Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. The Low preset achieves 160 FPS average, while Medium reaches 126 FPS average with a 107 FPS minimum and 145 FPS maximum. High settings produce 101 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 78 FPS average. The 82 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p demonstrates the significant impact of preset selection.

At 2560x1440, frame rates decrease notably across all presets. Low delivers 105 FPS average, Medium achieves 83 FPS average with a 71 FPS minimum and 95 FPS maximum, High produces 66 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 52 FPS average. The 53 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is proportionally similar to the 1080p spread but with lower absolute values.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become stark. Low settings achieve 58 FPS average, Medium delivers 46 FPS average with a 39 FPS minimum and 53 FPS maximum, High produces 37 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 29 FPS average. The 29 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K represents a 50% reduction, making Ultra settings impractical for smooth gameplay.

The Medium preset at each resolution provides the most complete data, with minimum and maximum frame rates captured. At 1080p Medium, the 107 FPS minimum ensures consistent gameplay, while at 1440p Medium, the 71 FPS minimum is acceptable for most scenarios. At 4K Medium, the 39 FPS minimum indicates noticeable stuttering in demanding moments.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU as the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 126 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Medium reduces performance to 83 FPS, a 34% decrease. At 4K Medium, the frame rate drops to 46 FPS, a further 45% decrease from 1440p. This progressive degradation aligns with the GPU's 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit memory bus.

The Low preset shows similar scaling patterns. At 1080p Low, the combo delivers 160 FPS average, which drops to 105 FPS at 1440p (34% decrease) and 58 FPS at 4K (45% decrease from 1440p). The consistent percentage drops across presets indicate that resolution scaling affects all settings equally, pointing to a fixed hardware limitation rather than a software optimization issue.

The 4K Ultra preset's 29 FPS average represents the worst-case scenario, where the GPU's 2,048 shading units and 64 ROPs are overwhelmed by the pixel count. The GPU's pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s are insufficient for 4K Ultra in this game, as evidenced by the sub-30 FPS result.

The scaling data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. The i7-12700K's strong multi-threaded scores, including a passmark multithread score of 34,404 and Cinebench R20 multicore score of 12,229, provide ample processing headroom. The frame rate drops across resolutions are consistent with GPU-bound scenarios, confirming that the RX 7600 is the performance constraint in Fivem.
