# Fivem Performance Analysis: Intel Core i5-12400 + AMD Radeon RX 580

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 580 produces a mid-range combination for Fivem, ranking 1642nd out of 1792 tested combos in this multiplayer title. This places the pairing in the lower percentile of tested configurations, indicating that while playable at certain settings, the system struggles at higher graphical demands and resolutions. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Alder Lake architecture, provides solid single-threaded capability, while the GPU, built on the older Polaris 20 chip with GCN 4.0 architecture, represents the primary constraint in this pairing. Benchmark data reveals a configuration that can handle 1080p gaming reasonably well at lower settings, but falls short at 4K and demanding quality presets.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for this system in Fivem?

A: The data shows 1920x1080 with Low settings delivers the highest average FPS at 88.1. For a balance of visual quality and performance, 1920x1080 Medium achieves 67.3 FPS average, while 2560x1440 Low yields 55.1 FPS average.

A: The RX 580's average benchmark score is 13559, which is essentially tied with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (13564, 0% delta) and GTX 950 (13549, 0.1% delta). The AMD Radeon Pro 455 trails by 1.1%, while the NVIDIA P106-090 leads by 1.1%.

Q: Can this system achieve 60 FPS at any setting and resolution?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system averages 88.1 FPS. At Medium settings, it reaches 67.3 FPS average. However, at 2560x1440, no settings preset achieves 60 FPS, with the highest being 55.1 FPS at Low.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-12400 and AMD Radeon RX 580 holds the 1642nd position out of 1792 tested combos in Fivem, placing it in the bottom tier of configurations. This ranking reflects a system that struggles with the demands of this multiplayer title, particularly at higher settings. The CPU itself performs admirably in synthetic benchmarks, with a 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs and an average benchmark score of 19850. Its nearest CPU rival, the Intel Core i7-9700, scores 19831 (0.1% delta), while the Intel Core i7-8700 scores 19894 (-0.2% delta), showing the i5-12400 is competitive with older i7 parts.

The GPU, however, pulls the overall combo ranking down significantly. The RX 580 sits at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 13559. Its nearest rival, the GTX 570, matches its score exactly (0% delta), while the GTX 950 is 0.1% behind. This GPU performance level, combined with Fivem's demanding nature, results in the low combo ranking. The discrepancy between the CPU's strong performance and the GPU's mid-range capability suggests that upgrading the graphics card would yield substantial improvements in this game, as the processor has headroom to support a more powerful GPU.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 serves as the definitive performance limiter in this configuration. With 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, the card offers 256.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which proves insufficient for 4K gaming in Fivem. The GPU's clock speeds of 1257 MHz base and 1340 MHz boost provide modest compute capability, translating to 6.175 TFLOPS FP32 performance. The card's 32 ROPS and 144 TMUs handle pixel and texture processing, but the GCN 4.0 architecture, built on a 14 nm process, shows its age in this title.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is adequate for most settings, but the bandwidth limitation becomes apparent at higher resolutions. At 3840x2160, the GPU's performance collapses to 16.8 FPS average at Ultra settings, demonstrating that the memory subsystem and compute units cannot sustain the workload. The card's pixel rate of 42.88 GPixel/s and texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s are simply insufficient for 4K gaming. At 1080p, however, the GPU can deliver playable frame rates, suggesting that users should target this resolution for the best experience. The RX 580's DirectX 12 (12_0) support and Vulkan 1.3 compatibility allow it to run Fivem's modern rendering paths, but the underlying hardware limitations cap its performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its best performance across all settings. Low settings yield 88.1 FPS average, providing a smooth experience for competitive play. Medium settings reduce this to 67.3 FPS average, still above the 60 FPS threshold. High settings drop further to 53.9 FPS average, while Ultra settings bottom out at 41.2 FPS average. This progression shows a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate, with each quality tier costing approximately 15-20 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance penalty becomes more pronounced. Low settings achieve 55.1 FPS average, barely playable for most users. Medium settings produce 47 FPS average, while High settings fall to 36.2 FPS average. Ultra settings at this resolution deliver only 25.2 FPS average, making them impractical for actual gameplay. The step from 1080p to 1440p costs approximately 33-37% performance across all settings, highlighting the GPU's bandwidth and compute limitations.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates at any setting. Low settings produce 31.6 FPS average, Medium drops to 24.5 FPS average, High settings yield 20.9 FPS average, and Ultra settings bottom out at 16.8 FPS average. None of these configurations approach the 60 FPS target, and even 30 FPS is only achievable at Low settings. The 4K results indicate that this resolution is not viable for this GPU, regardless of quality settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU's fundamental limitations. At Low settings, the system delivers 88.1 FPS at 1080p, 55.1 FPS at 1440p, and 31.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 37.5% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 64.1% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the decline is steeper in relative terms: 41.2 FPS at 1080p, 25.2 FPS at 1440p, and 16.8 FPS at 4K, a 38.8% and 59.2% reduction respectively.

The scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as resolution increases. The pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, but the RX 580's fill rate and bandwidth cannot keep pace. The CPU, with its strong single-thread performance (910 in 3DMark single-thread test) and 12 threads, is not the limiting factor here. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 88.1 FPS, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU adequately. As resolution climbs, the GPU's workload increases disproportionately, causing frame rates to collapse. This behavior confirms that users should prioritize GPU upgrades to improve 4K performance, while the i5-12400 provides sufficient headroom for more powerful graphics cards in Fivem.
