Fivem

Fivem on this Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile pairing shows a clear pattern: the GPU is the dominant constraint at high resolution and high settings, while the CPU keeps frame rates high at lower resolutions. The data indicates a playable experience across the board, but the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and tells a straightforward story about where the bottleneck sits. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 168 FPS at 1920x1080 to 61 FPS at 3840x2160 — a 64% reduction in throughput. This is a massive hit, far larger than what a purely CPU-limited scenario would produce, confirming that the RTX 4060 Mobile's rendering throughput is the limiting factor once pixel count rises.

The scaling pattern across settings reinforces this. At High settings, the average drops from 106 FPS at 1080p to 70 FPS at 1440p, then to 39 FPS at 4K. The step from 1440p to 4K alone cuts performance by 44%. For Medium settings, the figures are 133 FPS at 1080p, 87 FPS at 1440p, and 48 FPS at 4K. The 4K Medium result of 48 FPS sits just below the 60 FPS threshold that many builders consider the baseline for smooth play, while the 4K High result of 39 FPS is firmly in slideshow territory for fast-paced multiplayer.

At 1080p, the resolution scaling is much gentler. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p costs 86 FPS (168 down to 82), but the absolute numbers remain high enough that the CPU has headroom to feed the GPU. The fact that 1080p Low hits 168 FPS while 4K Low only reaches 61 FPS suggests that at 1080p, the Core Ultra 7 155H's 16 cores and 22 threads are doing more of the heavy lifting, whereas at 4K, the GPU's 8 GB of VRAM and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth become the wall.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile is built on the AD107 chip with 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Its boost clock of 1890 MHz and base clock of 1545 MHz drive a FP32 throughput of 11.61 TFLOPS. The memory configuration is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s. These specs place the GPU in the 67th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22729.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is most evident in the 4K results. The gap between 4K Low (61 FPS) and 4K Ultra (30 FPS) is a 31 FPS difference, showing that the graphics card's pixel rate of 90.72 GPixel/s and texture rate of 181.4 GTexel/s are being saturated by the higher settings. The Ultra preset at 4K also matches the expected 30 FPS baseline for consoles, which is telling — this is a mobile part that tops out at 4K Ultra.

The GPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (deltaPct -0.7), AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (deltaPct 0.8), Intel Arc B580 (deltaPct -1.3), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile (deltaPct 1.3). The deltaPct values are all within 1.3% of each other, meaning the RTX 4060 Mobile trades blows with desktop cards from previous generations. This parity explains why 1440p High at 70 FPS is achievable — the card has enough raw compute to handle modern multiplayer titles at that resolution, but the 4K results show its limits.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is worth noting for Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod framework that can load substantial texture packs and custom assets. At 4K Ultra, the 30 FPS average suggests the memory bus width of 128 bit and bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s are being stressed. The card's passmark G3D score of 17469 and DirectX 12 score of 73 indicate solid DirectX 12 Ultimate support, which is relevant since Fivem can leverage modern APIs.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile ranks 2264 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. That places it in the bottom 39% of all pairings tested, which is a sobering statistic when you consider the individual components' percentiles — the CPU is in the 83rd percentile and the GPU is in the 67th percentile. The combo rank being lower than either component's individual percentile suggests that Fivem's specific workload does not favor this pairing as strongly as other games might.

The deltaPct values for the GPU's nearest rivals show how close the RTX 4060 Mobile is to other cards: it is 0.7% behind the RTX 2080, 0.8% ahead of the RX 7700 XT, 1.3% behind the Arc B580, and 1.3% ahead of the RTX 5060 Mobile. These are negligible differences in synthetic benchmarks, but in Fivem, the combo rank of 2264 out of 3707 suggests that the real-world performance is heavily influenced by the CPU-GPU interaction, not just raw GPU compute.

The CPU's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-14600T (deltaPct 0), AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (deltaPct -0.2), and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (deltaPct -0.4). The Core Ultra 7 155H's average benchmark score of 32697 is nearly identical to these CPUs, meaning the processor is not a differentiator in this combo — the GPU is what pulls the rank down.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a full range of playable frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 168 FPS, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most laptop displays. Medium settings drop to 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 FPS and maximum of 153 FPS, providing a smooth experience even in crowded multiplayer servers. High settings average 106 FPS, and Ultra settings average 82 FPS. All 1080p results are above 60 FPS, making this resolution the sweet spot for competitive play.

At 2560x1440, the performance is still respectable but starts to show strain. Low settings maintain 111 FPS, which is excellent. Medium settings average 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and maximum of 100 FPS. High settings drop to 70 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 54 FPS. The Ultra result at 1440p is below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this combo is not ideal for max settings at this resolution if you want a locked 60.

At 3840x2160, the results are mixed. Low settings average 61 FPS, which is just above the playable threshold. Medium settings average 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 FPS and maximum of 56 FPS. High settings average 39 FPS, and Ultra settings average 30 FPS. The 4K Medium result of 48 FPS is the only 4K setting that offers a marginally playable experience, while High and Ultra are best reserved for screenshots or non-competitive play.

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. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. This is a mobile part with a 28 W TDP, designed for thin-and-light laptops rather than high-performance gaming rigs.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028 and single-core score of 1743. The PassMark multi-thread score of 24873 and single-thread score of 3468 place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. In Fivem, which is known for being CPU-sensitive in multiplayer scenarios due to the large number of networked entities, the 16 cores and 22 threads provide ample headroom.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are all within 0.4% of its average score, meaning the Core Ultra 7 155H is not a performance outlier. The deltaPct values — 0 for the i5-14600T, 0.1 for the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, -0.2 for the Ryzen 5 7400F, and -0.4 for the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H — indicate statistical parity. This is important because it means the CPU is not the bottleneck in this combo; the GPU is.

The boost clock of 4.80 GHz is the key metric for Fivem's single-threaded workload. The game's server-side simulation and client-side rendering often rely on a few heavily loaded threads. The PassMark single-thread score of 3468 reflects this capability, and the 1080p Low result of 168 FPS demonstrates that the CPU can feed the GPU fast enough at lower resolutions.
