Fivem

Fivem is a multiplayer-focused title where frame pacing and consistency matter as much as raw peak output. The data for this Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B370 combination shows a system that is strictly limited by its graphics processor, with playable performance confined to lower resolutions and presets. The recorded measurements provide a clear picture of where this setup can operate within the 60 FPS threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest average recorded at this resolution is 29 FPS on Low settings, which falls far short of the target. Medium settings produce an average of 23 FPS, High drops to 18 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 14 FPS. The most demanding preset that could theoretically be considered is Low, since it yields the highest average, but it still misses the mark by a significant margin.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains below the playable threshold. Low settings deliver 53 FPS average, which is the closest any preset comes to 60 FPS at this resolution. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. None of these configurations clear the 60 FPS bar, so there is no recommended preset for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the system finally finds its footing. Low settings produce 80 FPS average, and Medium settings produce 63 FPS average. Both presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. High settings drop to 50 FPS, and Ultra falls to 39 FPS. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with a recorded average of 63 FPS. This is the optimal configuration for this resolution, balancing visual quality with playable frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is the dominant bottleneck in this pairing. The GPU's average benchmark score places it in the 5th percentile of all tested graphics cards, while the Core i5-12400 sits in the 72nd percentile of all tested CPUs. This disparity is stark and directly reflected in the frame rate scaling across resolutions.

When moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 63 to 41, a reduction of about 35%. Moving further to 3840x2160 on the same preset brings the average down to 23 FPS, another 44% drop. This steep decline as pixel count increases points squarely at the GPU as the limiting factor. The CPU has ample headroom, as evidenced by its strong multi-threaded scores (15989 in Cinebench R23 multicore, 18747 in Passmark multithread), but the graphics solution cannot keep pace with the increasing render load.

The role of the CPU becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the system achieves 80 FPS, and at Medium it holds 63 FPS. The delta between these presets is modest, suggesting that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at this resolution. However, the GPU's relatively low pixel rate (48.00 GPixel/s) and texture rate (96.00 GTexel/s) cap its ability to push higher frame rates. At 2560x1440 and above, the GPU's workload scales dramatically, and the frame rate collapses regardless of CPU capability.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides a comprehensive view of performance across all tested configurations.

3840x2160:

• Low: 29 FPS average
• Medium: 23 FPS average, 20 FPS minimum, 26 FPS maximum
• High: 18 FPS average
• Ultra: 14 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 53 FPS average
• Medium: 41 FPS average, 35 FPS minimum, 48 FPS maximum
• High: 33 FPS average
• Ultra: 26 FPS average

1920x1080:

• Low: 80 FPS average
• Medium: 63 FPS average, 54 FPS minimum, 72 FPS maximum
• High: 50 FPS average
• Ultra: 39 FPS average

The Medium preset at each resolution includes minimum and maximum frame data, which reveals frame pacing characteristics. At 1920x1080, the minimum of 54 FPS stays close to the playable threshold, though it does dip below 60. At 2560x1440, the minimum of 35 FPS shows noticeable stutter potential. At 3840x2160, the minimum of 20 FPS confirms the experience is unusable at that resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-12400 in the database include the AMD EPYC 7643 with an average score of 18697 (0.1% faster), the Intel Core i7-1355U with 18730 (0.3% faster), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 with 18811 (0.7% faster), and the Intel Core i3-14100F with 18519 (0.9% slower). These CPUs all fall within a narrow performance band, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the same GPU. The i3-14100F is the closest match from a desktop perspective, and its slightly lower score would not create a meaningful difference in this game's measured performance.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with an average score of 1186 (0.2% faster), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with 1190 (0.5% faster), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with 1192 (0.7% faster), and the AMD FirePro M2000 with 1168 (1.4% slower). These GPUs represent an older generation of hardware, but their benchmark scores place them in the same performance tier as the Arc B370. In practical terms, a system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would produce similar FPS results in Fivem, all falling below the 60 FPS target at 1440p and above.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only under specific conditions. The verdict data confirms that at 1920x1080, the system achieves playable frame rates on Low and Medium presets. The best playable configuration is Medium settings with an average of 63 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a small margin. Low settings provide additional headroom at 80 FPS average, making it the safer choice for consistent performance.

At 2560x1440 and 3840x2160, the system does not meet the playable threshold on any preset. The recorded verdict lists no playable settings for either resolution, and the highest average at 1440p is 53 FPS on Low, which falls short. Users targeting 1440p or 4K will need to lower resolution or upgrade the graphics component.

The practical takeaway is that this combination works for 1080p gaming with modest settings. The 63 FPS average at Medium is adequate, but the 54 FPS minimum recorded at that preset indicates occasional drops below the threshold. For a smoother experience, Low settings at 1080p provide a more comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3420 out of 3707 tested combos in the database for Fivem. This places it in the lower portion of all recorded configurations, roughly in the 8th percentile of tested systems. The ranking reflects the GPU's significant performance deficit relative to other graphics cards in the database.

The CPU itself is not the weak link, as its individual percentile rank of 72 indicates it outperforms the majority of tested processors. The combination's low overall rank is driven almost entirely by the Arc B370's 5th percentile standing among GPUs. This creates an unbalanced system where the CPU has substantial untapped potential, but the graphics solution prevents it from being realized in gaming workloads.

For context, the nearest CPU rivals all score within 1% of the i5-12400, meaning swapping in an i3-14100F or Ryzen AI 5 330 would not change the combo's ranking meaningfully. The GPU is the determining factor, and any improvement in frame rates would require a graphics card with a higher benchmark score. As recorded, this combo delivers playable 1080p performance on medium settings, but it sits near the bottom of the database's tested configurations for Fivem.
