Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers a performance profile that is heavily skewed toward the graphics card. The CPU, a 4-core/8-thread Alder Lake part with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, sits at the 68th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU, an Ampere flagship with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, ranks in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. This combination produces a system that is capable of running Fivem at high frame rates across most settings, though the most demanding 4K Ultra preset falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on aggregate benchmark scores, the Intel Core i3-12100F performs nearly identically to several other processors. Its average benchmark score is 13494, which is virtually indistinguishable from the Intel Core 3 N355 (13492, 0% difference) and the Intel Core i5-9500 (13452, 0.3% faster). The data also shows the Intel Core 5 120UL is slightly faster at 13594, a 0.7% delta, while the Intel Core i7-1250U trails by 1.1% with a score of 13351. In practical terms, a user moving from any of these CPUs to another would see no meaningful change in Fivem performance, as the differences are all within a single percentage point.

On the graphics side, the RTX 3080 Ti’s average benchmark score of 41187 places it in a tight cluster with several other cards. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, which is 0.8% lower, while the NVIDIA Tesla M40 24 GB scores 41707, 1.2% higher. The standard NVIDIA Tesla M40 is 1.7% ahead at 41897, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is 2% behind at 40377. For Fivem, these rivals would produce similar frame rates, though the RTX 3080 Ti’s 12 GB of VRAM and modern feature set may offer advantages in other titles.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals that Fivem is heavily GPU-bound at every resolution tested. The CPU’s 4-core/8-thread configuration is sufficient to feed the RTX 3080 Ti, but the frame rate scaling is almost entirely dictated by graphics load. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. The Low preset produces 263 FPS, which drops to 207.8 FPS at Medium, 165.7 FPS at High, and 128.4 FPS at Ultra. This 134.6 FPS spread between Low and Ultra demonstrates how much headroom the CPU has, as even the most demanding settings at 1080p still yield well over 120 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds. Low preset runs at 174.2 FPS, Medium at 132.5 FPS, High at 109.3 FPS, and Ultra at 82.7 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra shows a 45.7 FPS drop, which is attributable to the increased pixel count. At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low preset still manages 92.4 FPS, but Medium drops to 74.8 FPS, High falls to 57.4 FPS, and Ultra struggles at 45.4 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 47 FPS, indicating that the RTX 3080 Ti’s raw throughput is the limiting factor, not the i3-12100F.

The CPU’s role is primarily to maintain minimum frame rates and avoid stutter. With a multi-threaded score of 11860 in Cinebench R23 and a single-thread score of 1674, the i3-12100F provides adequate performance for Fivem’s multiplayer environments, which can be CPU-sensitive when many players are on screen. However, the measured FPS data shows no scenario where the CPU prevents the system from reaching 60 FPS, even at 4K High where the GPU is already below the threshold.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 60 FPS on a 1920x1080 monitor?

A: Yes. All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) exceed 60 FPS at 1920x1080. The Ultra preset averages 128.4 FPS, while even the most demanding setting maintains a comfortable margin above the playable threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset at 2560x1440?

A: Ultra is playable at 1440p, with an average frame rate of 82.7 FPS. This is the highest quality preset that stays above 60 FPS at this resolution.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this combination?

A: Partially. The Low and Medium presets clear 60 FPS at 3840x2160, with averages of 92.4 FPS and 74.8 FPS respectively. The High preset falls to 57.4 FPS and Ultra drops to 45.4 FPS, so those settings are not playable.

Q: How does the CPU compare to similar processors?

A: The i3-12100F’s average benchmark score of 13494 is essentially tied with the Intel Core 3 N355 (13492) and Intel Core i5-9500 (13452). The Intel Core 5 120UL is 0.7% faster, and the Intel Core i7-1250U is 1.1% slower.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra at 1920x1080?

A: The Low preset runs at 263 FPS, while Ultra runs at 128.4 FPS. This represents a 134.6 FPS reduction for the maximum visual quality settings.

Q: Is the RTX 3080 Ti significantly faster than its nearest rivals?

A: No. The RTX 3080 Ti’s average score of 41187 is within 2% of all four nearest rivals listed. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is 2% slower, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is 0.8% slower and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 24 GB is 1.2% faster.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but the playable settings depend heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold with every preset, and the best playable setting is Ultra at 128.4 FPS average. The same is true at 2560x1440, where Ultra achieves 82.7 FPS. At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced. The Low and Medium presets are playable, with 92.4 FPS and 74.8 FPS respectively, but High (57.4 FPS) and Ultra (45.4 FPS) fall below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data indicates that the RTX 3080 Ti is the limiting factor at 4K, as the i3-12100F has no trouble sustaining high frame rates at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 263 FPS on Low, 207.8 FPS on Medium, 165.7 FPS on High, and 128.4 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a consistent decline as graphical fidelity increases, with a 134.6 FPS spread from lowest to highest preset.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high. Low preset runs at 174.2 FPS, Medium at 132.5 FPS, High at 109.3 FPS, and Ultra at 82.7 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30-35% of the frame rate at each preset, which is expected given the higher pixel count.

The 3840x2160 results demonstrate where the GPU reaches its limits. Low preset produces 92.4 FPS, Medium drops to 74.8 FPS, High falls to 57.4 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 45.4 FPS. The transition from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 12 FPS loss, which is the largest proportional drop among all resolutions. Notably, the min and max FPS fields are null in the data pack, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this specific combination of the Intel Core i3-12100F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks 845th out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places the system in the top 22.8% of all configurations tested. The rank reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the CPU is not a top-tier part, but the GPU carries the load effectively. Given that the RTX 3080 Ti outclasses the CPU in terms of relative performance percentile (83rd vs 68th), the combo’s overall position is driven primarily by graphics throughput. The data shows that this ranking would likely improve significantly with a stronger CPU, but for Fivem specifically, the current pairing is more than adequate for most gaming scenarios.

Best Settings per Resolution

The optimal settings for each resolution are determined by finding the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering 128.4 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while still offering a substantial margin above the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, Ultra remains the best option with 82.7 FPS. The frame rate is lower than at 1080p but still comfortably above 60 FPS, making this the recommended configuration for users with 1440p displays.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Medium, which achieves 74.8 FPS. While Low also clears the threshold at 92.4 FPS, Medium offers better visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness. The High and Ultra presets are not recommended at 4K, as they fall to 57.4 FPS and 45.4 FPS respectively, failing to meet the 60 FPS playable criterion.
