Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy for settings optimization in Fivem. For users prioritizing high frame rates, the Low preset at 1920x1080 is the standout option, producing an average of 189 FPS. This is the highest average FPS recorded across all resolutions and settings. The Medium preset at the same resolution follows closely with 149 FPS, offering a substantial visual upgrade for a 40 FPS reduction. The High preset at 1080p, averaging 119 FPS, remains above the 60 FPS threshold and is suitable for smooth play, though it falls short of the 144 Hz mark that Low and Medium achieve.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 124 FPS, which is still excellent for competitive play. Medium drops to 98 FPS, maintaining high fluidity, while High averages 78 FPS, which is adequate for most players. The Ultra preset at 1440p, averaging 61 FPS, sits right at the edge of playability; it is playable but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes. The data suggests that for a balanced experience at 1440p, Medium is the sweet spot, as it provides a 35 FPS advantage over High and keeps the minimum FPS at 83, ensuring consistent frame times.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. The Low preset averages 69 FPS, which is the only 4K setting that exceeds 60 FPS on average. Medium averages 54 FPS with a minimum of 46, indicating noticeable dips, while High averages 44 FPS and Ultra drops to 34 FPS. The recommendation for 4K is to stick with Low settings if a playable frame rate is the goal. Medium is borderline, and High or Ultra should be avoided due to average FPS below 45. The 1080p Medium preset, with a minimum FPS of 127, appears to be the most robust choice for users who want high frame rates without sacrificing too much visual fidelity.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals the GPU-bound nature of Fivem at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 189 at 1080p to 124 at 1440p, a reduction of 65 FPS, and then to 69 at 4K, a further reduction of 55 FPS. This represents a 63% decrease in FPS from 1080p to 4K. The scaling at Medium settings shows a similar pattern: 149 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K, a 64% drop from the lowest to highest resolution. High settings exhibit the same trend, with 119 FPS at 1080p, 78 FPS at 1440p, and 44 FPS at 4K, a 63% reduction.

The consistency of this percentage drop across all settings suggests that resolution scaling follows a predictable curve, with the GPU’s rendering load increasing proportionally to pixel count. The RTX 4070 Mobile’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the memory bandwidth and pixel throughput become limiting factors. The pixel rate of 81.36 GPixel/s and texture rate of 244.1 GTexel/s are the specifications that govern this scaling. At 4K, the GPU must process over four times the pixels of 1080p, and the measured FPS reflects this strain, with even Low settings dropping to 69 FPS.

The data indicates that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in resolution scaling. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX, with its 20 cores and 20 threads, provides ample processing power, as evidenced by its high Cinebench scores, including a multi-core score of 40642 in R23. The FPS drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU’s rendering workload. This is further supported by the fact that the difference in FPS between 1080p and 1440p is roughly similar across all settings, which would not be the case if the CPU were struggling. The limiting component at 4K is definitively the GPU, as the RTX 4070 Mobile cannot maintain high frame rates when pixel count quadruples.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its best results. The Low preset delivers an average of 189 FPS, the highest number in the entire dataset. Medium averages 149 FPS, with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS, indicating stable performance. High averages 119 FPS, while Ultra averages 92 FPS. All four presets at 1080p exceed 90 FPS, making this resolution the most versatile for the combo. The gap between Low and Ultra is 97 FPS, showing that settings have a profound impact at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease but remain respectable. Low averages 124 FPS, which is still above 120 FPS. Medium averages 98 FPS, with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 61 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 63 FPS, narrower than at 1080p, as the GPU begins to exert more influence. The minimum FPS for Medium at 1440p, 83 FPS, is still above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that this preset offers a good balance of quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, the FPS drops significantly. Low averages 69 FPS, the only 4K preset above 60. Medium averages 54 FPS, with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS. High averages 44 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 35 FPS, which is the smallest absolute spread across all resolutions, but the percentage difference is substantial. The data shows that 4K is only viable with Low settings, and even then, the average FPS is barely above 60, leaving little room for demanding multiplayer scenarios common in Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is the driving force behind the measured FPS, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU’s specifications include a base clock of 1395 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz, with 4608 shading units and 144 texture mapping units. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. The GPU’s FP32 performance is rated at 15.62 TFLOPS. These figures correlate with the observed performance: at 1080p, the GPU has enough bandwidth and compute to push high frame rates, but at 4K, the 128-bit memory bus becomes a constraint.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 27435, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, scores 27425, a delta of 0%, indicating near-identical raw compute performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 scores 27565, which is only 0.5% higher, showing that the RTX 4070 Mobile competes with desktop-class GPUs from previous generations. In Fivem, this translates to solid performance at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results reveal the limits of its memory subsystem. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game’s textures at all settings, but the bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s is not enough to sustain high frame rates at 4K, where the pixel rate of 81.36 GPixel/s is stressed.

