Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 delivers a benchmark profile that is heavily dependent on resolution for Fivem. The data shows a clear tiered performance structure: at 1920x1080, the combination is overwhelmingly capable, while at 3840x2160, it falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold across all tested settings. The measured results indicate that this is a 1080p-centric configuration, with 1440p offering a solid but more constrained experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces its strongest results. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 160 FPS. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 126.7 FPS. High settings still deliver a robust 103.7 FPS average. Even at the most demanding Ultra preset, the system maintains an average of 77.7 FPS. All four presets at this resolution clear the 60 FPS playable threshold by a significant margin, with the gap ranging from 17.7 FPS at Ultra to 100 FPS at Low.

Scaling to 2560x1440, the performance metrics show a substantial reduction. The Low preset average falls to 104.4 FPS, which remains far above the threshold. Medium settings produce an average of 85.3 FPS. High settings still achieve a playable 65.5 FPS average. However, the Ultra preset drops to 49.4 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data indicates that the transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 35-40% of the frame rate at each corresponding settings level.

At 3840x2160, the configuration struggles to maintain playability. The Low preset averages 55.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings further decline to 45.2 FPS. High settings produce 40.2 FPS. The Ultra preset yields only 28.9 FPS. None of the tested settings at 4K reach the playable threshold, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay with this hardware combination.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, provide context for its performance tier. The Intel Core i5-12400 has an average benchmark score of 18683. The AMD EPYC 7643 sits just above it with a score of 18697, representing a negligible 0.1% difference. The Intel Core i7-1355U scores 18730, which is 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 18811, 0.7% higher. On the lower side, the Intel Core i3-14100F scores 18519, which is 0.9% below the i5-12400. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, indicating that in synthetic CPU workloads, the i5-12400 is effectively interchangeable with these four processors.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 has an average benchmark score of 15171. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, scores 15199, a 0.2% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 15082, which is 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon 680M integrated graphics score 15270, 0.7% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 15063, 0.7% lower. The tight clustering of these scores suggests that in terms of raw compute benchmarks, systems built with any of these GPUs would exhibit similar performance ceilings. However, for Fivem specifically, the measured FPS data reflects the actual game workload, which may not align perfectly with synthetic averages.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the balance of CPU and GPU load shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the GPU is likely the primary limiter, but the CPU’s performance is sufficient to feed it. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 160 FPS to 77.7 FPS drop, a 51% reduction in frame rate as the graphics load increases. This indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by higher presets, while the CPU maintains enough headroom.

At 2560x1440, the same settings progression shows a 104.4 FPS to 49.4 FPS drop, a 53% reduction. The similar percentage drop across resolutions suggests that the relative balance between CPU and GPU does not shift dramatically from 1080p to 1440p. The absolute numbers are lower, indicating that the GPU is working harder at the higher resolution, but the CPU is not becoming the bottleneck.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates fall below the playable threshold. The Low preset at 4K produces 55.5 FPS, which is lower than the 1080p Ultra preset’s 77.7 FPS. This large drop from 1440p to 4K points to the GPU being the dominant constraint. The CPU’s role becomes less significant at 4K because the GPU cannot render frames fast enough to demand more from the processor. The data supports the conclusion that the RX 7600 is the limiting component at higher resolutions, while the i5-12400 remains a capable partner throughout.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination ranks 2530 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. This places it in the lower-middle portion of all tested configurations. The percentile data for the individual components provides some context: the CPU is at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 57th percentile among all GPUs. The combo rank is lower than either component’s individual percentile would suggest, indicating that the pairing is not optimally balanced for this game.

The rank of 2530 out of 3707 means that roughly 68% of tested combos perform better than this one in Fivem. This is a meaningful distinction, as it shows that while the individual components are mid-tier, the combination does not boost itself above its parts. The 1080p results are strong, but the database likely includes many higher-end GPUs that push the average frame rates higher. The 4K results, which are all below 60 FPS, likely drag the overall rank down compared to combos that can handle higher resolutions.

The Verdict

The verdict data is clear: this PC can run Fivem well at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with the Ultra preset achieving 77.7 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low (104.4 FPS), Medium (85.3 FPS), and High (65.5 FPS). The Ultra preset at 1440p is not playable, falling short at 49.4 FPS.

At 3840x2160, no settings are playable. The best result is the Low preset at 55.5 FPS, which is 4.5 FPS below the threshold. The data shows no playable settings for 4K, meaning users must either lower the resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance. For a smooth experience, the recommendation is to use 1080p or 1440p with the appropriate settings as detailed in the next section.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 77.7 FPS. This is the best visual quality available while maintaining playability. Lower presets offer higher frame rates—Medium at 126.7 FPS, High at 103.7 FPS, and Low at 160 FPS—but they do so at reduced visual fidelity.

For 2560x1440, the best preset that maintains 60 FPS is High, with an average of 65.5 FPS. This provides a balance between visual quality and performance, clearing the threshold by 5.5 FPS. Medium (85.3 FPS) and Low (104.4 FPS) are also playable, but High offers the best graphics among the playable options. Ultra at 1440p is not recommended, as it falls below the threshold.

For 3840x2160, there is no best setting, as no preset achieves 60 FPS. The Low preset comes closest at 55.5 FPS, but it is still below the playable threshold. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates in the 29-56 FPS range depending on the preset.
