Fivem

The Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination lands in the middle of the pack for Fivem, securing the 1076th spot out of 1792 tested combos. This places the pairing in the 60th percentile of all configurations tested, indicating a solid but not exceptional standing within the database. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is a dramatic outlier in synthetic benchmarks, yet the real-world gaming data reveals a system that can handle the game comfortably at most settings, though it struggles at the highest presets and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s 1076th rank out of 1792 combos puts it firmly in the upper-middle tier of all tested systems for Fivem. This positioning is consistent with the individual component standings: the CPU ranks in the 77th percentile against all processors, while the GPU sits in the 65th percentile against all graphics cards. The pairing is well-matched in terms of tier, avoiding the bottleneck that occurs when a high-end component is paired with a weak counterpart. In Fivem’s multiplayer environments, where CPU overhead from many connected players can be significant, the i5-12400’s strong multi-threaded performance helps keep the system competitive. The data shows this combo outperforms a substantial portion of the field, but it is not among the elite configurations that dominate the top ranks.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture using the TU104 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process by TSMC. It carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock runs at 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, while the memory operates at 1750 MHz, translating to 14 Gbps effective. These specifications place the card in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA RTX A400, which scores 22307 (a 0.5% difference), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z at 22006 (0.9% behind). The card’s 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs handle Fivem’s rendering demands effectively, but the 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a limiting factor at 4K with higher settings. In this game, the GPU’s role is most evident when transitioning from Low to Ultra presets, where the frame rate drops significantly due to increased shading and texture loads.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 provides 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Alder Lake-S architecture chip, built on Intel’s 10 nm process, includes 18 MB of shared L3 cache and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 15935 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2249 in single-core, with an average benchmark score of 19850. The nearest rivals show how tightly grouped this processor is with its peers: the Intel Core i7-9700 scores 19831 (0.1% difference), the Intel Core i7-8700 scores 19894 (0.2% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX scores 19928 (0.4% ahead). For Fivem, which is known to be sensitive to CPU performance in crowded multiplayer scenarios, the i5-12400’s 12 threads provide ample headroom. The CPU’s 77th percentile ranking suggests it can keep up with the GPU’s output in most situations, preventing the system from becoming CPU-bound at lower resolutions where the frame rates exceed 100 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers playable frame rates across all settings. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 179.1, a figure that highlights the CPU’s ability to feed frames quickly at lower graphical loads. Medium settings drop the average to 138.3 FPS, while High settings yield 109.6 FPS. The Ultra preset brings the average down to 85.3 FPS, which remains smooth for most displays. Moving to 1440p, the frame rates scale predictably: Low settings produce 118.2 FPS, Medium produces 88.4 FPS, High produces 73.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 57 FPS. The 4K results show a more dramatic falloff, with Low settings averaging 63.7 FPS, Medium at 50.1 FPS, High at 39 FPS, and Ultra at 32.5 FPS. The data shows that the system maintains above 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p for most settings, but at 4K, only the Low preset achieves a comfortable frame rate.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear shift in the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 179.1 FPS, but this drops to 118.2 FPS at 1440p Low (a 34% reduction) and further to 63.7 FPS at 4K Low (a 64% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline at 4K indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle to keep up with the increased pixel throughput. Conversely, the relatively modest drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings (from 179.1 to 118.2 FPS) suggests that the CPU is still capable of driving higher frame rates, but the GPU’s rendering limits take over as resolution increases. The pattern is consistent across all settings: the gap between 1080p and 1440p is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K, confirming that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K while the CPU holds up well at lower resolutions. For users targeting 1440p gameplay, the combo delivers a strong experience, with even the Ultra preset maintaining 57 FPS. At 4K, however, the system requires significant setting reductions to remain playable, with the Ultra preset falling below 40 FPS and the High preset just barely reaching 39 FPS. This scaling behavior aligns with the GPU’s 65th percentile ranking, showing that while the card is competent for mainstream gaming, it is not designed for high-refresh 4K experiences in Fivem.
