GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1700 MHz, with a game clock of 2400 MHz and a boost clock of 2990 MHz. These specifications place the card in the Radeon RX 9000 series, built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip.

In Fivem, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution scales upward. The data shows that at 1920x1080, the GPU has ample headroom, with Low settings producing 175 average FPS and High settings still delivering 111 average FPS. However, at 3840x2160, the GPU becomes a significant constraint. The gap between Low (64 FPS) and High (40 FPS) at 4K demonstrates how the GPU's render load directly impacts frame delivery in this title.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the measured settings, but the 128-bit memory bus may limit performance at higher resolutions. The transition from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 shows a substantial performance penalty across all settings, indicating that the GPU's fill rate and memory subsystem are stressed by 4K rendering in Fivem. The GPU's 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability and 191.4 GPixel/s pixel rate provide the raw throughput for the measured results, but the 4K Ultra configuration (31 FPS) clearly exceeds the card's comfortable operating range.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 59 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16014, places it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in synthetic tests. This relationship is reflected in the game's measured performance, where the GPU handles 1080p and 1440p well but struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It features a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with 25 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and its 125 W TDP reflects its performance-oriented design.

In Fivem, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 175 average FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at high frame rates. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 9282 and the max_threads score of 9983 indicate strong multi-threaded performance, which is relevant for Fivem's multiplayer environments that may involve multiple NPCs and physics calculations.

The CPU's single-thread performance, measured at 1043 in 3dmark_single_thread and 4071 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is crucial for maintaining consistent frame pacing. The boost clock of 5.00 GHz provides the high-frequency response needed for the game's main thread, while the 20 threads allow background tasks to run without interfering with gameplay. The passmark_single_thread score of 3984 further confirms the CPU's strong per-core performance.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the i7-12700KF's average benchmark score of 35365 is nearly identical to the i7-13700T (35403, -0.1%) and i5-13600T (35305, +0.2%). This indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor in the measured FPS results — the performance deltas between these processors are negligible. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking against all CPUs shows it is a strong performer, and in Fivem, it appears to provide sufficient headroom that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-12700KF and AMD Radeon RX 9060 ranks 1714th out of 3005 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the 57th percentile of all configurations. This ranking reflects the interplay between the CPU's strong synthetic performance (85th percentile) and the GPU's more modest standing (59th percentile).

The CPU's benchmark scores substantially exceed the GPU's relative standing. The i7-12700KF's average benchmark score of 35365 puts it in the top 15% of all CPUs, while the RX 9060's average score of 16014 places it in the 59th percentile of GPUs. This imbalance suggests that the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's limitations, particularly at higher resolutions.

Examining the measured FPS data, the combo performs best at 1920x1080, where it achieves 111 average FPS at High settings and 175 at Low. At 2560x1440, the performance drops to 73 average FPS at High and 56 at Ultra. At 3840x2160, the combo falls to 40 average FPS at High and 31 at Ultra, which are marginal for smooth gameplay.

The rank of 1714 out of 3005 indicates that a significant portion of tested combos outperform this configuration. Given the CPU's strong synthetic scores, the GPU is the primary factor limiting the combo's position. The RX 9060's performance relative to its nearest rivals — within 2.1% of the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 and Radeon RX 7700 — shows it is a mid-tier GPU, and Fivem's results reflect this positioning.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate.

At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 111 average FPS, which is smooth for most players. The Medium preset yields 138 average FPS with a minimum of 117 and maximum of 159, providing a good balance between visual quality and performance. For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 175 average FPS is the fastest option, but the visual compromise may not be worth it given the High preset's already strong performance.

At 2560x1440, the High preset produces 73 average FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. The Medium preset at 91 average FPS (min 77, max 105) is the recommended choice for this resolution, as it maintains frame rates above 75 FPS throughout the measured range. The Low preset at 115 average FPS offers a significant performance boost if visual fidelity is less important, but Medium provides a better visual experience with acceptable performance.

