The Medium preset delivers 62 FPS average with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS. The High preset achieves 49 FPS average, while the Ultra preset drops to 38 FPS average. The 40 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is the smallest of the three resolutions, confirming that the GPU is heavily constrained at this resolution regardless of quality settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about the limiting component in this system. At the Low preset, the frame rate drops from 214 FPS at 1080p to 141 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 78 FPS at 4K (a 64% reduction from 1080p). This scaling pattern is consistent with GPU-bound performance, where increasing pixel count directly impacts frame rate.

The Medium preset shows similar scaling behavior, with 169 FPS at 1080p, 111 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction), and 62 FPS at 4K (a 63% reduction from 1080p). The High preset scales from 135 FPS at 1080p to 89 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and 49 FPS at 4K (a 64% reduction). The Ultra preset follows the same pattern, with 105 FPS at 1080p, 69 FPS at 1440p (a 34% reduction), and 38 FPS at 4K (a 64% reduction).

The consistent 34% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and 63-64% reduction from 1080p to 4K across all settings indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would show less scaling with resolution, particularly at the Low preset where GPU load is reduced. The data suggests that the RTX 3070’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but become strained at 4K, where the average FPS falls below 60 for most settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K features 12 cores, 20 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. This 12th Gen Alder Lake processor is built on Intel’s 10 nm process and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The CPU’s benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance, with a 3DMark max threads score of 9979 and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19784. The single-thread performance is also robust, with a 3DMark single thread score of 1043 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2308.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p with the Low preset, where the 214 FPS average suggests that the processor is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to sustain very high frame rates. The CPU’s 84th percentile ranking against all tested CPUs indicates that the i7-12700K provides ample processing power for this game’s multi-player workloads, which often involve complex physics and network synchronization. The 12 cores and 20 threads allow the CPU to handle background tasks and game logic without becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions.

The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i5-13600T and Intel Core i7-12700KF, have average benchmark scores within 0.4% of the i7-12700K, confirming that this processor is well-matched to its peer group. The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in Fivem at resolutions above 1080p, as the frame rate scaling with resolution follows a GPU-bound pattern. At 4K, even with the Low preset, the 78 FPS average is likely constrained by the GPU rather than the CPU, as the processor’s strong multi-threading capabilities are more than sufficient for this game’s requirements.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz, with 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units. Built on Samsung’s 8 nm process with 17,400 million transistors, this Ampere architecture GPU delivers 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The GPU’s benchmark results show a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3162 and a Passmark G3D score of 22214.

The RTX 3070’s role in Fivem is clearly demonstrated by the frame rate scaling across resolutions. At 1080p, the GPU can sustain high frame rates across all settings, with the Ultra preset still achieving 105 FPS average. However, at 1440p, the Ultra preset drops to 69 FPS, and at 4K, the High preset falls to 49 FPS. This performance degradation is consistent with the GPU’s 61st percentile ranking against all tested GPUs, indicating that the RTX 3070 is a mid-range performer in the current landscape.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is likely a factor in the 4K performance, as the memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s may struggle with the higher texture and geometry loads at that resolution. The GPU’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690, have average benchmark scores within 1.1% of the RTX 3070, confirming its position in the mid-range segment. The data shows that the RTX 3070 is the primary bottleneck at 1440p and 4K, while at 1080p, the combination of CPU and GPU provides a balanced experience suitable for competitive play.
