Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER produces a wide range of frame rates in Fivem, depending on resolution and quality settings. The data reveals a system where the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, while the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance keeps frame rates high at lower resolutions. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, contextualizes it against other tested combinations, and provides clear guidance on the best settings for this specific hardware pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and pronounced drop in performance as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 101 FPS at 1080p to 66 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 35 FPS. Pushing further to 4K, the average drops to 37 FPS, representing a 64 FPS decline from the 1080p figure. This steep scaling curve indicates that the rendering workload is expanding faster than the RTX 2060 SUPER can handle as pixel count increases.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all quality presets. With Low settings, the average frame rate moves from 159 FPS at 1080p, down to 105 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 58 FPS at 4K. This demonstrates that even at the lowest graphical load, the resolution increase alone is enough to halve the performance. For Medium settings, the progression is from 126 FPS at 1080p to 83 FPS at 1440p and 46 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings show the same trend, starting at 78 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 51 FPS at 1440p, and bottoming out at 28 FPS at 4K.

The most telling data point is the 4K Ultra result of 28 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. This indicates that at 4K, the system is heavily limited by the graphics card's processing power and memory bandwidth. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is being saturated at this resolution. The fact that even Low settings at 4K only yield 58 FPS reinforces that the GPU is the limiting component in this configuration, as the CPU's performance headroom cannot compensate for the pixel fill rate demands.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the decisive factor in this system's Fivem performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Its specifications from the FACT PACK show a GPU with a boost clock of 1650 MHz and 2176 shading units, which are responsible for the raw computational throughput. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, a figure that becomes critical when rendering at 4K. The benchmark data suggests that this memory subsystem is a bottleneck, as the average FPS at 4K High is only 37, which is a significant drop from the 66 FPS at 1440p.

The GPU's position in the market is reflected in its percentile ranking of 62, meaning it performs better than 62% of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score of 18093 places it in close competition with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, which has a deltaPct of -0.4, indicating the RTX 2060 SUPER is essentially on par with that mobile part. This data suggests that while the GPU is not top-tier, it is a capable mid-range component. However, for a demanding multiplayer title like Fivem, it shows its age when pushed to 4K.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU clock speed and memory configuration directly influence the results. At 1080p Medium, the system achieves 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS, which is a solid playable experience. The GPU's ability to maintain frame rates above 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p (except for Ultra at 1440p) indicates that its compute and memory resources are sufficient for lower pixel counts. The transition to 4K, however, exposes the GPU's limitations, as even the High preset, which typically balances load, cannot maintain a 60 FPS average. This is a clear sign that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the component that determines the ceiling for visual fidelity in this game.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER holds a rank of 2078 out of 3005 combos for Fivem. This places the combo in the lower third of all tested systems, indicating that while it can run the game, it does not offer top-tier performance relative to other configurations. The rank of 2078 suggests that many other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher frame rates in this game, which is likely due to the GPU's age relative to newer components.

The CPU itself is a high-end part, as evidenced by its percentile rank of 96 against all CPUs and an average benchmark score of 93785. Its nearest rivals in terms of CPU performance are the Intel Xeon 6520P with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD EPYC 4564P with a deltaPct of -1.5, and the AMD EPYC 9175F with a deltaPct of -1.9. These are all server-class processors, which shows that the Ultra 7 270K Plus is a very powerful consumer chip. However, this CPU power is not fully utilized in Fivem at high resolutions because the GPU becomes the bottleneck, dragging the overall combo rank down.

