Fivem

Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B570 represent a modern entry-level pairing for Fivem, a multiplayer title that stresses both CPU and GPU depending on the scenario. The measured data shows this combination delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. Across all tested resolutions and presets, the combo achieves an average FPS ranging from a low of 24 at 4K Ultra to a high of 136 at 1080p Low, with the most demanding 4K settings proving too heavy for this hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B570 struggle to maintain playable frame rates. The High preset yields an average of 31 FPS, with no min or max values recorded. Dropping to Medium improves the average to 39 FPS, with a minimum of 33 and a maximum of 45. The Low preset reaches an average of 50 FPS, still below the 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset produces the worst result, with an average of only 24 FPS. None of these 4K settings clear the playable threshold, confirming that 4K is not viable for this game with this hardware.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance improves substantially. The Low preset delivers an average of 89 FPS, which is well above 60. Medium averages 71 FPS, with a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 81, making it the best playable setting at this resolution. High averages 56 FPS, just short of the threshold, while Ultra drops to 44 FPS. The data indicates a clear step-up from 4K, with the 1440p Medium preset providing a comfortable margin over the playable limit.

At 1920x1080, the combination performs strongly across all presets. Low averages 136 FPS, a near-doubling of the 4K Low result. Medium averages 107 FPS, with a minimum of 91 and a maximum of 123. High averages 86 FPS, and even the demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 67 FPS. Every 1080p setting remains above 60 FPS, making this resolution the sweet spot for this pairing.

The scaling between presets is consistent: moving from Low to Ultra at each resolution reduces the average FPS by roughly half or more. At 1080p, the drop from 136 to 67 FPS represents a 51% reduction, while at 4K, the drop from 50 to 24 FPS is a 52% reduction. This pattern suggests the Arc B570's rendering load scales predictably with graphical complexity, though the absolute numbers at 4K indicate a hard ceiling.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2980 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the pairing in the lower portion of the benchmark database, at roughly the 20th percentile of all tested configurations. The percentileVsAllCpus for the CPU is 68, meaning the i3-12100F outperforms 68% of all CPUs in general benchmarks, while the GPU's percentileVsAllGpus is 65, indicating it beats 65% of all GPUs. Despite both components being above-average individually, their combined ranking in Fivem is dragged down by the 4K results, where the GPU cannot maintain playable performance.

In context, this rank means the pairing is better suited to 1080p and 1440p gaming than to high-resolution or high-refresh-rate 4K play. Combos ranked above this one likely feature stronger GPUs or more balanced CPU-GPU pairings, while those below may have older or weaker components. The rank of 2980 out of 3707 suggests that, while not a top-tier setup, this combination is far from the bottom of the database; it sits in the lower-middle range, capable of handling mainstream gaming demands at reasonable settings.

The average benchmark score for the CPU is 13494, while the GPU's average benchmark score is 20556. These scores, combined with the measured FPS data, indicate that the CPU's single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 893) is adequate for Fivem's typical server-side and client-side workloads, while the GPU's raw compute (fp32 of 11.52 TFLOPS) is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but not for 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear resolution-dependent split in workload distribution. At 1080p, the CPU's role is more prominent, as the i3-12100F's 4 cores and 8 threads must keep up with Fivem's simulation and network overhead. The 3dmark_4_threads score of 2859 and 3dmark_8_threads score of 4026 indicate the CPU can handle multi-threaded tasks, but the single-thread score of 893 is critical for Fivem's primary game loop. At 1080p Low, the 136 FPS average suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck, as the GPU is likely the limiting factor even at low settings.

At 1440p, the GPU begins to take a larger role. The average FPS drops from 136 at 1080p Low to 89 at 1440p Low, a 35% reduction that roughly correlates with the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels. This scaling indicates the Arc B570's rendering throughput is becoming the primary constraint. At 4K, the GPU's role is dominant; the 50 FPS at Low and 31 FPS at High show that the 10 GB GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the 8.3 million pixel workload.

The settings scaling further clarifies roles. At each resolution, the delta between Low and Ultra is consistent, indicating that graphical preset changes predominantly affect GPU load. However, the fact that 1080p Ultra averages 67 FPS, while 1440p High averages 56 FPS, shows that resolution increases stress the GPU more than preset increases at the same resolution. The CPU's performance, as measured by the cinebench_r23_multicore score of 11860, appears sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at 1080p, but the GPU's compute limits become evident at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the Intel Core i3-12100F, the nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the Intel Core 3 N355, Intel Core i5-9500, Intel Core 5 120UL, and Intel Core i7-1250U. The Core 3 N355 has an average score of 13492, a delta of 0% from the i3-12100F's 13494, meaning performance is essentially identical. The Core i5-9500 scores 13452, a 0.3% lower result, so users would see nearly the same CPU-bound behavior in Fivem. The Core 5 120UL scores 13594, 0.7% higher, and the Core i7-1250U scores 13351, 1.1% lower. These CPU alternatives would produce similar frame rates at 1080p, where the CPU matters most, but would not change the 4K outcome since the GPU remains the limiter.

For the Intel Arc B570, the nearest GPU rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, Intel Arc A750, NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, and AMD Radeon R9 M390X. The RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, a 0.1% difference from the B570's 20556, so it would deliver nearly identical FPS in Fivem. The Arc A750 scores 20582, 0.1% higher, making it a slightly faster alternative. The Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower, and the R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher. All of these GPUs would produce the same 4K failure, since the deltaPct values are within 0.5% of each other, meaning the B570's performance profile is representative of this performance tier.

Choosing any of these alternatives would not materially change the verdict: 1080p remains fully playable at all presets, 1440p is playable at Low and Medium, and 4K is not playable at any setting. The system's overall rank in Fivem would shift by only a few positions, given the narrow performance deltas.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 67 FPS. This is the optimal choice for users prioritizing visual quality over raw frame rate. Low averages 136 FPS, Medium 107 FPS, and High 86 FPS, all well above the threshold, so any preset is usable. Ultra provides the best visuals while still clearing the 60 FPS bar.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is Medium, with an average of 71 FPS and a minimum of 60 FPS. The Low preset averages 89 FPS, but Medium offers better graphical fidelity while staying above the threshold. High averages 56 FPS, which is below 60, so it is not recommended for smooth gameplay. Ultra averages 44 FPS, making it unsuitable. Medium is the clear winner at this resolution, balancing visual quality with performance headroom.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves an average of 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 50 FPS, but this falls short of the playable threshold. Medium averages 39 FPS, High 31 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS, all too low for acceptable gameplay. Users at 4K would need to reduce resolution to 1440p or lower to achieve playable frame rates, as the hardware cannot sustain 60 FPS at this resolution regardless of settings.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B570 can run Fivem at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 with playable performance, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 67 FPS, making this the best resolution for this pairing. At 1440p, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 71 FPS as the best setting. At 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the highest average is 50 FPS at Low, which is not sufficient for smooth gameplay.

The verdict by resolution confirms this: 1080p is fully supported with best settings at Ultra and an average of 67 FPS, 1440p is supported with best settings at Medium and an average of 71 FPS, and 4K is not playable at any setting. Users seeking a 4K experience would need to upgrade the GPU to a higher-tier model, as the Arc B570's 380.0 GB/s bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS are insufficient for the pixel load. For 1440p and 1080p gaming, this combination offers a solid experience, with the CPU's 4.30 GHz boost clock and 12 MB L3 cache providing adequate single-thread performance for Fivem's mechanics.
