Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a mid-range desktop combination tested against Fivem, a multiplayer title. Measured data shows this setup delivers 60+ FPS across most settings at 1080p and 1440p, but only at Low settings at 4K. The following analysis breaks down how this combo behaves, where it sits relative to other hardware, and what settings are viable at each resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (avgScore 19047, deltaPct 0), Intel Core 3 201E (19056, -0.1%), Intel Core i5-1335U (18982, +0.3%), and AMD EPYC 7773X (18979, +0.3%). All of these processors fall within a 0.3% band of the i5-12400F's average score of 19039, meaning in a game like Fivem, they would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance. The i5-12400F sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, indicating it is stronger than most alternatives, but its nearest rivals are all within a hair of its synthetic throughput.

For the GPU, the RTX 4060's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666, -0.2%), AMD Radeon 780M (17588, +0.3%), AMD Radeon Pro 560 (17551, +0.5%), and AMD Radeon Pro 460 (17509, +0.7%). The RTX 4060's average benchmark score is 17639, placing it at the 61st percentile among all GPUs. The delta values are tiny, so any of these graphics cards would produce comparable frame rates in Fivem at the same settings and resolution. The HD 7790 is an older discrete card, while the 780M is an integrated solution, but their synthetic scores align closely with the RTX 4060. This suggests that in Fivem, the RTX 4060's performance is not exceptional relative to its immediate competition; it is simply a typical mid-range GPU.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the balance shifts between CPU and GPU across resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the lowest preset yields 189.5 FPS, while the Ultra preset drops to 91.3 FPS — a reduction of 98.2 FPS. At 1440p, the same preset swing goes from 126.9 FPS (Low) to 60.8 FPS (Ultra), a 66.1 FPS drop. At 4K, Low produces 68.4 FPS and Ultra only 35.4 FPS, a 33.0 FPS difference. The consistent pattern — higher presets always reduce frame rates, and higher resolutions always reduce frame rates further — indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions; at 1080p Low, the frame rate exceeds 180 FPS, which would stress even a strong CPU, yet the i5-12400F holds up. As resolution increases, the GPU workload grows faster than the CPU's ability to prepare frames, so the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

Specifically, comparing 1080p to 4K at the same preset shows a dramatic scaling loss: Low drops from 189.5 to 68.4 FPS (a 63.9% reduction), Medium from 147.8 to 53.7 (63.7% reduction), High from 119.5 to 40.3 (66.3% reduction), and Ultra from 91.3 to 35.4 (61.2% reduction). These near-uniform percentage drops across presets confirm that resolution scaling is driven by GPU fill-rate and memory bandwidth, not by CPU thread count or clock speed. At 1440p, the drop from 1080p is smaller but still substantial — around 35% at each preset. The data suggests that the CPU is never the limiting factor in this combination; even at 4K Ultra, the CPU has headroom, but the GPU cannot keep up.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average frame rates for the Intel Core i5-12400F + RTX 4060 in Fivem. Minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded in the data, so only averages are available.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 40.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 68.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 53.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 35.4 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 77.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 126.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 96.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 60.8 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 119.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 189.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 147.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 91.3 |

At 1080p, every preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, with Ultra still hitting 91.3 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra is exactly at 60.8 FPS, just above the threshold, while all lower presets are comfortably above. At 4K, only Low reaches 68.4 FPS; Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with Ultra bottoming out at 35.4 FPS. The lack of min/max data means we cannot assess frame-time consistency, but the averages give a clear picture of overall capability.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested CPU+GPU combinations in Fivem, this setup ranks 2037 out of 3707, placing it in the 55th percentile. That is slightly above the median, meaning it outperforms about 55% of all combos tested. The CPU alone is at the 73rd percentile, while the GPU is at the 61st percentile. This discrepancy suggests that the i5-12400F is a relatively strong processor for this game, but the RTX 4060 holds the combo back from a higher overall rank. If the GPU were upgraded, the rank would likely improve, but with the current pairing, the system sits in the middle of the pack.

The rank of 2037 is not a verdict of poor performance; it reflects the breadth of hardware tested. Many combos with higher-end GPUs or CPUs will naturally rank above, but the 60 FPS capability at 1080p and 1440p demonstrates that this is a viable mid-range setup. The percentile values for the individual components — 73rd for CPU, 61st for GPU — align with the overall rank, indicating that the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Fivem, but the playable settings depend heavily on resolution. According to the verdict data:

• 3840x2160 (4K): Only Low settings are playable, with an average of 68.4 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): All four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable. Ultra averages 60.8 FPS, just barely clearing the threshold.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): All settings are playable, with Ultra averaging 91.3 FPS and Low reaching 189.5 FPS.

The 60 FPS threshold is the benchmark for playability. At 1080p, this combo has ample headroom, even at maximum quality. At 1440p, it can handle Ultra, but only by a slim margin. At 4K, the GPU is too weak for anything beyond Low. For players who prioritize high frame rates, 1080p is the sweet spot; for those who want 4K, they must accept Low settings and still get only 68.4 FPS.

A: It ranks 2037 out of 3707 tested combinations, placing it in the 55th percentile.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is:

• 3840x2160: Low — average 68.4 FPS. This is the only preset that clears 60 FPS at 4K.
• 2560x1440: Ultra — average 60.8 FPS. All presets are playable, but Ultra is the highest quality option that still meets the threshold.
• 1920x1080: Ultra — average 91.3 FPS. The system has enough performance to run the game at maximum settings with a comfortable margin.

These choices give the best visual quality while maintaining smooth gameplay. At 1440p, Ultra is a tight fit (60.8 FPS), so players who prefer a safety margin might drop to High (77.8 FPS), but the data confirms Ultra is technically playable. At 1080p, there is no reason to lower settings unless targeting even higher frame rates.
