Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination is a mid-range pairing that delivers a clear performance picture for Fivem. The data shows this combo ranks at 2516 out of 3707 tested configurations, placing it in the upper half of results for this specific game. This pairing is not a top-tier contender, but its rank reveals a system that is more than capable of delivering smooth gameplay at standard resolutions, with its limits becoming apparent only when pushing to 4K. The benchmark results indicate a balanced setup where the GPU carries the primary load, yet the quad-core CPU holds its ground effectively across most settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 2516 out of 3707 places this Intel and AMD pairing in the 68th percentile of all tested systems for Fivem. This is a solidly mid-pack result, meaning that while it is not among the elite performers, it outperforms a majority of other hardware combinations. The ranking aligns with the individual component standings: the CPU sits at the 68th percentile among all processors, and the GPU is at the 57th percentile among all graphics cards. The system's overall standing is effectively a blend of these two figures, suggesting a well-matched pair where neither part is a significant bottleneck in most scenarios.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals shows how close the mid-range field is. The Core i3-12100F has an average benchmark score of 13494, which places it just 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i5-9500 and a mere 0% delta compared to the Intel Core 3 N355. It is also 1.1% faster than the Intel Core i7-1250U, but trails the Intel Core 5 120UL by -0.7%. These tiny margins indicate that the i3-12100F is firmly in the middle of a tightly packed group of competitive processors, where the differences in synthetic scores are negligible for real-world gaming performance.

On the GPU side, the Radeon RX 7600's average benchmark score of 15171 positions it nearly identically to its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, with a delta of -0.2%. It is 0.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 560X and 0.7% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti, while lagging the AMD Radeon 680M by -0.7%. This grouping of scores within a 1.4% band demonstrates that the RX 7600 is a standard performer in its class, offering no significant surprises relative to its direct competition.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern regarding which component dominates in Fivem. Across all resolutions, the scaling from Low to Ultra settings shows the GPU is the primary constraint. At 1920x1080, the frame rate drops from 162.4 FPS on Low to 77.5 FPS on Ultra, a reduction of over half. This steep decline with increased graphical load is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU provides a high enough baseline that the graphics card's workload becomes the deciding factor.

This pattern persists at 2560x1440, where the spread is from 104.9 FPS on Low down to 51.9 FPS on Ultra. The consistent drop of roughly 20-30 FPS for each step up in preset further confirms that graphical settings, and therefore GPU load, are the main performance lever. The CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough data, and the i3-12100F's 4 cores and 8 threads with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz appear sufficient for this task at these settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes even more dominant. The Ultra preset yields a demanding 30.2 FPS, while even Low settings only reach 57.3 FPS. The resolution jump from 1440p to 4K increases pixel count dramatically, and the RX 7600 with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus begins to struggle. The data shows that at 4K, the GPU's compute resources are exhausted before the CPU's capabilities are even tested. The frame rate differences between presets are smaller in absolute terms at 4K, but the percentage drop between Low and Ultra is significant, reinforcing that the GPU is the sole limiting factor here.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its strength. The Low preset delivers an average of 162.4 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates a massive headroom for competitive play. Medium settings average 126.6 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. High settings produce 100.1 FPS, a robust result for a balanced visual experience. The Ultra preset, while the most demanding, still manages an average of 77.5 FPS, confirming that 1080p is entirely playable across all quality levels.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but the ceiling is lower. Low settings average 104.9 FPS, which is excellent for a higher-resolution display. Medium settings yield 82.4 FPS, and High settings average 66 FPS. These three presets all clear the playable 60 FPS mark. The Ultra preset falls short, averaging 51.9 FPS, which dips below the threshold and indicates that the most demanding settings are not viable at this resolution for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates. The High preset averages only 39.7 FPS, and Medium settings are slightly better at 45 FPS. Low settings are the only preset that comes close, averaging 57.3 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset is the weakest, with an average of 30.2 FPS. The benchmark data lacks min and max FPS values, leaving the average as the sole metric, but the averages clearly indicate that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combo.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear: this PC can run Fivem, but its playability depends entirely on the chosen resolution and preset. The data shows that at 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, with averages ranging from 77.5 FPS to 162.4 FPS. The best settings at this resolution are Ultra, which still maintains an average of 77.5 FPS, well above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system is partially playable. The High, Medium, and Low presets all exceed the 60 FPS mark, with the High preset averaging 66 FPS as the best playable option. The Ultra preset, however, drops to 51.9 FPS, making it unsuitable for a smooth experience. For 3840x2160, the verdict is that no preset achieves the 60 FPS target. The closest is Low at 57.3 FPS, which is technically under the threshold, so the system is not recommended for 4K gaming. In summary, this combo is a solid 1080p performer and a capable 1440p option, but it falls short at 4K.
