Fivem

Fivem is a demanding multiplayer title, and this combination of an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti produces a wide spread of frame rates depending on how you configure it. The data shows that the sweet spot for this pairing is the Medium preset, which balances visual fidelity with high, consistent frame rates across all common resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 241 FPS, dropping to 159 FPS at 2560x1440, and still maintaining a playable 88 FPS at 3840x2160. The High preset is a viable alternative for those prioritizing image quality, offering 193 FPS at 1080p and 127 FPS at 1440p, but the jump to 4K on High brings the average down to 70 FPS. The Ultra preset pushes the hardware hardest, with frame rates falling to 150 FPS at 1080p and a marginal 55 FPS at 4K, which is less ideal for a fast-paced multiplayer environment.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation based on the measured data. It provides a substantial performance headroom over High and Ultra settings, ensuring smoother gameplay in crowded or action-heavy scenarios. At 1080p, the 241 FPS average on Medium is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors, and it is a significant 48 FPS improvement over the High preset's 193 FPS. The gap widens at 1440p, where Medium's 159 FPS average is 32 FPS higher than High's 127 FPS, providing a butter-smooth experience. Even at 4K, Medium is the only preset besides Low that keeps the average above 60 FPS, with an 88 FPS result that makes 4K gaming feasible, whereas High and Ultra dip to 70 FPS and 55 FPS respectively.

If your monitor is 1080p or 1440p, the High preset is also a strong choice, as it still delivers well over 120 FPS on average. However, the measured minimum FPS for the Medium preset at 1440p is 135, which is higher than the average FPS for High at that resolution (127). This indicates that Medium provides not only a higher average but also a more consistent frame pacing. For players with 4K displays, Medium is the highest setting that guarantees a playable experience, as the 55 FPS average on Ultra is below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the baseline for smooth play.

The Low preset offers the highest frame rates—305 FPS at 1080p, 201 FPS at 1440p, and 112 FPS at 4K—but it does so by sacrificing visual quality. This is best reserved for competitive players who prioritize maximum responsiveness over graphics. Given the hardware's capability, the performance cost of moving from Low to Medium is relatively modest (a 21% decrease at 1080p), while the visual uplift is significant. Therefore, Medium strikes the optimal balance, offering a high-quality experience without leaving substantial performance on the table.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of frame rates in this configuration, especially as resolution and settings scale up. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the texture and asset streaming demands of a multiplayer open-world game at these tested settings. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz and its 7680 shading units are put to work heavily, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops when moving from Medium to Ultra. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 55, suggesting the GPU is nearing its limits with this workload.

Benchmark results place the RTX 4070 Ti in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with its average benchmark score of 44795 sitting close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, which scores 45152 (a -0.8% delta). This indicates that the 4070 Ti is a high-end part, but the measured FPS data shows that Fivem's Ultra settings are exceptionally demanding. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at the same settings shows a substantial load increase: High drops from 127 FPS to 70 FPS, and Medium from 159 FPS to 88 FPS. This 44-45% performance hit when moving to 4K highlights the GPU's role as the bottleneck at that resolution.

At 1080p, the GPU has more headroom, but the CPU begins to play a larger part. The difference between Low (305 FPS) and Medium (241 FPS) at 1080p is 64 FPS, while the difference between Medium and Ultra (150 FPS) is 91 FPS. This shows that the GPU is still the primary limiter even at lower resolutions, but the performance curve is not linear. The 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and the 626.4 GTexel/s texture rate are clearly being utilized, but the data suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects or geometry that disproportionately impact the GPU, as the 4K Ultra result of 55 FPS is the only sub-60 FPS average in the entire dataset.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 provides the processing backbone for this combo, and its specifications suggest it is more than capable of feeding the RTX 4070 Ti. With 20 cores and 20 threads, a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache, the CPU has ample resources for managing game logic, physics, and the multitude of entities typically present in a Fivem server. The data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the GPU load is lightest, the system achieves 305 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this scenario.

The CPU's benchmark scores are strong, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42216 and single-core score of 5960 demonstrate high throughput and responsiveness. In the nearestRivals comparison, the Core Ultra 7 265 is effectively tied with the AMD EPYC 4464P (a -0.3% delta), showing that its raw processing power is on par with enterprise-level parts. This headroom is crucial for Fivem, which can be sensitive to CPU performance in populated areas, as the frame rate data does not show any unexpected dips that would indicate a CPU limitation.

The measured results show that moving from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings results in a consistent performance drop, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. For instance, at High settings, the FPS goes from 193 at 1080p to 127 at 1440p. This scaling is consistent across all settings, suggesting the CPU maintains its performance level regardless of resolution. The CPU's 65W TDP and 102.4 GB/s of dual-channel DDR5 memory bandwidth ensure it can keep up with the GPU's data demands without creating a bottleneck, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions where the CPU's role is proportionally larger.

How This Combo Ranks

When looking at the bigger picture, this specific pairing of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 324th out of 3005 tested combinations in Fivem. This puts it in the top 11% of all tested systems, which is a strong result. The data indicates that while this is not the absolute fastest configuration possible, it is a very high-performing combo that will easily handle the game at high settings on standard monitors.

The combo rank of 324 out of 3005 suggests that there are many other systems that can achieve higher frame rates, likely those with more powerful GPUs. However, the measured FPS data shows that this combo delivers excellent results at 1440p and even playable 4K performance on Medium settings. The fact that it ranks in the 89th percentile of all combos confirms the balance between the CPU and GPU. The individual components are both in the top 16% of their respective categories (CPU: 93rd percentile, GPU: 84th percentile), and their pairing clearly works well for this title.

The rank implies that for a user with a high-refresh-rate 1440p monitor, this system is overqualified, as it pushes well over 150 FPS on Medium. For a 4K user, the system is adequate but requires settings management. This ranking provides a useful reference point: it is not a budget system by any stretch, but it also does not represent the absolute pinnacle of performance. The data shows a significant performance gap between this combo and the top-tier systems, but for the vast majority of players, the frame rates on offer here are more than sufficient for a competitive and immersive experience.