At 3840x2160, the options are more constrained. The Low preset at 64 average FPS is the only configuration that exceeds 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K play. The Medium preset at 50 average FPS (min 43, max 58) is borderline playable, but frame drops below 45 FPS may be noticeable. The High preset at 40 average FPS and Ultra at 31 average FPS are not recommended for smooth gameplay.

Overall, the best experience per the measured rows is achieved at 1920x1080 with High settings (111 FPS) or 2560x1440 with Medium settings (91 FPS). These configurations provide the best balance of visual quality and performance without falling below playable frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are:

• Low: 175 FPS
• Medium: 138 FPS (min 117, max 159)
• High: 111 FPS
• Ultra: 86 FPS

The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline: 175 → 138 → 111 → 86. The difference between Low and Ultra is 89 FPS, representing a 51% reduction in frame rate. The Medium preset's minimum of 117 FPS and maximum of 159 FPS show a 42 FPS range, indicating some frame time variance but generally stable performance.

At 2560x1440, the measured average FPS values are:

• Low: 115 FPS
• Medium: 91 FPS (min 77, max 105)
• High: 73 FPS
• Ultra: 56 FPS

The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by approximately 34-37% across settings. The Medium preset's min/max range of 77-105 FPS shows a 28 FPS spread, which is narrower than at 1080p, suggesting more consistent frame delivery at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the measured average FPS values are:

• Low: 64 FPS
• Medium: 50 FPS (min 43, max 58)
• High: 40 FPS
• Ultra: 31 FPS

The 4K results show a dramatic performance drop. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 33 FPS, representing a 52% reduction. The Medium preset's minimum of 43 FPS indicates that even the mid-range settings can dip below 45 FPS, which may be noticeable in gameplay. The Ultra setting at 31 FPS is effectively unplayable for most users.

Across all resolutions, the scaling pattern is consistent: each settings tier reduces performance by roughly 20-25%, and each resolution increase reduces performance by approximately 35-40%.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals important information about the limiting component in this configuration.

At Low settings, the FPS progression is 175 (1080p) → 115 (1440p) → 64 (4K). This represents a 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 44% drop from 1440p to 4K. The total reduction from 1080p to 4K is 63%.

At Medium settings, the progression is 138 (1080p) → 91 (1440p) → 50 (4K). The drops are 34% from 1080p to 1440p, and 45% from 1440p to 4K, with a total reduction of 64%.

At High settings, the progression is 111 (1080p) → 73 (1440p) → 40 (4K). The drops are 34% from 1080p to 1440p, and 45% from 1440p to 4K, with a total reduction of 64%.

At Ultra settings, the progression is 86 (1080p) → 56 (1440p) → 31 (4K). The drops are 35% from 1080p to 1440p, and 45% from 1440p to 4K, with a total reduction of 64%.

The consistency of these percentages across all settings is notable. Whether at Low or Ultra, the resolution scaling penalty is nearly identical, which indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the scaling to be less severe at lower settings where the CPU has more work to do relative to the GPU.

The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop (34-35%) is slightly less than the 1440p to 4K drop (44-45%) suggests that the GPU's memory bandwidth and fill rate become increasingly strained at higher resolutions. The RX 9060's 288.0 GB/s bandwidth and 128-bit memory bus are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K pixel count (over 8.3 million pixels) exceeds the card's comfortable throughput.

The CPU's strong performance metrics — with a 5.00 GHz boost clock and 3dmark_max_threads score of 9983 — suggest it could support higher frame rates if the GPU were more capable. The measured data shows that the CPU is not the primary constraint in this configuration; rather, the GPU's mid-tier positioning (59th percentile) determines the combo's performance ceiling at higher resolutions. This explains why the combo ranks 1714th out of 3005 — the CPU has headroom that the GPU cannot fully utilize, particularly at 1440p and 4K.
