Again, these deltas are small, meaning the RTX 5050’s raw benchmark score is comparable to several other graphics solutions.

Despite the mid-pack overall rank, the FPS results show that this combo’s position is heavily influenced by 4K performance, where only the Low preset reaches playability. At 1080p and 1440p, the system performs well above average in terms of raw FPS, but the rank aggregates all data points, pulling it down due to the weaker 4K results.

CPU and GPU Roles

The interaction between the Intel Core i5-12400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 in Fivem can be inferred from how FPS scales across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 168 FPS, which is 86 FPS higher than the Ultra preset’s 82 FPS at the same resolution. This large spread suggests that the GPU is heavily engaged even at lower settings, as reducing graphical load from Ultra to Low yields a massive frame rate increase. The CPU’s role becomes more apparent when comparing resolutions at the same preset. For example, the Low preset drops from 168 FPS at 1920x1080 to 110 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 58 FPS, and then to 61 FPS at 3840x2160, another reduction of 49 FPS. This progressive decline as resolution increases indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU likely maintains sufficient throughput to feed the graphics card at lower resolutions.

At the Medium preset, the frame rates are 132 FPS at 1920x1080, 87 FPS at 2560x1440, and 48 FPS at 3840x2160. The step from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS by 45, and the step from 1440p to 4K reduces it by 39. These consistent drops point to a GPU-limited scenario across all resolutions for Medium settings. The High preset shows 106 FPS at 1920x1080, 70 FPS at 2560x1440, and 39 FPS at 3840x2160, with reductions of 36 and 31 FPS respectively. The Ultra preset shows 82 FPS at 1920x1080, 54 FPS at 2560x1440, and 30 FPS at 3840x2160, with reductions of 28 and 24 FPS. The diminishing absolute FPS drops at higher presets as resolution increases suggest that the GPU is saturating, and the CPU’s influence fades once pixel throughput dominates. At 1920x1080, the CPU likely has more headroom, allowing the GPU to run at higher utilization and produce the high frame rates seen on Low and Medium. At 3840x2160, even the Low preset only manages 61 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s pixel and texture processing limits are the decisive factor.
