Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core Ultra 5 245 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Fivem, with the data showing a clear pattern: this combo is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but capable of extreme frame rates at 1080p. The combination ranks 324th out of 3005 tested combos in this game, placing it in the top 11% of all configurations. At 4K Ultra, the system manages 55 FPS, while dropping settings to Low at 1080p produces a staggering 305 FPS average, demonstrating a wide operational envelope that spans from high-refresh competitive play to visually demanding single-player scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a textbook GPU-limited scenario. At High settings, performance falls from 193 FPS at 1920x1080 to 127 FPS at 2560x1440, then further to 70 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 63.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is consistent with a system where the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The scaling is nearly linear with pixel count — 1080p to 1440p (1.78x pixels) yields a 34.2% FPS drop, while 1440p to 4K (2.25x pixels) yields a 44.9% drop.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. At Low settings, the frame rate collapses from 305 FPS at 1080p to 201 FPS at 1440p (34.1% drop), then to 112 FPS at 4K (44.3% drop from 1440p). This consistent ~34% then ~44% two-stage decline indicates that the GPU's rasterization throughput is the limiting factor. The RTX 4070 Ti's 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are being fully utilized at higher resolutions, while the CPU has ample headroom at lower pixel counts.

Interestingly, the scaling between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution shows diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1080p, the gap between Low (305 FPS) and Ultra (150 FPS) is 155 FPS — a 50.8% reduction. At 4K, the same comparison shows 112 FPS versus 55 FPS — a 50.9% reduction, nearly identical. This suggests that Fivem's settings scale uniformly in GPU workload regardless of resolution, with no unexpected CPU-side bottlenecks emerging at any point.

The Medium preset provides the most telling data on frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 241 FPS average with a minimum of 205 and maximum of 277. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 159 FPS with minimum 135 and maximum 182. At 4K Medium, the average reaches 88 FPS with minimum 75 and maximum 101. The tight min-to-max spreads (approximately 30% of average) across all three resolutions indicate consistent frame delivery without stuttering, a sign that neither the CPU nor GPU is experiencing intermittent bottlenecks.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti's specification sheet explains much of this behavior. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, the card delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Fivem at all tested settings and resolutions. The 7680 shading units and 240 texture mapping units provide 626.4 GTexel/s of texture fill rate, while the 80 ROPs deliver 208.8 GPixel/s. These figures place the card at the 84th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44795.

The card's boost clock of 2610 MHz (base 2310 MHz) is well within Ada Lovelace architecture norms, and the 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores are present but largely irrelevant for Fivem, which does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS in the tested configurations. The 21 Gbps effective memory clock is standard for the 40-series, and the 192-bit bus width means the card relies on high clock speeds rather than raw bandwidth to maintain throughput.

In the context of Fivem's performance, the GPU's role is dominant at 4K. The fact that 4K Ultra produces 55 FPS while 4K Low produces 112 FPS — a 57 FPS swing — demonstrates that the card's compute units are the limiting factor at high settings. The data suggests that at 4K, even the Medium preset (88 FPS) is pushing the card near its limits, while at 1080p, the card has massive headroom, with the 305 FPS Low result indicating that Fivem's draw calls and physics simulation are not taxing the CPU enough to cap performance.

The GPU benchmark results provide additional context: a Passmark G3D score of 31624 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5024 place the card in strong standing, but the 84th percentile ranking means there are faster cards available. The nearest rivals — RTX 5090 Mobile (45152, -0.8% delta), Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45384, -1.3%), RTX A6000 (44075, +1.6%), and Arc A730M (45592, -1.7%) — show that the RTX 4070 Ti sits in a competitive middle ground, trading blows with mobile and workstation parts rather than dominating desktop flagships.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core Ultra 5 245 and RTX 4070 Ti ranks 324th out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 89.2nd percentile of all configurations. This ranking reflects the synergy between the two components — the CPU's 14 cores and 14 threads (with 24 MB of L3 cache) provide sufficient single-threaded performance for Fivem's engine, while the GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS handles the graphics workload.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 48995 places it at the 90th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (49196, -0.4% delta), AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49228, -0.5%), Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (48698, +0.6%), and Intel Core i5-14600K (48618, +0.8%). These deltas are all within 1%, meaning the Ultra 5 245 is essentially performance-equivalent to a range of mainstream and workstation processors. The Ryzen 9 7900 being only 0.5% faster on average suggests that there is no significant CPU bottleneck in Fivem for this combo.

