Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an unusual combination: a 4-core, 8-thread CPU from the Alder Lake generation alongside a flagship Ada Lovelace GPU. In Fivem, a multiplayer title, this pairing produces measured frame rates that range from 64.8 FPS at 4K Ultra to 300.4 FPS at 1080p Low. The combo ranks 60th out of 1792 tested combinations, indicating a strong overall performance profile. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $97, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 1,599 USD.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The i3-12100F operates at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, with 4 cores and 8 threads. Its 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 58 W TDP place it as a low-power desktop part. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11912 and a single-core score of 1681. Its average benchmark score is 13516, which places it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX (13534) and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i7-1250U (13462). The CPU's single-thread performance is particularly relevant for Fivem, which is a multiplayer mod that often relies on a few fast cores. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 300.4, suggesting that the CPU can drive high frame rates when the GPU is not the bottleneck. However, the 4-core/8-thread configuration may limit performance in crowded server scenarios, though the data does not directly measure that. The CPU's multi-thread score of 11912 in Cinebench R23 indicates that it can handle moderate parallel workloads, but the game's performance is more dependent on single-thread speed, as evidenced by the high FPS at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear trend: as resolution increases, average FPS drops across all settings. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 300.4 at 1080p to 239.4 at 1440p and 134.4 at 4K. At Ultra, the values are 182.9, 118.2, and 64.8 respectively. The drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, indicating that the RTX 4090's rendering load increases significantly with pixel count. At 1080p, the high FPS values (300.4 at Low) suggest that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU, but the GPU is not the limiting factor at that resolution. At 4K, the FPS drops to 64.8 at Ultra, which is still above 60, but the GPU is clearly the primary constraint. The scaling pattern indicates that the CPU's 4-core/8-thread configuration is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at lower resolutions, but at higher resolutions the GPU's performance dominates. The difference between 1080p and 1440p at Low is 61 FPS (300.4 to 239.4), while the difference between 1440p and 4K is 105 FPS (239.4 to 134.4). This non-linear scaling suggests that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises, while the CPU's contribution remains relatively constant.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo ranks 60th out of 1792 tested combinations in Fivem, placing it in the top tier of systems tested. This rank is notably higher than the CPU's 72nd percentile, indicating that the GPU's 91st percentile performance compensates for the CPU's more modest standing. The combination of a high-end GPU with a mid-range CPU proves effective in this game, as the measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (182.9) and 1440p Ultra (118.2) are well above typical refresh rates. The CPU's average benchmark score of 13516 is only 0.1% below the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX, yet the combo's rank in Fivem is 60th, which suggests that the game's performance is more dependent on the GPU than on raw CPU throughput. The RTX 4090's average benchmark score of 66473 places it at the 91st percentile, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla T4, scores 66733 (0.4% higher), but the RTX 4090's gaming performance in Fivem is clearly strong, as evidenced by the measured FPS.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Across all resolutions, the Ultra preset delivers the highest visual quality while maintaining playable frame rates. At 4K, Ultra averages 64.8 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Ultra reaches 118.2 FPS, and at 1080p, it hits 182.9 FPS. For players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, the Low preset offers the highest FPS, with 300.4 at 1080p and 134.4 at 4K. However, the data shows that the Ultra preset is the only one that keeps the average above 60 FPS at 4K, making it the recommended choice for a balanced experience. At 1440p, even the Medium preset delivers 189.8 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 1080p, all presets exceed 180 FPS, so the choice between Medium, High, and Ultra depends on whether visual quality or frame rate is prioritized. The measured FPS at 1080p Medium (279.3) and High (230) are both above 200, indicating that the CPU is not a limiting factor at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 84.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 134.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 103.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 64.8 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 154.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 239.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 189.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 118.2 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 230 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 300.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 279.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 182.9 |

The data shows a consistent pattern: at each resolution, the Low preset yields the highest FPS, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra. The largest gap between presets occurs at 1080p, where Low (300.4) is 117.5 FPS higher than Ultra (182.9). At 4K, the gap narrows to 69.6 FPS (134.4 Low vs 64.8 Ultra). This suggests that the GPU's performance headroom is more fully utilized at higher resolutions, while at 1080p the CPU's 4-core/8-thread configuration may be the limiting factor, as the FPS does not scale linearly with the GPU's capabilities. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (300.4) is close to the CPU's single-thread score of 1681 in Cinebench R23, indicating that the CPU is likely the bottleneck at that setting. At 4K, the GPU's rendering load dominates, and the FPS is more dependent on the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth.
