All four presets at 1080p far exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the most demanding settings more than tripling that baseline.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high but shows expected scaling. Low settings average 248 FPS, Medium averages 196 FPS with a minimum of 166 and maximum of 225, High averages 157 FPS, and Ultra averages 122 FPS. The 1440p results demonstrate that this combo can drive high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors at maximum settings, as the 122 FPS Ultra average still doubles the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the performance remains solidly playable across all presets. Low settings average 138 FPS, Medium averages 109 FPS with a minimum of 92 and maximum of 125, High averages 87 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured preset that comes close to the 60 FPS threshold, but it still clears it by 7 FPS. The minimum FPS recorded at 4K Medium (92) is notably higher than the average at 4K Ultra (67), suggesting that players wanting guaranteed high minimum frame rates might prefer Medium settings at 4K.

The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Fivem at all tested resolutions and settings combinations. At 3840x2160, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are classified as playable, with Ultra settings achieving an average of 67 FPS, which is 7 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings choice at 4K is Ultra, as it provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining playable performance.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is even more decisive. All four presets are playable, with Ultra settings delivering an average of 122 FPS — more than double the playable threshold. The best settings at 1440p is Ultra, offering both maximum visual fidelity and a frame rate that comfortably supports high refresh rate displays (120Hz+). The 1920x1080 results show complete dominance, with Ultra settings averaging 185 FPS and all presets far exceeding any practical display refresh rate.

For users prioritizing the highest possible frame rates, the 1080p Low preset at 353 FPS enables esports-tier responsiveness, while 1080p Ultra at 185 FPS remains superb for quality-conscious players. The verdict across all resolutions is unambiguous: this system never drops below 60 FPS in any measured configuration, making it a top-tier choice for Fivem at any display resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals distinct scaling patterns that indicate which component drives performance at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extraordinarily high across all settings, with the gap between Low (353 FPS) and Ultra (185 FPS) being 168 FPS. This 47.6% drop from Low to Ultra suggests that at 1080p, both CPU and GPU are heavily engaged, with the CPU's single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 1043) playing a significant role in sustaining these high frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the scaling from Low (248 FPS) to Ultra (122 FPS) shows a 126 FPS difference, representing a 50.8% reduction. The absolute frame rates remain very high, indicating the GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability is sufficient to handle the increased pixel count while the CPU continues to feed it effectively. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings shows a 63 FPS drop (185 to 122), which is proportionally larger than the resolution increase alone would suggest, pointing to increasing GPU workload.

At 3840x2160, the pattern shifts more decisively toward GPU limitation. The Low to Ultra spread is 71 FPS (138 to 67), a 48.6% reduction. Crucially, the 4K Ultra average of 67 FPS is the only measured result close to the playable threshold, indicating that at 4K, the RTX 5090's rendering load becomes the dominant constraint. The CPU's role diminishes at higher resolutions — the data shows that moving from 1080p Ultra (185 FPS) to 4K Ultra (67 FPS) represents a 63.8% performance reduction, which aligns with the GPU handling approximately four times the pixel throughput at 4K versus 1080p.

The Intel Core i7-12700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 77th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 2.1% of all hardware pairings tested for this game. This ranking is notable given that the individual components have percentile rankings of 84 (CPU) and 92 (GPU) against all respective hardware, suggesting the combination performs slightly better in Fivem than the CPU's standalone percentile would imply.

The combination's high rank is supported by the measured FPS data showing no configuration below 67 FPS average. In context, this means the combo outperforms 3630 other tested combinations, with only 76 combos achieving higher performance in Fivem. The rank reflects the synergy between the 12-core, 20-thread i7-12700K (which scores 9979 in 3DMark max threads) and the RTX 5090's massive 32 GB GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, which proves particularly effective in this multiplayer title.

For perspective, the combo rank of 77 suggests that users seeking even higher performance would need to look at top-tier enthusiast hardware combinations, likely featuring newer generation flagship CPUs paired with the RTX 5090 or its direct successor. The data shows this rank is achieved while maintaining playable performance at all settings, including the most demanding 4K Ultra configuration, which not all high-end combos may accomplish in Fivem's multiplayer environments.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra settings, which achieves an average of 185 FPS. This provides maximum visual quality while maintaining a frame rate that is over three times the playable threshold. The 1080p Ultra configuration is recommended for users with high refresh rate monitors up to 180Hz, while those with 240Hz+ displays could still consider High settings at 238 FPS for additional responsiveness.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings again represent the best choice, delivering an average of 122 FPS. This configuration clears the 60 FPS threshold by more than double, making it suitable for 120Hz displays at full quality settings. The 1440p Ultra result of 122 FPS compares favorably to the 1080p High result of 238 FPS, showing that the resolution upgrade costs 116 FPS but remains entirely playable.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings remain viable with an average of 67 FPS, which is 7 FPS above the playable threshold. This is the only resolution where the Ultra preset comes within close proximity to 60 FPS, and users who prioritize guaranteed smoothness over absolute maximum quality might opt for High settings at 87 FPS, which provides a 20 FPS buffer over Ultra while still maintaining high visual fidelity. The 4K Medium preset at 109 FPS offers the best combination of frame rate headroom and quality for users with 100Hz+ 4K displays, though the measured minimum of 92 FPS at Medium confirms strong consistency.
