Fivem

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i3-12100F sits in a tight performance cluster according to the database. Its average benchmark score of 13,494 is nearly identical to the Intel Core 3 N355 at 13,492, a difference of 0 percent. The Intel Core i5-9500 trails by 0.3 percent with a score of 13,452, while the Intel Core 5 120UL is 0.7 percent ahead at 13,594. The Intel Core i7-1250U rounds out the group at 13,351, which is 1.1 percent slower. In practical terms, any of these four processors would deliver near-identical frame pacing in Fivem, and the choice between them would come down to platform features rather than raw throughput. The i3-12100F ranks in the 68th percentile among all CPUs in the database, meaning roughly a third of tested processors outperform it, but it remains a solid mid-pack option for this title.

On the graphics side, the AMD Radeon RX 570 posts an average benchmark score of 28,766, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6800M at 28,874, which is 0.4 percent faster, a margin well within run-to-run variance. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28,580, sitting 0.7 percent behind. The AMD Radeon RX 470 is 0.8 percent ahead at 28,996, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 comes in 1.2 percent slower at 28,421. For Fivem specifically, the RX 570's performance envelope is essentially interchangeable with these four cards. The RX 470 is particularly notable as a near-twin, given it shares the same Polaris architecture generation and similar memory configuration. Users upgrading from or considering any of these alternatives should expect no meaningful difference in achievable frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data for this combo reveals how workload shifts between the CPU and GPU as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the i3-12100F has enough headroom to feed the RX 570 across most presets. The gap between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p spans from 77.7 FPS down to 39.6 FPS, a range of 38.1 FPS, which indicates the GPU is the primary limiter as settings climb. However, the CPU still matters: the 4-core, 8-thread design with a 4.30 GHz boost clock keeps minimum frame delivery stable even when the GPU is saturated.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU becomes more dominant. Low settings produce 50.8 FPS, Medium drops to 40.4 FPS, High falls to 32.1 FPS, and Ultra lands at 28 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p is a 22.8 FPS drop, proportionally similar to 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower across the board. This suggests the RX 570's 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 5.095 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput are the binding constraints at this resolution. The CPU's workload does not increase meaningfully with resolution, so the frame rate decline is attributable to the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the bottleneck. Low settings yield 28.8 FPS, Medium drops to 20.3 FPS, High manages 18.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 16.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is only 12.4 FPS, a much narrower spread than at lower resolutions. This compression indicates that even the Low preset at 4K exceeds what the RX 570 can comfortably render, and the i3-12100F's role in the pipeline is reduced to feeding frames that the GPU simply cannot produce fast enough. The CPU's single-thread score of 893 in 3DMark and 1,674 in Cinebench R23 are more than adequate for this scenario; the data shows no evidence of CPU-induced stalling at any resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing at 3,496 out of 3,707 tested combinations for Fivem. That places it in the bottom 5.7 percent of all tested combos, which is a stark positioning given the individual components sit at the 68th and 74th percentiles respectively. The discrepancy highlights how demanding Fivem is on the complete system rather than on either component in isolation. A CPU that ranks above two-thirds of all processors and a GPU that ranks above three-quarters of all GPUs still combine to produce a system that struggles to reach playable frame rates at higher settings.

The rank of 3,496 reflects the measured FPS data across all resolutions and presets, not just the best case. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 77.7 FPS, which is comfortably playable, but the weighted average across the full test matrix drags the ranking down. The 4K results, which range from 16.4 to 28.8 FPS, are particularly damaging to the overall standing. Users considering this combo should understand that its rank is heavily influenced by the high-resolution results, and that its 1080p performance is far more competitive than the aggregate rank suggests.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Fivem depends entirely on the target resolution and settings. According to the verdict data, the playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the combo clears that bar at only one resolution. At 1920x1080, both Low and Medium presets are playable, with Medium being the best playable setting at 63.9 FPS average. Low runs at 77.7 FPS, providing additional headroom. High at 1080p falls to 47 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra drops to 39.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 50.8 FPS, followed by Medium at 40.4 FPS, High at 32.1 FPS, and Ultra at 28 FPS. None of these are listed as playable in the verdict data. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse: Low produces 28.8 FPS, Medium 20.3 FPS, High 18.8 FPS, and Ultra 16.4 FPS. The verdict data lists no playable settings at either 1440p or 4K.

The practical answer is yes, this PC can run Fivem, but only at 1080p and only with settings capped at Medium or below. Players who insist on High or Ultra quality will need to either drop to a lower resolution or accept frame rates below the 60 FPS threshold. The 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on the RX 570 is also a consideration for texture-heavy multiplayer scenarios, though the measured data does not isolate VRAM capacity as a separate factor.

FAQ

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, which achieves an average of 63.9 FPS. Low settings run at 77.7 FPS, offering additional margin for busy multiplayer scenes. High and Ultra both fall below the threshold at 47 FPS and 39.6 FPS respectively, so they are not recommended for a consistent 60 FPS experience.

At 2560x1440, there is no preset that meets the 60 FPS threshold. The closest is Low at 50.8 FPS, which is 9.2 FPS short of playable. Medium, High, and Ultra produce 40.4, 32.1, and 28 FPS respectively. Players at this resolution must either accept sub-60 frame rates or lower the resolution to 1080p.

At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. Low is the best case at 28.8 FPS, with Medium at 20.3, High at 18.8, and Ultra at 16.4. This resolution is effectively out of reach for this hardware combination in Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data from the database is presented below, organized by resolution and settings preset.

At 3840x2160, the RX 570 and i3-12100F combination produces the following averages: Low settings deliver 28.8 FPS, Medium delivers 20.3 FPS, High delivers 18.8 FPS, and Ultra delivers 16.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 12.4 FPS, and even the best case falls far short of the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, Low settings achieve 50.8 FPS, Medium achieves 40.4 FPS, High achieves 32.1 FPS, and Ultra achieves 28 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a 10.4 FPS drop, while the step from High to Ultra is only 4.1 FPS, showing diminishing returns as the GPU approaches its rendering limits.

At 1920x1080, Low settings produce 77.7 FPS, Medium produces 63.9 FPS, High produces 47 FPS, and Ultra produces 39.6 FPS. The 1080p results show the widest relative spread of any resolution, with Low being 38.1 FPS faster than Ultra. This is the only resolution where the combo is genuinely playable, with two presets clearing the 60 FPS threshold.

No minFPS or maxFPS values were recorded in the measured data, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS for each configuration. The absence of recorded minimum frame data means that frame pacing consistency cannot be assessed directly from the database measurements. However, the average values are consistent across the settings ladder at each resolution, with no anomalous outliers that would suggest thermal throttling or driver-level instability.
