Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT lands at rank 391 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top quarter of all configurations. This is a substantial gap between the CPU and GPU tiers, with the processor sitting at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs while the graphics card reaches the 82nd percentile among all GPUs. The ranking suggests that in this specific multiplayer title, the combination outperforms its modest CPU pedigree, though it leaves significant performance on the table in lower-resolution scenarios where the processor becomes the primary constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s 391st position out of 1792 tested configurations places it comfortably ahead of the median, but the data reveals an interesting asymmetry. The RX 7900 XT is an end-of-life flagship-class GPU, ranking at the 82nd percentile with an average benchmark score of 38358, while the i3-12100F ranks at the 72nd percentile with an average score of 13516. In Fivem’s measured results, the combo outperforms what either component’s individual percentile might suggest, indicating that the game’s engine responds well to the GPU’s raw throughput even when paired with a budget quad-core processor. The nearest CPU rivals include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX (deltaPct -0.1), Intel Core i7-1250U (deltaPct 0.4), and Intel Core i3-10105 (deltaPct 0.6), showing the i3-12100F sits in a tightly contested performance bracket. On the GPU side, the RX 7900 XT sits within 0.6% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile and essentially tied with the RTX 5080 Mobile (deltaPct 0), which contextualizes its capability in this title.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i3-12100F is a 4-core, 8-thread Alder Lake-S processor with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 per core are typical for the Core i3 tier, and the chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. Benchmark data shows a single-thread score of 893 in 3DMark and 1681 in Cinebench R23, which are strong figures for a quad-core, but multithreaded results like the 3DMark 16-thread score of 4051 and Cinebench R23 multicore of 11912 reveal the physical core limitation. In Fivem, the CPU’s role becomes evident when examining the measured FPS across settings: at 1080p Low, the combo hits 279.8 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra, it drops to 136.5 FPS. This 143.3 FPS swing is driven by the CPU’s inability to feed the GPU enough draw calls and entity updates at lower settings, where the rendering workload shrinks and the processor’s 4 cores become the bottleneck. The chip’s 58W TDP and active production status suggest it is designed for efficiency, yet Fivem’s multiplayer environments with many players and vehicles can push even a well-clocked quad-core to its limits.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 31 chip, fabricated on TSMC’s 5 nm process with 57,700 million transistors. It features 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 800.0 GB/s of bandwidth, along with 5376 shading units, 336 TMUs, and 192 ROPs. The GPU’s boost clock of 2394 MHz and game clock of 2025 MHz, combined with 51.48 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, make it a formidable rasterization powerhouse. In Fivem, the GPU’s role is most apparent at higher resolutions: at 4K Ultra, the combo produces 49.2 FPS, while at 4K Low, it reaches 104 FPS. The 54.8 FPS difference between these settings highlights how the GPU’s pixel throughput and memory bandwidth scale with visual fidelity. The 800 GB/s bandwidth is particularly relevant for Fivem’s open-world streaming, where high-resolution textures and distant geometry require fast memory access. The GPU’s nearest rivals include the RTX 5080 Mobile (deltaPct 0), CMP 70HX (deltaPct 0.3), and MX570 (deltaPct -0.4), though none of these are direct desktop comparisons, underscoring the 7900 XT’s position at the top of the consumer stack.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 279.8 FPS on Low settings, 220.3 FPS on Medium, 175.3 FPS on High, and 136.5 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a consistent scaling pattern, with each step up in settings costing roughly 40-45 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the results are 182.9 FPS on Low, 144.1 FPS on Medium, 117 FPS on High, and 89.9 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p figures represent a substantial drop from 1080p, with the Low setting losing 96.9 FPS and Ultra losing 46.6 FPS, indicating a shift toward GPU limitation. At 3840x2160, the combo produces 104 FPS on Low, 78 FPS on Medium, 67 FPS on High, and 49.2 FPS on Ultra. The 4K results show the GPU’s dominance, as the difference between Low and Ultra is 54.8 FPS, nearly matching the 1080p spread but at a much lower absolute level. The data reveals that at 1080p, the CPU caps performance even at Ultra, while at 4K, the GPU’s workload becomes the limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steepest at Low settings, where performance falls from 279.8 FPS to 104 FPS, a 62.8% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is from 136.5 FPS to 49.2 FPS, a 63.9% reduction. These similar percentage declines across settings indicate that the scaling is resolution-bound rather than setting-bound. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the CPU is the bottleneck—the 4-core i3-12100F cannot push beyond 279.8 FPS regardless of the GPU’s capability, as evidenced by the fact that the 7900 XT is capable of far higher frame rates in less CPU-intensive titles. At 1440p, the balance shifts: the 182.9 FPS Low result still shows CPU limitation, but the 89.9 FPS Ultra result begins to reflect GPU pressure. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting component, with the 104 FPS Low result demonstrating that even a top-tier GPU like the 7900 XT is fully utilized at this resolution. The scaling pattern suggests that for Fivem, the ideal pairing would be a stronger CPU for 1080p and 1440p play, while the 4K results are GPU-bound and benefit from the 20 GB frame buffer and 800 GB/s bandwidth. The combo’s rank of 391 out of 1792 reflects this compromise—it offers excellent 4K performance but leaves performance on the table at lower resolutions where the CPU cannot keep pace.
