Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the Intel Arc B580 presents a clear performance profile for Fivem, with the benchmark data showing a strong 1080p experience, a capable 1440p showing, and a definitive limitation at 4K. The measured FPS values, combined with the hardware's benchmark scores, indicate that this combination is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at standard resolutions, but it falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K across all tested presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The performance data for this combination in Fivem is measured across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the Arc B580 delivers excellent frame rates. The Ultra preset averages 73.3 FPS, while High settings reach 94 FPS. Dropping to Medium increases the average to 122.8 FPS, and the Low preset produces an average of 153.1 FPS. These figures show that at 1080p, the system has substantial headroom above the 60 FPS playable threshold, even at the highest visual quality.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains solid but begins to tighten. The High preset averages 64.2 FPS, which is just above the playable threshold. Medium settings produce an average of 76.8 FPS, and Low settings yield 99.3 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, drops to an average of 51.5 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS line. This indicates that at 1440p, the most demanding preset is not viable for smooth gameplay, but High and lower presets maintain playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the combination struggles to maintain playable performance. The Low preset averages 54.8 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 41.4 FPS, High settings average 33.7 FPS, and Ultra settings average 29.9 FPS. None of the 4K presets achieve the 60 FPS target, making this resolution unsuitable for this hardware pairing in Fivem. The data shows a clear scaling pattern: as resolution increases, the average FPS drops consistently across all presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this system have specific benchmark profiles that place them near other hardware. The Intel Core i5-12400 has an average benchmark score of 18683, which places it close to the AMD EPYC 7643 with an average score of 18697, a delta of -0.1 percent. It is also near the Intel Core i7-1355U, which scores 18730, a delta of -0.3 percent, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330, which scores 18811, a delta of -0.7 percent. The Intel Core i3-14100F scores 18519, a delta of 0.9 percent, meaning the i5-12400 performs slightly better than this rival.

The Intel Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021, with its nearest rival being the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, which scores 23061, a delta of -0.2 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, a delta of 0.6 percent, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, a delta of -0.7 percent. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, a delta of -1 percent. These delta values indicate that the Arc B580's performance is very close to these rival GPUs, with the RTX 3080 being slightly faster and the RX 580 2048SP being nearly identical in average score.

For users seeking similar performance in Fivem, a system with a CPU in the same benchmark range as the i5-12400 and a GPU matching the Arc B580's average score would produce comparable frame rates. The data suggests that the RTX 2080, with a score 0.6 percent lower, would perform nearly identically, while the RTX 3080, with a score 0.7 percent higher, would offer a marginal improvement.

FAQ

A: All four presets are playable at 1080p: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, with average FPS values ranging from 153.1 down to 73.3.

Q: Does the CPU's benchmark score suggest it is a bottleneck for this GPU?

A: The i5-12400 has an average score of 18683, and its nearest rival, the AMD EPYC 7643, scores 18697, a delta of -0.1 percent. This close alignment suggests the CPU is not an outlier in performance relative to its peers.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that this PC can run Fivem, but the playable experience depends heavily on the chosen resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold with all presets, including Ultra, which averages 73.3 FPS. This makes 1080p the optimal resolution for this combination, offering a smooth experience at maximum visual quality. At 2560x1440, the system remains playable with High settings, averaging 64.2 FPS, and also with Medium and Low presets, which produce 76.8 and 99.3 FPS respectively. The Ultra preset at 1440p, with an average of 51.5 FPS, falls below the playable threshold and is not recommended.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: this system cannot run Fivem at playable frame rates. The best 4K result is the Low preset, which averages 54.8 FPS, just under the 60 FPS target. All other 4K presets average below 42 FPS. The verdictByResolution data confirms that no 4K settings are listed as playable, with the best settings field returning null. Users targeting 4K would need a more powerful GPU or a lower resolution to achieve smooth gameplay.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Fivem's frame rates. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary driver, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to feed the Arc B580. The difference between Low and Ultra presets is significant, from 153.1 FPS down to 73.3 FPS, showing that the GPU's workload scales with graphical settings. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15989 and single-core score of 2257, indicate it can handle the game's logic without being a limiting factor at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more demanding, as the pixel count increases by roughly 78 percent compared to 1080p. The average FPS drops across all presets, with Ultra falling from 73.3 to 51.5 FPS, a reduction of about 30 percent. This scaling suggests the GPU is nearing its limits at this resolution, while the CPU continues to provide adequate support. The High preset still maintains 64.2 FPS, indicating the system balances both components well at this setting.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. The pixel count is four times that of 1080p, and the average FPS at Low settings is 54.8, which is lower than the 1080p Ultra result. This severe drop across all presets, from 54.8 FPS at Low to 29.9 FPS at Ultra, demonstrates that the Arc B580's processing power is insufficient for 4K gaming in Fivem. The CPU's performance is less relevant at this resolution, as the GPU cannot produce enough frames to saturate the processor's capabilities.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, with an average of 73.3 FPS. This is the highest visual quality available, and it still provides a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. The High preset at 94 FPS and Medium at 122.8 FPS offer even higher frame rates for users prioritizing performance over visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the best option, averaging 64.2 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that stays above 60 FPS, providing a good balance between image quality and smoothness. The Medium preset at 76.8 FPS and Low at 99.3 FPS are also playable, but they reduce visual quality. The Ultra preset at 51.5 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, there is no recommended preset, as no settings achieve an average of 60 FPS. The lowest tested preset, Low, averages 54.8 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The verdictByResolution data confirms this, showing an empty playable settings list and a null best settings value. Users at 4K should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p or 1080p for a playable experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 2834 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This places the system in the lower portion of the benchmark database, indicating that while it is capable of running the game at 1080p and 1440p, many other hardware combinations achieve higher frame rates. The rank reflects the overall performance of this specific pairing, taking into account the CPU's 72nd percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 18683 places it in the 72nd percentile, meaning it outperforms 72 percent of all tested CPUs. The GPU's average score of 23021 places it in the 68th percentile among GPUs. Despite these respectable individual rankings, the combination's rank of 2834 out of 3707 suggests that the pairing is not optimized for Fivem's specific demands. The data indicates that the system is better suited for 1080p gaming, where it ranks more favorably in terms of playable settings, but the overall rank shows that higher-performing alternatives exist for users seeking maximum frame rates.
