CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets in the measured FPS data reveals a clear division of labor. At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i5-12400 has ample headroom; the Low preset averages 175 FPS, and even Ultra maintains 86 FPS. The 33% drop from Low to High (175 to 111 FPS) and the 22% drop from High to Ultra (111 to 86 FPS) suggest the GPU is beginning to feel the load, but the CPU is not the bottleneck. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 910 and 16-thread score of 5873 indicate strong per-core performance that easily handles Fivem's multiplayer logic at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced. The Low preset averages 115 FPS, but High drops to 73 FPS, a 37% reduction. The Ultra preset falls to 56 FPS, below the playable threshold. This sharper decline compared to 1080p confirms the RX 9060's pixel throughput is the limiting factor. The GPU's 288.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 performance are sufficient for lower settings, but the increased pixel count at 1440p exposes its 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus limitations under heavier load.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is decisively in control. The Low preset averages 64 FPS, but Medium drops to 50 FPS, High to 40 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS. The 51% performance loss from Low to Ultra at 4K, compared to a 51% loss at 1440p (115 to 56 FPS) and a 51% loss at 1080p (175 to 86 FPS), shows a consistent pattern. This consistency across resolutions indicates the CPU is never the primary constraint; the RX 9060's rendering pipeline, with its 1792 shading units and 64 ROPs, is the determining factor for frame rates as settings scale.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows the full range of playability. The Low preset delivers an average of 175 FPS, which is the highest recorded score for this combo. Medium settings average 138 FPS, with a minimum of 117 and maximum of 159 FPS. High settings average 111 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 86 FPS, which still clears the 60 FPS threshold with margin. The spread from Low to Ultra is 89 FPS, indicating that the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution even at maximum fidelity.

At 2560x1440, performance tightens. The Low preset averages 115 FPS, a 34% reduction from 1080p Low. Medium averages 91 FPS, with a minimum of 77 and maximum of 105 FPS. High averages 73 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 56 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 59 FPS, showing a narrower but still substantial performance envelope.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles under load. The Low preset averages 64 FPS, just above the playable threshold. Medium averages 50 FPS, with a minimum of 43 and maximum of 58 FPS. High averages 40 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 31 FPS, which is less than half the frame rate of the Low preset. The 33 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is the smallest of any resolution, reflecting the GPU's diminishing ability to scale with increased graphical demands. Notably, the minimum FPS values are only recorded for Medium settings at each resolution, with 117 at 1080p, 77 at 1440p, and 43 at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination ranks 2172 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the pairing in the 58.6th percentile of all configurations in the database. The CPU's individual percentile of 72 versus the GPU's percentile of 59 suggests the graphics card is the weaker link, dragging the overall combo rank below the CPU's standalone standing. The data implies that a stronger GPU would boost this combo's position, while the CPU has more headroom relative to its peers.

The combo rank of 2172 indicates that a majority of tested systems outperform this pairing in Fivem. However, the measured FPS data shows that this rank is heavily influenced by 4K performance, where the system fails to maintain playability at most settings. At 1080p and 1440p, the combo's actual frame rates are competitive, with the 1080p Ultra preset matching the 86 FPS average. The rank likely reflects the aggregate performance across all resolutions and settings, penalizing the weak 4K results more than the strong 1080p results.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Fivem, but the verdict is conditional on resolution. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold: Low at 175 FPS, Medium at 138 FPS, High at 111 FPS, and Ultra at 86 FPS. This resolution is fully playable with no compromises. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: Low at 115 FPS, Medium at 91 FPS, and High at 73 FPS. The Ultra preset at 56 FPS is not playable, falling 4 FPS short of the threshold. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable, averaging 64 FPS. The Medium, High, and Ultra presets all fail to reach 60 FPS, with averages of 50, 40, and 31 FPS respectively.

The data indicates that the system is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it provides a high-performance experience across all settings. For 1440p, users must accept High settings as the maximum playable fidelity. For 4K, the system is only viable at Low settings, which may not provide a satisfactory visual experience for all users. The overall verdict is that this combo is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine, with marginal 4K capability.
