Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is a high-end combination that delivers playable frame rates across all tested resolutions in Fivem, though the margin of comfort varies significantly. The data indicates that at 4K, the combo averages 76 FPS on High settings, while at 1440p and 1080p, it clears 100 FPS even on the most demanding presets. This analysis examines how this hardware stack behaves, where its bottlenecks lie, and which settings yield the best experience.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU and GPU individually, the nearest rivals in the benchmark database provide context for where this hardware sits. The Intel Core i5-12400 has an average benchmark score of 18,683, which places it in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs. Its closest competitor is the AMD EPYC 7643, which scores 18,697, a negligible 0.1% difference. The Intel Core i7-1355U scores 18,730 (0.3% higher), while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 18,811 (0.7% higher). Interestingly, the Intel Core i3-14100F scores 18,519, which is 0.9% lower than the i5-12400. This suggests that for Fivem, the i5-12400's six cores and twelve threads provide performance nearly identical to these alternatives, meaning users upgrading from an i3-14100F would see almost no CPU-driven improvement.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54,209, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the standard RTX 4080, which scores 54,247, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 (1.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698 (2.7% higher) and the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55,757 (2.8% higher). The GPU data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER is essentially tied with the RTX 4080, and even slightly behind some AMD options in raw benchmark scores. However, these are synthetic averages; in Fivem specifically, the measured frame rates demonstrate the GPU's actual capability.

The combination of a 72nd-percentile CPU with an 86th-percentile GPU suggests a balanced pairing for this game, where neither component dramatically outperforms the other in a way that would create a significant bottleneck. The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 1% of its score, and the GPU's rivals are within 3%, meaning any of these alternative components would produce very similar frame rates in Fivem.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions and settings reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the CPU becomes the primary constraint. The average frame rate at Low settings is 305 FPS, dropping to 261 FPS at Medium, 209 FPS at High, and 162 FPS at Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 47% reduction in frame rate, indicating that even at 1080p, the GPU is still handling the increased graphical load, but the CPU's ceiling around 300 FPS limits the maximum achievable performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. Low settings produce 218 FPS, Medium 172 FPS, High 138 FPS, and Ultra 107 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 51%, similar to 1080p, but the absolute numbers are lower, confirming that resolution scaling affects overall throughput. At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes dominant. Low settings yield 121 FPS, Medium 95 FPS, High 76 FPS, and Ultra 59 FPS. The Ultra setting at 4K falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold, which is the only instance across all tested configurations where this occurs.

The data implies that at 1080p, the i5-12400's single-thread and multi-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 910, Cinebench R23 multicore of 15,989) is sufficient to feed the RTX 4080 SUPER, but the frame rates are capped by the CPU's ability to process game logic and draw calls. At 4K, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth (736.3 GB/s) become the limiting factors, as evidenced by the 121 FPS at Low settings versus 59 FPS at Ultra. For multiplayer scenarios in Fivem, where many players and vehicles are present, the CPU's six cores and twelve threads may be stressed, but the benchmark data does not isolate this variable.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution. At 3840x2160, the best settings are High, which achieves an average of 76 FPS. The Medium preset averages 95 FPS, and Low averages 121 FPS, but High is the highest quality option that remains playable. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 59 FPS, just one frame below the 60 FPS threshold, making it technically unplayable according to the playableThresholdFps of 60.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 107 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a comfortable margin. All four presets—Low (218 FPS), Medium (172 FPS), High (138 FPS), and Ultra (107 FPS)—are playable at this resolution, so users can choose Ultra without sacrificing smoothness.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are also Ultra, averaging 162 FPS. The Low preset reaches 305 FPS, Medium 261 FPS, and High 209 FPS, but Ultra's 162 FPS is more than sufficient for any display, including high refresh rate monitors. The data shows that at 1080p and 1440p, the combo has headroom to spare, while at 4K, users must compromise between High settings at 76 FPS and Ultra at 59 FPS.
