Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 produces a clear performance pattern in Fivem, where frame rates are heavily dictated by graphical settings and resolution. The measured data shows a system capable of high refresh rates at standard resolutions but one that requires careful settings management to maintain smoothness at 4K. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS figures, contextualizes them against other tested combinations, and explores the specific roles of the CPU and GPU in delivering these results.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, indicating that the GPU becomes an increasingly significant limiting factor as pixel count rises. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 168 FPS at 1920x1080 to 111 FPS at 2560x1440, a 34% reduction, and then to 61 FPS at 3840x2160, a further 45% reduction from 1440p. This scaling pattern suggests that even at the lowest graphical preset, the RTX 4060's rendering workload grows quickly with resolution, though the 1080p result of 168 FPS shows there is ample headroom for high-refresh-rate displays at that resolution.

Moving to Medium settings, the resolution scaling becomes slightly steeper. The average FPS drops from 133 at 1080p to 87 at 1440p (a 35% decrease) and then to 48 at 4K (a 45% decrease from 1440p). The High preset shows a comparable trend: 106 FPS at 1080p falls to 70 FPS at 1440p (34% lower) and then to 39 FPS at 4K (44% lower). The consistency of these percentage drops across Low, Medium, and High presets indicates that the game's rendering demands scale almost linearly with the number of pixels, a hallmark of GPU-bound workloads at higher resolutions.

Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic scaling, with the average frame rate dropping from 82 FPS at 1080p to 54 FPS at 1440p (34% lower) and then to 30 FPS at 4K (44% lower from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS is below the threshold for comfortable playability, confirming that this combination is not suited for maximum quality at that resolution. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU still plays a meaningful role in keeping frame rates high, as evidenced by the 168 FPS Low result, but as resolution increases, the GPU's fill-rate and shading capabilities become the primary constraint, pulling averages down to 61 FPS at 4K Low.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to achieve consistently high frame rates?

A: The data shows that at 1920x1080, all settings except Ultra produce averages above 100 FPS. Low settings yield 168 FPS, Medium yields 133 FPS, and High yields 106 FPS, making 1080p the only resolution where the combo can comfortably exceed 100 FPS across multiple presets.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 perform at 4K in Fivem?

A: At 3840x2160, the measured averages are 61 FPS for Low, 48 FPS for Medium, 39 FPS for High, and 30 FPS for Ultra. Only the Low preset achieves an average above 60 FPS, and Ultra drops to exactly 30 FPS, which is typically considered the minimum for playability.

Q: Is the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H a bottleneck for this game?

A: The CPU has 16 cores and 22 threads with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The 1080p Low result of 168 FPS indicates the processor can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions, but the steep FPS drops at higher resolutions suggest the GPU becomes the limiting component as resolution increases.

Q: What is the difference between Medium and High settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Medium settings produce an average of 87 FPS (with a minimum of 74 FPS), while High settings produce an average of 70 FPS. This 17 FPS difference shows that High settings impose a notable additional load on the GPU compared to Medium.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations in Fivem?

A: The combo ranks 1802 out of 3005 tested combinations, placing it in the 60th percentile. This indicates that while it is not a top-tier performer, it outperforms a majority of other tested hardware pairings in this specific game.

Q: Does the RTX 4060 have enough VRAM for Fivem at Ultra settings?

