Fivem

Fivem’s performance with the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER shows a clear progression as resolution increases, with the most dramatic shifts occurring between 1080p and 4K. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 308.9 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 191.5 FPS on High and 148.6 FPS on Ultra—a reduction of roughly 52% from Low to Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the same settings yield 203 FPS, 161.4 FPS, and 98.1 FPS respectively, indicating that the GPU begins to assert more influence on frame rates at this resolution. At 3840x2160, the scaling becomes steep: Low produces 110.8 FPS, Medium 86.5 FPS, High 72.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 55.8 FPS. The delta between 1080p Low and 4K Low is 198.1 FPS, while the delta between 1080p Ultra and 4K Ultra is 92.8 FPS. This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiter, as frame rates remain exceptionally high even on Ultra, but by 4K, the GPU’s workload dominates, compressing the performance gap across settings. The data underscores that this hardware combination is capable of high refresh-rate gaming at 1440p, but 4K Ultra pushes the GPU near its limit, with the frame rate dropping to just above playable thresholds.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process and 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. Its memory subsystem includes 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, yielding 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth—a figure that becomes relevant in Fivem’s open-world multiplayer environments where texture streaming and asset loading are frequent. The GPU’s base clock is 2340 MHz, boosting to 2610 MHz, with a memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). Benchmark data shows the GPU scores 31811 in Passmark G3D and 48704 in average benchmark score, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Relative to its nearest rivals, it sits 0.7% behind the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A2000, and 2% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile. In Fivem specifically, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution rises: at 1080p, the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra is 160.3 FPS, but at 4K, that difference narrows to 55 FPS. This indicates that at 1080p, the GPU is not fully utilized—the CPU and game engine constraints cap performance—whereas at 4K, the GPU’s shading units (8448), texture mapping units (264), and raster output pipelines (96) are fully engaged. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is ample for Fivem’s high-resolution textures, and the 672.3 GB/s bandwidth supports the large draw distances typical of multiplayer servers. The GPU’s 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate provide the raw throughput needed to maintain 55.8 FPS at 4K Ultra, though the data shows that this setting is the most demanding scenario measured.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, every preset delivers playable frame rates: Low hits 308.9 FPS, Medium 241.4 FPS, High 191.5 FPS, and Ultra 148.6 FPS. For 1080p users with high-refresh monitors, Medium offers a balanced compromise—it is 67.5 FPS faster than High and only 67.5 FPS slower than Low—while maintaining visual fidelity. High at 1080p still exceeds 144 Hz, making it suitable for competitive play without sacrificing too much detail. Moving to 2560x1440, Low produces 203 FPS, Medium 161.4 FPS, High 130.1 FPS, and Ultra 98.1 FPS. Here, High is the most reasonable choice for 144 Hz displays, as it stays above 120 FPS, while Ultra dips below 100 FPS, which may introduce noticeable stutter on fast-paced servers. At 3840x2160, the situation changes: Low yields 110.8 FPS, Medium 86.5 FPS, High 72.2 FPS, and Ultra 55.8 FPS. For 4K gaming, Medium is the sweet spot—it provides 86.5 FPS, which is 13.7 FPS higher than High and 30.7 FPS higher than Ultra, while still offering better visuals than Low. Ultra at 4K drops below 60 FPS, which is generally undesirable for a multiplayer game where responsiveness matters. The data suggests that users should prioritize Medium at 4K, High at 1440p, and either High or Ultra at 1080p depending on whether raw FPS or image quality is more important.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination ranks 176th out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 9.8% of all configurations. This is a strong showing for a pairing that includes a 10-core, 16-thread CPU and a GPU with 8448 shading units. The combo’s rank reflects its ability to deliver high frame rates across all resolutions, but the position is not top-tier—there are 175 other combinations that outperform it. Given the CPU’s percentile of 84 (versus all CPUs) and the GPU’s percentile of 86 (versus all GPUs), the rank is consistent with hardware that is above average but not flagship-level. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K (deltaPct 0%), Intel Core i5-12600K (deltaPct -0.1%), Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (deltaPct -0.2%), and Intel Core i7-13700H (deltaPct 0.4%). The GPU’s rivals show a slightly wider spread, with the NVIDIA CMP 50HX 0.7% ahead, the Intel Arc A550M 2.1% behind, and the NVIDIA RTX A2000 1.6% behind. In Fivem, this combo’s rank suggests that the CPU-GPU balance is well-matched for multiplayer scenarios, where both the CPU’s thread handling and the GPU’s rendering throughput matter. The data indicates that while this combo is not the fastest available, it outperforms the vast majority of tested configurations, making it a solid mid-to-high-tier option for this game.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor from the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel’s 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm². It operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts to 4.90 GHz, with a 125 W TDP. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Benchmark data shows a single-thread score of 3925 in Passmark and a multi-thread score of 27575, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23444 and single-core score of 3309. The CPU ranks in the 84th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27827—essentially tied with the Intel Core i9-10900K (deltaPct 0%) and Intel Core i5-12600K (deltaPct -0.1%). In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 300 FPS on Low settings. This high ceiling indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data to saturate even a powerful card at lower resolutions. At 4K, however, the CPU’s influence diminishes; the frame rate difference between Low (110.8 FPS) and Ultra (55.8 FPS) is 55 FPS, which is driven more by GPU load than CPU capability. The CPU’s 16 threads are well-suited for Fivem’s multiplayer environments, which often involve numerous NPCs, vehicles, and player interactions that require parallel processing. The 20 MB L3 cache helps with data locality for game assets, and the boost clock of 4.90 GHz provides strong single-thread performance for the game’s main loop. The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, as the GPU becomes the limiting factor, but at 1080p, the CPU’s performance directly enables the exceptionally high frame rates observed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low 308.9, Medium 241.4, High 191.5, Ultra 148.6. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decrease, with the largest single step being from Medium to High (49.9 FPS drop) and the smallest from High to Ultra (42.9 FPS drop). At 2560x1440, the averages are Low 203, Medium 161.4, High 130.1, Ultra 98.1. Here, the drop from Low to Medium is 41.6 FPS, from Medium to High is 31.3 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 32 FPS, showing a more gradual decline as settings increase. At 3840x2160, the averages are Low 110.8, Medium 86.5, High 72.2, Ultra 55.8. The step from Low to Medium is 24.3 FPS, from Medium to High is 14.3 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 16.4 FPS. Across all resolutions, the ratio of Ultra to Low FPS is consistent: 0.48 at 1080p, 0.48 at 1440p, and 0.50 at 4K. This suggests that the relative cost of Ultra settings is similar regardless of resolution, though the absolute frame rates differ significantly. The data also shows that at 1080p, the combo can achieve over 300 FPS on Low, which is far beyond typical monitor refresh rates, indicating headroom for higher refresh displays or additional in-game effects. At 1440p, High remains above 120 FPS, making it suitable for 144 Hz monitors, while Ultra dips below 100 FPS. At 4K, only Low exceeds 100 FPS, and Ultra falls below 60 FPS, which is a critical threshold for smooth gameplay in a multiplayer context.
