Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that builds on the Grand Theft Auto V engine, and the measured results for the Intel Core Ultra 5 245 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 show a combination that is heavily influenced by the CPU's architecture and the GPU's raw throughput. The data indicates a system that can push very high frame rates at lower resolutions, but which becomes more balanced as the resolution increases and the workload shifts toward the graphics card.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

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. It has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP, making it a power-efficient desktop part. The chip also includes 24 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/sjednotek. In synthetic benchmarks, the processor achieves a Passmark single-thread score of 4394 and a multithread score of 38706, which places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs tested. Its Cinebench R23 scores are 4648 for single-core and 32924 for multi-core, indicating strong per-thread performance and solid multi-threaded capability.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is critical because the game's simulation and scripting logic often run on a limited number of threads. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo reaches 333 FPS, which is a very high number that suggests the CPU is able to feed the GPU effectively at lower graphical loads. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS drops to 163, which is still high, but the gap between Low and Ultra at the same resolution indicates that the GPU becomes more involved as settings increase. The CPU's boost clock of 5.10 GHz is likely a key factor in maintaining high frame rates, as Fivem can be sensitive to single-thread performance. The processor's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and the Intel Core i5-14600K, with the Core Ultra 5 245 scoring 0.5% lower than the Ryzen 9 7900 and 0.8% higher than the i5-14600K in average benchmark score, showing it is competitively positioned among modern desktop CPUs.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Looking at the measured FPS data, the choice of settings depends heavily on the target refresh rate and resolution. At 1080p, the Low preset yields 333 FPS, which is far beyond the capacity of most displays, while High produces 210 FPS and Ultra produces 163 FPS. All of these are playable, but the data suggests that High or Ultra settings are preferable at 1080p to improve visual quality without sacrificing smoothness, as even Ultra remains above 160 FPS. At 1440p, the Low preset delivers 219 FPS, High delivers 138 FPS, and Ultra drops to 107 FPS. The Ultra setting at 1440p is still above 100 FPS, which is generally considered smooth for competitive play, but High offers a 31 FPS advantage over Ultra, which might be a better trade-off for higher refresh rate monitors. At 4K, the picture changes significantly: Low delivers 122 FPS, Medium delivers 96 FPS, High delivers 77 FPS, and Ultra drops to 60 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium at 4K costs 26 FPS, while the jump from Medium to High costs 19 FPS, and from High to Ultra costs 17 FPS. Given the diminishing returns at higher settings, the Medium preset at 4K appears to be the sweet spot, providing a playable 96 FPS average with a minimum of 82 FPS, which avoids the sub-60 FPS dips that could occur at Ultra.

Overall, the data suggests that for a balance of visual fidelity and performance, the High preset is the best choice at 1080p and 1440p, while Medium is recommended for 4K. The Low preset is only necessary if a user is targeting refresh rates above 200 FPS at 1080p or above 120 FPS at 4K, which are less common scenarios. The measured minimum FPS values, which are only available for the Medium preset, show a 223 FPS minimum at 1080p, a 147 FPS minimum at 1440p, and an 82 FPS minimum at 4K, indicating that Medium provides a stable frame time experience across all resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is significant and reveals a shift in the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 333 at 1080p to 219 at 1440p and then to 122 at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The fact that even at Low settings the 4K frame rate is only 122 FPS, compared to 333 at 1080p, suggests that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU workload remains relatively constant. At High settings, the FPS drops from 210 at 1080p to 138 at 1440p and then to 77 at 4K, which is a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K, showing a similar scaling pattern. At Ultra settings, the FPS drops from 163 at 1080p to 107 at 1440p and then to 60 at 4K, which is a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K.

The consistent percentage drops across all settings indicate that the scaling is resolution-bound rather than settings-bound. This means that as the pixel count increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the primary constraints, while the CPU's performance headroom at lower resolutions is sufficient to maintain high FPS. The RTX 4080 has a boost clock of 2505 MHz and a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s, which are substantial, but the 4K Ultra result of 60 FPS shows that even this GPU is fully utilized at the highest settings. The data suggests that for 4K gaming, the combo is well-balanced at Medium settings, but at Ultra settings, the GPU is the clear limiting component, as the CPU is unlikely to be the bottleneck at 60 FPS. At 1080p and 1440p, the CPU's strong single-thread performance allows the GPU to be pushed to its limits, as evidenced by the very high frame rates at Low settings.
