Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i5-12400F has an average benchmark score of 19039. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS scores 19047, which is effectively identical, with a difference of 0%. The Intel Core 3 201E scores 19056, a difference of -0.1% from the i5-12400F. The Intel Core i5-1335U scores 18982, a 0.3% difference, and the AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18979, also a 0.3% difference. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Fivem. The i5-12400F sits in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, meaning it outperforms a majority of processors in the database.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, a difference of -1%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, a difference of -1.2%. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, a difference of -1.3%, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a difference of -1.5%. These four GPUs are all within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER in average score, so any of them would produce very similar frame rates in Fivem. The GPU ranks in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, which is a solid mid-tier position.

When building or upgrading, a system with any of these CPU rivals and any of these GPU rivals would behave almost identically to the i5-12400F and RTX 2070 SUPER combo. The differences are so small that they would be imperceptible in actual gameplay. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with its 18 MB of shared L3 cache, provide enough throughput for multiplayer scenarios, while the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus handle the texture loads.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU split responsibilities across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high, ranging from 176.4 FPS on Low to 87.2 FPS on Ultra. This indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor at this resolution. The i5-12400F's single-thread performance, as shown by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1680 and PassMark single-thread score of 3481, is strong enough to feed the GPU at these frame rates. The multi-thread scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12380 and a PassMark multithread score of 19433, also suggest that the 12 threads are sufficient for the game's server and simulation overhead.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop substantially. Low settings go from 176.4 FPS at 1080p to 114.7 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of about 35%. High settings drop from 111.2 to 69.7 FPS, and Ultra drops from 87.2 to 54.8 FPS. This scaling shows that the GPU becomes more involved as the pixel count rises. The RTX 2070 SUPER, with its 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, is the primary driver of these changes. At 1440p, the GPU is still capable of maintaining high frame rates on High settings, but Ultra settings push it below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The frame rates fall to 61.8 FPS on Low, 52.5 FPS on Medium, 43.1 FPS on High, and 30.5 FPS on Ultra. The CPU's role diminishes because the GPU is fully saturated. The i5-12400F's performance headroom is evident in the fact that even at 4K Low, the CPU can still push 61.8 FPS. The GPU's 8 GB memory capacity is also a consideration, as higher resolutions and settings demand more video memory, but the recorded data shows that the limiting factor is raw rasterization throughput, not memory size.

In summary, the CPU matters most at 1080p where frame rates exceed 170 FPS on Low, but the GPU takes over as the bottleneck at 1440p and especially 4K. For players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU is sufficient. For those wanting to play at 1440p or 4K, the GPU's performance will dictate the playable settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2138 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem. This position is below the median, which is expected for a mid-range setup. The CPU's 73rd percentile ranking and the GPU's 65th percentile ranking indicate that neither component is top-tier, but they are both above average individually. The combined rank, however, places the combo in the lower half of the database, suggesting that many other combinations offer higher frame rates in this specific game.

The ranking reflects the measured FPS data. At 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 87.2 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold, but many combos with higher-end GPUs or newer CPUs will surpass this. At 1440p, the best playable setting is High at 69.7 FPS, and at 4K, only Low is playable at 61.8 FPS. These results are respectable for a mid-range system, but they are not competitive with high-end configurations. The combo's rank of 2138 out of 3707 means that roughly 42% of tested combos perform better, while 58% perform worse. This is a reasonable outcome for the hardware's age and market position.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data includes average frame rates for each resolution and preset combination. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not captured, so only averages are available.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce 61.8 FPS, Medium settings produce 52.5 FPS, High settings produce 43.1 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 30.5 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low settings produce 114.7 FPS, Medium settings produce 90.4 FPS, High settings produce 69.7 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 54.8 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the averages are: Low settings produce 176.4 FPS, Medium settings produce 140.7 FPS, High settings produce 111.2 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 87.2 FPS.

These numbers show a clear pattern. As resolution increases, the frame rates drop consistently across all presets. The gap between Low and Ultra also widens at higher resolutions, indicating that the GPU's workload grows faster than the CPU's. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 89.2 FPS, while at 4K, the difference is 31.3 FPS. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is still capable of pushing high frame rates even at Ultra, but at 4K, the GPU is so heavily loaded that even Low settings only just reach the playable threshold.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS is the best setting. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the only playable preset is Low, which averages 61.8 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, so they are not recommended. Low settings are the best choice for 4K gaming with this combo.

At 2560x1440, High settings are the best playable option, averaging 69.7 FPS. Medium and Low are also playable, but High offers better visual quality while still exceeding the threshold. Ultra settings average 54.8 FPS, which is below the playable line.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings are the best playable option, averaging 87.2 FPS. All four presets, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, stay above 60 FPS, so players can choose the highest visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. The data shows that this combo is well-suited for 1080p gaming at maximum settings, and it remains capable at 1440p with a moderate preset. For 4K, the hardware is limited to low details, but it still provides a playable experience.
