Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a performance profile in Fivem that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics settings. The measured data shows a clear hierarchy: lower resolutions and settings yield dramatically higher frame rates, while the combination scales down predictably as graphical load increases. This analysis breaks down the measured rows to explain what the numbers indicate about the system’s behavior.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, revealing where the bottleneck shifts. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 162.2 at 1920x1080 to 109.9 at 2560x1440, then to 59.4 at 3840x2160. That represents a 32.3% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45.9% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, indicating that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the same pattern emerges but with higher absolute numbers. The average FPS at 1080p Low is 260.3, dropping to 170.3 at 1440p and 91.6 at 4K. The percentage drops are similar—34.6% from 1080p to 1440p and 46.2% from 1440p to 4K—but the fact that Low settings still produce 91.6 FPS at 4K suggests the GPU has significant headroom when graphical effects are minimized.

The gap between settings widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 131.3 FPS (260.3 vs 129). At 4K, that gap shrinks to 42.8 FPS (91.6 vs 48.8). This compression indicates that at 4K, the GPU is the limiting factor regardless of settings, whereas at 1080p, the CPU’s role becomes more prominent. The data supports a reading where the RTX 4070’s 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K, but the overall rendering load cuts deeply into frame rates.

CPU Role

The Core i3-12100F is a 4-core, 8-thread processor with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its benchmark scores show a strong single-thread capability: a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1681 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2224. Multi-thread performance is more modest, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11912 and a Passmark multithread score of 14015. The 3DMark results are telling: the 4-thread score is 2859, while the 8-thread score jumps to 4026, and the max-thread score is 4023. This suggests that the processor scales well up to 8 threads but gains little beyond that.

In Fivem, a multiplayer game, the CPU’s single-thread strength appears to drive the high frame rates at 1080p. At 1080p Low, the system hits 260.3 FPS, which is far beyond what the GPU alone would typically produce at that resolution. This indicates the CPU is feeding the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. However, the 4-core design means that at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is saturated, the CPU’s limitation is less relevant—the frame rate drops to 48.8, which aligns with GPU-bound behavior.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 72 among all CPUs places it comfortably above average, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX, scores only 0.1% higher on average. This is an unusual comparison—a low-core-count desktop chip matching a high-end workstation part in average benchmark score—but it underscores the i3-12100F’s efficiency. For Fivem specifically, the data suggests that the CPU is not the primary constraint at higher resolutions, but at 1080p, its 4.30 GHz boost clock and solid single-thread performance are likely why the system can exceed 200 FPS on Medium settings.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node and 35,800 million transistors. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU’s boost clock is 2475 MHz, and it delivers 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. These specifications translate into a Passmark G3D score of 26927 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854.

In Fivem, the GPU’s role becomes dominant as resolution increases. At 4K High, the average FPS is 59.4, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold many users target. At 4K Ultra, it falls to 48.8. These numbers indicate that the RTX 4070, while powerful, cannot maintain high refresh rates at 4K with maximum settings in this game. The drop from High to Ultra at 4K is 10.6 FPS (59.4 to 48.8), which is a 17.8% reduction—a notable penalty for the extra graphical fidelity.

At 1440p, the GPU shows more headroom. High settings produce 109.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 81.5 FPS. The 28.4 FPS difference between High and Ultra at 1440p suggests that Ultra settings impose a significant load, but the card still delivers playable frame rates. The GPU’s percentile rank of 81 among all GPUs places it in the upper tier, though its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, scores 0.6% higher on average. This close margin in synthetic benchmarks does not fully capture Fivem’s behavior, where the measured FPS shows clear GPU scaling.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear picture of which settings offer the best experience. At 1080p, the system is capable of very high frame rates: Low produces 260.3 FPS, Medium 204.9 FPS, High 162.2 FPS, and Ultra 129 FPS. All of these are well above 60 FPS, so users with 1080p displays can prioritize visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. Ultra at 129 FPS is the most demanding option, but it still leaves enough headroom for a 120 Hz monitor.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts. High settings yield 109.9 FPS, which is excellent for a 1440p panel. Medium produces 137.7 FPS, and Low reaches 170.3 FPS. Ultra drops to 81.5 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 25.8% reduction from High. For users targeting 144 Hz at 1440p, Medium or Low would be necessary, but High offers a balanced experience at around 110 FPS.

At 4K, the choices are more constrained. High settings produce 59.4 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS target. Medium yields 73.5 FPS, offering a smoother experience with a moderate visual compromise. Low reaches 91.6 FPS, which is the only setting that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS at 4K. Ultra at 48.8 FPS is below the smoothness threshold and is not recommended. The data indicates that Medium is the sweet spot at 4K, providing 73.5 FPS while retaining more visual detail than Low.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i3-12100F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 449th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the top 25.1% of all configurations tested. The rank reflects the system’s ability to handle the game across a range of resolutions, with particular strength at 1080p and 1440p.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 13516 puts it in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are within 1.8% of its score. The GPU’s average score of 37283 places it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. This combination of a mid-range CPU and a high-end GPU results in a system that is well-balanced for Fivem at most settings, though the 4K Ultra row shows the limits of the pairing.

The rank of 449 out of 1792 is not a top-tier placement, but it is respectable given that many combos in the database likely feature more powerful CPUs or GPUs. The data suggests that the i3-12100F does not bottleneck the RTX 4070 at higher resolutions, but at 1080p, the CPU’s 4 cores may limit the GPU’s potential to push even higher frame rates. The 1080p Low result of 260.3 FPS is strong, but it is unclear if a stronger CPU would yield substantially more.
