FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU and GPU combo to achieve a smooth 60+ FPS experience in Fivem?

A: Based on the measured FPS data, the 2560x1440 resolution with High settings delivers a 91 FPS average, and Medium settings at the same resolution provide 114 FPS. The 1920x1080 resolution with High settings achieves 138 FPS, while Ultra settings at 1080p maintain a solid 107 FPS average, all of which comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the Ultra preset at 4K compare to the Low preset at 4K in terms of performance?

A: The performance difference is substantial. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset yields an average of 39 FPS, while the Low preset more than doubles that figure, achieving an average of 80 FPS. The High preset at this resolution falls in between, with a 50 FPS average.

Q: What is the highest average frame rate recorded for this combination?

A: The highest average frame rate recorded is 219 FPS, which is achieved at the 1920x1080 resolution with the Low graphics preset. This shows a significant headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors when settings are lowered.

Q: Is the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB VRAM a limiting factor in Fivem?

A: The measured data does not indicate VRAM capacity as a bottleneck. The GPU is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the tested preset levels and resolutions, as frame rates scale predictably with settings rather than showing signs of memory-related stalls.

Q: How does the combo's rank in Fivem compare to its overall hardware percentiles?

A: The combo ranks 1097th out of 3005 in Fivem, placing it in the 63rd percentile of tested combos. This is notably lower than the individual component percentiles, as the CPU sits in the 84th percentile of all CPUs and the GPU in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, suggesting Fivem's specific demands prevent the hardware from reaching its full relative potential.

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

A: At a resolution of 2560x1440, the Medium preset averages 114 FPS with a minimum of 97 FPS and a maximum of 131 FPS. Moving up to the High preset, the average FPS drops to 91, and no minimum or maximum figures were recorded for that setting.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear picture of which settings preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance for this specific hardware combination. For users targeting a standard 60 FPS experience, the 2560x1440 resolution with High settings is the sweet spot, delivering a 91 FPS average. This provides a significant visual upgrade over the Medium preset while maintaining ample performance headroom above the 60 FPS target. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset can be enabled, as the data shows a 107 FPS average, allowing for the highest visual quality while still keeping the frame rate well within a smooth range for most monitors.

For competitive players who prioritize frame rate above all else, the 1920x1080 resolution with the Low preset is the clear choice, delivering a 219 FPS average. This is the only tested configuration to exceed 200 FPS, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The 2560x1440 Low preset is also a viable option for high refresh rates, achieving a 144 FPS average. However, the performance gap between Low and Medium at both 1080p and 1440p is notable; for instance, at 1440p, the jump from Low (144 FPS) to Medium (114 FPS) is 30 FPS, and at 4K, the jump from Low (80 FPS) to Medium (63 FPS) is 17 FPS. This suggests that the Medium preset provides a substantial visual improvement for a moderate performance cost, making it a strong alternative for those who can tolerate slightly lower frame rates.

The 4K Ultra preset, at 39 FPS, is not recommended for a smooth gaming experience, as it falls below the threshold for comfortable play on most displays. The 4K High preset, with a 50 FPS average, is also suboptimal. The most balanced experience at 3840x2160 is the Medium preset, which provides a 63 FPS average and a minimum of 54 FPS, making it just playable on a 60 Hz display, though frame drops may be noticeable in busy multiplayer scenes. Ultimately, the best experience depends on the user's display and priorities, but the data strongly supports 1440p High as the optimal balance for this combo, with 1080p Ultra as a strong alternative for maximum graphical detail without sacrificing the 60 FPS baseline.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the primary driver of high-resolution performance in this configuration. The GPU's memory subsystem is substantial, featuring 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, which provides a memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. This capacity and bandwidth are more than adequate for the demands of Fivem at the tested settings, as evidenced by the consistent scaling of frame rates across resolutions. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, and its performance is reflected in its benchmark scores, such as a 32974 score in Passmark G3D and a 212363 score in Geekbench OpenCL.

The GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the difference between the Low and Ultra presets is a 112 FPS gap (219 FPS vs. 107 FPS), demonstrating the GPU's ability to handle high frame rates at lower resolutions. However, the most telling data comes from the 4K results, where the GPU is heavily stressed. The transition from Low to Ultra at 3840x2160 results in a 41 FPS difference (80 FPS vs. 39 FPS), showing that the RTX 5070 Ti's computational power is the limiting factor at this resolution with the highest settings. The GPU's 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 686.6 GTexel/s texture rate are being fully utilized in these scenarios.

