Core i3-12300HL
Modelled frame rate limit of 125 FPS. That is roughly the fastest this processor can feed a graphics card in a modern AAA title, no matter which card you fit.
Best match at each resolution
| Resolution | Closest matched card | Estimated FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Radeon RX 9070 GRE | 125 |
| 1440p | GeForce RTX 5070 Ti | 125 |
| 4K | GeForce RTX 5090 | 125 |
"Closest matched" means the two parts run out of headroom at about the same frame rate, so neither is obviously wasted. A faster card is still worth buying if you plan to raise the resolution later.
The cards it lands closest to
The 24 graphics cards whose frame rate limit sits nearest this processor's, fastest first. Anything faster than the top of this table is wasted on it at 1080p, and anything slower is a card it will never trouble. For any other combination, use the calculator.
