Fivem

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination in Fivem delivers a performance profile that is heavily skewed by resolution and settings, with the CPU providing a strong foundation while the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher visual demands. Benchmark results show this pairing ranks 1802 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. The measured frames per second (FPS) data reveals a system that is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p but struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at 4K Ultra, indicating a clear balance between the 24-core processor and the 8 GB graphics card.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, but the pattern reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 168 at 1920x1080 to 111 at 2560x1440, then further to 61 at 3840x2160. That represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 45% further reduction from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline at Low settings indicates that even when graphical load is minimized, the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors as pixel count rises.

At Medium settings, the scaling follows a similar trajectory: 133 FPS at 1080p, 87 FPS at 1440p, and 48 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 35%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%. The consistent percentage drops across Low and Medium suggest that the GPU is the dominant constraint, as the CPU’s 24 threads and 36 MB of L3 cache are more than sufficient to feed the graphics card at these resolutions. The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35589, is unlikely to be the limiting component in any of these scenarios.

High settings show a slightly different pattern: 106 FPS at 1080p, 70 FPS at 1440p, and 39 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop is 34%, while the 1440p to 4K drop is 44%. Ultra settings produce the lowest numbers: 82 FPS at 1080p, 54 FPS at 1440p, and 30 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p reduction is 34%, and the 1440p to 4K reduction is 44%. These percentages are remarkably consistent across High and Ultra, further confirming that the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution above 1080p.

The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS is barely playable, and the 4K High result of 39 FPS is not much better. Even at 4K Low, the system only achieves 61 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that many users consider the minimum for smooth play. This data indicates that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combo in Fivem, regardless of settings. The RTX 4060’s 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance are simply insufficient for the pixel workload at 3840x2160.

At 1440p, the situation is more favorable. Low settings produce 111 FPS, Medium produces 87 FPS, and High produces 70 FPS. Only Ultra dips below 60 FPS at 54 FPS, which is still close to playable but may exhibit stuttering in busy multiplayer scenarios. The data suggests that 1440p is the practical ceiling for this combo, with Medium and High settings offering the best balance between visual quality and frame rate.

The 1080p results are uniformly strong, with all settings above 80 FPS. Low settings hit 168 FPS, Medium hits 133 FPS, High hits 106 FPS, and Ultra hits 82 FPS. This resolution is clearly where the combo shines, as the CPU’s high single-core performance (Geekbench single-core score of 2458) and the GPU’s 3072 shading units are well-matched to the lower pixel count. The resolution scaling data strongly suggests that users targeting 1440p or higher should expect the RTX 4060 to be the primary limiter, while 1080p users will see more balanced performance.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX features 24 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This processor, built on a 3 nm process by TSMC, delivers strong multi-threaded performance as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35589 and Passmark multi-thread score of 55759. Its percentile ranking of 94 versus all CPUs places it in the top tier of processors, and its average benchmark score of 67469 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, including the Intel Xeon w5-3525 at 67673 (a delta of -0.3%) and the AMD EPYC 4484PX at 67822 (a delta of -0.5%).

In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification of Grand Theft Auto V, CPU performance is critical for handling the game’s simulation and networking layers. The 275HX’s 24 threads provide ample headroom for these tasks, and its high boost clock of 5.40 GHz ensures strong single-threaded performance for the game’s main render thread. The Geekbench single-core score of 2458 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2204 confirm that this CPU excels in lightly-threaded workloads, which is directly relevant to Fivem’s engine.

The fact that FPS numbers at 1080p remain high across all settings (from 82 FPS at Ultra to 168 FPS at Low) indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution. Even at 1440p, where the GPU begins to struggle, the CPU appears to keep up, as evidenced by the relatively smooth scaling from 1080p to 1440p (a 34-35% drop across settings). Only at 4K does the system become severely GPU-limited, with FPS dropping by 44-45% from 1440p, which suggests the CPU has significant headroom left unused.

The 275HX’s memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support are likely sufficient for Fivem’s data demands. The 36 MB of shared L3 cache further aids in reducing memory latency, which is beneficial for a game that loads many assets in a multiplayer environment. The Passmark data compression score of 608381 and encryption score of 47112 indicate strong throughput for data-heavy tasks, which may help with asset streaming in Fivem.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the 275HX is essentially tied in average benchmark score, with deltas of -0.3% to 0.7% against the Xeon w5-3525, EPYC 4484PX, Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX, and Xeon 6515P. This suggests that any performance differences in Fivem would be negligible and likely masked by GPU limitations. The CPU’s role in this combo is to provide a stable, high-performance foundation that does not constrain the RTX 4060, and the measured FPS data supports this conclusion.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It features 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units, with 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores. Its boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz, combined with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yield a memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The GPU’s FP32 performance is 15.11 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s, with a texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s.

The RTX 4060’s percentile ranking versus all GPUs is 61, and its average benchmark score is 17639. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 at 17666 (a delta of -0.2%), the AMD Radeon 780M at 17588 (a delta of 0.3%), the AMD Radeon Pro 560 at 17551 (a delta of 0.5%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 at 17509 (a delta of 0.7%). These small deltas indicate that the RTX 4060 is closely matched with these GPUs in synthetic benchmarks, though its real-world performance in Fivem is more nuanced.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p, the GPU can deliver high frame rates across all settings, with Ultra producing 82 FPS and Low producing 168 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM is adequate at this resolution, and the 272.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the pixel workload. At 1440p, the GPU begins to show strain, with Ultra dropping to 54 FPS and High to 70 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM may be near capacity at 1440p Ultra, as Fivem’s high-resolution textures can consume significant memory.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS and 4K High result of 39 FPS are below playable thresholds, and even 4K Medium at 48 FPS is marginal. The 4K Low result of 61 FPS is the only 4K setting that approaches acceptable performance, but it still falls short of the 1080p Low result of 168 FPS by a significant margin. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM is likely exceeded at 4K Ultra, causing texture swapping and reduced performance. The 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are also insufficient for the massive pixel throughput required at 3840x2160.

