Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a combination that lands in the 654th position out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem, placing it in the top 18% of all systems evaluated for this multiplayer title. This ranking reflects a setup that is decidedly above average, though not at the absolute top tier, and the measured frame rates across all resolutions and presets confirm a system with substantial headroom for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 654 out of 3707 tested combinations places it comfortably within the upper quintile of systems evaluated for Fivem. This is a strong showing, indicating that the pairing of a 4-core, 8-thread Alder Lake CPU with a 40-series Ada Lovelace GPU is well-matched for this specific game’s demands. The data shows that this combo outperforms roughly 82% of all recorded systems, which is notable for a setup built around an entry-level desktop processor.

What is particularly interesting is that the rank is not higher, given the GPU’s raw power. The RTX 4070 SUPER sits in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, while the i3-12100F is in the 68th percentile of all CPUs. The combination rank of 654 suggests that Fivem’s performance ceiling is influenced by the CPU, as a more powerful processor would likely push this combo higher. The i3-12100F’s 4 cores and 8 threads, with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, are sufficient to drive high frame rates, but the data implies that the CPU is the limiting factor in the most demanding scenarios, particularly at 4K Ultra where the average FPS drops below the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across different resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the CPU’s role is paramount. The i3-12100F, with its 3DMark single-thread score of 893 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1674, provides the foundation for the extremely high frame rates observed. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 287.8 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it still delivers 141.9 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 145.9 FPS drop, which is a 50.7% reduction. This indicates that as graphical load increases, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility, but the CPU’s single-thread performance keeps the frame rate from collapsing.

Moving to 2560x1440, the balance shifts. The average FPS at 1440p Low is 189.5, and at Ultra it is 92.2. The drop from Low to Ultra is 97.3 FPS, a 51.3% reduction, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p drop. However, the absolute numbers are lower, showing that the GPU is now the primary bottleneck. The RTX 4070 SUPER, with its 7168 shading units and 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, is being pushed harder, but it still maintains performance well above the 60 FPS threshold at every preset.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s dominance is unmistakable. The 4K High preset yields 67.7 FPS, while 4K Ultra drops to 48.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is a 56.1 FPS drop, a 53.6% reduction. This is the only resolution where the combo fails to clear 60 FPS at the highest preset, and it underscores that the RTX 4070 SUPER, despite its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 198.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, is the limiting factor at this extreme resolution. The CPU’s contribution at 4K is less critical, as the frame rates are governed by the GPU’s ability to fill pixels.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this combo. For the CPU, the Intel Core i3-12100F has an average benchmark score of 13494. The closest rivals are the Intel Core 3 N355 with a score of 13492 (a 0% delta), the Intel Core i5-9500 at 13452 (0.3% faster), and the Intel Core 5 120UL at 13594 (0.7% slower). These processors would deliver virtually identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem, meaning that swapping the i3-12100F for any of these would result in nearly indistinguishable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p where the CPU matters most.

For the GPU, the RTX 4070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 43223. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43262 (0.1% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile at 43268 (0.1% faster), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43301 (0.2% faster). These GPUs would produce nearly identical performance in GPU-bound scenarios, particularly at 4K resolution. A system with any of these alternative GPUs paired with the i3-12100F would see essentially the same FPS numbers at 4K High and Ultra, as the GPU is the bottleneck there.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Fivem, and the data shows it does so with considerable authority at most settings. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low (287.8 FPS), Medium (229.6 FPS), High (181.3 FPS), and Ultra (141.9 FPS)—clear the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin. At 2560x1440, the same holds true, with even the Ultra preset achieving 92.2 FPS. The situation at 3840x2160 is slightly more nuanced: the High preset delivers 67.7 FPS, and Medium (82.5 FPS) and Low (104.7 FPS) are also above 60 FPS. However, the Ultra preset at 4K falls short at 48.6 FPS, making it the only configuration tested that does not meet the playable threshold.

The verdict by resolution is clear: for 1080p and 1440p, this combo is overqualified, delivering frame rates that are 2.4 to 4.8 times higher than the 60 FPS baseline. For 4K, it is playable up to High settings, but Ultra is not viable. The data indicates that for the overwhelming majority of Fivem players, this system will provide an exceptionally smooth experience, with the only caveat being those who insist on 4K with maximum graphical fidelity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the combo’s performance across all resolutions and settings:

At 1920x1080, the lowest preset delivers 287.8 FPS average, Medium comes in at 229.6 FPS, High at 181.3 FPS, and Ultra at 141.9 FPS. The scaling is consistent, with each step up in settings costing roughly 40-50 FPS. This is a scenario where the CPU’s single-thread performance is the star, as the 4.30 GHz boost clock and 3DMark single-thread score of 893 keep the frame rate high even at Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the numbers drop but remain robust: Low at 189.5 FPS, Medium at 147.5 FPS, High at 119.8 FPS, and Ultra at 92.2 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is proportional across all presets, roughly 34% lower, which aligns with the increase in pixel count from 2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels. The GPU’s 192-bit memory bus and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to keep feeding the 224 TMUs and 80 ROPs.

At 3840x2160, the data shows the GPU’s limits: Low at 104.7 FPS, Medium at 82.5 FPS, High at 67.7 FPS, and Ultra at 48.6 FPS. The 4K resolution has 8.29 million pixels, more than double 1440p, and the frame rate at Ultra drops below the 60 FPS threshold. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is stretched at this resolution, but it still manages to provide a playable experience at High settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering 141.9 FPS average. This is more than double the playable threshold, so players can max out all settings without any concern for frame rate. The data shows no reason to compromise at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best setting, achieving 92.2 FPS average. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by a substantial 32.2 FPS, leaving ample headroom for any in-game action or multiplayer chaos that might cause temporary dips.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the most demanding that stays above 60 FPS, with an average of 67.7 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 48.6 FPS, which is 11.4 FPS below the playable threshold. For 4K players, High is the sweet spot, offering a 19.1 FPS buffer above the minimum, while Medium at 82.5 FPS would be the choice for those who prioritize a larger safety margin.
