Fivem

FiveM on an Intel Core i5-12400 paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is a strong combination by the measured data, clearing the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution tested up to and including 4K, with at least one settings tier at each resolution. The i5-12400 is a 6-core, 12-thread Alder Lake-S desktop processor built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 2.50 GHz base clock, a 4.40 GHz boost clock, and a 65 W TDP, sitting in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs tested. The RTX 3070 is an Ampere-generation GA104 GPU with 5888 shading units, 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, placing it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. Below, the benchmark results are walked through resolution by resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can the i5-12400 + RTX 3070 run FiveM at 60 FPS?

A: Yes. Measured data shows the combo exceeds 60 FPS average at 1920x1080 on every preset (Low through Ultra), at 2560x1440 on every preset, and at 3840x2160 on Low and Medium.

Q: What is the highest settings preset that stays above 60 FPS at 4K?

A: Medium, at an average of 62 FPS. High drops to 49 FPS and Ultra to 38 FPS at 3840x2160, both below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How fast is this setup at 1080p in FiveM?

A: Between 105 FPS on Ultra and 214 FPS on Low. The 1080p Medium run measured a 169 FPS average with a 144 FPS minimum and a 194 FPS maximum.

Q: Is this combination among the better-tested pairings for FiveM?

A: It ranks 1575 out of 3707 tested combinations in this game, which places it in the top half of the database but not at the extreme high end.

Q: How capable is the CPU outside of gaming?

A: The i5-12400 scored 15989 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 2257 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 8564 in Geekbench multi-core, and 910 in 3DMark single-thread, reflecting a balanced profile for a 6-core, 12-thread part.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 compare to nearby GPUs?

A: Its average benchmark score of 17208 sits marginally above the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (17083, a 0.7% gap) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (17037, 1%), while trailing the NVIDIA Tesla K40c (17468) by 1.5%.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions tells the story of which component is doing the work. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on Ultra drops the average from 105 FPS to 69 FPS, and pushing to 3840x2160 on Ultra falls further to 38 FPS. That is a steep, resolution-driven decline — the signature of GPU limitation. When a CPU is the bottleneck, framerates tend to plateau as resolution rises; here they fall hard, which indicates the RTX 3070 is the limiting component at and above 1440p at higher presets.

The 1080p data supports this. At 1920x1080, the Medium run averages 169 FPS with a minimum of 144 FPS — the highest recorded minimum in the dataset. The fact that the combo sustains framerates well beyond 200 FPS on Low (214 FPS average) shows the i5-12400 is not capping the experience at mainstream resolutions; there is substantial headroom. With a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2257 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 910, the processor's per-core throughput is more than sufficient to feed the RTX 3070 in this title.

At 4K the picture fully inverts in favor of GPU importance: the spread between Low (78 FPS) and Ultra (38 FPS) at 3840x2160 is entirely determined by the graphics workload, since the CPU load does not change with preset. For a multiplayer title like FiveM, where consistent frame delivery matters, the data suggests pairing this GPU with a 1080p or 1440p display to keep framerates comfortably above the threshold, with the CPU playing a supporting but not constraining role.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured averages from the dataset; minimum and maximum values were recorded only for the Medium preset runs.

1920x1080:

• Low: 214 FPS average
• Medium: 169 FPS average, 144 FPS minimum, 194 FPS maximum
• High: 135 FPS average
• Ultra: 105 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 141 FPS average
• Medium: 111 FPS average, 94 FPS minimum, 128 FPS maximum
• High: 89 FPS average
• Ultra: 69 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low: 78 FPS average
• Medium: 62 FPS average, 52 FPS minimum, 71 FPS maximum
• High: 49 FPS average
• Ultra: 38 FPS average

The pattern is consistent and predictable: each step up in resolution costs roughly a third of the framerate at any given preset. On Medium, the averages run 169 → 111 → 62 across the three resolutions. The Medium minimums are instructive for playability. At 1080p, the 144 FPS minimum sits well above even the Ultra average. At 1440p, the 94 FPS minimum clears 60 FPS with room to spare. At 4K, the 52 FPS Medium minimum dips below the 60 FPS threshold even though the 62 FPS average clears it — meaning 4K Medium is playable on average but will produce sub-60 moments in demanding scenes. The 71 FPS maximum at 4K Medium confirms the ceiling is modest at that resolution.

