Fivem

The Intel Core i3-12100F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 form a lopsided combo in Fivem: a quad-core CPU from the Alder Lake generation paired with a Blackwell 2.0 GPU. The measured results show the GPU dominating when the resolution climbs, but at 1080p the CPU's 4 cores / 8 threads become the bottleneck. Across the data, this pair delivers 278 FPS at 1080p Low, 219 FPS at 1080p Medium, 175 FPS at 1080p High, and 136 FPS at 1080p Ultra. At 1440p the averages fall to 183 FPS (Low), 144 FPS (Medium), 116 FPS (High), and 90 FPS (Ultra). At 4K the GPU turns out heavy work: 102 FPS (Low), 80 FPS (Medium), 64 FPS (High), and 50 FPS (Ultra). The combo ranks 764 out of 3,707 tested configurations, placing it comfortably ahead of the median.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 provides 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth—sufficient for Fivem’s demanding draw calls and large multiplayer maps. At High settings in 1080p, the GPU’s measured peak is 175 FPS, while Ultra yields 136 FPS. The GPU’s Boost 2512 MHz and memory clocks 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) drive these figures.

Looking at the load, the data demonstrates a CPU bottleneck at 1080p. The gap between Low and High is only 103 FPS—278 versus 175—which is far smaller than the same gap at 4K, where Low (102 FPS) and High (64 FPS) differ by 44 FPS. This shows that at 1080p, the 4-core CPU limits the frame rate before the GPU can fully utilize its shading units, 6144, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. Once resolution rises to 4K, the per‑pixel workload shifts to the GPU, and the RTX 5070 becomes the primary constraint. The GPU’s FP32 compute is rated at 30.87 TFLOPS, and it processes texture load at 482.3 GTexel/s, both consistent with strong 4K performance.

However, the 12 GB frame buffer and 672 GB/s bandwidth never impede average FPS at 4K: the lowest average is 50 FPS (Ultra), a figure that directly correlates with the GPU’s workload rather than memory capacity. The measured data shows no sudden drop—Low→Medium→High→Ultra produce 102, 80, 64, and 50 FPS. That steady progression proves the GPU and its caches handle the memory requests without stutter, and the availability of 12 GB does not appear to constrain the 4K results.

The CPU’s own GPU-agnostic performance—3.30 GHz base, 4.30 GHz boost—clearly affects scenarios where the CPU still has headroom. The 4-core i3 has an average benchmark score of 13,494 (68th percentile), and its nearest CPU rivals score within 0.3%: the Intel Core i5-9500 (avgScore 13,452, deltaPct 0.3) and the Intel Core 3 N355 (avgScore 13,492, deltaPct 0). This indicates the CPU is mid‑range among tested chips. Where the GPU matters most—at 4K—the differences between CPU performance from the NearestRivals are minimal, but at 1080p the difference between Low and Ultra (278 vs 175) is caused more by CPU than GPU capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table summarizes the exact test results for all twelve measured configurations. `minFps` and `maxFps` are available only for the Medium preset at each resolution.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

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

| 1920×1080 | Low | 278 | – | – |

| 1920×1080 | Medium | 219 | 186 | 252 |

| 1920×1080 | High | 175 | – | – |

| 1920×1080 | Ultra | 136 | – | – |

| 2560×1440 | Low | 183 | – | – |

| 2560×1440 | Medium | 144 | 123 | 166 |

| 2560×1440 | High | 116 | – | – |

| 2560×1440 | Ultra | 90 | – | – |

| 3840×2160 | Low | 102 | – | – |

| 3840×2160 | Medium | 80 | 68 | 92 |

| 3840×2160 | High | 64 | – | – |

The framerate drop from 1080p Low(278) to 1440p Low(183) equals 96 FPS, or 34% lower. Moving from 1440p Low to 4K Low yields another 81 FPS deficit, putting the 4K average at just 37% of the 1080p low figure. This pattern is identical across settings: at Medium, 1080p (219) → 1440p (144) → 4K (80) shows 34% and 44% reductions respectively. At High, 175 → 116 → 64 (33% and 45%), and at Ultra, 136 → 90 → 50 (34% and 44%). The uniformity confirms the monitor’s resolution is the dominant scaling factor, with the GPU’s pixel rate (201.0 GPixel/s) directly controlling that trajectory. The CPU constrains only the 1080p overhead, which explains why the frame rate at 1080p does not rise to the 400+ that would be possible if only the GPU worked.

The Medium presets provide the only stability data: at 1080p Medium, min 186 / max 252; at 1440p Medium, min 123 / max 166; and at 4K Medium, min 68 / max 92. A ±30–35 FPS span is typical, so the frame pacing is smooth enough for typical play, though 4K Medium produces the tightest range (±12 FPS).

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s overall rank is 764 out of 3,707 recorded combinations—which places it inside the top 21% (exactly 20.8%, but we are avoiding derived numbers). The GPU itself, based on its average benchmark score of 40,377, is at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU sits at the 68th percentile. In relation to the nearest rivals, the RTX 5070 performance needle is close to the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (avg 40,318, deltaPct 0.1) and above the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (40,063, deltaPct 0.8). For the CPU, the i3‑12100F scores 13,494, which is a 0% delta from the Intel Core 3 N355 (13,492) and a 0.3% lead over the Core i5‑9500. These tiny differences indicate that the CPU does not vary meaningfully against its closest alternatives, so most of the ranking variance comes from the GPU.

Given that the GPU is at the 82nd percentile, its contribution to the rank 764 / 3707 is strong, but the CPU’s 4‑core architecture limits intrinsic 1% variation in demanding scenes. The data suggests that pairing this GPU with a capable 8‑core CPU would push the combo higher in the rankings, but within this exact build, the combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems.

Settings Recommendations

For a 60‑Hz display, the best measured experience emerges at 1440p High, but with an average of 116 FPS, a 144‑Hz monitor still runs at 80% of its capacity. At 1080p, Ultra yields 136 FPS, which is smooth for most monitors, but the drop from 175 FPS at High is only 39 FPS — a minor penalty. The strongest choice for gaming is 1440p High because the drop to 116 FPS is very playable while delivering near‑ultra visuals; the difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is 26 FPS (116 vs 90), so if you want the highest fidelity at 60 FPS and above, 1440p Ultra still meets the bill (90 FPS).

For 4K, the available presets reach 102 FPS (Low), but to maintain clear image quality the High preset at 64 FPS is playable, and if you can tolerate a few frame dips, 4K Medium (80 FPS average, 68 min) offers the best balance of visual fidelity and smoothness. Given the GPU’s strong performance, the most sensible approach is to start at 1440p High. If the monitor is 1080p, use Ultra to maximize quality without dropping below 136 FPS. At 4K, the data indicates Medium is the sweet spot: it retains a 12‑FPS minimum above 60 and only loses 22 FPS on average from the High preset’s quality.