The GPU’s boost clock of 1695 MHz is relatively modest, and the measured FPS at 1080p (119-189 FPS) suggests that the GPU is not the bottleneck at that resolution. Instead, the CPU’s ability to feed frames becomes more relevant. However, as resolution increases, the GPU’s rasterization and memory bandwidth take over as the limiting factors. The data shows that the RTX 4070 Mobile is a capable 1440p GPU, but 4K is only playable at Low settings, and even then, the average FPS of 69 is below what many users would consider smooth for a fast-paced multiplayer game.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX provides the processing backbone for this combo. It has 20 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.60 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. Its benchmark results are strong, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 40642 and a single-core score of 5737. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 63173, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS of 189 is likely close to the CPU’s maximum frame output, as the GPU has ample headroom. The single-thread performance, evidenced by the R23 single-core score of 5737 and PassMark single-thread score of 4500, is critical for Fivem’s game logic and physics, which are typically single-threaded. The CPU’s boost clock of 5.30 GHz helps in this regard, providing high per-core performance.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX is slightly ahead of the Intel Core i7-13790F (0.1% delta) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX (0.7% delta). This indicates that the CPU is not a weak link in the system. The measured FPS at 1080p High (119 FPS) and Ultra (92 FPS) suggests that the CPU is capable of supporting high frame rates, but the GPU begins to limit performance as settings increase. At 4K, the CPU’s workload does not increase significantly, and the FPS drops are almost entirely due to GPU limitations. The CPU’s 20 threads and high boost clock ensure that it does not bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios, making the GPU the primary determinant of FPS at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile ranks 1993rd out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the 54th percentile of all combinations, meaning it outperforms slightly more than half of the tested systems. This mid-pack ranking is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows strong 1080p performance but mediocre 4K results. The combo’s rank reflects a balance between a high-end CPU and a mid-range mobile GPU, resulting in a system that is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming but not for 4K enthusiasts.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 93 among all CPUs is significantly higher than the GPU’s percentile rank of 73. This discrepancy indicates that the CPU is a top-tier component, while the GPU is above average but not exceptional. In Fivem, this means that the CPU is rarely the bottleneck; instead, the GPU’s capabilities define the overall experience. The combo’s rank of 1993 out of 3707 suggests that many systems with similar or better GPUs outrank it, but it also outperforms a large number of combinations with weaker CPUs or GPUs.

When compared to other tested combos, this pairing is positioned for users who prioritize CPU-heavy tasks alongside gaming. The CPU’s high multi-threaded scores, such as the PassMark multi-thread score of 47985, indicate that it excels in non-gaming workloads, but in Fivem, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth limit the overall ranking. The data shows that for a higher rank, a more powerful GPU would be necessary, particularly one with greater memory bandwidth, as the 4K results are the weakest aspect of this combo. The mid-pack ranking is a fair reflection of its strengths and weaknesses in Fivem, with excellent 1080p performance and adequate 1440p, but subpar 4K capability.