A: The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. The measured Ultra preset at 4K yields only 30 FPS, and the consistent FPS drops across resolutions suggest that the memory capacity is not the primary limiting factor; rather, the GPU's compute throughput (15.11 TFLOPS FP32) is insufficient for smooth 4K Ultra performance.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to Medium settings as the optimal balance for this hardware combination across all three resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 FPS, providing a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate monitors while still offering better visual quality than Low. At 2560x1440, Medium achieves 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold for most displays. Even at 3840x2160, Medium produces 48 FPS, which is playable on consoles but may feel less smooth on PC; however, it is a significant improvement over High's 39 FPS and Ultra's 30 FPS.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, Low settings at 1080p yield 168 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play or 165 Hz displays. At 1440p, Low still delivers 111 FPS, making it a viable choice for esports-style play. High settings are acceptable at 1080p (106 FPS) and 1440p (70 FPS), but the 4K High result of 39 FPS is not recommended. Ultra settings should be avoided at all resolutions if frame rate consistency is a priority, as even at 1080p the average drops to 82 FPS, and the 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS is barely playable. The Medium preset's minimum FPS values (113 at 1080p, 74 at 1440p, 41 at 4K) also show the least variance, suggesting more stable frame pacing compared to other presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 168 FPS, Medium produces 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS, High produces 106 FPS, and Ultra produces 82 FPS. The spread from 82 to 168 FPS across settings demonstrates that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution, with the CPU able to keep up even at the highest frame rates.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down predictably. Low settings average 111 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and a maximum of 100 FPS, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 74 FPS suggests that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate stays above 60 FPS, making 1440p Medium a solid choice for a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the GPU workload becomes severe. Low settings average 61 FPS, Medium averages 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 FPS and a maximum of 56 FPS, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 41 FPS indicates noticeable dips below the 60 FPS target, while the Ultra preset's 30 FPS average is exactly at the edge of playability. The data shows that 4K is only viable at Low settings, and even then, the 61 FPS average offers little margin for frame drops.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1802 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 60th percentile of all tested hardware pairings, meaning it outperforms roughly 60% of other combinations while being outperformed by the remaining 40%. The rank reflects a mid-to-upper tier standing, consistent with the measured FPS numbers that show strong 1080p performance but clear limitations at 4K.

The GPU's own benchmark standing helps contextualize this rank. The RTX 4060 scores 19,545 in Passmark G3D, which places it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (with an average score of 17,666, a -0.2% delta) and the AMD Radeon 780M (17,588, 0.3% delta). The RTX 4060's score is effectively tied with these older or integrated parts, indicating that its raw compute performance is not exceptional, but its modern architecture and features like 8 GB of VRAM and Ada Lovelace design provide benefits in specific workloads.

The CPU's benchmark results are more impressive. The Core Ultra 7 155H achieves an average benchmark score of 32,697, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the Intel Core i5-14600T with a score of 32,707 (0% delta), followed by the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at 32,662 (0.1% delta). The CPU's strong multi-core performance (15,028 in Cinebench R23 multicore) and single-core results (1,743 in Cinebench R23 singlecore) suggest that it is not the limiting factor in Fivem, as the game's performance drops with resolution indicate GPU-bound behavior.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a 16-core, 22-thread processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with 24 MB of shared L3 cache. These specifications position it as a capable mobile processor, and its benchmark scores confirm strong performance: a Passmark multithread score of 24,873 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,468. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is well above average for general processing tasks.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. The 1080p Low result of 168 FPS demonstrates that the processor can handle the game's simulation and draw call overhead at high frame rates. However, the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K shows that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions; the GPU's rendering workload dominates. The CPU's high single-thread performance (1,743 in Cinebench R23 singlecore) is beneficial for a game like Fivem, which is based on a modified version of the Grand Theft Auto V engine that often relies on a few heavily loaded threads.

The processor's 16 cores and 22 threads provide ample parallelism for background tasks, but Fivem's multiplayer nature can introduce CPU overhead from network processing and player synchronization. The measured 1080p results suggest that the Core Ultra 7 155H has sufficient headroom to handle these demands, as frame rates remain high even at Medium and High settings. The CPU's 28 W TDP indicates it is designed for mobile use, but its boost clock of 4.80 GHz ensures it can deliver the necessary performance when required.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, with 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die. It has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivering 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's compute capabilities include 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, resulting in 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. These specifications place the GPU in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, with a Passmark G3D score of 19,545.

In Fivem, the GPU's performance is the primary determinant of frame rates at resolutions above 1080p. The measured data shows that at 4K, even Low settings only achieve 61 FPS, while Ultra drops to 30 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU's shading and fill-rate capabilities are insufficient for high-resolution rendering at high quality. The 8 GB VRAM is adequate for the game's textures, as the FPS drops are consistent with compute-bound behavior rather than memory capacity limits.

The GPU's boost clock of 2460 MHz is relatively high, but the 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth may limit performance in texture-heavy scenes. At 1440p, the GPU still manages 111 FPS on Low settings, showing that it has enough power for mid-range resolutions. However, the jump to 4K reduces performance by nearly half across all settings, confirming that the RTX 4060 is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Fivem. The GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 780M, has a similar average benchmark score (17,588 vs. 17,639), but the RTX 4060's dedicated VRAM and higher bandwidth give it an edge in this game's rendering workload.
