Fivem

Fivem on the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H and AMD Radeon 8060S combination demonstrates a clear performance hierarchy that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The data indicates this pairing is capable of delivering smooth gameplay at 1080p across all presets but becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution climbs to 4K, where high-end settings push the frame rate below playable thresholds. This analysis breaks down the measured results, the roles of the CPU and GPU, and provides actionable settings guidance based solely on the provided benchmark data.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve when moving from 1920x1080 up to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 111 FPS at 1080p to 73 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 40 FPS at 4K. This represents a 64% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K at the High preset, indicating that the rendering load at higher resolutions heavily taxes the AMD Radeon 8060S.

The scaling pattern across all settings shows that 4K resolution is the breaking point for this hardware combination. At Low settings, the system manages 175 FPS at 1080p, 115 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 4K. While the 4K Low result is playable, the jump from 1440p to 4K costs 51 FPS — a 44% drop. This disproportionate loss at 4K compared to the 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p suggests that the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor at 3840x2160.

The data strongly indicates that 1440p is the sweet spot for this game on this hardware. At Medium settings, the system delivers 91 FPS at 1440p with a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS, which provides a fluid experience without the severe penalties seen at 4K. The 4K Ultra preset, which yields only 31 FPS average, demonstrates that this resolution/settings combination is not viable for competitive or immersive play, as the frame rate falls well below the 40 FPS baseline seen even at High settings.

Comparing the resolution scaling between presets, the relative performance gap narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, Ultra runs at 49% of Low's frame rate (86 FPS vs 175 FPS). At 1440p, that ratio improves to 49% as well (56 FPS vs 115 FPS). However, at 4K, Ultra runs at just 48% of Low (31 FPS vs 64 FPS), showing that the Ultra preset's additional graphical demands disproportionately impact the GPU at higher resolutions. This pattern confirms that the Radeon 8060S is the primary bottleneck at 4K, while at 1080p and 1440p the frame rate differences between presets reflect a more balanced workload distribution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon 8060S, built on the Strix Halo chip with RDNA 3.5 architecture, plays the dominant role in determining Fivem's performance at higher resolutions. The GPU's benchmark scores position it competitively, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2162 and an average benchmark score of 55757, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, scores 55698 — a mere 0.1% difference — indicating that the 8060S performs nearly identically to that discrete card in synthetic workloads.

The GPU's memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning it relies on the system's main memory rather than dedicated VRAM. This shared memory approach, combined with a system-dependent bandwidth, means the GPU's performance can vary based on the CPU's memory subsystem. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H supports LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and 153.6 GB/s bandwidth, which provides the data throughput the GPU needs, but this shared architecture likely contributes to the steep performance drop at 4K where memory bandwidth demands increase substantially.

Clock speeds for the 8060S are notable: a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The wide gap between base and boost suggests the GPU can ramp up significantly under load, but thermal and power constraints (55 W TDP) may limit sustained boost behavior in longer gaming sessions. The GPU's pixel rate of 185.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 464.0 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for Fivem's scenes, though the 14.85 TFLOPS FP32 compute is modest compared to what high-refresh 4K gaming would require.

The data shows the GPU's percentile ranking (87th) matches the CPU's (87th), indicating a well-balanced pairing. However, the game's measured results at 4K Ultra (31 FPS) versus 4K Low (64 FPS) — a 33 FPS difference — highlights that the GPU's shading units (2560) and ROPs (64) are the limiting factor when pushing higher pixel counts. The GPU's OpenCL score of 84626 and Vulkan score of 80483 suggest it handles modern APIs well, which aligns with Fivem's DirectX 12 Ultimate support.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H provides substantial processing power that ensures the CPU rarely becomes the bottleneck in Fivem, especially at lower resolutions. With 16 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 2.00 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, this Panther Lake architecture processor (built on a 3 nm process) delivers strong multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28221 and single-core score of 3984 demonstrate capabilities that exceed the demands of most multiplayer game servers.

The CPU's benchmark performance places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40518. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core 7 253PE, scores 40557 — just 0.1% higher — showing that the Ultra X7 368H sits at the top of its performance class. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, another close rival, scores 40431, which is 0.2% lower, confirming the Intel chip's competitive standing. These scores suggest the CPU has ample headroom for Fivem's server-side and client-side processing needs.

The CPU's cache hierarchy — 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3 — provides fast access to frequently used data, which is crucial for the real-time simulation in multiplayer environments. The PassMark multi-thread score of 32956 and single-thread score of 4005 indicate that both heavily-threaded and lightly-threaded workloads are handled efficiently. This is important because Fivem's performance often depends on single-thread performance for game logic while benefiting from multi-threading for asset streaming.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more evident. The measured 175 FPS at Low settings and 111 FPS at High settings show that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to maintain high frame rates. The fact that 1080p Ultra still achieves 86 FPS suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor at this resolution, as the frame rate differences between presets are primarily due to GPU workload. However, the CPU's 25 W TDP and 16-thread configuration (no hyperthreading) mean it must balance power efficiency with performance, which could affect sustained boost clocks in extended sessions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience per the measured data, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 offers the optimal balance of visual quality and performance. This combination achieves 91 FPS average with a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS, providing a smooth, consistent experience that avoids the frame rate dips seen at higher settings. The Medium preset at 1080p also performs well at 138 FPS average (118 min, 159 max), but the visual upgrade at 1440p justifies the 47 FPS cost.

At 1080p, High settings (111 FPS) provide a better experience than Ultra (86 FPS) because the 25 FPS difference is more noticeable than the graphical improvements Ultra offers. For users prioritizing frame rate, 1080p Low at 175 FPS is the fastest option, but the visual compromise is significant. At 1440p, Low (115 FPS) and High (73 FPS) are both viable, but Medium (91 FPS) sits comfortably between them for most players.

The 4K resolution should be avoided for competitive play. Low settings at 64 FPS is the only playable option, while Medium (50 FPS), High (40 FPS), and Ultra (31 FPS) all fall below the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth. If 4K is mandatory, the data suggests accepting Low settings and potential frame rate variability, as the system's shared memory configuration limits its ability to handle higher graphics loads at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance across all presets. Low settings achieve 175 FPS average, Medium reaches 138 FPS (with a minimum of 118 and maximum of 159), High runs at 111 FPS, and Ultra drops to 86 FPS. The 89 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p shows that the GPU's workload varies significantly with graphical fidelity, but even the lowest result remains well above playable thresholds.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down proportionally. Low settings produce 115 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS (77 min, 105 max), High delivers 73 FPS, and Ultra falls to 56 FPS. The 59 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at this resolution indicates that the GPU is beginning to feel the pressure of higher pixel counts, though all presets remain playable.

At 3840x2160, performance degrades significantly. Low settings manage 64 FPS, Medium drops to 50 FPS (43 min, 58 max), High falls to 40 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 31 FPS. The 33 FPS gap between Low and Ultra at 4K highlights the GPU's limitations at this resolution. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently provides the most stable frame times, as evidenced by the minimum and maximum values recorded, making it the recommended choice for consistent gameplay.