The GPU's benchmark data shows a percentile rank of 62 and an average score of 18093, with its nearest rival being the RTX 3060 Mobile at a deltaPct of -0.4. This indicates that the GPU is a mid-range performer. When combined with a top-tier CPU, the system is unbalanced for this game, as the GPU cannot keep up with the CPU's potential. The combo rank of 2078 out of 3005 reflects this imbalance, showing that the limiting factor is clearly the graphics card, and that users with a similarly powerful CPU but a stronger GPU would see significantly better results in Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at performance across three resolutions and four quality settings. At 1920x1080, the system performs well. With Low settings, the average FPS is 159, which is the highest recorded value in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield an average of 126 FPS, with a minimum of 107 FPS and a maximum of 145 FPS, showing a stable frame time distribution. High settings drop the average to 101 FPS, while Ultra settings bring it down to 78 FPS. All of these 1080p results are above 60 FPS, indicating a smooth experience at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains solid but shows a noticeable decline. Low settings produce an average of 105 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium settings average 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, suggesting some variance but generally consistent performance. High settings average 66 FPS, which is close to the 60 FPS threshold, while Ultra settings drop to an average of 51 FPS. This 51 FPS figure is below the ideal 60 FPS target, indicating that Ultra at 1440p is not recommended for this hardware.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly overburdened. Low settings produce an average of 58 FPS, which is barely above 60 FPS and marks the only preset at 4K that is potentially playable. Medium settings average 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS, showing that frame rates can dip well below acceptable levels. High settings average 37 FPS, and Ultra settings average just 28 FPS. These 4K results demonstrate that the RTX 2060 SUPER is not suitable for high-fidelity gaming at this resolution in Fivem, as the frame rates are too low for a smooth multiplayer experience.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a formidable processor that provides ample headroom for Fivem, but its role is secondary to the GPU in this configuration. The CPU features 24 cores and 24 threads, which is an unusual 1:1 core-to-thread ratio. Its boost clock of 5.50 GHz and base clock of 3.70 GHz are high figures, and its benchmark scores reflect its capability. In Cinebench R23, it scores 44253 in multicore and 2439 in single-core tests, indicating strong performance in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.

The CPU's PassMark scores reinforce its high-end status. Its multithread score is 68574, and its single-thread score is 5068. It also scores 229491 in floating point math and 175986 in integer math, showing robust computational power. This performance is why the CPU ranks in the 96th percentile of all CPUs. However, in Fivem, the game's engine often relies on single-core performance for game logic, and the CPU's single-core score of 5068 is excellent, which helps maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the bottleneck.

The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as the frame rates are high but not exceptionally so for a top-tier CPU. For instance, at 1080p Low, the average is 159 FPS, which is good, but a more powerful GPU paired with this CPU might not yield much higher results, as the game's engine and CPU overhead cap the frame rate. At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's role diminishes, as the GPU's rendering time dominates the overall frame time. The CPU's 24 cores and 36 MB of L3 cache are more than sufficient for a multiplayer game like Fivem, which often has many entities and scripts running, and the data suggests that the CPU is not causing any performance bottlenecks at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this hardware depend heavily on the target resolution. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as it delivers an average of 78 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and it provides the highest visual fidelity without any performance concerns. The High preset at 1080p offers 101 FPS, which is also excellent, but Ultra provides more visual detail for a small FPS cost, so it is recommended for users who prioritize image quality.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the sweet spot, achieving an average of 66 FPS. The Medium preset offers 83 FPS, which is higher, but the jump to High provides a significant visual improvement while still maintaining an average above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 51 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and may result in noticeable stuttering in a fast-paced multiplayer game, so it is not recommended. For a competitive edge, the Low preset at 1440p offers 105 FPS, which is ideal for maximizing frame rate, but it sacrifices visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the data shows that this GPU is not capable of delivering a smooth experience. The Low preset is the only option that comes close to 60 FPS, with an average of 58 FPS, but this is marginal and may not be stable. The Medium preset averages 46 FPS, and High and Ultra average 37 FPS and 28 FPS respectively, all of which are too low for a playable experience. Users with a 4K monitor should either reduce the resolution to 1440p or lower the in-game resolution scale to achieve playable frame rates. The overall recommendation is to prioritize High settings at 1440p for the best balance of visual quality and performance, as this provides a 66 FPS average, ensuring a responsive and visually appealing experience in Fivem.
