Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core i3-12100F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB

This combination of an Intel Core i3-12100F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB produces a wide spread of frame rates in Fivem, ranging from 41 FPS at 4K Ultra to 221.2 FPS at 1080p Low. The data reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, but with notable performance cliffs at the highest configurations. The combo ranks 744th out of 1792 tested combinations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database for this multiplayer title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, but the magnitude varies considerably. At High settings, the transition from 1920x1080 (139.3 FPS) to 3840x2160 (48 FPS) represents a 65.5% reduction in average frame rate. This steep decline indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count increases, which is expected given the 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory interface.

Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at High settings yields a drop from 88.8 FPS to 48 FPS, a 45.9% reduction. This is a larger relative loss than the 1080p to 1440p transition, which sees 139.3 FPS fall to 88.8 FPS — a 36.3% decrease. The scaling pattern suggests that the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB handles 1440p competently but begins to struggle at 4K, particularly when texture quality and other memory-intensive features are enabled.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is more forgiving. The 1080p result of 221.2 FPS drops to 145.3 FPS at 1440p (34.3% reduction) and further to 77.6 FPS at 4K (46.6% reduction from 1440p). The fact that Low settings at 4K still achieves 77.6 FPS indicates that the GPU has sufficient raw compute headroom; the bottleneck at higher settings is likely memory bandwidth and capacity rather than shader throughput.

Ultra settings produce the most dramatic scaling losses. From 107.7 FPS at 1080p, the frame rate falls to 71.6 FPS at 1440p (33.5% drop) and then plummets to 41 FPS at 4K (42.7% drop from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 41 FPS is the lowest figure in the entire dataset, suggesting that this configuration exceeds the comfortable operating envelope of the 8 GB VRAM buffer.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB features 4352 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units, built on the AD106 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture. Its boost clock reaches 2535 MHz, with a base clock of 2310 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth — a figure that appears to be a limiting factor in Fivem's higher-resolution, higher-settings configurations.

The GPU's pixel rate of 121.7 GPixel/s and texture rate of 344.8 GTexel/s provide ample fill rate for 1080p and 1440p gaming. However, at 4K Ultra, the combination of increased pixel count and memory pressure from higher-quality textures exposes the bandwidth limitation. The 41 FPS result at 4K Ultra versus 48 FPS at 4K High — a mere 7 FPS difference — suggests that the GPU is already near its memory bandwidth ceiling at these resolutions, and further quality increases yield diminishing returns.

Interestingly, the GPU's FP32 performance of 22.06 TFLOPS is substantial, yet the measured results show that this compute capability does not translate to proportional frame rate gains at 4K. This reinforces the interpretation that memory bandwidth, not compute throughput, is the primary constraint in this game at high resolutions. The 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is shared across a 128-bit interface, which is narrow by modern standards, and Fivem's multiplayer environments with many player models and dynamic objects appear to stress this subsystem heavily.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 17 among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 2913, places it in a modest position. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M, matches its score exactly with a 0% deltaPct, while the RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB variant scores 2907 (0.2% higher deltaPct). This indicates that the 8 GB version's performance profile is not significantly different from the 16 GB version in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, though the 8 GB capacity may still impact real-world gaming scenarios differently.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i3-12100F provides 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and boost clock of 4.30 GHz. This Alder Lake-S architecture chip features 12 MB of shared L3 cache, with 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. Its 58 W TDP and dual-channel memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 position it as a budget-conscious but capable processor.

The CPU's Cinebench R23 results show a multicore score of 11912 and a single-core score of 1681. These figures indicate strong single-thread performance, which is often critical for multiplayer games like Fivem that may have serialized game logic or physics threads. The single-thread score of 1681 is particularly relevant, as it suggests the 4.30 GHz boost clock provides adequate headroom for game logic that cannot easily utilize multiple cores.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p Low settings, where the system achieves 221.2 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is not the bottleneck. However, the fact that 1080p Ultra only reaches 107.7 FPS — lower than 1440p High's 88.8 FPS — suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor at higher settings; rather, the GPU's memory and rendering capabilities cap performance.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX (average score 13534, deltaPct -0.1%) and the Intel Core i7-7700K (average score 13280, deltaPct 1.8%). The i3-12100F's average benchmark score of 13516 places it within 0.1% of the Threadripper, which is notable given the massive core-count disparity. This suggests that Fivem's performance is not primarily core-count-bound, and the i3's 4.30 GHz boost clock compensates for its limited thread count in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 744th out of 1792 tested configurations in Fivem, placing it in the 58.5th percentile of all combos in the database. This ranking reflects a system that is capable of smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p across most settings, but falls short of top-tier performance at 4K or maximum quality presets.

The rank of 744 suggests that this pairing is well-balanced for its intended market segment, but not exceptional. In the context of the database's full range of combinations, it sits above the median but well below the top performers. The GPU's modest percentile ranking (17th among all GPUs) and the CPU's stronger percentile ranking (72nd among all CPUs) indicate that the CPU is relatively more capable than the GPU in this pairing, which is reflected in the scaling behavior observed in the FPS data.

For a multiplayer title like Fivem, the 744th rank out of 1792 combos means that a significant number of configurations deliver higher frame rates, particularly those with more powerful GPUs and higher VRAM capacities. However, the measured data shows that this combo still achieves playable frame rates at 1440p High (88.8 FPS) and even 4K Medium (62.6 FPS), making it a viable option for users who prioritize resolution over maximum settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers excellent performance across all settings. Low settings achieve 221.2 FPS, Medium reaches 171.4 FPS, High produces 139.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 107.7 FPS. The 1080p results show a clear progression where each quality tier reduces frame rate by roughly 20-30 FPS, indicating consistent scaling without any unexpected bottlenecks.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show more pronounced differences between settings. Low settings hit 145.3 FPS, Medium achieves 115.9 FPS, High produces 88.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 71.6 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 1440p is 27.1 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 17.2 FPS — suggesting that the High-to-Ultra transition has a smaller performance cost than Medium-to-High at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops become more severe. Low settings still manage 77.6 FPS, Medium reaches 62.6 FPS, High produces 48 FPS, and Ultra falls to 41 FPS. The 4K results show that the system is playable at Low and Medium settings, marginally playable at High, and borderline at Ultra. The difference between 4K Medium and 4K High is 14.6 FPS, while the difference between High and Ultra is only 7 FPS — indicating that the Ultra preset at 4K provides diminishing returns relative to its performance cost.

The full dataset reveals that the most efficient configuration is 1080p Low at 221.2 FPS, which provides the highest frame rate by a significant margin. The least efficient is 4K Ultra at 41 FPS, which offers the lowest performance despite the highest quality settings. Between these extremes, the 1440p Medium result of 115.9 FPS represents a balanced sweet spot, offering good visual quality while maintaining frame rates above 100 FPS.
