Fivem

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a dominant performance profile in Fivem, with measured frame rates that comfortably exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold across every tested resolution and settings combination. The benchmark data reveals a system that scales predictably with graphical demands, offering a wide operational envelope from 333 FPS at 1080p Low to 60 FPS at 4K Ultra. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, examines the division of labor between CPU and GPU, identifies optimal settings per resolution, and contextualizes the combo's standing among tested hardware.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces extraordinary frame rates that highlight the headroom available at lower resolutions. The Low preset yields an average of 333 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 263 FPS with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 302 FPS. The High preset averages 210 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 163 FPS. These figures indicate that even the most demanding settings at 1080p leave significant performance in reserve, with the Ultra preset still running at nearly triple the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust but shows the expected scaling with increased pixel count. The Low preset averages 219 FPS, Medium averages 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 199 FPS. High settings produce 138 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 107 FPS. The 1440p results demonstrate that the RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are more than adequate for this resolution, with even the Ultra preset maintaining a 47 FPS margin above the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable performance at every preset, though the margins tighten considerably. The Low preset averages 122 FPS, Medium averages 96 FPS with a minimum of 82 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS. High settings produce 77 FPS average, and Ultra averages exactly 60 FPS. The 4K Ultra result sits precisely at the playable threshold, indicating that this is the boundary of the combo's capabilities, while the Medium and High presets provide comfortable cushions of 36 and 17 FPS respectively.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling patterns across resolutions reveal a system where the GPU becomes progressively more influential as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is 170 FPS (333 versus 163), which suggests that the Intel Core i7-12700KF with its 12 cores and 20 threads is capable of feeding the RTX 4080 sufficiently at lower resolutions, where the GPU's rasterization workload is less demanding. The CPU's 3dmark_max_threads score of 9983 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 28838 indicate substantial processing headroom for the game's multiplayer logic and physics simulation.

As resolution climbs to 2560x1440, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 112 FPS (219 versus 107), reflecting the greater burden placed on the GPU's 9728 shading units and 304 texture mapping units. The RTX 4080's 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance becomes the limiting factor at higher pixel counts, though the CPU still contributes meaningfully to maintaining minimum frame rates. The 2560x1440 Medium preset's minimum of 147 FPS versus the 3840x2160 Medium preset's minimum of 82 FPS shows how the GPU's pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s is increasingly taxed at 4K.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role is dominant, with the Low-to-Ultra spread compressing to 62 FPS (122 versus 60). This compression indicates that the RTX 4080's 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth and 256-bit bus width are the primary constraints at 4K, while the CPU's single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 1043) remains sufficient for the game's frame pacing. The i7-12700KF's 5.00 GHz boost clock provides adequate responsiveness for multiplayer scenarios, but the data shows that resolution scaling is the primary driver of performance variation.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the optimal choice, delivering an average of 163 FPS. This represents the most demanding settings configuration that maintains a substantial margin above the 60 FPS threshold, with 103 FPS of headroom. The Low preset's 333 FPS average demonstrates the upper ceiling of the combo, but Ultra provides the best visual quality without sacrificing the high refresh rate experience.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again qualifies as the best setting, averaging 107 FPS. This provides a 47 FPS cushion over the playability threshold, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors while retaining maximum graphical fidelity. The Medium preset's 173 FPS average is available for users prioritizing frame rate, but the Ultra setting's performance remains well within acceptable bounds for competitive multiplayer.

For 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages exactly 60 FPS, meeting the playable threshold precisely. This makes Ultra the most demanding playable setting, though the margin is minimal. The High preset at 77 FPS average offers a more comfortable 17 FPS cushion for users who prefer stability over absolute visual quality. The Medium preset at 96 FPS provides the best balance of visual fidelity and performance headroom at 4K, with a minimum of 82 FPS ensuring consistent frame delivery.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this system can run Fivem at all tested resolutions and presets, with the verdictByResolution field listing High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable settings for every resolution. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset achieves exactly 60 FPS average, meeting the playable threshold without exceeding it, while the High preset provides 77 FPS and Medium provides 96 FPS for more comfortable margins. The 2560x1440 resolution sees Ultra averaging 107 FPS, and 1920x1080 Ultra averages 163 FPS, both substantially above the 60 FPS requirement.

The combo's rank of 220 out of 3707 tested combinations places it in the upper echelon of performance, with the 85th percentile standing among CPUs and 86th percentile among GPUs. This positioning indicates that the i7-12700KF and RTX 4080 combination is well-matched for Fivem's demands, with neither component creating a significant bottleneck at standard resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the system operates at its performance ceiling, but the availability of lower presets ensures playability across all scenarios.