The combo rank of 324 out of 3005 is notable because it exceeds what either component's individual percentile might suggest. The CPU is at the 90th percentile and the GPU at the 84th, but the combination achieves the 89.2nd percentile in Fivem specifically. This indicates that Fivem's workload — which is known for being sensitive to both CPU single-thread performance and GPU rasterization — is well-served by this pairing. The rank suggests that many combos with higher-rated individual components perform worse in Fivem due to suboptimal pairing, while this combination hits a sweet spot.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates across all settings. Low produces 305 FPS average, Medium 241 FPS (min 205, max 277), High 193 FPS, and Ultra 150 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 4070 Ti is not the limiting factor — even at Ultra, the 150 FPS result leaves headroom for higher refresh rate displays. The gap from Low to Ultra (155 FPS) shows that settings have a massive impact at this resolution, but all presets are playable on high-refresh monitors.

The 2560x1440 results show a step down but remain strong. Low delivers 201 FPS, Medium 159 FPS (min 135, max 182), High 127 FPS, and Ultra 98 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 34.1% (Low) to 34.7% (Ultra), showing consistent scaling. The Ultra preset at 98 FPS is still above 60 FPS, making 1440p Ultra a viable option for smooth gameplay, while the Medium preset at 159 FPS targets high-refresh monitors.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to show its limits. Low produces 112 FPS, Medium 88 FPS (min 75, max 101), High 70 FPS, and Ultra 55 FPS. The 55 FPS at Ultra is below the 60 FPS threshold many players consider minimum for smooth play, but the Low preset at 112 FPS demonstrates that the card can handle 4K if settings are adjusted. The Medium preset at 88 FPS with a 75 FPS minimum suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for 4K, offering a good balance of visual quality and frame rate.

The variance data from Medium settings is particularly informative. At 1080p, the spread from minimum to maximum is 72 FPS (205 to 277), at 1440p it's 47 FPS (135 to 182), and at 4K it's 26 FPS (75 to 101). The decreasing absolute variance with resolution indicates that the GPU is becoming more consistently saturated at higher pixel counts, reducing frame time spikes. The relative variance (max-min divided by average) is 29.9% at 1080p, 29.6% at 1440p, and 29.5% at 4K — remarkably consistent, suggesting stable frame pacing throughout.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 plays a supporting but critical role in this combo's Fivem performance. With 14 cores and 14 threads, the CPU provides strong multi-threaded throughput, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32924 and a Passmark multithread score of 38706. The single-threaded performance is equally important for Fivem's game logic — a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4648 and Passmark single-thread score of 4394 indicate solid per-core capability.

The CPU's Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm TSMC process, operates at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts to 5.10 GHz. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache (with 192 KB L1 and 3 MB L2 per core) provides fast access to frequently used data, which is crucial for Fivem's dynamic multiplayer environments where player positions and interactions change constantly. The 65 W TDP is modest, and the dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 102.4 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for gaming workloads.

The benchmark data reveals that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this combo. At 1080p Low, where the GPU has the least work, the system hits 305 FPS — suggesting the CPU can handle Fivem's simulation at very high frame rates. The Passmark data compression score of 400942 and floating point math score of 120548 indicate strong general-purpose compute, while the physics score of 2569 shows adequate performance for game physics.

The CPU's 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48995, places it in the upper tier of desktop processors. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49228, -0.5% delta), which is a 12-core part, and the Intel Core i5-14600K (48618, +0.8%). The fact that the Ultra 5 245 trades blows with these established parts — despite having fewer threads than the Ryzen 9 — suggests that Fivem benefits more from the Ultra 5's high boost clock and efficient architecture than from raw core counts.

In Fivem specifically, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. The difference between 1080p Low (305 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (150 FPS) is 155 FPS, but the fact that the system can exceed 300 FPS at Low indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU at very high rates. At 4K, the CPU has ample headroom, as the GPU's workload dominates. The data suggests that if a more powerful GPU were paired with this CPU, the Ultra 5 245 would still be able to push frame rates higher at 1080p, but at 4K, the CPU would not be the limiting factor.
