Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core i7-12700K + AMD Radeon RX 9060

The Intel Core i7-12700K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 produces a Fivem experience that is heavily dependent on resolution and preset selection, with the data revealing a system that shifts from GPU-bound at 4K to progressively more balanced at lower resolutions. Across the measured spectrum, this combination delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, while 4K requires careful preset management to maintain smoothness. The combo ranks 1714th out of 3005 tested combinations in this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database, a position that reflects the RX 9060's modest standing relative to other GPUs in the benchmark suite.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, with the magnitude of the drop varying significantly by settings preset. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 175 FPS at 1920x1080 to 115 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 60 FPS, and then further down to 64 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a cumulative drop of 111 FPS from the 1080p baseline. This translates to a 34.3% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a 44.3% decrease from 1440p to 4K, indicating that the scaling penalty intensifies at higher resolutions.

At Medium settings, the pattern is similar but with slightly different magnitudes. The average FPS at 1080p is 138, dropping to 91 at 1440p (a 34.1% reduction) and then to 50 at 4K (a 45.1% reduction from 1440p). The minimum FPS values at Medium settings also show this trend: 117 FPS at 1080p, 77 FPS at 1440p, and 43 FPS at 4K, with maximum values of 159, 105, and 58 respectively. This consistent scaling behavior across presets suggests that the rendering pipeline in Fivem responds predictably to pixel count changes.

The High preset exhibits a steeper relative decline. From 111 FPS at 1080p, the average drops to 73 FPS at 1440p (a 34.2% reduction) and then to 40 FPS at 4K (a 45.2% reduction from 1440p). Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 86 FPS at 1080p, 56 FPS at 1440p (a 34.9% reduction), and 31 FPS at 4K (a 44.6% reduction from 1440p). The consistency of these percentage drops across all four presets is notable, with each resolution step costing roughly one-third to one-half of the remaining performance.

The scaling behavior indicates that at 4K, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 becomes the primary limiting component, as the 64 FPS at Low settings versus 31 FPS at Ultra demonstrates a 33 FPS spread purely from preset changes at the same resolution. At 1080p, however, the scaling pattern suggests the Intel Core i7-12700K's capabilities are more relevant, as the 89 FPS difference between Low (175 FPS) and Ultra (86 FPS) at 1080p is proportionally larger than at 4K, where the same preset spread yields only a 33 FPS difference. This indicates that the CPU has more headroom to influence frame rates when the GPU is less burdened by pixel throughput.

Settings Recommendations

Examining the measured rows, the Medium preset at 1440p emerges as a particularly compelling choice, delivering 91 FPS average with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. This represents a 24.7% improvement over High settings at the same resolution (73 FPS) while maintaining frame times that are well above the threshold for smooth gameplay in a multiplayer environment. The minimum FPS of 77 at Medium 1440p is notably higher than the 40 FPS average at 4K High, making it a safer option for consistent performance during demanding in-game moments.

For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity at 1080p, the Ultra preset offers 86 FPS average, which is playable but leaves less headroom for frame drops in busy multiplayer scenarios. The High preset at 1080p provides 111 FPS, a 29.1% improvement over Ultra, and represents a balanced trade-off between visual quality and performance. The data suggests that the jump from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 25 FPS, which may not be justified for the incremental visual gains in a fast-paced multiplayer title.

At 4K, the choices are more constrained. Low settings yield 64 FPS average, which is technically playable, while Medium drops to 50 FPS and High to 40 FPS. Given that the minimum FPS at 4K Medium is 43, users seeking a stable 4K experience should consider Low settings as the only preset that maintains an average above 60 FPS. The 14 FPS difference between Low and Medium at 4K (64 versus 50) is substantial, and the 10 FPS difference between Medium and High (50 versus 40) further narrows the viable options at this resolution.

The overall recommendation based on the measured data is to prioritize 1440p Medium as the sweet spot, as it offers the best combination of resolution, visual settings, and frame rate stability. For 1080p users, High settings provide a strong experience at 111 FPS, while those who insist on 4K should stick to Low settings to avoid dipping below 60 FPS average. The Medium preset at 1440p stands out because its minimum FPS of 77 exceeds the average FPS of every 4K preset except Low, demonstrating its superior consistency.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The GPU operates at a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2990 MHz, providing substantial headroom for performance scaling under load.

