Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers an exceptionally strong performance profile for Fivem, with benchmark data showing it clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution and preset combination. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 63.5 FPS, while dropping to 1080p Low yields an average of 306.5 FPS, demonstrating that this pairing is not merely adequate but overwhelmingly capable across the board.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Fivem at 4K resolution?

A: Yes. The measured FPS data shows playable performance at all four tested settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at 3840x2160. The lowest average is 63.5 FPS at Ultra settings, which sits just above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?

A: Ultra settings are fully playable at 2560x1440, with an average FPS of 116.9. This is more than double the 60 FPS threshold, so you can max out the graphics preset without concern.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Core i5-12400F has an average benchmark score of 19039, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, scores 19047, a negligible 0% delta, while the Intel Core 3 201E is 0.1% slower.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 has an average benchmark score of 60347, ranking in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. The Intel Arc Pro A60 scores 60326 (0% delta), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 is 0.3% slower, indicating very close synthetic benchmark parity.

Q: What is the maximum average FPS this combo achieves?

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the measured average FPS is 306.5. This is the highest recorded average across all tested resolution and settings combinations.

Q: Is the RTX 4090 still in production?

A: No. The production status is listed as "End-of-life." Its successor is the GeForce 50 series, and its predecessor was the GeForce 30 series. The launch MSRP was 1,599 USD.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in component importance as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the performance delta between Low and Ultra settings is substantial: 306.5 FPS versus 179.3 FPS, a difference of 127.2 FPS. This wide spread indicates that at lower resolutions, the GPU's workload scales significantly with preset, while the CPU maintains a high enough frame throughput to avoid becoming the primary limiter.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with narrower margins. Low settings average 242.7 FPS, while Ultra drops to 116.9 FPS, a difference of 125.8 FPS. The absolute numbers remain very high, suggesting that the RTX 4090 still has ample headroom and the CPU is not constraining performance at this resolution either. The GPU's rendering load increases, but the combination still delivers well above the 60 FPS threshold at every preset.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The Ultra preset averages 63.5 FPS, which is just 3.5 FPS above the playable threshold, while High settings reach 85.2 FPS. The scaling from Low (132 FPS) to Ultra (63.5 FPS) shows a 68.5 FPS reduction, indicating that the RTX 4090's rendering workload at 4K is substantial. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, still provides sufficient frame pacing, but the data shows that the GPU's performance at 4K Ultra is the bottleneck, as the average FPS falls much closer to the threshold.

Across all resolutions, the CPU's role appears consistent: it provides a high enough baseline to avoid bottlenecking the GPU. However, the 4K Ultra result is instructive — the 63.5 FPS average suggests that further GPU headroom would be needed to push higher frame rates at this demanding preset, while the CPU's contribution remains stable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured averages are as follows: Low settings deliver 132 FPS, Medium reaches 105.3 FPS, High achieves 85.2 FPS, and Ultra drops to 63.5 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a linear degradation of roughly 20-25 FPS per preset step, with the final step (High to Ultra) being the smallest drop at 21.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance is significantly higher. Low settings average 242.7 FPS, Medium hits 190.8 FPS, High reaches 154.1 FPS, and Ultra still manages 116.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 125.8 FPS, and the step from Medium to High shows a 36.7 FPS reduction, which is the largest single-step drop in this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. Low settings peak at 306.5 FPS, Medium averages 282.6 FPS, High achieves 232.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 179.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 127.2 FPS reduction, with the largest single-step decline occurring from High to Ultra at 53.2 FPS.

The data shows no min or max FPS values recorded for any configuration, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS figures. Across all twelve measured combinations, every single average exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the lowest being the 4K Ultra result at 63.5 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS has an average score of 19047, which is effectively identical to the i5-12400F's 19039 (0% delta). The Intel Core 3 201E scores 19056, representing a -0.1% difference, meaning it is marginally slower. The Intel Core i5-1335U and AMD EPYC 7773X both score 18982 and 18979 respectively, with deltas of 0.3% — these are slightly faster in synthetic benchmarks but within a negligible margin.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc Pro A60 matches the RTX 4090's average score of 60347 with a 60326 result (0% delta). The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 scores 60140, which is 0.3% slower, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% faster with a score of 61896. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 trails by 2.9% with a score of 58657.

For a gaming perspective, these rival components would deliver broadly similar frame rates in Fivem. The CPU rivals, being within 0.3% of the i5-12400F's score, would not change the performance profile meaningfully. The GPU rivals, with deltas ranging from -2.5% to +2.9%, would produce FPS figures that are close to the measured values, though the W6600M might offer a slight edge in frame rates while the PRO V710 might see a minor reduction. None of these alternatives would push any tested configuration below the 60 FPS threshold.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this combination can run Fivem at all tested resolutions and presets. The verdictByResolution data confirms that every setting at every resolution is playable, with the playable settings list including High, Low, Medium, and Ultra for all three resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the best settings preset is Ultra, which yields an average FPS of 63.5. This is the only configuration that comes close to the playable threshold, but it still clears it by 3.5 FPS. For gamers prioritizing visual fidelity, 4K Ultra is viable, though High settings at 85.2 FPS provide more headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best setting, delivering 116.9 FPS. This is comfortably above the threshold and offers a balanced experience for high-refresh-rate monitors. The 154.1 FPS High preset provides even more margin for competitive play.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 179.3 FPS, making it the clear choice for maximum quality. For those seeking the highest possible frame rates, Low settings reach 306.5 FPS, which is more than five times the playable threshold.

The data indicates that this PC is not just capable of running Fivem but is overqualified for the task. The only scenario where performance approaches the threshold is 4K Ultra, and even then, it remains playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination ranks 145th out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the top 3.9% of all configurations in the benchmark database. This high rank reflects the GPU's position in the 88th percentile of all GPUs and the CPU's 73rd percentile standing.

Given that the RTX 4090 is an end-of-life product with a predecessor and successor already established, its presence in the upper echelon of the rankings is notable. The CPU, while more modestly ranked, still provides sufficient single-thread performance for Fivem's demands, as evidenced by the measured FPS figures.

The rank of 145 suggests that while there are 144 other combos that perform better, they likely feature even more powerful CPUs or newer GPU generations. For the vast majority of the 3707 tested combinations, this pairing delivers superior results, and the data confirms that it exceeds the playable threshold at every tested configuration. The combination of a mid-range CPU with a flagship GPU creates an asymmetric but highly effective pairing for Fivem, where the GPU's dominance at lower resolutions is particularly evident.
