Fivem

# Fivem with Intel Core i5-12400 + AMD Radeon RX 9060

The data shows a mid-range pairing that lands in the 57th percentile of tested combinations for Fivem, with the GPU positioned as the clear performance ceiling across all resolutions. The Intel Core i5-12400 provides solid single-threaded throughput while the AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers playable framerates that scale predictably with resolution and settings, creating a system that is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming rather than 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS values reveal a steep drop as resolution climbs from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average framerate falls from 111 FPS at 1080p to 73 FPS at 1440p, then to 40 FPS at 4K. That represents a 34% reduction moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 45% reduction when jumping to 4K. This scaling pattern suggests the AMD Radeon RX 9060 is the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the framerate losses outpace what would be expected from pixel count increases alone.

The Ultra preset tells an even clearer story. At 1080p, the system manages 86 FPS average, but at 1440p that drops to 56 FPS, and at 4K it collapses to just 31 FPS. The 4K Ultra result sits below the 40 FPS threshold often considered the minimum for a playable experience, indicating that this combination is not suited for maximum quality at 4K. The GPU's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth appear to be strained by the 3840x2160 resolution combined with high detail settings.

Low settings show the most dramatic resolution sensitivity, with 175 FPS at 1080p dropping to 115 FPS at 1440p and 64 FPS at 4K. Even with minimal graphical load, the 4K resolution cuts performance by more than half compared to 1080p. This reinforces the interpretation that the Radeon RX 9060's rendering throughput, rated at 21.43 TFLOPS FP32, is the bottleneck rather than the CPU, since even the lowest settings cannot overcome the pixel fill requirements at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The data supports a clear recommendation for 1080p gaming: the High preset at 111 FPS average provides a smooth experience while leaving headroom for demanding multiplayer scenarios common in Fivem. The Medium preset at 138 FPS offers additional margin, but the jump from Medium to Low (175 FPS) provides diminishing returns for most players. For competitive play where maximum framerate matters, Low at 175 FPS is the measured choice, though the visual compromise is substantial.

At 1440p, the High preset delivering 73 FPS average is the standout option. It maintains playable framerates while preserving visual quality, and the Medium preset at 91 FPS offers a buffer for those who prefer smoother motion over detail. The Ultra preset at 56 FPS sits at the edge of playability — acceptable for slower-paced gameplay but risky in fast multiplayer action. Low at 115 FPS is viable for esports-style play, but the graphical downgrade from High is significant.

For 4K, the options are limited by the measured data. High settings produce only 40 FPS average, which falls below the 60 FPS target most players expect. Medium at 50 FPS with a 43 FPS minimum improves the situation slightly but still leaves no margin for framerate dips. Low at 64 FPS is the only 4K preset that achieves a consistently playable experience, though it sacrifices most visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 31 FPS is not recommended for any scenario.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 brings 6 cores and 12 threads to the pairing, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Its benchmark results show a single-thread score of 910 in 3DMark and 2257 in Cinebench R23, placing it in the 72nd percentile among all CPUs tested. This single-thread strength is relevant for Fivem, which is built on a multiplayer modification framework that often relies on a limited number of threads for game logic and world simulation.

The CPU's multi-threaded performance, measured at 5873 in 3DMark 16-thread and 15989 in Cinebench R23 multicore, provides ample headroom for background processes while gaming. The 18 MB shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 give the processor flexibility in system builds. However, the framerate data suggests the CPU is not the primary constraint in most tested configurations — the consistent scaling with resolution points to GPU limitation.

The nearest rival comparisons show the i5-12400 sits close to several other processors: it is 0.1% behind the AMD EPYC 7643, 0.3% behind the Intel Core i7-1355U, and 0.7% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 in average benchmark scores. It edges out the Intel Core i3-14100F by 0.9%. These tight margins indicate the CPU is performing at its expected level for its class, with no anomalous results that would suggest a bottleneck in this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and AMD Radeon RX 9060 ranks 1714 out of 3005 tested combinations for Fivem, placing it in the 57th percentile of systems measured. This mid-pack positioning reflects a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically overperforms nor underperforms relative to the other. The rank suggests that roughly 43% of tested systems deliver higher framerates in this game, which aligns with the GPU's 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

The GPU's nearest rivals provide context for this ranking. The Radeon RX 9060 is 0.7% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in average benchmark scores, 1% ahead of the AMD Radeon R9 370X, and 1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7700. It leads the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 by 2.1%. These narrow margins indicate the RX 9060 performs in line with its direct competitors, and the combo's overall rank reflects this parity.

The CPU side shows similar clustering, with the i5-12400's average benchmark score of 18683 sitting within 1% of its nearest rivals. The combination of a mid-pack CPU and mid-pack GPU results in the observed 57th percentile ranking for this game. This suggests that Fivem's performance is not heavily skewed toward either component class, and the system's rank is a reasonable reflection of its constituent parts.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with a Navi 44 chip manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units provide the raw throughput for the measured framerates. The boost clock of 2990 MHz and game clock of 2400 MHz are aggressive for the 132 W TDP, which uses a single 8-pin power connector and suggests a 300 W power supply.

The 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration appears to be a limiting factor at 4K resolution, where the measured framerates drop sharply. The 64 FPS at Low settings and 40 FPS at High settings at 3840x2160 indicate that the GPU cannot sustain the memory bandwidth required for high-resolution textures and geometry. The 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 compute rating is competitive for the class, but the narrow memory bus constrains 4K performance.

In benchmark tests, the GPU scores 3322 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 88183 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 39476 in Geekbench Vulkan. The Passmark G3D score of 17631 places it in the 59th percentile among all GPUs. The GPU compute score of 9919 in Passmark suggests the card handles compute workloads adequately, but the gaming-focused metrics tell the more relevant story for Fivem. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures the GPU is not bandwidth-limited in its connection to the CPU.
