and Ultra drops to 84 FPS. Low at 1440p reaches 171 FPS for those prioritizing frame rate over visuals.

At 4K, the recommendations shift dramatically. Medium is the highest viable preset, delivering 75 FPS average with a 63 FPS minimum. High at 4K produces exactly 60 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay, while Low reaches 95 FPS. Ultra at 4K drops to 46 FPS, which is below the threshold for comfortable play. For 4K, Medium is the best experience, as it stays above 60 FPS with a 63 FPS minimum, whereas High risks dipping below 60 FPS despite the 60 FPS average.

The Medium preset at 1440p offers the best overall experience across all tested configurations. The 135 FPS average and 114 FPS minimum provide a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, and the 155 FPS maximum shows the combo has headroom. The min/max data for Medium at 1080p (174/235) and 4K (63/86) further supports the stability of this preset.
