FAQ

Q: How well does this CPU and GPU combination perform in Fivem compared to other tested setups?

A: This combo ranks 411th out of 3,707 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the top 11% of all recorded configurations. That is a strong result for a multiplayer-focused game where consistency matters more than raw peak frames.

Q: What is the best resolution for this pairing if I want a high refresh rate experience?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers an average of 308 FPS, and even at 2560x1440 on Low it reaches 203 FPS. For 144Hz or 165Hz monitors, either of these settings will comfortably saturate the display.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Fivem?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 3840x2160 on Medium settings, the average FPS is 89 with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 102. High settings drops to 71 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 55 FPS. For a smooth 4K experience, Medium is the practical ceiling.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in general benchmark performance?

A: The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 scores 48,995 in the average benchmark, sitting within 0.8% of the Intel Core i5-14600K (48,618) and just 0.5% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49,228). It also edges out the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G by 0.4% and the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H by 0.6%.

Q: What is the GPU's standing relative to its closest competitors in overall compute performance?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER averages 31,087 in benchmarks, trailing the NVIDIA TITAN RTX by 1.9% and the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell by 1.4%. It is effectively tied with the Quadro M5000 and GRID M60-1Q, both showing just a 0.4% difference.

Q: Does Fivem scale better with CPU or GPU resources for this configuration?

A: The data suggests strong scaling with both, but the CPU's 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 76th percentile among all GPUs indicate the processor is relatively stronger. In Fivem, the CPU's 14 cores and 5.10 GHz boost clock likely prevent bottlenecks in busy multiplayer servers.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. For Fivem, a game that frequently loads large city textures and player-created assets, that memory capacity is a practical advantage — it reduces the likelihood of texture pop-in or stutter when multiple modded vehicles and buildings are in view.

Clock speeds are equally relevant here. The GPU runs at a 2340 MHz base and boosts to 2610 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These figures translate directly to the measured FPS deltas between settings. At 1080p, the gap between Low (308 FPS) and Ultra (151 FPS) is 157 FPS, showing how much headroom the GPU has when shader complexity increases. The 8448 shading units and 264 texture mapping units process the draw calls efficiently, but the real story is the consistency: at 1440p Medium, the minimum FPS of 136 stays close to the 160 average, indicating stable frame pacing.

The GPU's 76th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 31,087, places it in the upper tier without being elite. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA TITAN RTX, scores 31,676 — just 1.9% higher — which suggests the 4070 Ti SUPER is punching near the top of its class. In Fivem, the practical effect is that 1440p High at 128 FPS is entirely achievable, and 4K Medium at 89 FPS remains playable. The 55 FPS result at 4K Ultra is the only point where the GPU's limits become obvious, as the 96 ROPs struggle with the full effect stack.

For multiplayer sessions, the 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming. The game does not typically exhaust frame buffers, but the bandwidth headroom ensures that even in crowded areas with dozens of player models, the memory subsystem does not become a limiting factor. The 45,900 million transistors on a 5 nm process from TSMC also contribute to efficiency, though the 285 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU are worth noting for system planning.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 is a 14-core, 14-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC with 17,800 million transistors. Its base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz provide the single-thread grunt that Fivem's netcode and server synchronization often demand. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache acts as a buffer for frequently accessed game data, reducing memory latency in fast-moving scenarios.

Benchmark data shows this CPU performs strongly in both single and multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32,924 and single-core score of 4,648 indicate a balanced design. PassMark results reinforce this: multi-thread score of 38,706 and single-thread score of 4,394. For Fivem, which typically relies more on a few strong cores for physics and script processing, the single-core performance is arguably more important than the raw core count.

The CPU's 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48,995, places it just behind the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49,228, a 0.5% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (49,196, a 0.4% delta). It also slightly trails the Intel Core i5-14600K by 0.8% but beats the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H by 0.6%. In practical terms, this means the CPU is not the bottleneck in most Fivem scenarios; the measured FPS differences across resolutions show GPU dominance.

At 1080p Low, the 308 FPS average suggests the CPU can feed frames far beyond what most displays can show. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly stressed at 55 FPS, the CPU's 5.10 GHz boost clock keeps the frame time consistent. The 14 cores and 14 threads (no hyperthreading) are a notable design choice; Fivem's server-side processing rarely uses more than 8 threads, so the remaining cores handle background tasks without contention. The 102.4 GB/s memory bandwidth on dual-channel DDR5 also supports the rapid data movement required for large multiplayer lobbies.

