GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 operates with a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz, built on the Polaris 20 chip with 2048 shading units. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. These specifications are modest by modern standards, and the benchmark data reflects this in Fivem.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution scales. At 1920x1080, the combination still achieves respectable numbers, but the 4 GB frame buffer and 32 ROPs struggle to keep up with the demands of higher pixel counts. The shift from Low to Ultra settings at 1080p shows a drop from 77 FPS to 38 FPS, indicating that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are quickly saturated.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. The average FPS at High settings falls to 32, and Ultra drops to 25. The 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is insufficient to feed the 256-bit bus efficiently at this resolution, leading to a clear bottleneck. The data suggests that the RX 570 is the primary constraint, as the CPU's 18 MB of shared L3 cache and 6 cores are likely underutilized when the GPU is struggling.

At 3840x2160, the situation is dire. The GPU's 4 GB VRAM is likely exceeded, causing significant performance degradation. The average FPS ranges from 14 at Ultra to 28 at Low, with the Medium preset showing a minimum of 19 FPS. These numbers indicate that the RX 570 is not viable for 4K gaming in Fivem, as the memory bandwidth and capacity become insurmountable barriers.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance cliff as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 77 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops the average to 50 FPS, a 35% reduction. At 3840x2160, the average falls to 28 FPS, representing a 64% loss compared to 1080p.

This scaling pattern points to the GPU as the limiting component. A CPU-bound scenario would typically show less dramatic FPS drops across resolutions, as the processor's workload remains relatively constant. Here, the RX 570's pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s are insufficient to handle the increased pixel count at higher resolutions.

The High settings preset shows a similar trend. At 1080p, the average is 48 FPS, dropping to 32 FPS at 1440p and further to 18 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and High settings also widens at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference is 29 FPS (77 vs 48), while at 4K, the difference narrows to 10 FPS (28 vs 18), suggesting that the GPU is hitting its absolute limits regardless of settings.

The Medium preset provides the most telling data. At 1080p, it averages 60 FPS with a min of 51 and max of 70. At 1440p, it drops to 40 FPS (min 34, max 46). At 4K, it plummets to 22 FPS (min 19, max 25). The consistent frame pacing at 1080p and 1440p indicates the GPU can manage the workload, but the 4K numbers show a breakdown in performance consistency.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 3529 out of 3707 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom 5% of all configurations. This rank is a direct consequence of the GPU's age and limitations, as the CPU's individual performance metrics are far more competitive.

The CPU alone sits in the 72nd percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 18683. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7643 (0.1% higher score), Intel Core i7-1355U (0.3% higher), and Intel Core i3-14100F (0.9% lower). This suggests the i5-12400 is a solid mid-range processor capable of handling modern workloads.

The GPU, however, shows its age. The RX 570 scores 28766 on average, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (0.4% higher), AMD Radeon RX 470 (0.8% higher), and AMD Radeon R9 M295X (0.7% lower). While the GPU's percentile is respectable, its absolute performance is insufficient for the demands of Fivem at higher resolutions.

The disparity between the CPU's relative strength and the GPU's weakness explains the combo's low rank. The i5-12400 has enough headroom to drive higher frame rates, but the RX 570 cannot deliver the necessary rendering power. Benchmark results indicate that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it can achieve playable frame rates at lower settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Low settings preset at 1920x1080 is the only configuration that consistently exceeds 60 FPS, averaging 77 FPS. This is the recommended choice for players seeking the smoothest experience, as it provides ample headroom for multiplayer scenarios where frame drops can occur.

For players who prefer a balance between visual quality and performance, the Medium preset at 1920x1080 is a viable option. It averages 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS, ensuring that the experience remains fluid in most situations. The frame pacing is consistent, as evidenced by the max FPS of 70.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset is the only sensible choice, averaging 50 FPS. Medium drops to 40 FPS, which may be acceptable for less demanding players, but the 34 FPS minimum could cause noticeable stuttering in busy multiplayer lobbies. High and Ultra at 1440p are not recommended, as they average 32 FPS and 25 FPS respectively.

The 3840x2160 resolution should be avoided entirely. Even the Low preset only averages 28 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for most users. The Ultra preset at 4K averages just 14 FPS, making it effectively unplayable.

The data shows that the Medium preset offers the most stable experience across all resolutions, with measured min and max values at every tested resolution. However, for the best overall experience in Fivem, the Low preset at 1080p is the clear winner.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. The Low preset averages 77 FPS, the highest of any configuration. Medium averages 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 70 FPS. High averages 48 FPS, while Ultra drops to 38 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 39 FPS difference, highlighting the GPU's sensitivity to graphical settings.

At 2560x1440, performance declines significantly. Low averages 50 FPS, Medium averages 40 FPS (min 34, max 46), High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 25 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 25 FPS, indicating that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low averages 28 FPS, Medium averages 22 FPS (min 19, max 25), High averages 18 FPS, and Ultra averages 14 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is just 14 FPS, suggesting that the GPU's limitations are absolute at this resolution.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset provides the most detailed data, with min and max values recorded at every resolution. This consistency suggests that the RX 570 handles the Medium workload predictably, making it the most reliable preset for benchmarking purposes. However, the overall trend is clear: this combination is only suitable for 1080p gaming at Low or Medium settings, with any higher resolution or preset resulting in sub-optimal performance.
