Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a wide spread of performance across the three tested resolutions in Fivem. The recorded data shows a clear pattern: higher resolutions quickly outpace what the GPU can handle at maximum settings, while lower resolutions allow for significant headroom. This analysis breaks down the measured frames per second, the best settings for each resolution, and how this combination compares to other hardware in the database.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 64 FPS. The Medium preset drops to an average of 51 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold, while High averages 40 FPS and Ultra averages 31 FPS. This means that at 4K, users must accept Low settings to maintain smooth gameplay, and even then, the margin above 60 FPS is slim.

At 2560x1440, the best preset that clears 60 FPS is High, with an average of 73 FPS. The Medium preset averages 91 FPS, which is also playable, but High is the most demanding option that remains above the threshold. Low averages 116 FPS, and Ultra drops to 57 FPS, missing the 60 FPS mark by a narrow margin. The data indicates that 1440p users can enjoy High settings comfortably, with a fallback to Medium or Low if they prefer higher frame rates.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 86 FPS. High averages 111 FPS, Medium averages 138 FPS, and Low averages 175 FPS. This resolution provides the most flexibility, as every preset is playable, and Ultra still offers a 26 FPS buffer above the minimum threshold. The combination of the CPU and GPU is clearly strong enough to handle Fivem at 1080p without compromises.

The CPU itself has a percentile vs all CPUs of 68, meaning it performs better than 68% of tested processors in general benchmarks. The GPU has a percentile vs all GPUs of 65, indicating it outperforms 65% of tested graphics cards. The combo's rank in this specific game is slightly lower than either individual percentile, suggesting that Fivem's demands are balanced between CPU and GPU, and neither component fully compensates for the other's limitations at higher resolutions.

The data shows that this rank is not static across resolutions. At 1080p, the combo likely ranks much higher due to the high average FPS across all presets, while at 4K, the rank drops because only Low settings are playable. The overall rank of 2138 is an aggregate, but the measured FPS values provide a clearer picture of where this combo excels.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU offer insight into what other hardware would behave similarly. For the Intel Core i3-12100F, the closest alternatives in the database are the Intel Core 3 N355, the Intel Core i5-9500, the Intel Core 5 120UL, and the Intel Core i7-1250U. The Core 3 N355 has an average benchmark score of 13492, essentially identical to the i3-12100F's average of 13494, with a delta of 0%. The Core i5-9500 scores 13452, a 0.3% difference, meaning it would deliver nearly the same CPU performance in Fivem. The Core 5 120UL scores 13594, with a delta of -0.7%, so it is slightly faster, while the Core i7-1250U scores 13351, a 1.1% difference, making it slightly slower.

The Quadro M4000M has an average score of 20480, which is 1% higher than the RTX 2070 SUPER's 20282, meaning it would be marginally faster. The RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, a 1.2% difference, also slightly faster. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, a 1.3% difference, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a 1.5% difference. These deltas are all within 2%, so swapping the RTX 2070 SUPER for any of these would result in nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, with the Intel options being marginally faster on average.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Fivem depends entirely on the resolution and settings. Based on the verdictByResolution data, the answer is yes for all three resolutions, but with important caveats. At 3840x2160, the only playable setting is Low, with an average of 64 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold, but just barely, and users would have to accept reduced visual quality. At 2560x1440, the playable settings include High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best option at 73 FPS. Ultra is not playable, as it averages 57 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 86 FPS, High at 111 FPS, Medium at 138 FPS, and Low at 175 FPS.

The data shows that this combo is fully capable of running Fivem at 1080p with maximum settings, and at 1440p with high settings. For 4K, it is technically playable but only at Low settings, which may not be acceptable for users who prioritize visual fidelity. The verdict is clear: this PC can run the game, but the experience scales heavily with resolution. The 60 FPS threshold is met at every resolution with at least one preset, so the combo is never unplayable, but the settings must be adjusted accordingly.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to performance at different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 86 at Ultra to 175 at Low, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The CPU, with its 4 cores and 8 threads, has enough headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, as evidenced by the high frame rates. The single-thread score of 893 in 3dmark and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1674 suggest strong per-core performance, which is crucial for Fivem's multiplayer environments that often rely on a few threads.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops to between 57 and 116, with the gap between presets widening. The GPU's workload increases significantly at this resolution, and the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become more relevant. The CPU still keeps up, but the GPU's pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s are now the limiting factors, especially at Ultra settings where the average drops to 57 FPS. The data suggests that at 1440p, the GPU is the dominant constraint, while the CPU remains adequate.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS falls to between 31 and 64, and the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The CPU's performance is less relevant here, as the GPU cannot produce enough frames regardless of the preset. The drop from 64 FPS at Low to 31 FPS at Ultra represents a 52% reduction, highlighting the GPU's struggle with 4K rendering. The CPU's benchmarks, such as the Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 4981, show it is not the limiting factor at this resolution. Instead, the GPU's FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS and its 2560 shading units are insufficient for high settings at 4K.

The scaling between resolutions further clarifies the roles. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings reduces the average FPS from 111 to 73, a 34% drop. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings reduces it from 73 to 40, a 45% drop. This accelerating decline with resolution points to the GPU as the primary constraint. The CPU's role is more evident in the consistency of frame rates at lower resolutions, where the 4-core design still delivers high averages. The data implies that for this game, the GPU matters more at 1440p and above, while the CPU is sufficient at 1080p and does not become a limiting factor until the GPU is pushed to its limits at 4K.