The RTX 5070 Ti's percentile ranking of 86 among all GPUs, with a Passmark G3D score of 32974, indicates it is a high-end part. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, which scores 50951 and is 2% ahead, and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, which scores 48477 and is 3.1% behind. This context shows that the GPU sits in a competitive performance tier. In Fivem, the GPU's performance is the dominant factor in the 4K Ultra result, where the 39 FPS average is clearly GPU-bound. The data shows that the GPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p with lower settings, but its headroom is exhausted at 4K with the Ultra preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti achieves a rank of 1097 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the upper third of all systems tested, though not in the top tier. The rank is a holistic measure of the combo's in-game performance, and it is informative to compare this rank against the individual component benchmarks. The CPU has an average benchmark score of 34083, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU has an average benchmark score of 49957, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The fact that the combo's in-game rank (approximately the 63rd percentile) is lower than both component percentiles suggests that Fivem's specific performance characteristics are not perfectly correlated with the synthetic benchmarks used for the overall percentiles.

This discrepancy could be due to Fivem's heavy reliance on single-threaded performance or specific engine limitations. The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, which has an average score of 34260 and is 0.5% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, which scores 34222 and is 0.4% ahead. These rivals, being close in average score, would likely produce similar results in Fivem. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, which is 2% ahead in average score, and the Intel Arc A550M, which is 0.4% behind. The combo's rank of 1097 suggests that there are 1096 other hardware combinations that produce higher average frame rates in Fivem, meaning that while this system is capable of strong performance, it is not at the absolute top of the performance hierarchy for this specific game.

The rank also implies that other combinations of CPUs and GPUs, some with lower individual component scores, can outperform this specific pairing in Fivem. This is a key insight, as it indicates that Fivem's performance is not solely dependent on the raw compute power of the CPU and GPU but also on how well they work together in the game's engine. The data shows that this combo is a solid performer, but it does not leverage its hardware's full potential relative to other systems. The 1097th rank out of 3005 is a clear indicator that, while this is a high-end setup, there is a significant number of configurations that achieve better results in this specific multiplayer title.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H serves as the central processor for this combination, and its specifications are notable for a mobile part. It features 16 cores and 22 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes a 24 MB shared L3 cache, which is important for gaming workloads. Its architecture is Meteor Lake, manufactured on a 7 nm process. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14551 and a single-core score of 1759, along with a Passmark multithread score of 25933 and a single-thread score of 3509. These scores place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34083.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is to manage the game world, physics, and the large number of entities typical of multiplayer servers. The measured FPS data shows that the CPU is not a significant bottleneck at lower resolutions. For instance, at 1920x1080 with the Low preset, the system achieves 219 FPS, which is a very high frame rate that would stress the CPU heavily. The fact that it can achieve this suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to sustain high frame rates. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 39 FPS, which is more likely a GPU limitation than a CPU one, as the GPU is fully occupied with rendering at that resolution.

The CPU's performance in Fivem can be compared to its nearest rivals, which include the AMD EPYC 4244P, which has an average score of 34220 and is 0.4% behind, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H, which scores 33989 and is 0.3% behind. These rivals are all within a 0.5% performance delta, indicating that the Core Ultra 7 165H is in a tightly contested performance tier. For a game like Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to single-thread performance, the CPU's boost clock of 5.00 GHz and its single-core Cinebench R23 score of 1759 are likely key contributors to its ability to maintain high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The data shows that the CPU is a strong partner for the RTX 5070 Ti, enabling high frame rates at lower resolutions where the CPU is more likely to be the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 3840x2160 (4K), the Ultra preset yields an average of 39 FPS. The High preset improves this to 50 FPS, the Medium preset to 63 FPS, and the Low preset to 80 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values, showing a range of 54 to 73 FPS. This indicates that at 4K, the system is heavily GPU-bound, and the step from Low to Ultra represents a 41 FPS drop in average performance, which is a 51% reduction in frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p), the performance metrics are significantly higher. The Ultra preset achieves an average of 71 FPS. The High preset delivers 91 FPS, the Medium preset 114 FPS, and the Low preset 144 FPS. The Medium preset again has the only recorded minimum and maximum values, at 97 and 131 FPS respectively. The scaling at this resolution shows a 73 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, which is a 51% drop, similar to the relative drop at 4K. This consistency suggests that the performance scaling is predictable and primarily driven by the GPU's rendering load.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the system demonstrates its highest performance. The Ultra preset averages 107 FPS, the High preset 138 FPS, the Medium preset 173 FPS, and the Low preset 219 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p has a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. The difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 1080p is 112 FPS, which is a 51% drop from the Low preset's average. This consistent 51% reduction across all resolutions when moving from Low to Ultra highlights a uniform performance scaling characteristic. The data also shows that the jump from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings incurs a performance cost; for example, at the High preset, performance drops from 138 FPS to 91 FPS, a 34% reduction. Similarly, moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings drops performance from 91 FPS to 50 FPS, a 45% reduction. These figures illustrate the GPU's scaling with resolution, with the most significant drop occurring between 1440p and 4K.
