The CPU’s benchmark scores indicate strong single-thread and multi-thread performance. In Cinebench R23, the Core Ultra 5 245 scores 32924 in multi-core and 4648 in single-core. The Passmark single-thread score is 4394, and the multithread score is 38706. These scores place the CPU in the 90th percentile among all CPUs, showing that it is a high-performance part. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600K, has a nearly identical average score, meaning the Ultra 5 245 is comparable to last generation’s popular mid-range gaming CPU.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the frame rate of 278 FPS suggests that the CPU is keeping up with the GPU’s output. At 4K Ultra, the CPU is less stressed because the GPU is the limiting factor. The 14 cores and 14 threads ensure that background processes and game logic do not cause frame drops, as evidenced by the consistent minimum FPS values at Medium settings across resolutions. The CPU’s 5.10 GHz boost clock is particularly beneficial for Fivem’s single-threaded aspects, which rely on high clock speeds for responsiveness.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 175 at 1920x1080 to 116 at 2560x1440, and then to 64 at 3840x2160. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. The total reduction from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 111 FPS, or 63%. This scaling indicates that the GPU is being increasingly taxed as pixel count rises, and the RTX 5070’s 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient to handle the increased data load without a sudden collapse in performance.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar but with higher absolute numbers. The average FPS goes from 219 at 1080p to 144 at 1440p, then to 80 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 75 FPS (34%), and from 1440p to 4K is 64 FPS (44%). The minimum FPS at Medium follows this trend, going from 186 at 1080p to 123 at 1440p, and then to 68 at 4K. The fact that the minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 68, which is above 60, suggests that the GPU has enough headroom to avoid major stutters at this settings level.

At Low settings, the scaling is the most pronounced because the GPU is less constrained. The average FPS drops from 278 at 1080p to 183 at 1440p, and then to 102 at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The consistency of the percentage drops across all settings presets indicates that the limiting component is the GPU’s raw rendering throughput, rather than a sudden bottleneck from the CPU or memory. The data suggests that the RTX 5070 scales predictably with resolution, and the Core Ultra 5 245 provides enough CPU headroom to prevent it from becoming the limiting factor at any tested resolution or settings combination.
