Fivem

Intel Core i5-12400 and AMD Radeon RX 580 is a pairing that lands in the middle of the database’s tested combinations for Fivem, with a combo rank of 3358 out of 3707. This places it in the lower half of tested systems, but the recorded frame rates show that it can still deliver a smooth experience at standard resolutions when settings are managed carefully. The data indicates that this is a system built for 1080p gameplay, with higher resolutions requiring significant compromises that ultimately do not meet the playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows no playable settings for this combination. The highest average frame rate observed at this resolution is 31.6 FPS on Low settings, which falls well below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K produces an average of 16.8 FPS, while High and Medium presets yield 20.9 FPS and 24.5 FPS respectively. All of these values remain far from the target, making 4K unviable for this hardware.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but still does not reach playable levels. The best result comes from the Low preset, which delivers an average of 55.1 FPS. This is just under the 60 FPS threshold, meaning no setting at 1440p achieves a consistent playable experience. The Medium preset reaches 47 FPS, High drops to 36.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 25.2 FPS. None of these configurations clear the required bar.

At 1920x1080, the system finally finds its footing. The database lists Low and Medium as playable settings, with Medium being the best playable option. The Medium preset achieves an average of 67.3 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset records an average of 88.1 FPS, providing a smoother experience with more headroom. High settings at 1080p produce 53.9 FPS, which is just below playable, while Ultra drops to 41.2 FPS. For the best visual quality that still maintains playable performance, Medium at 1080p is the recommended configuration.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data shows a clear pattern of resolution and preset sensitivity that points to the GPU being the primary limiting factor in this pairing. The frame rate scaling across resolutions is steep: at Low settings, the average FPS drops from 88.1 at 1080p to 55.1 at 1440p, a reduction of approximately 37 percent, and then further down to 31.6 at 4K. This magnitude of performance loss with increasing resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the Radeon RX 580’s rendering throughput becomes the bottleneck.

The preset scaling within each resolution reinforces this conclusion. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces the average FPS from 88.1 to 67.3, a drop of about 24 percent. Going from Medium to High lowers it to 53.9, and High to Ultra brings it down to 41.2. This consistent degradation as visual quality increases indicates that the GPU is working at its limits even at the lowest resolution.

The CPU, an Intel Core i5-12400, has more than enough processing power for this workload. Its benchmark results are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15989 and a single-core score of 2257. The CPU’s percentile ranking of 72 against all tested processors means it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database. However, in Fivem, the recorded frame rates do not show the CPU becoming a limiting factor at any resolution or preset. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 46.9 FPS, which is entirely attributable to the GPU’s handling of increased graphical load. Even the weakest GPU result in this dataset, 16.8 FPS at 4K Ultra, does not suggest any CPU constraint. The data indicates that for this game, the Radeon RX 580 is the component that determines playability, while the i5-12400 provides ample headroom.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes a clear determination: this system can run Fivem, but only at 1920x1080 with Low or Medium settings. The verdict by resolution shows no playable settings at 3840x2160 or 2560x1440, meaning those resolutions are not viable for this hardware. At 1080p, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold with both Low and Medium presets, with Medium being the best playable option at 67.3 FPS average. High settings at 1080p fall just short at 53.9 FPS, so users who want a stable experience should stick to Medium or lower. This is a 1080p gaming system for Fivem, and pushing beyond that resolution will result in sub-60 FPS performance. The i5-12400 provides a solid foundation, but the RX 580 is the limiting factor for higher resolutions and more demanding presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals in the database, the Intel Core i5-12400 has an average benchmark score of 18683. The closest match is the AMD EPYC 7643, which scores 18697, a difference of only 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i7-1355U is also nearly identical at 18730, with a 0.3 percent delta.

For gaming workloads in Fivem, any of these CPUs would likely provide a similar level of performance, as the game does not appear to be CPU-bound in the measured data.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 580 has an average benchmark score of 12928. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile at 12940, a negligible 0.1 percent difference. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12986, which is 0.4 percent higher, meaning it would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem. On the lower side, the AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870, 0.5 percent lower, and the AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12847, 0.6 percent lower. These alternatives would all land within a very narrow performance band, suggesting that swapping to any of these GPUs would not meaningfully change the playability conclusions for this game. The RX 580 sits at the 53rd percentile of all GPUs, indicating it is a mid-pack performer that is best paired with a capable CPU like the i5-12400 for 1080p gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 with AMD Radeon RX 580 combination is ranked 3358 out of 3707 tested configurations in the database for Fivem. This places it in the bottom 10 percent of tested systems, which is a direct result of the GPU’s limitations at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU itself is well above average, ranking in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs, but the GPU’s 53rd percentile ranking drags the overall combo down. The measured frame rates confirm this ranking: the system can handle 1080p Medium at 67.3 FPS, but it cannot maintain 60 FPS at 1440p in any preset, and 4K is entirely out of reach. For users with this hardware, the database suggests that staying at 1080p with moderate settings is the only way to achieve a playable experience in Fivem.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates for this combination is as follows:

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 31.6 FPS, Medium averages 24.5 FPS, High averages 20.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 16.8 FPS. No minimum or maximum frame rates were recorded for any 4K setting.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 55.1 FPS, Medium averages 47 FPS, High averages 36.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 25.2 FPS. No minimum or maximum frame rates were recorded for any 1440p setting.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 88.1 FPS, Medium averages 67.3 FPS, High averages 53.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 41.2 FPS. No minimum or maximum frame rates were recorded for any 1080p setting.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution or preset reduces the average frame rate substantially. The only configurations that clear the 60 FPS playable threshold are 1080p Low and 1080p Medium. The gap between 1080p Low and 1440p Low is 33 FPS, which illustrates how much resolution impacts this GPU. Similarly, the difference between 1080p Medium and 1080p High is 13.4 FPS, showing that even a single preset step can push the system below playable levels. This combination is best described as a capable 1080p performer with clear limitations beyond that resolution.
