Fivem

# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core Ultra X7 368H + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

This combo delivers a robust Fivem experience, with the measured data showing a clear hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the system easily exceeds 100 FPS at every setting, while 4K Ultra remains the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS. The pairing ranks 941st out of 3005 tested combos for this game, placing it in the upper third of all configurations. The RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom, while the 16-core Panther Lake CPU with a 5.00 GHz boost clock keeps frame pacing consistent in this multiplayer title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data reveals a clear sweet spot: Medium settings across all resolutions deliver the most balanced experience. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 189 FPS average with a minimum of 160 FPS and a maximum of 217 FPS. This represents a massive jump from High (151 FPS average) while only sacrificing a modest amount of visual fidelity. The Medium preset also provides the only complete FPS range data in the entire test suite, indicating it is the most stable configuration.

For 1440p users, Medium again stands out. The 124 FPS average with 106 FPS minimum and 143 FPS maximum shows consistent performance that comfortably exceeds 100 FPS. This is particularly important for competitive multiplayer scenarios where frame drops can be costly. The jump from High (99 FPS) to Medium (124 FPS) is substantial—a 25 FPS improvement that translates to smoother camera movement and more responsive aiming.

At 4K, the recommendation shifts. Medium delivers 69 FPS average with a 59 FPS minimum and 79 FPS maximum. While this is playable, the 59 FPS floor means occasional dips below 60 FPS are possible. High settings at 4K produce 55 FPS average, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The data suggests 4K Medium is the maximum viable preset for this combo, with Ultra (43 FPS) being too demanding for consistent multiplayer performance.

The Low preset offers the highest FPS at every resolution—239 FPS at 1080p, 157 FPS at 1440p, and 87 FPS at 4K—but the visual trade-offs in a game like Fivem, where player visibility and environmental detail matter, are likely too severe for most users. The scaling pattern shows that Medium provides roughly 79% of Low's performance at 1080p (189 vs 239 FPS), while delivering significantly better image quality. For the best overall experience, Medium is the clear choice across all three resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and the measured FPS data reflects its capabilities. With a 2205 MHz base clock and 2505 MHz boost clock, the Ada Lovelace GPU (AD103 chip) delivers 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is particularly relevant for Fivem's detailed open-world environments that require large texture streaming.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its position. With a PassMark G3D score of 34457 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 263779, the RTX 4080 sits at the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209 in the aggregate benchmark—just 0.1% higher—indicating that this GPU is essentially at parity with the SUPER variant. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, at 54828, is 1.1% ahead, while the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698) and Radeon 8060S (55757) are 2.6% and 2.7% ahead respectively. This places the RTX 4080 in a strong competitive position.

In Fivem specifically, the GPU's 16 GB VRAM capacity is a significant asset. The game's multiplayer nature means multiple player models, vehicles, and world assets must be held in memory simultaneously. With 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, the RTX 4080 has the raw throughput to handle these demands. The 280.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 761.5 GTexel/s texture rate explain why the GPU maintains high FPS even at 1440p and 4K resolutions.

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K at each setting reveals the GPU's scaling behavior. At Medium, the FPS drops from 189 at 1080p to 124 at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 69 at 4K (a 44% further reduction). This suggests that while the GPU is powerful, 4K resolution still presents a significant challenge, particularly at higher presets where the pixel count drives the workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 941 out of 3005 tested configurations places it in the upper third of all systems tested for Fivem. This ranking is notable because both individual components sit at high percentiles—the CPU at 87th and the GPU at 86th—yet the combo's performance relative to other pairings is somewhat lower. This discrepancy suggests that Fivem's performance is influenced by factors beyond raw hardware capability, such as server-side performance, network latency, and the game's engine optimization.

In the context of the database, this ranking means that approximately 2064 tested combos perform worse in Fivem, while 940 perform better. The data indicates that many other configurations—potentially those with higher-end desktop CPUs or GPUs with different memory configurations—can achieve better results. The RTX 4080's 16 GB VRAM, while generous, may not be as critical for Fivem as it would be for other titles with larger texture sets.

The ranking also reflects the balanced nature of this combo. Neither component is a bottleneck at most settings, based on the measured FPS data. At 1080p Low, the 239 FPS average suggests the CPU might be the limiting factor, as the GPU could likely push higher frame rates. Conversely, at 4K Ultra, the 43 FPS average indicates the GPU is overwhelmed. The rank of 941 suggests that other combos have found a better equilibrium between these two extremes for Fivem's specific workload.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H is a 16-core, 16-thread processor from the Panther Lake architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process. With a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, this mobile CPU is designed for high-performance laptops. The 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 2.5 MB L2 per core provide ample on-chip storage for frequently accessed data, which is crucial for Fivem's multiplayer logic.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU demonstrates strong performance. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 28221 and single-core score of 3984 are both impressive for a mobile chip. The PassMark multithread score of 32956 and single-thread score of 4005 further confirm its capabilities. The CPU's aggregate benchmark score of 40518 places it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core 7 253PE (40557, 0.1% higher) and AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (40431, 0.2% lower).

