Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU in this game?

A: The CPU performance data shows strong single-thread results, with a passmark single thread score of 3481 and a geekbench single core score of 1964. However, Fivem's rank at 2980 of 3707 combos suggests the game's engine may not fully utilize the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, which could limit overall performance scaling.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only at specific resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, from the 136 FPS Low average to the 67 FPS Ultra average. For 1080p gaming, this is a fully capable system.

At 2560x1440, the playable settings are limited to Low and Medium. The Medium preset is the best choice, averaging 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS. This is the sweet spot for the combo: it delivers the highest visual quality while maintaining playable frame rates.

At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The maximum average FPS across all presets is 50 (Low), which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Users with 4K displays will need to lower their resolution or upgrade components.

The practical takeaway: this is a 1080p-focused system that can stretch to 1440p at medium settings. It cannot handle 4K in Fivem. The 60 FPS threshold is consistently met at 1080p, and the 1440p Medium preset provides a stable 60 FPS minimum, making it a viable option for high-refresh 1080p displays or standard 60Hz 1440p monitors.

CPU and GPU Roles

The interaction between the Intel Core i5-12400F and Intel Arc B570 shifts in importance depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough (86-136 FPS average) that the GPU is likely the primary driver, but the CPU's single-thread performance keeps up with the demand. The 1080p Low to Ultra scaling shows a drop from 136 FPS to 67 FPS, a 69 FPS or roughly 51% reduction, which is substantial and indicates the GPU is handling most of the graphics load.

At 2560x1440, the performance drop becomes more pronounced. The 1440p Medium average of 71 FPS is about 34% lower than the 1080p Medium average of 107 FPS. This scaling aligns with the GPU's rendering load increasing with pixel count. The fact that the 1440p High preset falls to 56 FPS while the 1440p Medium holds at 71 FPS suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution — the jump from Medium to High settings costs 15 FPS, which is a significant penalty.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The Arc B570's 10 GB GDDR6 memory with a 160-bit bus width and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth struggles to feed the 4K pixel count. The 4K Medium average of 39 FPS versus the 1080p Medium average of 107 FPS represents a 68 FPS or roughly 64% drop. This is far more than the pixel count ratio alone would suggest, indicating the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are overwhelmed at 4K.

The CPU's role is more consistent across resolutions. With a boost clock of 4.40 GHz and passmark multi-thread score of 19433, the i5-12400F provides stable frame pacing. The 3dmark single-thread score of 909 and 2-thread score of 1699 show adequate single-core performance for Fivem's server-side processing. At all resolutions, the CPU does not appear to be the primary limiter — the GPU performance scales with resolution and settings as expected, while the CPU maintains the same level of throughput regardless of resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average varies by resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 67 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold. The 67 FPS average leaves a small margin, so players who prefer more headroom might choose High at 86 FPS, but Ultra is technically playable.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is the best playable option, averaging 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS. This is the only setting above Low that maintains playable frame rates at this resolution. The High preset's 56 FPS average falls short, so Medium is the clear recommendation for 1440p.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best available option is the Low preset at 50 FPS average, but this is below the playable threshold. For 4K, users must either reduce the resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance. The data does not support any playable settings at this resolution.

In summary, the system's best settings are Ultra at 1080p (67 FPS) and Medium at 1440p (71 FPS). The 1440p Medium preset offers the most balanced experience, delivering a 60 FPS minimum with good visual quality, while the 1080p Ultra setting provides the highest fidelity within a playable frame rate.
