Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform that stresses both CPU and GPU depending on the scene and settings. This analysis examines the measured performance of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, based exclusively on the provided benchmark data. The results show a component pairing that scales predictably across resolutions and presets, with a notable shift in bottleneck behavior as settings increase.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows for this Fivem configuration reveal a clear hierarchy among the four tested presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 333 FPS, which is the highest measured value for this combo at any resolution. This setting is suitable for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized over visual fidelity)Skip. However, the Medium preset at 1080p still achieves 263 FPS average, with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 302 FPS, indicating that the extra visual quality comes at a relatively modest 21% performance cost compared to Low.

The High preset at 2560x1440 produces an average of 138 FPS, which is a strong result for a multiplayer game where responsiveness matters. This represents a reasonable balance between image quality and frame pacing. The Ultra preset, by contrast, shows the steepest decline: at 1080p it averages 163 FPS, at 1440p it drops to 107 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 60 FPS. The data suggests that Ultra settings impose a significant load on the RTX 4080, and the 60 FPS average at 4K is the only measured result that dips below the 60 FPS threshold.

For the best experience per the measured rows, the Medium preset at 1440p stands out. It provides a 173 FPS average with a minimum of 147 FPS, which keeps frame times consistent while still offering a step up from Low. At 4K, the Medium preset averages 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS, which is playable but noticeably lower than the 1440p result. The High preset at 4K averages 77 FPS, which is acceptable for slower-paced exploration but may feel less fluid in crowded multiplayer scenarios. Based on the data, the Medium preset offers the most balanced combination of frame rate and visual fidelity across resolutions, particularly when targeting 1440p or 4K output.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the primary driver of frame rate changes when settings are adjusted. The GPU has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. Its base clock is 2205 MHz, boosting to 2505 MHz, and it draws up to 320 W under load. The memory clock is rated at 1400 MHz with 22.4 Gbps effective speedchers. These specifications place the RTX 4080 in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247.

In Fivem, the data shows that the RTX 4080's capabilities are progressively taxed as settings rise. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 333 FPS, indicating that it is not the limiting factor at this preset. Moving to Medium at 1080p reduces the average to 263 FPS, and High drops it to 210 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 163 FPS, which is roughly half the Low preset's output. This pattern suggests that the Ultra preset engages heavy GPU workloads, likely involving higher resolution textures and more complex shading, which the RTX 4080 handles capably but with diminishing returns.

At 4K, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced. The Low preset at 3840x2160 averages 122 FPS, which is still high, but the Ultra preset drops to 60 FPS. The RTX 4080's 16 GB VRAM is sufficient for these settings, as no memory-related stutters are indicated in the min FPS values for the Medium preset (82 FPS at 4K). The GPU's transistor count is 45,900 million on a 5 nm process, and it has 9728 shading units, which explains its ability to sustain high frame rates at 1440p where it averages 219 FPS on Low. The data indicates that the RTX 4080 is well-suited for Fivem at Medium and High settings, but the Ultra preset pushes it near its limits at 4K resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings, providing a complete picture of this combo's performance. Starting with 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 333 FPS. The Medium preset averages 263 FPS, with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 302 FPS. The High preset averages 210 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 163 FPS. No min or max values are listed for Low, High, or Ultra at 1080p.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 219 FPS. The Medium preset averages 173 FPS, with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. The High preset averages 138 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 107 FPS. Again, only the Medium preset includes min and max values.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 122 FPS. The Medium preset averages 96 FPS, with a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS. The High preset averages 77 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 60 FPS. The min and max values are only available for the Medium preset across all resolutions.

The data reveals that the Medium preset consistently provides a narrower frame time distribution, as evidenced by the min and max values. At 4K Medium, the 82 FPS minimum ensures that even in heavy scenes, the frame rate stays above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p Medium, the 147 FPS minimum is closer to the High preset's average of 138 FPS, suggesting that Medium offers more stable performance than High at that resolution. The Ultra preset's lack of min/max data makes it harder to assess frame consistency, but the average FPS values indicate a steep drop-off from High.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K varies significantly by preset, which reveals the nature of the bottleneck. For the Low preset, the average FPS goes from 333 at 1080p to 219 at 1440p, a 34% reduction, and then to 122 at 4K, a 44% reduction from 1440p. This scaling pattern is typical for a CPU-limited scenario, where resolution has less impact because the CPU is the primary constraint.

For the Medium preset, the average FPS goes from 263 at 1080p to 173 at 1440p, a 34% drop, and then to 96 at 4K, a 44% drop from 1440p. This is similar to the Low preset's scaling, indicating that the CPU remains a significant factor at Medium settings.

The High preset shows a different pattern. At 1080p, the average is 210 FPS. At 1440p, it drops to 138 FPS, a 34% reduction. At 4K, it falls to 77 FPS, a 44% reduction from 1440p. The percentage drops are consistent with the Low and Medium presets, but the absolute values are lower, suggesting that the GPU is starting to become more involved.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling. From 1080p (163 FPS) to 1440p (107 FPS), the drop is 34%. From 1440p to 4K (60 FPS), the drop is 44%. While the percentage reductions are similar to other presets, the Ultra preset's 4K average of 60 FPS is the lowest measured, indicating that the GPU is now the limiting component. The fact that the percentage drops are similar across all presets suggests that Fivem's engine has a consistent scaling behavior, but the absolute frame rates show that the RTX 4080 is only fully saturated at Ultra settings in 4K.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is a 20-core, 20-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU has 30 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth. It ranks in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 64640.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 333 FPS, which is likely beyond what the RTX 4080 would produce if it were the sole bottleneck. The CPU's single-thread performance is strong, as indicated by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5960 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4689. Multi-thread performance is also robust, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42216 and a Passmark multithread score of 49682.

The data shows that the CPU's influence diminishes as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 60, which is a fraction of the 1080p Low result. This indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU maintains adequate headroom. The CPU's 20 cores and 20 threads are likely more than sufficient for Fivem's multiplayer workloads, which often involve many connected players and scripted events. However, the lack of hyperthreading means that the CPU relies on physical cores alone, but the high boost clock of 5.30 GHz compensates for this in single-threaded scenarios.
