Fivem

Fivem, a multiplayer modification platform built on Grand Theft Auto V, presents a unique performance landscape where server-side scripts and player density often dictate framerates as much as the hardware itself. This analysis examines the measured performance of the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile across three resolutions and four quality presets. The data offers a clear view of how this mobile combo handles the game's variable loads, with results that are strong in absolute terms but nuanced in their scaling behavior.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable yet informative pattern as resolution increases, shifting the bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU. At 1080p, the combination of the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H and RTX 4070 Mobile demonstrates formidable throughput, with the Low preset achieving an average of 189 FPS. This high frame rate at a lower resolution suggests that the CPU is doing the heavy lifting to feed the GPU, a common scenario in Fivem where simulation and script processing can become a limiting factor. Moving to 1440p, the same Low preset produces 124 FPS, while at 4K it drops to 69 FPS. This scaling curve—a drop of 65 FPS from 1080p to 1440p, then 55 FPS from 1440p to 4K—indicates that the GPU begins to take on more responsibility at higher pixel counts, but the CPU remains a constant partner in determining the final output.

The performance delta between 1080p and 4K is substantial across all settings. For High settings, the average FPS falls from 119 at 1080p to 78 at 1440p, and further to 44 at 4K. This represents a roughly 63% reduction in average FPS from the lowest tested resolution to the highest. The Ultra preset shows a similar trend, dropping from 92 FPS at 1080p to 61 FPS at 1440p and finally to 34 FPS at 4K. These numbers suggest that while the RTX 4070 Mobile is capable, 4K Ultra is a demanding target for this hardware in Fivem, likely due to the game's engine and the extra overhead of multiplayer rendering.

Interestingly, the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (189 FPS) and Ultra (92 FPS) is 97 FPS. At 4K, the difference is only 35 FPS, with Low at 69 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS. This compression of performance spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the primary constraint. When the GPU is saturated at 4K, the impact of graphical preset changes is muted relative to the resolution tax. Conversely, at 1080p, the CPU has more headroom to push higher framerates, making the GPU's workload less of a limiting factor and amplifying the effect of settings changes.

The data also shows that 1440p offers a balanced middle ground. With High settings delivering 78 FPS and Medium at 98 FPS, this resolution appears to be the sweet spot for this combo, providing a substantial visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining framerates that are smooth for most gameplay scenarios. The 4K results, while playable on Low and Medium, suggest that users prioritizing high refresh rates will find more satisfaction at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Analyzing the measured rows, the Medium preset emerges as the most balanced choice for this hardware across all resolutions, offering a compelling compromise between visual fidelity and performance. At 1080p, Medium delivers 149 FPS with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 171 FPS. This level of performance guarantees a consistently smooth experience on high-refresh-rate displays, with the minimum frame rate staying well above the 60 FPS threshold. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs 40 FPS on average but likely brings significant visual improvements in texture quality and effects.

At 1440p, Medium continues to impress with an average of 98 FPS, a minimum of 83 FPS, and a maximum of 113 FPS. This is a highly playable range, especially considering the increased pixel count. The 83 FPS minimum is particularly notable as it suggests that even in demanding multiplayer scenarios, the framerate is unlikely to dip into uncomfortable territory. For users with 1440p monitors, Medium is clearly the recommended preset, as it nearly doubles the average FPS of the Ultra preset (61 FPS) while providing a better visual experience than Low (124 FPS).

At 4K, Medium drops to 54 FPS with a minimum of 46 FPS and a maximum of 63 FPS. While this is not ideal for competitive play, it is playable for a slower-paced experience. The minimum of 46 FPS indicates potential stutters in busy areas, but the overall average is acceptable for a cinematic single-player or relaxed multiplayer session. High settings at 4K yield 44 FPS, which starts to feel less fluid, while Ultra at 34 FPS is likely too demanding for smooth gameplay.

Given these results, the recommendation hierarchy is clear. For 1080p, users can comfortably use High or Ultra for maximum visual quality, with High at 119 FPS offering a good balance and Ultra at 92 FPS still providing a high frame rate. For 1440p, Medium is the optimal choice, as it maintains a high average FPS and a strong minimum FPS. For 4K, Medium is the highest preset that remains consistently playable, with Low being the alternative for users seeking higher framerates around 69 FPS. The Ultra preset is only viable at 1080p for this specific combination of CPU and GPU in Fivem.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile is a key component in this configuration, and its specifications provide context for the measured performance. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. In Fivem, which is often sensitive to memory capacity and bandwidth when handling high-resolution textures and multiple player models, this 8 GB allocation is sufficient for the tested settings, though it could become a limiting factor in heavily modded servers.

The GPU's clock speeds are listed with a base of 1395 MHz and a boost of 1695 MHz. The boost clock is what matters most for sustained gaming performance, and the data suggests it is sufficient to drive the framerates seen in the measured results. The RTX 4070 Mobile's performance percentile of 73 places it above average among all GPUs, which is consistent with its strong showing in Fivem, particularly at 1080p and 1440p. Its average benchmark score of 27435 is in line with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, which has a delta of 0%, and is only slightly behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which has a delta of -0.5%.

The GPU's architectural features, such as its 4608 shading units and 144 tensor cores, contribute to its overall compute capability. However, in Fivem, the direct impact of these features is less pronounced than the raw rasterization performance. The measured data shows that the RTX 4070 Mobile handles the game's demands well up to 1440p High, but the 4K results indicate that its memory bandwidth and compute resources are stretched thin at that resolution. The transition from 1440p Medium (98 FPS) to 4K Medium (54 FPS) represents a 44 FPS drop, highlighting the significant cost of pixel pushing on this mobile GPU.
