Fivem

This PC configuration, pairing the Intel Core i7-12700KF with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, delivers a decisive performance victory in Fivem, clearing the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset combination measured. The data indicates that this hardware combination is not just playable but excessively capable, with average frame rates ranging from a comfortable 64.7 FPS at 4K Ultra to a staggering 350.1 FPS at 1080p Low.

The performance headroom is substantial. Even at the most demanding setting tested, 3840x2160 Ultra, the system maintains an average of 64.7 FPS, which is above the playable threshold. This suggests that users have significant flexibility to prioritize visual fidelity without compromising smooth gameplay. The measured FPS data is comprehensive, covering three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a clear picture of the system's scaling capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for Fivem show a clear and consistent pattern of high performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the system operates at exceptionally high frame rates, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The data shows an average of 350.1 FPS on Low settings, 280.8 FPS on Medium, 221.2 FPS on High, and 171.2 FPS on Ultra. These figures demonstrate that at 1080p, the GPU is rarely the limiting factor, and the frame rates are primarily bound by the CPU's single-thread performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains remarkably high, though the scaling from 1080p shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. The average frame rates are 229.9 FPS on Low, 180.6 FPS on Medium, 147.5 FPS on High, and 114 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is roughly 34-35% across all presets, which is a typical reduction for a GPU-bound scenario at these resolutions. The system still maintains a massive cushion above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the Ultra preset nearly doubling the playable mark.

At 3840x2160, the demands on the GPU become much more significant, yet the system still delivers excellent results. The data shows an average of 127.2 FPS on Low settings, 100.3 FPS on Medium, 77.3 FPS on High, and 64.7 FPS on Ultra. The performance scaling from 1440p to 4K is steeper, with a 44-45% reduction in frame rates across the presets, reflecting the 2.25x increase in pixel count. The 4K Ultra result of 64.7 FPS is the only configuration that falls below the 100 FPS mark, but it still comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS playability threshold.

The lack of min and max FPS data means that the analysis relies solely on average frame rates. This is a limitation, as average FPS can mask occasional stutters or frame time spikes. However, given the very high average values observed, it is reasonable to infer that the system maintains consistent performance, as the margin above the threshold is substantial enough to absorb most transient dips.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data across resolutions and presets clearly delineates the roles of the CPU and GPU in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the system's frame rates are extraordinarily high, which strongly suggests a CPU-bound scenario. The jump from 221.2 FPS on High to 350.1 FPS on Low is a 58% increase, indicating that lowering graphical settings has a significant impact on reducing GPU load, but the CPU is still capable of feeding frames at over 350 FPS. This points to the Intel Core i7-12700KF's strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 1043 and Passmark single-thread score of 3984, being a critical factor.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly towards the GPU, but the CPU still plays a dominant role. The frame rates remain exceptionally high, with the 114 FPS Ultra result being more than enough for smooth gameplay. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a consistent reduction across all presets, which indicates that the GPU is starting to become more of a limiting factor, but the CPU's performance headroom means it is not yet a bottleneck. The i7-12700KF's 20 threads and 12 cores provide ample parallel processing power for the game's simulation and logic tasks.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the primary performance determinant. The significant drop in frame rates, particularly at Ultra (64.7 FPS) compared to 1080p Ultra (171.2 FPS), demonstrates the heavy load placed on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. This is consistent with the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth, which are taxed by the higher resolution's increased pixel and texture data. The CPU's role diminishes, as the frame rates are now constrained by the GPU's rendering capabilities rather than the CPU's processing speed.

The measured FPS data also highlights the scaling between presets. At 4K, the difference between Low (127.2 FPS) and Ultra (64.7 FPS) is a 49% reduction, showing that the Ultra preset's additional graphical effects significantly impact GPU performance. In contrast, at 1080p, the same preset change results in a 51% reduction (from 350.1 to 171.2 FPS), which is a similar proportional drop, but the absolute numbers are much higher because the CPU is not as strained at lower resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

The optimal settings for this system are defined by the highest quality preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold. According to the measured data, the system is capable of running the Ultra preset at all three resolutions tested, making it the clear best choice for users who prioritize visual quality.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 171.2 FPS. This is the most demanding setting, yet the frame rate is over 2.8 times the playable threshold. This makes Ultra the definitive best setting for 1080p, as there is no performance penalty for choosing the highest quality visuals. The system has so much headroom that users could even consider enabling additional supersampling or higher render scales if available in the game's options, though this is not part of the measured data.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 114 FPS. This is still a very high frame rate that comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by 90%. The performance is smooth and responsive, making Ultra the recommended setting for 1440p. The data shows that even with all settings maxed out, the system has significant spare capacity, which could be beneficial for maintaining consistent frame times in busy multiplayer scenarios.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset yields an average of 64.7 FPS. This is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below the 100 FPS mark, but it still clears the playable threshold by a margin of 7.8%. For 4K gaming, Ultra is the best setting that meets the 60 FPS criterion. Users who prefer higher frame rates could drop to High, which delivers 77.3 FPS, or Medium at 100.3 FPS, but the data confirms that Ultra is viable for a 60 FPS experience.

The Verdict

The verdict is unequivocal: this PC configuration can run Fivem exceptionally well. The verdictByResolution data confirms that all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable at every resolution tested, with average frame rates always above the 60 FPS threshold. The system's worst-case scenario is 3840x2160 Ultra at 64.7 FPS, which is still playable, and its best-case scenario is 1920x1080 Low at 350.1 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can even show.

At 1920x1080, the system is overkill for Fivem. Even at Ultra settings, the 171.2 FPS average is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate monitor, and the 350.1 FPS at Low settings suggests that the CPU is the primary limiter at this resolution. At 2560x1440, the system remains highly capable, with the Ultra preset delivering 114 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors. The performance is so strong that users are unlikely to encounter any situations where frame rates dip below the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system still passes the 60 FPS test at Ultra, but the margin is much thinner. The 64.7 FPS average is above the threshold, but users who are sensitive to frame rate fluctuations might prefer High settings at 77.3 FPS or Medium at 100.3 FPS for a more stable experience. Overall, the data indicates that this is a top-tier configuration for Fivem, placing in the 166th rank out of 3707 tested combinations, which puts it in the top 4.5% of all systems tested for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Radeon 8060S (55757, 0.6% delta) and AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698, 0.7% delta) are also close, with performance within 0.7% of the RTX 5080. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54828, 2.3% delta) is the farthest behind but still within a reasonable margin.

These alternatives mean that users with any of these GPUs would experience very similar performance in Fivem. The deltaPct values indicate that the RTX 5080's closest competitor, the RX 9070 GRE, would be about 2.2% faster on average, which translates to roughly 1-2 FPS at 4K Ultra and 3-4 FPS at 1080p Low. This is a negligible difference in practice, and all of these GPUs would provide an excellent Fivem experience.
