Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination presents a clear performance picture in Fivem, with measured results showing a strong 1080p experience and a surprisingly viable 1440p option, while 4K remains out of reach. The data indicates that this pairing is well-balanced, with the GPU becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution scales upward.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combo in Fivem covers four settings presets across three resolutions, with complete average FPS readings for every configuration. Minimum and maximum frame times were only captured for the Medium preset at each resolution, which limits the analysis of frame pacing but still provides useful context.

At 1920x1080, the results are strong across the board. The Low preset delivers an average of 159 FPS, which is an exceptionally high ceiling. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 126 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 107 FPS and a maximum of 145 FPS. The High preset produces an average of 101 FPS, while the Ultra preset still manages a comfortable 78 FPS average. This resolution shows no signs of struggle, with even the most demanding preset remaining well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains solid but begins to show the expected scaling cost. The Low preset reaches an average of 105 FPS, which is still very high. Medium delivers 83 FPS on average, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. High drops to a 66 FPS average, which is just above the playable threshold. The Ultra preset falls to 51 FPS, dipping below the 60 FPS line. The frame time data for Medium at this resolution shows a 25 FPS spread between minimum and maximum, suggesting some variance under load but nothing that would indicate instability.

At 3840x2160, performance falls off considerably. The Low preset returns a 58 FPS average, which is tantalizingly close to the 60 FPS threshold but does not clear it. Medium produces a 46 FPS average, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. High drops to 37 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 28 FPS. None of the 4K presets achieve playable status according to the database's 60 FPS benchmark.

The scaling pattern between resolutions is consistent: dropping from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 34 to 38 percent of average FPS depending on the preset, while moving from 1440p to 4K costs another 40 to 45 percent. This is a typical GPU-bound scaling curve, which hints at where the bottleneck lies.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data across resolutions strongly indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor in this pairing for Fivem. At 1080p, where CPU load is often relatively higher compared to pixel throughput, the combo still achieves 78 FPS at Ultra. This suggests the Intel Core i5-12400F has enough headroom to feed the GPU effectively at this resolution. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, appear sufficient for the game's multi-player workload.

As resolution increases, the frame rate drops in a pattern consistent with GPU-bound rendering. The delta between Low and Ultra presets at 1080p is 81 FPS, while at 1440p it is 54 FPS, and at 4K it narrows to 30 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions is a classic sign that the GPU is being saturated, leaving less performance difference between quality settings. The CPU is not the limiter here; if it were, the gap between presets would remain relatively constant across resolutions.

The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus, seems to handle the game's asset streaming without issue, even at 1440p. The absence of min/max data for most presets means stutter analysis is limited, but the Medium preset frame times at each resolution do not show alarming dips. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 107 FPS is still far above playable, and at 1440p Medium, the minimum of 70 FPS holds the line.

The role of the CPU becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 159 FPS average is likely near the engine's frame rate ceiling or the CPU's instruction throughput limit. This is a case where the i5-12400F's single-thread performance, measured at 909 in 3dmark single thread and 1680 in Cinebench R23 single core, provides a solid foundation. The data suggests that for players targeting very high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU is adequate, not the bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database's measured results for Fivem, this specific CPU and GPU combination ranks at 2581 out of 3707 total tested combos. This places it in the 30th percentile of all combinations, which is a notable position. The rank indicates that while this combo is far from the top of the pile, it sits above a significant majority of tested systems.

The percentile ranking of the individual components helps contextualize this. The i5-12400F sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs tested, while the RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. The combo's overall rank in Fivem, however, is lower than either component's individual percentile would suggest. This discrepancy implies that Fivem's performance scaling favors higher-end GPUs more than this mid-range card can provide, or that the game is particularly sensitive to GPU throughput beyond a certain point.

The combo rank of 2581 means that roughly 1126 tested combinations performed worse, and 2580 performed better. For a CPU released in early 2022 and a GPU released in mid-2019, this placement is reasonable. The data shows that the combo is not a top performer, but it is also not a weak one. It occupies a middle ground that aligns with the hardware's position in their respective product stacks.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for each component provides insight into what other hardware would behave similarly. For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores essentially identically in aggregate benchmarks, with a delta of 0 percent. This mobile processor would likely deliver very similar frame rates in Fivem, though its power characteristics differ. The Intel Core 3 201E is nearly identical at -0.1 percent, and the Intel Core i5-1335U is slightly ahead at 0.3 percent. The AMD EPYC 7773X also appears in the rival list at 0.3 percent, which is surprising for a server chip but indicates that the game's CPU demands are not extreme.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show a tight cluster. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is 0.4 percent behind in average score. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 is 0.5 percent behind, and the AMD Radeon RX 460 is 1.5 percent behind. The Intel Arc A770M is 1.6 percent behind. These deltas are small, meaning that swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these would produce nearly indistinguishable performance in Fivem. The RTX 3060 Mobile, despite being a newer architecture, does not outpace the 2060 SUPER significantly in this game's workload.

A player with a system containing an i5-12400F and any of these rival GPUs would expect the same playable resolutions and presets as this combo. Conversely, pairing the RTX 2060 SUPER with a CPU in the same performance band as the i5-12400F, such as the Ryzen 5 7535HS, would yield similar results. The data suggests that this performance tier is well-populated, giving buyers multiple paths to the same experience.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes a clear determination: this PC can run Fivem well at 1080p and 1440p, but not at 4K. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset holding a 78 FPS average. This is a fully playable experience with all visual features enabled. At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 66 FPS, which is playable, but the Ultra preset drops to 51 FPS and should be avoided if smoothness is the priority.

The 4K resolution is not viable for this combo. The best case scenario at 3840x2160 is the Low preset at 58 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS mark by a small margin. No settings combination at this resolution reaches the playable threshold. Players with 4K displays will need to run the game at a lower internal resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The overall verdict from the database confirms this: playable settings are listed for 1080p and 1440p, with the best settings being Ultra at 1080p and High at 1440p. No playable settings exist for 4K. This makes the combo a solid choice for standard 1080p gaming and a decent option for 1440p with some quality sacrifices.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering a 78 FPS average. This is the most demanding preset available and it stays comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Players can enable all visual features without worrying about performance.

For 2560x1440, the High preset is the optimal selection, producing a 66 FPS average. This preset clears the playable threshold by 6 FPS, leaving a small margin for fluctuation. The Medium preset at 83 FPS offers more headroom, but the data shows High is the highest quality option that remains playable.

For 3840x2160, there is no best setting because no preset achieves 60 FPS. The Low preset comes closest at 58 FPS, but it still falls short. The database records no best settings for this resolution, confirming that 4K is not a viable option for this hardware combination.