The GPU's compute resources include 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 28 ray tracing cores. This configuration produces a pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s, with FP32 and FP16 throughput both rated at 21.43 TFLOPS. The 8 GB VRAM capacity, while sufficient for many titles, is a consideration for Fivem given its multiplayer environments that can feature numerous player models, vehicles, and custom assets that consume memory.

In Fivem specifically, the measured frame rates show the GPU's capabilities scaling predictably with resolution. At 1080p, the GPU is able to push 175 FPS at Low settings, indicating that it has ample headroom at this resolution. The drop to 86 FPS at Ultra settings at 1080p shows a 50.9% reduction, which is substantial but still playable. At 1440p, the GPU maintains 115 FPS at Low and 56 FPS at Ultra, and at 4K it achieves 64 FPS at Low but only 31 FPS at Ultra, clearly demonstrating that the GPU's rendering throughput becomes the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

The GPU's benchmark profile shows a Passmark G3D score of 17631 and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 9919, with DirectX 12 performance measured at 44 in Passmark's DirectX 12 test. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3322 provides an additional reference point for its DirectX 12 capabilities. The GPU's overall percentile rank of 59 places it slightly above the median of all GPUs in the database, which aligns with its mid-pack positioning relative to the nearest rivals described earlier.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm². It features a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 25 MB of shared L3 cache. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and includes integrated UHD Graphics 770, though this is unlikely to be relevant when paired with a discrete GPU.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19784 and a single-core score of 1850.5. Its Geekbench scores are 15790 multi-core and 2308 single-core, while Passmark shows 34404 multi-thread and 4013 single-thread scores. The 3DMark results show scaling from 1043 single-thread to 9979 max-threads, with intermediate scores of 2065 at 2 threads, 4011 at 4 threads, 7202 at 8 threads, and 9276 at 16 threads, indicating effective scaling across its core count.

In Fivem, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is not saturated. At 1080p, the measured frame rates reach 175 FPS at Low settings, and the spread between Low and Ultra (89 FPS) suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU sufficiently at this resolution. The fact that the combo ranks 1714th out of 3005 in Fivem, despite the CPU's 84th percentile standing, indicates that the CPU's performance is not the limiting factor in this pairing; rather, the GPU's lower relative performance holds the combo back.

The CPU's nearest rivals show extremely tight performance clustering, with deltas ranging from -0.1% to -0.4% against the Intel Core i5-13600T, Intel Core i7-12700KF, Intel Core i7-13700T, and Intel Core 5 213PE. This means that swapping the i7-12700K for any of these alternatives would produce virtually identical results in Fivem, confirming that the CPU is not the differentiator in this combo's performance. With a launch MSRP of $409, the i7-12700K represents a high-end CPU choice that is well-matched to the GPU's capabilities at 1080p and 1440p, but the data shows that the GPU becomes the constraint at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i7-12700K and AMD Radeon RX 9060 produce the following average frame rates across presets: Low settings deliver 175 FPS, Medium settings deliver 138 FPS with a minimum of 117 FPS and maximum of 159 FPS, High settings deliver 111 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 86 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 89 FPS, representing a 50.9% reduction in performance when moving from the lowest to the highest preset.

At 2560x1440, the measured averages are 115 FPS at Low settings, 91 FPS at Medium settings (with a minimum of 77 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS), 73 FPS at High settings, and 56 FPS at Ultra settings. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 59 FPS, a 51.3% reduction, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p scaling. The Medium preset at this resolution provides the most complete data, with a 77 to 105 FPS range that brackets a 91 FPS average.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop considerably: Low settings yield 64 FPS average, Medium settings yield 50 FPS (with a minimum of 43 FPS and maximum of 58 FPS), High settings yield 40 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 31 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 33 FPS, a 51.6% reduction that maintains the same proportional scaling pattern seen at lower resolutions. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium (43 FPS) is the only recorded minimum below 60 FPS in the entire dataset, highlighting the challenge of maintaining smooth performance at this resolution.

Comparing across resolutions at the same preset, Low settings show the largest absolute drops: 175 FPS at 1080p to 115 FPS at 1440p to 64 FPS at 4K. Medium settings decline from 138 to 91 to 50, High settings from 111 to 73 to 40, and Ultra settings from 86 to 56 to 31. The consistency of these patterns across all four presets, with each resolution step reducing performance by roughly one-third to one-half, indicates that the RX 9060's rendering throughput scales in a predictable manner with pixel count, and that neither the CPU nor GPU introduces unexpected bottlenecks at any specific resolution or setting combination.
