GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, and its specifications directly explain the measured frame rates. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2617 MHz, with memory running at 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective). The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for Fivem's asset streaming at all tested settings.

The GPU's compute resources are substantial: 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines. The Blackwell 2.0 architecture includes 84 ray tracing cores and 336 tensor cores, though Fivem's multiplayer gameplay typically relies more on traditional rasterization. The pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s indicate the GPU can handle high-resolution rendering without becoming a bottleneck at lower settings.

In the measured FPS data, the GPU's influence becomes apparent when comparing resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combination achieves 345 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 126 FPS—a 63% reduction. This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the fixed compute and memory bandwidth must fill more pixels. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 169, while at 4K Ultra it falls to 62 FPS, showing that the most demanding preset at 4K still yields playable performance.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 36565 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 255450 confirm its high-end positioning. The nearest GPU rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Radeon 8060S (55757, 0.6% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698, 0.7% lower), and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE (57367, 2.2% higher). These comparisons show the RTX 5080 sits within a tight performance band of other modern GPUs, but its combination with the i5-12600KF produces the specific FPS numbers measured in Fivem.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution, balancing frame rate targets against visual quality. For players targeting 60 FPS as a minimum, the 4K Ultra preset delivers 62 FPS average, which technically meets that threshold but leaves no headroom for demanding multiplayer scenes. The 4K High preset offers a safer margin at 80 FPS, while 4K Medium reaches 99 FPS with a documented minimum of 85 FPS—this makes Medium the recommended choice for 4K if consistent frame pacing matters more than maximum visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, all tested presets exceed 100 FPS. The Ultra preset produces 111 FPS, which is suitable for high-refresh-rate displays, but the High preset at 143 FPS provides a better balance for competitive play. The Medium preset at 179 FPS (minimum 152 FPS) is the highest setting that maintains a frame rate above 144 FPS, making it ideal for 144Hz monitors. Low settings at 227 FPS offer maximum responsiveness for players who prioritize input latency over visual quality.

For 1920x1080, the data shows the CPU begins to limit performance at lower settings. The Low preset achieves 345 FPS, Medium reaches 272 FPS (minimum 232 FPS), and High delivers 218 FPS. The Ultra preset at 169 FPS still exceeds 144 FPS, so players with 144Hz displays can comfortably use Ultra at 1080p. However, for 240Hz or 360Hz displays, the Medium preset's 272 FPS average is the recommended choice, as it provides the best combination of visual quality and frame rate headroom. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the best compromise between visual fidelity and measured performance, with documented minimum FPS values that indicate stable frame delivery.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The fact pack contains 12 measured FPS data points, covering three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 345 on Low to 169 on Ultra. The Medium preset at 1080p shows an average of 272 FPS, with a minimum of 232 FPS and a maximum of 313 FPS, providing the only min/max data at this resolution. The High preset at 1080p sits at 218 FPS, while Ultra drops to 169 FPS—a 44% reduction from Low to Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS scales down across all presets. Low produces 227 FPS, High reaches 143 FPS, and Ultra achieves 111 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p records an average of 179 FPS, with a minimum of 152 FPS and a maximum of 206 FPS. This represents a 21% decrease from the 1080p Medium result, which indicates the GPU is handling the additional pixel load efficiently.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops significantly. Low produces 126 FPS, Medium reaches 99 FPS (minimum 85 FPS, maximum 114 FPS), High achieves 80 FPS, and Ultra falls to 62 FPS. The difference between 1440p and 4K at each preset is substantial: Low drops from 227 to 126 FPS (44% reduction), High from 143 to 80 FPS (44% reduction), and Ultra from 111 to 62 FPS (44% reduction). This consistent 44% reduction across presets suggests the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources scale linearly with pixel count.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data at all three resolutions, allowing for frame time analysis. At 1080p, the spread between minimum and maximum is 81 FPS (232 to 313). At 1440p, the spread narrows to 54 FPS (152 to 206). At 4K, the spread is 29 FPS (85 to 114). This tightening range at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently loaded, reducing frame time variance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how performance scales as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the progression is 272 FPS at 1080p, 179 FPS at 1440p, and 99 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 34%, and from 1440p to 4K is 45%. The total reduction from 1080p to 4K is 64%—meaning 4K produces roughly one-third of the 1080p frame rate.

This scaling pattern provides insight into the limiting component. The i5-12600KF has a boost clock of 4.90 GHz across 10 cores (16 threads), with a single-thread 3DMark score of 1016 and an 8-thread score of 6128. At 1080p Low, where the GPU is less stressed, the combination achieves 345 FPS—this high frame rate suggests the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. However, the fact that frame rates drop consistently by roughly 44% from 1440p to 4K across all presets (Low: 227 to 126, High: 143 to 80, Ultra: 111 to 62) indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K.

At 1080p, the difference between Low (345 FPS) and Ultra (169 FPS) is 176 FPS, showing that the GPU's workload scales significantly with preset quality. At 4K, the difference between Low (126 FPS) and Ultra (62 FPS) is 64 FPS, a smaller absolute gap but a similar relative reduction of 51%. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is already heavily loaded even at Low settings, and increasing preset quality adds additional strain that reduces frame rates proportionally.

The data also shows that the CPU's performance ceiling is not reached in these measurements. With a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23391 and a single-core score of 3302, the i5-12600KF provides ample processing power for Fivem's multiplayer workloads. The PassMark multi-thread score of 27575 and single-thread score of 3925 further confirm the CPU's capability. Since the 1080p Low result of 345 FPS is the highest measured value, and the CPU's 3DMark max-thread score is 7952, the data suggests the CPU can support even higher frame rates if the GPU could render faster.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, with a TDP of 125 W. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. This processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and network synchronization for multiplayer sessions. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combination reaches 345 FPS, which is the highest result in the entire dataset. This suggests the CPU can drive frame rates well above 300 FPS when the GPU is not heavily loaded. The fact that 1080p Medium produces 272 FPS (minimum 232 FPS) indicates the CPU maintains consistent performance even as GPU load increases.

The CPU's benchmark scores place it in the 79th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27799. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K (27872, 0.3% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (27712, 0.3% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (27896, 0.3% higher). These small deltaPct values show the i5-12600KF performs nearly identically to these other CPUs in general benchmarks.

The 3DMark scores reveal the CPU's threading characteristics: 2-thread score of 1995, 4-thread score of 3806, 8-thread score of 6128, and max-thread score of 7952. The single-thread score is 1016. The scaling from 2 to 8 threads shows good multi-core efficiency, with the 8-thread score being 3.07 times the 2-thread score. However, the max-thread score (7952) is only 30% higher than the 8-thread score (6128), indicating diminishing returns beyond 8 threads—likely due to the processor's 10-core, 16-thread configuration where some workloads saturate the available execution resources.

For Fivem, which is a multiplayer game that can stress multiple cores, the CPU's 10 cores provide sufficient parallel processing capability. The boost clock of 4.90 GHz ensures strong single-thread performance for game logic, while the 20 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency for frequently accessed data. The PassMark integer math score of 87830 and floating point math score of 67074 demonstrate the CPU's arithmetic capabilities, which are relevant for physics calculations in the game.
