Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks at position 646 out of 3,707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 17.4% of all configurations. This is a strong result for a multiplayer-focused title, indicating that the pairing delivers well above-average performance headroom for the game's demands.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 646 out of 3,707 tested configurations places it firmly in the upper tier of systems evaluated for Fivem. This percentile positioning suggests the pairing is well-balanced for the game, with neither component acting as a substantial bottleneck at most settings. The CPU sits at the 72nd percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 83rd percentile against all GPUs, so the graphics card carries slightly more relative weight in this pairing. The data indicates that Fivem is responsive to both CPU and GPU improvements, but the RTX 4070 SUPER's higher percentile ranking means it contributes more to the overall performance ceiling. With all measured FPS data coming from real testing, the rank reflects actual gameplay behavior rather than synthetic estimates.

CPU and GPU Roles

Benchmark results across resolutions reveal how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities in Fivem. At 1920x1080, the jump from Low to Ultra settings produces a 148 FPS swing (290.1 down to 142.1), which is a 51% performance drop—indicating the GPU is heavily taxed by visual effects even at this resolution. The CPU's 12 threads and 6 cores, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, provide sufficient headroom to keep frame rates high at lower settings, where the game becomes more CPU-bound. Moving to 2560x1440, the same Low-to-Ultra transition costs 96.2 FPS (187.9 to 91.7), a 48.8% reduction, showing that resolution scaling shifts more load onto the GPU while the CPU maintains consistent throughput. At 3840x2160, the pattern intensifies: Low delivers 106 FPS, but Ultra drops to 49.4 FPS, a 53.4% decrease. This demonstrates that at 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit bus become the limiting factor, while the i5-12400 continues to feed frames adequately. The scaling between 1080p and 4K at High settings (183.7 to 64.3 FPS) represents a 65% reduction, confirming that resolution-dependent GPU load dominates performance at higher pixel counts.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce 290.1 FPS average, Medium drops to 230.1 FPS, High settles at 183.7 FPS, and Ultra maintains 142.1 FPS. These figures indicate the i5-12400 and RTX 4070 SUPER combination never approaches the playable threshold of 60 FPS at this resolution, even under maximum visual load. The spread between Low and Ultra is 148 FPS, showing that settings have a significant impact but the hardware has ample reserve.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains robust. Low settings yield 187.9 FPS, Medium reaches 148.5 FPS, High provides 119.8 FPS, and Ultra stays well above playable at 91.7 FPS. The 96.2 FPS gap between Low and Ultra demonstrates that 1440p presents a moderate challenge, but the combination still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a wide margin at every preset. This resolution is where the balance between CPU and GPU becomes most evident—the 12400's 6-core/12-thread configuration keeps frame pacing stable while the 4070 SUPER's 7,168 shading units handle the increased pixel workload.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes notably. Low settings deliver 106 FPS, Medium drops to 86 FPS, High sits at 64.3 FPS, and Ultra falls below the playable threshold at 49.4 FPS. The transition from High to Ultra represents a 23.2% performance loss, which is the largest single-step drop in the entire dataset. This indicates that Ultra settings at 4K push the RTX 4070 SUPER's 80 ROPs and 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth to their limits, while the i5-12400 continues to provide adequate CPU-side performance. The 18 MB of shared L3 cache and DDR4/DDR5 memory support keep the CPU from becoming a constraint even at this demanding resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals show that the i5-12400 sits in a tight performance cluster. The AMD EPYC 7643 scores 18,697 on average benchmarks, a marginal 0.1% higher than the i5-12400's 18,683 average, making them effectively interchangeable for Fivem. The Intel Core i7-1355U trails by 0.3% with a score of 18,730, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 is 0.7% ahead at 18,811. The Intel Core i3-14100F comes closest from below, scoring 18,519, which is 0.9% lower. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, as the game's multiplayer workloads don't heavily stress beyond the 6-core/12-thread configuration.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rivals are all within 1% of its average benchmark score of 43,223. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43,262 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43,268 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 scores 43,301 (0.2% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile scores 43,667 (1% higher). For Fivem specifically, swapping to any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical FPS numbers at each resolution and setting, with the RTX 4090 Mobile offering a negligible 1% improvement. The practical takeaway is that this performance tier is tightly packed, and the i5-12400/RTX 4070 SUPER pairing sits comfortably within it.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, delivering 142.1 FPS average. This leaves substantial headroom over the 60 FPS playable threshold, so users could enable additional enhancements without concern. The data shows that even the maximum settings preset nearly triples the playable threshold, indicating the combination is overbuilt for 1080p Fivem.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings remain the best choice, maintaining 91.7 FPS average. This is 31.7 FPS above the playable threshold, providing a comfortable margin for competitive multiplayer scenarios where frame time consistency matters. The 148.5 FPS at Medium and 119.8 FPS at High offer alternatives for users prioritizing higher refresh rates, but Ultra remains playable and visually superior.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is High, which achieves 64.3 FPS average—just 4.3 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium runs at 86 FPS and Low at 106 FPS, both offering more headroom, but High represents the maximum visual quality that maintains playability. Ultra at 49.4 FPS falls below the threshold, so it should be avoided for smooth gameplay at 4K. The 64.3 FPS average at High is close enough to the threshold that users might prefer Medium's 86 FPS for more consistent frame delivery in busy multiplayer sessions.
