Dave The Diver

The Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers an exceptionally high frame rate in Dave The Diver, placing the combo at rank 846 out of 3,710 measured configurations — comfortably in the top quarter of tested systems. The measured data covers 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets, and every single configuration runs well above 100 fps average, with several exceeding 300 fps. The pattern across resolutions and presets points to a GPU‑limited system at 4K, while the 6‑core, 12‑thread CPU keeps pace effortlessly at 1080p, even on Low where the average reaches 319 fps. This analysis uses only the numbers from the measured dataset, which includes per‑setting average, minimum, and maximum frame rates for the Medium preset, providing a reliable window into real‑world stability.

Resolution Scaling

The gap between 1080p and 4K is substantial but expected for a visually demanding game. At the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 319 at 1080p to 240 at 1440p and further to 161 at 2160×2160 (actually 3840×2160). That is a drop of 158 frames from the smallest to the largest resolution. For Medium, the numbers are 267 at 1080p, 201 at 1440p, and 135 at 4K. High delivers 238 average at 1080p, 179 at 1440p, and 120 at 4K. Ultra lags farthest: 211 at 1080p, 158 at 1440p, and 106 at 4K.

The variance across resolutions tells a clear story. At 1080p, the difference between Low (319) and Ultra (211) is 108 frames, which means the GPU and CPU are both kept busy, but the CPU is not the bottleneck even at the highest quality. When we move to 4K, the same settings gap shrinks to 55 frames (161 Low vs. 106 Ultra). This narrowing indicates that at 4K the GPU is saturated, and the CPU has headroom to spare. The raw FPS numbers at 4K are still extremely high for a modern title—the lowest average (106 on Ultra) sails past the common 60 FPS target, while the Medium preset holds a solid 135 average with a minimum of 114. This confirms that the i5-12400 + RTX 4070 pairing shifts from a CPU‑bound regime at low resolutions to a GPU‑bound regime at 4K, but the margin is so large that users can happily use Ultra at 1080p and still see 211 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured dataset includes minimum and maximum frame counts only for the Medium preset, giving us a more complete stability picture than the other presets. At 1080p Medium, the average is 267 with a minimum of 227 and a maximum of 307—a 80‑frame spread. At 1440p Medium, the average is 201, with a 171 minimum and 231 maximum. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 135, but the minimum stays at 114 max 155. These numbers show that Medium delivers not only high average frame rates but also a floor well above 110 FPS even in the heaviest 4K scenario. For players seeking the best combination of smoothness and visual fidelity, Medium is the most consistent preset across all three resolutions.

If the monitor is only 1080p and players comfortable with the highest visual quality, Ultra still provides 211 average and the threshold is still excellent. But for those who prioritize consistent minimums over absolute peak pacing, Medium or High are superior choices. At 1080p High, the average is 238, but we have no min/max data to judge variability. Conversely, High at 1440p averages 179, while Ultra at 4K is 106.

Given that the minimum values are only recorded for Medium, that preset is clearly the safest recommendation. A user with a 144Hz monitor at 1440p will hit 201 average on Medium, which is well beyond the refresh rate, while the 171 minimum still stays above the V/Rate. The Tortura package suggests that the Medium preset is the most reliable high‑performance option because it supplies the only measured minima and maxima, and those indicators show no dips below 114 FPS even at 4K.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5‑12400F is a 6‑core, 12‑thread desktop processor built on the Alder Lake architecture with a 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, an L3 cache of 18 MB shared, and a 65 W TDP. In the dataset, its average benchmark score is 19,039, placing it at the 73rd percentile relative to all CPUs. The nearest rivals in benchmark average are the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (19,047 points, delta 0.0%), the Intel Core 3 201E (19,056, delta ‑0.1%), and the Intel Core i5‑1335U (18,982, delta +0.3%). Its synthetic performance—such as Cinebench R23 multi‑core scoring 12,380 and single‑core 1,680—indicates ample headroom for gaming.

The fact that the 1080p Low preset reaches 319 average FPS demonstrates that the 12400F is not creating a bound here: even when the GPU is pushed to produce extremely high raw frames, the CPU can feed it. In more demanding 4K scenarios, where the GPU output falls, the CPU is never stressed enough to hinder the frame rate. The CPU’s single‑core efficiency, reflected in its decent 3,481 single‑thread Passmark score, is sufficient to avoid any scripted drops. Even at the test's lowest point (4K Ultra), the system still delivers an average of 106 FPS, a number that would be far lower if the Core i5 were a weaker chip. The 12 threads help with audio processing, So it’s safe to say the processor is a willing collaborator, not a limiting factor.

Graphics Card

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 stands on the Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring 5, rose shaders – 5, satellite 5,588? Wait the pack says single: shadingUnits: 5888, TMUs 184, ROPs 64, RT cores 46, tensor cores 184. It has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192‑bit bus, with a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1920 MHz and boost clock 2475 MHz, with a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s. Its average benchmark score is 37,448, and it sits at the 81st percentile of all GPUs. Its closest competitors in the aggregate benchmarks are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (0.1% higher score), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.4% higher), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (‑1.3% lower). The GPU card consumes 200 W TDP.

The frame rate results align with a GPU‑capable design: at 4K Medium the card produces 135 FPS average, and even the hardest setting still outputs over 106. The to‑bit 12 GB buffer and 192‑bit memory bus are unlikely to become a constraint at these numbers. The measured FPS data confirms the card is the performance ceiling in Dave the Diver, as the scaling from 1080p to 4K matches what you’d expect when the GPU becomes the decisive component. The RTX 4070 provides enough intrinsic horsepower to push 4K Ultra at 106 fps, and when presets are lowered, the headroom expands dramatically, allowing 240+ FPS at 1440p and 319 at 1080p.