For Fivem, the CPU's role is primarily in managing game logic, physics, and network communication in multiplayer sessions. The 16 threads allow for parallel processing of player positions, vehicle states, and world events. The high boost clock of 5.00 GHz ensures that single-threaded tasks, such as rendering calls and input processing, are executed with minimal latency. The PassMark physics score of 2857 and data compression score of 312927 indicate strong computational throughput for these types of workloads.

The measured FPS data suggests the CPU can keep pace with the GPU at most settings. At 1080p Low, the 239 FPS average is likely approaching the CPU's limit for Fivem's game logic, as the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution and preset. The fact that the FPS scales consistently from Low to Ultra (239 to 117 FPS at 1080p) indicates that the CPU is not a hard bottleneck, but rather the GPU becomes the limiting factor as settings increase.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset provides a comprehensive view of this combo's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance. The Low preset produces 239 FPS average, while Medium yields 189 FPS (with 160 FPS minimum and 217 FPS maximum). High settings achieve 151 FPS, and Ultra drops to 117 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 51% performance reduction, with the most significant drop occurring between Medium and High (a 20% reduction from 189 to 151 FPS).

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows predictable scaling. Low produces 157 FPS, Medium delivers 124 FPS (106 minimum, 143 maximum), High achieves 99 FPS, and Ultra drops to 77 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 34% at Low (239 to 157 FPS) to 34% at Medium (189 to 124 FPS), with High and Ultra showing 34% and 34% reductions respectively. This consistent percentage indicates resolution scaling is uniform across presets.

At 3840x2160, the system faces its greatest challenge. Low produces 87 FPS, Medium delivers 69 FPS (59 minimum, 79 maximum), High achieves 55 FPS, and Ultra drops to 43 FPS. The reduction from 1440p to 4K is more pronounced: Low drops 45% (157 to 87 FPS), Medium drops 44% (124 to 69 FPS), High drops 44% (99 to 55 FPS), and Ultra drops 44% (77 to 43 FPS). This consistent 44-45% reduction suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K.

The only configuration with complete min/max data is Medium at all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the frame range spans 160-217 FPS (a 57 FPS spread). At 1440p Medium, the range is 106-143 FPS (a 37 FPS spread). At 4K Medium, the range is 59-79 FPS (a 20 FPS spread). The tightening range at higher resolutions indicates more consistent frame delivery, likely because the GPU is more consistently saturated.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about this combo's limiting components. At every preset, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is nearly identical in percentage terms, as is the drop from 1440p to 4K. This uniformity suggests that the scaling is primarily driven by pixel count rather than preset complexity.

Breaking down the numbers: at Low, the FPS drops from 239 (1080p) to 157 (1440p) to 87 (4K). This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 45% drop from 1440p to 4K. At Medium, the progression is 189 to 124 to 69, with drops of 34% and 44% respectively. At High, it's 151 to 99 to 55, with drops of 34% and 44%. At Ultra, it's 117 to 77 to 43, with drops of 34% and 44%.

The consistent 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 44% drop from 1440p to 4K across all presets indicates that the GPU is handling the resolution scaling efficiently, with no preset-specific bottlenecks emerging. However, the absolute FPS values at 4K tell a different story. At 4K Ultra, the 43 FPS average is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and even 4K High at 55 FPS is borderline.

The scaling pattern also indicates that the CPU is not the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the FPS drops from 1080p to 1440p to be smaller than from 1440p to 4K, as the CPU load remains relatively constant while GPU load increases. Instead, the drops are consistent, suggesting the GPU is the dominant constraint at all resolutions above 1080p.

At 1080p Low, the 239 FPS average is likely near the CPU's practical limit for Fivem. The fact that the GPU could potentially render more frames at this resolution and preset, but the CPU cannot feed it fast enough, suggests a subtle CPU bottleneck at the lowest settings. This is supported by the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 4005, which, while strong, may not be sufficient for extremely high frame rates in a game with significant multiplayer overhead.

The resolution scaling data implies that for this combo, 1440p is the sweet spot where both components are well-utilized. At 1440p Medium, the 124 FPS average with a 106 FPS minimum provides a smooth experience that leverages the GPU's capabilities without exposing the CPU's limitations. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor, with even Medium settings struggling to maintain 60 FPS consistently.
