Fivem

The Intel Core i7-12700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER presents a specific performance profile in Fivem, a multiplayer title where CPU and GPU demands are distinct. The data provided offers a clear view of how this combination handles various resolutions and settings, with the measured frames per second (FPS) indicating a system that is capable but requires careful settings management to achieve optimal smoothness.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake-S architecture, built on a 10 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, features which are directly relevant to Fivem's performance. The processor's average benchmark score of 35684 places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, indicating strong overall computational capability. Its 3DMark scores show scaling from 1043 in single-thread to 9979 in max-threads, with intermediate results of 2065 (2-thread), 4011 (4-thread), 7202 (8-thread), and 9276 (16-thread). This scaling suggests the processor can leverage its multi-threaded resources effectively, though Fivem's performance often depends on fewer, faster cores.

In the context of Fivem, the CPU's role is significant. The game's multiplayer nature involves processing player positions, vehicle physics, and network synchronization, tasks that benefit from high single-thread performance. The i7-12700K's single-thread score of 1043 in 3DMark and 4128 in Cinebench R23 single-core indicates robust per-core capability. This is supported by its PassMark single-thread score of 4013. The processor's 25 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce latency for frequently accessed data, which is beneficial in a dynamic multiplayer environment. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 159.6 FPS, a figure that is likely CPU-bound to some extent, given the GPU's capabilities. As resolution increases to 1440p and 2160p, the FPS drops, indicating the CPU remains a consistent performer while the GPU takes on more load.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the i7-12700K has a 0.6% higher average score than the Intel Core i7-13700T (35468) and is 0.8% above the Intel Core i7-13800H (35416). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 by 0.3% (35802) and the Intel Core i5-14500HX by 0.7% (35940). These deltas are minor, suggesting that the CPU is competitive with these alternatives in general benchmarks. For Fivem, this means the processor is unlikely to be the primary bottleneck, provided the GPU is not overwhelmed. The CPU's boost clock of 5.00 GHz is crucial for maintaining high frame rates in CPU-intensive scenes, while its 12 cores and 20 threads ensure that background tasks and game logic processing do not cause stutters. The processor's launch MSRP is $409, but this does not factor into performance analysis.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, based on the TU106 chip and Turing architecture, is a 12 nm GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. This provides a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for Fivem's textures and assets. The GPU's base clock is 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, and its memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU's average benchmark score is 19774, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2011, while PassMark G3D scores 16462, indicating solid but not top-tier performance.

In Fivem, the GPU's role is primarily to render the game world, including objects, lighting, and shadows. The 8 GB VRAM is a key asset, as Fivem's multiplayer servers often use custom assets that can increase memory usage. The GPU's 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the pixel and texture work, with a texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 105.6 GPixel/s. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. For instance, at 4K (3840x2160), the average FPS ranges from 56.5 at Low settings to 30.4 at Ultra, indicating that the GPU's compute power (7.181 TFLOPS FP32) is strained by the pixel count. At 1440p, the GPU manages 103.6 FPS at Low and 52.4 at Ultra, while at 1080p, it achieves 159.6 FPS at Low and 78.2 at Ultra. This pattern demonstrates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is more than adequate for 1080p gaming, but its performance drops off sharply at 4K.

The GPU's nearest rivals show it is closely matched with older high-end cards. It is 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (19706) and 0.5% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (19680). It also leads the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 by 0.8% (19623) and the NVIDIA Tesla K40m by 1.3% (19519). These small deltas suggest that in Fivem, the GPU's performance is in line with these products, meaning it will not provide a significant advantage over them. The GPU's 175 W TDP and dual-slot design are physical characteristics, but the performance data indicates that for Fivem, the RTX 2060 SUPER is a capable mid-range solution that excels at 1080p and can handle 1440p with some compromises.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Intel Core i7-12700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 1339 out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle range of the database, indicating that while the system is functional, many other CPU-GPU pairings deliver better performance in this specific game. The rank of 1339 out of 1792 means the combo sits at approximately the 74.7th percentile of all combos, suggesting that a quarter of tested systems perform worse, but the vast majority perform better. This is a notable finding, as both components have solid individual benchmark scores—the CPU in the 89th percentile and the GPU in the 63rd percentile—yet their combined performance in Fivem lags relative to other pairings.

The rank suggests that Fivem's performance is highly sensitive to the specific balance between CPU and GPU. The i7-12700K is a powerful processor, but the RTX 2060 SUPER, while competent, may not be able to fully utilize the CPU's capabilities at higher settings. For example, at 1080p Low, the system achieves 159.6 FPS, which is high, but many other combos with stronger GPUs likely push beyond this. The data shows that the GPU becomes a bottleneck at 4K, where even Low settings only yield 56.5 FPS. This indicates that the combo's rank is dragged down by its 4K performance, which is weak compared to systems with higher-tier GPUs. In contrast, at 1080p, the combo performs respectably, but the overall rank reflects the average experience across all resolutions and settings. The rank of 1339 is a clear signal that this is not a top-tier Fivem setup, but rather a mid-range option that requires careful settings selection to achieve a satisfactory frame rate.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For a smooth 60 FPS experience, the 2560x1440 High settings row delivers an average of 65.1 FPS, which is the best balance of visual quality and performance at that resolution. Pushing to Ultra at 1440p drops the average to 52.4 FPS, which may be too low for competitive play. At 1920x1080, the High preset provides 97.7 FPS, offering a significant margin over 60 FPS, while the Medium preset achieves 122.6 FPS, which is an excellent choice for high refresh rate monitors. The Low preset at 1080p yields 159.6 FPS, but this sacrifices visual fidelity for speed, which may not be necessary.

For users with a 4K display, the data indicates that this combo is not ideal. The highest average FPS at 3840x2160 is 56.5 on Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset achieves 44.9 FPS, and High drops to 34.4 FPS, with Ultra at 30.4 FPS. These figures suggest that 4K gaming is not viable with this combo, and users should either lower the resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance. The best overall experience, considering both visual quality and frame rate, is the 2560x1440 High preset at 65.1 FPS. This provides a playable frame rate while retaining higher graphical details. Alternatively, for those prioritizing frame rate over visuals, the 1920x1080 Medium setting at 122.6 FPS offers a robust experience. The data clearly shows that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with Medium to High settings providing the most balanced experience.
