Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the AMD Radeon 890M is a mobile configuration aimed at balanced mainstream performance. In Fivem, the benchmark data reveals a clear story about its capabilities across different graphical demands. This analysis examines the measured frames per second (FPS) results to determine the optimal settings, the role of each component, and how this specific combination stacks up against other tested systems.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for this configuration in Fivem points to a single standout choice for the best experience: the Low preset at 1920x1080. At this resolution and setting, the combo achieves an average FPS of 79, which is the highest average frame rate recorded across all tested settings and resolutions. This provides the smoothest gameplay experience, which is particularly valuable in a multiplayer environment where responsiveness is key.

At 1080p, the progression from Low to Ultra shows a predictable decline: Low hits 79 FPS, Medium drops to 62 FPS, High falls to 50 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 38 FPS. While the Medium preset at 1080p offers a playable average of 62 FPS with presumably better visual fidelity, the data suggests that the Low setting is the most reliable for maintaining a high frame rate. The jump from Low to Medium costs 17 FPS on average, which is a significant 21.5% reduction, whereas the jump from Medium to High costs 12 FPS, and High to Ultra costs another 12 FPS.

For users prioritizing a consistent and high refresh rate, the Low preset at 1080p is the only option that pushes the average near the 80 FPS mark. The Medium preset at 1440p yields 41 FPS, which is playable but less fluid than the 1080p Low result. The Ultra preset at any resolution falls below 40 FPS, making it generally unsuitable for a smooth experience in a fast-paced multiplayer game. Therefore, the data strongly supports 1080p Low as the primary recommendation for this hardware combination.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon 890M is the integrated graphics processor in this configuration. Its performance characteristics are central to the FPS results seen in Fivem. The GPU's benchmark scores place it in a specific performance tier. It has a Passmark G3D score of 8076, which puts it in the 45th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, according to the data, are the AMD Radeon Vega 8, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 465, with the 890M performing nearly identically to these parts, showing a delta of around -1% to -0.1% against them.

The GPU's architecture is RDNA 3.5 on a 4 nm process, with a boost clock of 2900 MHz. It has 1024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its memory is "System Shared," meaning it uses the system's main memory, with bandwidth described as "System Dependent." This is a critical factor, as the lack of dedicated VRAM means the GPU's performance is heavily influenced by the system's memory speed and configuration.

In terms of raw compute, the 890M has a FP32 performance of 5.939 TFLOPS. This level of compute power, combined with its shared memory architecture, explains its performance ceiling. In Fivem, the GPU is the primary limiter, as evidenced by the significant FPS drops as resolution and settings increase. The data shows that the integrated GPU, while capable for its class, cannot maintain high frame rates at higher graphical loads. Its performance is comparable to older discrete GPUs like the GTX 960, which shows its integrated nature but also clearly defines its limits in a game like Fivem.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and stark impact as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. This scaling behavior is a key indicator of where the performance bottleneck lies. When running the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 79 at 1080p to 52 at 1440p and then to 29 at 4K. This represents a 34.2% drop moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44.2% drop moving from 1440p to 4K.

This trend is consistent across all settings presets. For the Medium preset, the average FPS goes from 62 at 1080p to 41 at 1440p and then to 23 at 4K. The High preset sees a decline from 50 to 33 to 18 FPS across the same resolutions. The Ultra preset, already low at 1080p with 38 FPS, falls to 25 FPS at 1440p and a mere 14 FPS at 4K.

The steep and consistent decline in FPS with increasing resolution strongly indicates that the AMD Radeon 890M is the limiting component in this configuration. The number of pixels being rendered is directly overwhelming the GPU's processing power. At 1080p, the GPU is able to keep up with the demand, but as the pixel count increases, its performance scales down almost linearly with the increase in workload. The data shows a clear resolution bottleneck, with the CPU not being able to compensate for the GPU's inability to handle the higher resolutions. This is a typical characteristic of an integrated graphics solution, where the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are insufficient for high-resolution gaming.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a powerful mobile processor with 16 cores and 22 threads, based on the Meteor Lake architecture. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its multi-threaded performance is substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028 and a Passmark multi-thread score of 24873. This places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is a high-performance part relative to the broader market.

Its nearest CPU rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are the Intel Core i5-14600T, AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H. The Ultra 7 155H's average benchmark score of 32697 is nearly identical to these parts, with deltas of 0% to -0.4%. This shows that in general compute tasks, it is on par with these other mid-range to high-end processors.

However, in the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU. The benchmark data shows that the FPS is heavily dependent on resolution and settings, which are primarily GPU-bound factors. For instance, at 1080p Low, the system achieves 79 FPS, but at 4K Low, it falls to 29 FPS. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the FPS would remain relatively constant regardless of resolution, as the CPU's workload would be similar. The fact that FPS drops so dramatically with resolution indicates that the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU, but the GPU itself is unable to handle the increased rendering load. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a Passmark single-thread score of 3468, is sufficient to handle the game's logic and physics, but it cannot compensate for the GPU's limitations. The data clearly shows a GPU-bound scenario in Fivem for this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

In the combined benchmark database for Fivem, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and AMD Radeon 890M configuration holds a specific position. It is ranked 2823 out of a total of 3005 tested combos. This places it in the lower portion of the ranking, specifically in the 6th percentile of all tested systems.

This ranking is a direct consequence of the GPU's performance. While the CPU is a strong performer, ranking in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, the GPU's 45th percentile ranking drags the overall combo down. The combination of a high-end CPU with a mid-to-low-end integrated GPU results in a system that is not well-suited for the demands of Fivem at higher settings. The rank of 2823 reflects the reality that most other tested combinations, which likely include discrete graphics cards, are able to achieve higher frame rates in this game.

The data from the `nearestRivals` for the GPU supports this. The Radeon 890M's performance is nearly identical to that of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, a discrete GPU from several generations ago. This puts the integrated solution on par with older entry-level discrete graphics, which explains its low ranking among modern combos. The combo's rank is not a reflection of a faulty pairing, but rather a simple consequence of the integrated GPU's inherent performance ceiling. For users of this combo, the data is clear: it is best suited for 1080p gaming at lower settings, and its overall standing in the benchmark database reflects that limitation.
