Fivem

Fivem with the Intel Core i5-12600KF and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a highly playable experience across most settings, but the data reveals a clear performance hierarchy. The combination ranks in the 53rd percentile of tested systems, indicating solid mid-pack performance that is heavily influenced by the GPU at higher resolutions. Benchmark results show this pairing is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it maintains high frame rates even at demanding presets, while 4K remains a challenge unless settings are reduced.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a significant performance drop as resolution increases, which is typical for a system where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 200.9 FPS, but this falls to 133 FPS at 1440p and further to 75.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 63% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the RX 6750 XT is doing heavy lifting at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced at Ultra settings. The system drops from 99.7 FPS at 1080p to 66 FPS at 1440p, and then plummets to 35.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that this resolution and preset combination is too demanding for the GPU. In contrast, the 1080p to 1440p drop at Ultra is a more manageable 34%, showing that the GPU still has headroom at these resolutions.

The data indicates that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU likely plays a more significant role, as evidenced by the small gap between Low (200.9 FPS) and Medium (160.7 FPS) settings. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the constraint, with the gap between Low (75.3 FPS) and High (47.5 FPS) widening considerably. This suggests that players targeting 4K should prioritize GPU-bound settings adjustments, while 1080p players may benefit more from CPU-related tweaks.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF features 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. This Alder Lake architecture processor delivers strong single-threaded performance, scoring 1016 in 3dmark_single_thread and 3925 in passmark_single_thread. These scores are critical for Fivem, a multiplayer game that often relies on single-core performance for game logic and physics calculations.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also substantial, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 23444 and a geekbench_multicore score of 12373. However, Fivem's performance scaling with cores appears limited, as the 1080p Low result of 200.9 FPS suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 7956 and 3dmark_max_threads score of 7952 indicate consistent performance across thread counts, but the game does not appear to utilize all 16 threads effectively.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 84 places it in the top 16% of all processors, and its avgBenchmarkScore of 27827 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i9-10900K (27829, deltaPct 0) and Intel Core i5-12600K (27851, deltaPct -0.1). This suggests that the i5-12600KF is not a bottleneck in most scenarios, but at 1080p Low settings, the 200.9 FPS result may be approaching the CPU's practical limit for this game engine.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i5-12600KF and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 844 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 47th percentile of all tested systems. This mid-pack ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is severely mismatched for the other, but the system does not reach the top tier of performance.

The GPU's individual ranking is slightly higher than the overall combo, with a percentileVsAllGpus of 79 and an avgBenchmarkScore of 35327. The GPU's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (avgScore 35787, deltaPct -1.3) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (avgScore 35435, deltaPct -0.3), showing that the RX 6750 XT is competitive with higher-tier cards in synthetic benchmarks. The CPU's ranking is also solid at 84th percentile, but the combo ranking suggests that other factors, such as memory bandwidth or game-specific optimization, may be limiting overall performance in Fivem.

The gap between the CPU and GPU individual rankings and the combo ranking indicates that Fivem's performance is not purely additive. The 844th rank out of 1792 combos suggests that many other pairings deliver better results in this specific title, likely due to the game's sensitivity to certain hardware configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the system delivers strong performance across all settings. Low settings produce 200.9 FPS, Medium 160.7 FPS, High 126.2 FPS, and Ultra 99.7 FPS. All results exceed the 60 FPS threshold, and even Ultra settings provide a smooth experience for competitive play. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 50% reduction in frame rate, which is typical for this game's settings range.

Moving to 1440p, the results remain playable but show a noticeable drop. Low settings deliver 133 FPS, Medium 101.9 FPS, High 80.3 FPS, and Ultra 66 FPS. The Ultra result is just above the 60 FPS baseline, making it viable for most players, while High settings offer a comfortable margin. The 1440p results represent a 34% reduction from the same settings at 1080p, confirming that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor.

At 4K, the system struggles to maintain high frame rates. Low settings produce 75.3 FPS, Medium 54.8 FPS, High 47.5 FPS, and Ultra 35.7 FPS. Only Low settings exceed 60 FPS, and the Ultra result is nearly unplayable. The 4K results show a 63% reduction from 1080p at Low settings, highlighting the GPU's limitations at this resolution. Players seeking 4K performance will need to compromise significantly on settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's clocks are set at a base of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. These specifications contribute to a passmark_g3d score of 20700 and a geekbench_opencl score of 107621, indicating strong rasterization performance.

The GPU's 40 ray tracing cores and 2560 shading units support DirectX 12 Ultimate, but Fivem's performance appears to be more dependent on raw fill rate and memory bandwidth. The pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s are substantial, and the 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability handles the game's rendering demands well at 1080p and 1440p.

The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Fivem at all tested resolutions, as the game does not appear to exceed this limit even at 4K Ultra. The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (avgScore 35264, deltaPct 0.2) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (avgScore 35787, deltaPct -1.3), showing that the RX 6750 XT is competitive with these cards in synthetic benchmarks. However, the 4K results suggest that the GPU's memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s becomes a limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting 1080p, the High preset (126.2 FPS) offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, as it provides a significant improvement over Medium (160.7 FPS) while maintaining frame rates well above 100 FPS. Ultra (99.7 FPS) is also viable, but the 21% drop from High may not justify the visual gains for competitive play.

At 1440p, the High preset (80.3 FPS) is the recommended choice, as it delivers smooth gameplay with good visual fidelity. Medium (101.9 FPS) is a better option for players prioritizing frame rate, while Ultra (66 FPS) is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. Low settings (133 FPS) are overly conservative for this resolution.

For 4K, the Low preset (75.3 FPS) is the only option that provides a consistently smooth experience. Medium (54.8 FPS) and High (47.5 FPS) are below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra (35.7 FPS) is not recommended. Players who insist on 4K should accept Low settings or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.
