Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a wide performance envelope in Fivem, with results that shift dramatically based on resolution and graphics preset. The recorded data shows that this combination is capable of exceeding the 60 FPS threshold in most scenarios, but 4K gaming requires strict settings management. The following breakdown examines the measured average frame rates, the balance between CPU and GPU workload, and the optimal configurations for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the system struggles with higher presets. The Ultra preset yields an average of 33.5 FPS, which is well below the playable threshold. High settings improve the situation to 38.8 FPS, still insufficient for smooth gameplay. Medium settings bring the average to 49.4 FPS, approaching but not reaching 60 FPS. Only the Low preset breaks past the barrier, delivering an average of 62.3 FPS. This represents a near-doubling of performance when moving from Ultra to Low, a 28.8 FPS gain over the Ultra figure.

At 2560x1440, the results are considerably stronger. The Low preset produces an average of 112.9 FPS, making it the fastest configuration at this resolution. Medium settings follow at 88.7 FPS, and High settings maintain a solid 70.2 FPS. The Ultra preset dips to 59.1 FPS, just 0.9 FPS below the 60 FPS target. The scaling from Ultra to Low here is a 53.8 FPS increase, showing that the GPU has substantial headroom when settings are relaxed.

At 1920x1080, the combo is clearly CPU-bound at lower presets. The Low preset reaches an average of 177.3 FPS, while Medium delivers 135.4 FPS. High settings achieve 107.4 FPS, and even the demanding Ultra preset stays well above the threshold at 87.5 FPS. The spread from Ultra to Low is 89.8 FPS, the largest gap across all resolutions, which highlights how much performance is available when the GPU is not the limiting factor.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, while the i5-12600KF provides ample headroom at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is massive, with the Low preset hitting 177.3 FPS versus 87.5 FPS on Ultra. This suggests that the GPU is still doing significant work even at 1080p, but the CPU is capable of feeding it enough data to exceed 170 FPS when the graphics load is light.

Moving to 1440p, the average frame rates across presets drop by roughly 35-40% compared to 1080p. For example, High settings fall from 107.4 FPS at 1080p to 70.2 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 37.2 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is becoming more influential, as the pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p, yet the frame rate does not degrade proportionally, suggesting the CPU still contributes meaningfully.

At 4K, the situation inverts. The difference between Low and Ultra presets narrows to a 28.8 FPS gap, compared to the 89.8 FPS gap at 1080p. This compression of performance scaling is a classic sign of a GPU-limited scenario. The RTX 2070 SUPER is fully saturated at 3840x2160, and the CPU has little impact on the final frame rate. The fact that Low settings only reach 62.3 FPS at 4K, versus 177.3 FPS at 1080p, confirms that the GPU is the dominant constraint at this resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the only playable setting is Low, which produces an average of 62.3 FPS. This is the sole configuration that clears the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall short, with the latter two being particularly unsuitable for gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, delivering an average of 70.2 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS target while maintaining higher visual quality than Medium or Low. The Ultra preset is not viable here, sitting at 59.1 FPS, just below the threshold.

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 87.5 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for full visual fidelity, as it offers a 27.5 FPS buffer over the playable threshold. All four presets are playable at this resolution, but Ultra is the optimal choice for users seeking maximum quality.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database show that the i5-12600KF sits in a tightly contested performance band. The Intel Core i9-10900K scores 27872, which is 0.3% lower than the i5-12600KF's average benchmark of 27799. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, a popular gaming processor, scores 27896, just 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE also fall within a 0.3% delta of the i5-12600KF. This indicates that any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU, as the CPU is not the limiting factor at most settings.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2070 SUPER's nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, which is 1.0% lower than the RTX 2070 SUPER's average of 20282. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% higher, while the Intel Arc B570 and Intel Arc A750 score 20556 and 20582 respectively, both within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER. In practice, these GPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Fivem, meaning users with any of these alternatives should expect similar playability characteristics at each resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but only with the Low preset, which achieves an average of 62.3 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra presets all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra delivering only 33.5 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gameplay?

A: The High preset is the most demanding option that stays above 60 FPS at 2560x1440, producing an average of 70.2 FPS. Ultra is not playable, as it dips to 59.1 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for Fivem at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the CPU provides substantial headroom, as evidenced by the Low preset reaching 177.3 FPS. However, the GPU still influences performance, as the Ultra preset drops to 87.5 FPS, showing that both components matter.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to the Intel Arc B570?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282, while the Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, which is 1.3% higher. This difference is negligible in real-world gameplay, so both GPUs would perform similarly in Fivem.

Q: Which resolution offers the best balance of quality and performance?

A: The 2560x1440 High preset provides an average of 70.2 FPS, offering a good balance between visual fidelity and smoothness. The 1920x1080 Ultra preset is also viable at 87.5 FPS if maximum quality is preferred.

Q: Does the Ultra preset ever achieve 60 FPS with this combo?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 87.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra falls short at 59.1 FPS, and at 3840x2160, Ultra is severely limited at 33.5 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination at 2256 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places the system in the top 39% of all configurations tested, which is a respectable position given the age of the components. The ranking reflects the fact that the RTX 2070 SUPER, while no longer a flagship, still delivers solid performance in a multiplayer title like Fivem, particularly when paired with the strong single-threaded performance of the i5-12600KF. The CPU's percentile ranking of 79 against all tested CPUs indicates it is well above average, while the GPU's 65th percentile shows it is slightly above the midpoint. This combination of a strong CPU and mid-high tier GPU results in a system that handles the game well at mainstream resolutions but cannot push 4K beyond low settings.

The Verdict

The recorded data confirms that this PC can run Fivem effectively. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with the Ultra preset delivering 87.5 FPS, making this the ideal resolution for this hardware. At 2560x1440, the High preset is the best option at 70.2 FPS, while Low and Medium also exceed the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 1440p is not recommended, as it falls just short at 59.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system is only playable with the Low preset, which manages 62.3 FPS. For users targeting 4K, the experience will be limited to minimal settings, and even then the margin above 60 FPS is slim. For 1440p and below, this combination offers a smooth and responsive experience with room to spare. The i5-12600KF and RTX 2070 SUPER form a balanced pairing for Fivem, with the CPU providing enough throughput to keep the GPU well-fed at lower resolutions, while the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck at 4K.
