Fivem

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT delivers a robust Fivem experience, with the data indicating that the Medium preset offers the most balanced performance across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium produces an average of 191 FPS, which is only 51 FPS below the Low preset’s 242 FPS but a substantial 72 FPS above the High preset’s 153 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Medium setting yields 126 FPS, maintaining a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, while the High preset drops to 101 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, Medium holds at 70 FPS, providing a playable experience where High falls to 56 FPS and Ultra to 43 FPS. The Medium preset also provides the only measured FPS range data, showing a minimum of 59 FPS at 4K, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 162 FPS at 1080p, indicating consistent frame pacing without severe dips.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data clearly indicates that the Medium settings preset is the optimal choice for this combination of CPU and GPU in Fivem. The performance scaling from Medium to High is steep; at 1920x1080, the average FPS drops from 191 to 153, a 38 FPS reduction, while the visual fidelity gains from Medium to High are typically marginal in a multiplayer title like Fivem. At 2560x1440, the drop is 25 FPS (from 126 to 101), and at 3840x2160, the drop is 14 FPS (from 70 to 56). The Low preset, while offering higher frame rates (242 FPS at 1080p, 159 FPS at 1440p, and 88 FPS at 4K), sacrifices too much visual quality for a game where environmental detail and draw distance are often crucial for gameplay awareness.

The Ultra preset, conversely, is not recommended for this hardware configuration. It pushes the average FPS down to 119 at 1080p, 78 at 1440p, and a borderline unplayable 43 at 4K. The data suggests that the performance cost of Ultra is disproportionate to the benefit, especially when Medium already provides frame rates well above the refresh rate of most monitors at 1080p and 1440p. For players targeting 4K, the Medium preset’s 70 FPS average is the only setting that ensures a smooth experience, as High (56 FPS) and Ultra (43 FPS) both fall below the 60 FPS standard. The Low preset at 4K, with 88 FPS, is viable for competitive play, but the Medium preset offers a superior balance of visual clarity and performance.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is a significant factor in this combo’s Fivem performance, particularly given its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 512.0 GB/s memory bandwidth. The GPU’s 72 ray accelerators and 128 ROPs, along with a boost clock of 2250 MHz and a game clock of 2015 MHz, provide substantial raw throughput. Fivem, being a multiplayer mod for Grand Theft Auto V, often relies heavily on texture streaming and draw distance, which places a premium on VRAM capacity. The 16 GB frame buffer ensures that even at 3840x2160 with High settings, the GPU does not appear to be bottlenecked by memory capacity, as evidenced by the measured 56 FPS average.

However, the data shows that the GPU is not the sole limiting factor. The performance drop from Low to Ultra settings at 1080p (from 242 FPS to 119 FPS) indicates that the GPU is being progressively stressed. The RX 6800 XT’s 20.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is capable of high frame rates, but the game’s engine and the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU become more critical at lower resolutions. The fact that the 4K Low preset (88 FPS) is 14 FPS slower than the 1440p Low preset (159 FPS) shows the GPU’s rendering load scales with resolution, but the 1080p Low preset (242 FPS) being 83 FPS higher than the 1440p Low preset suggests that the CPU is still able to keep up at 1080p. The GPU’s 16 GB memory size is a clear advantage for a mod-heavy game like Fivem, where custom assets can easily consume more than 8 GB of VRAM.

How This Combo Ranks

In the aggregate database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i7-12700KF and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT holds the 1162nd position out of 3707 combos for Fivem. This places it in the upper third of all configurations, which is a strong result given the hardware’s generation. The comboRankInGame of 1162 out of 3707 indicates that while this is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it outperforms the majority of tested systems. The CPU itself ranks in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU also ranks in the 85th percentile among all GPUs, suggesting a well-matched pair where neither component is drastically underpowered relative to the other.

