Fivem

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 sits at rank 1579 out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 47th percentile of all system configurations. This is a middling position for a hardware pairing that on paper looks substantially more potent, and the data suggests Fivem's unique multiplayer workload creates a bottleneck profile that neither component fully overcomes. The rank indicates that while this combo outperforms roughly half of all tested systems, a significant number of lower-tier configurations achieve better results in this specific title, which points to the game's unusual sensitivity to factors beyond raw compute power.

The CPU's overall percentile rank of 94 places it among the top 6% of all processors, while the GPU's 81st percentile rank puts it in the top 19% of graphics cards. Yet the combined system only manages a mid-pack result in Fivem, which is a striking disconnect. The nearest CPU rivals underscore the processor's raw strength: the Intel Xeon w5-3525 trails by just 0.3%, the AMD EPYC 4484PX is 0.5% behind, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX sits 0.6% lower, while the Intel Xeon 6515P is 0.7% ahead. These are workstation-class chips, suggesting the 275HX delivers server-level compute in a mobile package. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals show tight clustering: the NVIDIA Tesla P4 is 0.1% ahead, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is 0.4% ahead, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% ahead, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 trails by 1.3%.

The benchmark data reveals why the combo rank doesn't match the component-level excellence. Fivem is a multiplayer modification platform built on an older game engine, and the measured FPS figures show that even at 1080p with Low settings, the system delivers 189 FPS, which is respectable but not exceptional for hardware of this caliber. The gap between the CPU's top-tier benchmark scores and the game's actual frame delivery suggests that Fivem's server-side simulation and network code impose limits that no amount of local compute can overcome. The rank of 1579 out of 3005 is a reminder that in multiplayer-heavy titles, the weakest link is often the game's own architecture, not the hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU's base clock runs at 1920 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, while memory operates at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed. These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute rated at 29.15 TFLOPS. The 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs provide ample geometry and pixel processing capacity, while 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores offer hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads, though Fivem's engine likely doesn't utilize these features extensively.

The GPU's role in Fivem becomes clearer when examining the measured FPS across resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the card manages only 34 FPS, which drops to 44 FPS at High settings and 54 FPS at Medium, before jumping to 69 FPS at Low. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is not the limiting factor here; rather, the GPU's raw rasterization throughput is being challenged by the game's draw calls and shader complexity at higher presets. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth proves sufficient even at 4K, as evidenced by the fact that dropping from Ultra to Low at 4K produces a 35 FPS improvement (from 34 to 69 FPS), which indicates the bottleneck shifts from memory bandwidth to shader execution as settings increase.

At 1440p, the RTX 4070 shows more comfortable headroom: 61 FPS at Ultra, 78 FPS at High, 98 FPS at Medium, and 124 FPS at Low. The scaling from 4K to 1440p at the same settings shows roughly a 1.77x performance uplift at Ultra (34 to 61 FPS), which is close to the pixel count difference of 2.25x, indicating the GPU is still the primary constraint at these resolutions. The passmark G3D score of 26927 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 place this GPU in the 81st percentile overall, but Fivem's measured results show it performing below what those synthetic benchmarks would predict, likely due to the game's CPU-bound nature in multiplayer scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 189 FPS, while Medium settings yield 149 FPS with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS. High settings average 119 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 92 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 97 FPS, indicating that the settings preset has a substantial impact on performance at this resolution. The Medium preset's min-max range of 127-171 FPS shows a 44 FPS variance, which suggests frame pacing consistency is moderate at this level.

At 2560x1440, performance scales predictably. Low settings average 124 FPS, Medium settings average 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS, High settings average 78 FPS, and Ultra settings average 61 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 63 FPS, narrower than at 1080p. The Medium preset's range of 83-113 FPS (30 FPS variance) indicates tighter frame delivery compared to 1080p, possibly because the GPU is more consistently utilized at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly stressed. Low settings average 69 FPS, Medium settings average 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS, High settings average 44 FPS, and Ultra settings average 34 FPS. The Low-to-Ultra delta at 4K is 35 FPS, the smallest absolute difference across resolutions. This narrowing gap suggests that at 4K, even Low settings demand significant GPU resources, and the Ultra preset pushes the card to its limits. The Medium preset's 46-63 FPS range (17 FPS variance) is the tightest observed across all resolution-settings combinations, indicating that at 4K Medium, the system reaches a stable equilibrium where neither component is excessively bottlenecked.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to Medium settings as the most balanced choice across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 149 FPS with a minimum of 127 FPS, which exceeds the 144Hz refresh rate common on gaming monitors while maintaining a 44 FPS safety margin above the minimum. At 1440p, Medium produces 98 FPS with an 83 FPS minimum, which is playable on 60Hz displays and provides headroom for 100Hz panels. At 4K, Medium yields 54 FPS with a 46 FPS minimum, which is acceptable for slower-paced multiplayer interaction, though competitive players may prefer Low.