The preset cost is also quantifiable. At 1440p, going from Ultra to Low nearly doubles the framerate (69 to 141 FPS). At 4K the same drop more than doubles it (38 to 78 FPS). High settings occupy a middle ground everywhere: 135, 89, and 49 FPS from 1080p to 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU side, the i5-12400's average benchmark score of 18683 lands it in a tight cluster of rivals. The AMD EPYC 7643 averages 18697, just 0.1% higher. The Intel Core i7-1355U averages 18730, 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 averages 18811, 0.7% higher. And the Intel Core i3-14100F averages 18519, 0.9% lower. All four of these parts would be expected to deliver near-identical CPU-side behavior in FiveM — the deltas are all within one percent, effectively indistinguishable in this workload given that the data shows the game leaning on the GPU at higher settings.

For the GPU side, the RTX 3070's average score of 17208 is bracketed by: the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT at 17083 (0.7% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 at 17037 (1% lower), the AMD Radeon HD 7970M at 17019 (1.1% lower), and the NVIDIA Tesla K40c at 17468 (1.5% higher). Swapping in any of these GPUs would be expected to produce framerates within a small margin of the measured results at every resolution and preset, since the aggregate performance scores differ by less than two percent in all cases.

Combining any CPU from the first group with any GPU from the second group would approximate the measured configuration. The practical takeaway: this performance tier is well-populated, and several alternate pairings would land in the same gameplay envelope — 60-plus FPS across the board at 1080p and 1440p, and Medium-quality playability at 4K.

The Verdict

Yes — this PC runs FiveM, and runs it well. The verdict-by-resolution data is unambiguous:

• 1920x1080: All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) clear 60 FPS. Best settings: Ultra at 105 FPS average.
• 2560x1440: All four presets clear 60 FPS. Best settings: Ultra at 69 FPS average.
• 3840x2160: Low (78 FPS) and Medium (62 FPS) clear 60 FPS. High (49 FPS) and Ultra (38 FPS) do not.

At 1080p and 1440p, the answer is a clean yes at maximum settings. At 4K, the answer is a qualified yes: Medium is the ceiling for a 60 FPS average, and the 52 FPS minimum on that preset means frame dips below the threshold will occur. Players targeting a strictly-above-60 experience at 4K would need to drop to Low, where the 78 FPS average provides more headroom, though no minimum was recorded for that run.

Given the game's 2017 release date and multiplayer genre, the measured performance is comfortably ahead of requirements at mainstream resolutions. This is not a borderline configuration — it is a configuration with surplus performance at 1080p and 1440p.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3707 tested combinations in FiveM, the i5-12400 + RTX 3070 pairing ranks 1575. That places it in the top half of the database — roughly the 43rd percentile of tested pairings for this specific game. The interpretation is straightforward: this is an above-average configuration for FiveM, but not an elite one. Fewer than half the tested combinations outrank it, while a majority trail it.

That ranking aligns with the component percentiles. The CPU sits in the 72nd percentile versus all tested CPUs and the GPU in the 61st percentile versus all tested GPUs — both above the median, neither at the extreme top. The rank of 1575 out of 3707 reflects exactly that composition: a solidly above-median CPU paired with a solidly above-median GPU, producing solidly above-median in-game results. For a multiplayer title where high-refresh 1080p and 1440p play is the common target, that ranking translates into practical headroom — the combo's weakest measured result at mainstream resolutions is the 69 FPS Ultra average at 1440p, still above threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured data, the most demanding preset that holds at or above the 60 FPS playability threshold at each resolution:

• 1920x1080 — Ultra, 105 FPS average. The full-settings preset clears the threshold by a wide margin; even the recorded Medium minimum of 144 FPS suggests frame stability is not a concern at this resolution.
• 2560x1440 — Ultra, 69 FPS average. Maximum settings remain playable at 1440p, though the margin over 60 FPS is narrower; the Medium minimum of 94 FPS indicates dropping one preset buys substantial consistency.
• 3840x2160 — Medium, 62 FPS average. Medium is the highest preset to average above 60 FPS at 4K. Its 52 FPS minimum is the caveat: average play is smooth, but dips below the threshold will occur. Low, at 78 FPS average, is the safer 4K choice.

The summary: Ultra at 1080p, Ultra at 1440p, Medium at 4K — each the exact ceiling of 60 FPS playability for this hardware pairing in FiveM per the measured dataset.
