Fivem

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of Intel Core i7-12700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER in Fivem shows a clear performance hierarchy across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates, with the Low preset averaging 159.6 FPS. Moving up the settings ladder, Medium averages 122.6 FPS, High averages 97.7 FPS, and even the most demanding Ultra preset stays well above the 60 FPS threshold at 78.2 FPS average. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution shows a 51% reduction in average frame rate, yet every preset remains comfortably playable.

At 2560x1440, the averages step down noticeably. Low settings produce 103.6 FPS, Medium drops to 82.3 FPS, and High holds at 65.1 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS mark, averaging 52.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is approximately 49%, similar in proportion to the 1080p scaling but with the absolute floor dropping under the playability threshold. The 1440p data shows that the High preset is the most demanding option that still clears 60 FPS, while Ultra is the first setting to fail that requirement.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes substantially. Low averages 56.5 FPS, which is still under 60 FPS. Medium averages 44.9 FPS, High averages 34.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 30.4 FPS. No preset at 4K reaches the 60 FPS threshold, and the gap between Low and Ultra is about 46%. The 4K results indicate that this combination is not suited for 60 FPS gameplay at any quality setting in Fivem, regardless of how far the graphics options are reduced.

The measured data includes no minimum or maximum frame time values, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS. The averages themselves are consistent with a GPU-bound workload at higher resolutions, while the 1080p numbers suggest the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU at lower graphical loads.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 78.2 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that still stays at or above 60 FPS, and it does so with a margin of 18.2 FPS. Since all four presets at this resolution clear the threshold, the database indicates Ultra as the optimal choice for image quality without sacrificing playability.

For 2560x1440, the best settings are High, averaging 65.1 FPS. This preset sits just 5.1 FPS above the 60 FPS line. Medium and Low also clear the threshold, but High represents the highest quality option that remains playable. The Ultra preset at 52.4 FPS falls short, so it cannot be recommended for smooth gameplay at this resolution.

For 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The closest option is Low at 56.5 FPS, which is 3.5 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra are progressively worse, with High and Ultra both averaging in the 30s. The data shows no preset at 4K can maintain 60 FPS, so the database records no best settings for this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow band of average benchmark scores. The Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35305, which is 0.1% lower than the i7-12700K's 35287. The Intel Core i7-12700KF scores 35365, 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-13700T scores 35403, 0.3% higher, and the Intel Core 5 213PE scores 35428, 0.4% higher. These deltas are negligible in practical terms, so a system built with any of these CPUs would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2060 SUPER's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile with an average score of 18159, 0.4% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% higher, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% higher. The RX 460 and Arc A770M deltas are slightly larger but still within a range that would translate to only a few frames per second in most games. For Fivem specifically, any of these GPUs paired with the i7-12700K would land in the same performance neighborhood, with the RTX 3060 Mobile and Radeon Pro 5700 being the closest matches.

The Verdict

The data answers the question directly: this PC can run Fivem at 60 FPS, but only at certain resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears 60 FPS. The best playable setting is Ultra at 78.2 FPS average. At 2560x1440, High is the best playable setting at 65.1 FPS, with Low and Medium also viable. Ultra fails at 52.4 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS, with Low being the closest at 56.5 FPS.

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous. For 1080p users, this combination is more than sufficient, offering a 30 FPS margin at Ultra. For 1440p users, High is the ceiling, and the margin is thin. For 4K users, the system cannot deliver smooth gameplay at any quality level, so a GPU upgrade would be necessary to hit the 60 FPS target.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions reveals which component dominates in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 159.6 FPS, which is substantially higher than the 4K Low average of 56.5 FPS. This 103.1 FPS difference across resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. The CPU, with its 12 cores and 20 threads, has enough headroom at 1080p to push frame rates far beyond the 60 FPS target, but the RTX 2060 SUPER cannot maintain that throughput when the resolution increases.

The settings scaling further supports this. At 1080p, dropping from Ultra to Low raises the average from 78.2 FPS to 159.6 FPS, a 104% improvement. At 1440p, the same settings change raises the average from 52.4 FPS to 103.6 FPS, a 98% improvement. At 4K, the improvement from Ultra to Low is from 30.4 FPS to 56.5 FPS, an 86% improvement. The diminishing returns at higher resolutions are typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the graphics card's raw throughput, not the CPU's processing power, determines the ceiling.

The CPU percentile of 84 among all tested processors, combined with the GPU percentile of 62, suggests that the i7-12700K is the stronger component in this pairing. In Fivem, the data shows that the GPU is the primary constraint at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU is more than adequate even at 1080p with the lowest settings. At 1080p Ultra, the balance shifts slightly, but the GPU still governs the final frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank for this i7-12700K plus RTX 2060 SUPER pairing in Fivem is 2710 out of 3707 tested combinations in the database. This places the system in the lower third of all tested combos, which aligns with the measured results showing playability at 1080p and 1440p but not at 4K. The rank of 2710 means that roughly 997 other combinations in the database achieve better overall results in Fivem, based on the recorded frame rates at the tested settings and resolutions. The 1080p Ultra average of 78.2 FPS and the 1440p High average of 65.1 FPS are solid numbers, but the 4K results drag the overall standing down. The combination is not near the top of the database, but it is far from the bottom, with the majority of the 3707 combos ranked above it. The CPU's 84th percentile standing and the GPU's 62nd percentile standing contribute to this mid-to-lower placement, with the GPU acting as the limiting factor in the most demanding scenarios.
