Fivem

The Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 pairing delivers a wide range of performance in Fivem, scaling from a demanding 4K experience to a high-refresh-rate 1080p setup. The data shows a clear pattern: the combination is capable of 60 FPS or more at every tested resolution, but only at specific quality presets. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, answers common questions, and provides guidance on the best settings for each resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the RTX 4060 and i7-12700KF combination shows its limits. The average frame rate at Ultra settings is 34.2 FPS, which falls well below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Dropping to High settings improves the average to 41.9 FPS, still short of playable. The Medium preset yields a 56.4 FPS average, a marginal improvement that remains below the target. Only the Low preset achieves a playable 70.0 FPS average, making it the sole viable option at this resolution.

The 2560x1440 (1440p) results show a substantial improvement. The Ultra preset averages 60.6 FPS, just barely clearing the playable threshold. The High preset delivers a much more comfortable 75.9 FPS average, while Medium reaches 97.3 FPS. The Low preset produces a 126.1 FPS average, indicating that the hardware has significant headroom at lower settings. This resolution offers the most balanced range of playable options.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the combination performs exceptionally well. The Ultra preset averages 90.4 FPS, providing a smooth experience with maximum visual quality. The High preset reaches 121.1 FPS, and Medium jumps to 150.3 FPS. The Low preset produces an 188.5 FPS average, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Across all 1080p presets, the frame rates are consistently above 60 FPS, with the hardware demonstrating strong scaling from 4K to 1080p.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest quality setting that maintains at least 60 FPS at 4K?

A: The only playable setting at 3840x2160 is Low, which produces an average of 70.0 FPS. All higher presets—Medium, High, and Ultra—fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 1440p with maximum settings?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 188.5 FPS, which is 98.1 FPS higher than the Ultra preset's 90.4 FPS average. This represents more than a doubling of frame rate when switching to the lowest quality settings.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 4K according to the data?

A: The best settings at 3840x2160 are Low, as it is the only preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold, achieving an average of 70.0 FPS.

Q: At which resolution does the Ultra preset first become playable?

A: The Ultra preset becomes playable at 2560x1440, where it averages 60.6 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset only reaches 34.2 FPS.

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combination?

A: The highest average FPS is 188.5, achieved at 1920x1080 with the Low preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 70.0 FPS. This is the only playable configuration at 4K, as the Medium, High, and Ultra presets all fail to reach the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 60.6 FPS. This just barely meets the playability requirement, so users seeking a more consistent frame rate may prefer the High preset, which averages 75.9 FPS.

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is recommendable, as it averages 90.4 FPS. This provides maximum visual quality while maintaining well above the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that this resolution allows for the highest settings without compromising playability.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-12700KF has an average benchmark score of 35365. The Intel Core i7-13700T scores 35403, a negligible 0.1% difference. The Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35305, 0.2% lower. The Intel Core 5 213PE scores 35428, also a 0.2% difference. Finally, the Intel Core i7-12700K scores 35287, which is 0.2% lower than the 12700KF. These rivals would behave nearly identically in Fivem, as the performance deltas are within a fraction of a percent.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 17639. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666, 0.2% higher), the AMD Radeon 780M (17588, 0.3% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (17551, 0.5% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 (17509, 0.7% lower). These GPUs would offer similar frame rates in Fivem, with the RTX 4060 holding a marginal edge in some cases. The data suggests that swapping to any of these alternatives would result in a nearly indistinguishable gaming experience.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly indicates that this PC can run Fivem, but the playable settings vary significantly by resolution. At 3840x2160, the combination only clears the 60 FPS threshold with the Low preset, which averages 70.0 FPS. The Ultra, High, and Medium presets all fail to reach playable frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the system is fully playable across all presets. The Ultra preset is the most demanding option that maintains 60 FPS, averaging 60.6 FPS. This resolution provides a good balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 1920x1080, the combination excels, with all presets averaging well above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset achieves 90.4 FPS, while the Low preset reaches 188.5 FPS. This makes 1080p the ideal resolution for this hardware, offering smooth gameplay at any quality level.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 1989th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database. The percentile data for the individual components shows the CPU ranks in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile among all GPUs. This suggests the CPU is a stronger performer relative to its peers than the GPU, which may explain why the combination ranks higher in CPU-bound scenarios. The rank indicates that while this setup is capable of playing Fivem, many other hardware combinations deliver higher frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals distinct performance scaling patterns that indicate which component matters more at each resolution. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are heavily constrained by the GPU. The difference between Low (70.0 FPS) and Ultra (34.2 FPS) is 35.8 FPS, showing that the GPU struggles with the increased pixel count and higher settings. The CPU's high percentile ranking (85th) cannot compensate for the GPU's workload at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts. The Ultra preset averages 60.6 FPS, which is a significant improvement over the 4K Ultra result. The scaling from 4K to 1440p at Ultra settings is a 26.4 FPS increase, indicating that the GPU is less of a bottleneck. The CPU begins to play a more significant role, as the frame rates scale more predictably with settings changes.

At 1920x1080, the CPU becomes the more critical component. The Low preset produces 188.5 FPS, which is far beyond what the GPU would be expected to deliver at higher resolutions. The scaling from 1440p Low (126.1 FPS) to 1080p Low (188.5 FPS) is a 62.4 FPS increase, suggesting the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. The GPU's 61st percentile ranking becomes less relevant, as the CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread performance (evidenced by its 3DMark and Cinebench scores) drives the high frame rates. The data implies that for Fivem, the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p, while the GPU takes precedence at 4K.