The GPU’s ray tracing cores (24 RT cores) and tensor cores (96) are present but are not directly utilized in Fivem’s standard rendering path, as the game does not heavily rely on these features. The DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure that the GPU can handle modern rendering techniques, but Fivem’s engine is based on older technology that primarily stresses raw rasterization performance.

The Passmark G3D score of 19545 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 provide synthetic context for the GPU’s capabilities. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 95057 and Vulkan score of 48643 indicate strong compute performance, which may help with Fivem’s custom scripts and mods that run on the CPU but can offload some work to the GPU. However, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU’s rasterization performance is the primary determinant of frame rates in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its highest frame rates: Low settings produce an average of 168 FPS, Medium produces 133 FPS with a minimum of 113 FPS and maximum of 153 FPS, High produces 106 FPS, and Ultra produces 82 FPS. The Medium setting shows a narrow range between minimum and maximum, indicating stable performance, while the other settings lack min/max data but likely follow similar patterns.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 111 FPS, Medium averages 87 FPS with a minimum of 74 FPS and maximum of 100 FPS, High averages 70 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The Medium setting’s min/max range of 74-100 FPS shows a wider variance than at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU is working harder and frame times are less consistent. The Ultra result of 54 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, which may be noticeable in fast-paced multiplayer scenarios.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes marginal. Low settings average 61 FPS, Medium averages 48 FPS with a minimum of 41 FPS and maximum of 56 FPS, High averages 39 FPS, and Ultra averages 30 FPS. The Medium setting’s minimum of 41 FPS and maximum of 56 FPS indicate significant frame time spikes, which could cause stuttering during gameplay. The 4K Ultra result of 30 FPS is at the edge of playability, and 4K High at 39 FPS is not much better.

The data shows a clear pattern: each step up in resolution reduces FPS by roughly 34-35% from 1080p to 1440p, and then by 44-45% from 1440p to 4K, across all settings. This consistent scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s performance is sufficient to maintain high frame rates at 1080p Low (168 FPS) and even at 1440p Low (111 FPS). The 4K results, particularly at Medium and above, suggest that this combo is not suited for 4K gaming in Fivem, and users should stick to 1080p or 1440p for the best experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Fivem is 1802 out of 3005 tested combinations, placing it in the 60th percentile of all tested systems. This rank is lower than what the individual component benchmarks might suggest, given that the CPU ranks in the 94th percentile and the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile. The discrepancy indicates that the combination of these specific components does not scale as well in Fivem as it does in synthetic benchmarks, likely due to the GPU being the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon w5-3525, AMD EPYC 4484PX, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX, and Intel Xeon 6515P, all with average scores within 0.7% of the 275HX. The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 7790, AMD Radeon 780M, AMD Radeon Pro 560, and AMD Radeon Pro 460, all with scores within 0.7% of the RTX 4060. These small deltas suggest that swapping the CPU or GPU for a close rival would produce nearly identical results in Fivem.

The rank of 1802 out of 3005 means that there are 1203 combos that perform better in Fivem, and 1801 that perform worse. This places the combo in the lower-middle of the database, which is consistent with the 4K performance being poor and the 1080p performance being good but not exceptional. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM is a significant limitation in Fivem, as the game can use more than 8 GB at high resolutions with high-quality textures, leading to performance degradation.

The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it can achieve frame rates above 80 FPS even at Ultra settings. At 1440p, it is playable but requires settings reductions to maintain 60 FPS or higher. At 4K, it is not recommended, as even Low settings only achieve 61 FPS, which is marginal. The combo’s rank reflects this limited high-resolution capability, and users with 4K displays should consider a more powerful GPU.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 82 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold and provides the best visual quality. For users who prefer higher frame rates, the High preset at 106 FPS offers a good balance, while the Medium preset at 133 FPS with a min/max of 113-153 FPS provides even smoother gameplay. The Low preset at 168 FPS is the fastest but sacrifices visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 70 FPS is the best option for maintaining playable frame rates with reasonable visual quality. The Medium preset at 87 FPS (min 74, max 100) offers a smoother experience but with reduced detail. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS is below 60 FPS and may cause noticeable stuttering, so it is not recommended unless the user prioritizes visuals over smoothness. The Low preset at 111 FPS provides the highest frame rate but with minimal graphical settings.

At 3840x2160, none of the presets achieve consistently smooth performance. The Low preset at 61 FPS is the only one above 60 FPS, but it is marginal and may dip below in busy scenes. The Medium preset at 48 FPS (min 41, max 56) is below the playable threshold, and the High and Ultra presets at 39 FPS and 30 FPS, respectively, are not recommended for anything other than static screenshots. The data clearly indicates that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combo in Fivem, and users should either lower the resolution to 1440p or accept reduced visual settings.

For the best overall experience, the 1080p High preset at 106 FPS is recommended, as it offers a strong balance between visual quality and frame rate. Users with 1440p displays should choose the 1440p High preset at 70 FPS, while those prioritizing frame rate should select the 1440p Medium preset at 87 FPS. The 1080p Ultra preset at 82 FPS is also a solid choice for maximum visual detail. The data shows that the combo performs best when the GPU is not overloaded, and keeping the resolution at 1080p or 1440p with Medium to High settings ensures the best balance of performance and visual quality.
