Fivem

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-12600KF sits in a tightly contested performance band. Its average benchmark score of 27,799 places it within a fraction of a percent of several established processors. The closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE, which scores 27,712, a delta of just 0.3% behind. The Intel Core i9-10900K scores 27,872, putting it 0.3% ahead of the i5-12600KF, which is effectively a statistical tie. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U posts 27,887, also 0.3% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D reaches 27,896, a 0.3% advantage. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Fivem, assuming the graphics card is not the limiting factor. The i5-12600KF's percentile ranking of 79 among all CPUs confirms that it is a solid mid-to-upper tier processor, but the data shows it is not a standout performer relative to these four rivals.

The GPU situation is quite different. The Intel Arc B390 records an average benchmark score of 1,482, which places it at the 9th percentile among all GPUs. This is an extremely low ranking. Its nearest rivals are all NVIDIA entry-level parts from previous generations. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1,463, which is 1.3% behind the Arc B390. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1,460, 1.5% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1,446, 2.5% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1,443, 2.7% behind. The deltas here are small, meaning the Arc B390 performs in the same class as these older, low-end graphics solutions. Anyone expecting modern gaming performance from this GPU will find the benchmark data sobering. The Arc B390 is an integrated graphics part based on the Xe3-LPG architecture with 1,536 shading units, but its raw compute output of 7.680 TFLOPS does not translate into competitive gaming frame rates in this title.

For Fivem specifically, the combination of a strong CPU and a very weak GPU means the system's overall behavior will be dominated by the graphics bottleneck. The CPU side offers plenty of headroom, but the GPU side is the constraint. Users coming from a system with a GT 710 or GT 625 OEM should expect a modest uplift, but not a transformative one.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data makes the division of labor clear. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system averages 88 FPS. Dropping to Medium reduces the average to 70 FPS, High to 56 FPS, and Ultra to 43 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 20.5% reduction in frame rate, from Medium to High is a 20.0% reduction, and from High to Ultra is a 23.2% reduction. These are substantial drops, and they indicate that the GPU is the primary limiter even at the lowest resolution. A CPU-bound scenario would show much smaller frame rate differences between presets, especially at 1080p where the i5-12600KF has ample thread capacity.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues. Low averages 58 FPS, Medium 46 FPS, High 37 FPS, and Ultra 29 FPS. The step-downs are 20.7%, 19.6%, and 21.6% respectively. At 3840x2160, Low averages 32 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 20 FPS, and Ultra 16 FPS. The reductions are 21.9%, 20.0%, and 20.0%. The consistency of these percentage drops across all three resolutions is telling. The GPU load scales predictably with resolution and preset, and the CPU is never the binding constraint. The i5-12600KF's 16 threads and strong single-thread performance are simply not being taxed by Fivem at these settings.

Resolution scaling reinforces the GPU-bound conclusion. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p drops the average from 88 FPS to 58 FPS, a 34.1% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K drops it from 58 FPS to 32 FPS, a 44.8% reduction. At Medium settings, 1080p to 1440p goes from 70 FPS to 46 FPS, a 34.3% drop, and 1440p to 4K goes from 46 FPS to 25 FPS, a 45.7% drop. The larger penalty at higher resolutions is classic GPU behavior. The Arc B390's memory bandwidth is system dependent, and at 4K the demand for fill rate and memory throughput exceeds what this integrated part can deliver.

The verdict from the data: the CPU is not the bottleneck in any tested configuration. The GPU is. For users who want to improve Fivem performance, upgrading the graphics solution would yield far more benefit than swapping the processor.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold for this analysis is 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on Low settings with an average of 88 FPS. Medium settings also stay above 60 FPS, averaging 70 FPS. The most demanding preset that remains playable is Medium, with an average of 70 FPS. High settings fall short at 56 FPS, and Ultra drops to 43 FPS. So the best playable configuration at 1080p is Medium.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS. Low averages 58 FPS, just under the threshold. Medium averages 46 FPS, High 37 FPS, and Ultra 29 FPS. There is no best settings entry for this resolution because none are playable.

At 3840x2160, the situation is worse. Low averages 32 FPS, Medium 25 FPS, High 20 FPS, and Ultra 16 FPS. No preset comes close to 60 FPS.

The only resolution where this system delivers a smooth experience is 1920x1080, and only at Low or Medium quality. Users who prioritize visual fidelity above 1080p will need to accept frame rates well below the playable threshold.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Fivem? The answer depends entirely on resolution and settings. The recorded data shows that at 1920x1080, Low and Medium presets both exceed 60 FPS, with averages of 88 FPS and 70 FPS respectively. Medium is the highest playable preset. At 2560x1440, every preset fails to reach 60 FPS, with Low being the closest at 58 FPS. At 3840x2160, all presets are far below the threshold, with the best case at Low averaging 32 FPS.

The system is playable only at 1080p, and only at Medium or lower settings. The Intel Arc B390 is the limiting component. Its 9th percentile GPU ranking and benchmark scores comparable to the GT 710 class mean that high resolution and high detail are out of reach. For a game like Fivem, which is a multiplayer title where frame rate consistency matters, the 1080p Medium configuration is the only viable path. Users expecting 1440p or 4K performance will be disappointed. The CPU is more than capable, but the GPU simply cannot deliver.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full measured FPS table is presented below. All values are averages unless otherwise noted.

At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 16 FPS. High averages 20 FPS. Medium averages 25 FPS, with a minimum of 22 FPS and a maximum of 29 FPS. Low averages 32 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 29 FPS. High averages 37 FPS. Medium averages 46 FPS, with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS. Low averages 58 FPS.

At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 43 FPS. High averages 56 FPS. Medium averages 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. Low averages 88 FPS.

The Medium preset at each resolution is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values, which provides a sense of frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 59 FPS is just under the 60 FPS threshold, but the average of 70 FPS indicates acceptable overall performance. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 39 FPS and maximum of 53 FPS show significant variance, reinforcing that the experience is not smooth. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 22 FPS and maximum of 29 FPS are both far below playable.

The data shows a clear and consistent degradation as resolution and settings increase. This is a textbook GPU-limited profile.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the database for Fivem, this system ranks 3,294 out of 3,707. That places it in the bottom 11% of configurations. The ranking reflects the severe GPU limitation. The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a capable processor, but the Intel Arc B390 drags the overall combination down. The benchmark data indicates that most other tested combos deliver higher frame rates in Fivem, likely due to having discrete graphics solutions with more performance headroom.

The rank of 3,294 is consistent with a system that can only play at 1080p Medium or Low. For context, the GPU's 9th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its benchmark score of 1,482, which is within a few percent of the GT 710 class, explain why this combo falls so far down the list. Users considering this configuration should understand that it is not representative of what modern hardware can achieve in Fivem. The CPU is not the issue, but the integrated GPU is a severe constraint. Upgrading to any discrete graphics card would likely improve the rank substantially, but based on the recorded data, this specific combo is a low performer.
