Fivem

The Intel Core i7-12700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a strong Fivem experience across all tested resolutions, with the data indicating that 4K Ultra is the only setting that drops below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The combination of a 12-core Alder Lake processor and an Ada Lovelace GPU with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory produces average frame rates that range from 49.4 FPS at 4K Ultra to 288.1 FPS at 1080p Low, with the system ranking 636th out of 3,707 tested combos in this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers 67.4 FPS. The data shows that Medium runs at 83.3 FPS and Low at 105.1 FPS, but Ultra falls to 49.4 FPS, making it the only unplayable setting in this resolution. For players prioritizing visual fidelity at 4K, High is the ceiling for smooth gameplay, while those willing to sacrifice quality can push frame rates well beyond the target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system handles every preset above the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra being the best playable option at 93.9 FPS. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is substantial: Ultra improves by 44.5 FPS, High by 53.1 FPS, Medium by 68.7 FPS, and Low by 86.3 FPS. At this resolution, the RTX 4070 SUPER has enough headroom to run the game at maximum settings without compromising playability, making 1440p the sweet spot for this combo.

At 1920x1080, all settings are comfortably playable, with Ultra averaging 142.2 FPS, High at 180.2 FPS, Medium at 228.4 FPS, and Low at 288.1 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 1080p yields significant gains: Ultra improves by 48.3 FPS, High by 59.7 FPS, Medium by 76.4 FPS, and Low by 96.7 FPS. For competitive play, Low at 1080p offers nearly double the frame rate of Ultra at 1440p, though even the highest quality setting remains well above the 60 FPS baseline.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, particularly at 4K, where the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows relative to lower resolutions. At 3840x2160, the difference between Low (105.1 FPS) and Ultra (49.4 FPS) is 55.7 FPS, while at 1920x1080 that same spread expands to 145.9 FPS (288.1 vs 142.2). This pattern suggests that at 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER is working closer to its limits, reducing the impact of preset changes.

The CPU’s role becomes more apparent at 1080p, where the i7-12700K’s 20 threads and 25 MB of L3 cache help sustain high frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 288.1 FPS, which is 96.7 FPS higher than at 1440p Low (191.4 FPS) and 183 FPS higher than at 4K Low (105.1 FPS). This scaling demonstrates that the processor has ample headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, where the graphics card is less likely to be the limiting factor.

At 1440p, the balance between CPU and GPU shifts toward the graphics card, as evidenced by the 93.9 FPS Ultra result versus 120.5 FPS at High. The 26.6 FPS drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is proportionally similar to the 18 FPS drop at 4K (67.4 to 49.4), but smaller than the 38 FPS drop at 1080p (180.2 to 142.2). This indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in determining frame rates at 4K and 1440p, while the CPU contributes more meaningfully at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured average frame rates are: Low at 105.1 FPS, Medium at 83.3 FPS, High at 67.4 FPS, and Ultra at 49.4 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High (15.9 FPS) and the smallest between High and Ultra (18 FPS). Notably, the 4K Ultra result is the only recorded instance where the system falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low at 191.4 FPS, Medium at 152 FPS, High at 120.5 FPS, and Ultra at 93.9 FPS. The delta between each consecutive preset is roughly 28-32 FPS, with Medium to High showing the steepest decline at 31.5 FPS. All settings at this resolution exceed the playability target by a wide margin, with even the lowest quality setting delivering more than triple the 60 FPS baseline.

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are: Low at 288.1 FPS, Medium at 228.4 FPS, High at 180.2 FPS, and Ultra at 142.2 FPS. The scaling here is less uniform than at 1440p, with the Low to Medium drop being 59.7 FPS, Medium to High at 48.2 FPS, and High to Ultra at 38 FPS. The diminishing returns from lowering quality at 1080p suggest that the CPU is starting to become a more significant factor, as the GPU has excess capacity at this resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Fivem at 4K with maximum settings?

A: No. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate is 49.4 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The highest playable setting at 4K is High, which averages 67.4 FPS.

Q: What is the best resolution for this hardware in Fivem?

A: Based on the data, 2560x1440 offers the best balance, with Ultra settings averaging 93.9 FPS. This provides 30+ FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS target while maintaining maximum visual quality.

Q: How much performance improves when dropping from 4K to 1440p?

A: At High settings, the average frame rate increases from 67.4 FPS at 4K to 120.5 FPS at 1440p, a gain of 53.1 FPS. At Ultra settings, the improvement is 44.5 FPS, going from 49.4 FPS to 93.9 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU limit performance more in Fivem?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K and 1440p, as shown by the smaller performance gaps between presets at those resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU becomes more relevant, with the i7-12700K helping sustain 288.1 FPS at Low settings.

Q: Is the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB VRAM sufficient for Fivem?

Q: What frame rate can be expected at 1080p with competitive settings?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 288.1 FPS. Using Medium settings still delivers 228.4 FPS, which is well above the needs of even high-refresh-rate displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i7-12700K’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database are all within 0.4% of its average score, meaning they would produce nearly identical CPU-bound results in Fivem. The Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35,305 versus the i7-12700K’s 35,287, a delta of -0.1%, so users with that processor would see essentially the same frame rates at 1080p where CPU load is highest. The Intel Core i7-12700KF is even closer at 35,365 (-0.2%), and given its nearly identical specifications, it would be indistinguishable in practice. The Intel Core i7-13700T (35,403, -0.3%) and Intel Core 5 213PE (35,428, -0.4%) also fall within the same performance envelope, with all four rivals delivering within a fraction of a percent of the i7-12700K’s multithreaded capabilities.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, the nearest rivals cluster around its average benchmark score of 43,223. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262 (-0.1%), which is effectively equivalent, though its driver optimization for professional workloads may not translate directly to gaming performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, -0.1%) and NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43,301, -0.2%) are similarly close on paper, but the mobile variant’s power constraints could affect sustained performance in a desktop context. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile shows a -1% delta at 43,667, meaning it would deliver roughly the same frame rates in Fivem, though desktop variants of higher-tier cards would likely outperform it.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-12700K with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 636th out of 3,707 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the top 17.2% of all systems tested. This position reflects the hardware’s strong performance at 1080p and 1440p, where it delivers playable frame rates at all settings, and its competence at 4K with High settings. The ranking also contextualizes the 4K Ultra limitation: while the combo is far from the slowest tested, there are 3,071 configurations ahead of it that presumably handle more demanding scenarios.

The percentile data reinforces this picture. The CPU sits at the 84th percentile versus all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 83rd percentile versus all GPUs, indicating both components are well above average in their respective categories. The combination of these above-average parts produces a system that comfortably handles Fivem’s typical multiplayer scenarios, though the 4K Ultra result shows that maxing out every setting at the highest resolution is beyond its reach. For users targeting 1440p or 1080p, however, the combo provides exceptional headroom, with even the most demanding settings maintaining frame rates well above the 60 FPS threshold.
