Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer-focused title built on a heavily modified engine, and the measured performance of the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with the AMD Radeon 8060S reveals a configuration that is highly responsive at mainstream resolutions but becomes progressively more constrained as the pixel count climbs. The data set provides a clear picture of how the 24-core processor and the integrated RDNA 3.5 graphics solution interact across three resolutions and four quality presets. This analysis walks through the specific roles of each component, the scaling behavior, and the practical implications for players based strictly on the measured frames per second (FPS) and benchmark scores provided.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a 24-core, 24-thread processor based on the Arrow Lake-HX architecture, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 55 W TDP. The processor is part of the Core Ultra Series 2 generation and features a shared L3 cache of 36 MB. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35589 and a single-core score of 2204, alongside a Geekbench multi-core score of 20795 and a single-core score of 2458. Its PassMark multi-thread score is 55759, and it sits at the 94th percentile against all CPUs in the database.

For a game like Fivem, which is known for heavy server-side scripting and complex world interactions, single-thread performance is often a critical factor for maintaining smooth frame pacing. The 275HX’s single-core strength, as indicated by the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2204, provides a solid foundation for the game’s main simulation thread. However, the measured FPS data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo reaches 175 FPS average, which suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at that point, as the GPU is likely rendering simple scenes quickly. The high core count of 24 also helps with background tasks and the many auxiliary threads Fivem can spawn, though the game’s performance scaling with cores is not directly measured here.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 94 means it outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Xeon w5-3525, which is 0.3% slower, and the AMD EPYC 4484PX, which is 0.5% slower. This places the 275HX in elite company, and in Fivem, this headroom is visible in the fact that even at 1440p Ultra, the combo still manages 56 FPS average, indicating that the CPU is feeding the GPU enough data to maintain playable frame rates. When comparing the CPU’s performance to the GPU’s, the processor’s capabilities are far beyond what the integrated graphics can fully utilize at lower resolutions, but at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 31 FPS, which is a stronger indicator of GPU limitation rather than CPU deficiency.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon 8060S is a mobile integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It uses the Strix Halo chip and features a base clock of 1295 MHz with a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The memory configuration is entirely system-shared, meaning there is no dedicated VRAM, and bandwidth is system-dependent. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 64 render output units (ROPs), along with 40 ray tracing cores. Its peak FP32 performance is 14.85 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 8060S scores 2162 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 84626 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 80483 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its average benchmark score is 55757, placing it at the 87th percentile against all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, which is 0.1% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, which is 0.6% faster. This is a notable comparison, as it suggests the 8060S performs on par with a discrete GPU like the RTX 5080 in average benchmark terms, though the context of Fivem’s measured FPS tells a more nuanced story.

The GPU’s role in Fivem is substantial. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 175 FPS, but as settings increase to Medium, High, and Ultra, the frame rate drops to 138, 111, and 86 FPS respectively. This scaling is directly tied to the GPU’s fill rate and shading capacity. The 8060S’s 64 ROPs and 14.85 TFLOPS are sufficient for light loads, but the lack of dedicated VRAM means it relies on system memory bandwidth, which becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 31, which is a steep decline from the 1080p Ultra figure of 86 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is overwhelmed by the pixel count and the texture demands of Fivem’s world at that resolution, despite its solid benchmark standing against discrete rivals.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data provides clear evidence of how the system scales across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 175, which drops to 115 at 1440p Low and then to 64 at 4K Low. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The trend is consistent across all settings, but the magnitude of the drop increases with higher quality presets.

For High settings, the average FPS goes from 111 at 1080p, to 73 at 1440p, and then to 40 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%. For Medium settings, the numbers are 138, 91, and 50 FPS respectively, with drops of 34% and 45%. For Ultra settings, the figures are 86, 56, and 31 FPS, with drops of 35% and 45%. The consistency of these drops suggests a linear scaling pattern that is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario.

The fact that the FPS drops by roughly one-third when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and then by nearly half when moving to 4K, points to the GPU as the primary limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would not drop so dramatically with resolution increases, as the CPU workload would remain relatively constant. The data indicates that the Radeon 8060S simply cannot keep up with the increased pixel throughput required at higher resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra settings also widens as resolution increases: at 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 89 FPS, but at 4K it is only 33 FPS. This further confirms that at 4K, the GPU is so saturated that even reducing settings yields diminishing returns, while at 1080p, the GPU has more headroom to benefit from lower settings.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and AMD Radeon 8060S combination ranks 1714 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower half of all tested systems, which is surprising given the individual component rankings. The CPU ranks at the 94th percentile, and the GPU at the 87th percentile, but the combination’s overall rank suggests that the integrated nature of the GPU and the specific demands of Fivem create a mismatch.

The combo rank of 1714 out of 3005 means that about 43% of tested combinations perform better in this specific game. This is likely because many other combos use discrete GPUs with dedicated VRAM, which can handle Fivem’s draw calls and texture streaming more efficiently. The 8060S’s system-shared memory is a significant handicap in a game like Fivem, which is known for its large open world and many player-created assets. The CPU’s strong single-thread performance helps, but it cannot compensate for the GPU’s memory bandwidth limitations.

Compared to the GPU’s nearest rivals, the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and RTX 5080, the 8060S holds its own in average benchmark scores, but those rivals are discrete cards with their own memory pools. In practice, this means the combo’s rank is dragged down by the GPU’s inability to sustain high frame rates at 4K, where the average FPS falls below 40 on all settings except Low. At 1080p, however, the combo would likely rank much higher, as it achieves over 86 FPS on all settings, which is a playable experience for most users. The rank of 1714 is a holistic measure that includes 4K results, which are clearly the combo’s weakest point.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1080p resolution. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 138 FPS average with a minimum of 118 FPS and a maximum of 159 FPS, providing a smooth and responsive experience that is ideal for multiplayer. Stepping up to High settings yields 111 FPS average, which is still excellent, but the drop to 86 FPS on Ultra suggests that the visual gains may not justify the 25 FPS loss.

For players using a 1440p monitor, Medium settings at 91 FPS average is the best balance, as the minimum FPS is 77, ensuring that most scenes remain fluid. High settings at 73 FPS are acceptable, but Ultra at 56 FPS may feel stuttery in crowded areas. At 4K, the data is clear that Low settings at 64 FPS is the only viable option, as Medium drops to 50 FPS and High falls to 40 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K does provide a minimum FPS of 43 and a maximum of 58, but the average of 50 is borderline for a multiplayer game.

The recommendation is to prioritize 1080p Medium or High for the best frame rates, with 1440p Medium as a solid alternative for higher visual fidelity. Avoid 4K unless the player is willing to accept Low settings and the associated visual compromises.
