Fivem

The Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination delivers exceptional performance in Fivem, placing in the top 2% of all tested configurations. The benchmark data shows a system that can handle the game's demanding multiplayer environments with ease, though the specific settings and resolution choices significantly impact the final frame rates. This analysis breaks down the measured results to help determine the optimal configuration for your hardware.

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

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor from the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, boosting up to 5.00 GHz. This high boost clock is crucial for Fivem, which is a multiplayer modification that often relies on single-threaded performance for game logic and physics. The processor's 25 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain data locality, reducing latency when accessing frequently used game assets.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i7-12700KF scores 4,091 points in Cinebench R23 single-core and 28,979 in multi-core. These scores indicate strong per-thread capability, which is essential for maintaining stable frame rates in populated Fivem servers. The multi-core performance becomes more relevant when many players are present, as the game's server-side scripts and client-side rendering tasks can spread across multiple threads. The 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its position as a high-end processor, though the nearest rivals show how close the competition is. The Intel Core i5-14400 scores within 0.1% of the i7-12700KF, while the Intel Core i9-12900HX is only 0.2% ahead. This suggests that the i7-12700KF is already near the practical ceiling for this game's CPU demands.

The processor's 125W TDP and unlocked multiplier indicate it is designed for performance-oriented builds. With a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, the i7-12700KF can quickly respond to the varying load demands of Fivem, whether you are driving through a busy city or standing idle in a crowded lobby. The benchmark results show that the CPU is not the bottleneck in most scenarios, as the GPU is capable of producing very high frame rates across all tested settings and resolutions.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the flagship of the Ada Lovelace generation, built on TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, providing 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. This massive memory capacity and bandwidth are more than sufficient for Fivem, which is not particularly VRAM-hungry but benefits from the headroom for texture streaming and high-resolution rendering. The GPU's base clock is 2235 MHz with a boost clock of 2520 MHz, and it operates at a 450W TDP.

The RTX 4090 achieves a 91st percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 66,473. Its nearest rivals in the database include professional workstation cards like the NVIDIA Tesla T4 and Quadro P6000, which shows that this consumer GPU outperforms or matches many enterprise solutions. The 16384 shading units and 128 ray tracing cores provide immense compute capacity, but in Fivem, the raw rasterization performance is what drives the high frame rates seen in the measured data.

The GPU's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is far beyond what Fivem requires, but this headroom ensures that the frame rate remains high even in complex scenes with many vehicles and players. The 24 GB VRAM is particularly advantageous at 3840x2160 resolution, where the game can use more memory for high-resolution textures without any risk of hitting a VRAM limit. The benchmark results show that the RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing, with the CPU rarely limiting the achievable frame rate.

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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trade-off between visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 350 FPS, which is far beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. The Medium preset drops to 291.9 FPS, still excellent, while High runs at 230.1 FPS and Ultra at 178.8 FPS. For competitive play, the Low or Medium presets are recommended to maximize frame rate and reduce input latency, though the difference between Low and Medium may be worth the visual improvement.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves 242.8 FPS, which is still very high. Medium runs at 193.7 FPS, and High at 154.8 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 119.1 FPS, which is still smooth for most users. For a balance of visual fidelity and performance, the High preset at 1440p is a solid choice, offering a 154.8 FPS average that exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become more constrained. Low runs at 135.9 FPS, Medium at 104.3 FPS, High at 85.4 FPS, and Ultra at 63.4 FPS. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset provides a good balance, with 104.3 FPS being smooth enough for most players. The Ultra preset at 63.4 FPS is still playable but may feel less responsive in fast-paced scenarios. The data suggests that the RTX 4090 can handle 4K gaming well, but the CPU and GPU combination is better suited for 1440p or 1080p where higher frame rates are achievable.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This configuration of the Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 35th out of 1,792 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the top 2% of all configurations, which is a strong result given the game's demanding multiplayer nature. The ranking indicates that this combo is among the best-performing systems for Fivem, but it also shows that there are 34 other combinations that achieve higher average frame rates.

The fact that this combo ranks 35th suggests that the RTX 4090 is not the sole determinant of performance; the CPU plays a significant role in Fivem's frame rate. The i7-12700KF's strong single-threaded performance helps, but other combos with more powerful CPUs or better memory configurations may edge out this setup. The 89th percentile CPU ranking and 91st percentile GPU ranking indicate that both components are near the top of their respective categories, but the combination does not reach the absolute peak.

In practical terms, the 35th rank means that this system will provide an excellent experience in Fivem, with frame rates that are well above average. The measured FPS data supports this, showing that even the most demanding settings at 4K produce playable frame rates. For most users, this combo will be more than sufficient, and the ranking provides context for how it compares to other high-end systems in the database.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the performance is exceptional across all settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 350 FPS, which is the highest measured value for this combo. Medium runs at 291.9 FPS, High at 230.1 FPS, and Ultra at 178.8 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline in frame rate, with the Ultra preset delivering roughly half the frame rate of Low. This indicates that the game's ultra settings impose a significant rendering load, but even the lowest performance at this resolution is far above typical display refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced drop at higher settings. Low runs at 242.8 FPS, Medium at 193.7 FPS, High at 154.8 FPS, and Ultra at 119.1 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is nearly 124 FPS, which is a substantial gap. The High preset at 154.8 FPS is still very smooth for most users, and the Ultra preset at 119.1 FPS is acceptable for those who prioritize visual quality over raw frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the performance is more constrained, reflecting the increased GPU workload at 4K resolution. Low runs at 135.9 FPS, Medium at 104.3 FPS, High at 85.4 FPS, and Ultra at 63.4 FPS. The Low preset at 4K still delivers over double the frame rate of the Ultra preset, showing that the game's settings have a larger impact at higher resolutions. The 63.4 FPS minimum at Ultra is the lowest measured average for this combo, but it remains above the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The data shows that this system can handle 4K gaming, but the settings must be adjusted to maintain high frame rates.
