Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the Intel Arc B580 produces a combo that ranks 2813 out of 3707 tested combinations for Fivem. This places the pairing in the lower-middle portion of the database, indicating that while it can run the game, it does not deliver top-tier performance relative to all other hardware combinations tested. The data recorded for this pairing is measured, not estimated, providing a reliable basis for the analysis that follows.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 2813 out of 3707 places it in the 76th percentile of all tested combinations, meaning roughly a quarter of tested systems perform worse. This is a modest standing, consistent with the component choices: the CPU sits at the 73rd percentile against all processors, while the GPU reaches the 68th percentile against all graphics cards. Neither component is a high-end part, so the overall combo ranking reflects their mid-range positioning. The rank is heavily influenced by the GPU’s performance ceiling, as Fivem’s frame rates scale more with graphics settings than with CPU-bound tasks at most resolutions. In practical terms, this combo is not a top performer, but it is far from the bottom of the field, and it clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1080p and 1440p under specific settings, as detailed later.

CPU and GPU Roles

Understanding which component drives performance in Fivem requires examining how frame rates change across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because the GPU is less burdened at lower pixel counts. The data shows a wide spread from Low to Ultra: 155.8 FPS at Low, 120.6 at Medium, 93.3 at High, and 76.6 at Ultra. This 79.2 FPS difference between Low and Ultra indicates that the GPU is still the primary limiter, but the CPU’s single-thread performance (a 3dmark_single_thread score of 909) is sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates. At 2560x1440, the GPU’s role grows: Low delivers 100 FPS, Medium 82.1, High 61.9, and Ultra falls to 47.9. The drop from 100 to 47.9 FPS as settings increase shows the GPU struggling with higher shading loads. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. Even at Low, the average is only 57.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 26.9. The CPU’s 12 threads (6 cores) are not the bottleneck here; the Arc B580’s 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are insufficient for 4K Ultra. The scaling between resolutions confirms this: at the same High preset, 1080p yields 93.3 FPS, 1440p yields 61.9, and 4K yields 34.9. This 58.4 FPS reduction from 1080p to 4K is almost entirely attributable to the GPU’s pixel throughput limits (213.6 GPixel/s), not CPU performance. For presets, the CPU’s role is more visible at 1080p Low, where 155.8 FPS approaches the limits of what the i5-12400F’s 3dmark_max_threads score of 5912 can sustain; at higher resolutions, the GPU’s fill rate and shading units (2560) dictate the outcome.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four settings tiers. At 1920x1080, the pairing delivers strong results: Low averages 155.8 FPS, Medium 120.6, High 93.3, and Ultra 76.6. All four presets exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, with Ultra still 16.6 FPS above that mark. This makes 1080p the most comfortable resolution for this combo, allowing users to max out settings without concern. At 2560x1440, the numbers tighten: Low hits 100 FPS, Medium 82.1, High 61.9, and Ultra 47.9. The High preset just barely clears 60 FPS, while Medium and Low offer substantial headroom. Ultra at 1440p is not playable, falling 12.1 FPS short of the threshold. At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limitations become stark: Low averages 57.9 FPS, Medium 46.8, High 34.9, and Ultra 26.9. No preset at 4K reaches 60 FPS; even Low is 2.1 FPS short. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a steady decline of roughly 10-12 FPS per settings tier, reflecting the B580’s inability to handle 4K shading workloads. The data does not include min or max FPS values, so the analysis relies solely on averages, but the averages are consistent across resolutions, indicating stable performance without severe frame-time spikes. For users targeting 60 FPS, the effective range is 1080p (all settings) and 1440p (up to High), while 4K remains out of reach.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are nearly identical in average benchmark score, meaning systems using these processors would behave similarly in CPU-bound scenarios. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores 19047, a 0% delta from the i5-12400F’s 19039. The Intel Core 3 201E scores 19056 (-0.1%), the Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18982 (0.3%), and the AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18979 (0.3%). All four fall within a 77-point range, so swapping the i5-12400F for any of these would yield negligible differences in Fivem’s frame rates, particularly at 1080p where CPU headroom matters most. For the GPU, the Arc B580’s nearest rivals are similarly clustered. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061 (-0.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895 (0.6%), the RTX 3080 scores 23172 (-0.7%), and the NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249 (-1%). These deltas are all under 1%, so a system with any of these GPUs paired with the i5-12400F would produce frame rates within a few FPS of the measured results. Notably, the RTX 2080 and RTX 3080 are older high-end cards, but their benchmark scores align closely with the B580, indicating that Fivem’s performance is not solely dependent on raw GPU compute; the B580’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus width likely compensate for its lower TFLOPS compared to those older cards. Users with any of these alternative components should expect similar playability: 1080p all settings, 1440p up to High, and no playable 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 76.6 FPS. This is the highest visual quality available while maintaining playability, with 16.6 FPS of headroom above the threshold. At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, averaging 61.9 FPS. This leaves only 1.9 FPS of margin, so users with variable refresh rate monitors may prefer Medium (82.1 FPS) for extra stability, but High is technically playable. At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS requirement. The closest is Low at 57.9 FPS, which is 2.1 FPS short. The data indicates that even the lowest settings at 4K cannot achieve playable frame rates, so users should avoid 4K entirely with this combo. For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, 1080p Ultra is the recommended configuration, as it provides the full settings experience without compromising frame rates. At 1440p, Medium offers a safer margin than High, but High is the maximum playable preset.

The Verdict

This PC can run Fivem, but only at specific resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the verdict is clear: all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, with Ultra delivering 76.6 FPS. This is the resolution where the combo performs best, offering full settings flexibility. At 2560x1440, the system is partially playable: High (61.9 FPS), Medium (82.1), and Low (100) all clear the 60 FPS threshold, but Ultra (47.9 FPS) does not. Users at 1440p should stick to High or lower for a smooth experience. At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative: no settings are playable, with the best case being Low at 57.9 FPS. The data shows that this combo is a solid 1080p performer and a capable 1440p option for medium-to-high settings, but it is not suitable for 4K gaming. The CPU’s 73rd percentile ranking and the GPU’s 68th percentile ranking align with this outcome—neither component is high-end, but together they handle mainstream resolutions well. For users seeking 60 FPS, the sweet spot is 1080p Ultra or 1440p High, with the former providing more headroom. The Arc B580’s 12 GB memory is sufficient for these settings, and the i5-12400F’s 6 cores handle Fivem’s multiplayer demands without issue. The verdict is conditional: playable at 1080p entirely, playable at 1440p with reduced settings, and not playable at 4K.