The CPU's integrated Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU is a fallback option, but with the dedicated RTX 4070 Ti SUPER present, it plays no role in the measured results. The 65 W TDP is modest for a 14-core chip, contributing to thermal headroom in compact builds.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimizing Fivem with this hardware. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 308 FPS average, which is overkill for any current monitor. The Medium preset at 243 FPS (minimum 206, maximum 279) offers a better balance of visual quality and performance, still far beyond refresh rate needs. High at 194 FPS and Ultra at 151 FPS remain exceptionally playable, so the choice at 1080p is purely aesthetic.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts slightly. Low hits 203 FPS, Medium 160 FPS (minimum 136, maximum 184), High 128 FPS, and Ultra 99 FPS. For 144Hz displays, Medium is the sweet spot — it maintains a minimum above 136 FPS while providing noticeably better shadows and texture filtering than Low. High at 128 FPS is also viable if visual fidelity takes priority, but the 99 FPS average on Ultra may dip below 90 FPS in dense urban areas.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations become more conservative. Low achieves 112 FPS, which is smooth but visually sparse. Medium at 89 FPS (minimum 75, maximum 102) is the optimal choice for 4K, as it keeps frame times in the 10-13 ms range while preserving enough detail to justify the resolution. High at 71 FPS is borderline for fast-paced multiplayer, and Ultra at 55 FPS is only suitable for slow exploration or screenshots.

For the best overall experience, the data suggests 1440p Medium as the default recommendation. The 160 FPS average with a 136 FPS minimum provides headroom for frame drops during intense firefights, and the visual uplift over Low is substantial. If the user prefers maximum visual fidelity and has a 120Hz 4K display, 4K Medium at 89 FPS is the practical ceiling — the 75 FPS minimum keeps it above most VRR thresholds.

How This Combo Ranks

This configuration ranks 411th out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 89th percentile of all recorded systems. That is a strong showing for a mid-to-high-end pairing, especially considering the game's multiplayer nature where server-side code can introduce variability unrelated to hardware.

The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's 90th percentile performance and the GPU's 76th percentile performance. The CPU is relatively stronger, which helps in Fivem's CPU-bound scenarios like large player counts and complex scripted events. The GPU, while not top-tier, is sufficient to push high frame rates at mainstream resolutions.

Compared to the nearest rivals in the database, the CPU's 0.8% deficit to the Intel Core i5-14600K is negligible in gaming contexts. The GPU's 1.9% deficit to the NVIDIA TITAN RTX similarly translates to a few FPS at most. The combo's rank suggests that users with this hardware are unlikely to feel underpowered; the bottleneck in Fivem is more likely the game's server tick rate or network latency than the local hardware.

The gap between this combo and the top 10% of systems is likely filled by higher-end GPUs like the RTX 4090 or newer architectures, but for Fivem specifically, the returns diminish rapidly above 144 FPS. The 411th rank out of 3,707 is a strong recommendation for this pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 308 FPS average
• Medium: 243 FPS average, 206 minimum, 279 maximum
• High: 194 FPS average
• Ultra: 151 FPS average

At 1080p, the GPU is rarely the limiting factor. The jump from Low to Medium costs 65 FPS, while Medium to High costs 49 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 43 FPS. The scaling is nearly linear, indicating the GPU has ample headroom even at Ultra.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 203 FPS average
• Medium: 160 FPS average, 136 minimum, 184 maximum
• High: 128 FPS average
• Ultra: 99 FPS average

The 1440p results show a 43 FPS drop from Low to Medium, 32 FPS from Medium to High, and 29 FPS from High to Ultra. The minimum FPS at Medium (136) is notably close to the average (160), demonstrating stable performance under load. At Ultra, the 99 FPS average is still playable but leaves less margin for demanding scenes.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 112 FPS average
• Medium: 89 FPS average, 75 minimum, 102 maximum
• High: 71 FPS average
• Ultra: 55 FPS average

At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The delta between Low and Medium is 23 FPS, Medium to High is 18 FPS, and High to Ultra is 16 FPS. The Medium preset's 75 FPS minimum is the lowest recorded across all resolutions and settings, but it remains above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Ultra preset at 55 FPS is the only result that dips below 60, confirming that 4K Ultra is not recommended for this combo.

Across all resolutions, the data shows consistent behavior: the CPU maintains high minimums at lower settings, while the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading throughput determine the upper limits at higher settings. The 16 GB VRAM prevents any resolution-specific memory constraints, as even the 4K Ultra preset does not show signs of texture streaming issues.
