Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 lands at rank 650 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. That places this configuration in the top 22% of all tested pairings, which is a solid position for a multiplayer-focused title where frame consistency matters more than raw peak output. The combo sits comfortably ahead of the median tested system, and the ranking reflects a balanced pairing rather than one component carrying the other.

Looking at the individual components, the CPU holds a 90th percentile ranking against all tested processors, while the GPU sits at an 81st percentile against all tested graphics cards. This asymmetry is notable — the processor is the stronger half of this pairing in terms of relative standing. The CPU's average benchmark score of 48995 puts it nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (49196, -0.4%) and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49228, -0.5%), while edging out the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (48698, +0.6%) and the Intel Core i5-14600K (48618, +0.8%). The GPU's average score of 37648 places it within 1.3% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135) and just 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628).

The rank of 650 out of 3005 is particularly meaningful for Fivem because this game's performance profile is heavily influenced by server-side simulation and player count, which can create CPU bottlenecks in crowded sessions. The data suggests this combo has enough headroom on both sides to handle typical Fivem workloads without a glaring weak link.

# 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 at a 3nm process node. It runs at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The cache layout includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, providing 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth.

For Fivem, the CPU's role is critical because the game engine handles a large amount of simulation and script processing, especially in multiplayer sessions with many players and modded assets. The 14 threads without hyperthreading mean each physical core is dedicated to a single thread, which can be advantageous for latency-sensitive workloads. The boost clock of 5.10 GHz is the key figure here — Fivem's performance often scales with single-thread speed, and this processor's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648 puts it in strong standing.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also relevant. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32924 indicates solid parallel throughput, which helps when Fivem servers run background simulation tasks. The Passmark multithread score of 38706 and the Passmark physics score of 2569 provide additional context for how this chip handles game-related physics calculations. The data compression score of 400942 and encryption score of 30236 suggest strong general-purpose compute that can keep background tasks from interfering with game performance.

The CPU sits at the 90th percentile against all tested processors, which means it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in average score are all within 0.8% of its 48995 average, indicating that the Ultra 5 245 is squarely in a competitive performance tier. The fact that it trades blows with the Ryzen 9 7900 — a more heavily threaded chip — speaks to the efficiency of the Arrow Lake architecture.

At 1080p resolution, where CPU overhead is most visible, this processor's 260 FPS on Low settings suggests it is not the bottleneck in most scenarios. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p (260 to 128 FPS) is entirely attributable to GPU workload increases, while the CPU maintains its frame delivery. At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU takes on more rendering responsibility, but the high boost clock ensures that frame pacing remains consistent.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of this combo's performance envelope. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 260 FPS on Low, 205 FPS on Medium (with a min of 175 and max of 236), 164 FPS on High, and 128 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 1080p is the only row with full min/max data at this resolution, showing a 61 FPS spread between minimum and maximum.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop but remain very playable: 171 FPS on Low, 135 FPS on Medium (min 115, max 156), 108 FPS on High, and 84 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset again provides the only min/max data, with a 41 FPS spread. At 3840x2160, the combo still holds up: 95 FPS on Low, 75 FPS on Medium (min 64, max 86), 60 FPS on High, and 47 FPS on Ultra.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent: Low settings provide roughly double the frame rate of Ultra at each resolution. At 1080p, the gap is 132 FPS (260 vs 128). At 1440p, the gap is 87 FPS (171 vs 84). At 4K, the gap is 48 FPS (95 vs 47). This scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of settings-based performance changes, while the CPU maintains a stable baseline.

The 4K Medium row deserves special attention. With an average of 75 FPS and a minimum of 64 FPS, it offers the best combination of visual fidelity and frame stability at that resolution. The min FPS of 64 is above the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the floor for smooth gameplay, which is a strong result for a demanding resolution.

The 1440p High preset at 108 FPS average is another notable data point. It represents a 44% improvement over 4K High (60 FPS) while maintaining the same settings quality. For players with 1440p monitors, this is the sweet spot for balanced performance.

At 1080p, the Low preset's 260 FPS average is exceptional for competitive play, though most users would prefer the Medium preset at 205 FPS for better visuals. The Medium preset's min FPS of 175 ensures that even in busy Fivem sessions with many players, the frame rate should not dip below 175 FPS.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about where the bottleneck lies in this combo. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 (260 FPS) to 2560x1440 (171 FPS) represents a 34% reduction, and then to 3840x2160 (95 FPS) another 44% reduction. At High settings, the scaling is 164 FPS at 1080p, 108 FPS at 1440p (34% drop), and 60 FPS at 4K (44% drop from 1440p).

The consistent percentage drops across settings presets indicate that the GPU is the limiting factor as resolution increases. The RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the memory demands of Fivem at 4K, but the compute load at higher resolutions scales with pixel count. The GPU's 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are the metrics that matter here, and the data shows they are being fully utilized at 4K.

The fact that 4K Low (95 FPS) still outperforms 1440p Ultra (84 FPS) is telling. It suggests that the GPU's rasterization throughput is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, and that reducing settings has a more pronounced effect on frame rate than reducing resolution. This is typical for a GPU-bound scenario.

At 1080p, the CPU's influence becomes more apparent. The 260 FPS Low result approaches the practical ceiling for many display interfaces, and the 14-core Ultra 5 245 with its 5.10 GHz boost clock is clearly capable of feeding the GPU at this level. The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 4394 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648 both point to strong per-core performance that avoids becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions.

The scaling behavior suggests that for 4K gaming, users should expect to use Medium or High settings to maintain playable frame rates. For 1440p, the combo can handle High settings comfortably at 108 FPS. For 1080p, even Ultra settings at 128 FPS remain smooth, and Low settings approach the limits of what most displays can show.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset emerges as the strongest recommendation across all three resolutions. At 3840x2160, Medium delivers 75 FPS average with a 64 FPS minimum, which is the only 4K configuration that guarantees frame rates above 60 FPS even in demanding moments. The High preset at 4K drops to 60 FPS average with no min FPS data, which carries more risk of sub-60 dips in busy Fivem sessions.

At 2560x1440, Medium provides 135 FPS average with a 115 FPS minimum, making it ideal for high-refresh 1440p monitors. The High preset at 108 FPS is also viable for 144Hz displays, but the Medium preset's higher minimum frame rate offers more consistency for multiplayer scenarios where Fivem's server-side simulation can cause frame time spikes.

For 1920x1080, the Medium preset at 205 FPS average and 175 FPS minimum is the clear winner. It offers nearly double the frame rate of Ultra (128 FPS) while still providing good visual quality. The Low preset at 260 FPS is only recommended for competitive play where maximum frame rate outweighs visual fidelity, as the visual difference between Low and Medium is substantial in Fivem's open world.

The Ultra preset is difficult to recommend at any resolution. At 1080p it still achieves 128 FPS, which is playable, but the 132 FPS difference compared to Low suggests that the visual gains from Ultra come at a steep performance cost. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 84 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 47 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay.

For most users, the optimal approach is to start with the Medium preset and adjust individual settings upward only if frame rates allow. The data shows that Medium provides the best balance of visual quality and performance headroom, particularly with the min FPS data available for that preset at all three resolutions. The 64 FPS minimum at 4K Medium is the single most important data point for players considering 4K, as it demonstrates that this combo can maintain playable frame rates at that resolution without compromising too heavily on visuals.
