Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a wide range of frame rates in Fivem, depending on resolution and quality preset. At 1080p, this combination produces triple-digit averages across every setting, while 1440p remains comfortably above 60 FPS even at Ultra. At 4K, the Ultra preset dips to an average of 59 FPS, just below the playable threshold, but High still holds 76 FPS. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, compares it to nearby hardware, and provides clear guidance on the best settings for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this CPU-GPU combo in Fivem covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with average FPS figures provided for all combinations. Minimum and maximum FPS are only recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution, giving a partial view of frame pacing.

At 1920x1080, the results are exceptionally high. The Low preset averages 331 FPS, which is the highest average recorded across the entire test matrix. Medium averages 261 FPS, with a minimum of 222 FPS and a maximum of 301 FPS. High averages 209 FPS, and Ultra averages 162 FPS. All settings at 1080p produce averages that far exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER is not under meaningful load at this resolution, leaving headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages remain strong but show the expected scaling from 1080p. Low averages 218 FPS, Medium averages 172 FPS with a minimum of 146 FPS and a maximum of 198 FPS, High averages 138 FPS, and Ultra averages 107 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 34% on Low, 34% on Medium, 34% on High, and 34% on Ultra, showing consistent scaling as pixel count increases. The minimum FPS at Medium (146 FPS) still clears the playable threshold by a wide margin, so frame dips are unlikely to cause stutter.

At 3840x2160, the performance falls more substantially. Low averages 121 FPS, Medium averages 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS, and High averages 76 FPS. Ultra averages 59 FPS, which is exactly one frame below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steeper: Low drops by 44%, Medium by 45%, High by 45%, and Ultra by 45%. This indicates that 4K places a much heavier load on the GPU, and only the Ultra preset fails to maintain an average above 60 FPS.

The Medium preset data is the only set that includes minimum and maximum FPS, so it provides the clearest picture of frame stability. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 222 FPS is 85% of the average, suggesting consistent frame delivery. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 146 FPS is 85% of the average, again showing stability. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 81 FPS is 85% of the average, which is close to the playable threshold but still acceptable. These ratios indicate that the combination does not suffer from severe frame-time spikes in the tested settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i5-12600KF has an average benchmark score of 27799, which places it at the 79th percentile among all CPUs. Its closest competitors are the Intel Core i9-10900K with an average score of 27872 (0.3% higher), the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a score of 27896 (0.3% higher), the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U with a score of 27887 (0.3% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE with a score of 27712 (0.3% lower). These deltas are within a fraction of a percent, meaning that in CPU-bound scenarios, swapping to any of these chips would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. The i9-10900K and Ryzen 7 5800X3D are the most direct alternatives, as they are desktop parts with similar multi-threaded capabilities.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54209, placing it at the 86th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 with a score of 54247 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X with a score of 54828 (1.1% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB with a score of 55698 (2.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon 8060S with a score of 55757 (2.8% higher). The RTX 4080 is the closest match, with a delta of only 0.1%, so users with that card should expect near-identical FPS in Fivem. The RX 6750 GRE and Radeon 8060S score slightly higher on average, but the differences are under 3%, which may translate to a few frames at most in real gameplay.

In practice, the CPU alternatives listed above would behave almost indistinguishably from the i5-12600KF in Fivem, since the game is not heavily multi-threaded and the deltas are so small. The GPU alternatives would also produce similar results, with the RTX 4080 being the safest drop-in replacement. None of these rivals would push the 4K Ultra preset above 60 FPS, given that the RTX 4080 SUPER itself averages 59 FPS there.

CPU and GPU Roles

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts. At 1080p, the averages are extremely high—331 FPS on Low and 162 FPS on Ultra—which suggests that the CPU is the primary limiter, since the GPU has ample headroom. The fact that 1080p Ultra (162 FPS) is only 51% of 1080p Low (331 FPS) indicates that the graphics settings are influencing the frame rate, but even the lowest preset cannot exceed 331 FPS, pointing to a CPU ceiling.

At 1440p, the averages drop by roughly 34% across all presets compared to 1080p. This consistent scaling implies that the GPU is now becoming more involved, but the CPU still has enough headroom to keep frame rates high. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 107 FPS, which is still far above the playable threshold, so the CPU is not causing a bottleneck.

At 4K, the scaling from 1440p becomes steeper, with averages dropping by 44-45%. This larger drop indicates that the GPU is now the dominant factor, as the increased pixel count demands more from the RTX 4080 SUPER. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 59 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, showing that the GPU has reached its limit at this resolution with maximum settings. The CPU, in contrast, is unlikely to be a limiting factor at 4K, as the frame rates are much lower and the per-frame CPU work is similar.

The role of the CPU is more evident at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 169 FPS (331 vs 162), which is a 51% reduction. At 1440p, the difference is 111 FPS (218 vs 107), a 51% reduction. At 4K, the difference is 62 FPS (121 vs 59), a 49% reduction. This consistent percentage reduction across resolutions suggests that the settings are scaling similarly, but the absolute FPS values are lower at higher resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the main constraint at 4K.

In summary, the i5-12600KF is sufficient to drive high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, while the RTX 4080 SUPER becomes the limiting factor at 4K, especially on the Ultra preset where it falls one frame short of 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 259th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 7% of all configurations. The rank is based on measured FPS data, and the fact that it sits above 93% of other combos indicates that this is a high-performing setup for this game. The high rank is driven by the strong GPU performance at 1080p and 1440p, where the combo delivers averages that are several times the playable threshold.

The rank of 259 out of 3707 means that there are 258 combos that perform better in Fivem, likely featuring higher-end CPUs or GPUs such as the RTX 4090 or newer generation parts. However, the delta between this combo and those above it is likely small at lower resolutions, where the CPU becomes the bottleneck. At 4K, the rank would be lower due to the GPU's limits, but the overall rank reflects the average performance across all tested settings.

Given that the RTX 4080 SUPER is at the 86th percentile among GPUs and the i5-12600KF is at the 79th percentile among CPUs, the combo rank aligns with expectations—it is a strong pairing that performs well in Fivem, but it is not at the absolute top of the charts. The 0.1% delta to the RTX 4080 suggests that the non-SUPER variant would rank nearly identically, while the 0.3% delta to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D implies that swapping the CPU would have a minimal effect on the rank.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear. At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with averages ranging from 162 FPS on Ultra to 331 FPS on Low. The best settings are Ultra, which averages 162 FPS—well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with averages from 107 FPS on Ultra to 218 FPS on Low. The best settings are Ultra, averaging 107 FPS, which provides both high visual quality and a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. The playable settings are High (76 FPS), Medium (95 FPS), and Low (121 FPS), but Ultra averages 59 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold and therefore not considered playable. The best settings at 4K are High, which averages 76 FPS, giving a solid experience while maintaining a good balance between quality and performance.

In short, this PC can run Fivem at 60 FPS or higher at 1080p and 1440p on any preset. At 4K, it can run the game at 60 FPS or higher on High settings or lower, but Ultra falls slightly short.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 162. This setting maximizes visual quality while still delivering a frame rate that is more than double the playable threshold, making it the clear choice for 1080p displays.

For 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, with an average FPS of 107. This provides a high-quality image at a resolution that benefits from the RTX 4080 SUPER's power, and the frame rate remains well above 60 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even in busy multiplayer scenes.

For 3840x2160, the best settings are High, with an average FPS of 76. Ultra is not playable at 4K because its average of 59 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold. High offers a significant visual improvement over Medium (95 FPS) while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable limit. If you prefer higher frame rates, Medium at 95 FPS or Low at 121 FPS are also viable options, but High provides the best balance of quality and performance.