The rank data implies that there are 1161 combos that perform better in this specific game, which likely include newer-generation CPUs (like the Core i7-13700T, which scores 0.1% higher in average benchmarks) and higher-end GPUs (like the RTX 5070 Ti, which scores 3% higher). However, the deltaPct values from the nearestRivals show that the i7-12700KF is extremely close in synthetic benchmark performance to its direct competitors, with a -0.1% difference from the Core i7-13700T and a 0.2% difference from the Core i5-13600T. This suggests that the Fivem combo rank is more influenced by the GPU’s performance than the CPU’s, as the RX 6800 XT’s nearest rival, the RTX A1000 Mobile, is 1.5% lower in average score, while the Intel Arc A550M is 2.5% higher. The data indicates that in Fivem, the combination’s ranking is solidly mid-pack among high-end hardware, with the potential for better results coming primarily from a more powerful GPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at how this combo performs across a matrix of resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from a high of 242 on Low to a low of 119 on Ultra. The Medium preset delivers 191 FPS with a minimum of 162 and a maximum of 220, while High produces 153 FPS. At 2560x1440, the averages are 159 FPS on Low, 126 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 107 and a maximum of 145), 101 FPS on High, and 78 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the averages drop to 88 FPS on Low, 70 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 80), 56 FPS on High, and 43 FPS on Ultra.

These numbers reveal a clear pattern: the performance penalty for each step up in settings is consistent but non-linear. From Low to Medium at 1080p, the FPS drops by 51 (from 242 to 191), a 21% reduction. From Medium to High, the drop is 38 FPS (from 191 to 153), a 20% reduction. From High to Ultra, the drop is 34 FPS (from 153 to 119), a 22% reduction. This consistency suggests that the GPU is scaling its workload evenly with each preset level. At 1440p, the same steps show drops of 33 FPS (Low to Medium), 25 FPS (Medium to High), and 23 FPS (High to Ultra). At 4K, the drops are 18 FPS (Low to Medium), 14 FPS (Medium to High), and 13 FPS (High to Ultra). The smaller absolute drops at higher resolutions indicate that the GPU is becoming the limiting factor, as the resolution increase is already consuming most of its available performance headroom.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 shows how the system’s performance scales with resolution, and the data points to a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 242 at 1080p to 159 at 1440p (a 34% reduction) and then to 88 at 4K (a 45% reduction from 1440p). At Medium settings, the drop is from 191 to 126 (a 34% reduction) and then to 70 (a 44% reduction). At High settings, the drop is from 153 to 101 (a 34% reduction) and then to 56 (a 45% reduction). At Ultra settings, the drop is from 119 to 78 (a 34% reduction) and then to 43 (a 45% reduction).

The uniformity of these percentage drops (34% from 1080p to 1440p and 45% from 1440p to 4K) across all settings is a strong indicator that the resolution scaling is purely a function of pixel count, which is a GPU workload. The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop is not steeper suggests that the CPU is still able to provide enough frames to keep the GPU busy at 1440p. However, the 4K results, where even the Low preset only achieves 88 FPS, show that the RX 6800 XT’s raw fill rate and shading power are the primary constraints. The Intel Core i7-12700KF, with its 12 cores and 20 threads and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, is likely not the bottleneck at 4K, as the GPU is clearly saturated. At 1080p, the 242 FPS Low result indicates the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates, but the scaling to 1440p and 4K demonstrates the GPU’s influence grows with resolution.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. In Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often involves complex server-side scripting and physics calculations, the CPU’s multi-threaded performance is crucial. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 28838 and its Passmark multithread score of 34092 indicate strong parallel processing capability, which helps maintain frame rates in crowded server environments. The CPU’s 25 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache also aid in reducing latency for frequently accessed game data.

The benchmark results show that the i7-12700KF is well-matched to the RX 6800 XT. The CPU’s single-thread performance, as evidenced by a Geekbench single-core score of 2255 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3984, is sufficient to handle the game’s main thread. The data suggests that at 1080p with Low settings (242 FPS), the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates, but the GPU is not the bottleneck until higher resolutions. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs, and its proximity to rivals like the Core i7-13700T (0.1% slower) and Core i5-13600T (0.2% faster), shows that it is a top-tier performer for its generation. In Fivem, where frame rates are often variable due to player count and mods, the i7-12700KF’s 20 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks, ensuring that the GPU is not starved of data. The CPU’s 125 W TDP and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory further enhance its flexibility, though the specific memory type used in the measured tests is not detailed.
