Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT delivers a wide range of performance in Fivem, scaling from a highly playable 106.9 FPS average at 1080p Ultra down to a borderline 38.6 FPS at 4K Ultra. Benchmark results show this combination ranks 1545th out of 3707 tested combos in this game, placing it in the upper half of systems while demonstrating that the CPU and GPU are well-matched for most gaming scenarios. The data indicates that Fivem is demanding at higher resolutions, but the system remains versatile enough for competitive and casual play alike.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 218.3 FPS, which is more than triple the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings still provide a very smooth 172.6 FPS average, while High settings drop to 134.7 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 106.9 FPS, leaving substantial headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios or background tasks.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling cost. Low settings yield 145.8 FPS average, which is roughly 33% lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium settings produce 110.3 FPS, High settings reach 88.1 FPS, and Ultra settings remain comfortably above the playable threshold at 70.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is about 51%, indicating that visual quality comes at a measurable performance cost.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings still deliver a playable 78.3 FPS average, and Medium settings barely clear the 60 FPS threshold with a 63.5 FPS average. However, High settings fall to 50 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Ultra settings drop further to 38.6 FPS. The performance cliff between Medium and High at 4K is steep, with a 21.1% reduction in average frame rate, suggesting that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at this resolution.

The data shows no min or max FPS values were recorded, so only average frame rates are available for analysis. Across all resolutions, the trend is consistent: Low settings offer the highest headroom, while Ultra settings at 4K are the only configuration that falls decisively below the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i3-12100F and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence on performance, as evidenced by the relatively modest frame rate drop from Low to Ultra — 218.3 FPS down to 106.9 FPS, which is approximately a 51% reduction. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the GPU is not fully saturated, and the quad-core i3-12100F with its 4 cores and 8 threads must keep up with the high frame rate demands.

At 1440p, the GPU begins to take a larger role. The frame rate scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 51% reduction (145.8 to 70.9 FPS), but the absolute numbers are lower than at 1080p, indicating that the RX 7700 XT is becoming the primary bottleneck. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus width are sufficient for this resolution, but the rendering load increases significantly.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The difference between Low and Ultra is 78.3 FPS versus 38.6 FPS, a 50.7% reduction, but the absolute performance is so low that the CPU’s role is minimized. The RX 7700 XT’s 3456 shading units and 96 ROPs are taxed heavily at 3840x2160, and the data shows that even Medium settings barely hold 60 FPS. The CPU’s 3DMark scores — 4051 in the 16-thread test and 893 in the single-thread test — indicate it is not the limiting factor at 4K, as the GPU cannot push frame rates high enough to expose CPU bottlenecks.

The preset scaling also highlights this dynamic. At 1080p, going from Low to Medium costs 45.7 FPS (218.3 to 172.6), but at 4K the same step costs only 14.8 FPS (78.3 to 63.5). This compression at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU workload dominates, while at lower resolutions the CPU has more room to influence the final frame rate.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 106.9 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. Players seeking maximum frame rates can use Low for 218.3 FPS, but Ultra is the optimal balance.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also achieve playable performance with an average of 70.9 FPS. This is only 10.9 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, so there is less headroom for demanding scenes, but the data confirms that this preset is viable. High settings offer 88.1 FPS for those who prefer more stability.

At 3840x2160, Medium settings are the best choice that stays at or above 60 FPS, with an average of 63.5 FPS. This is the only 4K preset that clears the threshold, as High drops to 50 FPS and Ultra falls to 38.6 FPS. Low settings provide 78.3 FPS, but Medium offers better visual fidelity at a modest performance cost.

The verdict data confirms these findings: 1080p and 1440p both support Ultra settings, while 4K is limited to Medium as the best playable preset.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the Intel Core i3-12100F, the nearest rivals in benchmark scores are the Intel Core 3 N355 with an average score of 13492 (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-9500 at 13452 (0.3% faster), and the Intel Core 5 120UL at 13594 (0.7% slower). The Intel Core i7-1250U scores 13351, which is 1.1% lower. These CPUs would provide nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, meaning the frame rates at 1080p Low and Medium would be very close.

For the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile with a 0.5% higher score, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile at 0.8% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 at 1.5% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 is 1.7% faster. In GPU-bound scenarios like 4K High or Ultra, these cards would produce similar average FPS, with the RTX 5060 Mobile being the closest match.

Systems built with the i3-12100F and any of these rival GPUs would behave similarly in Fivem, particularly at 1440p and 4K where the GPU is the primary bottleneck. At 1080p, the CPU differences would be more apparent, but the delta of 1.1% or less between the i3-12100F and its rivals means the impact on frame rates would be minimal.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem effectively at all three tested resolutions, but the playable settings vary significantly. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, with Ultra delivering 106.9 FPS and Low reaching 218.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 70.9 FPS being the best visual option. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium providing 63.5 FPS as the best quality option.

The verdict by resolution confirms that 1080p and 1440p support Ultra settings, while 4K is limited to Medium. The RX 7700 XT is the limiting factor at 4K, as the data shows a steep drop from Medium to High (63.5 to 50 FPS). For most users, playing at 1440p Ultra offers the best combination of visual fidelity and performance, while 1080p is ideal for competitive play where maximum frame rates matter. The i3-12100F proves sufficient for this game, as its benchmark scores place it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, and the combo’s rank of 1545 out of 3707 indicates solid overall performance.
