GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. It houses 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz. Its memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The card's FP32 compute throughput is listed at 15.11 TFLOPS.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is central to rendering the game world and its many player-modified assets. The measured data shows a clear scaling pattern: at 1920x1080, the GPU can push 189 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 92 FPS on Ultra. This 51% reduction in performance with increased quality settings demonstrates the GPU's load under heavier effects and draw distances. Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset yields 61 FPS, and at 3840x2160, the Ultra preset falls to 34 FPS. These figures illustrate that the RTX 4060 is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming but struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K with maximum quality. The GPU's 8 GB memory buffer, while standard for its class, is adequate but not expansive for the high-resolution textures often used in Fivem communities.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination holds a rank of 1579 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the lower half of all tested configurations for this specific game. The ranking is notable because it contrasts with the individual component standings: the CPU is in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. The discrepancy suggests that Fivem's performance profile does not scale perfectly with the raw benchmark strength of these components.

The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD EPYC 4464P, has an average score that is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is 0.3% lower, and the AMD EPYC 7343 is 0.7% lower. These are very tight margins, indicating that the CPU is in a highly competitive performance tier. However, in Fivem, the combo's rank of 1579 out of 3005 implies that the overall system performance is moderate. This could be due to the game's engine being sensitive to single-thread performance or specific memory latency, where the CPU's 20 cores and 20 threads are not fully utilized. The data indicates that while the hardware is strong in synthetic tests, its real-world performance in this multiplayer environment is less dominant.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting a 60 FPS average, the data suggests that the High preset at 2560x1440 is the optimal choice, delivering 78 FPS. At 1920x1080, the High preset provides 119 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 92 FPS, still comfortably above 60 FPS, but the jump to 1440p Ultra drops to 61 FPS, which is right at the threshold. For a balanced experience, the Medium preset at 1440p offers 98 FPS, providing a smoother experience than High with only a slight visual compromise.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves a 60 FPS average. The Low preset reaches 69 FPS, but the Medium preset drops to 54 FPS, and High falls to 44 FPS. Therefore, 4K gaming is only viable on the Low preset, and even then, it is close to the 60 FPS line. The measured data indicates that the RTX 4060 is not designed for high-fidelity 4K gaming in Fivem. The best overall experience, balancing visual quality and frame rate, appears to be the High preset at 2560x1440 or the Ultra preset at 1920x1080 for users who prioritize visual fidelity over maximum frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4060 delivers its strongest performance. The Low preset produces an average of 189 FPS. The Medium preset averages 149 FPS, with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS. The High preset averages 119 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 92 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is a 97 FPS drop, showing that the GPU has ample headroom at this resolution for lower settings but is taxed by the highest quality presets.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS figures are 124 for Low, 98 for Medium, 78 for High, and 61 for Ultra. The Medium preset's minimum is 83 FPS and maximum is 113 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction in frame rates across all settings. The Ultra preset's average of 61 FPS is exactly at the standard 60 FPS target, making it a borderline choice for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly. The Low preset averages 69 FPS, the Medium preset averages 54 FPS, the High preset averages 44 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 34 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution has a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS. This data clearly shows that 4K is a challenging environment for this GPU, with only the Low preset managing to stay above the 60 FPS average threshold.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is a 20-core, 20-thread processor from the Arrow Lake-S architecture, based on a 3 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel interface, offering 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is substantial due to the game's complex multiplayer simulation. The CPU's benchmark scores are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42216 and a single-core score of 5960. Its Passmark single-thread score is 4689, and its multithread score is 49682. These figures indicate a high level of both parallel and single-thread performance. Fivem often relies heavily on a single main thread for game logic, meaning the 5.30 GHz boost clock is likely more critical than the 20-core count. The CPU's percentile of 93 reflects its overall strength, but the combo rank in Fivem suggests that the game's engine may not fully leverage the CPU's multi-core capabilities, potentially bottlenecking at the single-thread level in certain server scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable decline as resolution increases. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 189 at 1080p to 124 at 1440p and 69 at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 63% drop from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the averages are 119, 78, and 44 for 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively, representing a 34% drop to 1440p and a 63% drop to 4K.

The scaling factor is consistent across settings, with 4K roughly halving the frame rate compared to 1080p. This pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering resolution is the primary performance limiter. The consistent percentage drops across all presets indicate that the CPU is not the limiting factor at higher resolutions; the RTX 4060's compute and memory bandwidth are being saturated. However, at 1080p Low, the CPU's role becomes more prominent, as the 189 FPS average suggests the system is capable of high frame generation limited by the game's CPU-side logic. The data suggests that the ideal balance for this combo is at 1440p, where the GPU is sufficiently loaded to deliver good image quality without overwhelming its capabilities.
