# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core Ultra 7 155H + AMD Radeon RX 7800M

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7800M delivers a playable but resolution-sensitive experience in Fivem, with the combo ranking in the 34th percentile of all tested configurations (rank 1988 out of 3005). The data reveals a system that excels at 1080p and 1440p gaming but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K, particularly at higher quality presets. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across all resolution and settings combinations, interprets what the numbers mean relative to comparable hardware, and provides clear guidance on how to configure the game for the best experience.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 162 FPS at 1920x1080 to 107 FPS at 2560x1440, then plummets to 59 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 35% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a further 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. The pattern is consistent across all settings presets, indicating that the AMD Radeon RX 7800M becomes the limiting component as pixel count rises.

At Medium settings, the scaling shows 128 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K. The High preset delivers 102 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p, and 37 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 79 FPS at 1080p, 52 FPS at 1440p, and just 29 FPS at 4K. The consistent 50-60% performance penalty when moving from 1440p to 4K across all presets confirms that the RX 7800M's 12 GB GDDR6 memory and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed heavily by the higher pixel throughput.

The scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with its 16 cores and 22 threads can keep the GPU adequately fed, as evidenced by the 162 FPS ceiling at Low settings. However, the diminishing returns as resolution increases indicate that the GPU's raw compute performance—35.87 TFLOPS FP32 and 560.4 GTexel/s texture rate—is the primary constraint at 4K. The gap between Low (59 FPS) and Ultra (29 FPS) at 4K represents a 51% performance spread, which is narrower than the 51% spread at 1080p (162 to 79 FPS), suggesting that resolution scaling flattens the settings differentiation as the GPU saturates.

For players targeting 60 FPS or higher, 4K is only viable at Low settings, where the 59 FPS average barely crosses the threshold. At 1440p, all presets except Ultra maintain above 60 FPS, making it the sweet spot for visual fidelity and performance balance. The data strongly indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for less demanding scenarios or those willing to accept sub-60 FPS averages.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1988 out of 3005 tested configurations places it in the bottom third of all systems tested in Fivem. This ranking reflects the measured FPS data across all resolution and settings combinations, and it positions this pairing as a mid-to-low tier performer in the context of the full benchmark database. The percentile standing is notable given the individual component specifications: the CPU ranks in the 83rd percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 73rd percentile against all GPUs. The combo's lower overall rank compared to its component percentiles suggests that Fivem's specific workload characteristics may not fully leverage the strengths of either component.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores an average benchmark of 32697, which is nearly identical to the Intel Core i5-14600T (32707, 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (32662, 0.1% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (32750, -0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32812, -0.4% delta). These negligible differences mean that swapping to any of these CPUs would likely produce near-identical frame rates in Fivem, assuming the GPU remains constant. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028 and single-core score of 1743 provide context for its compute capabilities, but the game's performance is more heavily influenced by GPU throughput.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7800M's average benchmark score of 27883 places it alongside the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839, 0.2% delta), AMD Radeon Pro W5500X (27973, -0.3% delta), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (28020, -0.5% delta), and AMD FirePro S7150 (28117, -0.8% delta). These rival comparisons show that the RX 7800M sits in a performance tier where small percentage differences translate to minimal real-world FPS changes. However, the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2994 and Passmark G3D score of 17613 indicate competent DirectX 12 performance, which is relevant for Fivem's modern rendering requirements.

The ranking data suggests that while this combo is not competitive with top-tier systems, it delivers acceptable performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Players with this hardware should not expect to chase maximum frame rates at high resolutions, but they can achieve smooth gameplay with appropriate settings adjustments. The rank also implies that there are many combinations that outperform this pairing, but equally, there are over 1000 configurations that perform worse, placing it in the middle of the pack overall.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 102 FPS average, which is smooth for most gaming scenarios, while Medium offers 128 FPS and Low reaches 162 FPS. The Ultra preset at 79 FPS is still playable but represents a significant 38% drop from High. For competitive play where maximum frame rates matter, Low at 1080p provides the highest headroom. For visually demanding single-player experiences, High strikes the best balance between fidelity and performance at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the recommended preset is High, which achieves 67 FPS average. Medium provides 84 FPS for those prioritizing smoother motion, while Low reaches 107 FPS for maximum responsiveness.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H features 16 cores and 22 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. This Meteor Lake architecture CPU, built on Intel's 7 nm process, includes a 24 MB shared L3 cache and 112 KB L1 cache per core, along with 2 MB L2 cache per core. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 support provides adequate data throughput for gaming workloads. In Fivem, the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are reflected in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028, while its single-core performance of 1743 indicates solid per-thread execution.

The CPU's role in Fivem's performance is secondary to the GPU, as evidenced by the resolution scaling data. At 1080p where the GPU has less work per frame, the CPU's 162 FPS ceiling at Low settings demonstrates its ability to feed the GPU efficiently. However, as resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the CPU's performance headroom becomes less relevant. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32697, shows it is a capable processor, but Fivem's frame rates are more constrained by the RX 7800M's capabilities at higher resolutions.

The CPU's 16 cores and 22 threads may benefit Fivem's multiplayer scenarios, where multiple player entities and physics calculations can create CPU-bound situations. The Passmark multi-thread score of 24873 and integer math score of 86870 indicate robust parallel processing capabilities. However, the single-thread performance (Passmark single-thread score of 3468) is more critical for game logic and frame pacing. The CPU's boost clock of 4.80 GHz provides adequate single-thread speed, though the data does not show significant CPU limitation at any tested resolution, reinforcing that the GPU is the primary performance determinant in this configuration.
