Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers an exceptional performance profile for Fivem, with measured data indicating that every preset at every resolution tested clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. Across 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080, the combination shows significant headroom, with even the most demanding settings maintaining average frame rates well above the target, making this a top-tier configuration for the multiplayer title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 72 FPS. This is a substantial margin over the playable threshold, indicating that the hardware is not stressed by the game’s maximum visual fidelity at 4K. For players prioritizing higher refresh rates, dropping to High yields 93 FPS, while Medium and Low produce 116 FPS and 147 FPS respectively, all comfortably above the 60 FPS baseline.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset again is the best choice, delivering an average of 130 FPS. This represents a significant uplift over the 4K result, showcasing the scaling efficiency of the GPU when pixel count decreases. The High preset runs at 167 FPS, Medium at 209 FPS, and Low at 265 FPS, with the Medium setting showing a minimum of 178 FPS and a maximum of 240 FPS, indicating stable frame pacing even under load.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset provides an average of 197 FPS, which is more than triple the playable threshold. This makes the combination ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset reaches 254 FPS, Medium hits 282 FPS with a minimum of 240 FPS and a maximum of 325 FPS, and Low peaks at 307 FPS. The data shows that at 1080p, the system is largely unconstrained by the GPU, with frame rates limited more by the CPU’s single-thread performance in this multiplayer scenario.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i5-12400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, with the balance shifting as resolution changes. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant component. The frame rate progression from Low (147 FPS) to Ultra (72 FPS) shows a 51% drop, demonstrating that the RTX 5090 D’s rendering workload is the primary bottleneck at 4K. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides sufficient throughput to feed the GPU without becoming a limiting factor at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern persists but with less dramatic drops. The transition from Low (265 FPS) to Ultra (130 FPS) represents a 51% reduction, similar to 4K, but the absolute frame rates are higher. This suggests the GPU still carries most of the load, but the CPU’s role becomes more pronounced as the pixel count decreases, allowing higher overall throughput. The i5-12400F’s boost clock of 4.40 GHz and its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1680 are sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the CPU’s importance increases notably. The Ultra preset (197 FPS) is only 36% lower than the Low preset (307 FPS), a smaller gap than at higher resolutions. This indicates that at 1080p, the GPU is less stressed, and the frame rate is increasingly dictated by the CPU’s ability to process game logic and draw calls. The i5-12400F’s 3DMark single-thread score of 909 and its Passmark single-thread score of 3481 show that it is a capable processor for this task, but the data suggests that frame rates here are approaching the CPU’s practical ceiling for this title.

Across all resolutions, the GPU’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom, never appearing as a constraint. The CPU’s 18 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support (DDR4 and DDR5) are sufficient for the game’s demands, though the lack of integrated graphics means the discrete GPU is always required.
