Q: What GPU benchmark percentile does the RTX 5070 achieve?

A: The RTX 5070 ranks in the 82nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40377. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (0.1% faster), AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (0.8% faster), and AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (1.2% slower).

Q: How many FPS does the system achieve at 1440p with medium settings?

A: At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the measured average FPS is 146.8. This represents a significant margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: Does the system maintain playable frame rates at 1080p with all presets?

A: Yes. All four presets at 1920x1080 exceed 60 FPS, with Low at 282.2 FPS, Medium at 219.8 FPS, High at 177.6 FPS, and Ultra at 135.5 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear pattern in how the CPU and GPU contribute to Fivem's performance across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high — Low settings produce 282.2 FPS, and even Ultra reaches 135.5 FPS. This suggests that at lower resolutions, the system has ample headroom, and the workload is distributed such that neither component becomes a severe bottleneck.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. The Ultra preset drops from 135.5 FPS at 1080p to 89.3 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of approximately 34%. Similarly, High settings fall from 177.6 to 119.1 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is becoming more influential as resolution increases, with the RTX 5070's 12 GB GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth handling the additional pixel throughput.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes dominant. The Ultra preset falls to 47.9 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, while High manages 64.5 FPS. The gap between Low (102.5 FPS) and Ultra (47.9 FPS) at 4K is substantial, demonstrating that the GPU's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor at this resolution. The CPU's contribution is relatively constant — the i5-12400's 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz provide consistent physics and game logic processing, but the data shows that resolution scaling is primarily dictated by GPU performance. The pattern across all three resolutions is consistent: the delta between Low and Ultra presets widens as resolution increases, confirming that GPU load scales more aggressively with both resolution and graphical fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 ranks 700th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 18.9% of all configurations. This ranking reflects a system that sits comfortably above the median, with substantial performance headroom for a multiplayer-focused title.

The i5-12400's synthetic benchmark performance — including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15989 and a single-core score of 2257 — suggests strong CPU throughput that supports high frame rates. The RTX 5070 contributes with a Passmark G3D score of 29137 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5077, indicating robust graphics capabilities. When combined, these components produce the measured FPS numbers that place this combo in the upper quartile of tested systems.

The ranking of 700 out of 3707 is particularly notable given that the GPU sits in the 82nd percentile while the CPU is in the 72nd percentile. This suggests the CPU may be limiting the system's overall ranking somewhat, as the GPU is capable of higher performance than the CPU can feed at lower resolutions. However, the measured FPS data shows that this pairing still delivers excellent results, with 1080p Ultra exceeding 135 FPS and 1440p Ultra remaining well above 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for both components provides insight into what other hardware would behave similarly. The i5-12400's closest competitors include the AMD EPYC 7643 (0.1% slower), Intel Core i7-1355U (0.3% slower), AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 (0.7% slower), and Intel Core i3-14100F (0.9% faster). These CPUs have average benchmark scores within a narrow range of 18519 to 18811, indicating that any of them would produce nearly identical frame rates in Fivem when paired with the RTX 5070.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (0.1% faster), AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (0.8% faster), AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (1.2% slower), and NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile (2% slower). These GPUs have average scores between 39568 and 40870, meaning a user with any of these cards would experience essentially the same performance levels. The delta percentages are all within 2%, which translates to a difference of only a few frames per second in real-world gaming scenarios.

A system with the AMD EPYC 7643 instead of the i5-12400 would deliver nearly identical results, as would a configuration with the Radeon Pro 580 replacing the RTX 5070. These alternatives represent the closest performance matches available, with variations of less than 3% in aggregate benchmark scores.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 282.2 FPS, making it the fastest configuration tested. Medium settings produce 219.8 FPS, High achieves 177.6 FPS, and Ultra remains highly playable at 135.5 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 146.7 FPS, indicating that graphical settings have a significant impact at this resolution.

The 2560x1440 results show a proportional decrease across all presets. Low settings average 186.1 FPS, Medium reaches 146.8 FPS, High maintains 119.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 89.3 FPS. All settings at this resolution remain well above the 60 FPS playable threshold, with even the most demanding preset providing a comfortable margin.

At 3840x2160, the performance gap between presets widens considerably. Low settings average 102.5 FPS, Medium achieves 81.9 FPS, and High produces 64.5 FPS — just above the playable threshold. Ultra falls to 47.9 FPS, which is the only configuration tested that fails to maintain 60 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 54.6 FPS, compared to 146.7 FPS at 1080p, illustrating how GPU limitations manifest more acutely at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

This system can run Fivem effectively across all resolutions with appropriate settings. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra achieving 135.5 FPS. The 2560x1440 resolution is also fully playable at all settings, including Ultra at 89.3 FPS. For 3840x2160, the system meets the playable standard at High (64.5 FPS), Medium (81.9 FPS), and Low (102.5 FPS) presets, but fails to reach 60 FPS at Ultra (47.9 FPS).

The verdict by resolution confirms that the system delivers playable performance in the vast majority of scenarios. The only configuration that falls short is 4K Ultra, which is expected given the demanding nature of that combination. Users seeking maximum visual fidelity at 4K would need to adjust settings to High, which still provides a smooth experience at 64.5 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 135.5 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while retaining a substantial performance margin.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best option, delivering 89.3 FPS. This stays comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold while offering the highest graphical fidelity available at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding playable setting is High, which averages 64.5 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that exceeds the 60 FPS requirement; Ultra falls short at 47.9 FPS, and Medium (81.9 FPS) or Low (102.5 FPS) would be alternatives if a higher frame rate is preferred over visual quality.
