Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 is a combination that targets 1080p gaming, and the recorded data for Fivem confirms this is where its strengths lie. The measured FPS figures show a steep performance cliff as resolution increases, and the only settings that clear the 60 FPS threshold are found at 1920x1080. This is a classic case of a capable 1080p setup that should not be pushed beyond its comfort zone for this specific multiplayer title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a clear progression across the four presets. The lowest settings deliver an average of 79.1 FPS, which is the highest recorded average for this combo in the entire dataset. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 61.9 FPS, still above the 60 FPS playability threshold. High settings see a significant reduction to 50.8 FPS, and Ultra settings fall further to 37.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is roughly 17 FPS, while the drop from Medium to High is about 11 FPS, and from High to Ultra another 13 FPS. This indicates that the most demanding preset at 1080p, Ultra, costs nearly half the performance of the Low preset.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the averages tell a different story. Low settings produce 52.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target but still the best result at this resolution. Medium settings average 38.6 FPS, High settings drop to 31.9 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 24.3 FPS. The performance penalty for moving from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, even on the same preset. For example, Low settings lose roughly 26 FPS when moving up in resolution, and Medium settings lose about 23 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the combo is clearly out of its depth. The highest average is 29.3 FPS on Low settings. Medium settings manage 20.7 FPS, High settings fall to 15.3 FPS, and Ultra settings produce just 12.7 FPS. These figures are consistently below any reasonable playability standard, and the scaling between presets is compressed, suggesting the GPU is fully saturated and frame rates are collapsing under the pixel count.

The recorded data does not include minimum or maximum FPS values for any resolution or preset, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS. However, the averages are consistent enough to establish a pattern: this combo is only viable for smooth gameplay at 1080p with Low or Medium settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this specific CPU and GPU combination ranks 3512 out of 3707 tested combos for Fivem. That places it in the lower percentile of all recorded systems, roughly in the bottom 5% of configurations. The rank is a reflection of the RX 570's age and the game's demands, not necessarily a condemnation of the CPU.

The Intel Core i5-12400F itself sits in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs tested in the database, with an average benchmark score of 19039. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS with a score of 19047 and a delta of 0%, the Intel Core 3 201E with 19056 and a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core i5-1335U with 18982 and a delta of 0.3%, and the AMD EPYC 7773X with 18979 and a delta of 0.3%. These deltas are negligible, meaning the i5-12400F is effectively on par with those processors in synthetic workloads. The CPU is not the bottleneck here.

The AMD Radeon RX 570, on the other hand, ranks in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28766. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M with a score of 28874 and a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Radeon R9 M295X with 28580 and a delta of 0.7%, the AMD Radeon RX 470 with 28996 and a delta of -0.8%, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 with 28421 and a delta of 1.2%. Again, the deltas are small, indicating the RX 570 performs similarly to these other cards in the aggregate benchmarks. The GPU is capable in isolation, but Fivem's engine and the multiplayer environment appear to be particularly demanding on the graphics subsystem.

The combination rank of 3512 out of 3707 suggests that while the individual components are mid-pack relative to their own categories, the pairing does not scale well for this specific game. The data indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor quickly, as evidenced by the sharp FPS drops at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

According to the verdict data, this PC can only run Fivem at 1920x1080 with playable results. The database lists Low and Medium as the playable settings at this resolution, with Medium being the best preset that still clears the 60 FPS threshold, delivering 61.9 FPS on average.

For 2560x1440, the verdict is clear: no settings are playable. The best average is 52.7 FPS on Low, which is 7.3 FPS short of the 60 FPS target. Similarly, at 3840x2160, there are no playable settings, with the highest average being 29.3 FPS on Low.

In practical terms, this is a 1080p gaming machine for Fivem. If you own a 1440p or 4K monitor, you will need to lower the resolution to 1080p to achieve smooth gameplay. The data does not support any configuration at higher resolutions, so the recommendation is straightforward: stick to 1080p and use Medium settings for the best balance of visual quality and performance. If you prefer higher frame rates, Low settings will give you an average of 79.1 FPS, which is a substantial improvement over Medium.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU for Fivem. At 1920x1080, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU adequately. The i5-12400F's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, are sufficient for the game's logic and multiplayer networking tasks. The GPU, however, becomes the limiting factor as settings increase. The drop from Medium (61.9 FPS) to High (50.8 FPS) is roughly 11 FPS, and from High to Ultra (37.9 FPS) is another 13 FPS, indicating that the RX 570's shading units and texture rate are struggling with the higher graphical loads.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. The average FPS drops by roughly half compared to 1080p on the same settings, which points to the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth being insufficient for the increased resolution. The RX 570's 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 39.81 GPixel/s pixel rate are not enough to sustain 60 FPS at this resolution, regardless of the preset. The CPU is still capable, as evidenced by its benchmark scores, but it cannot compensate for the GPU's inability to render the frames fast enough.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is completely overwhelmed. The FPS values are so low that even the CPU's performance is irrelevant. The scaling from Low (29.3 FPS) to Ultra (12.7 FPS) shows a compression that indicates the GPU is hitting a hard bottleneck. The CPU's role diminishes to near zero, as the GPU cannot output frames fast enough to utilize the processor's capabilities.

In summary, the CPU is a non-issue for this game at all resolutions. The GPU is the sole determinant of performance, and its capabilities dictate that only 1080p with Low or Medium settings is viable.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 61.9 FPS. This is the recommended setting for a balance between visual fidelity and smooth gameplay. Low settings are also playable and offer a higher average of 79.1 FPS, which is beneficial for competitive play or if you prefer extra headroom for frame time consistency.

For 2560x1440, there is no preset that achieves 60 FPS. The best average is 52.7 FPS on Low settings, which falls short of the threshold. As such, no recommendation can be made for this resolution, and the data suggests you should not attempt to run Fivem at 1440p with this hardware.

For 3840x2160, the situation is even worse. The best average is 29.3 FPS on Low settings, which is far below playable. No settings are recommended for 4K, and the hardware is simply not equipped for this resolution in Fivem.

The practical advice is to run the game at 1080p with Medium settings for a solid 60 FPS experience. If you want to maximize performance, Low settings will push the average to nearly 80 FPS, but the visual trade-off is significant. For any resolution above 1080p, you will need to upgrade the GPU to achieve playable frame rates.
