GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture using a 4 nm process at TSMC, featuring 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The memory operates at 2518 MHz with 20.1 Gbps effective speed, providing a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. This substantial memory allocation is particularly relevant for Fivem, a multiplayer modification that often loads large custom assets, textures, and vehicle models, which can quickly consume VRAM at higher resolutions.

The GPU’s clock speeds are notable, with a base clock of 1660 MHz and a boost clock of 2970 MHz. The game clock is listed at 2400 MHz, which represents the typical sustained frequency under load. In Fivem, the boost behavior of the GPU directly influences frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p Ultra settings, the combo achieves 127 FPS, while at 4K Ultra, it drops to 47 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops by over 60% from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings.

The GPU’s compute capabilities include 48.66 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 380.2 GPixel/s, which are more than sufficient for this title. The 128 ROPs and 256 TMUs help maintain fill rates that are necessary for the dense environments typical of Fivem servers. The card’s 64 ray tracing cores are present, though Fivem is not a title that heavily utilizes ray tracing, so this feature has minimal impact on the measured results. The GPU’s 304 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this performance class, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures adequate bandwidth for data transfer.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel’s 10 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, allowing for strong single-thread performance when needed. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, though the specific memory type used in the benchmark is not specified in the data. The processor’s 25 MB of shared L3 cache, along with 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, helps reduce latency in data-intensive tasks.

In Fivem, the CPU’s role is amplified due to the multiplayer nature of the game. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 260 FPS, which is 96 FPS higher than at 1080p High (164 FPS). This significant jump when lowering settings suggests that at lower graphical presets, the CPU is capable of feeding frames to the GPU at a very high rate, and the bottleneck shifts to the GPU. However, the CPU’s multi-threaded performance is crucial for maintaining stable frame rates in crowded areas with many players.

Benchmark results for the CPU show a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28,838 and a single-core score of 4,071. In comparison to its rivals, the 12700KF is nearly identical in average score to the 13700T and 13600T, with deltas of -0.1% and 0.2% respectively. This parity means that in CPU-bound scenarios in Fivem, the frame rates would be nearly indistinguishable among these processors. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates that it is a high-end part, and its performance in Fivem reflects this, as it does not appear to hold back the GPU at 1080p, where the combo reaches 260 FPS at Low settings.