High settings present an alternative for users prioritizing visual fidelity over maximum frame rates. At 1080p, High averages 119 FPS, which is still smooth for most displays. At 1440p, High drops to 78 FPS, which is playable but noticeably less fluid than Medium. At 4K, High falls to 44 FPS, which is borderline for comfortable gameplay. Ultra settings only make sense at 1080p, where 92 FPS remains playable, but the 34 FPS result at 4K Ultra is the only configuration that dips below 40 FPS, making it unsuitable for this resolution.

Low settings are viable for competitive play at 1080p (189 FPS) and 1440p (124 FPS), but at 4K, the 69 FPS result doesn't justify the visual compromise. The Medium preset at 1440p offers the best balance of frame rate stability and visual quality, with the 83 FPS minimum ensuring minimal stutter during intense multiplayer moments. For users with 144Hz displays at 1080p, Medium is the recommended starting point, with the option to raise to High if the 119 FPS average proves sufficient for their sensitivity to visual quality.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX is a 24-core, 24-thread processor based on Arrow Lake architecture, built on TSMC's 3 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a TDP of 55W. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR5 with dual-channel configuration, providing 102.4 GB/s of bandwidth. The processor's benchmark scores are impressive: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 35589, single-core 2204, and Geekbench multicore 20795, while PassMark multithread scores 55759.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is complex due to the game's multiplayer architecture. The 24 cores provide substantial parallel processing capability, but Fivem's engine likely doesn't scale efficiently beyond a handful of threads. The PassMark physics score of 3338 and data compression score of 608381 indicate strong computational throughput, yet the measured FPS results at 1080p Low (189 FPS) suggest the game's single-threaded or lightly-threaded nature limits utilization of the CPU's full potential. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2204 is strong, which helps in scenarios where Fivem's simulation thread becomes the bottleneck.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are all workstation or server-class processors, with the Intel Xeon w5-3525 trailing by 0.3%, AMD EPYC 4484PX by 0.5%, AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5955WX by 0.6%, and Intel Xeon 6515P leading by 0.7%. These comparisons highlight the 275HX's exceptional multi-core performance, yet in Fivem, this advantage doesn't translate to proportional frame rate gains. The data implies that Fivem's performance ceiling is set by factors other than raw CPU compute, such as network synchronization and server tick rates, which explains why this top-tier processor doesn't boost the combo rank above the median.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the average FPS decreases from 189 at 1080p to 124 at 1440p and 69 at 4K. This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The absolute FPS loss per resolution step (65 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, 55 FPS from 1440p to 4K) suggests the GPU becomes progressively more limiting as resolution increases, but the CPU still contributes to the frame rate at all resolutions.

At Medium settings, the scaling shows 149 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 34% (1080p to 1440p) and 45% (1440p to 4K), nearly identical to Low settings. This consistency indicates that the GPU's workload scaling with resolution is predictable regardless of the settings preset. The High settings show 119 FPS at 1080p, 78 FPS at 1440p, and 44 FPS at 4K, with drops of 34% and 44% respectively. Ultra settings follow the same pattern: 92 FPS at 1080p, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 34 FPS at 4K, representing 34% and 44% drops.

The uniform scaling pattern across all settings presets is revealing. Since the percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is consistently around 64-65% (from 189 to 69 FPS at Low, 119 to 44 FPS at High), the bottleneck is primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions. However, the fact that the CPU's strong benchmark scores don't push 1080p frame rates higher (189 FPS at Low is good but not exceptional for this hardware) suggests that at 1080p, the game's engine or network layer imposes a ceiling. The resolution scaling analysis indicates that this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where the GPU still delivers above 60 FPS at Ultra settings and the CPU's strength prevents any noticeable stutter in multiplayer scenarios.
